You'll feel bully when it's through.
Don't you know!
If you want to make a hit.

If the other fellow's it,

Spend your money in the town,
Where you pull the sheckles down
Give the mail concern a frown ,

If you'd used to giving knocks,
Change your style!
Throw bouquets instead of rocks,
For a while.
Let the other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would ghost,
Meet his hammer with a tit
And a smile.
When a stranger from a far
Comes along,
Tell him who and what you are

to suggest ihis same course. Go
pay a visit to some one who really
miows wliai poverty is. Inner in
to the hie ot one who is hauling
with sore temptation than you have
ever known. Acquaint yourself
as with a little lact you easily m .i v
with the magnificent struggle that
young men and women in our cities
are waging in order to keep
their gtrnienis unspotted from

Gu and see the radiant fauh ot
some old bed-ridden saint who
praises God continually for mer
cies which are almost invisible to
every one but herself.
And it will fill your heart with Inn
shame because of your cowardice,
and send you back to lake up ihe
thing from which you thought ymi
must fly, wiih chastened gladiuss

Another ihiiig-and the greatest
which saves us from perilous!
desire of opportune desertion, is
constantly review the mercies ol
God, of which every life is a com
pendium. "His love is tune past"
gives the lie direct to our craven
fear; since it "confirms His good

TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER
For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company tiavebetneuriduetinna
series of experiments having as their
nbjeet the improvement ot smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was. that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread, mi listened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called thean
"LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette,"
and offered them to the public.
The result has been the greatest demand
ever created fur any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting isnot
only most u-holcsume, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking luiptuves
meat, for example.

PLAIN QUESTIONS TOT
WELDON PEOPLE,
livery Weldon Reader Will Admit
the Soundness ol the Logic.
Would Weldon people recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as they
do if the medicine were mit relia
ble? Would they confirm their
sidienienis after years have elapsed
if their experiences did not show
the remedy lobe deserving of it?
Statements like the following must
carry conviction In the mind of
rvety reader:
George W. Tye, Cedar Street,
Weldon, savs: "Mv kidneys were
not acting as they should and the
kidney secretions were unnatural.
I also had pains in the small of my
back and through my kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me
of all aches and pains, regulated
my kidneys and did me good gen
erally." A Lasting lienelit
Over three years later Mr. Tye
said: "The benefit Doan's Kid
ney Pills gave me has been lasting
and I have had no occasion to use
them for the pasi two years."
Price tiOc. at all dealers.
Don't simply nsk for a kidney
remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills
the same that Mrs. Tye had.
