Jefferson's Ten
Rules of Life
The following is published
by an exchange as the ten rules
of life laid down by Thomas
Jefferson.
No matter by whom they
were first given expression they
contain much that is good,
sound and logical, and The
Journal is passing them on to
its readers.
Never put off until tomorrow
what you can do today.
Never trouble another for
what you can do yourself.
Never spend your money be
fore you have earned it.
Never buy what you don’t
want because it is cheap.
Pride cost more than hunger,
thirst or cold.
We seldom repent of having
eaten too little.
Nothing is troublesome that
we do willingly.
How much pain the evils
have cost us that have never
happened!
Take things always by the
smooth handle.
When angry, count ten be
fore you speak; if very angry,
count a hundred.
Whether you realize it or
not,your plans and methods are
imitated by your neighbors. A
successful business man or far
mer has the satisfaction of help
ing his neighbors by helping
himself. The unsuccessful man
may be leading others to fail.
A few selfish people may not
like to see you succeed, but
most people are glad to have
neighbors who do things and
very few are so selfish as not
'to be willing to follow a suc
cessful example.
The big flood is a thing of
the past. Everything has been
done that could be done to al
leviate the distress amongthose
who suffered most. While the
losses were heavy in many in
stances, the people of Newark
and surrounding country are
not the kind who worry over
misfortunes that cannot be
helped, and they willgo bravely
to work with renewed energy
to replace that which has been
lost.
In Newport free rations were
issued to about 1,000 families
who applied for help who ap
plied for help during the flood,
but when the city authorities
asked for laborers at $f a day,
less than a dozen men respond
ed. There are always plenty
of people who are in need when
they see an opportunity to get
! something free, and they seem
to think that the only thing
they don’t need is work.
Another shipment of eighty
million dollars in gold has just
arrived in New York from Eng
land lo further strengthen Bri
tish credit in America. This is
the third large shipment of
V.nglish gold to this countr”
within 60 days, rf this thing
keeps up much longer there
won't be any more gold left
in England.
To stand around and listen
to some of the conversation
handed out at the headquart
ers of the relief committee, one
would think that the only thing
some folks don’t need is a job.
LIGHTENS YOUR
BURDEN
An inactive liver will put a
load on you that is enough to
stagger stronger men and wo
men than you.
Relieved of the impurities
that clog its natural functions
this same liver will double
your efficiency in business, in
good nature, and in good feel
ings.

The Democrats of Kentucky
have indorsed President Wil
son’s administration and declar
ed in favor of his nomination
for a second term. It is safe to
say that the rest of the country
will almost unanimously fall
in line with Kentucky, not only
in indorsing his present admin
istration hut electing him for
a second term.
The acreage of wheat will be
greatly increased in this com
munity this fall. This reminds
us that we need a flour mill in
Newark to take care of next
year’s crop. Small flour mills
have been installed at a number
of places in this part of the
state this year and they are
proving paying investments.

To Cure Malaria and Chilis
without quinine you must take something
that will destroy the malarial germ and re
store strength and activity in the torpid liver.
HERBINE
Is a Powerful Chill Remedy
and Liver Regulator
Malarial germs cannot exist in the body under
the eradicating influence of Herbine. It rids the
system of germs, restores strength and functional
activity in the internal organs. As a chill
remedy Herbine is vastly superior to the old style
syrups which sicken the stomach and possess
little real merit. Herbine contains no quinine or
poisonous ingredients. Its mastery of the malaria
germ is derived entirely from herbs which act
quickly and surely in checking the disease. Try
it for Malaria, Torpid Liver, Biliousness, Dizziness
and Constipation. It seldom fails to produce the
results expected.
