Nothing in the Paper

Frequently you pick up loca ] paper and after glancing at it, wearily throw it aside, remarking, "Nothing in the paper this week" Did you ever stop to think what that phrase means? It means that in the week just passed no misfor
 tune has befallen anyone in our community; that no fire has wiped out a neighbours worldly goods; that the grim angel of death has crossed no threshold of friend; that no man driven by liquor, hatred or fear has taken the life of fellow human; that no poor devil, haunted by the past or misdeeds of some other, has crossed the great divide by his own hand. So the next Iime you pick up paper that doesn't announce a tragedy, give a little thanks instead of grumbling because there is no choice morsel of news. Or. if you would rather, shall we dish up choice morsel "f scandal2

THERE is talk of an extra session of congress. and President Taft has let it be understood that unless the administration bill for a ta riff board and the Canadian treaty are passed that he will not hesitate to call an extra session. In that event. action may probably be taken on Arizo. na's constitution, and if it receives the approval of the president and congress, general election for all state and county officials will likely be held during the fall of 1911.

The Time to Advertise

With the bulk of winter pur- chases made, the general public now stands pat and waits to see what the advertiser has to say They are pretty we'll fitted out to go through the winter and nothing is likely to tempt them much to visit the man that fails to adver- tise. But they are always alive to bargains.
 Most business men realize the necessity at this time of clearing their shelves for more seasona ble goods later on. They do not all realize that the only way to inter est people in an off season is to tell them what they have for bargains. Thrifty people may be we'll stocked up for the cold season, but they are perfectly ready buy if they can do so to their advantage It is then simply question of convincing people that there are opportunities in your store that, are worth their examination.
 Do you believe you can convince them of that fact. MT. Merchant, merely by sitting in your store and trying to influence customers by mental suggestion? By no means. They need a constant reminder; they need good straight argument; plain, cold facts, convincing to com. mon sense and business logic.-Ex.

How to Breathe
tCommunicatedl

"God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life" The normal man breathes through his nose. Thoughts of fear, shame, self dis trust, self depreciation and weak ness cause mouth breathing under which health is not possible. Breathe through your nose Create tbis habit through affirmations of power-a -affirmations that center in faith in self will Close the mouth, deepen respiration and stimulate all the functions of the body. Close the mouth and with assertions of power, breathe deeply, and you will soon create a change in nerve tissue that will keep the mouth closed when not in speech or laughter

HAPPINESS IS NATURAL
 STOP YOUR WHINING

Sometimes when l see people dis rouraged and fretful and hear them make doleful utterances about con ditions and things, I wonder if the thought ever comes to them that they are discouragers Perhaps they would resent any such inference but the plain. cold truth admits of no-equivocation Their complaints are adding burdens to others who may hr. discouraged enough about their own affairs without being com pelled 10 listen to the whines of a pps-imist. Ii they would only think 'o do it. they could, with the slight est thought and effort, say some thing that would make somebody happy all day long.
 Many people form the habit of looking upon success and happiness as things afar off, instead of here and now If you look happy peo- pie will think you are happy, and what people think is a powerful factor for success or failure in any rhiug Talk happiness, too. Don't say if say when. Don't say can't say can Make yourself an op tomist. How? By forming the habit of looking on the bright side of things. Refuse to remember dis agreed ble happenings. TEe quicker you forget them the sooner you will make room for Joy as your guest.
 Did you ever stop to think that a haby involuntarily looks on the bright side of things? Does this not prove that happiness is nat u,al? The baby does not impose a big eff" between himself and hap piness Instead he seems to just naturally grasp everT bit of sun shine and joy that comes his way and reflect it in his baby face Just the other day I was chaperoning a wee bit of sunshine, fun and dim ples and he smiled spontaneously beautifully, at poor old colored woman bent and tired with the toll of the day At first she couldn't seem to realize that the pretty baby was smiling at her, but when she did. the lines on her face seemed to soften and she returned the greet ing with the semblance of a smile. That woman carried the baby's smile home with her in her heart. It eased her burden, it changed her train of thought to pleasanter things It comforted and encour- aged her, and finally fingered in her memory as one of the pleasant things of life.
 If we could be more like children, less critical. less observant of the flaws and defects If others, we would he happier. We would smile nat urally, spontaneously. at the world and the old world would re echo l our cheerfuIness and reflect our bit If happiness thousandfold, shed ding a radiance in our pathway I that would attract and cheer others \ Happiness is natural Worr is a disease that is contagious Don't worry It affects yourself and oth CTS who come in contact with you But good cheer is tonic that will overcome worry and drive away it's train of minor complaints
 So send out your singing, your sunshine, your smile. Your way will be pleasanter, your cheer will dissipate the cares of others and your influence will prove a blessing to the com munity in which you live-Excharge.

Installing Water Closets

a number of property owners are
complying with the ordinance of the
Town Council requiring the install
lation OF water closets within the
business section OF the town.
In view OF this requirement and
from the further fact that numerous
other residences have these modern
conveniences. especially the newly.
built homes, would it not be well
for Lexington to have plumbing
inspector, so that only sanitary
plumbing be installed
