Politeness and the Clock.

When very polite woman has com.
pany she never looks at the clock.
II by any means her eyes must wander
to that side of the room she very
carefully looks above the clock, or be-
low 1t, or to one side of it, but never
Is she guilty OF the rudeness of look
ing at the clock itself. When a guest
looks al the clock and comments upon
the lateness OF the hour, then hos
tess may look at it. but she must i'm
mediately. in very polite and ladylike
terms, insist that the clock lies; that
1t is at least four hours too fast. The
clock is an tmportant factor in true
politeness. Only by utterly ignoring 1t
when there is company can a woman
become perfect lady

KIDNEY CASES
IN bennington

The famed Dr. LOOMS of bellevue
hospital has declared that his autop.
sizes show that nine-tenths of men and
women over forty have kidney dis
ease, and as probably one-tenth of the
people In Bennington are over forty
thus nine-tenths Of these would ilean
many hundreds. But If DIR. Loonis
statement Is only partly correc., 1t
would show the astonishing preva-
lence of kidney disease Another and
important fact Is that kidney trouble
is not only durable but commonly gets
well of itself the first few weeks. But
II 1t has been hanging on and become,
chronic 1t is then considered fatal.
and that 1t has been SO is shown by
the census deaths from kidney trou-
bles-now over $4,000 annually. I ais
frightful annual death list also shows
the futility of the scores of medicines
that claim to cure kidney trouble.
While many of them are possibly help.
full during the first few weeks of the
curative stage, there Is only one thing
known that gets recovery In the chron
ic or supposed fatal stage, and We seilt
for it in the interest Of people here.
1t has a proven efficiency in just this
class in nearly nine-tenths of all cas-
es, and limits the cases cited solely
to the supposed incurable forms. AS
1t is impossible to say whether CIV
en- case of kidney disease Is in the first
or second stage, the only sensible plan
if you have kidney trouble is to start
on the only thing that will reach it in
both stages.
If you have kidney trouble start
right. There is but one guaranteed
treatment. We will give you the de-
sired information. w. l.. Gokay and

GENTLE VOICE A GREAT CHARM.
One Of the Most Powerful Attractions
In q Woman.


Very few women realize what an
effect sweet voice has on man.
A woman may be very pretty to look
upon, may be faultlessly and bewitch-
ingly attired and attractive in every
way, and yet directly she opens her
mouth and speaks the spell is broken,
the charm is gone. And this need
never be.
Very few voices are SO naturally
bad that they will not succumb to
training, and the voice can be trained
to be Just as sweet and gentle as one
pleases to make 1t.
A woman should speak In q low
voice. She should not allow her
voice to raise itself to high pitch.
A shrill-voiced woman Is terrible.
She should not shout her orders to
the servants down the stairs. nor call
to any one who may be In another
part Of the house. This shouting and
raising Of the voice spells the tone
and quality Of the voice and tends to
make 1t harsh. A pretty voice is a
powerful attraction In woman and
she who would add to her charms a
wondrous fascination should cultivate
. voice ever soft. gentle and low"

several others awaiting execution, al
so several who have been convicted
of murder and are waiting the result
OF an appeal and between 20 and 30
who are serving life sentences. The
prisoners are kept at work as much as
possible but the prison is too small for
the number of convicts within the
walls and those accused of lesser
crimes are taken outside to work on
the highways. Cots are not provided
for the prisoners to sleep on but each
has a sort of springy board resting on
cleats at each end and has blanket
to wrap himself In. The prisoners
are compelled to keep themselves
clean and are we'll fed.

~wHAr HOLLY NEEDS"

The articles which appear in
this issue under the head of
What Holly Needs" prove con-
clusively that public sentiment is
not dead. 1t may be sleeping but
it was easy to awaken. And
PUBLIC SENTIMENT when
once thoroughly aroused and uni
ted on any vital issue can do
more to shake up town or city
than any other medium. 1t gets
results. The mass is strong in
battle where the individual is
weak.
While The Chieftain does not
endorse all the views contained
in these articles it believes that
in every one is presented food
for contemplation which the town
council, the Commercial Club, the
business men, the newspapers
and the public at large can prof
itably absorb.
To make Holly prosper we
must take some radical steps.
There is risk to every venture.

A well-dressed stranger, ap-

Santa Fe train, last Tuesday,
and meandered up and down Sec
ond street, closely observing the
numerous goods displayed by
wide-awake merchants of Holly.
He meets Mr.. R. and remarks:
"You'v got mighty nice town
here" Answers Mr.. R.: Eyes,
Holly is a good town all right,
but come back year from today
and we will have electric lights,
soft water, more business houses,
etc, etc"
The stranger thinks to himself
There's a good fellow; / may
decide to locate here, and walks
up the street and meets Mr.. NJ,
. bilious looking individual, and
says: Nice town yon have here,

sat we are too close to Lamar.
We will never grow any more.

dead" And Mr.. Stranger passes
on his way in asruminating mood.
"Well, Holly may not be so nice
place after all. I believe I'll
look around some more"
lust then he meets Mr.. c.,
whose cordial expression causes
him to begin conversation.
I'm a stranger in town." he says.
"I'm from Iowa. My name is

hand and responds: well, Mr..

terprising town east of Denver.
Everything indicates prosperity
and we'll have a CITY here in 4

more buildings, etc, etc"
