"Just Livin' Along"

Frank T.. Stanton Of the Atlanta
Constitution is one of the best known
newspaper men in America. Likewise
he is one of Americas sweetest poets.
One of his dainty lyrics is entitled
"Just Livin' Along" 1t is song OF
optimism. 1t embodies a philosophy
which might be adopted with profit by
all men and women.
Let us be thankful that we're just
Twin along.
Life, joyous, jubilant, vital and
thrilling. is all about u.s. Birds, beasts,
plants and flowers live and love and
pass to the great change.
Indeed, is there anything other or
greater than life in it's myriad mani
festations? 1t doesn't much matter
how we designate the forms and as
poets of being. Let us be thankful that
we're just Twin along. We shall con-
tinue to live. All our worries and
frettings will not affect that fact.
though they may hurry us to other con-
ditiOns, hurry us more swiftly to a
new plane Of existence.
But let us join in the song of the Op-
timist and be happy forever that we
are just Twin along.-Dayton Herald.

vices were held at the S. d. B. church

A load of cord wood driven by w. S..
Agnew slued on the ice on Clear Lake
Friday morning and the wood slipped
off onto the driver. The team were
frightened at such strange actions and
ran off with the front bob. They failed
to properly make the turn at the
Schultz corner, ran into maple tree
and piled themselves up in a heap.
Strange as it may seem, Mr.. Agnew
and his team escaped without injury.

Heavy Money.
NV oSU1H1
favOrite.

How to keep your money safe from
thieves is a problem that was solved
by the inhab itants Of Jap, in the Caro-
line islands. when they devised a cur
rency too heavy for burglars to carry
away. The money used by the natives
is in the form of huge wheels of stone,
weighing as much as 500 pounds and
roughly shaped in the form of a grind
stone A large hole in the center is a
feature of the Jap money. Even the
clam shell pennies are perforated. The
stones are used for large purchases
only. If an islander becomes wealthy
enough to purchase pig he must part
with a 500 pound circular stone, but if
he is required to deliver it for any dis
lance the pork is we'll earned.-Ameri-

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young = to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in.
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com.
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance Of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.
