Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency Of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought OF the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack of in
fiuenza grip, and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any ten
dency of these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands Of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence Of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest, then
it is announced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side and
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as
soon as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sals BY q. r, Lere

The fact that very few public sales
have been held in the country surround
ing Elbert during the past year speaks
well for the prosperity of this commu-
nifty. When times are hard, money
scarce and prospects not very bright,
then the people become dissatisfied and
want a change, thinking to better their
condition in other communities. They
hold public sale, sell their stock and
machinery and seek new fields, and
whenever you see a number of public
sales advertised you can generally put
it down that the community in which
the sales are to be held is not prosper

captured. No damage to horses or sled,

Mrs. ID. c. Corbett, living seven miles
east of town, met with serious accident
one morning recently while driving with
her children to school. She was looking
after the comfort Of the children, and al
lowed the horses to wander out Of the
road and into the wire fence alongside, a
wheel catching on the fence and, tipping
the wagon, Mrs. CorDett was thrown out
against the barbed wire. She was ser
iously cut about the head and hands,
but is now reported to be recovering
from her injuries. Fortunately none OF
the children were injured.
A good way to test a swindling scheme,
says an exchange, is to offer non -negot-
liable note when the time comes for sign
ing. Mark out the words 'order" or
"bearer" which always follows the blank
line in which is written the name of the
party to whom the note is given. Make
the note payable to him alone, That
makes you all right. II the note is given
in lieu of the contract which the other
party offers, just write at the head OF
your signature: "The payment of this
note made conditional upon the perform
ance OF certain contract for which it was
given" Always remember that no mat
ter what oral contract you may have, it
will have nothing to do with the pay
ment of the note unless it appears on the
face of the note.

The Easx Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They cure
biliousness, jaundice, constipation and
inactive livers, by arousing the secre-
tons, moving the bowels gently, yet ef-
fectually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands OF the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause Of the
trouble is removed entirely. These ia
nous little pills exert decided tonic ef-
feet upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for few days there
will be no return of the trouble. o. r.

 These young men and their wives spring from the cradle to seize the scepter of our times-gold They find themselves re- garded as superior beings. They believe they belong to a class: and that class has it's own laws. These they amend as they have the laws of marriage and di- vorce. Beyond that class the people men and women who labor in the corpor- ations they control. These have the atti- tude of suppliants crngers and fawners No wonder these idle-minded young peo- pie who are as ignorant as they are rich feel destiny has marked them from man kind And herein lies the danger: it is well, that pr. Dix. who knows them waves the danger signal on their track It is well, but it is in vain.

\Ir. Chesterton is wise. tll

MT. Chesterton is wise. therefore, in his defense of slang when he implies that he stretches his shield only over those slang words and expressions which really give new nerves to the language. Somebody said just after the Japanese Chinese war that the Japanese were putting on their hats with shoe horns. Some of the rest of us would have been content with say ing that the Japanese got so proud over having whipped the Chinese that they were simply fierce. There you have the difference between slang which is meta phorical audacity-the idea of overcoming a swelled head with shoe norn Is a flg- ure of which anybody might be proud and slang which contains no figure. in troduces no new idea. and performs no social service except the dubious one Of making all mems adjectives look as much alike as their dress coats. Fierce ought to be canned. -Four flLsher" de- serves to be enshrned.
