How We Hurt Ourselves.

If you have anything to sell
in this community labor, crops
or material the people here
must have money with which to
buy it.
If you keep sending your
money away from home it will
be a long time getting back; it
may never get back at all.
If all of it were sent away and
none of it came back, how long
would this town last?

which may be useful in her
school work some day. A great
many lecturers roam the country,
preying on school teachers, and
some of them are very cruel,
talking to them so long that the
poor things have to sit up until
morning, when they get home,
to get their daily test papers
corrected.
School teachers salaries range
from $50 a month up-but not
far enough up to make them
dizzy. On her salary, the
teacher must dress nicely, buy
herself things for her work
which the city is too poor to get,
go to twenty-nine lectures and
concerts year, pay her way to
district, county and State in
stitutes, and enjoy herself during
a three months vacation which
her salary takes every year. In
addition, the teacher is supposed
to hoard away vast sums of
money, so that when she be-
comes too nervous and cross to
teach, at the age of fifty or
thereabouts, she can retire and
live happily ever after on her
income. Philadelphia Bulletin.

"DOdsouS Liver Tone" Starts Your Liver
Better Than CalOmei and You Don't
Lose a Days Work

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work
pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambi-
tion. But take no nasty, dangerous
calomel because it makes you sick and
you may lose days work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and cramping.

he had never seen the moon run

the safe side.
You Yorkville people that are
striving to spoil the. name of
the town, please go slow, now.
