"There's a queer thing about Italian laborers," said a contractor who em­ ploys a great many of them, "and that is that they absolutely refuse to work in the rain. Stop a minute and think. Did you ever see a gang of them work­ ing in the streets, digging trenches or doing any other manual labor in the rain? Well, you never did and proba­ bly never will. Just as soon as a show­ er sets in, no matter how slight, they will scramble for cover. If the rain continues, they will soon complain of feeling sick and knock off for the day. One fellow will have a sore throat, an­ other will be doubled up with pains in his stomach, and others will suddenly acquire severe ailments of all sorts. It is useless to attempt to do anything with them, and pretty soon they wil! all go trooping home." -- Philadelphia Record. Llvtag Indelible Inlc. If the shell of the Purpura lapillus be broken there is seen on the back of the animal, just under the skin, a slender, whitish vein which contains a yellow liquor. When this liquor is applied to linen with a small brush and exposed to the sun it becomes successively green, blue and purple, and finally set­ tles into a brilliant unchangeable crim­ son. Housewives of New England have growing abundantly on the sea­ side rocks in their neighborhoods little living bottles of indelible ink, not to be excelled in beauty or durability by any manufactured product, since neither acid nor alcohol will affect this juice of the whelk. 4 This article we j t guarantee to be j t strictly first- j class Red Fish. £ | If not as repre- j sented, money j back . £ DON'T BE FOOLED!

If so, what makes It ache and what does it mean? There is a reason for everything, and if you have a , backache, there must be a cause for it.. I The chances are your kidneys are at fault. If they are not right, the quicker I you attend to them the better it will be; for a neglected kidney trouble cannot get well of itself. When these organs once commence to break down the work of de­ struction continues unless death is averted by the prompt use of proper means. EDWARD HUSS, a prominent business man of Salisbury, MOm suffered fright­ fully from backache and in a recent letter he tells how he managed to stop it. I He says: "I had been a sufferer for A lonsr time from lumbaeo, and, of course, tried almost everything I heard of that offered relief; but all the BO-called rem- I edies I took did me no good until a friend ! induced me to try FOLEY'S KIDNEY CUBE. i I used three bottles of it and was entirely 1 cured." J Thousands of others have met with the same success in using this remedy for kidney and bladder troubles. 1 FOLEY'S KIDNEY CUBE is a preparation that can be depended upon to do all that Is claimed for it. Physicians of the high­ est standing employ it in their practice, for it is a combination of the most valu­ able kidney t and bladder remedies en­ dorsed by specialists in the diseases of those organs. IT taken early it will cure every form of kidney and bladder trouble and will quickly relieve the worst caaafr even in the last stages. N. H. PETESCH. McHENRY COUNTY ABSTRACT COMPANY.
