The very best part OF ones nature
leads up to life insurance. 1t is doing
something for somebody without hope
of fee or reward. What is before US
none can tell. How long the brain is
to go on planning, the hands executing
none shall say. In this world we do
not live to ourselves-not generally.
We help, if we do not support, some
body else Someone is interested in
our living. Life insurance enables a
man TO 60 on doing after be is dead.
The insurance money takes up the
work of his brains, his hands. 10 his
life he supplied shelter, clothes, food
for others. He dies and leaves behind
the insurance money which supplies
the same things. 1t is very simple
thing, this life insurance. 1t is moth
ing more or less than q society for mu-
tual aid. The strong help the weak.
You can't'tell what Is going to happen
next week or next year. You may
drop out of life and some Que whom
you care for may suffer. You provide
against this chance by insuring. If
you are fortunate and live, your money
helps the unfortunate. This is all
there is OF it. And it is the noblest
scheme yet devised by man for making
a provision for the future. 1t is as
sure az it is simple.-Our Society

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could
not sleep. She finally discovered a
way TO recovery, by purchasing OF Us a
bottle OF DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, and was so much relieved
on taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes w. G.

the subject OF funerals or not. 1t seems
strange that after one has lived IN a

return to heathenism, for that is what
it amounts to when we so far forget
civility and decency as to wish to bury
our dead as we would an animal it is
time to call halt. l for one do not
think that the minister or choir ever
said anything that injured anyone. 1t

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken checked,
distressedlooking people you so often
meet are afflicted with kidney Com
plexion."
Their kidneys are turning to a par
snip color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from slecplessuess. rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex-
haustion and sometimes the heart acts
badly.
The cause in weak, unhealthy kid
neys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until it is too late, because the first
symptoms are so like mild sickness that
they do not think they need a medicine
or docter until they find themselves
sick in bed.

and strengthen their weak and diseas-
ed kidneys. purify their diseased, kid.
