Nature may be warning you that your kidneys need attention. The kidneys are Nature's chief way of taking excess acids and poisonous waste out of the blood.

These poisons may start nagging backaches, rheumatic pains, leg pains, loss of pep and energy, getting up nights, swelling, puffineea under the eyes, headaches and dizziness.

I wasn't ready for it — neither of us was ready for marriage when our hopes pulled us in different ways. It was a trap and we would be blundering into it without planning, without understanding. It seemed to me that the old ways, the old rules of married life were what Johnny thought he had found in loving me. A wife who devoted herself exclusively to his comfort and the care of his children — who borrowed, repeated, all her ideas from her husband — who quoted his opinions on all subjects — who spent all her time and energies within the walls of her home. I remembered Johnny's words: "When a man falls in love he feels like shutting his girl up in a castle" and again "the path is so clear, all marked out for us. . . ." But I didn't want that path. It seemed to me there were new rules — ones that women had fought for — and they should not be relinquished. Women had shown they could take responsibility in war-time work and do it well, that their minds were intelligent and their use in life something more than housekeeping and child-bearing. If only I didn't love Johnny so much! The thought of perhaps being separated from him with only this glimpse for both of us of what love could be like, with the promise when our hands touched of what the reality of love could be — that was unfair, unnatural. I wanted us really to belong to each other. I wanted our letters to have tenderness and remembrance and promise to read between the lines . . . something to hold and cherish and come back to. But marriage, to Johnny, with his passion for fatherhood, meant a home and children. And I wasn't ready for either — not on his and my Mom's terms. It was on a Saturday when Mr. Tuthill, who ran the business school, called me into his office. When I left in fifteen minutes I was walking on wings. I could hardly wait to see Johnny, to reach our appointed meeting place near the old quarry, to tell him my news. " '. . . the job is yours,' he said." I was so excited I failed to notice Johnny's tense stillness. "I'm to start work next week for the Doorne Tool Company in Purdy. Mr. Tuthill said I had the best record of any student in the school and I was 'eminently qualified' for the position. Oh, I'm so excited!" "You mean you won't be here when I come back? I can't picture you any place else, somehow. I had thoughts of seeing you for the first time, coming out of your kitchen door, looking for me — with your Mom standing behind you with her apron twisted in her hands, like she always does when she gets excited — " he was stumbling slowly over his words, trying to give me the picture — "I had dreams of walking to ANSWERS TO RADI-I-Q: 1.
