Valley City Readers Should Learn t
Keep the Kidneys Well.

The kidneys have a big work to do
All the blood in the body 10 ~vu.o4-.g
through the kidneys constantly to be
freed of poisonous matter. 1t is a
heavy enough task when the kidneys
are well,but cold, chill, fever, or
some thoughtless exposure is likely
to irritate, inflame and congest the
kidneys and interrupt the purifying
work.
Then the aching frequently begins
and is often accompanied by some ir-
regularity of the urine-too frequent
passages, sediment or retention. Thou
sands testify to the wondelAu4 -..~.'t
of Doan's Kidney Pills, a remedy for
the kidneys only, that has been used
in kidney troubles so years. You will
make no mistake in following this
Valley City citizens advice.

Ave-, Valley City, N. D., says: 1--WE

the only kidney remedy we use in our

Tonight will be a good time to tell
them about my New Years resolu-
ton
The cozy little dinner party was over.
Sister Madge and Phil-"Hub" she
patronizingly called him-were some
where out in the back Of the house.
They had left Roger and his old chum
Betty alone tete-a-tete in the dimly
lit parlor
How that girl had grown and "im-
proved" during these five years that
Roger hadn't seen her! Why, she had
developed into positive little peach!
What a sensation she would make at
one of the club dances!
She hadn't forgotten about their old
days together, either-recalled lots of
little childish intimacies that had
slipped even Rogers memory. Why,
those fuzzy little tendrils of hair curl
ing at the nape of her neck were posi-.

The following New Year wish
Is ascribed to Goethe.

Health enough to make work a
pleasure.
Wealth enough to support your
needs.
Strength enough to battle with
difficulties and overcome them.
Grace enough to confess your sins
and forsake them.
Patience enough to toll until some
good is accomplished.
Charity enough that shall see
some good in your neighbor.
Cheerfulness enough that shall
make others glad.
Love enough that shall move you
TO be useful and helpful to others.
Faith that shall make real the
things of God.
And hope that shall remove all
anxious fears concerning the future.

QUAINT SOLDIER CEREMONY
How Crack Scotch Regiment, the Sea-
forth HighIanders, Ushers in
the New Year.

The Seaforth Highlanders, one of
Scotland's crack regiments now at the
front, have one of the most peculiar
New Years eve customs of the whole
British army. The ceremony is pic
turesque and imposing.
On the night of Hogmanay, at about
1890 o'clock, the regiment assem-
bles in the barrack square, A few
minutes later the oldest soldier in the
battalion, dressed as a Druid, makes
his appearance, to the accompani-

calls on the veterans to show their
uniforms and achievements of bygone
times. To the music of the pipes and
brass band veteran after veteran, ar

past and salutes the Druid. The Druid

answer.

The gate is then opened and the
youngest boy of the battalion enters,
dressed as the high chief of ancient
Ross, to represent the New Year. The
colonel shakes hands with the boy,
while the band strikes up, "a Guild

After the colonel's greeting to the
battalion the national anthem is
played and the men fall out.

NEW YEARS DAY IN CHINA
Occasion When Whole Country Is
Painted Red-Time When All
Debts Must Be Settled.

New Year is the national payday in
China All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such It the creditor can en-
ter the debtors ouse and take what
he pleases if th> . is no settlement.
To prevent such Lotion families club
together and make all sorts of COM
promises to keep up the business rep
utatiOn of the clan. New Year is a
great day for the pawnbrOkers; their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes be-
fore the New Year. There are crowds,
also, who want to pawn other things
in order to get money to pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest, in which they are protect
ed by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole coun-
try red, figuratively speaking, on New
Years day, in more senses than one.
Red Is the color which with them de-
notes good luck and prosperity, and
all the New Year cards and invita-
lions are on paper of that color Every
child gets its New Years present
wrapped in red paper, and red inscrip-
lions are pasted over the doors Of
the houses. These inscriptions bear
characters praying for good fortune,
wealth and happiness, and they are
posted on each side of the outer door
of the houses. New pictures Of Chi
nese generals are put on the front
doors and the houses are secured and
made clean.-Philadelph Inquirer.

When the Worlds All New.

1t is the same old world that we
greeted on New Years morning But
somehow it looked so different. The
invisible dividing line between last
year and this has made possible a
new angle of vision. The grip of old
passions seems to have lost it's hold
and a new purpose, partly old, partly
new, throbs for recognition. A gen.
tleness appears in faces thought to
be hard and cynical. Happiness
sparkles in the eyes of sad and lonely
folk. A sort of introduction is need
&c to oneself. For the dawn of the
new year makes possible a fresh at
tack on the age-weary problems,
another attempt to produce the best
instead of the good, and new walk
down by-ways of human experience
where one may be a good Samaritan
with no eye but his to see and
understand The world is all new on
New Years morning - my world,
your world, our world-to make over
for the Kingdom. - Ralph Welles
Keeler.

NEW YEAR "NEVER AGAINS"
Suggestions for Husbands, Wives and
All Lovers, Married or Single,
That Are Timely.

If you haven't thought up any, here
are few timely suggestions:
For hubby: Never again to spend
moment out of the presence of the
wife unaccompanied by trustworthy
guardian appointed by her, who will
report faithfully all of your doirgs,
even to the irregular culver of an eye
lash, or the drinking of soda instead
of buttermilk.
Never again to be such a brute as
to want to stay at home when the
wife wishes to go out, or to wish to
go out-by yourself-when wife de-
sires you to stay at home in the bOs-
ON of your family.
Never again to growl, grumble or
swear, or pretend to be asleep when
the wife pokes you in the back and
asks you to walk with the baby in
the middle Of the night.
Never again to threaten to forbid
tradespeople to allow the wife credit
if she and the girls do not cease their
extravagance-when the monthly bills
come in.
Never again to forget to peck wife
on the cheek upon leaving her in the
morning and coming home at night,
to tell her that her frightful new bon
net is a perfect gem, and that her
"fourteen-year-old" short dress is al.
together too old-looking for her youth
full figure.
For wife: Never again to make
biscuit for breakfast until you have
tried them on your own digestion for
few weeks in the absence Of the
rest OF the family
Never again to notice pa exchang.
ing glances with the pretty girl across
the aisle all the way downtown.
Never again to keep the lights
turned on when pa has been detained
downtown "on business in order to
see what time he gets home. or to
insist on his kissing you that you may
smell his breath.
Never again to come to the table
with hair in crimpers and wearing a
soiled kimono.
Never again to subject pa to spells
Of lachrymose reproaches, telling him
that he doesn't love you any more.
For lovers, married or single: Never
to miss an opportunity to tell the dear
old story over and over again.
Never to lose the coquettish elu-
siveness that makes lovers so delight
full to each other.
Never again to spend the sweets of
young lover souls in cheap f1irtations
when there is such world of real
happiness at your command.
Never to become insensible to the
delicious tremblings and futterings of
your own heart, or to become lax In
all of those lovely attentions and CIV
ings that help to keep a keen response
a-thrill in the heart of the beloved.

of failure and success, of love and
hate. And now, the first day of the

Their Resolutions

They were young as April as they
pressed close to a window full of Won
derful CONNECTIONS.
What bad habits are you going to
give up this New Year, he asked.
You she answered briefly; what
bad habits are you going to give up"
Letting you have your own way"
he responded firmly, so our engage
ment stands"
Very well, then. go in and buy me
that heart-shaped box of candy" And
both New Year resolutions went the
way of their kind.
