You were taught at school
that your body undergoes n
complete change Of structure
every seven years.
This tearing down and build
ing up process of body tissue
continues without moments
pause throughout life.
And when n man gets into a
physical condition that the tis-
sues keep breaking down and
wasting away faster than Ma
ture can replace them, right
then he begins to grow odd.
This doesn't necessarily
mean, however, that he has
reached an advanced age.
Thousands upon thousands of
people begin to break down,
their vital organs giving evil
dence Of fast approaching de-
cay, long before they reach
middle age simply because
they fail to give Nature, at
the proper time. the needed
help to rebuild.

TRUTH TRIUMPHS
Canaan Citizens Testify for the Pub
lie Benefit

A truthful statement of a Canaan
citizen, given in his own words,
should convince the most skeptical
about the merits of Doan's Kidney
Pills. If you suffer from backache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary
disorders or any form of kidney ills,
use a tested kidney medicine.
A Canaan citizen tells of Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convinc-
ing proof of merit?
George R. Morris, retired mach
mist, Main St., says: "About four
years ago / suffered greatly from
kidney trouble. l had annoying
pains across the small of my back
and the kidney secretions were burn
ing and irregular in passage. often
felt all tired out. A friend told me
of Doan's Kidney Pills and l gave
them trial. l must say they helped
me wonderfully. / still use Doan's
Kidney Pills once in awhile with
good results"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same

Domestic Science

Domestic Science is study which
most every schoolgirl likes, and thinks
it is very interesting.
Domestic Science is taught in many
high schools. Nearly all girls like
housekeeping, cooking etc.
The question is, May we have Do
nestle Science in our own school?
All girls wish they could. Probably
the answer would be, eve have no
room nor the necessary equipment"
Do the town people support the
school? Yes, and why couldn't they
vote to see whether we could have
Domestic Science in this school?
Some people would say, 'fWhat is
the use Of having Domestic Science
in School, when the girls could be
taught outside of school in their own
homes, by their mothers?"
Do the girls mothers have time to
do this? Very seldom does mother
have time, and all the girls have
other school studies and little time
outside of school.
What is girl going to do when
she grows up to be young woman?
Be ignorant of housework, cooking
and sewing? Is she going to depend
upon her neighbor or someone else?
She won't have to if she had a good
long course in Domestic Science
when she went to school.
What about the girls who have no
fathers or mothers and have no one
to show them how to cook etc?
There is a great need for Domes-
tic Science in every school. We
ought to have it in our own school

ace and the sooner the people of
America wake UP to this fact the
sooner the problem will be solved.
In support Of this views our atten-
ton is called to some recent happen
ings such as the strike in Seattle,
where the strikers tried to take
over the government of the city, but
were stopped. ....
In Canada also there are some of
the Bolshevik elements, which, if
they are not dealt with quickly, will
lead to serious trouble. Not one
minute too soon has the U. S. sent
out Investigations.
If this Bolshevism spreads there
will be numbers of calamities
throughout the U. S. 1t is up to
every true American citizen to pre-
vent this pest from being spread.
All such people in the U. S. with
such erroneous ideas should be
banished as exiles from our true
country.
This anarchy in Russia is support
ed by the Germans and they have
failed not only politically but finan-
cially. The Bolshevik government,
which is practically no government at
all, is facing sickness and starvation.
When Trotzky was in this country
he advised to destroy the capitol at
/ Washington, D. c., and also we hear
of school teacher in New York city
teaching Bolshevism to her pupils.
A strong enmity toward religion
of any kind is shown by these people.
Bolshevism such as in Russia does
not thrive on American soil, although
the I. w. w. are organizations of
such bands. Those people have
enough nerve now to send bombs to
people by mail. What ought to be
done with such people? Why, the
question should not be asked, we
should all know.
We are hoping to conquer these
people soon and give them a demo
cratic government instead of bar.
barous government such as they have
at present.

Why | Am Proud to be an American

The most important thing that
@true American should be proud of is
his citizenship in this beautiful land
of ours, the United States. A real
American can find many reasons to
be proud of his nationality without
having them told to him, but will
endeavor to relate why l am proud to
be an American.
The first reason and the one
which affects most of the people
dwelling in the United States is, our
free government, giving equal OPP
portunity to all, and an even chance
for everyone to become rich or fam
Gus. The rule of the people is sup

ties women also, or any naturalized
foreigner may vote and have their
share in governing the nation or
holding public office.
Americas educational facilities
are among the greatest in the world.
Every town, city or village has its
public schools, where a pupil may re-
ceive grammar school education
and high school where the pupil

All foreigners who come to America,
the land of the free, may receive the
same education as any American
born in the United st ates and be
given the same chances of higher
education.
The United States is a country
which gives all its citizens the chance
of showing their ability Many of the
great men of these times were poor
country lads in their youth but by
showing their ability they have work

have just as much of chance for
