LAUGH AND GROW FAT
The Secret of Eternal Yeuth Dis
covered BY the Circos Man.
Get Ready for the Show.

If it be true that ever laugh makes a
man day younger, and no good ar
gument to the contrary has yet been
presented-it will be easy for any one
to live a year longer atua very nominal
expense. Think of it--365 days of re-
newed youth for the price of a circus
ticget Who could withstand such
bargain? When the small boy per-
suades his father to take him to see
the big show the youngster does not
know that be is giving 10 his parent a
new lease of life.
1t may be said that there are not two
persons on this earth's surface who
will equally enjoy given funny ac-
ton or witty speech One man
will not see the point to a story that
to another appears the most laughable
thing imaginable. An incident that
in action almost convulses the onlooll-
er with laughter will not appeal at all
to the third party to whom the Incl
dent is recited. But let 10000 people
witness at the same time 1000 funny
actions and queer antics and it will be
impossible to find one individual in
the entire aggregation of spectators
whose ribs have not been tickled with
laughter and whose sense of humor has
not been excited.
The Hagenback Wallace Shows,
which appear here Sept. II, carry on
their list of entertainers troupe of
laughter-making stars-a collection Of
artists whose whole existence is de-
voted to the task of provoking laugh
ter If there are people in
this world who do not want to laugh
let them be warned that they are
courting disappointment in this direc-
ton if they visit the Hagenback- Wal
lace Shows. They will be compelled
to laugh-not once, but hundred
times, for the laughter-malOing kings
who travel with these shows have
sworn an oath that no one will escape
them. Why not laugh and live an
extra year. The expense is nominal,
the entertainment exciting and the
time devoted to the enjoyment is well
spent. You awaken the next day
with added vigor ready to resume the
problem of life with lighter heart, eag-
er to confront the difficulties and over.
come them. For the man who laughs
all life is a joke--when seen in the
4 proper light-taken from the philoso
4 piers point of view.

exceed the appropriation. The arehi-
tects of the other plants were given
until next Monday TO revise their
plans.
In addition to the plant at Johnson

it at such low figure that it was pos
sible to construct the principals home
out of the East Tennessee appropria-
ton, and this is to cost So, 600.

ton of the buildings about September

WheR asked as to who he would
support for governor, Mr.. Littleton
stated as follows

BURDEN OF CHARGES FILED
Department Determined to Prevent
Undue Political Activity On
Part Of the Carriers.

A special from this city to the Bris-
tol News carries this information
"Postof1ice Inspector Arthur A. Mich
OILS, of New York, detailed to this field
with other inspectors by order of Chief
Inspector r.. S. Sharp, has just pre-
senred Rural Carrier Geo. G. Haynes,
of Marbleton, Unicoi county with
charges against him, alleging political
activity in the late judicial contest and
giving him three days to file an an
swer showing cause why he shall not
be dismissed from the service.
"It is understood that Mr.. Haynes
friends, in view of the evidence, have
advised him to resign without filing
an answer.
"Strong representations have gone
to the postal authorities at Washing
ton TO the effect that the rural carriers
in the First congressional district have
long been and are still being used as a
working force for certain political in
terests. Evidence has been gathered
showing that large percentage of the
more than 200 carriers have violated
the law in that particular and it is in
timated that Chief Inspector Sharp is
determined to put an end to such
practices, and that wholesale removals
NAV he looked for during the coming
two months.
.sIt is hoped by the friends of the
carriers that the action Of the depart
ment may not be so drastic as is now
expected. as it is known that th
men were instructed to do politl
work by the persons who were inliue
tial in securing their appointment
Most of them were not aware that the
were violating the law, and it is be
lieved that thay are entitled to lenienc

"There are many persons who wouio
like to become rural carriers, ana uh'
der the civil service there is no chance
to get the present force out except un
der charges Of misconduct. AspirantS
for such positions, it is believed arc
active in securing evidence, and II Il
thought in spite of the influence thai

If you have dandruff, the little in

now tho railroads are hauling tho crops
Of two years. The grain business to-
gether with other business caused by
the prosperity Of the country makes a
monster lob for tho railroads. and even
ut this early season the railroads can
hardly keep up with the demand for
cars.
Railway and business men wonder
what the situation viii be In the middle
Of winter. There Is no hope in sight FOR
relief, for business gives no promise to
abate. and the railroads certainly can
not manufacture enough extra cars and
engines to avert the trouble. There Is
not only q scarcity OF cars. but there IS
also q scarcity OF engines. The roads
are running many extra trains every
day, and invariably the extra trains
are coal trains.
Warning by Railroads.
Yet these extra coal trains are not
supplying the demand sufficiently to
avert n coal famine in case OF a sudden
cold spell. \ merchant said yesterday
that one railroad was sending circular
letters to all its agents to advise tho
merchants to. stock up with coal and
be prepared for the big rush OF bust
ness. for when the rush comes IT Will
be impossible to give quick relief
The famine threatens other cities
even more than Cedar Rapids. Chicago
fears a coal famine such as 1t has
never gone thru before. Her merchants
are fairly flooded With orders for coal.
but there Is no relief In sight The
situation is much the same In other
cities. 1t is said that nothing can pre-
vent n serious car shortage this WIN
ter. and that the only possible escape
from 4 coal famine will be long con-
tinuation of good weather. Warm
weather will make 1t possible for the
railroads to supply coal dealers with
plenty Of stock and when the cold
spell does arrive there will be no sud-
den clamor for an extra supply
