John D. -ockefeller, Jr., told his
Bible class on last Sunday that the
0110 thing above all others he admired
his father for was that "In the great
business he had built u,i he apliled
the lrinei ple ol' sicking to that bltsi
ness and building it up. Ile I has never
attempted to go into a thousand oth
er undertakings il whiclh he has been
offered mially attr1active OlpIortuii
ties."
We do not know what oteii good
things Mr. lRockefeller said to his
class of church workers, but we are
ready to concede that lie preached a
great sermon il the few vords we
have quoted. 'l'he old saying abolit a
jack-of-all-tradecs, beiig good at iotne,
we all recall, 'but in spite of that
logic we see wreeks alonag life's pike
at every milepost, al h because tie
failure attempted too .imany things,
aild accoinplished nothing.

Have you a sharp -pain or a dull

Do you realize that it's often a timely
sign ofi kidney weakness? Prompt
treatment is a safeguard against more
serious kidney troubles. Use Doan's
1Kidney -Pills. Profit Iby a 'Laurens

Mrs. Ada Laurens, 532 'E. Main St.,
says: "My kidneys gave me a great
deal of trouble. Mornings I felt tired
out and had little energy to begin my
(lays work.. My head felt heavy'and
peculiar and there was a dull achei
across my kidneys. When I stooped
my back hurt severely. My kidneys
did not act right and I felt miserable.
Another member of tho family advised
me to try IDoan's Kidney Pills. Doan's
cured me of all the trouble."
