If you do the best your circum-
stances will ullow you do well.—
angels could do no more.
A home with love, sunshine
and music has only one counter-
part—heaven.
There is nothing more beauti-
ful than to see a husband and
wife thoughtful for each other’s
happiness.
Hope is the best medicine in
the world, but doctors don’t pre-
scribe it because the druggist
don’t keep it. A man must find
it in his own heart or go without
it entirely.
No man or woman of the hum-
blest sort can really be strong,
gentlo and pure and good, with-
out somebody being helped and
comforted by the very exi.-tence
of that goodness.
Why wait till your friend dies
and then plant flowers on his
place of rest while he sleeps on
unconscious of your act? Why
not plant flowers along his path-
way in life? He needs them now
more, possibly, than you think—
he will not need them then.
Praise your children for every-
thing they do well.
Praise your wife for everything
she does well.
Praise your husband for ev-
erything he does well.
Praise your brothers and sis-
ters for everything they do well.
Praise people you employ for
everything they do well.
Praise everybody for every
thing they do to make the world
happier or better.
It is all well enough to practioe
economy in the household, and
saving in the kitchen soon tells
in the expenee oolumn; but the
most important saving in any
household is the saving of the
wife and mother. If no one else
sees the necessity or this branch
of economy, the wife and mother
should make it her business to
save herself, no matter what oth-
er waste occurs.
Our Boy.
“Train up a child in the way he
should go.”
“Don’t send my boy where your
girl can’t go,
And say, ‘There’s no danger for
boys, you know,
Because they all have wild oats
to sow,
There is no more excuse for . my
boy to be low
Than your girl. Then please
don’t tell him so.
Don’t send my boy where your
girl can’t go;
For a boy or a girl, sin is sin,
you know.
And my baby boy’s hands are as
clean and as white,
And his heart as pure as your
girl tonight.
Solomon did not set up one
standard for the boys; he says—
“train up a child.” One child
in the dear home nest is as love-
ly to us as another, and yet there
are but few homes where the boys
are as tenderly shielded as the
girls. We are not quite as care-
ful to watch their daily formation
of habits and their conversation
as we are that of the “girlies.”
They are more hxuberant in
spirit, and we send them out of
the house for the sake of quiet
after that the girls may practice
their musio. And while the lat-

loyal, and the sooner we learn to
say as little Ned, “I have to love
all my kin,” the better will the
world become. The world is but
a large home, and the child who
learns the gospel of love and
loyalty at his mother’s knee, and
practices it among his brothers
and sisters, will carry into the
life of the world a spirit of help-
fulness that will go far toward
destroying selfishness and sin.
Poverty.
“Give me neither poverty nor
riches” is a reasonable prayer.
Poverty is a great curse, despite
all the fine sentiments we hear
about it from people in warm
homes, who are well fed and have
goDd olothes on their backs It
embitters manhood; it saturates
woman’s heart with gall. It be-
gets envy and fretfulness with
one’s lot; it makes men roll fiery
eyes and utter hard speeches on
the good of others, only because
it is not their own. It furrows
the face of beauty with “crow’s
feet,” or the unsoftened lines of
care. It makes its victims hard
hearted, hard faced and quarrel-
some in speech and conduct. It
robs the heart of all refining in
fluences by taking away all
means of culture. It puts in
telectual taste on the treadmill
in quest of bread. “It maketh
even a little ohild with heavy
sighs complain.” It ohains a
man’s nobility to his stomaoh,
which goads him to desperation
by its unappeaBed cravings
Yes, poverty will toughen the
fibres of endurance and bring
kind of grim patience. It will
make our wills more determined
and imperious, but it takes great
graoe to get out of it anything
amiable, tender, loving and hap
py. The soul is not tortured into
goodness.
There are people who miss
good things because they fear
others may be benefitted. Sel-
fishness has its own reward. It
is almost impossible to do a good
thing for ones self without bene-
efitting others. Our course is
to do the best we can, and the
people benefitted, the better for
them and for us.—Farm and
Ranoh. *
If people with symptom* of kidney
or blader trouble could realise their
danger they would without loss of
time commence taking Foley’s Kidney

important byproducts of ed-

blamed for producing another
ineligible.
The most successful schools
are those that are clean, with
well kept playgrounds, and where
the teachers are cooperated with
by the parents. The pictures on
the wall have a part, too, in the
general scheme of the well kept
sohool. Piotures often waken
in the minds of the young a desire
to do better things. We know of
one young man who keeps a
pictureof Chopin in his desk as a
constant reminder that he wishes
to learn only the purest in musio.
The pictures should be selected
with some such end in view, and
the sohool room will seem so
homelike that it will be a pleasure
to attend, and in striving to keep
his desk clean, each pupil will be
absorbing valuable lessons in
neatness and simplicity which
will serve him well in later life.—

You Will Make No Mistake if you
Follow This Pilot Point Citizen’s
Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, uri
nary disorders, dizziness and nervous
ness, it’s time to act and no time to
experiment. These are all symptoms
of kidney trouble, and you should seek
a remedy which is known to cure the
kidneys.
Doan’s Kidney Pills is the remedy to
use. No need to experiment. It has
eured many stubborn cases in Pilot
Point. Follow then dvice of a Pilot
Point citizen and be cured yourself.
Mrs. A. M. Covert, of Pilot Point,
Texas, says: “For over a year I was
bothered by a constant pain across my
back and I could not rest well. After
trying several remedies without re-
lief, I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills ad-
ertised and procured a box from the
Ragland Drug Co. A few doses
benefited me and I continued taking
them until I was able to rest com-
fortably and the lameness in my back
had entirely disappeared. I take
great pleasure in recommending Dean’s
Kidney Pills, as I believe they will
help anyone suffering from kidney
complaint.”

Dieting Does Not
CureIndigestion.
Self Denial by Prescribed Kales
of Health Used to be Con-
sidered a Cure.
Starvation is a strange remedy for
any disease. Yet, starvation by rigor-
ous diet was once generally resorted
to in cases of Indigestion and Dyspep-
sia. Even yet, it Is sometimes tried.
Such a remedy la .worse than useless.
Every day of life consumes a portion
of the tissues of the human body. The
food we eat serves to repair the waste,
and you can’t build up the system by
withholding the material necessary for
these purposes. When you have Dys-
pepsia or Indigestion, or any form of
stomach trouble, take a little Kodol to
help the stomach do Its work.
We say, take Kodol, because It la
the only preparation that will digest
all the food you eat. Every tablespoon-
ful of Kodol digests 2% pounds of
food. It supplies the same digestive
Juices that are found in a healthy,
vigorous stomach. There are other
preparations that are partial digesters,
but what your Btomach needs is com-
plete rest. Kodol Is the only prepara-
tion that will give It. A man Is so con-
stituted that he needs a variety of
foods; to reduce the variety always
produces bad results. In 99 cases out
of 100, Indigestion Is due to lack of
some of the elements which constitute
the natural digestive Juices. Kodol
supplies Just what is needed. Our
Guarantee: Get i\ dollar bottle of Ko-
dol. If you are not benefited—th«
druggist will at once return your
money. Don’t hesitate; any druggist
will soil you Kodol on these terms.
The dollar bottle contains 2% times as
much as the 60c bottle. Kodol Is pre-
pared in the laboratories of E. C. De-
Witt & Co., Chicago.
