A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend stands by you
when in need. Abilene people tell
how Doan's Kidney Pills have
stood the test. d. w. Allison,
painter, Of 400 w. First street,
endorsed Doan's three years ago
and again confirms the story.
Could you ask for more convinc-
ing testimony?
II have been a painter for forty
five years and the turpentine in
the paint weakened my kidneys"
says Mr.. Allison. my back got
sore and when I stopped / could
hardly straighten again. I didn't
get much relief at night and
mornings I was stiff and lame.
Ny kidneys acted too often, and
the kidney secretfons were highly
colored and burning. / got dizzy
at times and had headaches. Ill
bought Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Northcraft drug store and used |
them. My back became easier
and my kidneys were regular. As
my Kidneys got stronger, the
symptoms left me-"
Almost three years later Mr..
Allison said From the turpentine
and oils sometimes have a little
trouble with my Kidneys, although I
I have had no serious trouble since

Pills. Doan's keep me In fine con-

RESPECT THE FLAG

! When You see the Stars and
Stripes displayed, son. stand up
and take on your hat. Somebody
may litter. II Is In the blood OF
some to deride all expression OF
noble sentiment. You may bias
pheme In the street and stagger
drunken in public places, and the
bystanders will not pay much at
tention to you, but II you should
get down on your knees and pray
to Almighty God. or IL you should
stand bareheaded while a COM
pany OF old soldiers marches by
with flags to the breeze, most peo-
pie will think you are showing on.
But don't you mind! When Old
Glory comes along, salute, and let
them think what they pleased
When tho band plays 'The Star
Spangled Banner" In q restaurant
or hotel dining room, get up, even
II you rise alone; stand there, and
don't be ashamed Of It, either.
Don't be ashamed when your
throat chOkes and the tears come |
when you see the flag flying from
the masts Of our ships ON the !,
great seas or floating from every
Flagstaff Of the Republic. You will
never have a w0rthier emotion.
For Of all the signs and symbols
since the world began there is
none SO full Of meaning as the flag
Of this country.
Other flags mean a glorious
past; this flag means a glorious
future. 1t is not so much the flag
Of our fathers as it is the flag Of
our children, and Of countless chill
dren yet unborn. 1t is the flag
Of tomorrow, the signal Of the
Good time coming" 1t is not the
flag Of your king; it is the flag Of
yourself and your neighbors.
Your flag stands for humanity,
'or an equal opportunity to all the
IONS of men. OF course, we have
lot yet arrived at that goal; in
ustice still dwells among US
and cruel customs OF the
'ast still cling to us, but the flag
eads the way to righting the
wrongs Of men.
Our flag is the worlds symbol
+ liberty. That piece of red, white
nd blue bunting means five thou
and years Of struggle upwards.
Is the ull-grown flower of gen
ratiOns fighting for liberty. 1t

ORGANIC MATTER IN SANDS
Material Unsuitable for Concrete to
Be Investigated by Bureau Of
Public Roads.

(Prepared by the United States Department.
of Agriculture.)
Sands unsuitable for concrete on
account of the presence Of loam or
other organic matter are to be inyes-
tigated by the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture and methods of treatment
devised to make them safe for use.
Until recent years it often happened
that concrete made of good cement
and well-graded and apparently good
sand, would disintegrate and become
worthless. In such cases the poor
quality has been attributed to all the
different things which go to make
poor concrete.
A few years ago laboratory work
ers discovered the effect of organic
matter in sand and devised a simple
test to determine It's presence in harm
full quantities. The bureau now hopes
to find methods of treatment so that
such sands can be used. Samples of
sand from all parts of the country are
desired and anyone is invited to send
in a sample in which the presence Of
organic matter is suspected, addressed
to the Bureau of Public Roads, Wash
ington, d. G.

age to another. Under the average
regulatory law thus far made effec-
tive, the greatest service has not been
secured from the best roads, nor the
safety of the lesser capacity road
ways assured. The influence of sub
grade soils, tire equipment. distribu-
ton of load to the wheels, speed, and
many other yariables is too complex
to be written into law.
The seasonal variation alone In the
carrying capacity of the roadbeds, due
to moisture conditions, is one Of the
most serious of all the causes Of road
damage. Highway authorities there
fore must be given wide discretion in
traffic regulation. The bureau urges
that as a solution of the problem the
state highway officials of each state
be given broad powers, SO that traffic
can be regulated to suit conditions as
they exist at any particular time.
