Doesn't Respect Old Age.

It's shameful when youth fails to show proper respect for old age, but just the contrary in the case of Dr. Kings New Life Pills. They cut off maiadies 10 matter how severe and irrespective of old age. Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Fever, Constipation all yield 10 this perfect Pill. 25c. at Poynor & Morrow's Drug Store

Public Benefactors.

The real estate man of the smaller towns and the agricultu- ral communities is the general practitioner and has as varied an experience as does his neighbor and oft-time particular friend, the doctor, who not frequently
 shares with him the seat of a common conveyance-the one go-
 ing across the country to look at a
 choice eighty" while the other tarries at the adjoining farm and mends broken joint or hurries a delayed function, says M. V. Richards in paper read before the Real Estate Agents conven- tion at Richmond Virginia.
 The general practitioner of real estate deals i'll farms, town lots, negotiates mortgages, sells insurance, makes abstracts of title, plans local enterprises-and what is more, carries them OH successfully, too-and acts as pi- lot through the troubled business paths of his community, all with as quiet daring and as easy con- fidence as does his brother, the doctor, explore cavity in a dam aged skull, go to the relief of a heart affection, or straighten out 8 fracture-the one viewing his profits in larger acreage deal with quite as much self -compla- cency as does the other stump of a recent amputation, both with pride in the thoroughness of his work.
 Usually the real estate agent is the pioneer of industry in his community, the prophet of busi- ness progress. The nature of his calling demands activity in his finan cial circle and it's current must not be allowed to become sluggish, if from no other reason than that the returns to him will be slow and his income much shortened. He must keep up the current or be the first to encount- CT loss. Thus he must be always doing or else there will be nothing to do.
 The work and influence of the ght-thinking, honorable real estate agent are of inestimable value to his town and country. He is the leader of enterprise, the first in aggressive movement, and the mainstay of the new pub lie improvement which it is sought to establish. He is so thoroughly in touch with his sec- tion, knows it's resources and it's capabilities so well, that he is competent to advise and suggest and direct. His judgement is based upon fact, he has a knowl- edge of the limitations of the field as we'll as a confidence in it's endowments, and he is it to counsel 1n the VarlOuS prOJectS which are constantly under scru- tiny. A first-class real estate agent is not only d benefit to his circle but is such an agency for it's prosperity and growth as is the publisher of splendid local paper. In combin ation they are a duo hard to defeat. They work together as do geard wheels and exert force salutary in it's effect Find the section which possess es them and you find one that is a leader, that keeps always to the front and adds to it's resources and advantages. Fortunate is. the property holder who has in- vestments within their sphere He has allies which are formid- able and which lead on to good results.

DAMAGE MORE THAN $lO,OOO
Green Forest Visited by Sc. rious Contlagration on Last
 Wednesday Morning.


 Jernigan. Gray and Harbert Stone Store
 Buildings Destroyed Entailing Heavy
 Losses and Damages of Stocks.
 Green Forest was visited by another destructive conflagration Wednesday morning. The alarm was given few minutes after one o'clock. The fire originated in the front end up stairs in the Will Gray building on the east side of the square.
 It was evident from the first that the Gray building and the J. M. Jernigan building were doomed, there being only a wood en partition between the two buildings, but in spite of all hero- ic efforts the fire spread to l.. E. Harbert & Sons hardware build ing and it was added to the pile of ruins. The new TRIBUNE build- ing standing ten feet to the east of these buildings was by hard work saved. Had it taken fire the flames would have easily reached the Poynor- Morrow drugstore on the north side of the street and the end of the path could hardly be estimated, as the wind was from the east.
 The Foster building occupied by Tabor 6 Rhodes millinery on the west side of the square caught three times but was extinguished. This was another danger point that was well guarded, thus sav- ing the entire group of business houses on the west.
 The fire was first discovered in the front end of the upper room of the Gray building in the room occupied by various lodges. The Woodmen Circle had met in the hall the evening before, but those having in charge the lights say only one match was used in lighting the two lamps and that both were blown out and the members retired thrOuoh h the hall- way in the dark.
 There had been considerable changes made in this block during the past few days. The Green Forest Mercantile Go. had moved all their stock, except clothing upstairs, to the Coxsey building across the street. R. l.. Jernigan had just moved his stock of drugs from the Gray building to the building vacated by the Mercantile Go. and Jenkins & Buell. had just opened produce business in the Gray building.
 The loss is estimated as follows: Mrs. J. M. Jernigan's building on the corner S3000, insurance S2- 900; R. L. Jernigan drug stock, S2500, insurance 5000; equip ment of various lodges S100, no insurance; Jenkins & Buell., pro- duce S200, no insurance; l.. E. Harbert & Sons hardware stock and building S4000, no insurance; J. c. Harbert, damage to stock S1600, covered by insurance; Green Forest Mercantile Go. on unmoved goods $500, amply covered by insurance. Dr. T. c. Ramsey office fixtures, instru- ments and library $500, also notes and accounts, no insurance; w. E. Trower, loss of phones and damage $50, no insurance.
 NOTES.
 Who says women can't fight fire?
 Everybody deserves special mention for heroic service.
 Sanford Firestone lost some clocks and other jewelry stock.
 John Mayes don't live in town but he knows how to fight fire.
 THE TRIBUNE has much to be thankful for in the saving of it's new building. It was certainly a close call.

