BOOST YOUR TOWN.

The Armenia Times strikes the right Key insa leading editorial on loyalty to one's own community. Under the caption, Speak We'll of Your Village, !" the Times writer says:
 't'No village will flourish and grow under pressure of the strong hand of sluggishness. If we desire our town to improve, the starting point must be with those who are residents therein, and who are or should be, the most interest ed in it's welfare. A good word spoken for Amenia now and then often does as much good as money contributed for d boom. On che other hand the same amount of harm can be done to a place through detrimental remarks about the village to strangers.
 Whether you are personally inter- ested in the welfare of the village or not, drop good word for it now and then. It will cost you nothing, and the seed thus sown might take root and grow, and in time much good may come from it. It is up to the business man to do all in his power towards every effort in building up his home town. He is the direct beneficiary in the good results at sained. The private citizen, if not able
 
 cause can cast his mite in the way of a good word which will go long way toward booming the place he calls home
 "We should all take pride in our town but do we know that pride to the out. side world? is a most important question to be considered.
 This is good doctrine. It is the doc trine which The News has been trying to inculcate for some time past. Il doesn't cost cent to speak we'll of youl own town, and every boost helps especially il 1t is given in tie hearing ot stranger. Some there be who car think of nothing good to say of theil town. Nothing in it suits them, ye they sheer at every effort or proposition to make it better. Their idea of help ing is, as somebody has described it t ''get behind and pull" Yet. while they

 "Agnes, my dear, you must speak to him for me. I could not summon enough courage to speak to your father on this subject"
 Father is in the library" said Agnes.
 "Then you had better go to him, 1" suggested the professor, "and I'll wait here"

Danbury, Conn.,, must be living up to it's old character as joker in being the second New England town carried by the Bull Moose party this spring. New York World.
 But Danbury was not carried by the Bull Moose party this spring that's the joke of it. It was Bethel, Danbury's next. door neighbor, that was stampeded by the Bull Moose, which swept every thing before it in the borough election. In Danbury the Bull Moose was lassoed and hobbled by the democrats, and the valiant bell-wether of the herd, Col. Tomlinson, mayoralty candidate, with his loyal following, was outside the breastworks when the fighting was over and the fog lifted.

RISE OUT OF YOURSELF.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Rise out of yourself, as the bird in the tree
 Conscious of it's newly tledged wings, Bursts free from the narrow confines of the nest And out through the air gaily sings. Expand with the wonderful glory of life;
 Accept its rich blessings so free And then fling them out into limitless space
 That those who are blinded may see. Rise out of yourself as the bird in the trees;
 Let your gladness float through the air Earth's manifold treasures will unfold to you
 And you will find joy everywhere.

THE TEST OF MERIT
Newport People Are Given Con-

No better test of any article can be
made than the test of time and this is
particularly true of a kidney medicine.
Eoan's Kidney Pills have stood this
test and stood it well. What better
proof of the merits of this remedy
could you demand, than the statement
of Newport resident who used it snc-
cessfully and tells of lasting results.
Read the following:
Mrs. M. r. Fancher, College Hill,
Newport, Tenn, Says: "For several
years | was distressed by backache
and weakness through my loins and
l believe the trouble was caused by an
injury. The kidney secretions were
also disordered. Doan's Kidney Pills,
which / obtained from the MINIS
Drug Co., strengthened my back and
kidneys and after that my condition
improved in every way. I am glad

Kidney Pills when recommended them
before"

the shoulders of enthusiastic citi-

The Southern route is sure to
be the national route, according
to Mr.. Westgard, as it will be an
all-year route. 1t will enable the
tourist to dodge the cold of the
Northern route and the heat of
the more Southern route. 1t goes
through a picturesque country
and the good road idea is taking
such a hold on the people that it
will be but short time until the
Southern route will have the best
roads Of any of the routes con-
sidered.
Thr car used is a Pathfinder 40,
and it has made five trips across
the continent in the last two years
and is strong enough to make sew
eral more. Needless to say it will
be a big advertisement for this
section when Mr.. Westgard re.
ports that the best roads to be
found on the entire route are those
of Cooke and Jefferson counties.
He states, however, that the peo-
pie of Tennessee are backward in
one thing-that of signs, and that
the counties should see that every
cross road has a wooden sign
directing the tourists. While in
expensive, it is a very important
feature.

At me time the words hostel and
sim" were not confined to licensed
houses, but were applied to lodging
houses. The inns of Oxford and
Cambridge, very numerous before the
introduction of colleges, were reg
ulated by the college authorities. The
Inns of Court were provided for the
accommodation of law students. In
olden times country houses of the
aristocracy, during the absence Of
the owners, were used as inns" or
guest-houses. 1t was then the rule to
hang out as signs the arms Of the
owners; hence the origin Of public
house signs.

Dodson's Liver Tone at Night
Will Straighten You Out by

Knock You Out of a
Days Work

Ii you are calomel user, next time
you are tempted to buy it ask your
Druggist if he can absolutely guaran-
tee the drug not to harm you. He
won't do it because he CAN'T do it..
But here is perfect substitute for
calomel which the Druggist does guar
antee-the famous Dodson's Liver
Tone. Smiths Drug Store will refund
your money without question if you
are not thoroughly satisfied.
Go to Smiths Drug Store whom you
are acquainted with-and ind out
about the great number of people who
are taxing this remarkable remedy and
feeling betteB keener, healthier, and
better able to enjoy life than ever
were when taking calomel.
Why? Because calomel is poison
one that may stay in the system,
and while seeming TO benefit you tenn
porarily, may do harm in the end. If
you hadn't felt these ill-effects so far,
1t is because you are fortunate enough
to have strong constitution.
Don't take the risk any longer. Get
a bottle of Dodson's Liver T,ne (5Oc J
and note how easily and naturally it
corrects all bilious conditions, how it
clears away that sick headache and
coated tongue, how it sets you right
without ache or grippe. The most
