New Cash Register

The Snodgrass Food Co. has just
installed a full life-sized cash regis
ter, one which can tell what you
bought, what you got coming, if you
have any more money in your pocket,
your height, weight, sex, parentage,
and whether you married a grass wild
ow or just a plain one. It cost $11O0
and is worth the money just as an orn-
ament, let alone the work it can do.
Their big business makes this great
labor saver a necessity.

Narrow Escape

Last Friday afternoon several local
officers of the Red Cross, Mayor
Strain, r. L. Christy, W. b. Gordon
and Dr. Likes, visited the local
branches of the organization at other
points in the county, and returned just
after dark. AS they were crossing the
railroad at the Third street crossing
r. L. Christy driving the front car
suddenly discovered a Santa Fe en-
gine almost on to them, and as it was
impossible to reverse in time speeded
up TO get across. The engine struck
the back part of the car breaking it
to splinters and throwing Mr.. Christy
out, but he escaped with scarcely a
scratch. w. b. Gordon, the other oc-
cupant Of the car, jumped and was
badly jolted up besides receiving a
few cut and burises and losing his
glasses. He also escaped very for
tunately under the circumstances. This
is the third accident Of this kind in a
year and both for the protection of
the public and as a matter Of economy
for the railroad itself, there should
be n change Of policy with regard to
these crossings. The yards here are
so full of cars at all times that it is
almost impossible to see whether
trains are approaching or not until
you are right on the track, and at
the rate the Santa Fe has been pay
ing for cars destroyed the past year
they could well afford to make safe
crossings at several streets so as to
furnish enough and convenient cross
ings for all sections of the city.

GLITTERING CARS
ny WALT MASON.

Some poet wrote, IN days OF old, "All
things that glitter are ont gold" The
poets head was large and long, his In
tellect was working strong. There were
no lies upon that bard, who sprung the
truth, and sprung Il hard.
All things that glitter are not gold;
we wouldn't be 80 often told, II haply
we'd remember that, and post the maxim
in our hat. The Junk that takers want
to sell VIII often look surprising well,
but when It's used it comes 10 pass
that shining gold IS only brass.
1 bought two diamonds long ago
they cost me eighty bones a throw. l
held them proudly in my hand. and
there they shone TO beat the band.
bought them from a stranger slick who
found In me trusting hick. / swal-
lowed all his helpful bunk. and hand
cd him my bottom PUNK. And In a
month the stones were dead: no gor-
geous radiance they shed. The man who
bilked me was a peach; those gems
were worth Just eight cents each.
The poet said. "Oh boys, behold AL
things that glitter are not gold"
The man who goes 10 buy a car,
down where the blithesome agents are,
should keep The maxim in his mind; II
isn't safe to 60 it blind Some shining
paint and nickel plate will mako tin
horn boat look great. The buyer, take
It as a rule, Is quite an easy man to
fool He knows no more about a boat
than Uncle Ezras billy goat. He doesn't
know or want 10 know what makes
the doggone inside go; but he would
like a foolproof car in which a man
may journey far without It coming oil
apart and rupturing the owners heart.
He ought TO buy a car that's made
by men Of standing in the trade. Have
they been IN the business long and
are their fame and credit strong?
He should remember that the Haynes
was FIRST TO hit our native plains, and
all the time It's kept abreast Of every
thing that's first and best That is the
safest guarantee for easy marks like
you and me.
The poet said, "Our feet grow cold,
for all that glitters is not gold"

THERE has never been, and there
likely never will be, a complaint
against the motorist using his car
freely for business and health The crit
oism Is against waste.
Before the war, in this country of plenty,
waste was rather an unconscious habit
But the needs Of war are correcting it
ard the lessons we are now learning will
undoubtedly govern buying for personal
requirements, as well as cIrtal the extrav-
agance on necessities, for years to come
During these days when every man,
woman and child is cooperating with the call
for National Thrift, it is hard-mt8bH
bard-6or a motorist to justify the extray-
aganoc of the car that gives but 10 or Il
miles to the gallon of gasoline and 5000
to 5000 miles to the set of tires
The motorist who used to be Indifferent
about excessive gasoline and tire bills is
now looking for the way to maintain his
mileage at about half bis present cost But it
means less taking of claims for granted, and
more investigation of facts that stand ready
to be demonstrated any time. s4e

'VON TIRPTTZ' VIEW
 OF FUTURE GLOOMY

Amsterdam. Dec. 2S.-A gloomy pie ture of Germany's future was painted by Grand Admiral Von Tirpitz in his recent speech in Essen. according to the Hamburg News. Regarding a successful economic war against Ger many after the war he said:
 Imagine the position if we girnul- taneously have to bear the burden of taxation which must fall on every German and. despite the fallen value of German money. we still have to buy the most necessary food and raw materials from abroad. Can anyone in his heart of hearts really believe that in these cidcumstances. without an increase Of power without indem- nity and without security we could avoid Germany's rlin?"
 Gernaany's plight at the hands of England he bemoaned as follows:
 Not only has England. taken our colonies and AEesopotamia, but every where she has made deeper and frmer bases for her maritime and colonial supremacy. She has tarnished and trodden down the prestige and honor of Germany by unprecedented .calun- n1es. In the whole transatlantic world we are considered as conquered and done foro

Today's Anniversary.

The first patent for 8 revolving firearm" issued by the United States government was to Samuel Colt, a Connecticut youth of 21, and bore date of Dec. 2s, 1885, just s2 years ago todays Colt was a native of Hartford, and, after working for a time in q factory, ran away to sea. During a voyage to Calcutta he de- veloped the idea of the revolver. He made model of wood, while he was a 15-year-old sailor boy. When he returned to America he obtained money to continue his experiments. He then improved upon his original idea and patented his invention in England, France and the United States. A company was formed to manufacture his weapon, the plant being established in Paterson, N. J. Colt revolvers were first used in war fare during the Indian conflict in Florida in 1897, a few of the troops having been provided with the weapons. The Mexican war Jed to g great demand for revolvers, and brought them into general use.

RED FLOODED MEN WIN OUT
They Are Always on Top

It is a fact that red blooded men and women are at the top in every walk of life. Men and women with the driving force of red bloof, rich in Iron and Phosphate do things, they get results.
 Red blooded women are the heads of the happiest and most centehted homes, they have the will and the desire to be real companions and helpmates.
 Leadership and happiness is only for the man and women who are willing to keep their blood and nerves strengthened and nourished with Iron and Phosphates.
 A prominent doctor says, 'It is a crime that so many men and women lack the rich, red blood and strong steady nerve to achieve their ambi. tions. It is all the more so because thin, watery blood is unnecessary, as rich, red blood and strong nerves are within the grasp of everyone. Phosphated Iron makes pure blood by making new blood. It gives strength, brings color to the cheeks, increases the weight and appetite, drives away the. blues and those sleepless nights, steadies and renews your nervous energy, makes you feel like a live one once again."
 There must be something to it. Everyone who tries it is loud in praise of Phosphated Iron, and you have got to show people these, days.
 To insure physicians and their pa- tients receiving. the genuine Phos- phated Iron it has been put up in capsules only. Do not allow dealers to give you pills or tablets. Insist on capsules. Hindle's Drug Stores and leading druggists eyerywhere.-Adv.
