JUST FOLKS
ASK THE SCANDAL MONCER.
By EdeAS A. Gaest

When the gossip starts to flowing.
Tells highly colorcd story
That affects osU country's fame,
Do not let his vhispcrinp hold you
Promptly ask him tins: Who told you2
What's vour source Of information?
Let us know the authors name"
When YOU We listened 10 story
That would stain your coslntrv's glory
DO not hesitate n minute
Nor admit il may be 50;
Ask tho man whate'er his station,
Where he got his Information
Put it up 10 him in this way:
"1f it's true, how do Won know
When the rumors thick are hvins,
And tho air is fou with flying,
You can check the flow Of scandal
And the gossip monEess too,
Just by stopping and compelling
Them to trace the tale they're telling
Make them name the man who told
them:
Make them prove their case 10 you
Though you hear it from your tSother
Never tell unto another
Any rumor vague, or gossip
That is cheering TO the foe
Until first you shall have tasked mm
And he's answered. when ysI ask him,
Where he got his information
If he cant IL isn't ao

A TWICE-TOLD TALE
One of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and when
1t is confirmed after long lapse OF time,
even if We hesitated TO believe it az first
hearing, We feel secure in accepting its
truth now The following experience of
"a Wilmington woman is confirmed after
four years:
Mrs f Horn. S43 kirkwood St. says:

my hands and muscles Often they would
swell and be painful and | noticed my
kidneys weren't acting properly. Doan S
Kidney Pills were recommended so highly

noticed Il big change felt much better
in every way since and keep Doan'S on
hand TO take in case of necessity"
The above statement was given Angus
Is. 1914, and on July 70, 1918, Mrs. Horn
sud: For lameness in the back and weak
kidneys | have never found anything 70

WHAT THEY FEAR MOST

The hypocrisy of The German note

IN the pretended appeal TO President
Wilson TO care for the interests of the
German people They know that the
interests Of the German people are safe

What the note writers lear most is
that the interests Of the Kaiser will be

Louisiana Notes
Learning From The Flu.

The epidemic has brought sorrow
and has entaiIed many hardships but
= has also served as medium for the
dissemination of knowledge of great
uolue if retained. One important
,oint brought to the attention Of the
neople according to comments seen in
almost every Louisiana country news
noner is the value of good roads.
They affect every emergency which
from time to time confronts a COM
munitv. In the one just past the sick
aid not receive the attention they
might have, if good roads had been
tbe rule instead of the exception. A
dozen different papers deplored this
fact Several Of them suggested that
now would be an opportune time to
hold a bond election for road build
inp. Those voting nay would be
= ighty lonesome ana utterly oblivious
m one of the most imperative needs
Of their community.

Advertising and Culture.

Advertisements are educative, as
well as being agencies for the dis
tribution Of goods. Most of US, be-
fore we care to buy something to
our advantage have to be shown that
really is fact.
The educative power Of advertis-
ing, therefore, is civilizing and cul-
tural force that should never be
overlooked. 1t has raised our stand
an Of living as has nothing else.
We need no great amount Of edu-
cation in addition to our common
school learning to know and appreci-
ate the bare necessities of life, but
the things that make life worth while
are those that come in addition to
bread and butter.
And it is these that advertising
helps to distribute.-People's Ga
stte (Thibodaux).

According to the Weekly Watch
man there is not a jitney operating

at the present time because, in the
opinion of the Waterman. of the new

He'd Better Consult Wilson.

The Lafayette Gazette notes that
Kaiser Bill is willing to run for pres
ident Of the Republic of Germany,
but says it holds considerable doubt
concerning President Wilson's en-
dorsenent. If Woodrow dosen't
think much of it, the Gazette says
that Bill may find himself in the
same predicament as some other pre-
sumptuous statesmen who campaigned
regardless Of White House instruc-
tons to voters. In the event such
action is taken it is the Gazette's
opinion the Germans will be in
fuenced even as has been the un-
trammeled American balloteer, and
'then he'll be in a heluva fix" sage
