what’s the use going "back a hundred
years? A system of Shorthand and
Bookkeeping twenty years old is but
little use today.
As the steam ship has crowded out
the sail boat, as the typewriter the J
goose quill pen and puke be try ink, so
have the famous Byrne systems of
Bookkeeping, Business Training and
Shorthand taken in half the time and j
cost of becoming an expert account-1
ant or stenographer; they teach bus-;
iness as well as Bookkeeping, they
make it possible for the student to
graduate and begin earning while the
student of the other systems is less
than half through his course; they
give the student a more thorough prac
tieal working knowledge, which means
a higher salary.
These practical, modern, time-saving
systems can be had in this section
only in the Tyler Commercial College.
You would not think of riding in an ox
cart in preference to an automobile.
Then why think of studying the old
oxcart systems of accounting and ste-
nography when you can get the Byrne
systems which possesses such wonder-
ful advantages that they enabled the
management of the Tyler Commercial
College to build the largest business
training school in America, with an
anual enrollment of more than JOOO.

Weekly Health Talks
A WORD ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
RY DOCTOR WATSON.
People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may bo; but few people understand
the dangers of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty of vital importance
to perform, and if they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every-
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form of urate
salts — in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back—often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., in recent
years, discovered that a Certain com-
bination of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. Ho
found this combination to be harmless,
so that he made it up in tablets,
of double strength, and called them
A runic Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid
troubles, don’t delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write Dr. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you wbat to eat
and how to live so that more uric acid
will no# form in your system. Dr..Pierce
will not charge for this advice,
( hamherlain's Tablets
Yi hen you are troubled with indi-
gestion or constipation, take Cham-
berlain’s Tablets. They strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Indigestion is
usually accompanied by constipation
and is aggravated by it. Chamber-
lain's Tablets cause a gentle move-
ment. of the bowels, relieving the con-
stipated condition
Cured at a Cost of 25 Cents
“Fight years ago when we first
moved to Mattoon, 1 was a great suf-
ferer from indigestion and constipa-
tion,” writes Mrs. Robert Allison,
Mattoon, 111. “I had frequent head-
aches and dizzy spells, and there was
a feeling like a heavy weight pressing
on my stomach and chest all the time.
I felt miserable. Every morsel of
food distressed me. I could not rest
at night and felt, tired ami worn out
all the time. One bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Tablets cured me ami I have
since felt like a different person.”
Any self made man will tell you
that there are a lot of toll gates uloug
the road to success.
