Your Parents and Grandparents

as rule, believed in doctoring with
natures remedy, the life-giving extracts
of leaves, roots and herbs, and you must
admit that very large majority of them

ment that kept them so well and vigorous
will keep you the same.
SEVEN BARKS is made from the ex-
tracts of several different kinds of leaves.
roots and herbs, and has for nearly 30
years been recognized as the most re-
liable remedy for correcting and prevent
ling disturbances of the stomach, liver.
kidneys and bowels Get the stomach and
bowels working right and most other all
ments will vanish.
SEVEN BARKS restores a healthy.
natural bowel action, in most eases it pro
notes appetite, and quickly puts the d.
gestive organs in shape to assimilate food
t also acts on the liver and kidneys. Fail
ure of these to act properly allows the
whole body to be poisoned, and brings
about other complications
The principal cause of backaches is the
kidneys when they don't perform their
duty, and if not flushed and the poisons
| thrown off, serious trouble will happen
SEVEN BARKS will not only relieve
kidney troubles, but keeps your stomach
in good condition and your liver active.
Ask your druggist for SEVEN
BARkS, Ii he does not have it he will
get it for yOu.-Ady.

Rear Admiral Herbert o. Dunn. whose
active career in the L. s. navy ends to-
day on account of his reaching the age
of statutory retirement, leaves behind
him a record of long and efficient service.
During the war Admiral Dunn was in
charge of the naval base at the Azores and
he was highly complimented by the navy
department for his handling of the many
delicate situations that arose during the
conflict He was decorated by the Portu-
gueSe government and also rewarded by
the japanese government for the assist
ance he gave to the crew of a japanese
warship that put in at the Azores. Many
of the crew were i'll with influenza and
a number died. The American commander
saw to it that the living, as we'll as the
dead, were properly cared for. Admiral
Dunn is a native of Rhode Island. He
commanded the battleship Idaho at one
time. For some time past he has been in
command of the first naval district

PLANTING MONEY.

Mrs. Bergdoll, mother of the distin-
guished draft-dodgers, told a congress
sional committee that she got $685.
in gold from the United States treasury
and buried it in the ground because she
had read in books that people made
money on gold by burying it"
1t may be said that Mrs Bergdoll was
simply having little fun with the inquis-
itors, but she certainly created an i'm
preston that she thought the gold would
grow and increase, like potatoes, if it
was planted.
1t is needless to say how childish that
is. Yet there are thousands of people
perhaps millions, who act as if they be
ieyed in exactly such nonsense. They
put money in bureau drawers or teapots
or old socks, or carry large sums in their
pockets, as if they expected it to increase
there in some miraculous way.
There is a way to make money grow
and a perfectly obvious one-putting it
in the bank. Yet people ignore it to
such an extent that many hundred mil

Read the sporting. page and stay
young" is the advice of one prominent
clergyman. He reasons that to acquire
influence with youth and become its
guide when it needs guidance, one must
identify himself with its interests, share
its ideas and participate in its pursuits.
In doing that it is a big help in his opin-
ion, to be familiar with the names and
exploits of the sporting-page heroes,
Anyone who has taken particular note
of an average group of men engaged in
reading newspapers will consider this adj
vice almost unnecessary. Few of them
overlook the sporting page.

is considering an offer of 100000 to ap-
