Dear Miss Brooks

Dear Miss Brooks:
You invited the readers of your cor.
ner TO write answers to the CUES
toner who asks: What is the harm il
petting? Boys and girls. men and wo.
men in numbers about equal make VI
the population. The mating instinct Is
one of the strongest and most COM
polling of all. 1t is no wonder young
people blunder, or become confused
They have such an abundance Of life
and such a capacity for lovingl Some
where in this world is my mate. the
one that belongs to me, just one. II
l take more someone else has to &c
without, and l am a robber. The best
in my heart belongs to this one. If
bestow II on others l am robbing the
one to whom 1t belongs. l will guard
this treasure and find my daily happf-
ness In occupying the place where
belong-flling that place full of cheer
and helpfulness, waiting till the All
Knowing One shows me which one has
the right to claim this treasure in my
heart. What is more attractive in this
world than to see young person full
of life and energy exercising self con-
troll, having a purpose for self develop
ment and usefulness. and sticking to it !;
equally companionable to dad and
younger brother. a mouth untainted by
tobacco or foul language, with a heart
so merry that song and laughter bubble
forth like water from a spring. No
robber he, of the hearts that belong to
another and his own hearts treasure
is carefully guarded. This is nothing
more than every young person should
be. Would it take all the JOY out of
life? 1t means. TO possess the condi-
better.

Make Work Easier

Redwood Falls People Are Pleased to
Learn How It Has Been Done.
It's pretty hard to attend to duties
With constantly aching back;
With annoying urinary disorders.
Doan's Pills have made work easier.
So thousands have gratefully testi-
fed.
They're for bad backs.
They're for weak kidneys.
Redwood Falls people gratefully re-
commend Doan's. Ask your neigh
Dor!
Mrs. ]. tKrieger, Washington and
Chestnut Sts.. Redwood Falls, says:
"0verwork broke down my kidneys
and gave me backache. It was an
effort to bend my back because of the
cutting pains which started in the
small of it. Bearingldown pains
across my kidneys made me tired and
worn out. Friends advised the use of
Doan's Pills and one box of this fine
remedy gave me relief. / was rid of
the steady pain in my back and felt
better all over"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Krieger had. Foster Milburn. Co.,

Nobody ever took the trouble to
find out who he was. whence he came
or whether or not he had any folks

him real pie" for us little rascals!
