WHO DID TIP

A stranger in town this week said he had been told that Mena was "dead". Me had come from far-off Dakota, searching for place where he could escape the long. cruel win ters, and came here to buy a home. He had never heard of Mena being "dead" until he got here and some dyspeptic, soured, disgruntled "knocker" got to him. He saw no indications of anything but pretty, live, prosperous city with beautiful country around, with pure air, in vigorating, health-giving breezes, good water and evidences of good crops and prosperity.
 But some jay told him Mena was mo account" any more. It was deadl Maybe the very one who is guilty is a man whose own property is dependent upon the push and life and vigor of the citizens of Mena and those who desire to come and share the blessings that are here,
 But he said "Mena was dead"
 To shame with such. They belong down in the mosquito infested, ma laria infected swamps from which men flee to find health and peace and prosperity in a chosen spot on Gods footstool-up in the Ozarks of Polk county. Arkansas. of which beautiful Mena is the bright, central setting.
 All the dead" in Mena is in the minds of the dead ones-dead but not buried.
 If you can't say good word for the city in which you live, keep still.
 Stand up for Mena and it will stand up for you.

To Stamp Out Colds.

Boston-In line with it's efforts to aid, as far as possible, the surpres- sion of common colds, the committee on prevention of diseases, of the chamber of commerce, has compiled a statement of the causes of colds and a few rules which will aid in avoiding them, as follows:
 Colds are contagious. They are caused by germs. You catch cold just as you catch diphtheria. The germs of colds are spread from the nose andamouth of one person to an- other.
 Draughts, wet feet, chilling of the body and sudden changes of tempera- ture will not in themselves cause a cold (stiff neck and other muscular pains are not here included). These condition may weaken the the body, help the germs, favor the develop nient of colds and make them worse. 1t is worth noting that arctic ex- plorers never suffer from colds until they become infected from their fel-

Temperance a Health Problem.

The keynote of the new spirit in temperance teaching was sounded the other day by Dr. George w. Webster, President of the Illinois Board of Health, when he said:
 More map be accomplished by
 teaching the people the truth in
 regard 10 the fdtal effects of dlco-
 hoi upon mental and physical eff
 cieHcD than bg expdtfdtfng on the
 moral DickedHess Of dyfnkiag.'
 This is doctrine which everybody interested in the genuine develop raent of temperance would do well to bear in mind. Long-haired ora tors who come around and grow eloquent oven drunkard's graves and blighted homes and deserted wives may or may not do permanent good. If drinking is sin then it's sin because it injures man, and if a temperance advocate is to accom- plish any permanent good he must show just how it injures a man. Life insurance tables show that man of thirty stands 25 per cent better chance to live to be seventy if he doesn't drink-and one demonstrated statistical fact like this outweighs all the eloquent generalities in Ten Nights in Bar-Room. ."-Starkville (Miss.) Progressive Farmer and Gazette.

Reflections of a Philosopher.

From the Sayings of Confuclus.
 Have no friends not equal to your self.
 The accomplished scholar is not a utensil.
 Learning without thought is labor lost. Thought without learning is perilous.
 Fine words and an insinuating ap- pearance are seldom associated with true virtue.
 To rule country there must be reverent attention to business. sim cerity, economy in expenditure and love for men.
 He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the North Polar star, which keeps it's place and all the stars turn tow ard it.
 At fifteen 1 had my mind bent on learning. At thirty I stood firm At forty l had no doubts. At fifty l knew the decrees of Heaven. At sixty my ear was an obedient organ for the reception of truth. At sev- enty l could follow what my heart desired without transgressing what was right.
The Mena weekly star., 1910-10-13

To thee, my Master, l offer my prayer. Feed. water and care for me; and, when the days work is done. provide me with shelter and a clean dry bed.
 Always be kind to me. Pet me sometimes, that 1 may serve you the more gladly and learn to love you. Do not jerk the reins, and do not whip me when going up- hill. Never strike, beat or kick me when l do not understand what you want, but give me a chance to understand you. Watch me and if 1 fail to do your bidding. see if something is not wrong with my harness or feet.
 Do not over load me, or hitch me where water will drip on me. Keep me will shod. Examine my teeth when I do not eat, 1 may have an Liberated tooth, and that, you know is very painful. Do not tie or check my head in an un- natural position or take away my best defense against flies and mosquitoes by cutting off my mane or tail.
 I cannot tell you when I am thirsty; so give me clean, cool water often. 1 cannot tell you in words when I am sick; so watch me and by signs you may know my condition. Give me all pos sible shelter from the hot sun, and put a blanket on me, not when 1 am working, but when 1 am to stand in the cold. Never put frosty bit in my mouth; first warm it by holding it moment in your hands.
 try to carry you and your bur dens without a murmur and wait patiently for you long hours of the day or night. Without the power to choose my shoes or path, sometimes fall on the hard pave ments, and l must be ready at any moment to lose my life in your service.
 And finally, Oh, master, when my useful strengths gone, do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some human brute, to be slowly tortured and starved to death; but do thou, master, take my life in the kindest way, and your God will reward you here and hereafter. Amen.

Fruit Is Making Us Stronger.

Fruit is dolng a great deal to make our modern life sweeter and stronger. Every sort that I have named, both in the North and the South. is on the road to betterment, and we are mov- ing forward and upward with our food. Slowly but surely we are be- coming vegetarians, not vegetable arians, but eaters of nuts, fruits and cereals, as we'll as vegetables, in preference to meat. It is hopeful sign when a nation works through it's government, as our is working, along this line of creative improve ment. Anyone can become creator. and while he immortalizes his name, can bless the whole human family with new kind of food. Outing.

The Common Tasks.

Colonel Roosevelt may or may not be genius. Who is to say? He has often said in private that he is not, and Saturday he said it in public.
 T have never gotten anything in my life by an unusual display of genius" he told an audience at Rome, Ga, "or even by an unusual display of talent. Whatever I got always came through doing a num- Der of things just as hard as I knew how" But if genius has been cor rectly defined as the capacity for hard work. then Colonel Roosevelt is genius, for he possesses this ca pacity in an extraordinary degree. There is certainly something of the genius in his ability to grasp things quickly and to work out large number of plans at the same time.
 Nevertheless, the central theme of Roosevelt's admonition and teaching is the dignity of the common task. He has talked on this theme ever since he has been in public life. And it does not take genius to accomplish good results along right lines by hard application. N doubt many of Mir. RooseveIt's opponents have displayed much greater genius in fortifying themselves against him

lowmen on their return to civiliza- tion.
 Do not get close to others who have colds.
 Do not use handkerchiefs, towels and cups that have been used by peo- pie who have colds. Even though you did not get your cold from your neighbor, don't pass it on. Do not sneeze or cough except in- to your handkerchief. Do not spit on the floor: to do so may spread colds, tuberculosis and other diseases.
 Do not neglect a cold. It may lead to serious complications. Dur ing the first few days. if you have fever, stay in bed. This will help you and protect others from getting your cold. Take a laxative and use simple householdl remedies. If these don't help you, call a doctor.
 You will be able to resist t h e germs causing colds ifyou keep your body in good condition.
 Breathe pure air, avoid dust, take regular exercise; get plenty of sleep and rest; eat wholesome food and do not sit for long hours in a stuffy room.
 Colds come from the bacteria in your mouth. teeth, nose and throat; therefore keep these parts clean.
