LUCY LOWELL OFFERS ADVICE
ON HOW TO BE KIND
By Lucy Lowell.
Overlooking Selfshness in FellowMan and Correcting
Own Faults Best, She Declares.

self ana extinguish them.
I'VE need fine thinkers to he
keepers of our souls!"
It's an interesting idea. isn't
1t? That one may become fine
thinker, which, of course, means
also Kind thinker, by using the
discovery of others frailties as
a means of correcting his own!
OF course, agree with him, and
especially with what he writes
further:
Most hearts are right, and
minds crave and need stimulat-
ing light!'
He writes great deal about
nations being subject to the same
1mmuLaole laws as Individuals
possessing the same opportuni-
ties, drawing to themselves the
same penalties for wrong done.
l am sorry that / cannot dis
cuss that matter with him or
with anyone, since the purpose
of this column is that of dealing
with the problems and triumphs
of the individual human heart,
But will take issue with one
and only one-statement he
makes:
1.-THE wrongs of a few draw all
into the maelstrom."
This l do not believe. It may
seem to be truth to our limited
vision, at least for a time.
But the fact is that good is
more powerful than evil, Good
works more SLOWLY, perhaps, but
more surely. and the structure
it builds endures.
Evil may rise to destroy part
of the structure, but good builds
It over again, stronger than be-
fore.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER
 SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Reflected


 Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very sue cessful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing influ- ence of pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of sue cess.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing state ment that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so com mon to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bot ties of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bihg- hamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle When writing be sure and mention this paper. Advertisement

IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES
 APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Meu- tho-Sulphur to an itching. burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says noted skin specialist. This sulphur prep- aration, made into pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema. that nothing has ever been found to take it's place.
 Because of it's germ destroying properties, 1t quickly subdues the itching. cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up. leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or rough II ess.
 You do not have to wait for im- proyement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Rowles Men tho-Sulphur at any drug store.
