SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Clinton Experiences.
Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of back-
ahce, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak>
ened kidneys prompt attention. Take
things easier and use a reliable kid
ney tonic. Tfeore’s no other kidney
medicine so irell recommended as
Doan’s Pills. Clinton people rely on
them. Here'* oen of the many state
ments from Clinton people.
Mrs. G. H. Pearson, 61 A Lydia
Mill, says: “My back was giving me
trouble. During the day I was both
ered with a dull ache through my
kidneys that tired me out and for
a time I wasn't able to do a great
deal. I waa convinced my kidneys
were causing the trouble because
they didn’t act right. I stne for a
Txjx of Doan’s Pills after reading
about them in the paper. I took
them according to directions and was
soon rid o fine annoyance and able
to go about feeling as well as ever.
I gladly endorse Doan’s for the help
they gave me in so short a time.”

HE Christian festival of Eaa
ter waa grafted onto the pa
gan feast which ushered It
the spring, and so some oi
our customs belong to one
era and some to another
-iaven't you often wondered what eggs
iad to do with tho Crucifixion of
Ohristt As a matter of fact, there is
io connection except an incidental oue
>etween the two. In prHJhrlkian
lays folks oelebrated the renewal oi
spring and sunshine at the time of. year
vhen Easter now cornea, and the egg.
with its suggestion of new life, was
the moat natural symbol In the world.
Christlaitlty consecrated the Idea, as it
were, by coloring the eggs red as a
reminder of the blood spilt on the
'roes—a custom which survives In
France to this day.
The hot cross bun la another curious
blend of heathen superstition and
Christian symbolism. Many centuries
before Christ little round loaves were
baked and marked with a cross; some
were even discovered in the ruins of
Herculaneum, one of the ancient Ital
ian cities which waa burled by an erup
tion of Mount Vesuvius and afterwards
uncovered and explored. Some say
that these cakes were sacrificed and
>ffered as an act of worship to the
heathen gods of the day, particularly
0 the moon, called the queen of
heaven.
Others assert that the eooks of that
day were as practical as the toffee-
laeker of ours, who mark the toffee
Into small squares, so that it will break
up more anally when cold.
Then came the Christians, who saw
In this breed merited with their own
veered symbol a fit association with
blester. They made their Good Friday
akes from dough first used for the
lost, and the buns weoe blessed by
he priest and given out at the end of
-orvice In church. Worshipers rever-
ntly kissed the cross before eating
the symbols, and believed that the eut
ing of one would keep them from harm
:ntil next Easter.
For the same reason it used to be
customary to hang a bun up In a house
to bring good luck, just as the horse
shoe Is set over a dooYway. In par
ticular It was supposed to guard the
house from fire—a real menace in the
days when houses were of wood and
thatched with straw and fire engines
almost unknown.
Were you born on Good Friday?
Legend has it that anyone so blessed
possesses the gift of second eight And
if you have sufficient fortitude to turn
vegetarian just for Easter Sunday, an
old superstition promises you good
health for a twelvemonth. It seems a
small pries tor so long a benefit,
doesn't It?
Another wey of Insuring good health,
which is much more drastic, but was
often prectlee<rin olden days by spar
tan maidens, was to leave a linen
cloth out In e field all night, so that It
became soaked with the cold spring
dew. Then they washed themselves
all ever with the dear, chilly moisture.
Another quaint superstition is the
rather ridiculous custom of lifting or
heaving, which is still practiced in
some parts of the country. On Easter
Monday the men lift the women, and
on Easter Tuesday the women lift or
heave the men. The process Is per
formed by two lusty men or women
joining their hands across each other's
wrists; then, making the person to
be heaved sit down on their arms, they
lift him up aloft two or three times
and often carry him several yards
.along a street In other parts the men
claim the privilege of taking off the
women’s shoes on Eas'ern Monday,
and the next day the women retaliate.

Easter Brings
Pkssag* af
Assuratur
RCHEOLOGISTS exploring
the 8,400-year-old tomb of
Klqg Tut-Ankb-Amen are
Impreeaed with the evi
dences of the ancient ruler's
belief In Immortality. Every
thing in the sepulcher proclaims his
expectation of a future Ufa Ancient
Egypt believed as firmly as does mod
ern Christendom that fox the soul
there la no death.
Indeed, the memory of man runneth
not back to the time when he did not
look forward to a hereafter and ex
press his belief In some way. This
belief, apparently. Is Inborn in human
consciousness, a characteristic of all
the ages of the race.
The doctrine of the resurrection Is
not new. The pagan before the Chris
tian era glimpsed the truth. Nature
proclaimed It to him In the bursting of
tho buds and the song of the birds in
the springtime. In fhe seasons he read
a confirmation of hla belief.
But the Christian, fortunately, has
something more than the pleasing sym
bols of nature to fortify and strengthen
his belief In Immortality. The mate
rialist may read his fate In the proc
esses of the natural world, but the
Christian finds bis assurance In the
well-authenticated, personally" con-
veyed message from the Creator Him
self.
Before Christ men merely speculated
on the future, prompted by their be
liefs and wishes. When He broke the
bonds of death and became “the first
fruits of them that slept,” He. threw a
flood of light upon the gates of eternity
that forever solved the mystery and
Illumined the way ta the future for all
mankinds
Easter, the anniversary of the resur
rection of the Son of God, brings a
message of assurance and victory to
every soul. It cheers with the procla
mation that all are citizens of the
eternal. It enables men to look across
the grave and hurl defiance at death.
With the proper understanding of this
divine message, the capability of men
becomes unlimited, for they know that
this life Is only the^ beginning.
Without the courage that this day
Inspires, life would not be worth the
living.

WHAT DO
P. S. JEANS
DO?
This Method Protects You
The Hupmobile Parts Dis
play takes the mystery out of
the motor car. It gives you
the facts that count.
Perhaps you know little, or
nothing, of motor car pro
duction. When you read on
this Pfurts Display how the
Hupmobile is built, and then
read, dirdctly contrasted with
it, what the more common
construction is, you will
select your next car with
greater care, and greater pro
fit to yourself.
You will also see, more
clearly than you have
seen, why the Hupmobile
stands up so well, and why
some other cars are a source
of continual trouble and
expense.
The Hupmobile way of buy
ing a motor car is the sound,
business-like way. And it is
a liberal education in what
makes motor car value.
So, whether you are going
to buy a car now, or next
year, we advise that yoa
come in soon and study the
Hupmobile Parts Display.

two generations
You can count on your fingers
products which have maintained
supremacy in their field for two
generations or more.
One sewing machine has
been on the market for
seventy years and is still
the best known make.
“Standard” petroleum
products have been on
sale for over fifty years.
What better proof could
there be that both have
faithfully filled a definite
public need? By doing
so they have become the
standard in their respec
tive fields.
—i
To please the public year after
year for over fifty years is a
severe test. That is what the
products of the Standard Oil
Company (N. J.) have done.
“Standard” Polarine Oils and
„ >
greases have become standards
of comparison, each in its class.
When you buy a “Standard”
product you can be sure that
you are buying as. good a prod
uct as is made. But the only way
to be sure of getting it is to ask
for it by name.
