Paris, Dec. 19.-The American dele

ously acquiesced in the American plan
to destroy the captured or surrendered

IT'S A MISTAKE
Made by Many Bemidji
Residents

Many people in a misguided effort
to get rid Of kidney backache, rely
on plasters, liniments and other make
shifts. The right treatment is kid
ney treatment and a remarkably
recommended kidney medicine is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Bemidji is no
exception.
The proof is at your very door.
The following is an experience typical
of the work of Doan's Kidney Pills
in Bemidji:
Mrs. J. P. Pogue, 521 Fourth St.,
Bemidji, says: ~ had dull pains in
my back and hips for a long time.
My kidneys acted too freely and l
always felt worse after I exerted my
self. My feet would swell and my
head ached. I tried different kinds
of remedies without relief. I got
Doan's Kidney Pills at Barker's Drug
Store and began using them. Two
boxes cured me and I have had no
return of the trouble"
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Pogue had. Foster -Milburn Co.,

ADD COLOR TO THE GARDEN
Goldflnches, Always Attracted by Sum-
flowers, Make Beauty Spot
Especially Attractive.

A very familiar bird in our gardens,
especially when there are sunflowers
growing there, is the beautiful little
American goldfinch.
Their deep black wings and tail and
little cap form striking, though pleas
ing, contrast to their bright yellow
bodies.
Because. of, their sweet, canary-like
notes they are often called wild ca
naries.
They arc very sociable little birds,
being found usually in small flocks;
they even build their nests in small
communities.
When winter approaches the male
changes his bright yellow coat for one
of a soberer color closely resembling
that Of the female. 49,
Numbers of them feed upon the sum
flowers in my garden every year, and tt
is a pleasing sight to 60 in there and
see their bright yellow bodies flashing
in the sun. ~
They are hardy little fellows, spend
ing the entire winter with us.--New

PLEASANT WAY ALWAYS BEST
Nothing Ever Lost by Effort to Take
Sting Out Of Request That Must
Be Refused. = s..s., 80,


Do you know how to take the sting
out of anything unpleasant you have
to do? 1t Is a good plan to learn how
to do this. ~~...--.: --.
'She said she couldn't do it, but you
know how, Eftie would say such.a thing.
She tries so hard to make everybody
feel pleasant. Now, when I say no,
people understand that mean no."
Marcia looked as well pleased with
herself as if she had announced more
amiable characteristic. She was a girl
with a peculiarly blunt and uncom-
promising manner. If she refused re-
quest, her refusal was as downright as
a blow. 1t was never, softened by any
little phrase suggesting regret. And
Marcia was so well satisfied with her
self that she felt something like con-
tempt for the way Ef1ie took the sting
out Of saying no, and made the people
to whom she refused a favor as CRATE
full as if she had granted it.. -~-
The girl who starts to go through
life with her elbows out is going to
find the road hard to travel. If she
prideS herself on being blunt and out
spoken, she may need to use that as
consolation for her sore heart many a
time. 1t pays to make even refusal
pleasant. 1t pays to take out the sting
whenever possible, and drop in the
honey. One who starts, out as Marcia
did, priding herself on being blunt, and
is likely to come to old age friendless
and embittered. Learn to be pleasant
and take out the ssting,-Exchange. .
