Too Much
“Acid?”
Uric Add Gives Rise to Mamy
Unpleasant Troubles.
: an ex-
. cess of uric acid Is primarily
due to faulty kidney action. Reten
tion of this toxic material often
makes its presence MR by sore, pain
ful joints, a tired, languid feeling
and, sometimes, toxic backache and
headache. That the kidneys are not
functioning right is often shown by
scanty or burning passage of secre
tions. Thousands assist their kidneys
at such times by the use of Doan’s
Fills—a stimulant diuretic. Doan’s
are recommended by many local peo
ple. Ask your neighbor!

A* RANNY GILLM0RE l|y«d clooe
lEP to the little town of Tower. 8he
was almost eighty, but was still
able to get around pretty well. Many
reverses fcyd come to Uranny In her
day, but through all of them she bad
managed to keep a cheerful, smiling
face, and hack of that a cheerful
heart, too. .She owned a small farm
near town ami managed to get from
It enough of the necessities of life, but
few of Its tusniies. But Granny GUI-
more was not the type who set much
store on luxuries.
Her granddaughter, Margaret, lived
with her, the only one left to her now.
Margaret vYus much like her grand
mother in looks and manner. She had
her romantic turn of mind, too, and
loved to listen to the old woman as
,she told of her girlhood and how she
was wooed and won Ur^Grandfutlier
Gilltuore.
It was only when^£Uistraas came
that Granny Glllu^uYwtshed that she
had more of ttwKaiaterlal things of
life. She woultfvy like to give freely,
generously, largely, as she had done
In the long ago when things were dif
ferent with her. Kvery Christmas,
however, she did give something. Six
lovely plump chickens that were raised
on the little farm went to the neediest
families in town. And she made It a
point, no matter how cold the weather,
to drive In with Margaret and deliver
them personally. And In each home.
In addition to the gift she brought,
she left some of the love and cheer
that was In her heart.
Now. she and Margaret had deliv
ered the packages, made the few pur=
chases they needed and were making
ready for the homeward Journey. Then
fate stepped In to change things a
bit. Granny slipped as she was step
ping Into the old-fashioned buggy.
Margaret picked her up, frightened
beyond measure. Granny insisted that
she was not hurt, hut Margaret would
have It thfct they must see the doctor
before leaving town." Still Insisting
that she was not hurt, Granny allowed
herself to be led there. Doctor Stuart
was away, but his assistant, Doctor
Andrews, examined Granny very care
fully. But he could find no Injury—it
was just as Granny had said—not a
bit of harm done.
However, the visit to Doctor An
drews turned out to be a rather long
one. Doctor Andrews seemed to be
more than interested in Granny. He
had been hearing about her during the
two years lie had spent at Tower and
his heart went out to the sweet, gen
tie-faced old woman. But later events
proved that It went out more com
pletely to her pretty young grand
daughter, for when the following
Christmas came Granny was prepar
ing fowls for a big wedding feast.—

