MAKING GOOD
AT SIXTY FIVE

Don't worry about old age. A sound
man is good at n age. Keep your
body in good condition and you can be
as hale and hearty and able to "do your
bit" as when you were a young fellow.
Affections Of the kidneys and bladder
are among the leading auses of early
or helpless age. Keep them clean and
the other organs in working condition,
and you will have nothing to fear.
Drive the poisonous wastes from the
system and avoid uric acid accumula-
lions. Take GOLD MEDAL HARLEM

find that you are as good as the next
fellow. Your spirits will be ~rejuvc-
mated, your muscles strong and your

High intellect.

Nur Jahan, Light OF the World, IN
establish her real and remarkable In
dlviduality as n great statesman, a
brave warrior, a noble ruler and a
most charming poetess. Her COM
bined attractions Of person and high In
tellect have left many vivid records.
Her creative faculties produced new
developments in beautiful flowing cos
tunes, Of delicate designs and artistic
workmanship, and in the setting of
jewels, the invention Of perfumes and
many other luxurles of living.
Nur Jahan's name was associated on
the coin with that of Emperor ia
hangir, In his graceful couplet: "By
order Of the Emperor J%ahangir, the
value Of this coin is increased a hun
dredfOld by the name Of the Empress
Jahan."
There are many instances Of her
clever and witty literary repartee, an
exchange remarks. One day Nur ia
han and J~ahangir saw a child playing
with a ball of flowers. The emperor
tried in vain TO catch the Child'S atten-
ton, and remarked TO Nur Jahan
"The youthful sweetheart does not
turn toward us" To which she aptly
replied: while the flower is still Il
bud 1t does not shed its perfume"
On another occasion Jahangir, see
