THE THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION
OF THE NEW YORK W0RI

Practically Daily at the Price OF
a Weekly. No other Newspaper in
the world gives so much at so low a
price.
There has never been a time
when a newspaper was more need
ed in the household. The great war
in Europe has now entered its
I'd year, with no promise of an end
for a long time. These are world
shaking events, in which the United
States, willing or unwilling. has
been compelled to take a part. No
intelligent person can ignore such
issues.
The Presidential contest also will
soon be at hand. Already candi-
dates for the nomination are in the
field, and the campaign, owing to
the extraordinary character of the
times, will be of supreme interest.
No other newspaper will inform
you with the promptness and
cheapness of the Thrice a. Week
edition of the New York World.
THE THRICE = A = WEEK
WORLDS regular subscription
price is only $l.00 per year, and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer
this unequalIed newspaper and
Highland Recorder together for one
wear for $1.75.

From Hot Sp iDgs

Though Hot Springs is very

to carry the presidential party di-
rectly to their suite Immediately
on their arrival.
The happy bridal couple, unlike
ordinary mortals, are accompanied
by about nine detectives or secret
service men, besides their own at
lte.1ualts, walters, secretaries etc
who thus serve to keep them strict
ly separated from the curious
crowd who would otherwise be t;
menace to the privacy the newly
married couple desire to maintain.
1t is reported that they will re-
main here until about Jan. 5.
The president has his private
wire right in his rooms so that h
is in direct communication with the
government at washington and il
touch with all business which it is
necessary for him to take care of
Individually, and so can take a.
good care of the nations welfare as
though he were in the Capitol City.
The President gave reception il
the hotel lounge room on New
Years eve at which a large crowd
of people were gathered.
we feel highly honored to be thus
Favored with the privilege of having
President wilson and wife spend
their honeymoon in our county.
we wish them every blessing that
mortal man and woman can enjoy.

NOTE: Folks in town and adjoining
counties are delighted with the results
they have obtained by using" ANURIC,"
the newest discovery of DR.. Pierce, who
Is head of the INvALIDs' HOTEL and
SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buffalo, N. Y.
Those who started the day with back
ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and
an aching head (worn out before the
day began because they were in and out
of bed half dozen times at night) are
aprreciating the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
Dr.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove
that this is a certain uric acid solvent
and conquers headache, kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism, if
you've never used the HAnuric," cut
this out and send ten cents to Doctor
Pierce for large sample package. This
will prove to you that vAnuric" is
thirty seven times more active than
lithia in eliminating uric acid-and the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector. If you are sufferer, 60 to your
best druggist and ask for 50-cent box
of vAnuric." You run no risk for DR..
Pierce's good name stands behind this
wonderful new discovery as it has for
the past half century for his "Golden
Medical Discovery" a general tonic
made from roots with pure glycerlne
which makes the blood pure, his VIA
vorite Prescription" for weak women
and uPleasant Pellets" for liver ills.

SEEING AMERICA TRIP
Henry Newton says the Best Way Is to
Bum 1t.

The best way to see the country is
to bum. That at least IS the advice
of Henry Newton who has hoboed his
way across the continent several times,
deriving besides the pure pleasure his
journeys afforded him the remunera-
ton received from a series of stories
written for New York newspaper.
Probably in the last two years I
have Travelled more, seen more, eaten
more, and worked less than any other
person in the country" says Newton
LAS soon as I left school I started to
work as reporter for New York
newspaper. My health gave out and
was then stung by the bug of hobo
ism 1t first I started TO walk but
after I had associated with a few OF
the experienced hobOes soon found
that the best way 10 travel was by the
trains. either by freight, rods, bumpers
or blinds. In this way a person can
travel a great deal quicker BY the
latter way I made my first trip across
the continent.
After I had made my first trip to
the Pacific coast and back, I decided
that I would like to see Europe dur
ing war time. I did this. sailing from
New York on the steamship New
York Six days later started to see
the country of my long desire. But
l was fooled in the attempt. for as I
was leaving the ship a tall man in
uniform grabbed me and took me up
to one of the Liverpool jails. Here I
stayed five long days and nights try
ing to get out. Finally through the
efforts of the American consul I was
let out 1 had seen enough of Eng
land in war time and started home.
when I arrived in New York I
conceived the idea of seeing America
first, and I am at present taking the
trip for the fifth time-four times
Hobo de Luxe and once in Pullman.
But to see the country right give me
the former way"

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkaH, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseleSS- It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all TO pieces
You can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months.
Simply mOisten the hair with water
rub it in, about a teaspoonfuI is all
that is required. It makes an album
dance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides. il

DIAMOND TURNS UP
Valuable Stone Had Been Missing
Since Last December.

Belated Christmas cheer Wednesday
evening made its appearance at the
home of Mrs Norbert G. Moser of 317
East Eighth avenue.
The day before Christmas. Mrs
Moser lost a diamond ring valued at
$3.50. A thorough search of the house
by Mrs Moser and Miss Jennie Couch
who rooms at the Moser home, failed
to locate the stone. So the two women
decided that Mrs. Moser must have
dropped the diamond in the furnace
which she had been tending during
the illness of her husband
Since Christmas the location of the
stone of the stone was unknown to
either of the two women But during
all that time. Miss Couch nursed the
hope that some day II might be found
Wednesday evening, while looking
over her folding ped. she noticed an
object that looked considera oily ike a
diamond A moment later the hope
that she had entertained for three
months was realized
Mrs Moser had lost the stone while
making up the bed and it had re-
manned wedged in a corner since the
day before Christmas
