SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND
Jew outwitted Russian Guard by Iml-
tation That Must Have Been
Remarkable.

Aaron Seidentaft is a clever fellow.
as you may understand when you learn
how his quick wit recently brought
him safely out of a situation Of the
utmost peril. Aaron desired to visit
Russia. but he had no passport. He
said to his friend Mendel:
you have a passport; I'll get into
a big bag and you shall carry me
across the border. If the frontier
guard asks you to put the bag down,
you'll say you can't because there's
glass in 1t and 1t will break"
Mendel was obliging. He ~shouldered
the bag with Seidentaft in it and APP
preached the boundary. The frontier
guard asked what was in the bag and
Mendel answered, Glass" Thereupon
the soldier drew his sword and a it
through the bag. 1t might easily have
gone very hard with Steidentaft If he
had forgotten his role and cried out.
But he didn't. Instead he made a
noise like this: Killing, klang." And
SO he got alive into Russia.
He often relates his adventure and
he always adds: when one is labeled
glass, one must behave like glass;

The daily cares of keeping house
and bringing up a family are hard
enough for a healthy woman. The
tired, weak mother who struggles
from morn to night with a lame, ach.
ing back is carrying a heavy burden.
Many women believe that urinary
disorders and backache are female
troubles" and must be endured. But
men suffer the same aches and trou-
bles when the kidneys are sick.
Women are especially subject to kid
ney disease. Tight clothing, indoor
work, the ordeals Of childbirth, the
worry, and the STOPPING, straining and
striving of homework all help to bring
1t on. At first the trouble may be only
backache, sick headache, dizziness
and a drowsy, dull languid feeling, but
this condition is dangerous to neglect,
for dropsy, gravel and deadly Bright's
disease start in some such small way.
Don't be discouraged. When back
ache, nervousness and irregular or
painful passages of the kidney secre-
tons begin to bother you, use Doan's
Kidney Pills, the remedy that has
brought new life and strength to thou
