Weak Kidneys Make Weak
Bodies
Kidney Diseases Cause Half The
Common Aches And Ills of
Bedding People

AS one weak link weakens chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the who lie
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poisoning circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and urinary ills
come, and there is an ever increasing
tendency towards diabetes and fatal
Bright's disease. There is no real help
except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney ill.
Bedding cures are the proof.

A "'Pained Correspondent wants to
know who and what Buddha was that
he should be mentioned in connection
with Christ.
who, before Christ" asks this panied
person, ever exhibited such mercy and
love for man or taught that forgiveness
and love should be shown our enemies?
Did Buddha ever speak such words as
Father. forgive them; they know not
what they dor"
For the education Of the inquirer I am
happy to be able to give some historic
facts concerning Gautama Buddha-
Owing to the highly intellectual stratum
which has always been the underlying
force in India, the story Of Budddha's
life Is much more authentic than the
early life of our own great Master. Jesus
Christ, although he lived six hundred
years earlier. Gautama Buddha was
the son OF a high caste raJah, and there
fore a prince. He was the only child Of
his parents, and his mother died shortly
after giving him birth.
The ancient literature OF his land con-
tains the story Of his mother having
been told by an angel that she was to
give birth to a god-child. and in the
main the tale is almost Identical with
that Of the immaculate conception OF
Christ.
In fact, these supernatural stories have
attended the birth of all the great mas
ters and spiritual leaders.
However. the young lad was reared by
his father as a prince, and It was not
until wealth, power and all earthly hap
piness had been laid at his feet that
he began to develop his Unsuitable long
ing for Gods truth.
He gave up home, family. power. and
wealth and went into the desert places
to pray and mediate. India had de-
generated from the pure religion taught
by those most wonderful Of all books. the
Vedas, and idol worship and sacrifices
and modification OF the body were the
prevailing customs when Gautama began
his studies.
What Buddha Taught.
All the methods Of fasting and morti-
fcation he tested. and all he discarded
as useless He summed up the religion
necessary to salvation in the following
words:
To cease from all wrong g-doing;
To get virtue;
To cleanse ones own heart
This is the religion OF the Buddhas"
He also formulated the ''Eight-fold
Path to Righteousness

that little gift they intended to buy

STORY OF MILES STANDISH
ANDPRISCILLA ALLFICTION
In His Lecture on plymouth and the Pilgrim" the
Rev. w. w. Dornan Declares that the Doughty
Captain" Never Loved or Pretended to
Love the Puritan Maiden

in his lecture, was elected captain of
the colony in February, 1921.
His relations with Priscilla MoIines,
or Mullins, were only in the mind of
our beloved poet, Longfellow. It was
poets license, but II has fixed erro-
neous ideas that many imagine to be
history.
One of the most beautiful romances
in tradition is that which has been i'm
mortalized by Longfellow in the poem,
The Courtship of Miles Standish.' There
is no history to confirm the thought
that Standish ever thought Of the beau
tiful Puritan maiden.
If he ever thought of marrying
again after the death of his wife,
Rose, his thought went out to England
to sister OF Rose, who dwelt there.
John Alden courted Priscilla, but
while he did he was not speaking for
the doughty warrior but was in real
tty speaking for himself. 1t was all a
pretty little theory worked out by our be-
loved poet, but there is nothing to IT."
This blow at tradition, delivered in
Plymouth itself. shocked the commu-
nifty, nor is the worst yet told, for the
shatterer of our beloved illusions did
not stop with Longfellows story of
Miles Standish's love for the Puritan
girl. but went on to tell US that we are
all wrong about the date of the landing
of our Pilgrim Fathers, which he de-
clares was December 21 instead of De-
cember %, the mistake being made be-
cause the people who figured out the
date didn't know how to figure the diff
ference between the old style and the
new style.
Soon ConsoIed for Loss of Wives.
Another thing upon which Mr.. Dor
nan disillusioned hts audience was the
undying faithfulness which we attrib-
ute to our Pilgrim Fathers, declaring
that, as a matter of fact, their wives
were hardly cold in their graves before
they took unto themselves others.
This iconOclastic lecture of the Rev.
w. w. Dornan, coming as 1t does on
the eve of Thanksgiving. when the
thoughts of the American people turn
to our forbears who in
stituted this feast day for the express
sion of gratitude to their Creator for
His manifold mercies to them, is
fraught with special significance and
interest.
But it will bring a pang of regret to |
the heart of every woman who has
cherished the romance of Miles Stand |
ish and Priscilla through all these
years.
