Encourage Her Home Instinct
The home instinct is strong in nearly
all women, and the majority will do
everything possible to make home
pleasant If given proper assistance and
encouragement. They will make mis-
takes, of course. 1 have yet to see the
man who doesn't. But in most cases
they can see them as quickly as the
creatures in trousers who assume to
know 1t all and will do much more to
correct them than he can possibly ask
If they are let alone. There are times.
I will admit, when 1t becomes advisa-
ble-nay, absolutely .necessary-for a
man to call his wife's attention to err
rOrs she has overlooked or willfully
made. He should always remember,
however, that it is his wife and not his
office boy he is dealing with and that
diplomacy will do more with woman
than big stick, no matter how vigOr-
ously used. Some men will tell you
that big stick is the proper weapon
for the maintenance of discipline and
peace in the household but | want to
inform you with all the emphasis that

tant thing to maintain in the home IS
love.

EASY TO MIX THIS.
Prepare it at Home By Shak-
ing Well in a Bottle.

Whit will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper
giving a simple prescription, as for
mulated by noted authority, who
claims that he has found a positive
remedy to cure almost any case OF
backache or kidney or bladder de-
rangement, in the following simple
prescription, if taken before the
stage of Brights diseases:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hali
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla three ounces. Shake we'll in a
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and again at bed
time.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingre-
dents are all harmless, and can be
obtained at "a small cost from any
good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked to
do SO. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed
in rheumatic Affections with splen-
did results, he could see no reason
why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary
troubles and backache, as it has a
peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most i'm
portant organs and helping them to
sift and filter from the blood the
foul acids and waste matter which
cause sickness and suffering. Those
of our readers who suffer can make
no mistake in giving it trial.

OVER TWO THOUSAND
VISITORS A DAY
Cooper Explains Reason for Remarkable
Average of Boston Callers

During L. T. Cooper's recent stay
in Boston, it is estimated that SIXTY
five thousand people talked with him
and purchased his medicine. This
is an average of over two thousand a
day
His success was so phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and the press. There must
be a reason for this. Here is the
reason given in his own words by Mr..
Cooper when interviewed on the SUBJ
iect. He said:
THE immense numbers of people
who are calling on me here in Boston
is not unusual. ] have had the same
experience for tn past two years
wherever / have gone The reason is
a simple one. 1t IS because my medi-
cine puts the stomach in good condi-
tion. This does n sound unusual,
but it is in fact the key to health. The
stomach is the very foundation of
life. I attribute 80 per cent. of
all sickness directly to the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main well with poor digestive appa.
ratus. Few can be sick with diges-
tion in perfect condition. AS a matter
of fact, most men and women today
are half-sick. 1t is because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach into half
sick condition. My medicine gets the
stomach back where it was, and that
is all that is necessary"

staunch believers in Mr., Cooper's
theory, is MIR. Frank p. Brown. Of 81

something very learned and profound

differences between the opium of the
lettuce and the opium of the poppy,

is identical with the other Many a

The Palatka News says: 1.-The
principle of license is wrong. It's

is talking of liquor licenses; not of
occupation taxes in general, but of
one particular form ofoccupatiOn tax.
Perhaps if would not argue that all
occupation taxes are wrong in prin-
cple, but only that form which en-
powers a man to carry on the one
business of liquor selling. But the
News ought to be careful lest it be
understood to argue that the basic
principle of the occupation tax is
wrong. Times Union.

lines of legitimate business enter

hesitancy in saying that it does be-

Hon. Duncan L. Fletcher of Jack
sonville has sent us a leafiet contain
ing the platform of principles upon
which he is to stand as a candidate
for the United States Senate. 1t
contains some lofty sentiments, some
commonplaces, some buncombe, and
yet seems perfectly orthodox from
the democratic party standpoint. AS
we were reading a UNPRECEDENTED,
care-free negro passed the window
singing "All Coons Look Alike to
Me-" and we couldn't for the life of
us help thinking that as it is with
"cOons" so it is getting to be with
platforms. There is nothing new
under the political sun unless it be
prohibitiOn-and Mr.. Fletcher is will
ling to keep up with the procession
on this question, And, really, per-
haps that is about as much as one
ought to expect from a politician;
though we cannot escape the thought
that right now is the opportune time
for some really capable man like
Duncan U. Fletcher to take an ad-
vanced position on this question and
become a real leader of the people.
When a man does this he ceases to be
mere politician. He becomes a
statesman.
