Columbus Journal Just Pleasantness. Perhaps just plcnsantness has not a very heroic sound, but tho human heart that, knowing Us own blttcrnoss, can yet carry Itself cheerfully is not without heroism. Indeed, If that hu man heart docs no mora than hold Its tongue nbout Its own aches and pains It bus u certain moral value that tho world cannot afford to lose. "Pleas antness" does not sound ns well ns self sacrifice or wisdom or spiritual ity, but It may lncludo all these great words. And certainly Just to start one's husband out to bis work cheer ily, to make tho hobbledehoy of a son feel a gentler and sweeter sentiment toward women because of his own mother's Bound, sweet gnyety and strength, to help one's servants to put good humor und friendliness Into their services these things make for right eousness In tho world.

Read what a North Platto citizen says: Mrs,. A,. G,. Wcssburg, 708 west Fourth street, North Platte, says: "I had a dragging pain In my back and troublo with my kidneys. A doctor diagnosed my case as a Hooting kid ney. Many a day I was unablo to stand on account of tho pain through my kidnoys and tho kidney secretions wero unnatnural.

" "I mean the temperature, at which gasoline will vaporize so that it can be exploded by a spark." "Humph! same as foiling point?1 cc Practically", And you say the real test for gasoliner "The only real test." "But I've always thought it depended on gravity the higher the gravity the better the gas." "That's a motor-myth. Low gravity gas has more kicks in it more heat units and provided the ignition point is right, it's better to use and costs less when yoa figure miles per gallon." "Then instead of high gravity, I'm to ask for " "Ask for Red Crown Gasoline. It's simpler. The gravity is right, the ignition point is right, and more than that Red Crown is always the same wherever you get it.
