THE GAME OF LIFE.
SUpt. John Deacon, of the
Brick Yard, Tells Some
thing About the
Struggle.

A good nights rest. That's the Sc
cret of longevity, work we'll during the
day, and rest well at night, and sue
cess is yours in life.. But without the
good nights sleep life is full of worry
and discomfort wand pain. Busy men
know this and so do busy women.
There's but one thing, TO do. If you
can't rest we'll at night learn the rea-
son. Some part of the human machine
is out of order and out of order Here's
the experience of well-known citizen
who got at the root of his troubles.
John Deacon, superintendent of the
Adams Bros. q Payne Brick yards,
and who lives ON Walnut street, says;
81 was a sufferer from backache and
pains through my loins and over the
kidneys for period of two years. The
pain was so bad at times that | could
not stoop and mornings l had to roll
ont of bed. did not rest comfortably
at night and arose more tired than
when / went TO bed The kidney Sc
cretions were irregular and al times
very scant. / tried several remedies
but they gave me little relief. Finally
l procured Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Patton Drug Co. s store and found
that they were just what required.
They drove away the backache and
put my kidneys in their normal condi
tion. To speak of the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills in such terms of praise as
they deserve might seem extravagant
to others who have not used them"

DO You Know What You Eatg

If you don't your food does not do you
much good. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is
the remedy that everyone should take
when there is anything wrong with the
stomach. There is no way to maintain
the health and strength of mind and
body except by nourishment. There
is no way to nourish except through
the stomach. The stomach must be
kept healthy, pure and sweet, or the
strength will let down and disease will
set up. No appetite, loss of strength,
nervousness, headache, constipation,
bad breath, sour risings, rifting, indi
gestion, dyspepsia, and all stomach
troubles are quickly cured by the ust
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. Sold by Fl

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont,
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping up
on his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's Col.
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about in great ag
ony, and in few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect of the med
icine was soon noticed and within al
hour the patient was taking his frs
sound sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked q complete cure,

LIFE.

The poets exclamation, 30 Life /
feel thee bounding in my veins, " is a
Joyous one. Persons that can rarely or
never make it, N honesty to themselves,
are among the most unfortunate. They
do not live, but exist; for to live i'm
plies more than to be. TO live is to be
we'll and strong-to arise feeling equal
to the ordinary duties of the day, and
to retire not overcome by them-t to feel
life bounding in the veins. A medi-
cine that has made thousands of people
men and women, we'll and strong, has
accomplished great work, bestowing
the richest blessings, and that medi-
cine is Hoods Sarsaparilla. The weak,
rundown, or debilitated, from any
cause, should not fail to take it. 1t
builds up the whole system, changes
existence into life, and makes life more
abounding. We are glad to say these
words in its favor to the readers of our
columns.

The Hygiene of Old Age,

We look upon the aged with good
reason as having q slender hold upon
life, one that may be loosened by
slight shock of injury or disease which,
in the young or middle-aged, would
serve only as q stimulus to the repara-
tive vital powers. This is o conserva-
tive belief, but 1t warns us to shield
our loved ones who have fought the
fight from all influences which might
shorten their stay with US. But we
must not go too far in our solicitude.
for injury may be inflicted and life
shortened by coddling the old, almost
as surely as by coddling the young.
The vital processes in the aged are slow
but they are still existen, and they may
be kept active by gentle opposition and
stimulation, just as they may be in
creased in childhood and youth by
rough methods. DIR. Caldwell's Syrup
of Pepsin and Herb Laxative Compound
is boon to the aged and infirm, and
probably no medicine has accomplished
so much or received as high or as many
Endorsements from men and women
whose extreme age gives them q seem
ingly slender hold upon life. DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin makes perfect di-
gestion and acts gently upon the bowels
in an easy and pleasant manner. Tones
up the entire system and prolongs life.
