FACTS. ABOUT DEAD STARS.
There are Ten Thousand Million 0
These Heavenly Bodies Chas-
ing About in Space.

Perhaps it has never occurred to
many people that there are such
bodies as dark stars; but so great an
authority as Sir Robert Ball has said
that the dark stars are to the bright
for numbers as the cold horseshoes in
existence are to the red-hot ones. In
these days of motor vehicles it is
evident that horseshoes are much
less numerous than they were; but
doubtless the proportion of cold ones
TO those at any given moment red up
on the blacksmith's anvil remains as
it always was. For every such hot
one there must be many hundreds Of
cold ones, so that if the smile is
sound, the heavens must contain an
incredible number of these derelics
On the ocean of space, which, having
lived their life, have grown old and
dead, but are still racing about at
star-speed until in their wanderings
they meet some other heavenly bodies
in terrific collision.
Such gigantic catastrophe as the
clash of two suns each perhaps mil
lions of miles in diameter, rushing at
each other at the rate of twenty or
thirty or even more miles per second,
would result, so the mathematicians
tell US, in a world-splitting explosion
exactly as if each were composed Of
billions of billions of tons of gunpow-
der; and as when gunpowder explodes
nothing is left but gas and smoke, so
in the clash of stars nothing would be
left of the two great solid bodies which
had collided, but an immense whirling
mass of incandescent gas called neb-
ula. of which, as most people know,
there are quite a number dotted over
the heavens, his maelstrom of gas
would sail about among the stars for
ages, in the course Of which it would
naturally cool down and condense into
a star-system much like our own, with
probably central sun, planets and
moon.
Some of these would sooner or later

UNFAIR TO
THE DRUGGIST
The Old Joke About "SOmething Just
As Good" Doesn't Apply to This
Drug Store.

You have probably heard dozens of
times the>old story that drug store
was place to "get something just as
good" There is at least one drug
gist in the world that you can't say
this about.
1t is certain that an inferior article
will never be substituted for a guar
anteed one by Mayes' Drug Store.
Take for instance a safe, reliable
remedy for constipation and liver
trouble like. Dodson's' Liver Tone.
This harmless vegetable liquid has
proved so satisfactory a liver stiF-nu-
liant and reliever of biliousness, and
to entirely take the place of calomel
without any danger or restriction Of
habits or diet, that there are dozens
of preparations springing up with
limitations of its claims.
But Dodson's Liver Tone is guar
arteed to do all that is claimed for
it, and if you are not satisfied with it,
Mayes' Drug Store will hand your
money back with a smile. Any per-
son going to this store for bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone will be sure
Of getting large bottle of this gen
uine remedy in exchange for his half
dollar.

SHALL sNATION BUILD HIGHWAYS

This is a question which is slowly
but surely forcing itself upon the
National Legislature. Many Senators

the building of system of National
Highways is Of more economic i'm
portance than any other public WORK
more vital than the question of a
large navy, more useful than any
river and harbor Improvement, more
necessary than the Panama Canal
For Highways are built and owned by

pie. A few vars ago road bills had

there are nearly a hundred bills be-

believes firmly that the question is
not only one for States, Counties,
Cities and Towns, but for the Nation.

believes that the beginning of a COM
