Good Advice.

Robert ]. Burdette has regal
ed the reading world with many
choice morsels of literary and
humorous products, but he new
er penned a truer bit of counsel
and warning then when be
wrote thus:
Remember, my son, you have
to work. Whether you hand lie
a pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow
or set of books, dig bitches or
edit paper, ring an auction
bell or write funny things, you
must work. If you look around
you will see the men who are
the most able to live the rest of
their days without work are
the men who work the hardest.
Don't be afraid of killing your.
self with overwork. 1t is oe-
yond your power to do that on
the sunny side of thirty, They
die sometimes, but it is because
they quit at 6 p. m. and didn't
go home till 2 a. m. It's the in.
terval that kills, my son. The
work gives an appetite for your
meals; it lends solidity to your
slumbers, it gives you a perfect
and grateful appreciation of a
holiday. There are young men
who do not work, but the
worlds not proud of them. 1t
does not know their names even;
it simply speaks of them as
"old So and Sos boys" No.
body likes them, the great.
busy world doesn't know they
are there. So find out what you
want to be and do, take off your
coat and make a dust in the
world. The buster you are the
less harm you will be apt to get
into, the sweeter will be your
sleep, the brighter and the bet
ter sa tisfied the world will be
with you.

That's Nothing.

FortY-five hundred dozen of
eggs shipped from Sheibina in
one day would intimate that
Shelby County hens also are
doing their whole duty.-Brook-
field Gazette.
That is nothing to talk about
for it is no unusual thing for
Henderson and Son of this city
to ship from one ~ to three (5)
Car loads of eggs per week. A
car load is four hundred (400)
cases and a case is thirty (30)
dozen or in other words, one
firm here ships from $4,000 to
SO, 900 dozen eggs where Shelbi-
ma is credited with 4,500 dozen.

Blue BIoOded.

New York, April 10.-An-
nouncement is made here that
the famous mare, Belddme,
foaled a bay colt by Imp.
Rocksand at the Nursery stud
of August Belmont, near Lex
ington, KY, April 4. The feat
ure of this youngster, said to be
a fine looking colt, is certain to
be watched with interest by
horsemen in all parts of the
country. Rocksand cost his
owner 1926, 900 in Eugland two
years ago, and Beldame's foal
is one of the first sired by the
famous English horse since his
arrival in this country.

How Is Your Stomach
Easy Way to Strengthen II and
Get Well.

A good digestive system, one
that acts so that you do not
know that you have a stomach,
is Gods birthright to every
man--to every woman.
If digestion is weak, if food
turns into gas, if you suffer af.
ter eating, it you are sleepless,
nervous aud out of sorts-then
the stomach is diseased and
prompt action should be taken.
W A. Ennis, a we'll known
builder in Syracuse, tells an
easy way to strengthen the
stomach and get we'll when he
writes: "Mi.ona Stomach Tab
lets have done more for me IN
one week than all the doctors
the two years I was under their
care Thanks 10 Milo ma, I can
work once more, the first time
in over year
1t is an easy thing to
strengthen the stomach and
cure indigestion by using MILO
ma. Get a 50-cent box from L.
M. Wood with his guarantee to
refund the money unless the
remedy does all that is claimed
for it.

A Blessing, Not a Blow.

Here's a good one,' said the
telegraph operator. according
to the Los Angeles Times IA
dear old Methodist minister
came in yesterday and sent this
telegram to a conference that
had assigned him to a charge:
Acts Xxx. 49, He explained
that the citation was, And
now, brethren, I commend you
to God
"Well the careless operator
at the other end handed the
message to the conference so
that it read. Act xiii, g. That
text, the bewildered conference
on reference to its Bible, reads:
"And the high priest Ananias
commanded them who stood by
to smite him on the mouth. "
