IPve been watching a woodpecker up) on a dead limb, He was picking a hole to build a nest -in; And, as I watched him, ho went on with his work H~e labored so faithful, and never did shirk. And na he worked on, he, to me, seem ed to say: "Watch how I do it and do the same way." And as he picked on with his sharp little bill .H'nee gave up, but kept picking He had 'planned out his work and he knew whst to do, So he kept hammering away with a rnenlar t..ttna DOES YOUR BACK ACNE? It's usually a sign of sick kidneys, especially if the kidney action is dis ordered, passages scanty or too fre quent. Don't wait for more serious troubles. Begin using Doan's Kid ney Pills. Read this Manning testi mony. W. R. White, S. Boundry St., says: "I suffered, with kidney trouble for some years. I would have to get up a good deal during the night to pass the kidney secretions which were highly colored and contained a brick dust-like sediment. I suffered con stantly with backache and there were sharp pains across my loins. My back ached badly and I certainly was mn misery. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they gave me rnlendid relief making me feel better in every way.' NEARLY TEN YEARS LATER, Mr. White said: "It is always a pleasure to recommend Doan's. I found them the only remedy that did me any good, in fact, Doan's cured me of all kidney trouble." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Mil burn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. To complete his task with the least possible delay, He stuck on the job, working (lay af ter (lay. A home he must have to take care of his young, And to keep any scandal from the gos siper's tongue. So he kept picking away from morn ing till night, He seemed not to tire and he worked with his might; Each day you could see he wa.s getting ahead, And the work was all (lone by using his head. The time soon came when the home was complete, The family moved in, and it all was so neat. Then the woodpecker rested and saw things progress; Soon there came little ones to feed and caress; And now he is happy, for, as I said, The work was done by using his head. If you he-ve loved ones you know must be fed, Think of the woodpecker that uses his head; Don't waste your time or throw it away, But put something aside for that old rainy dlay; For, like the woodpecker, whose top knot is red, If you want your own home you must use your own head.

A MIRACLE Do you believe the age of miracles has passed? Then read the story of Ruby Miller. Ruby Miller was born at Columbia S. C. At the age of two years, as the result of an attack of scarlet fev er, she lost her hearing and her eye sight. Her parents kept her with them until she was six years old, and was then persuaded to send her to Cedar Spring, the South Carolina school for the deaf and blind. By this time she had forgotten the few words she had learned when she was strick en, and vas, in truth, but a little animal, incapable of expressing any want or need. Skilled, devoted teachers took her m charge. They made slow progress at first, and in fact made no progress at all for more than a year. But fin ally they penetrated the double veil, and behind the darkness and the sil ence they foundi a living, loving hu man soul and began to develop it. Ruby Miller is now about sixteen years old. She is as well educated as most girls of her age. She reads and writes proficiently; She has some knowledge of music; she knows his tory and geography and mathematics; and above all she is happy in being alive. She talks with her vocal cords, having learned to do so holding her fingers on the lips and throat of others who were talking. Her friends talk to her by means of the finger al phabet. She ia a well developed, normal, happy girl, with the exception that she cannot see and she cannot hear any soun(. She has the same feeline : as other girls of her age. She knowe love and Jealousy and fear, and hatred--not of persons but of evil things. Do you know any greater miracle ever wrought than this in the ease of this little deaf and blind girl ? Was any greater th inmg ever done than to awaken a human soul in darkness a w'l silence and develop it and bring into harmony with the world and to an understanding of God's love? Truly, the loving, pat ient teachers at Cedar Spring have wrought a niracle. GROUP INSURANCE The South Carolina Methodist, Con ference, at its recent annual session, decided to insure the life of each on its members for $2,000, under the group of citizens in a town or on ia rural community. Every mia n, especially the man who has others deJlendent upon his effort. should carry life insurance. Safec insurance, at the lowest cost, is what most. of us are looking for. The group system of insurance, but recently introduced, would seem to be worth looking into.

STUKES, Cash FREIGHT AND PASSENGER RATES COME DOWN On January 1, 1922, passengers and shippers will realize a very substan tial reduction in the amount paid for freight and passenger transportation on account of the removal of the tax on transportation effective on that dpte. Under the provisions of the new re venue law it is estimated that the elimination of this tax will result in a saving to passengers and shippers using the Atlantic Coast Line Rail. road of approximately $2,200,000.00 annually. This estimate covers a saving to passengers of $1,1,000,000, 00 and to shippers of freight of $1, 100,000.00 based on freight and pas senger revenues for the current year. Instructions have been issued to agents and others concerned provid ing that no tax on freight or passeng er transportation furnished on or after January 1, 1922, will be charg ed. Tickets for transportation may be purchased at any time during the re mainder of the present year without the payment of nny tax provided the transportation service is not perform ed until 1922. The assessing and collection of this transportation tax for the Govern ernment has required each railroad to act as a Government tax collector and to make a strict accounting for all the money collected and turned over to the Government. No benefit whatsoever has accrued to the rail road companies from the collection of this tax.
