J. li. "I'atridge. Sth and Locust'
streets, says: "Seme years ago I was
bothered a great deal on account of
the bad condition of my kidneys,
caused by hard w okonrtehhrdmhf
caused by hard work on the farm in
my younger days. My kidneys acted
very freely, at times causing me to
get up a great deal during the night.
At these times I was so bad I could
hardly straighten. I had to walk
with the aid of two canes. Not
long after I commenced using Doan's
Kidney Pills, I was well and I have
not needed to take them any more.
My kidneys were strengthened and
acted regularly again. It has been
several years since I have had to use
a kidney remedy and I give Doan's
the credit for the condition of my
kidneys today. I got Doan's at
Mauzy's drug store."

To provide facilities to supply the increasing demand for local
and long distance service, the Nebraska State Railway Commission
lias authorized an issue of $500,000.00 of the common voting stock
of the
Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph Co.
of Lincoln, Nebraska.
This slock has paid dividends regularly every three months in
January, Ap il, July and October for the past 1 1 years at the rate of
7 Per Annum
and is now being offered at its par and regular value of $ 1 00.00 per
share in amounts to suit the purchaser, and presents an excellent op
portunity for the safe investment of large amounts or small savings,
and pays dividends from date of purchase.
It is free from normal Federal Income Tax and all Nebraska
taxes, as these are paid by the company.
The stock issues and expenditures of this company are under
th e control of the Nebraska State Railway Commission, assuring fair
rates to the public and protection of stockholders interests.
The stock may be transferred at any time in whole or part on
the books of the company without expense..
Adequate telephone service has become one of the prime and
growing necessities of civilization, which fact gives absolute stability
to telephone stock, ancf for a regular quarterly income stock in an
established telephone company is the most satisfactory investment
available.
This is an old established company with assets of $9,91 5.000 and
furnishes exchange and long distance telephone service to 64,576 sub
scribers in 1 1 8 cities and towns in 22 counties of the fertile lands
and prosperous communities of southeastern Nebraska. Its territory
extends from the Missouri river on the east to the west line of Adams
and Webster counties on the west, and from the Platte river on the
north to the Kansas state line on the south, having an area of 12,500
square miles, with a population of 415,540 people.
Its present revenues amount to over $200,000 per month. It has
1,1)70 employes, and its stockholders and owners are the officers and
employes of the company, hundreds of its subscribers and patrons,
and many investors outside of Nebraska.
The officers and directors of the company are among the most
prominent and successful business men of Nebraska, and are the same
who are responsible for its continuous growth and prosperity.
T,o net per annum, paid quarterly by a check for $1 7.50 for each
$1 ,000.00 of stock you own, sent to your address every three months
in January, April, July and October, is a good return on such a safe
and conservative investment.
To secure some of this stock, send your check with your order
for the number of shares you desire to purchase, and stock will be
sent direct to you, or send the name of your bank to which certificate
will be sent, and you can pay for it on receipt.
Reservations may be made for stock to be taken up within
60 days.

What is iife worth living?
A different answer will be given
by every class of individuals.
Call the drunkard to the stage
and he will tell you that the life
worth living is a jag. His dream of
bliss is contained ia the sparkling
wine and the flowing bowl.
Tho gambler wiil tell you that
the life worth, living is a jack-pot
and the shrewdest guy gets the
stake. His life is im the whirl of
racing horses, the click of telegraph
instruments, tiie mad charge of
chance.
The politician will tell you that
the life worth living is graft. His
conception of being is the political
caucus. The highest dream he has
is the dream of oflice. The sweetest
longing of his soul is a yearning for
patronage.
The hopelessly ricli will tell you
that the life worth living is money.
The thing that stirs the souls is the
jingle of gold. The sparkle of the
diamond is the only glitter they can
see. and to them commerce is simply
a means of increasing their posses
sions and civilization but an agent to
Lrirg them profit.
The debutant wiil tell you that
the life worth living is dress and
show. Iier dream of bliss is a new
bonnet. Her ideal old glory is a
stunning gown. Her field, o con
quest the ball room.
But such do not represent the re
alities of life.
Tiie mere lapse of years is not life.
To eat, to drink, to sleep, to be ex
posed to light and darkness, to pace
round the mill of habit, and to turn
thought into an implement of trade,
that is not life. Knowledge, truth,
beauty, goodness, faith, these alone
can give vitality to the mechanism
of existence; these are elements of
life.
The laughter of mirth that vibrates
through the heart; the tear that re
freshens the dry waste within: the
music that brings ehcildhood back;
the prayer that calls the future near;
the doubt that makes us meditato;
the death that .startles us with its
mystery; the hardship that forces
us to struggle; the soul that throbs
with the immortality; these are
things that make life worth living.
A man's life is a million times
more important than a man's work.
Nearly everyone plans how to do his
work effectively, but only a few
pend time in planning how to live
their lives beautifully. Education is
good because it enlarges vision, con
structs new worlds in which we live,
multfplies the possibilities of use
fulness and infallibly creates the
conditions wherein the joy and sat
isfaction which men desire shall be
realized. The man who sees only
so much electric power in the dew
drop and vexes his soul because Ki
agria is for the most part unharness
ed may get dollars but it is not like
ly to get dollars, but is not likely to
get vision.
After all, visions are worth most.
Wealth is a good thing but the man
who strives for it alone thinks
about it, lives simply to create it
is the man who degrades his soul and
who puts a barrier in the pathway
of his real life. To look upon edu
cation as a means simpjy to larger
rapacity to achieve and to pay to it
the tribute of admiration for this
reason, is to be guilty of misplaced
emphasis.
The intellect is no better than a
pick or shovel if it is nothing more
than an instrument to produce food
to eat, a house in which to live, or
bonds to place in a deposit vault. He,
therefore who would fill a large
place, rejoicing daily in living; who
would catch beautiful visions, bear
harmonious sounds, come into touch
with large thoughts and find him
self continually amid a new and more
perfect environments must enlarge
his soul in the broadening outlook
of religion.
Yes. life is worth living, but it is
right living that makes it so. There
is something to do. A world is to be
reconstructed. The nations of the
earth shattered in their ideals, brok
en in th? social and political es
tates, with hearts crying out for sym
pathy and help, are to be reinstated
in the family of . brotherhood.
Never before in the history of the
world was it so important that this
thought should be impressed upon
youth. If life today is more strenu
ous than it ever was before, it is also
fullest of possibilities of the higher
sort.
