Ozark Mothers Used To Be

good application at night will, in al, most every case, prevent night at tack.
 But let Mrs. Givan speak for herself, She writes-"I have used Wick: vap- O-Rub on my little girl for croup. l rubbed it on her chest and throat and it Is just splendid, and I wasn't afraid to go to bed at night"
 Mrs. Cave says-'I find Vap-O-Rub the best thing I have eve.' used for colds, sore throat, croup and sll kinds of skin troubles for children. l could not do without it now, as it saves calling a doctor"
 The penetrative quality of Vick's makes it excellent also for inflamma- tions of the skin. such as burns, bruises, itchings, piles and muscular soreness. In these cases, particularly in cases of burns. it seems to draw out the inflammation and has a de- lightfully cooling effect. Three sizes, 25c. soc or s100 The Wick Chemical Company, Greensboro.

 For Group.

Many mothers. besides those oi Ozark, Mo, have been afraid to sleep at night for fear of being awakened by that dread croupy cough Mrs. H. H. Giyan and Mrs. J. J. Cave, both of Ozark, have found, in common with many other Missouri mothers, that a jar of Vap-O-Rub in the house in sures good nights sleep.
 Vap-O-Rub is the external treatment for all forms of croup or cold troubles, introduced here from the South last winter. It is in salve form and you just rub 1t over the throat and chest, covering with a warm flannel cloth The body warmth releases antiseptic vapors that are inhaled with each breath, loosening the phlegm, and. in addition, Vick's is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, relieving the tightness and soreness.

After Grip Then
 Spring Feuer?

This is the time of year to look out for trouble! We feel weak-our blood seems hot-no appetite.-It's time to clean house! This is when the blood is clogged and we suffer from what is commonly called cold.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov. cry purifies the blood and entirely eradicates the poisons that breed and feed disease. Pure blood is essential to good health. The weak, rundown. debilitated condition which so many people experience is commonly the eff. feet of impure blood. Medical Discov. cry" not only cleanses the blood of im- purities, but increases the activity of the blood-making glands, and enriches the body with pure, rich blood.

Sudden Death Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

The close connection between the heart and the kidneys is well known nowadays. When kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is increased and the heart functions are attacked. When the kidneys no longer pour forth waste, uremic poisoning occurs and the per son dies, and the cause is often given as heart disease, or disease of brain or lungs.
 It is a good insurance against such risk to send 10 cents for a large trial package of "Anuric"-the latest discovery of Dr. Pierce. When you suffer from backache. frequent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired worn-out feeling. get "Anuric" at the druggist. It's 37 times more potent than lithia, dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar.

WOULD REVIVE OLD CUSTOM

Mr.. Vandiver says he will chal-
lenge his rival aspirants for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor to
join him in a tour of the State, that
they may all speak from the same
platform on the same day, between
now and the primary election in Aug
ust. He says at was custom in
the old days for rival candidates to
travel about together and let the vot-
ers compare Them" and he would ere
vive that old custom. 1t would save
the voters time and insure one big,
well attended meeting in each i'm
portant place, instead of a series of
poorly attended individual rallies. F"
The suggestion is certainly a good
one, and we would like to see it car
ried out. If the people knew that all
the candidates for gubernatorial NOM
nation were to appear and speak at
the same place on the same day, they
would gather together to hear them
in large numbers-make grand hol-
iday of the occasion-as it would give
them all an opportunity to see and
hear every candidate and the better
make up their decision as to which
one would enlist their support and
votes. 1t would also put vim, zest
and interest in the campaign among
voters that no other method of cam
poigning would. A meeting of this
sort at the principal town in each
county would attract the people from
the most distant parts of each coun-
ty and create great political hur-
rah. Let's have the joint campaign
by all means, for they would
also attract all the candidates for
other State offices and give them a
better opportunity to mix with and
get acquainted with the people and
he people with them.

