BY DOCTORS

In conversation with a representa-
tive Of your Company today, I could
not help expressing my feeling Of
gratitude at the good your medicine
had done for me. For three long
years [ suffered untold agony with
what they said was severe case Of
Rheumatism. After the best Doctors
had exhausted their knowledge in re-
gard to my cose, I consulted an Oste-
opath and after an examination he
said the hip joint had become irrita-
ted and it would take long time to
cure it, if it could be cured at all. I
felt 80 discouraged over my condition,
for [ had spent hundreds Of dollars
in the vain pursuit Of ease, for my
suffering was terrible. Hearing of
the good effects that Mrs. Joe Person
Remedy had on others, I decided to
try it. [ bought dozen bottles, think
ing that if took it at all, I would go
at it right. And wonderfully, yes it
is wonderful, the cure it made of me-
as my friends can testify. [ began
to improve on the first bottle and bv
the time [ had finished the course I
was well, strong man and have had
no symptoms Of the disease since.
| would feel that I had neglected nv
duty to my fellowman if I did not tell
them of my wonderful cure and I adj
wise any sufferer to give Mrs. Joe Per
son s Remedy a trial.

CARS MUST BE TAGGED AND
LIGHTED


The Chief Of Police desires to
call attention Of the public to the
state law that requires every au-
tomobile, whether being run or
stationary, to have lights burning
on front and rear, and also to
EaTa tic sttccte license attached to
the rear Of each car.
A few days will be allowed for
the people to become familiar
with this law, after which it will
be enforced strictly.

CHOLERA MORBUS

This is very painful and dangerous
disease. In almost every neighborhood
someone has died from it before medi-
cine could be obtained or a physician
summoned. The right way is to have
bottle Of Chamberlain s Collie and Di-
arrhoea Remedy in the house so as to
be prepared for it. Mrs. Charles Env
cart, Huntington, Ind, writes: "Dur-
ing the summer Of 1911 two of my chill
dren were taken sick with cholera NOR
bus. [ used Chamberlain 3 Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy and it gave them
immediate relief.''

world war.
g In the concise language Of the
Frenchman, "there is no more for
Russia at least so far as count
ing for vital aggressive force liz
the conflict.
If we in this country have not
yet fully conceived what this fact
portends, it is well that we con
slider the situation very seriously
1t means that whereas the central
powers have heretofore maintain
ed an enormous army Of seasoned
fighters on the eastern front, they
are now withdrawing these veter-
an troops and hurting them in
masses upon the French and Brit
ish lines.
1t means that under present
. conditions it is a physical impossi-
bllity for the entente armies to
gain even a nominal victory.
1t means that the best we can
expect until our own armies are
in the field is a stand-off.
And it means that, unless this
country musters it's entire strng-
tn in men and means, and USES
that strength to the limit, the
cause Of human freedom will lose
the fight and America will 90
down in the ruins. For with En-
gland and France defeated, or ev-
Ell nominally victors, and still
powerful Prussian autocracy
spreads over the earth, the future
OF democracy will be dark indeed.
1t every man and woman in
America will get firmly in mind
the fact that we must win this
war if it is to be won; that if it
is lost our ideals and institutions
are IN grave danger, then and not
until then will we be in an atti-
tude to face the task that is ours.
The true American can find no
use for the man who "having put
his hand to the pillow, turneth
not backward. -

to do SO. You love peace and Sc
curity Of your home; Of course
you do, and for this very areason
you should cooperate to the full
lest extent with your government
in it's effort to restore peace to the
world. The way for you to do is to
buy these bonds, just as large a
mount as you can, and help pro-
vide the means for making the
world a safe place for democra
cy and for you to live and do bu-
siness in. You feel very safe now;
physical danger seems very far
off. It was so with the people OF
England and France until about
three years ago. Now they live
in the shadow Of death which may
come swiftly through the dark
ness of the night. Within the
next three years you may be llv-
ing in the same awful suspense,
unless you dedicate now share
Of your means to the task IN hand.
Unless you act promptly now, the
balance Of your life may be spent
under German domination or in
military service and the payment
Of taxes in an effort to avert such
domination.
It is time for you to realize that
your own personal liberty is at
stake, and that you are at war
with powerful, resourceful and
brutal foes, who would murder
you and your wife and children
without the slightest hesitation if
you stood in the way Of their ca
reer of conquest. Don t laugh at
this, as people in England, France
and Belgium would have laughed
three years ago. Read Of the Ger
man barbarities in Belgium and
France. They are as well estab-
llshed as anything can be by hui
man testimony. For more than
two years before we entered the
war this paper has tried to awak-
en- it's readers to the true charact-
er of the war and the German
spirit Of aggression. You are in
the midst Of a deluge Of deviltry
which must be checked. For you
cling to and hoard your money at
this time is the most short sighted
policy.
The Government is going to
get enough money to carry this
war to a successful conclusion and
it is going to get it by bonds or
taxation. 1t is to your interest
to buy the bonds and not wait un-
til it is taken by taxation. What
you pay in taxes is gone, but what
you pay for bonds will come back
with interest. (Raleigh State

