Ballad Early Form Of Newspaper.

The ballad, or that form of it which
is associated with the broadside, was
one predecessor of the newspaper as a
commentator on events. 1t was writ
ten for the people and sold to the
people. Printed on poor paper and
passed from hand to hand, copies Of
early ballads were seldom preserved.
Fortunately several men of the sew
enteenth century began to make col
lcctons of ballads, and the copies OF
broadsdes printed before 100 that
are now in existence are supposed to
number about 10000 Soon after 100
the printed form of the ballad was
changed, the black letter" disappear
ing, but the ballad continued as a
chronicler of happenings and com
mentator on political, military and
other public events until the middle OF
the nineteenth century, and in the
United States as well as England the
topical" song of today perpetuates
the satirical function of the ballad.

'CASCARETS" FOR A
COLD, BAD BREATH
OR SICK HEADACHE
Best for liver and bowels, for bilious
ness, sour stomach and
constipation.
Get a 10-cent box now.

Get lO-cent box now.
Furred Tongle, Bad Colds, Indiges-
tion, Sallow Skin and Miserable Head
aches come from a torpid liver and
clogged bowels, which cause your
stomach to become filled with undi-
gested food, which sours and fer
ments like garbage in swill barrel.
That's the first step to untold misery
Indigestion, foul gases, bad breath,
yellow skin, mental fears, everything
that is horrible and nauseating. A
Cascaret tonight will give your con-
stipated bowels a thorough cleansing
and straighten you out by morning.
They work while you sleep-a 1O-cent
box from your druggist will keep you
feeling good for months. Millions of
men and women take Il Cascaret now
and then to keep their stomach, liver
and bowels regulated, and never know
a miserable moment Don't forget the
children-their little insides need q
good, gentle cleansing, too.

Two sergeant majors chosen from

Germans to change their position to
the very spot where these two ser

you are opening a credit with him in

common to all retailing transactions
But in the larger dealings, the credit
is in the form of promissory note,
