There is a structure which every institution builds for
t„eif, It is called character, and every act is a stone in
his stucture.
An institution, in order to have a good character, must
hink honestly, act honestty, breathe honesty. The
ieople soon determine between the genuine and the
ounterfeit. They know the ring of the true metal
nd the base.

One Word She Could Say.
An earnest London slum worker re
cords her unremitting, patient en
deavors to improve the accent and
vowel enunciation of her little
protege, Blanche, for the sake of the
child’s future destiny “on the styge.”
Once, failing In all else, she tried a
mild dose of gentle ridicule. "You
can’t say ‘food,’ can you, Blanche?”
she smiled, teasingly. “I can say
'fuk'!’” was the child’s crushing re
tort.
8afety In Friendship.
An intimate friendship is at once
a safeguard In recreation and social
enjoyment, for a man thinks twice be
fore he plunges into surroundings
which he knows his best friend would
condemn. It Is a stimulus, because
In work or business, or even play, a
man does not willingly lag behind
while the friend is forging ahead. In
common endeavors for good causes,
religious or social or political, friend
ship Is a powerful Inducement to self'
forgetting activity.
Not What She Meant.
The other evening at a simple
-ocial function, opened with a game of
ards, the host caused quite a stir
mong the ladies present by announc
ing after the guests had seated them
-f lves at the tables: “If everybody’s
made up. we’ll start.” Self consciously
hey looked at one another and ln
oluntarily their hands went to their

Clash of Contrast.
"What is that terrific noise?” ask

policeman, “is caused by an ordinary

DOUBLY PROVEN
Newport Readers Can No Long
er Doubt the Evidence.
This grateful citizen testified
long ago.
Told of quick relief—of un
doubted benefit.
The facts are now confirmed.
Such testimony is complete—
the evidence conclusive
It forms convincing proof of
merit.
W. M. Shelby, Batesville, Ark.,
says: “I believe that my work
brought on my kidney trouble.
I had a constant backache and
dizzy spells. The passages of
the kidney secretions were too
frequent and I knew that my
kidneys were at fault. Doan’s
Kidney Pills went to the root of
the trouble as soon as I used
them and made a permanent
cure. My former endorsement
still holds good.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy
