Life itself is often the price that must be paid by such pei* sons as railroad conductors, engineers, brakemen, commercial travelers and others who spend the greater part of their lives on the cars. Their fate Is kidney trouble of some kind. Constant motion jars the kidneys that are kept in place In the body by del* icate attachments and causes Diabetes, Albuminuria, Bright's Disease, Train- men's Disease and all other kidney troubles. During recent years traveling men have been informing one another of the bene­ fits they can secure by using Four's KIDNBT CUM. It is a compound of the best agents known to kidney specialists and as a cure for all kidney troubles it has never been equaled. Reports have been received of remarkable cures effect* ed by it, and even the worst and most hopeless cases have been greatly relieved by Its use. GEO. H. HATTSAH, of Lima, Ohio, writes as follows: " I am a locomotive engineer on the LE. & W. R. R. Constant vibra* tlon of ths engine caused me a great deal of trouble with my kidneys, and I got no relief until I used FOLEY'S KIDNEY Ctnu^ and I gladly recommend it to trainmen who are generally afflicted as I was."

Apropos of the eterual domestic ques­ tion. an Englishwoman relates this ex­ perience: "I engaged a maid named Pearl, and as I sitnply couldn't ask a Peurl to fill the coal scuttle or to holy­ stone the doorstep. I said: 'I would rather call you by some other name. Have you a second one?' 'Yes," replied the damsel brightly, 'my second name Is Opal.' So I stuck to Pearl. At one time I all but engaged a maid named Hermione, but upon asking her, 'Have you a black dress, white caps and aprons?' she replied acidly: 'Yes, I have; but I'm not going to wear 'em.
