Remember the Poor.

1.-THE poor We have With you al
ways. This was no truer centuries
ago, than today, and while Plymouth
is fortunate in having only a few ex-
tremely poor yet we have some and
those of our people who are more fav-
orally situated should not forget tn
needs and desires OF our less fortunate
fellow beings. OF course the organi-
cations for this purpose al an will
do much to alleviate the conditions
among our needy, but there are many
who can and will gladly help their
neiyhbors IL they only suopIn the mad
rush for business or pleasure, long
enough to ask themselves the ques-
ton what can | do?" Then TOO,
there are ase that do not come un-
der the general head of needy or des-
titute, yet are IN limited circumstan-
ces, and will appreciate assistance rem
dered in the proper spirit. In these
prosperous times no one ia Plymouth
should be allowed to suffer for want of
the necessities of fife. Remember
"There is a giving that enriches and
a withholding that empoverishes."

MO workmen in the world can
do so much or use the same
~ intelligence that our own
American work men and
women are capable of. That is why
America is now beating the world in
manufactures; all due to the brain
and muscle Of our Yankee men and
women.
Unfortunately where there is smoke,
dirt and dust and little sunlight there
also al be found the germs of dis
ease. Natures great disinfectant is
sunlight. Sunlight and fresh air pro-
mote the growth of animals and plants
but kill the germs of disease. Air,
free from dust, such as we have on
the sea, never permits the germs of
disease to have any chance for growth
and development. 1t is in the fac
tory, the workshop, the Office, that
men and women suffer from diseases
which are in the dust and the bad
air. Such disease germs enter into
the blood in two ways, either through
the lungs or stomach. If the blood
is pure and rich, the liver and stom-
ach in healthy active condition, the
germs of disease cannot find a resting
place there to multiply. Disease of
the lungs, bronchitis and consump-
ton, are very apt to spread through
a factory where there is much fine
dust in the air. The lungs become
irritated and the germs find a fertile
field for growth. Extreme weakness,
feelings of nervous exhaustion, coughs
and colds are the warning signals
which should be needed. One should
put the system in the very best posi-
bic condition right away.
After years of experience in an ac-
tive practice, DR.. Pierce discovered a
remedy that suited these conditions
in a blood-maker and tissue-builder,
which at the same time alleviates the
cough. He called it DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery-an altera-
tive extract that assists In the diges-
ton and assimilation of the food in
the stomach-so that the blood gets
what it needs for food and oxidation,
the liver is at the same time started
into activity and there is perfect
elimination of waste matter. When
the blood is pure and rich, all the
organs work without effort, and the
body is like a perfect machine; if,
however. any part is allowed to rust,
and this human machine does not
get its full supply of rich red blood
(which acts like oil on machinery,
then new fields are created in which
the bacteria or germs of disease thrive
and multiply. The germs of grip,
malaria, catarrh or consumption find
a f fertile field if the body is not kept in
perfect order and the blood pure. No

Queer Fads of Smokers.

"Men who can afford to smoke really
good cigars have more fads than other
men you will meet in days walk,
said Broadway manufacturer who
makes good many cigars to order fol
his customers. II know men who
throw a cigar away the moment the
ashes fall Off They believe the taste
of it is ruined then. For such custom
ers l make very close rolled cigars.
"Other customers like cigar rolled
so light that the ashes float off Of their
own accord. They like the red fire.
Many men will never relight Il cigar
after it has gone out. Nothing could
induce them to. Others relight cigar
five or six times before they discard
1t. Needless to say, they do not get
the best Of Il good cigar.
Il have one customer who has q
special brand of after dinner cigars
made for him. They cost him 81 each
net and are of medium size. 1t Is his
inyarlable habit TO keep the cigar be-
tween his teeth half an hour before
lighting It, His guests may light up
with tic coffee. but he never does. He
likes to inhae the fragrance of the
tObacco-to become permeated with ii,
so to speak-before lie lights up. Then
the cigar lasts him precisely one hour"

ENGLISH WORkMEN.
Their Drinking Habits Chief Cause
of Their Decndence.

The Saturday Evening Post of Phila-
delphia in recent Issue had timely
article on Weaknesses of British Bust
ness Methods" by NJ. Martin Kallman,
In which occurred the following state
ment:
Another thing that seriously I'M.
pairs the working power of the average
English employee is the excessive use
Of tobacco and alcoholic beverages. AS
q general thing he (the English en-
ployee) is steady drinker and pays
frequent visits TO the convenient pub
lie houses in the hours when he Is out
side his office.
"True, his drinking may be mainly
confined to malt liquors, but the fact
remains and Is apparent to any observ.
ant American that this general and
excessive tobacco using and drinking
tend to stupefy and becloud his mind
to an extent sufficient to interfere with
his usefulness as an employee. He
lacks the snap, ginger and alertness of
the average American employee, and
this defect is no doubt largely due to
his personal habits"

claimed to be its originator and who

possibilities was w. G. r. Dobson,

In 1874, was prompted at Christmas to

great pleasure, and the next year Mr..
Dobso4 determined to follow up the

were received was SO great that Mr..

WIVES ON CHRISTMAS TREES
Strange Christmas Customs That
Prevail In Parts of Russia

OF all Christmas tree customs, one Of
the strangest prevails in parts of Rus
sia. A gift tree is set up in the village,
on the branches of which roost young
unmarried women, cloaked and hooded
and yelled so that their identity is con-
cealed. The SWANS are admitted one
by one, just as they are I'm our familiar
American game of "spat in, spat out"
Each as he enters lifts q veil-of course
at random-and the face thus disclos-
ed belongs to his future wife The act
Of lifting the veil betroths the couple,
the penalty for breaking the engage
ment being heavy fine to be paid into
the village treasury.
Another Russian custom is a process
sion OF children dressed in fantastic
animal costumes. One boy holds aloft
