WORK WEAKENs THE KIDNEYS.
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work
in Abilene.

Most Abilene people work every
day in some strained, unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over a desk
on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious homework; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the
back in q hundred and one other
ways. All these strains tend to wear,
weaken and injure the kidneys until
they fall behind in their work Of
filtering the poisons from the blood.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys,
put new strength in bad backs. Abb
lene cures prove it.

time you sell yourself for a few dol

How few the real heroes that are
crowned these days. How little OF
earned applause the deserving get.
Real heroes we see every day on the
street. But thy walk about unno-
ticed and their glories are unknown
and unsung How about the father
who lives with, his heart running
over with grief over q hayward son.
How he tolls and sacrifices the earn
ings of years to harvest the crop Of
wild oats the heartless one insists on
sowing. How about the fond mother
who wastes her strength to sustain
life In her home. You know Of these
mothers who cit beside the sickbed
and fan fevered brows throughout
the long night until the sun grows
red in the east. They do not ask
that laurel wreath be placed on their
brows, nor that granite monuments
be erected to their memory. They
do not regret the wasted strength
and furrOwed cheeks that have come
do not mourn the gratitude that is
often 80 sadly lacking for the saeri-
fees they have made. The world
would Be brighter Il we could only
remember more often that peace
hath ils heroes no less renowned
