The time to think most of advertis-
ing is when business is not very good.
If a man does what will make bust
ness he will find that his efforts are
worth making all the time. If he
knows how to develop business he
ought to keep at it when business is
not so very good and he will never
have cause for regret. The man who
knows how to push for what is worth
having will never have any regrets or
have reason to mourn for the lack of
something to do. All business men
are anxious to have what they can
get in the way of business.
The dog that spends most of it's
time barking is not the dog that finds
a ready purchaser. In fact it is hard
to give him away. 1t is pretty well
understood that the dog which is best
at barking is not good for much else.
There is a striking resemblance be-
tween dogs and boys in this respect.
The boys who are all the time telling
big stories about what they have done
or are going to do, cannot be expected
to amount to much beside. You will
never need very large account book
to keep track of all that is accomp-
lished by braggart.
The prevalence of typhoid fever all
over the country is demanding the
attention of medical experts who are
endeavoring to ascertain the cause of
the scourge. Fever is known to be a
preventable disease and to neglect to
use every precaution is little short of
criminal. There is talk of an effort
being made jointly by the city author
tiles and the county court to have the
matter thoroughly investigated here.
Such move would be applauded on
all hands. The question of few pal
try dollars as compared with huma n
life is not to be considered. Let it
begin at once.-Morgantown Domin-
