A western buyers is inordinately
proud of the fact that one of his an
cestors affixed his name to the Decla-
ration of independence. At the time
the salesman called the buyer was
signing a number Of checks and af-
fixed his signature with many a curve
and flourish. The salesman's patience
becoming exhausted in waiting for
the buyer to recognize him, he finally
observed:
"You have a fine signature, Mr.. So
and-So."
"Yes," admitted the buyer, Il
should have. One of my forefathers
signed the Declaration of Indepen-
dence."

CALCUTTA MAKES
IMMENSE PROFITS

Calcutta, July 31-War has brought
great prosperity to the jute trade,
mainly on account of the great de-
mand for bags. In May alone Calcut-
ia sent to England 100000 bags,
half as many as in a full year of
peace, and to Russia $500, 900. South
America and the United States have
also been very large customers. In
the last completed year, during two
thirds of which war was being waged,
the United States took 73,000,000
bags, valued at over $1,000, 900, and
two thirds of BengaIs output of

THOSE WHO WALK ALONE.

Woknen there are on earth, most
sweet and high,
Who lose their own, and walk be-
reft and lonely,
Loving that one lost heart until they
die,
Loving it only.
And so they never see beside them
grow
Children, whose coming is like
breath Of flowers
Consoled by subtler loves the angels
Through childless hours.
Good deeds they do; they comfort and
they bless
In duties others put of till the NOR
row;
Their look is balm, their touch is
tenderness
To all in sorrow.
Betimes the world smiles at them as
'twere shame,
: This maiden guise, long after
youths departed;
But in Gods Book they bear another
name
'The faithful-hearted."
Faithful in life, and faithful until
death,
Such souls, in sooth, illume with
lustre splendid
That glimpsed glad land wherein, the
Vision saith,
Earth's wrongs are ended.

Whoopln0 Couch.

The Bureau Of Laboratories Of the

conducting an extensive investigation
Of whooping cough, and Dr.. Paul Lut.
finger recently reported to the Medi'
cal association of the greater city OF

inquiry.
Among the most interesting con.
illusions reached is that the early part
Of the disease is the most infectious.

It Is rarely found In the sputum after
the first week Of the paroxysmal, or
whooping. stage, 30 there would seem
to be no necessity for the child to be
kept in the house for more than q
week after the whoop appears"
Doctor Luttinger says physicians IN
derestimate the seriousness Of the dis
ease and fail to report cases. Only
rs per cent Of cases in q certain area
were reported, and probably not more
than 10 per cent are reported in

CENTURY OF MAP CHANGING
How Lines Have Been Moved Back and
Forth In Europe In Constant
Series Of Warfare.

A hundred years ago Napoleon Bona
parte, who had some plans for the re-
arranging Of the map Of Europe, went
down In defeat before those plans
were completed. Others rearranged
the map Of Europe. but not ultimately
according to his notions. For half Of
the century after his Waterloo the
process continued briskly. For the
second half Europe was more settled.
There could be no more effective re-
view Of the century than Prof. A. N.
Wheeler's famous lecture on the bat
tie Of Waterloo.
Perhaps the centenary Of the turning
point in Napoleon's career would ar
rest little attention, were 1t not for
the upheaval Of Europe now in process.
Napoleon exalted war. and his down.
fall but shifted the laurels to other
brows, while the process Of exaltation
went on. That which Is now in OPP
Grafton Is a process Of wars downfall.
How much Of alteration Of the map
will follow Is uncertain, nor is 1t es-
sential. It is probable that we have
arrived near to the end of map chang
ing. as such. And the chiefest rea-
son for recognizing the downfall Of
Napoleon is its prophecy, about to be
fulfilled after the lapse Of a century

Daughter Testifies
{ For Mother
States She Was Relieved Of Stom'
ach and Catarrhal Troubles
by Master Medicine Tanlac

Many have testified to the
great benefits they have received
from the master medicine, Tan
lac, but the most remarkable
statement so far made comes
from Mrs. Charles Pulliam, who
lives on R-R. No. 3, Wichita,
Kans., in which she relates the
benefits Tanlac brought 10 her
mother, Mrs. A. ]. Myers, who
makes her home with her, she
said:
my mother who is seventy
five years old, has been troubled
with her stomach for years and
years, gas would form on her
stomach, causing her to have
great pains and awful spells of
belching. She also suffered from
catarrh, which gave her a lot of
trouble. She had not walked
any distance for a long time I'M
til she began taking Taulac
about three weeks ago.
Now she is not bothered with
the pains in her stomach, can
eat anything she wants, and she
says her stomach trouble has all
left her. Mother says it is the
best medicine she ever saw, and
that it is worth its weight in
gold. Everybody says she looks
better than she has for years,
and to prove it to US she walked
all around the place the other
day and enjoyed it." E.
Taulac is not cure-all, but as
a general tonic and up-builder it
gives perfect satisfaction to all
who take it that are suffering
from stomach, liver, kidney and
catarrhal ailments.
Tanlac is now on sale in Bax-
ter Springs at the M. E. Reddy
Drug store at $1.OO a bottle three
for STE or six bottles for SIS. 90.

to make this town what it is, to
> build up our schools, and our
churches, and to create all of the
other advantages of which we
are so proud.
His money has always been
ready to help along any laud-
able enterprise, and his voice and
hands have ever been at work in
the interest of you and yours, as
we'll as his.
Spend as much of your money
in this town, with our own peo-
pie, as is possible this Christmas.
We are making this last plea
in behalf of the business men of
this town without their know
ledge, and it goes to you without
their sanction. We are doing it
because we think you are all a
just people, and that wherever
possible you will spend your
money in such a way that it will
be of benefit to all of the people
as we'll as yourself.
For this is our home town, and
home, you know, will always be
Just what we make it.

on its maintenance depends the pros

And how We have misused and neg

plowed down the hill against the
fences where II IL allowed to grow
