We understand that the Ircndale
Gazette thinks that if it can gain Il
new press by making political
flop its nobody's business outside
of those interested in the transac-
ton. Perhaps not; but usually Il
papers readers have an opinion on
the subject which would not be
complimentary to the editor if ex-
pressed. If is really true that a
press is involved in the Gazette 5
latest flop it would be of interest
to know who put up the stuff. Such
a transaction has the true Doodle
flavor.

The citizens Of standing and iu-
fuence in this county, who pay tie
taxes which pays the salaries of the
county officials are not the ones
who have the deciding voice as to
what men should fill the Offices and
draw the salaries. This important
duty seems to have been relegatcd
entirely to a small minority which
does not pay taxes enough to pay
the salary of the court house jani-
tor, and whose vote is turned by
the payment of dollar or the pre-
sentation of Il bottle of rotgut

rr1umphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be remov-
ed entirely: bones are spliced; pipes
take the place of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are ap-
piled to wounds, bruises, burns and
Ike injuries before Inflammation sets
in, which causes them to heal without
matnration and in oDe-third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antisep -lc
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep bottle of Pain Balm In your
home and It will save you time and
money. not to mention the lnconven-
ience and suffering which such inJur.
les entail. For sale by all druggists.
