Testify and Confidently
Recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills

It is testimony like the following
that has placed Doan's Kidney Pills
SO far above competitors. When people
right here at home raise their voice in
praise there is no room left for doubt.
Read the public statement of an Ell
Centro citizen:
j. G. Daily, contractor, Sixth and
Buena Vista Sts., Ell Centre, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy ! have ever used for kidney
complaint, and | never miss a chance
to recommend, them. A cold settled in
my kidneys and caused me to have q
soreness and dull ache across my
back. Ny kidneys acted too freely and
annoyed me. Doan's Kidney Pills gave
me relief and put my kidneys in good
shape" 6Oc at all dealers. Foster

trict would dream of refusing, for this
water is supposed to bring good luck
for the ensuing year. If the child's
request is granted, he sends spray
of icy water into the face of the gen.
tleman or lady of the house, with the
words. 81 wish you happy New
Year," Every member of the house

bringing water, so the child is brought

that one can feel hurt when one is
very young.

1.-The Old Year told me something
about that and the Old Year told me
how the feelings OF older people could
be hurt.

THE CALENDAR
Bv MARTHA B. THOMAS

THE calendar is a curious hu-
Z man document when you
stop to think about it. Just an
easier way of reckoning than
the counting of moons and suns,
and a very important matter it
is, too. A calendar is the direc-
tor of mans affairs, the Con
sulting engineer" always to be
interviewed before arranging
life, whether it is a dinner or
business appointment, a siege
with the dentist or a trip
abroad. 1t Is the grand refer
cnce book; a silent, inanimate
thing composed of twelve pages
or sections with black marks on
them. Probably no other book,
large or small, has as many
readers or commands the re-
spectful interest enjoyed by its
unimpeachable reputation.
