The above ads are what we may
expect when the full effect Of the
mail order trading is felt in your
town and hundreds of others sim
ilarly situated.
No community can exist without
the cooperation that comes from
home trading. When money is
spent at home, it means that the
merchant who receives it builds
new buildings or additions to his
store, that he is enabled to keep
a larger and better variety stock
and that he buys in larger quanti-
ties and thereby can sell at lower
prices.
Merchants Prosperity Helps
The Community
The fact that he makes these
improvements and carries larger
stock means that the larger taxes
he then pays reduces the taxes on
your property SO that it is true
that what you actually pay for
a thing is not always the final
price.
1t is an old adage that cit is
what we save, not what We earn
that makes us rich," and ii your
expenses run higher and the value
of the property decreases, which
is the ultimate result if everyone
neglects their home town when
they spend their money, you will
be worse off at the end Of the
year than at the beginning.
Certain communities have tried
the cooperative plan where prac-
tically no money is used, simply
an exchange of commodities need
ed by one person for that needed
by another. These communities,
whenever they have been rightly
managed, have been phenomenal
ly prosperous and are content
ed people because the value OF
their produce stays at home.
Before you form the habit OF
catalog house buying, just stop
and ask yourself if you really wish
your home merchants to fail or go
out of business and if you really
wish your town to grow smaller
and property less valuable or are
you willing to stand by your home
merchant and help him to help
you.

MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE Take a glass Of "Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat - forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted author ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid neys in their efforts to. expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, shal p pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy. full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To ne1trali2e these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; :; take a. tablespoonful in a glass Of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to ne1tralize the acids in urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder weakness
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, and makes a delightful efferYes- cent Hthla-water drink.

THEN-and-NOW

One hundred and thirty three years ago yesterday the America the 74-inch line-of- -battleship was launched at Portsmouth, N. H. This was known as the first Amer jean man o'war If the word dread nought had then been in use the America would have been its na- tion's first dreadnought. It was in that day a most formidable battle ship and was built under the di- rection of Paul Jones the most fla nous naval hero of the Revolution, and it was built for Jones to drive the British from American waters. When Jones returned to Philadei- pllia in February 1761, from Eu- rope, after his battle on the Bon Homme Richard with the Serapis, Congress rendered him a vote of thanks. For months thereafter he spent his time designing and work inc out details of his new ship in the hurry to get it to sea. But it took time then as well as now to build a battleship and before the America could be finished the war ended. Congress then presented the America to Trance for the A gun French ship 'Magnifique" destroyed in the harbor of Boston. Jones then joined the Russian Navy and the first line-of -battleship the United States ever built never had the opportunity to show its fighting power under the American flag and with an American crew.

ARkANaAs tIAwl lsssNeas,

At the present tSrna the state of Arkansas presents a condition of
 which it can hardly be proud. There exists a situation which is a detriment
 Co any state fer when it ig arnpcssihle
 to secure the enforcement of tfaS law
 and maintain the support Of such by
 public opinion, it is indeed a sad and deplorable state of affairs, but when
 there arises an organised ana deter
 mined effort to block the course of
 justice and to eaA4avor by fntiTnfda- ten to sway the action of the federal authorities, there is disclosed a mef1@ ace to state and nation.
 Arkansas miners should realize the
 importance of abiding by the warm ling which has been given to them in the proclamation issued by the pres ident in ordering to that state a squadron of federal cavalry. It should be understood that the mining trou- bles present a situation in which jus- tice should prevail and in which justice can be obtained only through the ae-
 tion of the courts in conformity with the law. The federal courts would be approaching an interesting condition [ if they were to be directed by threats from lawless leaders and refused to give fair and impartial trial to these
 who have participated in or prompted
 disorders.
 The proclamation becomes effective I this noon. It places the responsibility for further trouble upon the people of the Arkansas coal field. 1t is time for them to recognize the fact that the mandates of the United States
 lcourt are going to be carried out and
 that whatever opposition is made | thereto should be done in a, legal man.

REASON FOR THANKS.

