l*» THE yeah:
When I was young and twenty
I’d run a many mile.
And when I came to thirty .
I'd sit and rest awhile;
And now that I am thirty-five
I am the sleepiest man alive.
But maybe when I’m forty
I’ll shake my legs again,
And walk from then till fifty
With young and striding men,
And hlllward go in sixty’s year
To see how yet the counties fare.
When I am old and eighty
Ali treasons will be done
Of love and silly bitterness,
And I shall watch the sun
Go out, and little heed the fear
That smote upon my middle year.
—John Prinkwater in London Sphere.
GARDEN FAR ABOVE GROUND
New York Hotel to Have Flowers and
Shrubbery on Roof of Its
Fourteenth Floor.
A unique idea in construction has
been worked out in connection with a
hotel now being built at New York.
At the fourteenth floor these is a set¬
back of a 12-foot depth made neces¬
sary in order to comply with New
York city’s zoning law, which requires
that at certain distances from the
ground, floors must He built back from
the front of the structure. In the ca.-'o
of this hotel the fourteenth floor set¬
back is a bare roof area running the
entire length of the block from Fifty
first to Fifty-second streets. Instead
of leaving this space, 200 by 12 feet
unoccupied, a regular lawn with grass,
flower beds and shrubbery, will be sub¬
stituted. This will give the occupants
of the floor a veritable front yard al¬
though some 200 feet above street lev¬
el. At the front of the yard along the
entire Park avenue side will be an ar¬
tistic balustrade and lattice work so
that persons may utilize the little
touch of green, fur above the street
without danger or inconvenience.
Longing for Departed Days!
Placid and milklike as our disposi¬
tion is, we’d barter a couple of the
years remaining in which our friends
may enjoy it if some time before we
wear out entirely we could sit serene
and aloof:
And have our landlord come in
meekly to beg : “I hope you don’t think
of moving this year.”
And let our tailor approach humbly
to say: “I trust you’ll give me your
custom, sir.”
And see our butcher slink in, hat in
hand, to whimper: “I wish you’d give
me your order.”
Vri 1 then we’d sneer kind of vlndie
tl\e-like and roar, just as mean as we
could. “Ha-hah! You do, do you?”—

Brazilian Aviation Enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm for aviation has reached
such a point in Brazil that Important
factories of France, Great Britain, Ita¬
ly, and the United States have sent
representatives to that country. These
have been devoting several months to
the study of the market, aud have
tried to win concessions from the gov¬
ernment. With the exception of Gre at
Britain, all the manufacturers have
sent machines, and there are daily
flights. Aerial service, both freight
aud passenger, is to be established ny
a resident British company, between
the chief cities of the republic.

uric acid.
The kidneys
are not able
to get rid of
it. Such con¬
ditions you

can be obtained at almost any drug
store, in tablet form.
When your kidneys get sluggish

Auburn, Ga. — ” For many years
I have been doing much heavy work
and my suffering from kidney trouble
seemed almost unbearable at times. I
had tried many kinds of medicine for
it but in vain. Finally I sent for a
bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets
and since I have taken them I have
felt like a new woman. I highly recom¬
mend ‘Anuric’ to all sufferers from
kidney trouble.”—M rs. A. R. Clack,

That is one reason, per¬
haps, why more attention is
being paid to tires—why tire
costs are being figured closer
and people are beginning to
look for better tires.
We believe that people are
entitled to better tires—the
best they can get.
Not only the man with the
big car , but the man with the
small car , and the medium
sized car .
III
We represent U.S. Tires
for that reason—because
their policy is the same as
ours—every tire as good as
you can gc. t it, regardless of
the size of the car it is to
go on.
It was that policy which
led to the introduction of the
straight side automobile tire,
the pneumatic truck tire.
And you can’t beat it !
IV
U. S. Tires are guaranteed
for life, with no limitation
of mileage.
It will pay you to talk to
us about tires, if you are
looking at them from a
business standpoint.
