VACATION TIME.

To country lanes the toiler beats his way from dismal city streets. To country lanes. where bud and sprout the kind of flowers you read about, and fat red birds sit round and sing. and humble bees and hornets sting. The modest cottage on the farm for city guys e1erts a charm; through all our grinding days of toll. we're yearn- ing for the virgin soil, the bucket hanging in the well, the johnnie-jump- ups in the dell, the humble meal of Tread and milk, the grapes, and honey fine as silk. And when We reach the farmers cot-the Mecca of our yearn- ing thought, the Honest Farmer feeds us beans, and moldy prunes and can ned Sardines, and rank bologna ship ped from town, denatured milk to wash 1t down. The moSs-grown buc- ket in the well, the johnnie-jump-ups in the dell, are visions of a fevered brain; the fat red birds are all in- sane; the milk, the honey and the grapes, are nothing more than phan- tom shapes; the only time We feel a ,h:'ll is when the host hands In his bill. And so the guys come back to town. sad. but resolved tn live it down.-WAlt Mason.

WHAT'S THE USE?

Did it ever occur to you that this Is a funny world. and that mans life is full of crosses? He comes into this world without his consent; he goes out of It against his will, and the trip between Is usually pretty rotten sailing. The rule of contraries and disagreements is one of the big features of the trip.
 When he is little the big girls kiss him, and when he is big the little girls kiss him.
 If he Is poor he is a bad manager, and if he is rich he is dishonest.
 If he needs credit he cant get 1t. but if he is prosperous and doesn't need 1t. every one wants to do him 8 favor.
 If he Is in politics it Is for graft, and if he is out of politics he Is of no use to the country.
 If he doesn't give to charity he is stingy cusS, and if he does it Is simply for show.
 If he Is actively religious he Is a hypocrite, and If he takes no interest .n religion he is a hardened sinner, an A. P. A.
 If he is given to affection he is soft. and if he does not he is cold blooded.
 If he drinks he is going to the bad. and if he doesn't he is big stiff
 If he talks little 1t is because of lack of ideas, and if he talks much he Is an agitator and a dissentor.
 If he dies young there was a great future for him. and if he lived to an old age he missd his calling.
 If you save money you're a grouch and a tight.fist, but if you spend it you're a loafer and bum.
 If you get it you're a grafter, and it you don't get 1t you have no bus. ihess head. So. what's the use, any. way?- .EX.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their unceasIns Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

SITONg
 All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the! blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily. when un' healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain In the back, headache, nervous ness. hot, dry skin., rheumatism, gout. gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart' debility, drowsiness, dropsy. deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no troupie with your kidneys. t
 w. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement l gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from their use has proven permanent. l suffered from an acute attack of kidney trou- tIe and though I used remedy after remedy, I was unable to find relief l had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secreuons. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me at once and continue use entirely relieved me. l am a great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and have recommended them on many occasions"

Consider then what the Goldfeid

The display Oh mine products can
not be other tnan convincing. In fact
it is safe to predict that the expec-

likely to be surpassed. These men
