MY UNSEEN
FRIEND
BY Elsie Robinson

MY Unseen Friend,
NA Life Source whom we call
God,
But for whose being l have found
no name.
Help me today!
This day, think, will be a common
day,
Devoid of venture, risk or thrill or
show;
Eight working hours, plodding in
row ~.
Like tagging sheep, whose herder
I must be
And You who made me, know l
hate such days!
1 can face danger or the press of
haste,
Cruel shock or sudden uproar and
alarm,
Or can laugh and play the merry
clown,
o: act a Dart to mask some
des -,erate need
But something limps In me when
days are dull.
fret and whimper at monotony,
sulk and shirk when Life's pro.
cession drags,
l weep great tears of pity for
myself
And snarl with anger at each
fancied wrong,
And hate my brother and the
world and You.
And so I ask Your help this com.
mon day.
Help me keep sweet when there
is none to see;
Help me be patient though there
be no praise,
And brave, without the spot light
or applause,
And honest, in the secret, unseen
acts.
Help me forget my foolish. strut.
ting self,
Forget my childish need for risks
and thrills.
And let me be a part Of You today,
A part of LIES eternal urge and
plan,
As trees and birds and oceans are
part.
Help me be simple, like a growing
grain
That grows alike in sun or rain or
Wind,
And steadfast like the deep, en-
during soil,
Whose service never slackens
through the years,
Tor ever reckons up the gain or
los.
So help me see that every day is
rare,
And still my fretting with your
boundless peace,
Dear Friend, whom can feel but
cannot see.
For 1 am like a spoiled and
peevish child,
Who pouts at being in a quiet
ROOM

QUART OF WATER A
DAY HELPS KIDNEYS
When Back Hurts or Bladder
.Bothers, Also Take a
Little Salts

Eating too much rich food may
produce kidney trouble in some
form, says well-known authority,
because the acids created excite the
kidneys. Then they become over
worked, get sluggish, clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particu-
larly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twlngeS,
severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation, torpid liver, sleepless-
ness, bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or If
bladder bothers you, begin drinking
lots of good water and also get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any good pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys may then act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
years to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to ACTIVITY; also to
neutralize the acids in the system
so that they no longer irritate, thus
often relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts can not injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent
lithia- water drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to help keep the kidneys and uri-
nary organs clean, thus often avoid
ing serious kidney disorders.-Ad-
vertisement.