Editor Copper Camp-Dear Sir:

Editor Copper Camp-Dear Sir:
l am, you might say, an orphan girl
making my own way. I have had
very little schooling and earn prac-
tically nothing but room and board.
There seems nothing better for me in
the small town. 1 have read several
letters you published, in which the
writer's asked for advice Well, you or
any of your readers give me this ad-
! vice. Should I go to the city?
Gin need of advice).
Editorial note-When a girl writes
me of her dreams of life in a city, I
am reminded of the old adage, Little
boats should keep near the shore In
other words, within reach of scenes
with which they are familiar and in
touch with old acquaintances.
All this until they know that they
are fitted to sail in broader, deeper
waters and reasonably sure of some
thing tangible when they cast anchor
in new and to them, undiscovered
sphere of activity. The laborer is wor-
thy of his or her hire and in a mining
camp, willing worker is worth more
to herself or her employees than board
and clothing.
AS first step towards independence,
seek employment in a nearby town
Read good books, attend church SER
vice, keep your mind alert for other
things that you want to know You
will naturally out-grow your first field
of endeavor. Fully equipped for a
place of greater responsibility, you may
begin to reach out for something of
wider scope If you have friends in a
city, it may be prudent to go to them
while in guest of a place you are able
to fill, unless you are acquainted with
city ways, as house maid, nurse or
cook or the round of duties in factory,
store or office, learn by degrees in
smaller towns. The unskilled girl in
the samll town must make a study of
some special industry before she turns
cityward

For weeks after the conversion the
brother who had lately "got religion"
ehoeaVored to persuade the other to
join the church. One day. when the
elder brother was making another eff
fort, he asked:
why can't you, Richard. Join the
church as I did?"
Its all right for you to be a mem
Der OF the church." replied Richard.

SAFETY FIRST
BY Stationmaster w. A. DOUGLAS
San Francisco

Throughout the land from west to east.
For years we've had an endless feast;
we've eaten until we've nearly burst
or food that's labeled Safety First"
We've eaten off every kind of plate
And sometimes at too rapid rate.
AIthough the service has been clean.
The food has not digested been.
For there are places where TODAY
The unsafe method still holds sway.
The courses have been much the same.
No change in anything but name.

Id try course called education;
For men are sadly in the dark
And need the education spark.
Mistakes that oft appall the nation
Result from lack of education.
Carlyle has said within his rules
That average men are mostly FOOLS;
Their failings, they ascribe to cause
We're asked to profit by mistakes
Abnormal man so often makes.
I would suggest another plan;
I'd make each man a normal man.
Train each to have anormal mind,
The normars neer toduty blind;
The normal won't at duty chafe,
The normal man is always safe.
II men would live the normal life,
Mistakes would not be half so rife.

That normal man is safest man.
1t is the weeds that spoil the sheaf,
The weak link that makes chain unsafe
'Tis known that one abnormal man
Can disarrange the well-laid plan.

We'd have few accident reports;

I'll mention here but a few.

The gates were down-why more re-

And finds the trouble that he hunts.

And cracks the bowl that holds his

And on his face displays a scar.

And pays his fare without DELAY;
The transfer for another ride

But to the warning gives no heed;
He thinks he's past his transfer point.
His nerves at once get out of joint;

The words to him caused no dismay;
He walked upon the railroad ties
The jury found, HE was not WISE"

And with both feet take proper stride;
If they would take just proper care
We wouldn't have our daily scare.
