Mount Sterling Testimony Remains

Time is the best test of truth.
Here is a Mount Sterling story that
has stood the test of time. 1t is
story with a point which will come
straight home to many of us.

Mt. Sterling, KY, says: II have been
a hard worker all my life. When

that way wrenched my back.

Pills at Duerson's Drug Store
They soon made me feel well and

OVER THREE YEARS LATER,
Mr.. Forman said: ~ am glad to
confirm what ! said about Doan's
Kidney Pills before; they did more
for me than any kidney medicine L
ever used"

A SERUM FOR TYPHUS

The Royal Hungarian Expert
mental Station says it has discov-
cred serum which is specific
for typhus. If that is true the
war, with its incidental scorges has
resulted in great advance of med
ical science. Typhus, a deadly
disease which is not as often
stated, typhoid fever, is almost q
plague at times and in places in
Europe. 1t is slow disease re-
quiring careful nursing and neces-
a long period of disability.
There is high mortality rate. A
specific which will cure ninet, six
per cent. of cases, as it is stated
the Hungarian serum has done,
would save thousands of lives each
year and in time would be the
means of as much salvage as thCre
has been waste during the war.

MAKING A MAN

Hurry the baby as fast as you can,
Hurry him, worry him, make him a
man.
Off with his baby clothes, get him
in pants,
feed him on brain food and make
him advance.
Hustle him as soon as he is able
to walk,
Into the grammar school; cram him
with talk.
Fill his poor head full of figures
and facts,
Keep on g jumping them in till it
cracks.
Once boys grew up at rational
rate;
Now we develop a man while you
wait.
Rush him through college, compel
him to grab
OF every known subject, dip and
dab.
Get him in business and after the
cash,
All by the time he can grow NOUS
tache.
Let him forget he was ever boy,
Make gold his god and its jingle
his joy.
Keep him hustling and clear out
of breath
Until he wins-nervous prostration
and death.

Do you know that the old rut
you are travelling around in is be-
coming worn, and is getting deeper
and deeper, and more impossible
for the future? A change of en-
vironment is a good thing and is
often productive of excellent re-
suits. Now just for change sup
pose we all go to church next
Sunday and listen to what the
preacher has to say. He has some
good ideas that are well worth
hearing, and we may even imbibe
few chunks of wisdom that win
be well worth storing up in our
fountain of knowledge. AT any
rate, the change win be good for
us, and it win be an hour pleas
antly spent. Let's go!

A piece of refuse in the street
or yard, or elsewhere, is just
one piece and is easily picked up
But when it is allowed to remain
from day to day and is joined by
others and still others it soon be-
comes an unsightly, dirty and filthy
collection of rubbish, detriment
to the good name of the town and
a menace to the health of our
people. Who's for picking them upf
Who's for Improvement, and pro-
gress, and more sanitary measuresY
If left for one or two persons to
do, it will never be done. If every
body does it, there will soon be
nothing left to be done.

At Princeton professor Of
eugenics, or, let us say, an apostle
Of the new gospel Of race regen-
Grafton, through the application of
the stock farm code to the human
family-this professor announces,
as startling discovery, that the
old families are dying out and in
sists upon some steps to prevent
CHS decay.
There is nothing can prevent it,
as there as no reason for suppos-
ing there is any loss in it.
Because the old families have
died out, either in numbers or in
power, the hereditary monarchy has
disappeared or is rapidly disappear
ing from civilized nations.
In order to give that system a
stronger hold upon the people,
these monarchs proclaimed the fact
that they were vice regents of God
and that they ruled by divine right
The delusion or superstition still
prevails in Germany and Austria.
It has been greatly shaken in Italy.
It does not exist in the Balkan ma
tions. Turkey clings to it and
Russia holds to it firmly; but it is
a doctrine that does not accord
with that men know of each other
and of life, and so it is being repud-
lated by the people.
Human history shows that the
families established by great men
die out gradually, and that in the
course of a few years they disap-
pear or are mingled with and lost
among the great body OF the people.
Cations records show this and Gal
toms contentious, we believe, are at
the base of most of the modern
pleas for eugenics.
1t is idle to regret these condi-
tons. 1t would be unfortunate II
these great families persisted, gen
Grafton after generation, and cen
tury after century. The best
thing that can happen to the race
is to absorb the descendants of
these mighty men of the past and
then develop new dynasty of
power and capacity, "lest one good
custom corrupt the world. Louis

CENsURE FOR OUR CITY

We have again given Professor
CuthiH space for an arraignment of
Ocala-not because we agree with
him, but because ne has a right to be
heard and has some truth in what
he says.
Mr.. Cuthill assumes that because
the Star lives in the town and he lives
in the country, the Star is ignorant of
county sentiment and he is wise to it.
Mr.. Cuthill forgets that the Star
every week meets people from all
over the county, and interviews them
and tries to obtain their opinions. Mr..
Cuthill is far more at the bottom of
well than the Star is. Both Mr..
Cuthill and the Star are shut in by
their environment, but his is a well
and ours is a good sized lake with a
field around it.

THEY ARE THINKING

"Let them Think" was Count Won
Bernstorff's remark when he was
asked what he thought the American
people would think of the destruction
of the Lusitania. They will do that,
of course, and they wish to think as
charitably as can be of the men and
the policy that caused the great ship
to go down with the loss of the lives
of many Americans. They wish to
think as charitably as they can of the
killing of so many women and child
rem. And they wish to think calmly
and to resort to their reason instead
of to passion. They wish to think
that the nations presumably in the
forefront of civilization can even
carry on war without killing babies