It is a noticeable fact in connec- ton with the Thanksgiving proclama- tions this year that peace holds a
 prominent place. That is unquestion-
 ably one of the important things for
 which this country must give thanks
 this year. With the horrible spectacle
 of war among the nations across the
 sea, others just entering and several upon the brink, this country has the
 greatest reasons for aDprecia+ing the peaceful condition that prevails. It is not a new, but a well established policy of the country to which empha-
 sis is added each year. It cannot help being a. lofty example to the world. It cannot help bringing greater in fluence to this country among nations and it cannot fail to be invaluable to the interests of QUE own national wei fare. Tn every way is the policy of peace preferable to that of war, and each European outbreak only serves .ta, atrengtben ibis counkr TT fits eRQ. !.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Stands Ready with Truth,

Mr. Editor: In the issue of the 3rd inst. under the heading of Danielson news there appeared an article Wants Definite Data" I have not the least suspicion who the writer was and do not care, but think he might have signed his name for publication or even stated that he was a taxpayer. and inasnuch as your humble ser- want took the floor as often and more frequently than most anyone there without it was our veteran phote- grHpher (who seemed to ignore par- Ifiamentary r71les) I naturally take the fnfereneeS set forth in the article to be as applicable to me as anyone, and if the writer wants further infor- nation. names or data, either produced in private or public (preferably in public) I am his whortleberry. While am aware that am probably in- capable of contending with such a master mind (being nothing but reg ular country Reuben, an old hay seed1 yet nevertheless realizing that truth is mightier than fiction, or speculation and having been on the gridiron on several occasions with larger corpora tions and higher tribunals than exist in Danielson and fully convinced nay- self that pure, tfnalIoyed truth will even vanquish the "old man" and all his followers, venture this prop osition, and I wish to cay remarks lAdtS 1 aiduO AHCiI -i1tO th1SASHtatSea11S1c compared to some things eommuni- cated to me by taxpayers q assurne4 while going out of the hall that eve ming. am not looking for notoriety, or any emoluments this town could confer.

CALLS FOR PROMPT ACTION.

IE Is most unfortunate that the .country should be threatened with an epidemic Of the foot and mouth dis- iease at this time, but the stringent :MEeasures which are being taken to lcontroI the situation are in every way abnstfhed. It is through the prompt es- establishment of qt1arantines wherever sthere are suspected cattle that the aaest effective aid can be given to the eradication of the disease and it is by such measures that much worse con- Edition can be prevented.
 The condition of the cattle market during the past few years has been had enough without this outbreak, but dts appearance at the same time with tfle increased demands for beef from
 tf1e countries at war makes it doubly .burdensorne. Every precaution which f9 taken now, however, by the employ tment of radical measures which ex- tperience and science have shown to be necessary, contributes to the relief of Lthe situation. Safety lies in such a course. regardless Of what effect il may produce upon the Immediate SUD- suIy of beef. which according to the packers ought to be slight. The effect will certainly be governed entirely by
 fhe success in restricting it to a. small aree. Upon that also win rest the cost iof meeting the situation and the num- her of animals which will have to be
 destroyed
 When a stocIUard has not been closed for such trouble before in fifty wears fE1e need Of prompt and positive factipn can be appreciated. The diseass lean be successfully treated. but tho important requirement. at the present time is tn check the distribution of the contagion.

eERMANY,s NAVAL RESULTS.

It may be that Germany feels en- outraged by the results which have been obtained by her warships when in action, or it may be that there is feeling that greater contributions to the war should be made by the navy which has thus far done little or nothing, but whatever is beck of the activity there promises to be greater participation by the navies Of Germany and England than has char acterized the war thus far.
 Even if the German navy is restless through being bottled up 1t has the good excuse Of being checked by a superior force since Great Britain could lose ship for ship until Ger { many's navy was wiped out and then have g. respectable naval representa- ton for maintaining her position. Wherever German vessels have had
 an opportunity to get info action they
 have displayed plenty of ability. The S11 btlsafinSs hayp done a great amount Of destructive work and those cruisers which have been operating as free iances have a SizeaTole list of warships
 as well as Enerchantnen to their cred 1 it. Thus far in naval losses the hen- ors ars with Germany. The less by l tonnage to the allies amounts to al-
 most three times es much as the war ship tonnage loss to Germany azl6 Austria. It is but natural, therefore l despite the great British navy that ths people of England get a bit nervol: when a hostile fleet is able to gei within ten miles Of their shores before
 being discovered and then escape
 There is little doubt as to what tht
 naval result must be in the end, bu
 in the meantime Germany Is effec | lively doing it's worst.

aERuKE TO DEMOCRATIC POLICY

There are those who are attributing Ele result of Tuesdays election to the war. to the progress1ves and to various DGher things which had no reason to Influence the votes Of the people The idea is to dodge the real underlying pause of the republican victory and what it means if it means anything. < Even the Boston Post. an admins kation paper, finds it is no time to crescent or try to uphold a biased 6dsition.N Looking the facts straight fr the face it declares: There is no Eenee in trying to avoid see1ng-nor has 9he Post any disposition to do It .taaa& the elections of Tuesday show nd Q remarkable revival of repubiican peranEfh and n contamination Of vic- knriss that much encourage tho paTtY's Bendexa and give rise to some concern nn The xart of f1ae democracy. How Rver the result may be analysed, they nann0t be held as au endorsement of efle administration.
