EVERYONE KNOWS HOW!

Men who make newspapers
some times believe that their
profession is an eXacting one
They are wrong. 1t is the
simplest calling; making a news.
paper is an easy trick. Any
body can do it.
A lawyer with only a diploma
and a brass sign who would lose
a suit even if the other side was
ready to confess judgment, will
tell you how to run newspaper.
A physician vino would send his
patient to the morgue before the
prescription has been filled, will
knew all about the fine points of
making a newspaper. An actor
who never earned another plaudit
than a soft tomato will give in
struction in handling the worlds
news. An old lady who knows
enough to get off a street car
backwards mas positive opinions
on it. Even a society person
who never paid anything but
calls or made anything but visits,
or did anything but a tailor,
knows how stupid these men are
who write stories, edit copy"
Wrestle with heads" that won't
fit and get the paper out on time.
One reason for the universal
perfection in this trade among
those who do not work at all is
that everybody has been en-
ployed on it. 1t is a most un-
usual thing to meet man VINO,
when the occasion seems ripe,
will not say II used to be a
newspaper man myself. " Every
time a man works his country
editor for puff on the strength
of a big pumpkin he graduates
into journalism, When he writes
a piece" for the Squash County
Clarion about a most enjoyable
entertainment he complets his
post graduate course in news
paper work; when he writes a
communication on both sides of
the paper to the editor he becomes
a thirty-third degree member Of
the tribe Of Scribe. That so
many men have abandoned litera-
ture for law, medicine, and
other easy walks Of life simply
shows that many men would
rather fail In one thing than
another. Brunswick News.

a Specific Against Colds

The nearest thing to a specific
against colds is a sleeping porch
or open bed room and a cold
sponge bath every morning when
you first get up. Even then you
will occasionally take a cold, es-
pecially when colds are epidemic
and when you do you will find
Cnamberlain's Cough Remedy a
great help in enabling you to get
rid of it. Try it. Obtainable
everywhere.

reached his attractive home on
Scott street, when he was met
by the Tanlac Man.

said Capt. Miller as he shook the
hand of the TanIac representa-
tive and invited him into his
spacious parlor. For several
weeks Mrs. Miller and myself
