CHRISTMAS GREETING
This is the season of good cheer.
The season of the holly and mistletoe
—the time for bright faces and gener
ous impulses—for gladsome greetings
—a time for noble resolves to be born
—a time for old animosites to die—a
time when the benevolent side of one’s
nature should eclipse the sordid side
—a time when the thoughts should be
turned towards home—a time when the
■usurping chains of business should be
ignored. A time when the child with
its golden curls, the man with his sil
vered locks, alike cry “Glory to God
in the highest, peace on earth, good
will to men.’’ These words have been
•chanted by all Christian nations since
the infant Jesus slept in the rude man
ger in Bethlehem. The organs in the
grand cathedrals have pealed forth
these words and the hearts of the wor
shippers have been tilled with adora
tion; those treading the fiowerless
paths of poverty echo the praises. The
poor mother in the hovel as she bends
over the smouldering embers upon the
desolate hearth, and weeps over the
empty stockings of her neglected chil
dren—even she hears these strains in
the distance, and her plaintive voice,
One
Hundred
Dollars
Is not a very large amount
to most of us, but we ven
ture to say that many a man
or woman who chances to
read this will say,“I would
like to have that amount to
my credit in some Hank.”
ARE YOU ONE
of the many that has that
amount, or more, to their
credit? If not, you ought
to seriously consider the
tutu re that you have to
face. Better begin now to
save something each day or
week, and keep adding to
it until you accumulate
something to tide you over
one of those “hard times”
that come in every one’s
life. We invite you to
come to our Bank and start
an account with any amount
from $1 up and add to it
as you can. This Bank is
as STRONG AS THE
STRONGEST and is man
aged by men of experience
who will give your business
their very best attention.

so full of want, joins in the chorus,
“Glory to God in the highest.” Per
haps this mother is thinking of the
Christmas days in her girlhood when
plenty crowned the board, and these
memories may be feeding her hungry
heart. Theologians may cavil over
the date and orgin of this day, hut
we will hold fast to our Christmas.
(Jommenting on the fact that The
Journal man had a felon on his thumb,
the Newport Democrat says it thinks !
The Journal showed a decided im
provement last week, because there j
was no rag chewing in that issue. To j
be sure. The man who lias several
times came in contact with a buzz saw ;
always thinks the world is brighter, j
bigger and better when he can’t hear
the buzz saw running.
All doubt a s to President Roosevelt’s
attitude toward the republican nomi
nation has been set at rest by the
president, who has issued a statement
in which he declares he has not chang
ed his mind from the position he took
after his election in 1904, and that
under no circumstances can he be in
duced to accept the nomination again.
Let the keynote of our Christmas be
love—“peace on earth, good will to
men.” Ltd those whom God lias
blesed with plenty see to it that tlieir
neighbors and friends have good cheer
and abundance to make their hearts
glad. _

The advertising merchant is the one
who does the business in these days of
push and enterprise. There are more
newspaper readers today than ever
before in the history of the world. The
newspaper places your business under
the eyes of the buyer. He sees what
he wants, and, knowing'where to find
it, looks up the wideawake merchant
who asked him to come and see him.
Success in these days of sharp compe
tition calls for eternal vigilance. You
can’t keep a hustler down.
Claude Edwards who has a position
as fireman on the Santa Pe railroad,
with headquarters at Winslow, Ariz.,
writes his father, W. A. Edwards, that
he was in a pretty serious wreck a few
days ago. He was making the run
from Winslow to Seligman, with En
gineer Lingo at the throttle. They
were ordered to take the siding for a
fruit train, and as it was passing,
some cars in the fruit train jumped
the track near their engine, killing
Engineer Lingo, who was on the ground
oiling his engine. Claude was knocked
from his engine and one thumb crush
ed off. He was not otherwise injured
but says in a letter to his father:
“When I realized what had happened,
I got up and started to look for my
engineer. It was dark and I stepped
on his dead body, and was nearly
scared to death. Our engine and
several cars were torn up and it took
28 hours to clear up the wreck so
trains could pass."

An Herb Bouquet.
In cooking recipes one very often
comes across the term a “bouquet of
herbs.” This means that a few sprigs
of parsley, a piece of thyme, a clove
of garlic, a bay leaf, and a few pepper
corns all tied together, ready to be
dropped into whatever they are to
flavor and are (in this way) easily ro
moved.
The correct test of a Drug
Store is the manner in
which Prescriptions and
Medicines are prepared.
The public has a right to
demand competent, con
scientious and faithful
service in every instance
where life or health is
involved. To meet this
demand has been the con
stant effort of this store.
How well we have suc
ceeded is proven by the
constant increase in our
business. The number of
people who intrust us
with their prescriptions
and other drug wants is
continually increasing.
The public appreciates
our effort to give better
drugs and better service
than any store in town.

DO NOT KNOW WHAT t
CAUSES SICKN
Modern People Have Many Names for
Diseases, According to New Belief,

ition;
Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is becom
ing widely discussed since L. T.
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat of life
and all health dependent upon it.
Mr. Cooper, who has met with re
markable success 'n the sale of his
new medicine, believes that the stom
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: “I am
asiced time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such a record
wherever I have introduced it. My
answer always is, ‘because it restores
the stomach to a normal condition.’
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They are
just half-sick most of the time. They
don’t know really what is the matter
with them. I have talked with thou
sands during the past two years, and
few knew indeed what their trouble
was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver com
plaint, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it, for most of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is ‘all run
down,' or ‘tired all the time,’ or “no
appetite.’ ”
“I know positively that every bit of
this chronic ill health is caused by
stomach trouble, and nothing else. My
New Discovery puts the stomach in
sound condition in about six weeks.
Mighty few people caa be sick with &
sound digestion. That Is why one
icine is selling at such a tre
rate. I have convinced mai' *
sands of people that these th .
so, and the number is gro
leaps and bounds.” over
Among more recent convert and
Cooper’s beliefs is Mr. Edgar ] river
living at 6 Tappan Street,
Mass. Mr. Hinds has this t< _uue

“I have suffered with
trouble for eight years. I was
enough to be in bed, but just land
all the time. My greatest troi ■jva,
that I always felt tired, woul^
in the morning feeling as
when I went to bed.
“I had a very irregular appejrch;
was troubled with dizzy spells on
stood for any length of time, l\

my back. I was nervous and fL„ w,

was going to happen. I tried manjr
kinds of medicine, but nothing ever
lelped me.

roca
“I had about given up all hope of
>ver being in good health again, when
[ heard so much of Cooper and de
cided to try his medicine. I took ono
mottle of his New Discovery and was
greatly surprised at the result. F
gained 12 pounds in a few weeks. I
’an now eat anything I wish, and feel
like a new man. I cheerfully recom
mend this medicine to all sufferers
from stomach trouble.”
It is worth anyone's time, who is
snjoying good health, to learn of Mr.
hooper’s wonderful preparations. V/o
