New Era in Charles Town, Ransom
and jefferson County.

The organization of the Charles Town
Ransom Board of Trade demonstrates
that new era has dawned for this COM
-munity. An awakening has come to
facts which long ago should have been
recognized; lessons long UNDECIDED are
now pressing for application,
I'VE have beer living upon ourselves
far too long," We have traded with
each other. bought and sold to and from
each other. swopped dollars with each
other until the time has come when we
must reach out in the world around us
and gather in returns from the fruits of
our industry at home and thus reap from
our great natural advantages. LAS a
means to this end the Board of Trade,
as now constituted, is destined to be
most potent, said an influential citizen.
The concentration of the boosting
spirit, in its organization properly di-
rected BY its wise and progressive lead
ers, will be sustained by the member
ship, with the same unanimity which
marked their selection, cannot fail to
project successful campaigns OF indus
trial conquent, which will bring captive
to our midst trade and manufacture to
help US and be themselves benefited
thereby
Now that to our many physical adj
vantages, to our splendid location and
to our exceptionally favorable surround
ings has been added the personal equa-
ton of combined determination to press
forward with vigor in the race of prog
ress along all lines of healthy growth
and trade, the results are not in doubt.
A greater, better and a happier COM
rnunity has been BORN
It's every citizen is or will become a
persistent booster.
The end of the knocker has come.
EXCELSIOR is now our slogan.
Right about face.
Forward! March

The Dead Volunteer.

Here lies a clerk who half his life had
spent
ToiIing at ledger's in city gray,
Thinking that 30 his days would drift
swsy
With no lance broken in life's tourna-
ment;
But ever 'twixt the books and his
bright eyes
The cleaning eagles Of the legions
came,
And horses charging under phantom
skies
Went laundering past beneath the ORR
famine.
And now those waiting dreams are sat
isfed,
For in the end he heard the bugle
call,
And to his country then he gave his
When in the first high hour of life he
died
And falling thus, he wants no recon-
pense
Who found his battle in the last re-
sort;
Nor needs he any hearse to bear him
hence
Who goes to join the men of Agin-
court.

When You Take a Bath.

Don't Just lie and snzzle. Rpb
and scrub the skin thoroughly from
head to foot. Massage the flesh.
This stirs the blood and washes off
the dead skin so that the body is
really cleaned and the pores opened
up. All this promotes h"a|:h. 1t
helps the body to get id of the waste.
If you don't take bath every morn
ing, 90 over yourself with a rough
towel. This will help some. 1t is
especially necessary in winter to
keep the skin open. In summer one
perspires. and this eliminates the
waste that the skin pores are sup
posed to carry away. In winter
there is none of this openness in the
pores. The body is then like a
house with all tie doors and win
dows tightly closed so that no fresh
air can circulate and carry off the
waste gases. Some prominent man
has said that those who take bath
every morning belong to differ
ent order of beings from those who
follow weekly Tor monthly bath
schedule. A daily bath is a valua-
bic education and physical and
mental tonic. Try it, if you are not
already a convert.-Golden Age.

A pleasing calm, while broad

Of corn,
And planters only prosper who
