SOME GREATNESS IN EACH OF Us

The Editor of the Interesting Peo-
pie Department of the American Mag
aZine makes the point in the current
number that each of us has something
of greatness in him. He says:
This department is not confined to
people of fame, genius, or remarkable
endowment. 1t aims to present GER
tain number of common, ordinary
folks whose achievements are never
theless considerable, either because OF
their courage, endurance, persistence
or other qualities. Each one of us has
something of greatness in him, and
stories of plain folks whose qualities
of greatness have been put to som
use are tremendously inspiring. 1t il
our hope that many readers have de-
rived from these pages some personal
stimulus to greater effort"

THAN REFORMATION

debted many times over to an institu-
ton that does work and Yields an
influence like this?
Is not every father in our commun-
ity in duty bound to encourage cause
like this?
Is not every business man, every
doctor and lawyer and preacher, eac1
from his own angle of experience,
aware of the priceless good that
comes from this kind Of work? Surely;
and they are going to uphold it.
Into Americas each year comes
scores of young men from small towns
seeking employment and advancement
1t is from this class that many of our
most useful and successful citizens
have arisen. With little money and
less experience they are in the midst
of strangers.
And how lonesome they often are!
To all such, the Young Mems Christion
Association proves ready friend. AS
nearly as such a thing could be done
it takes the place of home. 1t gives
the stranger kindly and happy even
ings with books and magazines ana
comradeship. 1t helps him to better
LOB. 1t builds him day by day into
good citizenship.
These are but glimpses of the work
of the Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton. Much could be said of its DOM
mating religious purpose. Every good
citizen will be glad to see it put ION

present determination of its Board 81

A Newspapers CREED

A paper expecting to keep the coh-
fidence of the people must at all times
deal fairly and conscientiously with
the public. A newspaper to be a sue
cess must be a clean paper 1t should
take a stand looking to lettering CT
moral and political conditions. The
paper always found battling for that
which is right is the paper which
commands the respect and the admir-
alton of the public.
Editor Harris of the Ocala, Fla,
Banner, has a creed which every
newspaper man in the country should
read and follow. In telling what his
paper stands for, he says:
at opposes now, and has always op-
posed the theory that everything is
fair in love, war and politics. If it
cannot win fairly, it prefers always to
be in the minority and on the defeated
side. 1t never feels that crime ceas
es to be a crime and become a virtue
when resorted to for means to an end
however good the end may be. 1t be-
lieves the holier the cause the holier
the method to be employed.
THE Ocala Banner believes that A
newspaper has mission to perform
and that it should perform it with the
same degree of fear and fearlessness
as the patriarchs of old performed
their functions or the head of famiii
now performs his.
"All its life it has tried to soften
partisan asperities, to give all sides
and all classes and conditions of peo-
pie a square deal, to bring about a
more friendly feeling and better
community of interests, and above all
things it has tried to be clean news
paper 1t has tried to have its col
umns so clean that they can be read
and re-read in the household without
startling the cheek of the most prud-
ish, sensitive and fastidious with con-
fusion or the blush of shame.
God helping it and the people sus>
tanning it, it again repeats that if it
is to be patronized at ALL it asks that
it be not done upon any one issue, but
upon its merits and general excellence
as newspaper. 1t asks that-an1
that is ALL"

A QUESTION OF NERVE

When man throws one train int9
a ditch to save another it takes nerve
but that is what a towerman nea:
Chicago did the other day. AS is wei
known it takes nerve to do many OF
the duties imposed upon some of us
and large majority manage to gel
away with them.
The Milwaukee News calls attention
to the details of the action of the
towerman and says that it seems that
a train loaded with several hundred
passengers was approaching single
track bridge at a pretty fair speed
when through a misunderstanding of
signals, another, a train of express
cars with only few persons on board,
was approaching the bridge from an
other direction. There was "derail
there and the towerman combining his
Judgment, quick thinking, cool head,
ready hand and nerve, threw the ligh-
ter train into the ditch, the men
aboard it fortunately escaping unhurt.
"But think of the nerve! To sit in
the tower under such pressure and
decide within the spac of less than a
second to deliberately sacrifice a
whole railway train. Not only that
but to decide which train to sacrific -
"A derail is placed in the track TO"
exactly that purpose. 1t is nothing
more than a switch that throws 4
train off the track and clears the waY.
But when human lives are at stake
and there is before a man the almost
certain knowledge that by his act
some of his fellows are to be thrown
into eternity, all that others of his
fellows may live, to act with the vision
before him of one of his fellows lying
dead before him or, worse than dead,
living beneath the wreckage, all that
the errors of some other fellow MAJ
he shorn of their possible results, then
is needed all of a mans super-nerve.
At such moments men rise to heights
of superb generalship and mastery ov
er self Luckily in this case the hun
dreds were served and the lesser num-
Der not sacrificed, but this solution
could not have been known when the
levers were pulled that threw the
lighter train into the ditch.
''Nor are those who do such things
only the masters whose names resound
in the pages of history. They abound
in the ranks, among the men who pass
their lives in the obscurity of the mass
They are to be counted among the he
roes of life as surely as those whose
names are echoed over the land and
whose breasts are decorated with
medals"

