Straight Tips.

1t is the slavish feeling that de-
grades the slave.
A base ambition makes the man
that cherishes 1t base.
Great wealth and high station
never made a happy man.
If we cannot get what we like,
let us like what we can get.
Let no man have false modesty.
1t is a thing to be despised.
There never was such being as

Economy is virtue that consists

Never allow ridicule to interfere

Wise and patient effort will make
home the most attractive place on
earth.
Nothing hurts a man more than
to seem small and iguoble in his

Laughter is an enemy to malice,
a foe to scandal, and friend to

Close observation is formed by
the unitediaotion of the brain and

No one can debase you but your

The salina Mayield sanitarium.

u The many Bollinger county friends
of DR.. A. B. Maytield, who was born
and reared near here, will read with
pleasure the following item from the
5alina (Kansas) Herald.
The Salina May sanitarium is
a very busy place these days, several
new beds having been added to
accommodate the eyer increasing
number of patients. There have
lately been quite number of critical
operations but, thus far, all are in
fair way toward recovery.
Those who have undergone the
most important and difficult opera
tlons are: Mrs. L. P. Chandler of
Winfield, Kansas, who was operated
upon on the 18th INST, for cervicaI
tumor with canoerous tendencies.
On the same day Mr.. E. G. Mont
gomery of Waldo Kansas, for hernia.
This was very difficult case, but
the recovery is rapid and the cure
promises to be permanent. Another
was Mrs. Ii. Herzel's of Gypsum
City. 1t was case of complica.
tions.
On the 18th, Mrs. Blamer, of Ben
,nington, was relieved of several
hundred gallstones, varying In size
from pins head to hickory nut,
and in almost every conceivable
shape.
On the 14th, Miss Laura Tinker,
of Gypsum City, submitted to very
severe operation for chronic com.
picated appendicitis, together with
constant hemorrage of the bowels,
caused by the rupture Of several ar.
teries.
Mrs. Welsh of Clafin, is now I'M.
dergoing treatment preparatory for
a surgical operation which will be
performed In the near future.
1t is very encouraging to the doc
torthSb these cases are all past the
danger line, barring accidents, and
in the way of a quick recovery. A,
large number have been dismissed
as cured and have returned to their
homes, among whom are the little
daughter of Mr.. J. Sutton of Mime
apolis; hers was very strange
case, being large tumor on her
heel; Mrs. e. J. Webb, George
Yeager and Mrs. w. w. Boyer Of
Lincoln, Kansas, Mrs. L. M. Tunnel
of Mcpherson, Miss Strigel of this
county, Gus, Smith of Colorado,
Mrs. Buckman of Monitor, McPher-
son county aud Mr.. VESSEL of Min.
neapolis.
This gives but a. small idea. of the
work done during the month, as he
has a good private practice besi des.
Those who have been dismissed
were, in nearly every case, critical
operations.
The sanitarium is entirely too
Hmallto accommodate all who come;
arrangements are being made for
enlargement. II will also soon be
necessary Chat he has o regular,
ekiIled assistant, whom he expects
to obtain before long from the east,
as well as to retain the able surgeons
who have assisted him, Drs. Crow.
ley, jenny and Miller, and some from
the neighborinR towns.
