THE LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN

THE LAND Oe BEGINNING AGAIN
7 WISH that there were some wonderful
Called the Land Of Beginning Again.
1 Where all our mistakes and all our
heartaches
And all OF our poor. selfish grief
Could be dropped. like a shabby old coat.
at the door
And never put on again.
| wish we could come on 1t all unaware.
Like the hunter who finds lost trail.
And wish that the one whom our blind
ness had done
rhe greatest injustice OF all
Could be at the gates. like an old friend
that waits
For the comrade he's gladdest to hall
We would find oil the things we intended
to do,
But forgot and remembered too late
Little praises unspoken. little promises
broken
And all OF the thousand and one
Little duties neglected that might have
perfected
The day for one less fortunate
It wouldn't be possible not to be kind
In the Land Of Beginning Again.
AND the ones We mlSJudged ana the ones
whom we grudged
Their moments Of victory here
Would find in the grasp Of our loving
handclasp
More than penitent lips could explain.
For what had been hardest we'd know
had been best.
And what had seemed loss would be
gain,
For there isn't sting that will not take
wing
When we've faced 1t and laughed It away.
And l think that the laughter Is most
what we're after
In the Land OF Beginning Again.
So wish that there were some wonderful
place
Called the Land Of Beginning Again.
Where all our mistakes and all our heart
aches
And all Of our poor. selfish grief
Could be dropped. like a shabby old coat.
at the door
And never put on again.

Science Understands
 The Stomach
Treating Indigestion with Stuart's Dys- pepsfa Tablets Is sn Exact Science.
 They Give Quick Relief.

Medical men have learned more abort the stomach than perhaps any otfh.y ' vital organ. They have dis covered why the stomach rebels at certain conditions--what causes the formation, of gases--what causes flatr- 1ency. heartburn. .dyspepsia,- burning sensation, brash.. and all the other dig oiders of the stomach.
 They have gone further. They have found remedies for all these afflictions, fhese results of improper digestion. They have learned that pepsin hydro chloric acid and fruit salts are pow erful diEestants that relieve quickly and surely all the troubles to which the stomach is subject. They have dis covered that one grain of these prop critics will digest 5000 grains of food. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a medicine. They are scientific com pound that supplies the stomach with fhe digestive agents which 1t is itsel1 unable to provide. When your stom- ach Is sick and not working right when 1t fails to give out enough of inc digestive juices to properly take care of the food you eat. these tablets will make up the deficiency. You will. have no indigestion Your food will digest thoroughly.
 You never can tell just when your stomach is going back on you. It gives no warning If you eat a big meal. if you eat hurriedly take one Of these little tablets. You will avoid lot of pain and misery.
 Some of the most prominent men carry these tablets in their vest pocx- cts when they attend banquets. etc, and never fail to take them.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists at soc box.

onel remarked. since | have heard
even a near-intelligent definition ri
the word Democrat, and don't cN-
rcct any body 10 be able TO tell NE
what Florida Democrat is. Flor
ida Democrats have had nj plat
form for twelve years. and the party
has been held together principally
because of the fear of negro domi-
nation through the old Republican
party. Well, the G. o. p. is as dead
as Hector, and thank God. the ne
grO's political influence from IOw on
will be practically nil in the conduct
of our government. Mark this pre-
diction: Progressive ideals are go
ing to rule from now on. and in case
the Democratic party happen to
elect Governor Wilson TO the f.esi-
dency. that party is going to be pro-
gressive in acts, instead of mere
words, or the name Of the party will
be wiped off the map just as the
sDring primary in Florida has been
wiped off. We've got to go forward
politically. as well as commercially.
and the sO-called conservative ele-
ment must get out OF the way CT be
crushed by the wheels of the Pro-
siessive chariOts.
And the funny part of the game
is that the colonel, when he gives
vent to words OF wisdom, looks as
wise as Moses when that gentleman
was leading the children of Israel

is also like unto Moses in the fact
that he has before him a journey of
