Letter from Mr.. McCantS.

Editor County Record.
Please give me space in your pa
per for few lines to my friends,
that i may offer thanks to all who
have remembered me in time of
need, for surely their kindness has
been a great help to me and my fam
lily. 1t has been nearly thirteen
months since was able to do work
to amount to anything. / am still
unable to do manual labor and have
no other way of making money But
my health seems to be improving
now, and l trust that it will not be
long before l shall be we'll and strong
enough to stand exposure and hard
work again. This thought is pleas
ure to myself and family and will
doubtless be to my friends also, as
only one who has experienced it can
know anything about what it is to
be destitute or dependent upon 9TH
ers for support. But not mans will
be done, but Gods will. and may this
be kindly remembrance to all.
With best wishes to all for a merry
Christmas and happy new year from
Your grateful friend,
JOSEPH E MCCANTs.

Daily Habit the Great Essential.
Constipation is condition affect
ing all classes of all people and can
be permanently relieved only by &C.
quiring habits of regularity.
The most natural time for the
eliminative process is in the morning
when both the muscular and nervous
system are relaxed by sleep and rest.
When relief does not come readily,
it is an excellent plan to take mild
laxative at bedtime. Cathartics and
purgatives. that by the violence of
their quick action shock and disturb
the system, should not be employed.
An effective laxative remedy that
is very dependable, and which does
not gripe or otherwise disturb the
organs involved. is found in COM
bination of simple laxative herbs
known as DR. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep
sin that can be bought at the drug
store for fifty cents a bottle.
Mrs C C Allen, 215 Foam St, New
Monterey. Calf, wrote to DR. Cald-
we'll that she found DR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin just what Was needed

The second snow of the season
began falling here Monday afternoon
and continued we'll into the night.
In all about four inches fell, but the
ground was moist and the first
flakes melted. However,the temper
ature fell considerably, and the snow
was heavy enough to put the tele'
phone and electric light service out
of commission. A small quantity OF

For Children'S Cough.

You cannot use anything better
for your child's cough and cold than
DIR Kings New Discovery. 1t is pre-
pared from pine tar mixed with heal
ing and soothing balsams. 1t does
not contain anything harmful and is
slightly laxative, just enough to ex-
pei the poisons from the system. DR.
Kings New Discovery is antiseptlc-
kills the cold germs-raises the
phlegm - loosens the cough and
soothes the irritation. Don't put off
treatment. Coughs and colds often

the joy of living, we are consumed
with compassion for our brothers
who are perishing in the blood soak
ed trenches of Europe.
We are weighed down with sor-
row for the unfortunate women and
children who must bear the bur-
dens of the greatest and most de-
structive human blight the world
has ever known.
Our hearts are saddened with re.
gret that the meek and gentle spirit
of the Nazarene is forgotten in a
wild and bloody carnage of death
and destruction.
Nineteen hundred and fifteen, a
year of death, will soon reach its
own fitting end-in death.
There comes time in the life OF
every person when neither tongue
nor pen can express the language OF
the heart.
1t is so with Us as we write of this
Christmas day.
Our face should be turned toward
the Christ, yet in our vision we see
the crimson stained:felds of Europe,
the famine ridden land of Mexico,
the dying race Of the Christian
Armenians, on every hand the grim
and terrible spectre of harsh, violent,
sudden and agonizing death.

New Ordinances.

In this issue of The Record two
new ordinances are published for
the edifcation of the public. These
ordinances have just been passed
and ratified by the Mayor and AL
dermen of the town and with their
passage became effective, and will
be enforced by the police officers.
Both of the ordinances were enacted
for the public good and it is to be
hoped that the provisions OF each
will be strictly complied with by all.
The ordinance relating to and pre-
scribing punishment for cruelty to
horses or mules is good one and
should not only be ON the statute
books of every incorporated town in
the country, but should be rigidly
enforced. 1t is humane in it's ten
sdency, and the person who is not
humane by nature should pay the
penalty exacted for cruelty to these
beasts of burden.

Motoring and Health.
I'M the Providence Bulletin.


A few years ago a great deal of
credit was given to the automobile as
a promising means of physical better
ment for part Of the human race
that had deprived itself Of needed con-
tact with outdoor life. The merit in
inhaling and keeping out in the air
was expatiated upon. 1t was repre-
scented that persons who had become
strangers to country air, the breeze
and the sunshine. would be made over
by the certain popularity Of motoring.
As at that time much was being said
for pure air and sunshine as neglected
life-saying agencies, the motor car did,
indeed, seem calculated to prove q
boon to people whose business and So
cial program had included little travel
except that in badly ventilated and
sometimes overheated conveyances.
, There was undoubtedly much truth in
what was said about its recreative pos
sibilities But all blessings are sub
jet to abuse. The automobile is under
Indictment by the health specialists
now, who recommend walking as a
remedy for the increased death rate
| among those in early old age or late
middle life traceable to diseases Of the
circulation.

BULGARIAN STATEMENT.

SOFIA, December 5. via London, De-
cember 8:
After the defeat of the Serbians last
Monday near Prisrend the remains of
the Serbian army retreated toward
Djakora and along the Balidrin
toward Dibra and Scutari, pursued
by our troops.
Friday our column following the Ser
bians along the Balidrini overlook
them in positions on the left bank of
the LUNA, and energetically at
tackled and dispersed the Serbians,
who fed precipitately. The Serbians
lost here 100 field guns and howitz-
ers, 200 motor cars. a great quantity
of war materials, $50 transport wag-
ons and large quantities of uniforms
and equipment. The road along the
Balidrini to Kularjuma was blocked
with the booty.
Serbo- Montenegrin troops retreating
toward Djanto evacuated this place
at the sight of our troops. leaving
behind six howitzers. Our cavalry
continues the pursuit.
According to statements of prisoners,
King Peter of Serbia had to be car
ried on a stretcher, because the
march along the Drina river was
even impossible for horses.
