Learn to attend strictly to your own

Learn 10 keep your own troubles 10
yourself The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to greet your friends with a

under pleasant smile. No one cares
whether you have the earache. head
ache or rheumatism.

Letters from
Women

Cured by the use of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-
ton or other stomach disorder.
If the food you eat fails to give strength
to your body, it is because the juices Sc
creted by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrient prop
critics of the food into blood. That is
indigestion. The system is deprived OF the
amount of nourishment required to keep up
the strength, and the result is that one OF
more Of the delicate organs gradually grows
weak, and then weaker, until finally it is
diseased. Here a great mistake is made.
That of treating the diseased organ. Inc
best doctors in the land make this very
mistake. Why should they :? 1t is SO easy
to see that the trouble is not there.

The Old Mission Bells.

Up on the grand Sierras the shadows
come and go,
And the bells of old San Gabriel are
ringing here below,
In the footsteps of the padres we pause,
and family trace
Their footsteps in the valley, as the
went from place TO place.
We see the sanity Sierra, tired and
worn and pale,
Treading the narrow pathway on the
old Mission trail.
Unmindful of the chadows, or 0f The
MONDAY heat,
He plods along the valley, oft wound
ing weary feet.
And the mystic .night comes stealing
as the padre wends his way.
A warm dusk hide the valley. the
mountain peaks are gray.
We pause to gaze for little space over
this hallowed, sacred place;
And the bells ring our. as the sun goes
down, over the foothills, bare and
brown.
The crimson flush has faded from
Sierras massive brow,
And the sweet tones of the Angelus are
softly ringing now.
We recall the days of romance, of
Spanish song and tale,
AS the bells of Did San Gabriel ring out
across the vale.
We see ethe gay sonora and Spanish
maiden fair.
And the naughty senorita, with bios
SONS in her hair,
And sweeping down the hillside comes
a stately cavalcade.
The air is filled with perfume, as the
orange blossoms fade,
And the bells sweet music, mystic
floats in from the silent past,
And in the twilight shadows blends
softly with the blast,
The radiant light has vanished over the
mountains gray;
And the bells of old San Gabriel toll
out the parting day.
