On the ISSUE Of
4mericanism There Can
Be No Compromise
The Fountain of Youth
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. by Frank cransD

which is another of Gods titles, and IS OF
wondrous soundness.
The Great Truths are all Youthful. 1t is
Lies that are decrepit.
1t is not Years but Fears that make us
grow old.
1t is Faith that keeps the wrinkles out OF
hearts, and it is Doubt that brings senlhty
and rots our bones.
And it is Love that is the Resurrection
Fact. For it is Love that peoples Heaven,
since if we did not love we should not per-
sist in believing in immortality. And even
as Love brings children into this existence,
so Love will not let them be annihilated in
the next.
Beauty also has the secret of eternity. Did
not the poet say that "a thing OF beauty
is joy forever?
So that if you can return to the smphci-
ties of Beauty, and learn to suck delight
from sky and flower, thrill at the sound OF
falling waters, send your soul up to soar
with the birds, and get drunk upon the red
wine of sunsets, you have discovered the
Fountain.
Within you is that Fountain. Retrace
your steps, and fare backward into your
Self. Clear away Fears, Doubts, Hates,
Worries, and all the bitter things you have
created to bedevil yourself withal.
Deep in the center of your Self is the
Fountain of Youth. You will know it; for
there by it sit the three sisters, Faith, Hope
and Love, the rock from which it gushes is
called Truth, and the secret reservoir that
feeds it forever is none other than God
Himself

10 miles per hour Is absurd and by
necessarily applying this dream" TO
street cars, railroads. etc. might
prove to be an advertisement for a

ILL HEALTH OFTEN DUE TO
NEGLECT OF KIDNEYS AND LIVER

Many organs take part in assimi-
lation of food, and a number are act
i've in eliminating those portions of
the food which are not taken into the
blood for the upbuilding of the body.
Of the eliminative organs, the liver
and the kidneys are of major impor-
lance, and are most likely to be over
worked and become diseased. When
such is the case, various troubles of
digestive and eliminative character
occur, and such troubles are so fire.
quent and so common that it is abso-
necessary to find some relief.
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Re-
medy was compounded over 40 years
ago to help. equalize the work of both

has been is evidenced by its wide
spread sale and its value is attested
by an immense number of apprecia-
tive users who through these many
years have put it to the severest tests
with the most satisfactory results.

POISONING Field Mice.

Field mice are very destructive to
fruit trees this year and do not over
look some ornamental trees. The
mice can be poisoned by cutting ap-
pies into pieces about an inch square
and placing a small amount of pow
dered strychnine in each piece.
Poisoned wheat can also be used to
kill mice. Bailey gives the following
formula: Scald five quarts of clean
wheat and drain. Take two-thirds of
a cupful of white sugar, dissolve with
sufficient water to make a syrup, add
powdered ~strychnine, stir thoroughly
until a thin paste is formed. Pour
this on the damp wheat. Stir thorough
ly for at least fifteen minutes. Add
n pint Of powdered sugar, stir; add
five to ten drops of rhodium and the
same quantity of oil of aniseed. Scat
ter where the mice are troublesome.
Washing the trunks of trees in
mild weather with lime wash in which
Is placed paris green, sulphur and
tobacco dust will usually keep rabbits
and mice away.