Have you ever stopped to think just
what the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION, we'll equipped and properly
conducted, does mean in the life of
city whose population is so saturatel
with young manhood as is that of Am
CIRCUS?
A shrewd student of human nature
once said that he cared nothing about
where a man was born, but that he
cared everything about where and
how he spent his youth. 1t is the par
ticular business of the Young Mems
Christian Association to forge this
great truth into daily and practical re-
suits; to keep wise and friendly watch
over that period of human life when
character lies waiting on the anvil TO
receive the telling blow that will
shape it for it's part in the world.
We hear great deal today of our
duty to reclaim the youth of criminal
propensities and to give a chance to
the man who is down and out" And
this is most worthy. But We do not
hear half enough of our duty toward
the ordinary youth who is clean and
honest but who is also susceptible to
influence, whether bad or good, and
who perhaps IS in a city away from
home and friends.
The great social problem of this
and all other communities is not the
reform but the conservation of char
acter." Let us cure disease whereeve.'

all let us foster health.
Here is a problem that comes
straight home to every fireside in our
city. Every father and every mother
knows that a boy is beset by many in
fluences which parents alone cannot
avert or control. Indeed there is a
certain twist in his nature which
sometimes makes him less responsive
to home advice than to the suggestions

ates. He may not be wild or obdu-
rate. He is just a boy, surging in hi;

yond his own doorstep.
To this type of youth the Young
Mems Christian Association appeals
opportunity and effectively. First i.
takes care of his body; building his
muscles strong and his body straight.
1t appeals to his love of athletics and
thus finds the shortest path to his
heart. 1t gives him pleasures which
are real and lasting so that he loses
taste for those that are artificial an |
lowering He finds companionships
that are at once hale and wholesome.
He comes to value the right kind or
men and the right kind of living.

JUST ABOUT TINE!

Following the latest wreck on the
New Haven railroad in which twenty
six persons lost their lives and fifty
were variously hurt or manned for
life, the interstate commerce COM
mission has instituted an investiga-
ton.
It's about time! But it is not to be
forgotten that both the interstate COM
merce commission and various New
England commissions have probed
and grilled this road, and that so
far the only result has been the re-
tirement of the redoubtable Mellen.
Where a railroad slaughters pas
sengers, as does this one so indis
criminately. there must be something
fundamentally at fault. We have ner-
err been in sympathy with the indis
criminate batting of corporations OF
business generally. Here is a case

the Greeks and Romans as the symbol
Of plenty, is an apt expression of the

Ing day. Filled with fruits and flow
ers, it makes one of the most charming

out of the horn and over the table.
A cornucopia may be made Of wire
covered with silk, or again with linen,
or 1t might be made of cardboard on
which vines or autumn leaves are
sewed. The leaves Of the galax, which
do not fade. could be used, although
one should prefer the beautiful black
berry vine. which at this season is al
ways at Its best In color. The leaves
Of the vine should be made to run up
toward the mouth Of the horn and
trail about its edges, suggesting horn

ers, too, should fall about the brim so
that fidelity to the original idea might
be preserved.

Make This and Try II |
for Coughs
This HOmc-Made Remedy has
no Equal for Prompt
Results.

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
VI pint OF warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
This simple remedy takes hold of a
cough more quickly than anything else
you ever used. Usually conquers an
ordinary cough inside of "a hours.
Splendid, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic Group and bronchitis. 1t
stimulates the appetite and is slightly
laxative, which helps end a cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made
for $3.50. 1t keeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant.
Pinex is a most valuable concen-
tIated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pine elements which are
so healing to the membranes. Other
preparations will not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex and
sugar syrup Tor strained honey has
proven so popular throughout the United
States and Canada that it is often
initiated. But the old, successful mix.
ture has never been equaled.
A guaranty OF absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex or will get 1t for you. II not,

THROW AWAY YOUR
EYEGLASSES
A FREE PRESCRIPTION.

You Can Have Fined and Use at Home.
Do you wear glassesf Are you vic
tim of eyestrain or other eye-weaknessi
If SO, you will be glad to know that
there is real hope for you. Many whose
eyes were failing say they have had
their eyes restored through the princi-
pie of this wonderful free prescription.
One man says after trying it: ~ was
almost blind; could not see to read at
all. Now I can read everything with
out any glasses and my eyes do not wa
ter any more. At night they would
pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all
the time. It was like miracle to me-"
A lady who used it says: "The atmos-
phere seemed hazy with or without
glasses, but after using this prescription
for fifteen days, everything seems clear.
1 can even read fine print without
glasses" It is believed that thousands
who wear glasses can now discard them
in reasonable time and multitudes
more will be able to strengthen their
eyes so as to be spared the trouble and
expense of ever getting glasses. Eye
troubles of many descriptions may be
wonderfully benefited by following the
simple rules, Here is the prescription:
Go to any active drug store and get a
bottle of optona, fill two ounce bot.
tie with warm water, drop in one OPP
tona tablet, and allow to dissolve With
this liquid bathe the eyes two to four
times daily. You should notice your
eyes clear up perceptibly right from the
start and inflammation will quickly dis
appear. II your eyes are bothering you
even a little take steps to save them
now before it is too late. Many hope
lessly blind might have been saved if
they had cared for their eyes in time.
