THE VALUE OF IDEALS.

Whatwe make of ourselves de-
pends upon the ideals which we
habitualiy hold. Our lives are shap-
ed upon our mental models. If
these be high, the life is lofty: if
low, it grovels. Man is no better
than his ideals. The stream can not
rise higher than its source. Our
work can never overtop our ideal,
our ambition. 1t is a great thing
to keep the constant suggestion of
high ideals, of things that are grand
and noble in human achievement,
i'll the mind. 1t tends 10 make US
love the right and hate the wrong.
There is one thing we ought to-
hold in such sacredness that no con-
sideration could induce us to dilute
IL, and that is the quality of the
life. the quality of our ideals What
ever else we are carless about, we
con not afford to carry through life
low ideals, second-class PERSONAL
ties or demOralized mentalities.
However humble our homes or or
binary our environment, we should
keep the quality of the life, the per-
oOi1ulltJ, dI JIiC HtS1Cob k1OootDlC
standard We should allow nothing
to deteriorate it,
Yet most people are careless and
Indifferent regarding the quality Of
their lives. There is a slipshodness
in their lives, a slovenliness in their
mentality, which tend to deteriorate
the quality Of life and make it cheap.
and commonplace.
Whatever your career, guard your
ideal as the apple of your eye, the
pearl of great price; for everything
depends upon the direction IN which
that points. If it points downward,
no amount ofmoney or influence
can redeem you from mediocrity, or
even save you from degraded life.
Man is so made that he must fol-
low his ideal. He can not go up if
his ideal points down.---Orison

HONEST MEDICINES Vsr,u, Fixes.

President Taft's recent message sug-
.gestlng an amendment to the Pure Food
and Drugs Law in its relation to pre-
pared Medicines, does not refer to such
standard medicines as Foley's Honey and
Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills,
both of which are true medicines care
fully compounded of ingredients whose
medicinal qualities are recognized by the
medical profession itself as the best known
remedial agents for the diseases they are
intended to counterfeit. For over three
decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com

coughs, colds and affections of the throat,
chest and lungs for children and for
grown persons, and it retains to day its
pre-eminence above all other preparations
of its kind Foley Kidney Pills are equally

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF
THE JUDICIAL DISTRICT.

1t is only thirty days till the first pri-
mary. / am asking at the hands of the
White Democratic voters of the Eight
Judicial District the nomination for Dis
trict Attorney.
It is your to give.
Do not give it to me unless you think
I am a Just man and able to fill the
place to your satisfaction. If you think
am holding to some big mans coat
tail to get in, don't vote for me. If
a man has not merit enough of his own
to run he has not enough to hold the of
fee tf elected. 1t takes more merit to
hold the office than it does to run for it.
This is an important office. Persons
who are about to violate the law should
remember who will prosecute them if they
do commit crime. His fearless effci-
ency should be recognized and feared.
| invite your inquiry as to how dill
gently and earnestly have pursued my
private practice and ask you to judge
from that whether | will make the kind
of District Attorney you want.
If elected it will be my plan to let
no guilty man escape; to let no innocent
man suffer; to have no indictments which
cannot be maintained to reduce the en-
ormous and unnecessary cost to the county
of holding courts; to make the law re-
spected to make the people of the dis
trict safe in their persons and property.
You need a man who will carry out such
plan.
