For many years large department
store has spent thousands of dollars on
placards with which almost every artt-
Gle of merchandise is ticketed through
out the store, and only within a short
time did they realize the amount OF
money that was wasted in using the
white cardboard with black lettering,
These white cards soon become soiled
and shop worn If allowed to remain In
place any length of time. The cards
wN!ch are handled by customers in
bins. trays. etc. are even more so. BY
substituting the black cardboard with
white lettering this store has overcome
this difficulty to very great extent
The show cards are always clean,
fresh and bright looking and they last
many times as long. saving the firm
several hundred dollars in the course
of year.-Business.

Danger In Delay
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dan
gerous For Ellsworth People
to Neglect.

The great danger OF kidney troubles is
that they so often get firm hold before
the sufferer recognizes them. Health will
be gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
gravel and Brighi's disea.e may follow as
the kidneys get worse, Don't neglect
your kidneys. Help the kidneys with
Doan's Kidney Pills, which are so
strongly recommended right here in Ellis
worth.
f. ]. Clark, Surry Road, Ellsworth, Ne,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly
an effectivelkidpey medicine, and cannot
recommend them too strongly. Some
years ago ! was annoyed by attacks OF
kidney complaint. There were sharp,
shooting pains across the small OF my
back andlthe kidney secretions were ir-
regular in passage. Deans Kidney Pills
had been recommended to me, and
aually began using them. | could soon
see that they. were helping me and / con-

What beautiful winter days we are having
of late and it seem to me that everyone ought
to appreciate them. have been housed for a
few weeks with cold, but am glad to tell
you that am nicely now. There has been SO
much sickness everywhere this winter, owing
partly to so much bare ground. / just love
to see a blanket Of snow in its season. Hope
all the sick ones among you are improving.
Must tell you that had such a beautiful
hyacinth brought to me all in blossom. And
it is SO fragrant How nice it is to have kind
friends! lady once said to me: II often feel
that have not a friend in the world" And
said; why, If felt that way, it does not
seem as If l should want to live another day"
This value of true friendship cannot be pur-
chased at any price.
How nice all your suggestions have been
this winter. Thanks to all the new ones for
the many helps. Hope there will be many
more this year added to our ranks.
Meo, wish you could send us that recipe
for your hair tonic. as there are many who are
in need of it. Hope you viii be lucky enough
to sell as soon as possible, so you can come to
Maine. sometimes think it is about as good
place as any, after all.
l am sending you all a creed for the New
Year, as I think it fine. With best wishes
to all. AUNT EMMA.

Dear ~. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. b. Friends:
The above is the creed sent by Aunt
Emma. 1t includes everything that
would make life full and complete. II nc
one of us can adopt it all, perhaps we can
select some special part or parts OF it TO
work into our lives and to take with US
day by day. The "hopefuI and helpful"
of it of course belong to all the NJ. BIS,
and Aunt Msdge herself beholds vision
in the last four lines which she hopes to
ace realized.
Do as have done; read the creed over
several times. Is there anything in it to
which We cannot subscribe? Surely not.
Now we all advocate cheerfulness and
hope. What do you all think of having

losses and disappointments?

CREED FOR THE YEAR.
To be earnest; to be strong;
To make light the way with song;
Slow to anger; quick to praise;
Walking steadfast through the days;
Firm of purpose, sure of soul,
Pressing onward to the goal;
Upright, even, undismayed,
Sure, serene and unafraid.
To be patient: to be kind;
To be purposeful, and find
Sweetness all along the way;
Loath to Judge, but firm TO say
Truth with unreienting tongue;
BY no cavii veered or swung
From the right; and to endure
Hopeful, helpful, clean and pure.
To be gentle; to forgive;
True to life and glad to live;
To be watchful, and to be
Rich with boandiess charity;
To be humble in success.
Strong of heart in bitterness,
Tender, gracious, thoughtful, good,
In our man-and- womaanood.
To be smiling; to be glad
For the yesterdays we've had;
To be grateful all the way
For the beauties of to-day;
To be hopeful, and to see
In the days that are to be
Bigger, better, broader things,
Robes of purple, crowns of kings!

I am very glad that the Christian
Endeavor society has taken up the
work of urging total abstinence. There
Is no doubt that the organized effort
that the society will put forth will re-
suit in securing hundreds of thousands,
II not millions. of signers, and that
means very perceptible decrease In
the total amount of liquor consumed
and a very considerable increase In the
strength of the temperance sentiment
Of the country. One cannot do much
to encourage total abstinence so long
as he drinks himself. The moment ne
becomes enlisted under the banner of
total abstinence his influence becomes
a factor in the spread of temperance

PULLING an Elephants Tooth.

Perhaps the greatest dental operation
on record was performed upon an eie-
plant in the City OF Mexico. The ach-
ing tooth was twelve inches long and
measured fourteen inches round the
root. After the animal had been Sc
curely fasten with chains his mouth
was pried open and quantity Of CO.
caine applied to deaden the pain.
When this was done hole was bored
through the tooth and an iron bar In
serted. Then a rope was twisted
around the bar, ak.i four horses were
attached thereto to drag the offending
molar out.-London Tit-Bits.
