LOVELY HYPOCRISY.
Utile Trick. 1 hieli *l,<>o Wlnit n
<’o iim <iinnixl< In Pnttl.
A dramatic writer of San Francisco
tells tb<> following amusing story of
Patti’s last visit to tlu* Pacific coast.
He was nt the station with many others
to meet the great diva whin she ar
rived.
“The diva ste: ] ed from the train,’’
said the San IL ineisean, “and after
inhaling a lung : I < f fog remarked:
*Oh, this is heat - I All my troubles
are paid for. Thank heaven, I breathe
the air of San Francisco once again!’
This was nil very sweet in tl.e high
priced canary bird, and the newspaper
boys were all delighted.
“However, it was only a short time
before I went down to the train to meet
Patti at Salt Lake City. She was de
scending from her car, and as her feet
touched the ground she exclaimed:
‘Thank heaven, I breathe the air of
Salt Lake C : ty once more! All my trou
bles are paid for. Oh, this is heaven!’
The newspaper boys were all delighted
with her.
“As fur myself, on both of these oc
casions I was delighted also —with the
diva’s lovely hypocrisy, that accursed
sin which the poet tells us takes the
best men in. I never thought Patti
much of an actress, but I changed my
mind in this respect after witnessing
these two exhibitions.”
Nothing in the way of “lovely hy
pocrisy” can surprise anybody who has
ever seen Patti on the concert stage.
She rushes to the footlights, a vision of
smiling radiance, eyes swimming with
the moisture of overpowering joy and a
look of pleading affection on her coun
tenance, as if the present moment were
the happiest of her life and as if she
were consumed by an eager desire to
embrace and kiss everybody in the au
i ilience. And she does it all so naturally
I and spontaneously that the majesty of
| the assemblage is instantly “mashed”
j and would cheerfully lynch anybody
! who would intimate that there was any
I “acting” about it.
Pacific Coast Drying Up-
Ihe extension of explorations and
observations in the region of country
> west of the Rocky mountains tends in
1 many ways to develop and confirm the
j proposition that a steadily progressive
: aridity is slowly replacing former hu
j mid climatic conditions. This change
is manifest in various ways—most
conspicuously in the decreasing vol
ume of water in many of the.lakes and
streams throughout the region, as
shown by the existence of former
I beach lines at higher levels, and in
I the profound disturbances and modifi
cations taking place in the native
I Hora.
The phenomena which follow the
advance of arid'ty are not limited by
altitude, for, while the desert condi
I tions at low elevations exhibit them in
their most intense aspect, (bey are also
'clearly traceable to the highest sum
! mils, where gradually dwindling
glaciers and abnormally high eX’en
I sious of .certain lowland types of forest
show the general trei.d ~f the climatic
; change.—National Gee jraphical Mag

Water Drinking-
When it is r< me n.b . It' t tlie
I body is made up very largely <>t water,
lit will readily be understood In w- im*
i portant to health is a constant supply
of this fluid. Many [ t opb' have the
idea that to drink water in. any amount
beyond that which is actually neces
sary to quench thirst is injurious, and
' acting on this belief they drink as lit*
I tie as possible. The notion, however,
is wide of the truth. Drinking freely
!of pure water is a most efficacious
means not only of pr serving health,
but often of restoring it when failing.
All the tissues of the body need wa
ter, and w Her in abundance is neces
sary also for the proper performance
of every vital function. Cleanlinessof
the tissues within the bod,, is as neces
sary to health and comfort as cleanli
ness of the skin, and water tends to
ensure lhe one as truly us it does lhe
other. These waste materials are fre
quently poisonous, ami many a head
ache, many rheumatic pi.insaud aches,
many sleepless nights and listless days
are due sorely to the circulation in the
blood, oi deposit in the tissues, of these
waste materials which cannot be got
rid of because of an insufficient supply
of water —Family Doctor.

today is traceable to kidney trouble. It
pervades all classes of society, in all cli
mates, regardless of age, sex or condition.
The sy inptoms of kidney trouble are un
mistaka! le, such as rheumatism,.neuralgia
Sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in the back
a desire to urinate often day or night, pro- '
fuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine 1
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing pois
oned and germ-nlled blood. Sometimes <
the heart am s badly, and tube casts (vast- <
■ ing of the kidneys) are fyund in the urine, <
which if neglected will result in Bright’s
Disease, the most dangerous form of kid
ney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. It has a world
wide reputation for.its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is
