FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1907
('ongresmnan Wallace of this state
lias introduced a hill in congress to
prohibit express companies and other
common carriers from transporting
liquor into a state wherein such traffic
as unlawful, and doing away with the
original package.
Many a young woman who deserves
» good man for a life companion, has
jumped in at a tender awe and married
n Johnny, and gone through life em
barrassed the rest of her days. Johnny
js all right as an ice cream hoy and
as a slot machine, with which to wet
■chewing gum and bon bons, hut when
it comes to measuring uj». in after
years, with men who do things, and
whose wives make up the budget of
satisfied ones, he is down and out lie
tfore the race starts. Girls, if you
must marry, and you must, if you
would be happy, be sure and marry a
■nan. or at least what is going to be a
man.
Admiration alone will not run a
newspaper. Sooner or later such ad
mirers will find that the object of their
■affections has become wedded to other
■ways that they do not admire—in other
words, a newspaper is compelled in
order to live, to seek the friendship of
those who are not so platonic in their
Hove, but unite their practical esteem
•with sentiment that binds mutual ad
miration in other professions. There
are too many men who expect an editor
to slave in defense of their pet notions
and hobbies, advocate their views
against the strongest opposition, and
•coolly without the business support
!>y which alone a small newpaper can
live.
-MAYOR OF SUNBURY
Says Pe-ru-na Is a Good
Medicine.
Hon.C.C. Brooks, Mayor of Sunbury,
Ohio, also Attorney for Farmers’Bank
and Sunbury Building and Loan Co.,
writes:
“I have the utmost confidence in the
•virtue of Peruna. It is a great medicine.
1 have used it and I have known many
.of my friends who have obtained bene
ficial results from its use. / cannot
praise Peruna too highly. ”
THERE are a host of petty ailments
which are the direct result of the
Weather.
This is more true of the excessive heat
of summer and the intense cold of win
ter, hut is partly true of all seasons of
the year.
Whether it be a cold or a cough, ca
tarrh of the head or bowel complaint,
whether the liver be affected or the kid
neys, the cause is very liable to be the
same.
The weather slightly deranges the
mucous membranes of the organs and
the result is some functional disease.
Peruna has become a standby In
thousands of homes for minor all•
resits of this sort.

The temperance forces formally
launched their campaign for state-wide
prohibition at Little Rock last Sun
day. Look out for the water-wagon!
The Star-Herald says that since the
open sa loon has gone out of Pocahon
tas, buisness for the lawyers has shown
a marked decrease. Jackson is the
only county in this part of the state
where whiskey is sold openly, and it
is a safe assertion that more crimes,
Audi as murder, robbery and assault,
are committed in that county than all
its neighbors combined, which is an
indictment of the open saloon not
easily gotten around.—Sharp County
Record. _
Who wouldn’t be a farmer? There
is just one trouble, only the farmers
know how to farm. There are thous
ands who would like to quit the towns
and cities and imigrate to the country
and possess themselves of broad fer
tile fields, and proceed to make two
blades of this, that or the other
grow where one or none grew
before, but this proposition presents,
that it takes from two to twenty years
to learn how to farm (somefolks never
learn), and within such a period
bankruptcy might occur several times
over. But if all of us cannot be farm
ers, all can admire the horney-lianded
sons of toil and rejoice with him in
his prosperity. He is the bulwark of
the nation and the salt of the earth.
Not every boy can be a rich man or
a great man, but every boy can be a
gentleman. A boy with gentlemanly
manners, who is trusty and honest
and does his very best every day,
will gain the attention and confidence
of men and will be given paying and
responsible position as soon as he is
old enough to fill them. Boys like to
have fun and a good time. It is right
they should. They will never he hoys
but once, but to have fun is not alto
gether what they are made for. Boys
are of value chiefly to make men, good
for something in the world. Character,
like a house, must have the right kind
of a foundation. The foundation
stones of a good character are rever
ence for God, respect and obedience
to parents, deference for old people.

MISJUDGE
The correct test of ft 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.

SOME STATEMENTS
REGARDING NEW THEORY
Followers of Cooper and His Novel Ideas Give*
Reason for Their Belief in Him.
With a theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines,
i Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in im
mense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In view
of this, the following statements from
two of the great number of followers
which he now has, are of general in
terest.
Mrs. Agnes Viggenhouser, of 942 St.
Louis Avenue, Chicago, has the follow
ing to say on the subject of the Cooper
preparations: “For more than ten
years I was broken down in health. I
could not sleep and I was very ner
vous. Gradually I began to lose my
memory, until I could not remember
things from one day to another. I had
severe pains and cramps in my body,
and I would at times see dark spots
before my eyes. I was unable to do
any work whatever, as my strength
was failing. I had no appetite, nor
could I take any medicine.
“I had about given up hope of ever
being well again when I read of Mr.
Cooper’s remedies. I decided to giro
them a trial, and I began to feel better
at once. After taking the medicine for
two weeks I can say that I am a new
woman. I can eat with enjoyment, tho
pains in my body have left me, and I
am stronger than I have been for
years.
“I cannot say enough for Mr.
Cooper’s remedies. They are wonder
ful, for they have done everything
claimed for them in my case.”
Another statement by Mr. W. B.
Stewart, 109 W. Madison St., Chicago,
is as follows: “I have had stomach
trouble for years, and anyone who is
afflicted this way knows what an awful
distressed feeling it causes. Many a
time I have felt that I would give most
any price to be cured. It was by ac
cident that I heard of this man
Cooper’s remedies. I immediately
made up my mind to buy a treatment
of him. I used it for about two weeks,
and it is impossible to tell how much
good it has done me. I feel altogether
different. I have more life and energy
than I have had for years. This med
icine certainly does stimulate and
strengthen the whole system. Tired
feeling and weak condition or tho
stomach has entirely passed away. I
feel well again.”
We sell Cooper’s celebrated medi
cines which have made this wonderful
record in all parts of the country.
