THE OLD HOME LIFE

No boy, no girl, can ever come to
be utterly bad who remembers only
love and tenderness and sweetness
as associated with father and moth
er in the old time home. Give them
manly and womanly example, give
them training, give them the inspira-
ton of devoted lives, give them
these higher, deeper things. Do not
care so much as to whether you are
accommodating money, so that you
can leave them a fortune. We really
believe the chances are against
that being a blessing for a boy.
But leave them an accumulated for
tune of memories and inspirations
and examples and hopes, so that
they are rich in brain and heart and
soul.

SENATOR BECKHAM
ON THE SALOON

eff, therefore, Mr.. President, the
saloon is bad, what good can there
be in the distillery or the brewery
whose business it is to manufacture
supplies for the saloon? If the one
is abolished, why should the other
remain? 1t has been estimated that
the amount wasted in this country
each year for alcoholic drinks
amounts to nearly two and one-half
billions of dollars. Think of what
an enormous and inexcusable waste
of our national wealth, to say moth
ing of the infinite harm that its use
inhicts upon the people. No good
whatever comes from that stagger-
ing expenditure, and it is all abso-
lutte waste. What a tremendous
saving of our national wealth can
be accomplished by stopping it alto
gether. Let the people of this cOun-
try have the opportunity in the con-
stitutional way to express then
wishes in regard to it., Let this Con-
gress at least respond to this unmis-
taxable demand and give the people
a chance through their States to rat
fly this amendment.
"This is not simply wartime
movement. The arguments in favor
of prohibition have been Occentuat-
ed, not created, by the existence of
the present worldwide war. 1t is a
bad policy to waste wealth in time
of peace; it is a worse policy, and
may be a fatal policy, to waste it in
time of war"

MISS BAEHR RESIGNS

Miss Bertha Baehr, of Cincinnati,
who was a teacher in the City High
School last year, and who had been
reelected and accepted the place,
has notified the Board that she ten
ders her resignation and it has been
accepted. Her successor has not
been selected. Miss Baehr was
popular teacher and has many
friends here who will regret to hear
that she will not be connected with
the school the coming term.

THE OLD HOME

Well worth the recollection Of an
occasional hour.
Boys, do you ever sit down and
talk for an hour over the scenes,
and adversities and the successes of
childhood7 Do you ever take time
TO look hack over the hill of life and
call up the days of we olden times
when you were at home under the
protecting care of fond father and
devoted mother2 Do the early
days spent possibly in a pioneer
home, ever occur to you as the hap
piest home of your eventful life7
These questions are for the "Old
Boys" those who have passed the
meridian of life and now are on the
down slope, and who from natural
causes, will soon pass into the un-
known beyond, where they are to en-
joy the rewards that come of well
directed life.
Boys; think of the old home
where we're father, mother and the
charming brothers and sisters whose
whole aim was to keep home happy
and make life pleasure rather than
burden. You remember fathers
corner behind the big fireplace, do
you not? See him as he sits and
mods in the twilight of the dim fire
and dreams of the day when his
boys will be Senators and will not
have to stand the bitter trials OF
the dark forests or the treeless
prairies.
Father and mother, brothers and
sisters! The old home! What
depths of meaning lie in those words
There is comfort in them. They re-
call the innocent prattle of younger
brothers and sisters. They recall
the kindly directed efforts of the
seniors to secure the joy and peace
that comes from the fraternity Of
home with its bonds of affection.
The dim old forest and the wide
expanding prairie are there, too
The low numbering rill with its
beautiful song is there. We were
all there when we were young, but
now we are old and all we can dc
is recall, recall, recall.
Do this, boys, and see if you dc
not appreciate more fully all that
you are and have. 1t is but just
that you should affectionately look
upon the past.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-08-28
"THE OLD MnMAM"

A nice phrase to be used about
the dear old soul who kept her vigil
over you in your infancy, kissed
away your tears in childhood and
remained your trusted friend in ma
turity. Is this all the love you have
for the silver haired mother who
bathed your searching brow ell
through the long sleepless nights of
affection, when your brain was wild
with burning feverq Is there no
other term you can find for her
who has followed you through every
trial, tribulation and misfortune of
your life? Has mother, through all
these years of labor, watching and
waiting, been wasting her love on a
worthless bunch of clay, who, in the
rosy dawn of manhood has no other
term more fitting than "the old wo-
man" by which to address or speak
of his mother.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chiiis, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. Castor,
OF this place, writes: II am q user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; IN fact,
1t was one Of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when l
was a child. When any Of US child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
q dose of Blacl1-Draught, which would
Nrectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, wo
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted we'll, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t.
for It certainly has saved US lots Of
doctor bills. Just dose of Black
Draught when not SO well saves q
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use for many years in the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles. and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof of its merit.
II your liver Is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, ETC.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedfords Black raught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t is purely vegetable, and
acts In a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed-
ford's. the original and genuine. q 20

Sunshine in the lives and souls of
people is just as potent in the realm
of home as the sunshine that drives
darkness from cur world and brings
that warmth which is essential to
life and growth in the vegetable
kingdom. There is a convincing and
vivifying power in soul sunshine
for, as has been well said, men and
women, youth and children, seek the
friendship of the sunny-f faced.
