INTENSE SUFFERING

Sixteen years ago I was taken sick
with Kidney trouble and suffered ter
ribly for three months. l did not
work during this time and was most
ly confined to the bed. After using
other remedies 1 finally tried bottle

gan to feel better, and after using
seven 50-cent bottles was entirely
cured and have had no Kidney troub-
lie since I can truly say that I owe
my good health to Swamp-Root. You
may publish this letter for the bene-
fit of other people afflicted as I was

Why the Story Telling Hour of
the Dawson Public Library?
Contributed to The Dawson New

to The Dawson News.
When we older people consider this
we realize that the supreme thing is
the development of sound character,
and those who study the genesis OF
such things tell us that character
grows out of the habits of the indl-
vidual; that habits come from ac-
tons repeated; that actions are based
on motives; that motives in turn
come from reflection. Our stories
cause reflection on the part of the
child, so it is up to us to give those
that are good and sound.
After all, most of us grown-ups
would give all we own to be back to
the fairy-land of childhood, before
the soul is scared with the dollar
mark; before the throat is chOked
with stiff collars; before Browning
and Ibsen have replaced good old
Mother Goose. There is something
wrong with any of us who cannot rev.
ell with the children in the never
lessened freshness of these tales of
long ago. 1t is the underlying sig
nificance of these tales that make
them immortal. The epics of innum-
cradle dead poets have been lost;
only huge fragments of Homer and
Aerchylees remain now, but those
quaint, simple, childish narratives,
told at the fireside, existing as they
have for ages, shall doubtless last
as long as this ancient world shall
throb with human life.
