Do you know how
To find relief from backache;
To correct distressing urinary
ills;
To assist weak kidneys ?
Many people in this community
know ihe way.
Have used Doan's Kidney Pills;
Have proved their wonh in
many lesis.
Here's testimony from thiscom
ni im 1 1 y.
Miss 1:. T. Powell, dressmaker,
52-1 Arlington St., Rocky Mount,
N. C , says: "I suffered from
backaches and pains in the back of
my head and between my shoul
ders. My kidneys didn't act right
and I could get no rest, boan's
Kidney Pills relieved ihe aches and
pains in my back, corrected ihe
kidney annoyance and did me a
great deal of good."
Over three years later Miss
Powell said: "I have had no signs
ot rheumatic pains or any kidney
trouble since I endorsed Doan's
Kit'ney Pills before. I cannot
praise Doan's loo much for what
they have done for me."

Don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills

The life of'the lily is but a Few

But to live one's life in it's fullness
women like the lily, musi be nour

If EACH FAMILY saved one cup of wheat flour it would amount to
5,500,000 pounds, or 'more than 28,000 barrels. If this saving was made
three times a week, it would amount to 858,000,000 pounds, or 4,377,000
barrels in a year.
You can do your share in effecting this saving and really help to win
the war by omitting white bread from one meal today and baking in its

BOYS COMEBACK. !
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
BY FRANK L. STANTON.
I'm wantin' to stay till the morning sun
Shall light the day when the war is won;
When the world's made over all so new
It'll be like the world God meant for you !
And that's what coming as true as day !
It's the 3ad home-word from the boys away
I've seen 'em takin' the ocean track
I'll wait till the boys come home !
O to be with 'em in light and night.
And not to know that you've fought your fight !
That you've one with the shadows that seem to creep
Over the graves where the old boys sleep !
When you feel the thrill of the old war-will
And a fight for your country is in you still !
But the rustin' rifle must keep the rack,
I'll wait till the boys come back.
I'll wait to cheer 'em- from over the foam
To the lights of hometo the lights of home !
To the arms that were empty, but would not stay
The steps of the boys as they marched away !
When the bells ring "Home" in a mornin' song,
I'll wave a hand in the cheerin' throng
Light ! Light ! Lighi for the war-clouds black,
I'll wail till the boys come back.
THE FIELDS OF HOME.
O young and bright and happy, gladsome days,
Could I call back your sunny, care-free ways
And live again those full and timeless hours
That ended 'mid the hush of evening bowers
So cool and peaceful, sweetened with the dew
And woodland song that only night-time knew!
Could I look out and see the great moon rise
And marvel how she climbed the stepless skies,
And dream again those lair dreams of my youth
And revel in the beauty of a truth
New-born and wondrous, where a widening world
Hach day new glory and new dreams unfurled !
O stern and serious Time loose thou the cords
And turn me back with kind assuring words
To those fair days again aiid let me be
A wand'rer through those I fields so fair and free,
Where breath of clover rode upon the breeze
And busy songbirds tenanted the trees;
Where jolly playmates coining up the lane
Would greet me with a joy almost profane,
And climbing o'er the treach'rous old rail fence
Would join me with a satisfying sense
Of well-earned liesure I onward we would stroll
O'er ditch and bramble, on through wooded knoll
And down the shadowed hillside to the creek
So filled with every creature shy and sleek;
Where all the livelong day no thought of time
Could hurry our young feet from mud and slime;
Till nightfall and the thought of storied witch
Would drive us back o'er bramble and o'er ditch
To where the home lights beckoned o'er the hill,
And the home call of the dear old whip-poor-will
Would bring us all with boyish appetite
To suppertime and stories of the night.
0 Father Time, I pray thee let me roam
Back to the fields and friends of that dear home
And hear those voices, feel the boyish thrill
1 knew in that dear home upon the hill.
What does this sentence mean?" j

but God disposes.' " I
A small boy in the back of the
room waved his hand frantically, ,
'Well, Thomas," said the teach- J

'It means," answered Thomas,
with conscious pride, "pride "tlwt

ry him, but only the Lord knows
whether she will or not."