SUSTAINING POWER
OF KIND WORDS

That cheering words have real
sustaining and inspiring force, the ex-
perience of The Times editor during
his comparatively brief residence in
Pennington abundantly testifes.
Never before in our entire newspaper
experience, we believe, have our eff
forts to publish a real newspaper
met with such universal approval
throughout the communities where we
have worked.
That we fully appreciate the many
splendid words of appreciation that
have been constantly coming to us,
from throughout the entire commune
ity we are struggling to serve
is but weak expressions Of our real
feelings. We truly delight in hard
and conscientious work, especially,
when such labor appears to be salts
factory to our clients, and the uni
versatility of such expressions indicate
to US that our labors here are prov
ing to be productive of much good,
to all parties concerned.
In further testimony of the SINGER
ity of such expressions, it is only nee
essary to refer to the large number of
new subscribers and renewals that
are constantly coming in, even with
out personal solicitation. Another
thing that adds sincerity to the large
measure of encouragement we are
receiving, is the increased feeling of
confidence that is already manifest
among the advertisers, and others
who should be advertisers. All are
apparently becoming impressed with
the fact that The Times is again on
a substantial basis, and that it is rap
idly getting into many additional
homes, which enables it to give them
something real and tangible for the
money they invest, or may hereafter

There were several convictions in
the Circuit Court this week for vio-
lations of the local option law, and
fines of $500 and $500 with an addi-
tional punishment of six months in the
county Jail were imposed. The vic
tins will find in this no gain or profit

this were not so, there could be no
organized society or security for
those disposed to do right. There
fore to defy or openly disregard the

of bad and undesirable citizenship,

LAURENCE SMITH
CONCERT ORCHESTRA

The rehearsals of this group of mu-
sicians have recently been character
lied by full attendance and some
steady, hard work. A much stronger
organization has been effected, and
last week the following officers were
elected: Concertmeister, Mr.. R. w.
Voorhees,; Business Manager, Delos
Johns; Secretary, G. T. Gentges; Lii
brarian, Mrs. Beard
Mr.. Laurence A. Smith, the con-
ductor, has brought each individual
up to a number one standard. He
has the ideals of our great conduc-
tors and has received compliments
and well merited praise from some of
the best musicians of the Middle
West. He has been particularly sue
cessful in his selection of music for
the orchestra, as is shown by the en-
thusiam with which his players work
in rehearsals. Indeed, the rehears-
ais have become a delightful feature
to each member as well as an occas-
ion for some very earnest work.
Mr.. Smith makes no boasts, but
gives Pennington the music that all
true lovers of the art desire. In the
next concert to be given by this group
of ambitious young people, the date
of which will be announced later,
there will be rendered selections from
Bach, Rubenstein, Gounod, Mozart,
Nevin, Strauss and others.
The slogan unanimously adopted by
the orchestra is "No Boasts, no mis-
representations, but 100 per cent eff
ficiency." Watch for the date of their
next concert.

At special election in st. Louis
county Tuesday, a 100000 bond
proposition for permanent good roads
was carried by the overwhelming ma
jority of about six to one. That the
people of that county have delved in
to the subject of improved roads the
vote indicates, and they are to be
congratulated on their splendid solu-
ton of this momentous question. The
people of st. Francois county should
take heart from this, and determine
to pull themselves out of the mud.

hurtful--exceedingly So to every

pute the fact that it is-then its
faithful enforcement is the obliga-
ion of society and it's constituted au-
thorities. More especially is thfs' true
when the infraction is knowingly and
wilfully perpetrated, as it was in the
case of these offenders. rja
Because they had been accustomed
to buying and selling all kinds of in
toxicants under a license system,
when that license is taken from them
by legal decree of the people there
is no excuse for them to assume that
they have the rigth to sell without Ii
cense. No man has that right any
where in this country, and depriving
him of license to sell liquor is not
in any way infringing upon his per-
sonal liberty or any right that he ev-
err had-for he never had such right
or liberty; he could only have it in a
community where there is no law.
So, if they would be loyal citizens
Of their country and State and enjoy
the respect of people whose respect
is worth their while, the sooner they
and other offenders learn to respect
the law the better it will be for them
as well as the community in which
they abide; for with public officers
who will faithfully do their duty the
laws will be enforced and offenders
will sooner or later come to grief.
The local option law has been adop-
ted in this county by a large major
ity of the legal voters, and so long
as it is the law it should be enforced
without fear or favor. 1t is encour-
aging to see the good start the Of
ficers and courts of this county have
made, and all law-respecting people
stand ready to commend them.
