LINES TO BE REMEMBERED
Robert Louis Stevenson.

To he honest, TO be kind--to earn
little and to spend little less. to make
upon the whole a family happier for
his presence; TO renounce when that
shall he necessary and not to be EN-
Uttered! to keep a few friends, but
these without capitulation-above all,
on the same grim conditions to keen
friends with himself-here is a task
for all that a man has of fortitude and
delicacy.

GOES BACK TO ARIsToPHANES
Punctuation System Said to Have
Been First Employed by Famous
Greek Philosopher.

The punctuation marks which sep
arate and conclude sentences and
thereby simplify the perusal of what
is written are said to have been first
employed by Aristophanes. The sys-
tenn devised by him was not. however.
generally known, and soon fell again
into complete oblivion. It was nearly
thousand years before similar at
tempt was again made. 1t was In the
time of Charles the Great that punctu.
alton marks were again introduced in
to writing at the instigation of the dis
tinguished Iinguists Warnefried and
Alcuin. These signs also, however
fell into disuse. The present system
of punctuation, now used in all mod
ern languages with but Insignificant
variations. was introduced in the first
half Of the fifteenth century by Vene.
tian printer named Aldus Manutius.
He is the real father OF our punctua-
ton marks, of the full stop. comma,
semicolon. colon. question and exclam
ion marks. apostrophe and inverted
commas. Manutius' system was adopt
ed later by all printers until 1t finally
established itself throughout Europe.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that un-
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health OF these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success az kidney remedy is
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, il soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and 81 90.
However, if you wish first TO test thi.
great preparation, send ten cents to DR.

S UDDEN DEATH


The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no

technical education enters the world
OF business feeling that his diploma
entities him to immediate recognition
and to high position. This knowl-
edge which the school has given him.
is the best foundation he can have:

Therefore, say to you, young man.
get all the school education that you
can use to advantage. Realize the
value Of a technical training. whether
1t is In mechanics or in business.
Learn the theory. and then practice
on that theory.
Learn to do by doing. even though
what you do may be full of faults.
Your mistakes, If properly treated.
will be stepping-stones to accomplish
ment. Keep on doing. however. look
ing upon each experiment or action
as part of your training. which
training should continue as long as
you live. for you never will reach pre-.
