Z\NE can’t feel well when there is
VJ a retention of poisonous waste
in the blood. This is called a toxic
condition, and is apt to make one
tired, dull and languid. Other symp-
toms are sometimes toxic backaches
and headaches. That the kidneys are
not functioning properly is often
shown by scanty or burning passage
of secretions. Many people have
learned the value of Doan’s Pills, a
stimulant diuretic, when the kidneys
seem functionally inactive. Every-
where one finds enthusiastic Doan’s
users. Ask your neighbor!

A LBERT EDWARD WIGGAM Inf- |
XX. his recent book, ‘"‘The Fruit oqi
the Family Tree,” says that our HveS|l
are largely the.results of heredity andL
not environment. In the same family1
one child is physically weak, the oth-**
er strong and robust. Efforts of the ..
one child meet with success, whil'e)-**’
that of the other end In failure. Two!
children subject to the same environ- /
ment develop morally in marked con-
trast. The one Is controlled by high
moral ideals, the life of the other is
dominated by selfishness and Immoral-
ity. How Is the difference to be ac-
counted for? Mr. Wiggam would have
us believe that heredity and not en-
vironment explains the difference. Un-
doubtedly Mr. Wiggam has made a
valuable contribution to science In the
argument presented In his book. Even
though he may prove his point scien-
tifically, it does not eliminate the
moral obligation in which everybody
shares In life for the reason that
heredity will always have to make al-
lowances for the environment in which
the contribution of heredity Is to live
and develop.
Environment assists in correcting
many of the errors which heredity
passes on and overcomes many of its
evil tendencies. Environment may not
create the conditions under which a
person begins life but Lt has much to
do with the Influenre under which
j that life is to be de\ eloped. Heredity

A childish reason^, for lack of re-
