THEY GROW Good Hunor and CheerfuIness from Right Food and Drink.

Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes:

 "But l was young and did not want to die so began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble I used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me, and after each spell it would take me days before I could sit up in a chair.

LESTER & WASLEY
 PLANT WILL REMAIN
Percival w. Chapman, Who Has Charge of Mir. Wasley's Estate. Will Be the Manager.

Following the death of Frederick R. Wasley, who had but q short time be- fore assumed the ownership of the Lester & Wasley machine shop, there was some question as to what would become of the business, which has at times been the means of giving many skilled workmen employment. It will be heard with interest by those con- cerned in the industrial activity of the town to know that the business is to be continued and that it will remain in this city and will probably be carried on on more extensive scale.
 As manager of the plant Percival W. Chapman, who has charge of MT. Wasley's estate. has been named, and he has taken charge of affairs there. Envelope machines are manufactured and good business is before the plant for the winter. MT. Chapman is a most capable young man and in talk ing up these duties he has resigned from the Merchants National bank, where he has been succeeded by Ray mOnd B, Sherman.

 Conflicts of the Future.
 Governor Hanly referred briefly to the conflicts that he believes will face this country in the future, which will be civic rather than military. But they will, nevertheless, be none the less important. He spoke of the great and lasting work of General Wash ington in his efforts to establish this new government and declared that God had been marYelously good to us in his mercies. We have been through many dark days, but at all times, when we were in trouble he has sent someone to lead us out of it. An en- umeration of the country's great lead- CTS was made, from the early founders down to the immortal Lincoln, and as the speaker concluded his remarkable tribute to the memOr. of our martyred president the audience burst out in prolonged applause. His eulogy of Lincoln was masterIy triumph of elo- Quence.
 Doesn't Fear War With Japan.
 Governor Hanly stated that he diff fered from Congressman Hobson of Alabama and did not think we were in any danger of going to war with Japan in the near future. There is no danger whatever lurking in this di- rection. There are foes, however, that we need to fear. These foes are not abroad, but right at home in our very midst. and chiefest among them are these-Greed, avarice and love of gain They have done more during the past thirty years to debauch this fail country of ours than anything else The speaker briefly referred to how such things as these had brought ru- ination almost among a number of our large cities, and pointed out what had happened in San Francisco, New York Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Cincinnati, Chi cago and Springfield, to sub<antiate his claims.
 The speaker declared that he was no pessimist, but an optimits, and he has the highest hopes for the future success and greatness of this coun- try What we need most. however, is a consecrated citizenship, and if we could have this condition of affairs in existence all over the land for Z! years we would find that the Worlc would have come nearer to the idea we have for it than ever before.
