For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke. Me, April "a
Mrs. A. l.. Smith, of this place. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In a month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites of
her eyes would be yellow.
The doctors gave us no encourage
ment. they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. or course. we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about a dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally. when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing. they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure healthy, happy
future for them.

Teaching Patriotism to Youth.

TO instill into the public school pupils
a spirit of healthy patriotism. In
many of the States compulsory flag
laws have been enacted. compelling
each public school to own and to dis.
ply during school hours or at desig.
mated times, an American flag. New
Mexico has fallen in line by enacting
a compulsory flag law. and requiring
a daily salute to the flag. The salute
will be in the following form: The
pupils stand facing the flag in the at.
titude of a military salute and recite
in concert: Il pledge allegiance to
my flag and to the republic for which
it stands. one nation indivisble, with
liberty and justice for all."-Santa Fe
