How Old People
May Prolo1lg
Their Lives

At advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
lation becomes poor, blood thin and
watery, appetite fitful, and diges-
ton weak. This condition leaves
the system open to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
MIA, Rheumatism, etc.
YINOL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
Of for old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-
build wasting tissue and replace
weakness with strength.

The death of Hoxsey and Mois-
SAINT seems to have temporarily
checked the .ardor for aviation,
as well it might. 1t is significant
of the craze for spectacular ex-
hibitions and the desire to make
the majority Of deaths of avia-
tors has been due to that cause
and not the cause of science. Ii
the deaths of these and other
men serve to put an end to or
even lessen the craze for court
ing death by novel and spectacu-
lar flights their sacrifice will not
have been in vain.

Occasionally something happen
In social life to make the public
assent to the statement What

ly that must be the feeling OF
every sensible person who reads
the account of the dinner given
by q wealthy lady in honor OF
her pet dog. The guests who so
forgot themselves as to sit at the
table at which the dog, wearing
a "best bib and tucker" was at
the head, doubtless thought it a
very smart thing and praised
their hostess for her ingenuity.
Probably on the whole the dog
comported himself most sensibly
of all the party; he could scarce
'ly do otherwise.

Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1911-01-21
What is the New Time Method?

We understand some of the
principles of Socialism as expound
ed by Victor Berger and others,
the public ownership Of public
utilities, referendum, recall, etc,
many of which are excellent in
theory, and without doubt will
be most excellent in practice;
such as the public ownership of
public utilities; and very many
Of the honest thinkers of today
would be Socialists, at least in
that far, excepting for the fear
that they would own something
which they could not manage and
control. And in passing, | will
say that just as fast as the peo-
pie show their ability to control
just so soon will the intelligent
masses be willing to turn over
the ownership to them, and | be-
lieve they are making great
strides towards taking the man
agement in their own hands.
The move for election Of u. S.
Senator's by direct vote of the
people, is a move in that direc-
ton. In fact, there is a steady
movement all along the line in the
same direction, possibly under
different names, but all looking
to the same end more complete
control by the people. And the
faster the people show themselves
capable of controlling, the faster
they are getting control.
The writer has no fault to find
with that kind Of Socialism. In
fact we are and have been con-
tributing our efforts to the cause
for years. But the New Time
Method" is what we do not I'M
derstand. About one-third OF the
paper is filled with passages like
the following:
IF there is one thing more re-
prehensible than another, accord
ing to the ethics of clean Jour
nalism, that deserves the unanl-
nous condemnation of the read
ing public, it is that gross indif-
ference to the rights of the read
ers who pay for the news, and
are entitled to the truth, that is
characteristic of certain newspa-
pers which twist facts and garble
truths to suit their own selfish
purposes. The subscribers and
readers of a newspaper pay their
money for the news and the truth
and the newspaper that gives
them a spurious article in return
for their money is as guilty as
the merchant who adulterates his
groceries, or the counterfeiter
who passes off his bogus coin. +"
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1911-01-21

"But we propose to serve the
people to the best of our honest
ability, no matter whose toes we
tread OF" "The New Time
represents the interests of the
taxpayers" etc. I'VE are
HONEST! HONEST! HON
EST!!p" etc.
He devotes column after col
umn to fulsome self praise, and
the assumption of lofty ideas,
and at the same time deyotes col
umns to the attacking untruthful-
Iy, of everything in sight, that
savors of responsibility. In
speaking of those upon whom he
says he is fully dependent for his
business, he says, eve are fully
aware that the .church-going days
of most of you are things Of the
past, and we are also aware that
it is the fault of the church, and
not Of yourselves, that such is
true. The Church Of Jesus Christ
is still with and not of you, but
the modern Church of the World
has so far departed from your
church that it is impossible for
your pure religion to contamln-
ate itself by contact. -. just
think of his goodie-goodie support
ers that would be contaminated
by contact, if they attended any
church in this village!
Then he charges the Village
Board with being robbers. Says
they are robbing the taxpayers
every time they pay the janitor
his monthly salary of $40. And
as proof of the theft, he publish
es an unmitigated, outrageous
falsehood to the effect that by
law the taxpayers have to pay
ONE mill tax for Library purposes
and any amount over that, paid
to the Library is robbery. And
then, in his eloquent self-right-
eous style, tells how HE, and ev-
cry other HONEST taxpayer
would rather see the Library rot
of neglect, than get its money
that way.
AS a matter of fact, this vii
lage has to support the Library
to at least the extent Of 100000
a year. If the levy of one mill
would raise 100000, then the OBJ
legation of the village might cease.
But when, as. has been the case
each year since the establishment
of the Library, it falls short, the
difference between what the one
mill levy raises and the 100000
is taken by ordinance from the
general expense fund and trans
ferred to the Library fund. This
difference has amounted to some
thing over $4,000 per year.
But it has remained for the
New Timer with his Method
to attack the Board as robbers.
We have heard Of people having
method in their madness. The
New Time Method" seems to be
ALL madness. Again he says,
When the Board of Village
Trustees ceased to pay rent to
the Commercial club, and used
their own room instead, they with
drew their support from the best
institution the village had. In
the following issue he says, The
Commercial club passed peaceful
ly away about three weeks since,
but it had only one live member.
Do you see the Method?
Guess NOT. The Method" was
used in mixing drinks prior to
the write-up. Or is it simple
case of Madness in Method, or
method in madness gone to seedY
1t certainly is not any kind of
Socialism that we ever heard or
read of.

TOWNSHIP PREMIUMS.

Mr.. Harry Miller gets the first
premium in Bethel township, instead
of Mr.. E. L. Ford as announced and
Mr.. q. L. Suggs gets second.
The original announcement was
made under the impression that Mr..
Ford lived in Bethel; but he advised
us as soon as he learned of the sit
uation that he lives In Kings Noun
tain township.
He is pretty close to the line; but
not in Bethel, and would therefore not
be eligible to the Bethel prize.
The second Catawba township prize
was the cheapest one this year. 1t
went to Mr.. w. H. Moore Of Rock Hill
for only four names. At least two
Catawba township clubmakers allow
ed it to slip by when they could have
landed it easily, both of them having
put enough names on other clubs to
beat Mr. Moore twice over.
Mr.. Moore was the winner as a mat
ter Of chance. He was not really
working for prize. Years ago he
used to be one of the largest club
makers, but afterward ceased to give
attention to the subject further than
to send in such names as continued
to come to him voluntarily.
Mr.. w. j. Caveny, another old time
clubmaker, who used to send in some
of the largest lists that were received
in those days, and who continues to
take such names as are offered him,
had most of his names this year put
on the club of his niece, Miss Addie
Caveny. Had he entered them on his
own club, he would have won the sec
ond machine.
Mr. ]. A. Whitesides. who won the
second prize in Catawba township last
year. entered on Mr.. ]. K. Allison's
club this year more names than were
necessary to take the second prize in
the contest just closed
