WAYSIDE WISDOM

Nothing looks cheaper than a
cheap hotel.
II is faithful friends whom pros
pretty will not ALLEVIATE.
No woman complains because
her beauty Is only skin deep.
II often happens that the quest
Of gold leads to the land Of guilt.
Few people are so bad as the
character Of their friends would
lead you to suspect. =,
Somehow a man never believes
his sweetheart Is as much Of girl
az his skaters are.
There Is only one thing worse
than the bitter woman, that is the
woman who Is too sweet.
We are so busy asking Life to
give us more that we have't time
to ask her to let US keep the things
we have.--St. Louis Times.

CALL AMERICANS UNCIVIL|zED

If you were to travel through
Asia you would find that we are
regarded as the peculiar persons.
Have you heard of the Chinese
man who travelled through out
the United States AMI wrote a
letter back to his friends describ-
ing US? He said:
"You cannot civilize these
Americans. They are beyond re-
demption. They will 60 weeks
and months without touching
a mouthful of rice, but they eat
flesh of bullocks and sheep in
enormous quantities. Nor do they
eat their meat cooked in small
pieces. 1t is carried in to the
room in large chunks. often half
raw, and then they cut and slash
and tear it apart. They eat with
knives and prongs; it makes a
civilized being perfectly nervous.
One fancies himself in the pres
ence of sword swallower.
"They have no sense of dignity,
for they may be found walking
with women. They even sit down
at the same table with women, and
the latter are served first. Yet
the women are to be piticd, too.
On festive occasions, which Amer.
leans call balls, they are dragged
around room to the accompani-
ment to the most he'lidsh music"

Lnurcns Drug Co. has Remedy That
They Guarantee to Promptly Relieve
All Stomach Distress

People go on suffering from little
stomach troubles for years and imag-
me they have serious disease. They
oVer-eat or over-drink and force on
the stomach lot of extra work, but
they never think that the stomach
needs extra help to do the extra work
If these people would take Blood
Inc with or after meals, it would be a
great big help to the stomach in its
strain of over-work. No matter what
you eat or drink, Bloodine will sweet
en- your sour stomach and stop gas
belching in five minutes. The heaviness
disappears. and the stomach is great
ly aided III its work of digestion.
Bloodine not only promptly relieves
all distress, but If taken regularly will
absolutely cure Indigestion by build
ing up the fabby, overworked walls
of the stomach and make them strong
enough to digest the most hearty
meal.
Laurens Drug Co. sells and guaran-
tees Bloodine. The price is 80 cents
large bottle. Test sample free for ten
cents to pay postage from the Blood
inc Corporation, Boston, Mass.
