Plus THE TENTH.

The recent death of Pope Plus, the
Tenth, marks the passing of one of
the most lovable men who has ever
held that high position. He did not
possess the rare intellectual attain
ments of his immediate predecessor,
Leo the Thirteenth. He was more
like Plus the Ninth, of whom Carlisle
once wrote: "A simple, sanity
man, good country priest, invested
Unexpectedly with the tiara, takes up
the New Testament and declares that
this henceforth will be his rule of
governing"
These words apply to the life and
character of the dead Pope. He had
passed his four score years and be-
came heart-broken over the great
war now raging in Europe. His last
words were prayer that peace
might be speedily restored to Europe.
His elevation to the papacy was not
of his own seeking; indeed he sought
in every way to escape the respon-
sibilities of the position. 1t is said
that when he left Venice to attend
the conclaVe of cardinals to select a
successor to Leo the Thirteenth. he
bought return ticket, little think
ing he was to remain in Rome. never
again to return to his home
OF the many stories told of his
simple and unostentatious life. is this
very touching one: When elected

of the new compulsory education law
in that state and they were all we'll

fact that the law has been in opera
ton only a short while, it is giving
general satisfaction The age limit
is now from eight to twelve years
old, but these North Carolinians ex-

one instance was cited where a man
who had several children, the ages
ranging from Is years old down, had
not understood the law and scutthcm

could read or write when they en-

required four months, all of them
had learned to read and write and
the father was so delighted that he
kept them all at school.

TAKE DQDSON'S AND
STAY qF YOUR FEET

Taking baBpA means staying
home for th$ H3y-take Dodson's
Liver Tone md Save a days work.
II an attacH of constipation or bill
Iiousness hits you, there's no need to
take dose of calomel and spend at
least day getting over the effects
of 1t. The Standard Drug Company
sell Dodson's Liver Tone, which they
guarantee takes the place of calo-
mel and starts lazy liver without
bad after-effects.
Dodson's Liver Tone does all the
good that calomel can do, yet it is
absolutely harmless to young people
and old. 1t is a pleasant tasting veg
etable liquid that will relieve consti-
patton or sour stomach or other trou-
bles that go along with a lazy liver,
without restriction of habit or diet.
You don't leave off any of the things
you regularly do when you take
Liver Tone.
A large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone sells for so cents. Get the gen.

it the druggist from whom you
bought it will give your money back
with smile.
