BOYS WILL BE BOYS
The school board were dis
cussing the advisability of pro
em ing a library and an ency
clopedia for the school. After
much discussion, an old, tough
looking member arose and
made known his opinion:
“I think,” said he, “that any
school needs a library, but I
b’lieve we hadn’t ort to get a
encyelopedy, for them boys
would ride it or die.”
CARRY YOUR CHRIST
MAS FACE
UtfttOttttHOUHU
That popular apostle of
laughter, George M. Cohan,ha
advised his friends and the
rest of the world that they
should carry theih Christmas
faces throughout the year.
It is a (suggestion, worth
thinking about. The ordinary
grouch softens a bit on Christ
mas day and permits a surrep
titious smile to relax his frozen
features. It is such an unusual
occurrence that those about
him of warmer blood and more
generous hearts wonder for the
fleeting moment whether a hu
man that has at last begun.
“What a great thing it would
be,’’ he writes, “if everybody
in the world could tote their
holiday dispositions around
with them the entire year. Just
think, if every day could be
Christmas or New Year. Every
body would smile as soon as
they opened their eyes in the
morning, look happy and
cheerful during the day and
close them at night with a
broad grin.’’
“And why not?” this apostle
of fun asks. “It is only a ques
tion of a good disposition. If
you haven’t got one its your
own fault, and the sooner you
'et out and rustle up one the
better for all concerned. An ev
en-tempered man. with a sun
ny disposition, has got a fly
ing start on the fellow whose
father stakes him to a bank
account.”
Here is a simple sermon
preached in simple language,
language that all can under
stand and appreciate.
Why not at least try the ex
p riment? As the New Year
approaches, why not try and
leave behind all the gloomy ve
collections and evil thoughts,
accept the future with a spirit
of confidence, and, ii‘ p<
ed of all gloomy forebodings,
hug them close to your own
heart and do not inflict th m
on those about you.
What sunshine means to the
flowers, smiles mean to human-j
ity. They may be but trifles,
but when we generously at-1
ter them among our daily as
sociates the good they do is
inconceivable.
Get into the habit of 1< oking
for the silver lining of any
dark cloud, and when you hav>
found it continue to look at it!
rather than the gloomy outer
edges. It will help you over
many hard places.
“A light heart lives long,”
declared Shakespeare a long
time ago, and George M. Co
han has struck a cheerful note
when h ■ advises us all to wear
ur Christmas face the whole
year round.

With pleasure and pride we
invite you to visit the Xmas
tore. Considering conditions

ill more wonderful is the fact

handed. Won’t you come in

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reacL
the* diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that m
*5y constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and wnen it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caus'd by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall s Catarrh Cure.
