Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood*
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modem
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginnin;
in the disorder o
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood—
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and

Was Lawn Party at Court House Yes

The Ck/urt House grounds, always
beautiful were more than u'suuily so
Tuesday. The added decoratious to
tho natural beauty consisted of a num
ber of young ladios in summer frocks,
who wore on duty from 4 until 11 p. m
These modern goddesses served uectar
and ambrosia in the latter-day form of
ico cream, strawberries and cakes. The
lawn party was for tho benefit of the li
brary and a neat sum was realized for
that worthy purpose. Captain Triplett
who was tho guardian angel of the af
fair and the committee of ladies who
Ijad it in charge deserve great credit for
their efforts.
Tho gronnds were illuminated with
Japaueao lanterns and made an especial
ly beautiful sight at night. The yonng
ladies who served were Misses May
Hopkins, Mamie Hansel), Mary Jerger,
Julia Wright, Eva Gardiner, .Marie

ian of the reserve funds of the Company, essential to the fulfillment of the terifcs and con*

which no other company can make. ' e •
