In these days wealth getting Is SC

success that the two terms have about

Grafton. There probably never was a
| time In the history of this nation when
the desire and determination to get
wealth were so universal, and when the
popular estimate Of mans worth wai
so largely made up on the score of his
bank account. The poor man has a
very pronounced feeling In these times
of mot being In It," Outside of the
president himself, there is not a states
man in America to-day who is half so
important in the popular mind as John

Of wealth feel and acknowledge inferI-

country our rich captains of industry
look rather contemptuously down upon
mere mayors and governors, judges and
Congressman. We have need of
broader meaning to the word success.
We may keep on producing the great
est aggregate ton of money makers the
world ever knew, but If we do not learn
better TO appreciate the achievements
of scholarship, of science, Of great
work in every department Of intellect

worlds greatest writer's, its greatest
scientists and its greatest scholars.
We need TO learn. too the old. old story
that wealth has its limitations. and
that there are countless desirable
things it cannot buy.

Fun 1. a Nece.sitx.

Most people have the impression
that fun and humor are life incident
ais, not necessities; that they are lux
uries, and have no great bearing on
ones career.
Many think OF fun as frivolous, indl-
eating lack of serious purpose in
life. There are parents who rebuke
their children because they want to
have fun and go in for a good time.
These parents have yet to learn the
great part which fun and humor play
in the physical economy, and their in
auence on the life.
What a complete revolution in your
whole physical and mental being comes
after seeing a really funny play You
went to the play tired, jaded, worn out,
discouraged. All your mental facul-
ties were clogged with brain ash; you
could not think clearly. When you
came home you were a new being.
A business man, on returning home
after a perplexing, exhausting, exasper-
atlng days work, experiences the same
thing Romping and playing with the
children, spending jolly evening with
his family or friends, telling stories and
cracking jokes, rest his jaded nerves
and restore him to his normal condi-
tion.
have been as much refreshed by
good. hearty laugh. by listening to
good, wholesome fun-stories, jokes
or by spending an evening with friends
and having a good time, as by long,
sound nights sleep; and l look back
upon such experiences as little vaca.

We have learned that the Cubans
have d real national sentiment, not to
be ignored either now or in our future
relations with the island. They have
no desire to be anything but nation
They do not want to be dependency
and annexation is viewed with abhor-
renee by the masses. What annexa-
tion sentiment exists Is limited to the
capitalistic element, which cannot ex-
coed 10 per cent Of Cuba's population
So pronounced is popular aversion to
annexation that only conquest could
bring 1t about, In the opinion of army

~ Eradicated by New Skin Remedy.

Since its discovery one year ago
poslam. the new skin remedy, has, in
its extraordinary accomplishments, ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expecta-
lions of the eminent specialist who
gave it to the world. 1t has cured
thousands of cases of eczema and
eradicated facial and other disfigure-
ments of years standing. The terrible
itching attending eczema is stopping
with the first application, giving proof
of its curative properties at the very
outset
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash. herpes, blackheads,
acne, BARRIERS itch, ETC., results show
after an overnight application, only a
small quantity being required to effect
a cure. Those who use poslam for
these minor skin troubles can nov
avail themselves of the special ,50-cent
package, recently adopted to meet SUCH
needs. Both the 50-cent package and
the regular 81 jar may now be obtained
in Augusta at Coughlin's Pharmacy,
and other leading drug stores.