INDIVIDUAL GIFTS
AT CHRISTMAS TIME
jHHr. and mbs. BALLEW had
xUH'baen married long enough to for-
_ get wedding anniversaries, but
were atlll trying to observe Christmas
giving.
“NoW, I must give Ray something
splendid. Reverses must not stop the
Christmas giving. He always gives
me more than I do him. My thirty-
live dollars will boy him the golf out
fit, but then he would be away all
the time and I so wanted a tea-cart
with my money, so little I can give
Ray. He has Ids tl.es, soefcs. and shirts
—and they’ve never been worn—that
I gave him last year. 1 have an Idea!
HI fix up a box of them and re-present
them. He will never know the differ
ence and what we don’t kno^rdoesn’t
hurt us.” philosophized Mrs. Ba.lew.
In rushed Ray to dinner. ’‘Hello,
VI! Christmas Is almost here and I’ve
worried no little over what I’ll give
you, dear, hut you deserve the best.”
• As Christmas drew near Viola bar
riedly shopped, but always wound up
at the fnrnlture store—looking at tea-
carts. “I know what I shall do; I’ll
get the cart for Ray. It will come fn
fine when lie has his stag parties."
It was Christmas Eve, and If there
is anything tjiat delights a woman, at
that time, it Is the belief'that her
husband has a diamond In hiding for
her.
“Say, Buy. let’s give our gifts this
evening for we leave so early In the
morning, and I want to see the sparkle
of mine." Viola noticed Ray’s eyes
droop but continued: “Honey, I have
you a useful gift, something different
and one that yon can enjoy with the
mer..'* •
“By Jinks! thought Ray, “she’s got
my golf outfit. Just what I wanted;
strange we always get what we want!
I’m a little sorry about Vi’s present,
but she will he pleased. 1 paid a
good price for It.”
V!oin rolled In the tea-cart and kept
assuring IJay how much he would en
joy it, but was surprised at the happy
look on his face.
“Now, Ray, dear, show me mine.*’
“Well, VI, I—er-see. Well, honey,
I’ll have to set yours up—but It’s n
peach.” t
“A .baby-grand piano!” exclaimed
Viola; “just what I wanted, and here
I’ve been selfish enough to give you a
ten-cart.”
“Honey, that’s all right. I believe
in practical gifts. I wanted to give
you something—something you could
entertain your club with. I could hard
ly afford It. dear, but a wife like you
deserves the best—I got you—er—
well, I got you a radio.”—Emily Burks
Adams.

CHRISTMAS TREES,
THEIR HIGH COST
^|f*IE car was full, beautifully full,
almost to the obliteration of the
foliage-screened occupants. They
were proud and happy.
Until stopped. At sight of the con
stable the driver threw* up his hands
“All broke,” lie culled facetiously—
“speed fine, trespass fine, and takint
some worthless shooting fine. All gone.
But what now?”/
The owner of the adjoining estate
stepi>ed forward.
“Come here, Burleson," lie said to
Ids gardener. “Look over the trees In
this car and teil what they cost.”
The man studied the car, and then
looked at a notebook in Ids hand.
“Golden fir. rare.” lie said. Bald .SKi—’
. “Say,” exposulated the man at tin
wheel. “I won’t stand for that. I cat
buy Christmas trees on the publh
market for fifty cents to two dollars.’
“These are rare trees stolen .fron
a private estate,’’ sternly. “Go on.”
“Two English holly, with boride.-
$20; pyramidal box. $10; six simd
yews, $.'{<*. That's all, except limit
chopped ofT,”
“Seventy-five and the limbs—say ;
hundred. Well, tins is the sentence:
Three hours work for each of you, and
collateral left for the balance.”
The man sniffed and turned to tin
constable.
“A court would make It far more,’
warned the officer. “There would he at
least $”>00 for malicious trespass and
theft. Better deal with the owner If
you can.”
“When work?” he asked sullenly.
“Today. It is only eleven. You got
your load easily.”
"But it's Christmas, and—’’
“That’s why I make it light. And
I pay you a dollar an hour for your
work.”
That is why two ladles worked three
hours on Christmas, peeling potatoes
and washing vegetables, in borrowed
aprons, while one man sawed wood
and another forked straw in a stable
And when they left, two watches wen
left behind as collateral. The alterna
the was a multiplied fine and a proh
able jail sentence. It was the last
that decided for work.
Once out of sight, the car was
stopp(-d and the driver threw an am
dramatically toward heaven.
“Never no more from the narrov
path i.f a reformed car.’* he vowed. “1
costs too much." — Frank Berber

CHRISTMAS TIME
Y esterday we put away
the halls and tinsel; we
robbed our tree of its adorn
ment and ‘fcft a mute witness
of many a happy occasion.
Today another tree Is deco
rated. We inhale a balm from
its bruised brandies and feast
on a beauty of line and color.
But tomorrow—
Tomorrow never comes. It
never comes to those who live
and love Christmas. It is al
ways today!
Yesterday Is but a memory.
Today is only the great arena
of action.
But tomorrow—
Tomorrow Is anticipation and
dream. We get our inspiration
from the love and achievements
of yesterday; we gather our
courage from the successes and
sacrifices of today; and we build
our hopes upon our rarest and !['
< iiosen dreams for tomorrow. 1

I songs of the angels, but the
notes will fall upon deaf ears jv
unless the heart is properly at-
