"The purpose of th's latter law

TIMELY ADVICE TO
SOLDIER BE6INNERS
By CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER.
"BeJectedJ" It sends the heart of a
young patriot down with a thud to
have that veHlct pronounced on his
effort to be a soldier. He may have
lived the life of a hero for weeks,
dreaming of the glorious deeds before
him and the noble sacrifice he would
make upon the altar of his country.
Snubbed and disgraced is the first
thought In his own mind and maybe
in that of comrades and friends. Yet
the defect may be physical and not
something which the applicant could
have helped by personal endeavor.

PARADE BEST.
der age. a couple of poinds under
weight, maybe. Time will cure that
The above Is a pointer to boys and
young men not to worry la advance
nor forego a noble resolution In the
face of a bugaboo. It will not be for
awkwardness or Ignorance of mili
tary forms and motions that the dread
word "rejected" Is passed down at ex
amination time. Given health and the
Ave senses, every ablebodled youth is
fit material to begin on. lie may pass
the test sooner, become a soldier more
quickly and feel that he has arrived
more quickly by setting himself to
work to qualify for the ordeal.
Mental and physical alertness as well
as bodily strength goes to the making
of the soldier. Ball playing, rowing
and swimming contribute to alertness.
Some coachers advise the novice to
start each day with a bath, followed
by setting up exercises and a hike. If
the exercise is sawing wood or chasing
the lawn mower and the hike extends
to store or market some miles away
on an errand, so much the better.
Know Your Businesa.
In the American Magazine James A.
Farrell, president of the United States
Steel corporation, says:
"Any one wishing to acquire compre
hensive knowledge of his business or
of any specific subject must not try to
store bis mind with endless details
about other things. For example, I
haro tried to learn all I could about the
steel business In its mining, manufac
turing, selling and transportation
branches, but to enable me to carry
business Information In my head I
huve not attempted to retain in my
mind minute detailed data about poll
tics or baseball.
"Absorb what to you Is essential—
that is, everything pertaining to your
field of endeavor. Abolish from youx
mind nonessential, extraneous sub
jects. No human brain has cells enough
to store up all the facts about all sub
jects under the sun. Don't clog your
brain cells with impedimenta. Feed
them only with vital material, with
things that will enhance your useful
ness in your sphere of activity by In
creasing and improving your stock of
needful Information."
Arum Lille*.
A British aviation officer, who did
air service In East Africa, included In
one of his reports a graphic description
of an immense valley filled with the
huge arum lilies, over which he flew
somewhere in the region of Zanzibar.
As he passed over the valley he was
8,000 feet high, but the perfume of the
lilies reached his nostrils for a long
distance.
By means of his glasses he observed
that the lily flowers were "as large as
elephants' ears" and that the whole of
the valley had been monopolized by
the beautiful flowers. The luxuriance
of the vegetation was particularly re
markable. He learned later that the
scent of the flowers was so overpower
ing In the valley that no native had
ever dared to penetrate within its bor
ders.

Thefe was a time whett ifiti|$iBh
statesmen wept upon small provoca

to this weakness, while the story of
the long parliament as written by
D'Ewes gives the Impression that the
legislators of that (lay were singularly
prone to tears. '1 hey wept ou tho
slightest provocation, anil sometimes
their excessive grief was so noisy that
proceedings had to be stayed until tho

a C. White, barber, 1646 Mis

bean taking Doan's Kidney Pill's
off and on for a number of years
and they have never failed to do
good work. Standing In one posi

and kidneys. At times I could
hardly stand up straight. After I
had <aken a box or two of Doan's
