If you like life don't squander time,
for that is what it is composed of.
A prominent minister calculates that
r in 1915 the Jews will return to the
Holy City and in 1916 the great battle
will begin. Whether the prophecy is
this near fulfilled we are not able to
say, but when we note in the daily
dispatches the arrests of the wearers
of the slit skirts in various cities
throughout the country, we surmise
that the next thing in vogue will be
the traditional fig leaves.
Col. Ed. H. DeCamp of the Gaffney
Ledger is ostensibly the most successful
financier among the boys of his
profession. The big trusts are notthreatened
so vociferatingly as he. The
latest is by a gentleman ot i oik conn- <
ty, threatening libel suit "for no small
amcant" if the editor did not retract
a state ment charging him -vith giving
too much time and attention to the
widows. Forthwith the editor apologized
to both, the aforesaid gentleman
and the widows.
<
One of the greatest habitual curses
today of our boys is cigarette smoking.
We seldom see a boy who smokes excessively
that will deny this. It is a
worthless, injurious and venomous

going about tbe streets "shooting
docks" that were probably thrown
down by a negro or vagabond with a
contagions or infectious disease. The
little fellow has a propensity to curiosity
and is prone to form the habit of
a friend, an elder brother and sometimes
a father. As a result the habit
is formed and his vitality and energy
is slowly but surely ebbed out. WheD
a lung disease sets in it is attributed to
lineage or some other source, when,
in fact cigarettes were master of the
whole job. Every parent should have

in all kidney and bladder disorders.
They are healing, strengthening
and tonic. Obey that impulse to-day

right here at home raise their voice
in praise there is no room left for doubt.
Read the public statement of a Lexington
citizen:
H. A. Howard, Lexington, S. C.,
says: "For eight or ten years I was
afflicted with disordered kidneys. I
suffered a great deal from pains in the
small of my back. My back ached
severely, I was tired and languid and
often became nervous. Headaches
and dizzy spells were common and my
sight was affected. The kidney secretions
caused me no end of annoyance.
Doan's Kidney Pills were finally
brought to my attention and I procur
ed a supply at the Kaufmann Drug Co.
Harmon Drug Co., Successors.
In a short time after I began their use,
I was relieved."
