The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says: ''One of the objects of the law IS to inform the consumer of the pres ence of certain harmful drugs in medicines. The law requires that the amount of chloroform, opium, morphine, and other habit forming drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. The manu- lecturers of Chamberlain $ Cough Remedy have always claimed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim IS now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label. This remedy is pot only one of the safest, but one of the best ln use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question during the many years 1t has been in general use. For sale by all druggists and dealers.

THE "GAME OF BUSINESS"

So lngrained is tue love of sport-of playing the game-that most business who really amount to much incorporate, in their manage ment of things. certain clements of contest and struggle.
 To "beat last years record" is the hope of every hustling business man-to accomplish more-to build up, to win-to push the enter prise further along toward the goal than ever before-are the motives which inpel to struggle, to scheme, to up reserves of en- ergy, of money, of ideas.
 During the year to business houses in this town going to establish new records, new high water marks, i'll vol ume oi business done, and net profits. Others are going to fall behind the records of 1908.
 No merchant is going to do more business in 1909 than he did in 1908 unless he does more and better advertising. That's not guess-work; it's not nonsense. It's merely one of ''the rules of the game of business and you can't win at any game unless you play according to the rules.

UNDER SEALED ORDERS.

Out she swung from her moorings
 And over the harbor bar: As the moon was slowly rising
 She faded from sight afar. And we traced her gleaming canvass.
 By the twinkling evening star None knew the port she sailed for.
 Nor whither her cruise would be; Her future course was shrouded
 In silence and mystery: She was sailing under sealed orders, D To be opened out at sea. So souls, cut off from moorings
 Go drifting into the night. Darkness before and around them.
 With scarce glimmer of light; They are acting under sealed orders. And are sailing by faith, not sight Keeping the line of duty
 Through good and evil report. They shall ride the storms out safely.
 Be the passage long or short; For the ship that carries Gods orders Shall anchor at last i'll pert.-Ex.

 People go to church and sing praises to God handicapped to such an extent with tight-aced corsets that makes their voices sound more like the squeal of dying pig than of sincere praise.

When locomotive has a steep grade to climb the engineer turns steam. When the successful manager of any business business getting dull and conditions such they should not be, he turns on more steam He advertises, he talks his business he imparts enthusiasm to his employees, and as result he climbs the grade with but little difficulty. How would 1t have been had he shut off steam by dropping his adver- using sat down and began talking hard-tmes and should chance customer come in, meet him at the door with woe-begone countenance that would repel instead of attract. Naturally that mans business would still be at the bottom of the grade, and when good times come and he has the cour- age to attempt to put on little steam, he finds that he has been distaneed by his competitors, who have already climbed the grade and are on a level track with smooth running.
 The Bentonville Democrat doesn't like the sys- tenn of granting pardons by the governor and the Democrat says:
 The pardon last week Of Robert
 Threet, who convicted of murder in
 the second degree at the last term of the
 circuit court of this county and sentene-
 ed to the penitentiary for four years, is
 ample evidence that board of pardons
 IS badly needed in this state This man
 had fair and impartial trial of his case
 and was represented by good legal
 talent IS to be found in this part of
 the state, and for one little politician to
 be allowed to set aside the verdict of the
 courts is preposterous. It is high time
 such outrageous pratlces cheekmated,
 else ere long every man will be law
 unto himself and anarchy riot
 tl1roug bout the land.

 The write up of Tontitown, which appeared in the January number of Everybodys Magazine, makes very creditable showing for that t1riv- ing locality. Naturally, Rev. Father Bandini, who has been the guiding and controlling spirit since the settlement was formed, comes Tn for a good share of praise, all of which is no doubt well deserved. There are some statements in connection with the article that may be some what overdrawn, but it will prove big advertise ment for Tontitown, and incidentally Springdale comes in for a little free advertising.
