Land Where Childhood Is Cherished

Japan has been called the Land Of
the Chrysar hemums and the Land Of
the Cherry Blossoms. 1t may well be
called the Land Where Children are
Loved.
There is probably no country in
the world where childhood is more
deeply cherished than in Japan; where
such pains are taken to make child
hood happy; where the education of
children is made to brighten instead
of clouding the sunny morning of life.

Forgot What Tie Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when a
young gentleman came to this office
and asked for a copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized it
carefully when copy was handed
him, and then said: "NOw | know"
wv hat is it you are looking for" we
inquired. MY wife sent me after a
bottle of Chamderlain's Cough
Remedy, and | forgot the name.
went to several stores and The clerks
named over everything in the line on
the shelf except Chamberlain's. IN
try again, and I'll never go home with
out Chamberlain Cough Remedy"
The Republican would suggest to the
proprietOrs of stores. that they post
their clerks, and never let them sub
stitute. Customers lose faith in stores
where substituting is permitted, to
say nothing of the injustice to makers
of good goods and the disappointment
of customers.
