P0IBY KIDNEY PJLtS , POLKT KIDNEY VttU
Recently three leading men
spoke at the men's meeting in
Cleveland on the subject, "Things
I Wish I Had Known Before I
Was Twenty-one." G. Leonard
Fels, the Hrsi speaker, gave an
swers sent in hy twenty four men.
Here they are. F.very word is
worth reading:
1. Whai I was going to do for a
living; what my life-work would
be.
2. That my health after thirty
depended, in a large degree, on
what I put into my stomach before
I was twenty-one.
3. How to take care of niuney.
4. The commercial asset of be
ing neatly and sensibly dressed.
5. Thaia man'shabitsaremighiy
hard to change after he is twenty
one. 6. That a harvest depends upon
the seeds sown; wheat produce?
wheat, thistles bring forth thistles,
ragweeds spoil good pasture, and
wild oats sown will surely produce
all kinds of misery and unhappi
ness. 7. Thai things worth while re
quire time, patience and work.
8. That you can't get something
for nothing.
m. i nat me world wouki give
me just about what I deserved.
10. That by the sweat of my
brow would I earn my bread.
1 1. That a thorough education
not only pays better wages than
hard labor, but it brings the best
of everything else; namely, more
enjoyable work, belter food, more
of the luxuries and pleasures ol
life, better folks to live and deal
with, and, best of all, the genuine
satisfaction that you are somebody
worthy of respect, confidence, and
the priceless gilt of friendship.
1 2. That honesty is the best pol
icy, not only in dealing with my
neighbors, but also in dealing with
myself and God.
II The value of absolute truth
fulness in everything.
1 4. The folly of not taking older
people's advice.
15. That everything my mother
wanted me to do was right.
16. That "Dad" wasn't an old
fogy alter all. If I had done as he
wished me to do, I would be much
better off physically, mentally and
morally.
1 7. What it really meant to faih
er and mother to raise their son.
18. What hardships and disap
pointments would be entailed by
my leaving home against my par
ents wishes.
1 9, More of the helpful and in
spiring pans of the Bible, particu
larly the four books dealing with
the life of Christ.
'0. The greainess of the oppor
tunity and oy of serving a fellow
man.
21. That Jesus Christ was with
me as an elder brother and friend
i:i every activity and relationship
of Me.
22. That God's relationship to
me was iuM as hetoful and delieht-
fa us that of a good sheoherd to
ward his sheep, or of a father to
ward his sun.
2.V A faithful friend is a strong
defense. He that hath found a
friend hath found a treasure. A
poor man may be said to be rich
in the midst of his poverty so long
as he enjoys the interior sunshine
of a devoted friend.
24, Friendship cheers like a
sunbeam, charms like a good story,
inspires like a brave leader, binds
like a golden chain, guides like a
heavenly star. The Industrial En
terprise.

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that vc are continually pub
lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations ; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Cahdint, N.J. "1 was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affucU'd. I had a doctor all the time aud used si
galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good. 1 was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and ?iy husband heard of Lydia E. Hnkham's Vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend,
your medicine to every one and so does my husband." Mrs. Tains
Watsrs, 530 Mechanic Street, Camden, N.J.
From Hanover, Penn.
IIanovib, Vk. "I was a very weak woman and suffered from
bearing down pauis and backache. I had been married over four
years and had no children. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
proved an excellent remedy fur it made me a well woman. Alter
taking a few bottles my pains disappeared, and we now have one of
the finest Iniy babies you ever saw." Mrs. C. A, JhoKitouK, lt.F.D,
No. 5, Hanover, 1'a.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound bin been the standard remedy for f
male ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
hat restored so many suffering women to health.

Are you just as fond and tender to the hearts you owe it to
As you are to all the others as they smile and bow to you.

, FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTOR I A
To my fancy, idly roaming, comes a picture of the gloaming,
Comes a fragrance from the blossoms of the lilac and the rose;
With the yellow lamplight streaming I am sitting here dreaming
Of a half-forgotten twilight whence a mellow memory flows,
To my listening ears eome winging vagrant notes of woman's singing;
I've a sense of sweet contentment as the sounds are borne along,
'Tis a mother who is tuning her fond heart to love and crooning
To her laddie such a
Sleepy little
Creepy little
Song
Ah, well do I remember when by crackling spark and ember,
The old-fashioned oaken rocker moved with rhythmic sweep and slow;
With her feet upon the fender, in a cadence low and tender,
Floated forth that slumber anthem of a childhood long ago;
There were goblings in the gloaming, and the half-closed eyes went
roaming
Through the twilight for the ghostly shapes of bugaboos along;
Now the sandman's slyly creeping and a tired lad's half sleeping,
When she sings to him that
Sleepy little
Creepy little
Song.
So I'm sitting here and dreaming with the mellow lamplight streaming
Through the vine-embroidered window in a yellow filigree,
On the fragrant air comes winging vagrant notes of woman's singing,
'Tis the slumber song of childhood that is murmuring to me,
And some subtle fancy creeping lulls my senses half to sleeping
As the misty shapes of bugaboos go dreamily along,
All my sorrows disappearing as a tired lad I'm hearing
Once again my mother's
Sleepy little
Creepy little
Song.
Some one has said ihat when
God made the Southern nirl He
sent His angel throughout all the
star-strewn realms of space to
gather all there was of beauty, and
they threw doun their ".littering
burdens ut His feet. He began in
their wondering presence the work
of fashioning the Southern girl,
lie wrought with the gold and
gleam of the Mars; shilling glories
and rainbow hues and the palled
silver of a Southern union. He
wrought with the crimson which
swooped in the rose's rubied heart,
with the pure sweet snow which
gleamed from the lily's petals and
the lire and flames which Mash and
leap from the jewel's depth. Then
plunging deep into his own bosom,
He took of the love beneath the
i wind-l.issed w.iw -.fa mimer
sea, threw tins into the Km in He
j was making which gleams there
like some rare pearl fashioning
I and all Heaven veiled iis iace, for
i lo, He had wrought the Southern
j girl.

THE HAPPY HKART.
No poem of John Vance Che
ney's has been as widely copied as !
the one entitled "The Happy j
Heart," which is here given :
"Who drives the horses of the sun
Shall lord it but a day;
Belter the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.
"The rust will find i sword of fame,
The dust will hide the crown;
And none shall nail so high his name
. lime will not tear it down.
"The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast,
That found the common daylight
sweet,
And left to Heaven the rest."

QROUCH PROOF.
In Chicago a man has just left
a hospital whose inner works are
all topsy turvy, and yet the world
is exceeding bright to him and his
good nature radiates sunshine
wherever he goes. His heart is
on the right side; his liver is on
the left, when it should be on the
right; his spleen is on the right,
when it should be the oooosite.
and his stomach is farther over to
the right than it should be. He
has excellent digestion, is happy,
43 years old, and has never been
in love. He is grouch proof.

1 was in a weak, run-down condition so
that I became exhausted by every litUe
exertion. My druggist told me about
Vinol, and i decided to take it. In a

have gained twenty pounds in weight,
and feel much stronger. 1 consider
Vinol a fine tonic to create strength for
old people,"-J. A. Prick, Corinth,
alias.
As one grows old their organs act
ore slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges
tion weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener
and body builder for J folks because
it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the
