SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.

Demagogues and extravaganza
have done more to create a feel
ing Of dissatisfaction with present
conditions than any other two
things. Of course there are ex-
isting evils that should be rem
edied, but at a time when people
are more prosperous than ever
before the demagogue comes
along and tells them they are be-
ing robbed right and left until,
if one credits the stories, he may
actually believe the only thing in
the world that can possibly save
him is to elect said demagogue to
some office. Such teachings stir
up all who believe, create a lack
of confidence and cause a general
feeling of discomfort. But when
there is no election on hand the
greatest enemy to a. majority of
people, especially the younger
ones, who do not remember the
real hard times" experienced by
us older ones in the past, is ex-
travagance. When the writer was
pupil in old Ripley Institute, near
ly all the boys in town wore jeans
suits made by their mothers and
brogan shoes, and a silk umbrella
was something hardly known in a
small town. Now, we want too
much and since times are better
we manage some way to get what
we want. The trouble is when
we come out behind or wages or
salary does not accumulate a

Plans for Tuberculosis Day.

Sermons on the prevention of con-
sumption will be preached in thou
sands of churches on April %, which
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention OF tuberculosis has
set aside tuberculosis day. Last year
out of 100000 churches in the United
States. over $4,000 observed Tuberculo-
sis day, and millions of churchgoers
were told about this disease from the
pulpit. This year will be the third
observation of tuberculosis day. Plans
are being made to have the gospel OF
health preached more widely than
ever before The movement will be
nushed through the 600 anti-tubercu-
losis associations allied with the ma
tional association and through the
boards Of health, women's clubs and
other organizations in hundreds OF
cities and towns throughout the coun-
trv. Through these various bodies
the churches will be reached and In

Books With Uncut Leaves.

In this country and Germany the
practice of publishing books and
magazines with uncut leaves has
largely fallen into disuse, but it is
still common in France, where its
prevalence provides a dissatisfied au-
thor with a cause for grumbling. In
LA Grande Revue" among other
hindrances to the reading habit which
is so much in need of encouragement,
at any rate from the authors point OF
view, he instances the practice or
publishing books with uncut edges.
Time, he says, is growing more
valuable every year and yet the read
er of a French volume of average
proportions has to spend about twenty
minutes in the pettifogging work CT
cutting the leaves in order to get at
the contents Some people of course
who take their reading in leisurely
fashion rather like being checked by
the need for using paper knife, but
the ordinary reader does not want
to be bothered in this way. He likes
to 60 straight ahead without being
compelled to cut his way through the
book as he Observation-Disclosures

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health Of its different members is
most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. CaldwelPs Syrul Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels, yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
might means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time TO again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to Dr. w. B. Caldwell,
POI Washington ST., Monticello, ILL.,,
and ask for sample bottle. DR.. Cald-
well will be glad to send it without
any expense to you whatever.

The speaker, beautifully dressed her.

''In Paris" said an heiress, 'the

fashionable hotels, and to the promen-

may ask these girls where they got

said lady novelist.
Then, after pause, the original
speaker said:
I've often wanted to ask strange
women where they got their clothes,
and my husband has often wanted to
ask strange men where they got
theirs. Neither of us has ever dared,
though. Yet we've been asked our
selves, and, tremendously fattered,
we've replied politely. My solution Of
the problem is this: Intelligent per-
sons, like the French, are pleased
when the question is asked them, and
therefore, if you are sure your stran-
gers are intelligent, don't hesitate;
but, if your strangers are un1ntelll-
gent-snobs or pseudo-aristocrats-
then, beware, for, no matter how deep
ly pleased at the question they may be
at heart, they will snub you horribly,
and you will walk off as ashamed as
though you had been caught trying to
pick a pocket"

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being infamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, l doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which I did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until was
we'll again, and have not had re-
currence of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. l have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"

Law, Greenville, O., Jan. II, 1911.

ment are sold everywhere, a sample
