The test of time is what tells the

alone will stand the test of tire.
Augusta people appreciate merit, and
many months ago local citizens
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills;
they do so still. Would Il citizen make
tie statement which follows unless
convinced that the article was just as

kind that every sufferer from kidney
ills is looking for.
Mrs. j. S. Jones of 11G Northern

Franklin street in 1896 gentleman

THE ART OF FALLING
What the Gymnast Does When He
Tumbles From a Hiuh place.
NeW YOrl. g.,

New York SIM,
1.-The story that man fell 9oo feet
the other day and didn't burt himself.
is amusing, SAID the director of a gym
nasium, but, cutting all foolishness
out. there was more than a grain of
truth in it. What l mean is that u
man who knows how to fall can fan a
considerable distance without getting
anything more than a bruise or two
THE trouble is that the average man
doesn't know anything about falling
easily. Now, one of the first things
that Symnast, or one who performs
anywhere about the ground. must learn
is just how to avoid serious iniurv in
falls.
Nearly every gymnast tumbles.
sooner or later, but, if you will think it
over the number of professional an,l
amateur performers hurt in a year is
comparatively small The reason for
that is, that they have learned not only
how to avoid falling, but how to pro-
tect themselves when the fall does
come.
Just as an example. l had IL fall
from height of about 20 feet. the other
day, and | got right up from the floor
practically unhurt although | confess
that it shook me up Il good deal more
than | liked. In falling. however. | re-
Taxed my muscles, and as the athletes
say, folded my head into my chest |
struck on the uppermost part of my
back, Just below the neck When any
body is falling that is the part of the
body on which to fall.
Il am not particularly heavy man,
but | am fairly we'll protected by my
muscles. Those on the back of my
that to help me the fall wasn't so ter
rifYing.
'Now, the reason why the ordinary
man is 50 easily hurt in a fall is that he
thinks he must steel himself to the
ordeal as it We're. He comes down,
SPRAYING. with his arms and legs
rigid. Nine times out of ten he either
breaks Il limb or severely sprains Il
muscle That is the wrong way to fall.
If YOU want to see the right Way,
take few lessons from your cat. If
she is Il good, healthy cat with Il good
training, she never jumps or falls as If
she was trying to break Il leg.
Let me sum all this up by saying
must know how to relax his muscles us
wen as distend them. Try i fall and
see if I'm not right

Dear Sir: Three quarter paint" is 4
good phrase for the best outside OF
DcVoc.
Devoe is the Standard; mark it 100
The next best-there are several not
far apart-are threc-quarter paints:
you may mark them - to Devoe's 100
The bulk of the paints in market are
40 or 90 or 60; a few are better thar
60: Il few are worse than 40.
How do they act? They cover from
one to three-quarters as much as
Devoe: and they last from one tc
three quarters as long as Devoe.
What are they worth? The same
rule don't hold; it costs more To put-or
some paints than they are worth: they
are not worth anything; the "put-on'
costs two or three times as much as the
paint.
