Boost, Don't Knock.

The result of last Monday
election was gratifying to those
who are interested in the future
welfare of our beautiful village,
and those who have borne the
brunt of the work should be re-
warded for their unselfishness in
promoting it Money is not all
the consideration that can be
given for duty performed. In
fact it is the smallest compensa-
ton desired by patriotic citi-
izen when intrusted with public
enterprises. The president and
common council and the few en-
terprising citizens who did so
much to bring about the improve
ment did so without thought of
pecuniary reward, and in spite of
criticism have in the Judgment
of the writer taken a step for
ward that will ia the near future
result in great good to the COM
munity at large. The power
generated will without doubt in
,duce small manufacturing plants
to locate here, and when that
time comes it is the duty Of ev-
eryone to help in every way pos
sible No one except those IN
business can realize the influence
given when all speak favorably
of town, its business men and
enterprises. The driving away
from a town of many manufact-
uring establishments can be trac-
ed to a careless conversation in
some public gathering place.
Let every citizen take for his
motto, Boost, don't Knock, :"
and see how much good can be
accomplished in the next twelve
months.
We have with as now an insti-
tuition that is steadily forging its
way to the front. Each year
places it on a better financial
basis. It has increased its an
nual output of business from
$50, 1000 three years ago to $58,-
600 last year, while this year will
see this latter amount exceeded.
They are now shipping goods to
every state and territory in the
union as well as to several for
eign countries. The fact that
they are now steadily employing
eight stenographers who are con.
stantly writing to present and
prospective customers indicates
plainly that the business has in
creased to greater extent than
even its most sanguine promot
ers anticipated. If you are or
are not a stakeholder you are a
welcome visitor and your visits
will be appreciated. After visit
ing the plant resolve in your
mind that when this institution
is under discussion you will
boost instead of knocking. Your
town will then be the better for
your living in it and you will
have better opinion of yourself
for living in it.

WHEN BUDDING SAILORS LEFT

Significant Call for Navy Flip" Too
Much for Them.
Several midshipmen from the naval
academy at Annapolis were in Wash
ington on their vacation, and as they
were making the rounds of the cafes
and hotels it was apparent they were
impressed by their own Importance.
They sat at a table in the palm room
of the Willard hotel discussing celebri-
ties. They did not think much of Gen.
Miles, spoke slightingly of the marine
corps, and boasted of their intimate
acquaintance with Admiral Dewey
and other officers of his rank. Their
voices could be heard even in the re-
mote recesses of the room.

One Of the receivers Of the National
Salt company testified in court that a
certain trademark was considered "a
valuable asset" as it was the brand Of
salt that brought the highest price and
had good market.
Asked how this salt was different
from other salts sold by the company,
the receiver, hesitating. admitted that
there was no difference; that they all
came out of the same kettle. When
the court then inquired what caused
the high price and good market for
this particular product the witness re-
piled:
"simpIy the extensive and attrac-
tive advertising the brand got"
One thought suggested by this curl
Gus confession is the testimony II
bears as to the efficacy of advertising

Mother and Children Depend on
 Pe-ru-na,
 STILES REPLIES TO BOWMAN

The statement published by P. G. Bow man in Saturdays Age-Herald charging that when arraigned by him I pleaded guilty. Is a malicious falsehood. The other charges were answered in my for mer letter, with as much strength as decent language would permit.
 That P. G. Bowman cannot form any proper conception of. and cannot place any fair construction on my former statement is not surprising. It was direct ed to the GOOD PEOPLE OF JEFFER- SON COUNTY. It was an appeal to fair minded men, and has received their ap- probation. It was not intended expected nor desired that it please, persuade or convince Bowman.
 MT. Peevey rushes into print to say that the controversy is personal between Bowman and myself, and that the con troversy is not an issue in the campaign. Higdon's committee has made it an is sue. Charges were made and repeated by Bowman in speeches made in the cam paign made in the interest of Higdon. Bowman was one of it's organizers, is, and has been. one of it's most conspic- uous supporters and aggressive leaders. Bowman was one of the speakers al the skating rink Friday night, after his charges had been published and answered, and after Higdon's committee had dis claimed. He was there necessarily by the invitation of Higdon's committee. Bow mans charges have been printed in circu- lar form by Higdons committee, I learn. and are being distributed among the voters. The committee is not bold enough

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
 Disease.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall.
 It was the universal spring and fall blood purifier" tonic and eure-all. and mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit.
 The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatabe and large quantity had to be taken to get any ef- feet.
 Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef- fleets of sulphur in a palatable. concen- trated form so that a single grain Is far more effective than a tablespoonful of the crude sulphur.
 In recent years research and experi- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuarts Calcium Waters. They are small choco- late coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly concentrated, effective forn
 Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul- phur acts directly on the liver and excre- tory organs and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material.
 Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall, but the crudty and i'm purity of ordinary flowers Of sulphur were often worse than the disease and can not compare with the modern concen- trated preparations of sulphur of which Stuart's Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely used
 They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipa- ton and purify the blood In way that often surprises patient and physician alike.
 Dr. R. NJ. Wilkins, while experimenting with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form He says: For liver. kidney and blood troubles. especially when resulting from constipation or ma laria, I have been surprised at the re- suits obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wa fers. In patients suffering from boils and pimpes and even deep-seated carbuncles. l have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth Although Stuart's Calcium Walters is proprietary article and sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know Of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin dis eases as this remedy
 At any rate people who are tired of pills oathartics and so-called blood purifiers will find in Stuart's Calcium Waters a far safer, smore paatable and effective preparation.

to stand sponsor for the charges, nor with his charges. Is it fair play on IIigdon's part to say through the press that the controversy Is personal, to under take to create the impression that he is not a party to the controversy, and at the same time to have the charges against me printed and distributed without my answer?
 If Higdon is elected will he prove an ingrate to the political debt he owes Bowman? If he lends himself to Bow mans plans and follows his advice now, what will his future come to? Will he seek his services in his campaign. dis tribute and encourage the slanderous charges he prefers, and afterwards de- spise his counsel?
 Higdon knows BoWman's purpose and ambition; it is to be the chief among ad- visers in the administration of the highest executive office in the county. It is his ambition to be a controlling political factor. He recognizes that he cannot be elected to any office himself but he as- pires to be, and. if you permit, he will be ''the power behind the throne" An affidavit to this statement would not be punishable by law and could add noth- ing to a truthful mans veracity.
