What to Forget.

tyou would increase your happi'
ness and prolong your life, forget
your neighbours faults. Forget oil
the slander-you ever heard. For
get the temptations Forget the
iault.fnding, and only remember the
good points which make you fond OF
them. Forget all personal quarrel
OF histories you may have heard by
accident, and which, II repeated,
would seem thousand times worse
than they are. Blot out, as for as
possible, all the disagreeableness OF
life; they will come, but will only
grow larger when you remember
them, and the constant thought OF
acts OF meanness, or worse still
malice, will only tend to make you
more familiar with them. Obliterase
every thing disagreeable from yester
day, start out with clean sheet to
day, and write upon. it Tor sweet
memory's sake only those things
which are lovely aud ovable.-Jef
City Democrat.

The MOTHERS PROBLEM
OF Raising Strong, Healthy Girls.


A serious problem which presents IT.
self to every mother with girls to raise,
in these days. The exigencics of school
life, the hurry and routine of everyday
duties. the artificial environment OF
modern civilization, make 1t more
difficult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history of the world.
Bows raise themselves. Give them
room. give them liberty, and they Will
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present SER
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner-
yous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, q constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem? To whom shall she
turn for help2 Each case Is more or

solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Schopfer, 500 Prescott
Ave., st. Louis, Mo-, in letter to DR..
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four wears of age, was q puDy, sickly,
: ailing child since she was born. l was
always doctoring her. When we COM
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and WELL"
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
R.F.D.5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
saws: "Our little eight-yar-oid girl
had A bad cough, and was in general
rundown condition." She had several
doctors. who could give the child no re-
lief. and the mother no encouragement
Finally, she got bottle OF Peruna
and commenced giving it to the child
and it proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried
Now the mother says she is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: lyon nave

Which do you think won7

Not long ago two men, athletes, went
INTO contest to see which could stand
erect and hold his arms stretched out
full length at either side of his body tor
the longer time. One man had fed on
steaks and chops, sausage, ham, roast
beef, etc.; the other ate heartily, but con-
fined himself to such foods as Quaker
Oats, rice. macaroni, etc. Which do you
think held out longer?
The first man lasted twenty-five min
utes. The Quaker Oats-macaroni-rice
chap concluded to stop after he had been
a. it more than three hours.
There's more strength and economy in
eating lots Of Quaker Oats than most
people imagine.
Every family should eat plentifully OF
Quaker Oats at least once every day;
breakfast is the best time. 1t strengthens
you for the day.
The regular size package sells for lOc
the big family size package costs Csc
the same package with piece of fn'
china in it in addition to the Quaker
Oats, costs Soc. Grocers sell all Of
these.

Frank Hagerman, railroad attor-

statement, denounced the Murphy
resolution as ian outrageous tissue

Murphy spoke calmly and deliber-

hours time, until he finished, he was
beset with difficulties. Points OF
order we're interiected frequently, but
Speaker Cannon each time ruled "a
vorably to Mr.. Murphy.
Serene E. Payne, Republican House

demand that Murphy was out OF

and not the attack made upon him
by Attorney Hsgerman, and there

J seat.

1t is stated that in .umeration

COUNTY AUD|TS
Are Being Made by Repre-
sentatives of the State
Tax Commissioner.

To make a public examination INFO
the accounts OF the officials of Eayette
county as required by the new public
accounting law, Chief Auditor e. A.
Dover and two assistant examiners,
George w. Beaire and Mark Kyle are
lat Fayetteville the seat OF justice in
Fayette county.
The scope Sfsthe examination will
embrace all the public offices of Fay
cite county ana inquiry will be di-
reeted into the accounting of all the
offices.
Fayette is the second county in the
state wherein an udit is to be made
OF the books OF the county officials
Mingo county was the first and last
week an order was entered by the
Mingo county court charging up over
$4,000 in delinquencies to a former
sheriff. The cost to the county of
Mingo for the audit was little In
excess Of 5000.
The audit in Fayette county will
not consume the time that it did in
Mingn county. In the latte:. county
all the statutes relating to the fees
of the officials had to be collected be-
fore the examiners could go into
the accounts and much of the time
was utilized in the preparation of
the necessary forms under which to
act.
With these forms completed Audi
tor Dover and his two assistants
should be able to complete their task
in Fayette county in much les inc.
Fayette. however, is one of the arg
est counties in the stare and will
require more attention.
Tax Commissioner Townsend, who
is ex-ofticio inspector and supervisor
of public offices, states that 1t will be
but short time before ADULTS are be-
ing made in several counties.
