for him to have provided banquet
such as epicures partake of, but fare
would have been entirely unsuitable
for women and children who composed
a large part of that crowd. The food
he provided was appropriate for them.
The man who takes care of his health
is careful of his diet. He need not
necessarily make himself a general
nuisance because of a fnnicky APP
petite, but he will not usually partake
of the wole bill of fare from soup to
desert. Doubtless God can do a good
deal with sick man. He has proved
that many times. Some sick men are
worth a dozen well ones. But, other
things being equal the man who eats

live longer and live better than the
man whose stomach is all the time

Backache Is Discouraging
But Not SO Bad If You Know How
To Reach the Cause.

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Barton people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Ask your neigh
Dor. Read this case:
HI. A. Folsom, prop. butcher shop,
Glover street, Barton, says: II have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and con-
slider them an excellent kidney and
backache remedy. At times I am
subject to an aching pain and my
kidneys do not act right. I have
found good relief from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. I am glad to
recommend them for the purpose
their use is indicated. Doan's have
brought me relief from a lame and
aching back, regulated the kidney Sc
cretions and benefited me generally
Statement given June 5, 1919
On May IA, 1920, Mr.. Folsom
said ct still think Doan's Kidney
Pills are very good. I haven't had
to use them for the last two years.
Doan's cured me and I am glad to
say a word of praise for them. I
gladly renew the statement made
several years ago."

Why Wisconsin Is Known as
Badger State and Origin
of "Sucker" for Illinois

Wisconsin Is called the Badger
state, not, as most people seem to
think, because the badger formerly
abounded there, for in the past Wis
consin was never favorite home of
this little quadruped, writes CORE
spondent.
The familiar nickname originated
rather with the early settlement Of
southwestern Wisconsin, whose lead
mines attracted the first considerable
migration to Wisconsin. The hardy
ton of the northwestern wilderness
intent on digging fortunes from the
earth with their picks were composed
in the main of two groups. One, made
up of men from southern Illinois and
further south, went down the Mis-
sissippi to their homes every win,
ter and returned in the spring to la
Dor for another season; the other, COM
posed of miners from the Eastern
states, could not thus easily go home,
and so they "burrowed in" for the
winter in rude shacks or huts, which
frequently were built after the fash
ion OF dugOutS.
The men who went south for the
winter and returned in the spring were
given the name of suckers" from the
similarity of this practice with
that Of the well-known fish of the
Mississippi, Rock and other Western
streams.
The men who wintered in the lead
mines were called badgers" They
were the first permanent settlers in
the lead mines north of the Wiscon-
sin line, and thus the name became
associated with the state.
Thus did the people of Wisconsin
and Illinois gain the popular nick
names of Badger" and Sucker" by
which they have ever since been
known.

DIR. Diet and DIR. Quiet
Sunday School Lesson for May 8, 1921
Scripture, Lev. %: 39-43; Deut 5: IL
Is: Mark 6: 31-32.

DIR. Diet and DR.. Quiet are two very
good physicians. Rest and refresh
ments are about the extent of their
prescriptions, but multitudes can at
test the efficancy of the treatment.
The world has been long time learn
ing what was well known to Moses
centuries ago. He prescribed in Levi
ticus festival in which all the people
should get out doors and live in booths
and arbors for a solid week, at least
once a year the simple life. A whole
nation taking a vacation at the same
times. Moses also laid down the law
for Sabbath observance so rigidly that
all labor of every sort was prohibited
one day in seven. And the Master,
long afterwards kept himself and his
disciples in health, after exciting ex-
periences with great multitudes in the
metropolis, teaching, and preaching,
and healing, labors which taxed his
physical system to it's capacity, and
tore the nerves of his disciples into
shreds, by taking boat ride across
the lake of Galilee into the solitudes
of the opposite shore, and IN the wild.

LIVING THE SIMPLE LIFE
This has been the practice of some
of the worlds greatest men through
the ages. Moses dreamed away 40
years in the desert keeping sheep and
developing constitution that 40
years of the most strenuous activity
subsequently failed to break down.
Psalms Of David were not written
during the royal career of the mon
arch but they were evolved under the
stars that shone on the Judean hills
while the shepard lad watched his
focks by night. John the Baptist got
his rugged constitution in the great
| outdoors. Locusts and wild honey
does not appeal to the epicure, but
| it made a man of John the Baptist
| who was not afraid to beard the king
i and tell him to his face where he got
off. The men of that age lived the
| simple life. One reason why the
apostles were such men of might was
that they were not weak house plants.
Fish was cheap along Galilee, and
this with unleavened bread, gave them
plenty of PHOSPHORUS for brain food.
Those early ministers were not invited
out to late suppers and fed up on
lobster salad and yellow legged chick
ems before the post-prandial exercises
and then expected to be smart. "No-
body ever embroided slippers for the
big foot of Simon Peter, the fisher
man preacher" but Oh! How he could
preach. Everybody ought to take the
advice of Moses and Christ and make
sure that they get a certain amount
of rest and recreation. What would
American literature be without the
teachings Of such men as Ralph Wal
do Emerson, and Thoreau, and John
Burroughs.

THAT PURCHASED ToGA.

When that doughty dress parade
warrior, Truman H. Newberry, ran for
the Senate in Michigan, his campaign
manager opened the bags of gold and
expended $4,000 to win the nomina-
tion. That is what the campaign man

gods, and perhaps Newberry himself,
really knew how many either hundreds

THE CREMATORY.

We take pleasure Ia Publishing In
the. What the People Say column ON

John A. Bader. which presents an
interesting phase OF the city crpma-

Mr.. Bader contends that the City
Councils mistake was not in buying n
wrong kind OF crematory, but in not
buying one large enough to dispose of
Wilmingtpn's garbage--in other words.
he AYERS that If more units are placed
alongside those already i'm operation.

refuse. He points out that this would
entail no additional expense for road
ways, land, &C.. and further says that
the needed additions will cost no more
now than they would have il or
dered at the time that the original
contract was signed.
Mr.. Bader is a gentleman of many
years building experience. who COM

A TAX UPON CULTURE.

they Increase thu rate from I5 tc 20

in the future.
Now the joke Of it is that the Ameri-
can publishers. through their journal,
