Highest Good In Life.

The highest good is found in the
way of doing good, giving what we
have, our best selves, to others. Let
man seek efficiency in his business.
let him seek leadership in his profes.
sion. let him seek enriching some
other lives. This is the myrrh that
preserves to us all that we gain and
perfumes all. while selfishness is the

Thousands Of men and women who

know that it is one of the easiest af-
flictions Of the human body to con-
Quer. Medical science has proven it
not distinct disease in itself, but q
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products of the sys-
tenn which should be filtered and
strained out in the form of urine. The
function of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however, are of sponge-like substance,
the holes or pores Of which will some.
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged, and falling
in their function of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain
In the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain of rheu-
matism and backache, often producing
complications of bladder and urinary
disease, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription IL
said to relieve the worst cases Of
rheumatism because Of its direct &C.
ton upon the blood and kidneys, re-
lieving, too, the most severe forms of
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot.
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The in
gradients can be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy. and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time.

And by the way he said it l saw at

HUSBANDS IN WAITING.

Why should any woman be without
a husband when by the expenditure OF
a small amount of money she can be
put In the way of having one or many?
At least, the experience of Chicago
woman goes to show that potential
husbands are waiting on every other
corner ready to be gathered In by any
enterprising lady who happens along.

woman has to do" she says, rs to
Join a matrimonial agency" adding,
II am member of three myself and
a life member of one" She Is men,
Der of three because her fastidious
taste leads her to become easily dis
satisfied with the prizes she secures,
and her sudden appearance in the
limelight is due to the fact that she
acquired several without the prelimi-
nary Of getting divorced from any, and
the fourth one in number for the year
1910 was unkind enough to enter a
protest. 1t is not, Of course, advisable
to follow the course of the Chicago
woman In taking husbands simultan-
eously; 1t is we'll to be off with the old
love before being on with the new, at
least legally; but the Chicago wom-
ans experience goes to show that men
are not the elusive creatures that
some suppose, but that more or less
eligible specimens are within the
reach of any lonely lady willing to
take a moderate amount Of trouble
and to expend a small sum in postage
stamps. In short, women who wish to
marry and have been unable to do so
because Of the apparent shyness Of
men nearest at hand should cheer up.

Remarkable Score at Hunters
Rest.

In looking over the scores that were
made last Sunday by the members of
Hunters Club we noticed that one of
the best marksmen, Charles Hauen-
stein, registered the lowest score. We
are not in the habit of making re-
marks on the scores of the members,
but in this instance we fell justified in
doing so, inasmuch as MIR. Hauenstein
is usually at the head of his class.
We know of no other reason than the
one given by several members of the
club to the effect that Charles was
very anxious to wear the big leather
medal himself which he bought when
in ST. Paul lastweek This is a par
donable pride and a self-denial on the
part of Mr.. Hauenstein worthy of imi-
tation. -..
It is beyond question that next Sun
day the much envied leather medal
will change owner and we will be more
than pleased to record in our next
issue the fact that Mr.. Hauenstein has
won the gold medal. The score of last
