Precepts Boys Should Study

From a place at the cobbler's bench
It a mere pittance, William L. Douglas
mas risen to the highest executive po-
sition in the State of Massachusetts,
that of Governor, and has made him
'elf millionaire.
His rules and precepts Of success
we're given recently by him through
the Boston Sunday American. They
are rules that he has tried and tested,
the rules which have elevated him to
the highest position in the gift of the
state, the rules which have won for
him an enormous fortune.
The Governor is interested in boys.
He declares that these rules are given
tor the benefit of boys. Here they
are:
What are the secrets of success?
Will tell the boys of Massachusetts
what l think they are? Recently in
talking to delegation of bright-faced
boys, I told them that they should, in
order to make the most of life, obey
the old maxim, stick to your last"
Everything in nature is fitted to do
one thing we'll and spends it's whole
life doing it. You never hear of the
ant going into the honey-making bust
ness, nor of the bee building ant-hills
for a change. Each one knows it's
place in the world and sticks to it.,
and that is what boys must do if they
would accomplish great things.
And remember always to keep your
ambition up to the top notch. What
ever you do, try to do it better than
the other fellow. At school make it a
point to stand at the head of your
class, and at play don't be satisfied
until you can jump the farthest or
throw the straightest. Then when you

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 3.-(Special)
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsy A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintance
know. They also know she is now
cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her
cure as follows:
II was an invalid for most five years
caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year l could not do as much as a
baby could do, then l rallied a little
bit and then a relapse. Then a year
ago the govt set in my hands and feet.
suffered untold agony and in Au-
gust, 1903, when my husband died l
could not ride to the grave.
II only took two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
I dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodds Kid
ney Pills cured mel.''
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out Of the blood.

KEEP YOUR MIND ON THE DRAFT.
Then You Won't Catch Cold, Says a
Doctor-Just a Matter Of Nerves.

The trolley cold, which is the result
OF exercise followed by a ride in a
street car. is just now easier to catch
than at any other time. Then there
is also the subway cold, produced by
the same causes and just as violent in
it's uncomfortable effects.
Nobody need suffer from either sort
of cold if the testimony of physician
is of any value.
Nobody need catch cold, even in a
draft" he told patient the other day,
so long as he continues conscious of
the fact that there is draft blowing
on him. Just keep that in mind and
there is no danger.
But forget it for a moment and
there is gong to be trouble. Taking
cold is largely matter of nerves, and
any man who follows my advice, sits
tight and thinks of the draft all the
time that it is blowing on him will
escape taking cold"

enter business life this matter of get,
ting ahead will become habit.
Now want to give you another
thing to think about while you're grow
ing up land preparing to win fame and
fortune in the commercial world. It
is this: Don't try to do what you like
do what you can. That's a good
companion-piece for stick to your
last" Don't let the attraction of some
thing you don't know lure you away
from the thing you do know. Once
upon time young man whose faith
er made pickles, and who had learned
the pickle business from A to>Z, de-
cided that he'd like to 60 into the
business of making molasses candy.
He didn't know anything about 1t, but
he liked molasses candy and thought
it would be great fun to make it and
sell it. So he proceeded to try his
hand at the business. The result was
disastrous. His candy wasn't good
candy, because he didn't know how to
make it properly, and, therefore, no
body wanted to buy. Finally he went
back to the pickle business and made
a fortune, because he certainly did
know how to make good pickles, and
everybody bought them.
Do what you can and stick to It,
That's wisdom. About the most strik.
ing sentence l remember is this one,
written by the great philosopher
Thomas Carlyle: "The king is the man
who can" There's whole volume OF

tence-"The king is the man who can.

above all, a woman who has had
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred Thousand cases Of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been 60
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from q woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
tree.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con.
6dence of women. and every testimp-
NAL letter. published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seyde1. of 412 North 54th
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over year agoI wrote you letter asking
advice, as had female ills and could not
carry child to maturity. received your
Kind letter Of instructions and followed your
advice. I am not only well woman in con-
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done so
much for me"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form OF
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia e. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which a druggist may offer.
