NIGHTS TILL ICE POUND RELIEF IN DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. Fred. Swanson, of Saskatchewan, sends a message of cheer to those who feel the weariness and ,.lis- couragelnent that comes frtim broken rest. • Macklin, Sask., San. 13 (Special). --Those who suffer from sleepless nights and get up in the morning feeling tired and discouraged will find renewed hope in the statement made by Fred Swanson of this place. He could not sleep at nights. He discovered the cause. It was' Kidney trouble. He discovered the cure. It is Dodd's Kidney Pills. "Yes," Mr. Swanson says in an interview regarding his ease, "I was troubled with my Kidneys for over a year, so bad that I could not sleep at nights. After using one box of Dodd',s Kidney Pills I found great relief. Four boxes removed all my pain and now I sleep well and I am as strong in my Kidneys as any man." If the Kidneys are wrong the blood becomes clogged with impuri- ties and natural rest is all impossi- bility. Strong, healthy Kidneys mean pure blood, new life all over the body and that delightful rest that is thesweetest thing in life. Dodd',s Kidney Pills always make strong, healthy Kidneys. aj. MUSICAL LEGS AND WINGS. How Katydids Fiddle and Seven- ' teen -Year Locusts Drum. Many of the little folks of field and forest have fine musical instru- ments and play them night and day for three or four months of the year. The long -horned grasshop- per, or true katydid, is the leader of the band, He has two sets of wings, the outer ones used for flying, the inner ones making up the bow and fiddle.. Near the base of these inner wings is fastened a set of strong veins. When he moves them •so that the veins on. each wing rub together it makes a funny little Wiry sound, and that is what is 'called "grass- h!)pper'sa£tddlin ;' :._ O'rr ' comnrion little green grass- hopper is another fine player. His fiddle is attached to one wing., and he uses his hind leg for a bow. On this leg is a. line of little beadlike lumps, from each of which grow a number of fine hairs. When Mr. Grasshopper draws this leg back and forth over his wings his love songs thrill out on the summer air. His poor little mate tries hard to make the same kind of music; she goes through the same motions, but ean never produce a. single sound. She never grows discouraged, but keeps it up night and day, and I suppose her lover takes the will for the deed and loves her just the same. Another first-class fiddler is the cricket. His tune is loud and shrill. One tune by night, one by day, is his rule. He has even been known to change his note when the clouds darkened the sun for a while in the day. Some insects beat little drums when they want to make music. The seventeen-year locust has two tiny drums fastened to his ab- domen. They are fixed firm and tight, and to .each one is attached a strong muscle which the insect can tighten or relax at will. It makes a sound something like beat- ing on a tin pan and will drown out every other musical note of the summer day. Another queer player is the death-watch b-eetle. He burrows into old wood, and makes a tap-ta.p- tap as he pushes along. Tho longioorn beetle produces a rattling sound by the friction of his scaly neck. Many others of our fairy-like friends have musical ar- rangements that make us think of fiddles. In feet the violins of our own use were probably suggested by these little fiddlers of nature.

Then her Majesty summoned the. Queen Alexandra. errant lover, who also herd a do- mestio position in the Palace. After a kindly and tactful homily, Queen Alexandra, with humorous tact, sent the young man also to Sand- ringham. Very shortly thereafter the couple returned to town, and there was a wedding sequel, with the Royal blessing.

Meat is still going up in price, but this fact need not worry house- wives much longer, for a new food product ' has been discovered by comeagricultural experts, says Pearson',s Weekly. This new product, which it is claimed will help to solve the ques- tion of the increasing eosrt of living, is a fruit tree called the Avocado, growing in Mexico. The fruit of the tree is pear- shaped, but the queer part about it is that it is composed of the sub- stances which are to be found in meat. It contains about 20 per cent. of fat and many other ingredients of great food valise, and it is Said that one good-sized "meat" pear is quite sufficient to make a meal for the average man. Some experts have grown quite enthusiastic about it; it is far su- perior to the banana, they say, and is, in fact, "the most valuable fruit known." The natives of Mexico live almost entirely on the Avocado, and it is hoped that with a sufficient supply of the trees the world could do away with meat entirely. If this does happen how vegetar- ians will welcome it! The reason why the fruit is so little known at present is because it is grown nowhere on a large scale, what few trees there are grow round the huts of the natives, where they flourish with little care, and afford easy meals for the indo- lent owners.
