A Plea For the Newsles.
Fe fh1 Editor OF The Times:


While the feeling Of Peace on

let us not forget the little merchants
of the street. the newsboys. Now you
know that the newsboy does not make
SO much that he has large bank ac-
count. The newsboy's profits, accord
Ing TO his labor, Is the smallest paid
to any workman. Through rain and
snow, heat and cold, these little mer-
chants, wearing a smile of happiness
on their face, let you know what Is
going on In the outside world. II Is
certainly a nice thing for you to come
home each evening, and pick up the
evening paper, light your pipe. and
sit back in your chair, and read or
things that are taking place through
out the country. But never thought

shoulder, and exposes himself to

give you this pleasure. The boys are
certainly deserving OF little consid-
GRAFTON, so when your boy asks you
to buy a New Years Greeting, don't
turn him away. Each year the differ-
emf papers get out a calendar, which
are sold to the boys for six or seven
cents. So by giving the boy an order
for one Of these greetings, and pay
ing him twenty, or twenty-five cents,
he has an opportunity to pay for some
OF his clothes and help him to buy
things he needs In school. A news
boy certainly does wear out shoes
fast, and he has to bundle up warm

little fellow, who has to travel through
snow and sleet to give you a little
pleasure each evening, by bringing

small. Two Of the papers here sells
three papers to the boys for two
cents So they make the large, mag
nificent sum OF one cent on three pa
pers. Some time ago these same two
firms were selling their papers to the
boys at the rate OF two for one cent.
I think that this Is certainly wrong.
The boys should be paid more Tor

I'm glad I'm young and fond OF youthful laughter.
Finding much Joy In all this wonderous earth,
My heart a house-fed up from floor to rafter
With love OF life and light and gentle mirth-
I'm glad I'm young, with eyes that still can twinkle
With ears that pleasure when the songs are sung,
And lips that still recall the way to crinkle
At Jest and whimsy-ah. I'm glad I'm youngi
I'm glad I'm young although my hair has whitened
And am near my three-score years and ten;
Youth in my heart has kept my spirits hgntened'
The ways Of youth are still within my ken;
And if I cannot dance watch and listen,
Thinking OF memories to which I've chung;
My blood still leaps. my eyes are still aglisten
And though I'm old I'm glad that am young!

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING

For October the index was $s.46l5,
or one unit for the So commodities
would have cost that sum.
For November 1t Increased to
$9.47S1.
Where II cost S94.51 for living in
October II would cost STATS In Novem-
Der.
The low point, according to these
records, was In 1896, when the living
cost would have been 1912.
There has been rise OF l6.2 per
cent over the average Of 1902. and III
per cent over 1892.
The average for the 10-year period
1S92-19O1 was $69.69, on which basis
the index for 1912 shows an advance
OF 81 per cent in the living cost.
These figures are conclusive that
the high cost OF living problem Is a
serious one. The American people,
by voting the Democratic party In
power. have acted In necessary SELF
defense.-Houston Chronicle.

Overnight Relief
For Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring and You Arc
Well and Happy by Morning.

1t is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen
eral, and so we have a whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi
gestion, for they are closely allied
But common as constipation is many
people do not seem to know they
have it. They will complain of head
ache, drowsincss or bihousness, all
unconscious Of the cause Of the
trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once day. If
you pass day you are constipated.
and the result will be that you will
catch cold easily or have a moro
serious ailment. To cure the constipa-
tlon and forestall still graver trouble
take a dose of DR.. Ca1dwell's Syrup
Pepsin at night before retiring and by
morning relief will como, without dis.
turbance from sleep or any incon-
venience-
Legions of people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some Of them former
ly chronic inva]ids who have suffered
from from constipation all their lives.
Mrs. j. w. Anderson, Osawatomie,
Kan, and Mr., r. Silver, Zenith

that they have tried most things recon-
mended for this purpose, but have
round Syrup Pepsin the only one nl-
ways reliable. A bottle can be OBJ
tanned at any drug store for fifty cents
or one dollar, the latter size being
bought by families already familiar
with it's merits.
