Seventy-five years of age but hale
and hearty is Mr.. Jerome X. Four

ask the secret of his splendid health

strongly recommending the Great
American Kidney Remedy, Mr.. Four
uier related the following experience:
II recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills
because they cured me of Diabetes.
l suffered with my kidneys for long
time and suffered terribly from those
Urinary Troubles that are SO general
among aged people.
Then l started to use Dodd's Kid.

young because they make sound

HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS.

Sc Interested in Them, but Never
Show Curiosity.
If you would have friends, be inter
ested in them.
There is a difference between inter
est and curiosity. Never be curious.
Interest asks nothing, but is glad
of others joys and sorry for others
misfortures. Curiosity seeks to find
more than is written upon the surface,
seeks it for the purpose of distribu-
ton, for innocent SANDER.
Ones friends like one to be inter
ested. They detest one who is curl
GUS.
To be interested in those one meets
needs but to wish them we'll.
To see the best of those about us
will cause us to wish them well.
To our well-wishers we pour out our
joys and sorrows. They are interest.
ed. They understand.
The interested friend always under
stands. The curious acquaintance
never sees through motives. The curl
GUS one is blinded by his own inter-
probation of causes and his prejudiced
view of results.
Don't. therefore, seek to know what
is hidden. 1t your friends conceals
something from you he has reason
for doing it. Prove your interest and
your lack of vulgar curiosity by trust
ing him in spite of the concealment.
Those who are truly interested
and never curious are surrounded by
friends--DetrOit Tribune.

which confined her and escaped into
the forest.
One night, about ten days after her
escape, the officer who had been in
charge of her went out to lie in wait
for bears at a pond in jungle at
some distance.
AS he and his native attendant were
returning, early in the morning, the
native silently nudged him, and they
saw in the dim, gray light an elephant
with her calf making their way
toward the camp. They both sprang
behind trees, and when the elephants
had passed the native insisted that
the older one was their old friend,
the inconsolable mother.
When they reached the camp they
found that the truant had returned,