Deep Gold Mines.
Effects permanent cures.

The deepest gold mine is still to be
credited to Bendigo, in Victoria, Aus
tralia, although the time is coming
when the Rand, South Africa, will
claim the record. For the present the
Victoria quartz mine, at Bendigo, has
probed deeper into the earth than any
other digging after gold; work is now
going on in this mine at $3.50 feet, a
winze having been sunk $50 feet be-
low the lowest level, at 300 feet.
Among its neighbors the Victoria
quartz mine has the New Chum Rail-
way, with work proceeding at 1856
feet, and the New Chum consolidated
3,S15 feet. The celebrated "1SO" mine,
the property Of Geo. Lansell and long
the deepest gold mine in the world, is
being exploited at $3.50 feet, although
the shaft itself is 200 feet deeper

VALUE OF SCIENTIFIC FASTING.


Better Than Medicine, but Few People
Can Stand the Strain.
Jesus is frequently quoted to prove
that fasting is a physical benefit, says
the Kansas City Journal. Jesus fast
ed frequently himself. He taught GER
tain miracles could only be performed
after fasting and prayer; therefore, 1t
Is concluded by those who believe In
fasting that fasting Is good for the
physical body.
This conclusion Is not necessarily
correct. 1t Is we'll known that Jesus
often sacrificed the good Of his body
for spiritual ends. He was also fire.
quently hungered and overtired.
The mission Of Jesus places the body
necessarily secondary to spiritual ends.
1t is, therefore, unjust to quote his
physical self-denials as rules for the
upbuilding Of the human body.
Whether one fasts or not depends
upon the person. If we were asked
the question, "Will fasting do me
goodY' it would place US in the same
pred1cament as If some one should
ask us the question, 'Shall l cease
earning money for a time and draw
checks to pay my expenses?" That all
depends on whether you have money
in the bank. A man with large sur
plus in the bank might very profitably
stop earning money for little sea son
and depend on his bank account for his
support, but if he had no money in the
bank this would be a ruinous expert
ment.
Exactly SO with the fasting. If
man has plenty of reserve vitality, a
fast might be a good thing for him.
But all those people who live active,
mental or physical lives and have a
very narrow margin Of reserve vital
ity had better not fast. Their problem
is not to interrupt the nuritive proc
esses, but rather to enlarge them if
possible. There are lots of people
who ought to eat more instead of eat
ing less. Those people who make a
fad of fasting are just as apt to do
harm as those other people who prac-
tice and preach gluttony.
There are no hard and fast rules
to apply to this subject. Each individ-
ual case requires special attention.
Every person must decide largely for
himself
If the blood is thick and the body
inclined to overfeshiness, appetite ca
PRECIOUS and there is a desire for con-
and stimulants with the food,
then doubtless, a good fast will be
beneficial. Throw the body upon it's
own resources. Let the digestive Or
gans have a rest. Allow nature to burn
up some Of the effete and surplus ma
terial already lodged in the body. A
fast for such a person would be better
than medicine.
But a person who has a keen ap-
petite, properly curbed, who eats only
a moderate amount of food, we'll Sc
lected, who is carrying no more flesh
than he ought to have, is not troubled
with dyspepsia or irregular appetite,
such a person will only unbalance his
bodily powers and derange his physical
forces by attempting to fast.
The best way to fast, after all, is
to fast little with each meal Stop
eating before the appetite is satisfied.
If you are not hungry at meal time
omit one meal. You will doubtless be
hungry by the next meal, then eat
only about one-half as much as you
want.
