OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

READING
OSTRICHES

Whoever invented ostriches realized
what fool animals they were and fitted
them up with stomachs to cope with
the situation. The ostrich can digest
whatever he can swallow. Beans or
buckshot, it is all the same to them.
Hardware store spells restaurant to
him. And his idea of rich fcod is 4
twenty dollar gold piece.
IF you are troubled by an extra of
superfuous ostrich at any time, steer
him up against a meal of rat-tal files
and egg-beaters. Throw in package
of unsheathed safety pins, bundle of
cog wheels and box Of ice picks and
you we got him. He may survive, but
he won't laugh.

PAPER AND PEOPLE


! Commonwealth and the people of this
| community? Is the paper doing its full
| duty, and is it the organ that the peo-
pie can faithfully adhere to7 These
are serious questions, far more so than
they seem and may have far reaching
effect.
Commonwealth is question that racks
in our mind frequently, and are they
approaching the effort that is being
made to serve them with the latest and
best, equal to, and, perhaps a little bet
ter, than other papers Of it's class in
the state7 Upon this hinges the real
value of this organ.
Do the people Of the community look
upon this paper as being partly on
energy and work, partly on luck, and
partly on the charity Of the community.
IF the. people so regard it then it has
missed it's goal, but if it is regarded as
filing place that no other agency can
FILL in the community life, and if the
people regard it as their own mouth
piece between peoples, then it has
reached the position of dignity, that
any paper Of a community should hold
and has: an inestimiable value to the
people.
One of the greatest curses to country
Journalism is the thelp the poor edi-
tori stuff you see pulled off so often.
The editor is not poor. He is rich He
may not have dollar in his pocket
and the north gable of his trousers
may be Of a different timber from the
balance, but he has an opportunity
and power in the community that no
other man possesses of public
service that counts to the maximum. If
he fails in this he has missed his calling
and should probably be hack-driver
instead Of pencil pusher
And in the advertising end Of a news
paper, does that also fit in the required
niche, or is the advertising given to
the paper because the merchants wish
to support home industries, or as fav-
or, rather than for the good the adver-
Using is supposed to do their business?
If this be the condition then the paper
enters at once the charity list and
thereafter that merchant will feel that
every dollar he spends in advertising
is a kind Of donation. This position
is wrong or the paper has lost it's use
fulness. If advertising does not pro-
duce the required results the merchants
and newspapers should get together and
see wherein the results are lacking, for
every medium of repute has it's value
and that value is the medium between
purchaser and merchant, which the lat
ter must have else he best might lock
his doors and throw away the key, for
advertising, judicious advertising, is
the life Of trade.

BOARD. OF TRADE MEETING

The matter of e1ecting officers for the
ensuing year at the annual meeting Of
the local Board Of Trade should receive
very careful attention by all members,
and. none should lose the opportunity Of

is certain that none Of us can see ahead
enough to know what another year may

ant than having the right man in the
right place, at the head of this civic
organization.

Shrewd, business men know this, and
hunt for just such towns. -. s-s:--
IF we would grow as a town we must
show that we WANT growth. And we
must offer Inducements.
For instance
We want to land manufacturing
plant. We go after it. The mana
gers stipulate for a.. convenient :, site
donated. : We donate it. We secure the
plant. En-. -.
Now, did the donation of the site. Sc
cure the plants 1T DID NOT. That
was the smallest consideration. The
SPIRIT that PROMPTED the donation
was the. magnet that did the pulling.
The managers Of the enterprise wanted
to locate in community where that
spirit ruled. They could afford to pay
for site, but there was no way of de-
termining whether the community real
lyWANTED their enterprise located in
its midst. -
And thus it goes on and on.
It is not the bonus or. site, or even
the exemption from taxes that is the
real drawing power in locating new
enterprises that are to aid in building
up and developing our community.
It is the SPIRIT BEHIND these ac-
tions. It is the BROAD and JUST
view taken by the CITIZENS Of the
community-a view that RECOGNIZES
the VALUE of the enterprise sought,
that comedies it's usefulness as a factor
in the community.
We are all human. We like to be
appreciated at what we feel and know
to be our real worth. Even the hardest
headed business man among US. is sus
ceptible to a just appreciation Of his
worth to the community.
So when we. slow to industry that we
WANT it; when we say to it, by our
words and ctions, that we Appreciate
it and value it at it's True Worth, then
it is that industry conceives a desire
to be among us and Of us.
Our town will be as big as our genu-
inc ambition it will be as progressive
as. we are. And the spirit of the popu-
lation we attract will be Of the same
KIND as our own spirit.
