DON'T WASTE TIME.

It's a waste of time to experiment
with liniments and plasters when you
have a dull throbbing backache or
sharp, stabbing twinges. Get after
the cause! Help the kidneys with
DOan's Kidney Pills. Read this.
j. H. Donovan, prop. of restau-
rant, Liberty St., Ellsworth, gave the
following statement December 5,
1916: II have used Doans Kidney
Pills now and then for the past five
years whenever | find my kidneys
need attention and they never fail to
cure me. | have to stand On my feet
in the kitchen when cooking and am
exposed to drafts from the doors, so
l know it is that which brings on my
trouble. At times my back pains Sc
verely and my legs cramp and l have
severe dizzy spells. AS soon as l
notice any of these symptoms coming
on, / go and get box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Moore's Pharmacy and
they soon have me feeling all right"
On October 5, 1920, Mr.. Donovan
said II gladly renew the statement
l gave for publication many years
ago. | am glad to say my kidneys
have given me no trouble at all of
late, and to Doan's all credit is due"

Young Jimmy Philosopher.

Just now Jimmy, seven years old, is
about the most interesting person
around the Swedish hospital, according
to nurses. Jimmy was taken there
several days ago for an infection in
his hand. The nurses tried to keep
him in bed, but as soon as they left
the room Jimmy was out and inves-
tigating the mysteries of other wards.
The other day a nurse was astonshed
when she entered Jimmy's room and
was greeted with:
"Say, do you know a man died in
that room down there last night?'
yes, l knew it. But how did you?'
the nurse replied.
"Oh, l read it on the report Sheets"
said Jimmy. "And say. do you know
there was baby born in the room
next to mine?"
"Well, for heavens sake, how did
you know that?" demanded the nurse.
81 read it ON the report Sheets"
Jimmy replied. Then he unused:
~ guess there is some truth in the
saying. The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away"
But the nurse was too astOniShed
to reply to that.-Kansas City Star

IS BUDDHA's H0LIEST SHRINE
Shwe Dagon Pagoda in Rangoon At
tracts the Devout From All
Parts of the World.

My Burmese friend Maung Hkin
and | visited together the Shwe Dagon
pagoda in Rangoon, which springs like
a golden flame to the height of 36S
feet among it's tlame-bright trees.
Holy and most holy, to it come all the
Buddhist pilgrims of the world, for in
its Utmost heart lie hidden relics of
the four earthly Buddhas-the staff
of Kawkathan, the water filter of
Gawnagong, the robe of Kathapa and
eight hairs of the Gautama Buddha.
Surely, the most gorgeous shrine of all
the earth, covered with thin plates Of
gold up to the jeweled tree swimming
in the blue air aloft! The original
shrine is said to have been built In
5S5 B. c., but who can think Of any
thing SO cold as chronology amid such
color and glory? We stood upon the
noble platform before the towering
golden pinnacles of the many shrines,
blessed one-images from China, from
Tibet, from all the countries Of the
faithful, and the ardent green Of the
trees framed them with waving grace,
and the happy people came and went
and made their homage about us, and
they and all the day overfowed with
sunshine and Joy.
"And now" said Maung Hkin, ut
Is fitting that we make an offering to
the Lord Buddha. Thus is merit ac-
quired and blessing gained. You
thinkY'
l did not doubt, and we proceeded
to buy some flowers from the heaped
masses Of fragrance sold on the steps
ascending in flights and pauses from
where the great leogryphys 60 feet
in height guard the portals with their
noble grotesque. We bought also
bunch of tiny tapers and little green
and gold sticks with which to light
them, and with all these we approached
the central Buddha, majestic in peace
The attendant lit the tapers from the
burning rows with our sticks and set
them on the iron grille, white with the
dripping of myriad candles. He took
both my hands in his and softly re-
peated the invocation, and we laid
down our flowers among the many that
made the shrine glorious. And then,
taking each of our right hands, he
touched them with gold leaf on the
back, and that was all. We had paid
our homage. Gold leaf is always sold
at the entrance, that merit may be ac-
quired by touching with it the images
or any gilded part of the shrine.
Buddhism is a golden and jeweled
faith in Burma-many villages have
their golden pagoda-flames lit, as it
were, from the central fire of the Shwe
Dagon.-Asia Magazine.

Significant Storm Warnino.

In pressure, such sunset may pre-
cede "a or 48 hours such signs as the
sea swell and the moving of the upper
clouds in unusual directions, and may
be the only early indication of dan

as offshoots of larger hurricanes. The
f1re-cOlored sunset is quite different

THE MISSION OF CULTURE.

The difference between a man
of culture and boor is measured
not by education alone For cul-
ture is an intimate refinement of
mind, while education of a high
order is not infrequently found in
men noted for their coarseness. A
professional man is not neces-
sarily a gentleman. nor is the lat
ter always endowed with learning.
Culture is the refinement of
mind, morals, Or tastes. r." Educa-
ton usually plays a prominent
part in this development, but it
does not constitute the whole pro-
cess. There must be native ma
terial upon which to work. Some
natures are so narrow, mean and
egotistic that culture never enters
therein. It's place is taken by a
sordidness that revels in vulgar
ity, delights in oppression Of an
other, and gloats over the mis-
fortunes Of all else save self. Such
beings yearn aid pant after self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. They thrive on
publicity. They seek to throttle
the honest efforts of another.
Their chief aim in life is to sweep
aside all and everything that may
oppose their onward march to
selfish ambition.
Education should bestow Gull
ture, or, at least. it should serve
to unfold the cultural tendencies
of the SOUL Nothing is quite so
saddening in this line as the greed
and exasperating strivings after
pelf or honor on the part of
those whom mental training has
left fallow and hard.
The mission Of culture, there
fore, is to soften and refine the in
dividual. It should aim at round
ing the rough corners and polish
ing the uneven surfaces. It's duty
is to produce agreeable contacts
between man and his fellows. Nor
should this process be considered
something weakening: the smooth
granite is just as stout as the I'M
cut stone.
J Culture manifests its presence
In dellcacy of thought and act. It
