Facts Plainly Stated.

Did you ever stop to think, when
you are making any but pleasant re-
marks about your home paper, that
you are working against your best in
terest in many ways? Many times you
will hear it said THAT this is our To-
cal paper and don't amount to much,
ETC." You talk that way to few
people and may only influence a few
people not to subscribe. Suppose the
newspaper treats you in like manner;
of course you will raise a great dis
turbance and swear all kinds of VEN
gence. Why? Because the newspaper
goes right into peoples home and talks
to hundreds while you are talking to
one, and can do you many times the
harm. No paper can do you as much
good or harm as your local paper, and
there is no paper that is read by SO
many of your neighbors as is your To-
cal paper. Your local paper is under
no obligation to you if your best wish
es are not with it, and most of all If
you are not subscriber.
If you get into trouble you are anx-
ious for the sympathy of all the peo-
pie you can get, and the editor of your
home paper is the first man to be call
ed upon. He at once investigates
your past record, and If you are not
subscriber and have not at some time
or other encouraged the paper, you
will not know where he stands until
the next issue of the paper comes out.
A good word at all times for your
home paper and your subscription
paid up in advance may be worth a
greatideal to you.

THE cigarette has never had good
word said for it. This has not hurt
the material welfare OF the cigarette to
any appreciate extent, but it may
have hurt it's feelings. Now the turn
ing in the long lane has come. A man
was dying of pneumonia few days
ago, and it is told that he craved last
cigarette smoke. The physician said
he might as well have it as not, since
It was only a matter of minutes before
he would be beyond the reach OF earth
" distractions. The dying soldier ac-
cordingly had the mail in his coffin"
which he desired. He inhaled few
breaths, was seized with a violent fit
of coughing, and is now on the road
to recovery. The tale may well be
true. Anything that smells SO bad
as the cigarette ought to combine all
the curative powers of drug store.
