A WORD WITH WOMEN
The Real Cause of Common Aches
and Ills Often Lies in
the Kidneys.

Women are inclined to fall into a
mistaken idea that any pain about
the hips or in the small of the back
must be endured as a trouble pecu-
liar to their sex. Such patience is
noble, but too often unnecessary and
unWisc.
Kidney weakness in man or wo-
mon will cause backache. sharp
twinges when STOPPING or lifting,
bearing down pains, fits of blues,
nervousness, dizzy spells, headaches
and swelling of the ankles or limbs.
The nature of a woman's life and
work makes her fall an easy victim
of kidney sickness; the bending and
STOPPING of housework, the tight
clothing worn, the indoor life. colds,
fevers and constipation all wear and
weaken the kidneys.
Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills,
which have brought new life and
strength to thousands of women. 1t
is your duty to yourself and family
not to neglect nor overlook the first
svmDtOm. Don't wait for a serious
case of diabetes, dropsy, Bright's dis
ease or gravel to develop. No bet
ter remedy than Doan's Kidney
Pills. They permanently cure all
forms of kidney sickness.

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by Vinol

Are Being Cured by Vinol
New Haven, Conn., was troubled
with most persistent chronic cough
for long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that l was discouraged. was
persuaded by my friends to try vi
mol After taking the second bottle,
my cough left me, and I must say I
never felt better in my life. I can al
so recommend Vinol to any one in a
rundown condition as the best posi-
BILE remedy"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the Gods liv-
ers, aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron which makes Vinol so efficient in
curing chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis-at the same time building
up the weakened, rundown system.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the I'M
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

Be A Booster

Do you know there's lot O people

Growlin' like a broccy chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down?

You just be a booster rooster

If some other feller's willin'-
Sail right in, this countrys free
No ones got a mortage on it,
It's just yours as much as his.
If your town is short on boosters
You get in the boostin biz.
If things don't just seem to suit you,
An the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with boostin,
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop a-goin ,
We'd be in sorry plight,
You just keep that horn a-blowin
Boost her up with all your might.
If you see some fellow tryin'
For to make some project 90.
You can boost it up trifie,-
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not a-goin' to knock it.
Just because it amt your shout
But you're going to boost a little,
Cause he's got the the best thing
out"
If you know some feller's failin's.
Just forget 'em cause you know
That same feller's got some good

IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS
knowledge of Gods Love and Power
10 the Supreme Cause for
Thanksgiving.

Abundant harvests, national pros
perity. peace and security under a
government of our own choice-these
are certainly grounds for thanks3lv-
ing in which every citizen can and
should take part But it is quite
possible-in fact it is a common mis-
take-to accentuate these and other
outward blessings in such way as
to make it appear as if. without them.
we would as a nation have little or
no ground for thanksgiving, whereas
the strongest reason for universal
thanksgiving would still remain if
none of these were present.
The knowledge that God loves the
world. that he reigns supreme and
controls all forces, and is overruling
all events to the ultimate overthrow
of everything that is evil and estab-
lishment of absolute righteousness
that is the supreme cause for thanks
giving in as far as the things of this
world are concerned.
But national thanksgiving can nev-
err be anything more than hollow
sham unless the hearts of the wor-
shippers are warmed by personal
gratitude to God for his personal
love and care and protection, and for
the precious and exceeding great
promises which he has given us. No
heart can be truly grateful to God
that has not learned TO trust God and
to see his hand and his love in all
