HEIGHT THAT FEW ATTAIN
Not Many People Can Boast Their
Complete GuiItlesvness of the
"Seven Deadly SINS"

The "seven deadly sins" are pride,
envy, lust, avarice, anger, SlOth and
gluttOny.
The fathers, the sages. the wise
men of the world, handing down from
one generation to another through the
centuries what they had observed and
learned, at last agreed that all our
spiritual and mental miseries, as well
as most of our physical sufferings,
come from an indulgence in the
thoughts and actions included in the
aforementioned list of sins.
Old-fashioned people used to keep
this list constantly before them, and
their spiritual and physical health
progressed or declined in the measure
that they were able or unable to con-
troll their thoughts and appetites.
In these modern days we are still
surprised to learn that the list of
seven deadly sins was ever even made,
and we are more surprised to know
that it is a list which really covers
the whole moral scheme of existence.
The man who can finally subdue
himself into a state in which he does
not break any of the laws for which !
the seven deadly sins stand as in
may well congratulate !
himself. He is what we would call Il |
pretty good man, and we would like
to have him as neighbor. Not to be
proud not to be envious, not to be
lustful, never to be avaricious or
angry, nor to be a lazy man nor
glutton, means that you need fear no
man or devil, and that you certainly
shall not be afflicted with govt.
"Be good and YOU will be happy"
There's many saying, but there is
none better than that.

Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done for Humanity
BY DOCTOR GRIPS.

It has always seemed to me that DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be placed
near the top when a list of America S
great benefactors is written. He studied
and conquered human diseases to a de-
gree that few realize. Whenever he found
a remedy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where it could be bought at small
price. He did not follow the usual custom
of keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name of
each root and herb he used. And so today
the names of Or. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet
ter health and better citizenship.
One of this great physicians most sue
cessful remedies is known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets These are little, sugar.
coated pills, composed of Mayapple, leaves
of aloe, root of Jalap-things that Nature
grows in the ground. These Pellets are
safe because they move the bowels gently,
leaving no bad after-effects, as so many
pills do. Very often they make person
who takes them feel like new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines of
hard, decayed and poisonous matter that
accumnlates when one is costive. II you
are constipated, by all means go to your
druggist and get some of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They may prove to be
the very thing your system requires to

corn is extremely limited. In such
seasons, it is we'll to retain all ears
showing a termination of 60 per cent

 It is understood that an agreement virtually has been reached on the amount or reparation to be inserted in the peace treaty. This is far less than either the French or British es- inmates as originally submitted but is still a vast sum running high into billions of dollars.
 The western German frontier is also practically settled, one of the main features being a neutralized or "sterilized' strip along the west bank of the Rhine which will insure an adequate buer between France and any renewed German aggression.
 The council of the great powers to- day heard the case of King Nicholas of Montenegro, which was presented by General Gvosdenovich, Montenegrin minister at Washington It was a protest by the venerable monarch against losing his throne and having his country absorbed by the new Jugo-Slav state.

 Incidentally, the protest involves the issue between Italy and Jugo- Slavia. King Nicholas is the father of the Queen of Italy so that Monte negro's position has not been clearly defined on the issue between Italy and the new state which seeks to en- brace Montenegro
 The council also considered food relief for Bohemia and other sections of southeastern Europe where the warning factions still make it diff1- cult to forward supplies.

DOCTORS FIND
 REMEDY FOR
 COLDS AND FLU
Calotabs. the New Nausealess CalO- mel, Cuts Short Colds and Prevents Flu by Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learnde from eX- refinca, during the epidemic of influ- enza, that one of the most important factors i'll tn epreVentiOn of fluand pneumonia is to keep the liver active so that the digestive organs may be in perfect working order and the sys- tenn thereby enabled to throw off colds check sore thrOatS. and resist serious complications. For this pur- pose they have found that the new, nauseales calomel called Calotabs, is far more effective even than the old style calOmel which was formerly the universal favorite. as Calotabs do not weaken not salivate the patient, nor interfere with the appetite and digestion
 At the first sign of a col dor sore throat, doctors recommend one Calo- tab at bed time with a swallow of Water,-thats all ON salts no nau- sea, nor the slightest interference with your diet, pleasure. or work. Next morning you wake up feeling fine your liver is active and your ap- petite is keen for good breakfast. For your protection Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents. All druggists re- commend and guarantee Calotabs.
