Without Painful Backache
As wo get older, stress and strain, over-
exertion, excessive smoking or exposure to
cold sometimes slows down kidney func-
tion. This may lead many folks to com-
plain of nagging backache, loss of pep and
energy, headaches and dizziness. Getting
up nights or frequent passages may result
from minor bladder irritations due to cold,
dampness or dietary indiscretions.
If your discomforts are duo to these
causes, don't wait, try Doan's Pills, a mild
diuretic. Used successfully by millions for
over 50 years. While these symptoms may
often otherwise occur, it's amazing how (
many times Doan's give happy relief—
help the 15 miles of kidney tubes and filters
flush out wuBte. Get Doan's Pills today!

Cvery expert chef knows his cooking temperatures—he
doesn't like to be handicapped by limited or uneven
heat. Especially is this true of Dad when he whips up
his Sunday dishes and plays to the exacting audience
of his family and his friends. Each dish must have
the exact temperature at the exact moment . . .
which natural GAS delivers. That's why connoisseurs
who know perfection all agree—"Flame cooking is

From "where I sit... Joe Marsh
Friendship—Four
Thousand Miles Apart
Never quite got the hang of how
to play chess myself, but I'll say
this for the game—it started one
of the strongest friendships I
know of: between Dad Wilson in
our town and a fellow in Sudbury,
England.
The two of them have never met
or seen each other—but for eight
or nine years they've been playing
chess by mail together. Dad puz-
zles over the Englishman's latest
letter, takes a couple of days to
think it over, and then airmails a
chart of his next move.
Dad always thinks best with a
mellow glass of beer beside his
chessboard. And the fellow in Eng-
land writes that he does the same.
"Almost as if we were in the same
room," sayB Dad contentedly.
From where I sit, you can talk
about diplomacy and foreign pol-
icy, but it's often little friendly
things —like a game of chess or a
glass of beer—that can make for
tolerance and understanding . . .
between people of different na-
tions, between folks here at home!
