George Ade is connected with

following is what ne gave them:
'The most helpful advice for
young people is condensed into
morals, maxims and proverbs.
"A bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush.' Great stuff If you
had a bird in the hand you would
not know what to do with it.
Besides, with two in the bush
you're liable, with any kind of
luck, to have a lot more birds
after while.
"'The rolling stone gathers
no moss. Therefore, lie still and
become a mossback.
Early to bed and early to
rise and you will meet very
few prominent people.
Some people are good be-
cause it is expensive to be 9th

A man can afford anything
he can get and a woman can af-
ford anything that she can get
a man to get for her.

Bengal tiger t'.ere is in a white
rabbit until you put him on a
meat diet.
Every man is the architect
of his own fortunes, but the
neighbors superintend the con-

Belgium, of Serbia, of the Lusi-

it is for us to redeem as far as

who can have more reason for

This is our '76. Perhaps we
feel about it much as the colon

and suffered dreadfully at times. A
sudden move was all that was neces.
sary to bring on an attack of pain and
for days it was all l could do to get
around. Sharp pains through my kid
neys caused me intense suffering. My
back was lame and so sore that |
could not bear to touch it. The kid
ney secretions became very annoying
and contained sediment, too. Three
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills removed
the trouble
OVER TWO YEARS LATER Mr.
Deming said: II like Doan's Kidney
Pills as much now as when l recon-
mended them some years ago. l am
pleased to confirm that endorsement
hope others will read it and be cured
