Would Richmond people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the
medicine were not reliable? Would
they confirm their statements after
years have elapsed if their experiences
did not show the remedy to be de-
serving of it? Statements like the fol-
lowing must carry conviction to the
mind of every reader:
Mrs. Robert Hull, 461z S. Eighth St,
Richmond, gave the following state
ment in September, 1915: Several
years ago my kidneys were weak and
disordered. Ny back was weak, lame
and ached steadily and my kidneys
acted irregularly. l used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and had very satisfactory re-
suits. l advise anyone who is troubled
with kidney disorders to get Doan's
Kidney Pills at Thistlethwaites Drug
Store"

WHY Some Men Are Able

The human heart from time immemerial has
longed for the secret of success Why some sue
coed and others fail is question that has baf-
fled investigation. Thousands of reasons have
been assigned. but an analysis proved most of
them wrong. Scientists have tried to see the
riddle solved in heredity and environment, but
thousands of cases have proved these to be fall
lacy.
Perhaps the best answer to the query is that
a man succeeds in proportion to his determine
ton and will power. Determination knows no
obstacle and circumvents every handicap Will
power galvanizes man into action and keeps
him keyed up until he has attained victory. Ger
many, for instance, breaches the determine
ton to win" to her masses. The Kaiser has tried
to create an mistaken faith in the ability of his
army to win That determination to win, that
inflexble decision Of the will to defeat every ma
ton has been inculcated into the German mind
to such degree that frightful losses of human
life do not deter him from attacking again and
again.
The American people are getting this new
principle. They are applying to their military
machinery the same determination to win that
characterized their industrial and commercial
enterprises Lets co." "hit 'em again." we've
got to do it, stick to it, are slang expressions
that are expressive of this attitude.
An excellent illustration of the value of will
power and determination is found in the Amer
lean Magazine in which the following incident is
narrated:
Charles P. Steinmetz, the hundred-thous-
and-dcllar-a-year consulting engineer of the Cen
eral Electric Company, tells us that men don't do
big things until they grow disconnected He
quotes an old Turkish proverb-that the world
belongs to the dissatisfied. No truer word was
ever spoken.
There is another fact that ought to be
brought out in this connection: The big differ
ences between human beings do not lie in ability
and intelligence. People come nearer being
equal in brains than we imagine. The really big
variations lie in force and ambition One man
achieves thousand times as much as another
not because he is thousand times as smart, but
