NV Dear Sir: For several weeks
have been intending to write you in re-
gard to your Baby Balm.
If you remember, when yon vera
here this summer | told you that our
baby was sick. He was then having
his third attack of bowel trouble this
summer. They were very severe.
The first two were exceedingly alarm

we try your remedy, but she was pre-
JUDGED against patent medicine, SO

In the last case however my wife
agreed to try your Baby Balm.
went to my doctor and told him that |
wanted to try it. He said that he did
not know what it. contained but to
give it a trial. We did, and it worked
like a charm. Now my wife will not
be without it and the baby has not had
bad case with his bowels since we
began using it.

Mr. Baker is Editor and Proprietor

weekly newspapers in the state. His
letter is given space because of his
known prejudice against patent medi-
cines.
The manufactures offer $1,000 for a
formula or prescription producing a
greater percent of cures than Baby
Balm. They also offer 500 for case
of bowel infection in children that will
not yield to Baby Balm if given under
specific directions from beginning.

IS THIS A TRUE PICTURE?

A printer is peculiar in this
respect, that $50 coming in al
ways looks twice as big as the
same amount going out, remarks
the Topographic Messenger; he
spends his money like a drunken
Mexican and collects as if he
was asking contribution money
for a church. A mug blows in
and makes noise like a custo-
mer, and he says. How much'll
one thousand of this cost" The
printer looks at the job and
whispers to himself: "Compo-
sition about $50, presswork
about Is cents. stock Is cents.
equals 81. so" He adds the
usual 40 per cent. and says (still
to HIMSELF: That job had to
be padded and round-cornered
and | ought to get at least 81 for
it, but the mug probably has
figures from some other shop. SO
| better make it So. SO" Then
the customer looks as if he was
about to lose his family. and
wants to know how much would
500 cost, and $50. and what
would it cost if it was done in
two colors; and the printer gives
him a lot of valuable time and
takes the job for less than it
will so through the shop for, and
probly promises to do it in a
hurry, so it will enterfere with
better business that's already
under way.

So many women are dragging out
weary lives just because their diges-

READING TOO MUCH POETRY

The public schools devote too
much time to the reading of
poetry these days, according to
DIR. William H. Maxwell, super
intendent of schools, who has
just put before the school prlnic-
pals his annual message of adj
vice and instruction.
Shakspeare's works are prac-
tically unadapted to the grades
in the opinion of DR.. Maxwell.
He also deprecates the habit of

PREACHER AND EDITOR

The following summary OF the
situation, from an exchange, is
evidently written by some one
who speaks from experience:
Editing newspaper in some
respects is good deal like
preaching the gospel - truth
must be presented in the form
of generalities or some fellow
will get hit and howl. Few per-
sons like truth, even the homeo-
pathetic doses, if it hits them.
But while preachers criticise
editors for what they do say, no
one thinks of giving them credit
for what they do not say. Yet
what they keep to themselves
constitutes the major portion of
what they know about people.
Very many people harbor the
belief that newspapers are eager
TO publish derogotory tn ngs.
It's a mistake. There isn't a
newspaper that could not spring
a sensation in the community at
any time by merely telling what
it knows. There is not a news
paper that does not keep under
the lock of secrecy scores of
derogatory things which never
meet the public eve or reach the
public ear. Deciding what not
to print is the most troublesome
part of newspaper work.
The many good stories sup
pressed because of innocent rela-
tives and for the good of the
public nobody outside of a news
paper office has any way of
knowing.
In some instance he who flies
into passion because a newspa-
per prints something about him
which he considers uncompli-
mentary has ever reason to feel
profoundly grateful to the news
paper for publishing so little
of what it knows about him
And oftimes the loudest buffer
is the most vulnerable to attack.
A big noise is often 4 devise en-
ployed to cover trepidation.
Newspapers put up with more
bluffing than any other agency

OLD SWEET HOME

Henry Billingsley said he aims

will have success.
Arcadia seems to be growing
very fast. Look out, Nose,
when Will and Lucy gets to be
clerks they will knock you out
of business.
Clara and Nora looked very
lonesome Sunday. Wonder
where Henry and Asberry were.
The protracted meetings seem
very dry this summer, but hope
the Lord will save some one
before they are all over.

Eta Wilson has been on the

mathematical problems and too

Il do not underrate the edu-

they lack courage: it is because
