What Shall We do for Our Old Town.

lnterurban trolley lines are
reaching out from all the cities
in the country and we see one pro.
jected southwark from Memphis
to Horn Lake. This is evidently
with a design of reaching line
of rural homes from Nonconnah to
Horn Lake and ultimately OF
reaching Hernando to make ap-
proachable other eligible sites
along the road and to make Her.
nando itself a place of summer
homes; possibly a permanent res
idence of the Memphis business
folk. It behooves US fernando
ians to meet these moves in a
welcoming spirit and to forward
such movements to the extent OF
our power. Not only this, but
many citizens of our own state
would gladly come to us if we
could give them houseroom.
Within our town limits are very
many spots where modest or more
pretentious homes could be erect
ed and our old town be made to
flourish. Think of it, neighbors,
and see what can be done.

Habit-forming Medicines

tanning kninrisus Ingredients as broadly

attention to this subject 1t has, il a

most intelligent people avoiding suNl
foods and medicines US may be fairly sus-

dents complained OF. Recognizing this
fact some tinlo ago, DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, ''took time by the forelock" as it
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients Of which his popular medi-
cines ana composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestahed all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be-
urged against his medicines, because they
are NOW OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermose, from the formula printed on
every bottae wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
agents, tkeir ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots Of
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of oar American forests and Of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead cf alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate

EXAMINING THE DOCTORS.
Partially Educated Physicians Menace
Health of the Public


Medical examinations in this state
are strict, but not severe, says the
Philadelphia Times Certainly no per-
son should be allowed to take human
life into his hands unless he was able
to answer the few questions that are
asked, and yet those who fail consider
their fate a personal hardship. They
probably forget the interests OF the
people they would practice upon, If all
lowed to hang out their signs. Con-
slider for moment that in many other
states in this country young men en-
ter at once into the practice of medi-
cine from imperfectly managed schools
which turn them out in short order. II
put to the Pennsylvania test, they
could never practice medicine, but
with imperfect educations, with scant
training, and as a rule with little ma
tural aptitude for the work, they
physic the body and occasionally OPP
crate upon it with knives and saws.
Considering the thousands Of partially
educated doctors who are turned upon
the country every year, it is wonderful
creasing. Still that may be explained
by the fact that most sensible people
nowadays are not taking medicine ex-
cept under compulsion, and many Of
our best doctors are stronger in de-
mands about food, exercise and fresh
air than they are about their prescrip-
tons. The wife of one of the most
successful and most noted physicians
in this country complained the other
day that she never got an opportunity
to give her children medicine, except
when the doctor was called out Of
town.-Philadelph Times.
