CHEWING TOBACCO
MAKES MEN GREAT
Woodrow Wilson Seriously
Advances New Theories
on Illumination.

The value of chewing tobacco as a
help TO ruminative habits that leads TO
gJ0G statesmanship was one Of the
shings that Woodrow Wilson. president
Of Princeton University, touched upon
In his lecture IA the Horace Mann audi
forum at Columbia University on THE
Senate of the United States"
Or. Wilson was pointing out the fact
that the Western Senator. as a rule. Is
more valuable than the Eastern man.
because ne comes from a part Of the
country that Is productive Of thought.
In the East. according 10 DR.. Wilson.
men have no opinions. because they 60
not have time 10 think.
If you live in place" said Or. VIII
son, where you can sit around stove
IN country store and spit tobacco juice
into sawdust box you are much mere
likely TO have opinions than if you live
in New York.
Whatever you may think of the habit
OF chewing tobacco. I want 10 suggest
that chewing sometimes leads 10 rumi-
native habits If a man stops long
enough between sentences to chew ne is
more likely TO have opinions that are
or weight tnan II -he does not There IS
something N the sa Wdust box.
People who have their heads buried
in the morning paper in the morning
and ~ the evening paper IN the after
noon, have no ideas except those which
the newspapers give them. This is the
kind OF people that are found in the
last. whore the people think about
nothing else except what they see in the
newspapers and their business.
In the West this IS NOT true The
Western Senator has time 10 chew be
tween sentences. and consequently IS
more likely 10 think thee things which
are Of value 70 the uauJn."

MEETING CLOSED
WITH GREAT SERVICE

The George Stuart revival came to
a close last night, after ten days The
service was one that will be long re-
membered in this town. and was a
meeting that meant much to the town
and the people. The tent was packed
with people eager to hear the last ser
mon of the evangelist Before the
service began a collection was taken
up for the evangelist and his cO-work-
ers. and many made voluntary contri-
buttons. Something like $4,000 was
contributed. Rev. a d. Sparkman
directed the big choir and the music
was good.
Rev. Stuart, before taking his text,
thanked the people for their many
kindnesses TO him while a guest here.
and said there had not been an un-
pleasant incident to mar his stay He
felt kindly to the people. and expected
to let his memory dwell with us
He preached on the callings in life.
He said the greatest call any man
ever received was the call to the min
istry, and his tribute to the pastors
was beautiful He said Palestine was
blessed with good pastors.
and he invoked the sympathy. love
and aid Of the people for the pastors.
He said pastor could be a better pas
tor. a better preacher. and a broader
preacher II his people would help him.
He said the next greatest call given
to men was the call to be an officer in
the church. He said no man should
accept such an office without first
making up his mind to be an honor to
the Office. Another great call to men
was the call to come into the church
He said II was an honor to any man
10 be in the church. and one Of which
men should be proud. He made this

ECZEMA ONLY SKIN DEEP.
Proven BY Record Now on Display at
5ratton Drug companys Stores.

The only theory that skin disease
was caused by bad blood or a discol-
ored internal system has been proven
a false one. It is now well known
among up-to-date skin specialists that
skin disease is caused by a germ in
the skin and that this germ must be
killed by local treatment.
Dr. c. S. Bratton, druggist at Pal
estine, has in his possession hun
dreds of letters from persons former
ly suffering from eczema, psoriasis,
salt rheum, and other diseases of the
skin. He also has pictures Of men,
women and children showing the skin
diseased, cracked and bleeding, while
a few months later it is clean. soft
and smooth with every trace of the
disease wiped out. All these cures
were made by a local external applica-
ton Of d. d. ID. Prescription, a rem
edy that instantly stops all itch and
quickly kills the disease germ, affect
ing a permanent. positive cure.
Here is a simple letter from ]. Dali
ton, Wilderness, Mo: Il have used
the bottle of medicine you sent me
and am now a well man. Please &C
cept my heartfelt thanks. Your rem
ady cannot be praised too much"
Every sufferer of skin disease can
see such letters by calling at the
3ratton Drug Company's stores, and
also secure without charge a book Of
