AIM TO LIVE,
 100 YEARS OLD
Keep the Bowels Clean and Liver Active Without Calomel-
 Take Van Lax.

Barring accidents, there is no req son why we should not live to hun dred, by keeping the bowels clean and open and liver active. Calomel won't do this. It sickens. Van Lax is a sci entific substitute that won't sicken you, but acts gently and pleasantly on the bowels. Van Lax prevents sick ness, elimantes intestinal poisons, re- lieves constipation, corrects disorders of digestive organs, increases poor circulation, restores strength. Hun dreds of letters from users prove it's wonderful help to victims of rheuma- tism, insomnia, sick and nervous head aches, stomach disorders. Van Lax is natures master tonic. Any druggist can supply you with a big bottle for soc, or send to Van Vleet Drug Co.,, Memphis, Tenn. Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes and the disappearance of pimples and facial blemishes will convince you of the merits of this new health discovery. Try Van Lax to- day. Don't Wait.-Adv.

 The State Democratic central com mittee having fixed April IA as a date to hold primary election to select candidates for the constitutional con- vention, offer as candidate before said primary for Jefferson county.
 I believe my experience in the af- fairs of life has fitted me to some ex- tent for this most important position. If the voters of this county think so, and am selected as one of the mem- bers, I shall consider it very hign honor and will give to them in return the best service there is in me.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLT AND TIE
 FRENCH.

The Russian revolution cannot ba ! compared with that of France in the eighteenth century. There are some things in common in all revolutions, of course; but on broad general principle, the Russian and the French revolutions differ materially
 The French revolt was the crystal. lfzation of expression for new idea.s In government for humanity, or sucn portions of humanity that were able
 like the founders of the American republic-to take advantage of them H was revolt against malignant despotism, against the autocracies If . past day in their rudest form.
 The Russian revolt was brought on primarily because of the discon- tcnt of the masses induced by hunger. Up to the time of the revolt, the masses of the Russian people were loyal to their little father" the czar, who, it must be admitted, did not use his tremendous powers in a way inimical to the state. There was dis content always among cliques, of course: among special classes who were opposed to autocratic govern ment because they were more intelli- gent than the masses of the people
 The basis of intelligence is also at the bottom of differentiation that is an interesting comparison between the two revolts. The French people were from early times compact. The only difference in temperament found among them was that of the Parisian and that of the dweller in the countr; districts and the smaller cities. And this was not serious difference. Tn the case of Russia, however, compris- Ing One-seventh of the globe, and populated by people who in the north and other parts still live in primitive tribal conditions, through gradations of living that are astounding to for eigners, it is seen that the reverse of conditions obtaining ii France are the rule. E
 France easily took to tAe idea of q republic; and again later just as easily took to the idea of hero-wor- shipping and placed Napoleon on the 4 pedestal he craved. Tae mass of the Russian people, however, are less easily moved; and it IS doubtful if even now goodly percentage of the nation has any thorough conception 7 Qf what is going on, though this is de- cidedly not saying that they will moi gladly accept republican form oi < government. The chances are, once they see its benefits, they will stick to it.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Tor ...- Delegate, to Constitutional dCOnyentiOn.

To Those Citizens Who Have Petl-
 toned Me to Become a Candidate
 for Delegate to the Constitutional
 Convention.
 Gentlemen: According to my views, the participation in the framing of the organic law of our state to be sub mitted to the people for ratification, is a service so serious and responsi ble as to render campaign or con- test for membership in the cOnven- tion unbecoming, and I am sure you agree that our delegates should be selected through the thoughtful, quiet and deliberate action of the people.
 I was not a seeker for the place and in the absence of your petition l should not, of my own motion, have aspired to become member of tn. convention; yet, at the same time, believe it to be an honor which any citizen might well afford to covet. notwithstanding the personal sacrl' flee involved. -.
 In obedience to your request and assuring you of my desire to render any service to my state and county of which my fellow citizens may think mo capable, I shall have my name placed on the ballot in the primary ordered by the Democratic party, to which I claim allegiance; and if l shoGldbe selected as enc of the nomi- nees from Jefferson county 1 shall comply with the requirements of the law prescribed for candidates i'll the general election.
 The confidence you manifest in me by your petition calls from my heart the deepest sentiments of gratitude and appreciation.
 Yours respectfully,
 DANIEL, TAYLOR

CIVIL SERVICE FOR ALL
 POSTMASTERS.

A certain amount of "pie" in poli- tics seems to be expected even by the best of politicians; hence the execu- tive order that seeks to place all presidential postmasters under civil service by April has ielicited some strenuous opposition by congressmen of all parties.
 AS one of them is quoted, "When the people of town vote Democratic, they naturally expect a Democratic postmaster. and when they vote Re publican, they expect a Republican postmaster"
 This most assuredly seems to be the popular notion. Right or wrong, it's the temper of mankind in the U. s. A.
 On the other hand, this popular conception" of politics is diametrical- ly opposed to the spirit of the civil service laws. If it is necessary for clerk seeking government employ ment to pass government eXamina- 'tion in order to insure efficiency, 1t

Batteries Are like Tires.

Batteries and tires. says Mr.
Garden. the willard expert, ARE
very much alike as far as care goes
| and ii the motorist would learn &
think Of them both in the same way
ne would save himself all kinds Of
trouble and disa ppeintments.
There Is not a motorfst in tbs
eounfrS who does not regard tire re
new ais as q perfectly legitimate ok
pense and buys new tires as cheer
fully as he buys gasoline. The stor.
age battery is just as iegitirnate ar
expense. 1t is not designed 10 last
as long as the mechanical parts OF
the ear. nor should any man expect
il.
Being an electro-chemieal device
and not mechanical one it is bound
10 wear down sooner or later.
Just as tires should be KEEP;
fully inflated up to proper pres
sure so storage battery should be
Kept fully charged A half charged
storage battery is not going TIC give
any better service nor have any
longer life than half inflated tire.
"As far ais actual operation is con-
cerned. the motorist has no intima-
ton In either case that he Is not
doing the right thing, but suddenly
without warning the tire blows out
or the battery goes dead.
'Just as hard rough riding over
poor roads causes stone bruises and
cuts In tires. SO it may cause brok-
en- jar in a battery. This, of course,
means that If broken Jars are TO be
avoided, the battery must be firmly
clamped down and the machine driy-
en- with some amount OF care. A
broken jar is practically equivalent
to blowout or puncture in the tire.
No motorist would attempt to run
HIS machine on a biown-ont tire nor
shuld he try to use HIS battery with
one cell broken.
"A tire begins TO wear out imme-
a;atelv after II is made. for whether
il is In actual use or not the rubber
becomes brittle and loses It's life.
Tire manufacturers. as a matter OF
fact. consider tires that have been
IN stock for acme time. as seconds.
"A battery also begins 10 wear out
as soon as it is made whether it is in
use or not. Deterioration in an un-
usea battery however. IL very slight,
m seeona-hand battery il no more
galnble than secoaa-hand tire. Nc
