1.-THE REAL
CAUSE - THE MIND"
"A famous clergyman whose elo-
quence stirred Boston a few years
ago believed he had paralysis Of the
lower limbs The paralysis was ap-
parent. For year and a half he
was attended by physicians of skill
and integrity, Finally we located
the real cause-his mind. By gradu-
a.. persuasive treatment he was

DR.. Richardson's scientific pre-
sentiment Is really the answering
argument TO the theory favoring Ell.
thanasia. Suppose the disease be
an imaginary one, Or assume. as In
the case Of all Dorothy Kerin's
twenty-eight physicians, who DR.
Richardson said were all right as far
they went, but they didn't go fae
enough In their treatment, that
physlclans who held the scales OF
the chances for life In their hands
were all mistaken.
Dorothy KERN believed that she
was death doomed. SO did twenty
eight reputable physicians. Yet all
OF these twenty-nine were mistaken.
Suppose that Dorothy KERN and
her twenty-eight physicians agreed
that life had lost all SAVIOR for the

noon on Monday that by s o'clock
OF that evening there might be a
medical discovery that would revo-

this disease, and the patient. self

saved.
Another possibility looms large
and menacing. This is the unscrup-
ulous use OF the power to end life

ON WATER SUPPLY
SAYS RAILROADS SHOULD BE
CUT OFF FROM USING WATER
FROM CITY MAINS.

j. X. Pennington. former mayor
of Ardmore, says that he has been
asked several times about The ad-
visibility OF cutting off the city
water. He thinks this will be un-
necessary, but he says that he doeh
believe it would be an advisable
idea to cut out the supply of the
railroads.
Mr.. Pennington says that the rail.
ways use as much water as the cit,
does, and that they are getting it at
~ cents, which he says is just

by cutting off the railways, Mr.
Pennington thinks we would be in
such a position that there would b.

the home store takes to please the
public. which is essentially "A guaran-
tee Of the value of goods.
When you have any real reason
for feeling that goods are not what
they were represented to be, it is
generally customary for home stores to
take the article back and give you
your money or at least ac redit.
It has sometimes happened in our
personal experience that some arti-
Gle would prove disappointing, and
We would take it back to our home
merchant and ask him whether the
trouble was in the goods or be-
cause we didn't know how to han
die them. We have had home mer-
chants offer to take back the things
without question and give us the
money, when we felt that they were
offering more than they could be
expected TO do, and have consequent
" declined the offer because We We're

to the store, or the extensive cor

more than any saving that could have
been made on the original purchase

largely saved this expense.
The practice by which the home
merchant practically guarantees the
value of his goods is a great safe
guard to the buyer But it costs
money TO the merchant, and is a
part of the expense of his business.
The cost is not SO much in the
