MEANS END OF ALL THINGS
Number "3o," Originally Newspaper
Symbol, Has Come to Have Sig
nifieance Of Dire import.

BY frequent reference to 1t, noted
by newspaper readers, doubtless the
meaning of that cabalistic symbol $50"
has become familiar to many, but this
incident and explanation Is printed in
connection with the obsequies Of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, in the Montreal La
Patrie. "What does that signify2"
was asked by thousands who filed past
the casket of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
had remarked the bouquet Of flowers
upon which lay the symbol $50" in red
figures. This floral tribute was given
by members of the press gallery In the
Dominion parliament. For them this
number means the same as the words
which the great departed pronounced
some days after being stricken by his
malady: "It Is ended" tCest fini.)
The origin of this conventional symbol
has been lost In the traditions of jour
nalism, but after each night and at
the end Of every day the conventional
"30'' traversed the continent from end
to end. Editors in time adopted the
sign "3O" to inform the staff, the
various news departments and the
composing room that all. the copy"
was finished and that there would be
nothing. additional. Finally, for news
paper men, the number "30" became
the symbol of the end of all things Of
earth, and even Of life.

ONE MANS BEST INVESTMENT

An American business man had be-
come convinced of the reasonableness
of the doctrine Of mans stewardship.
He had thought it all out and decided
that 1t might be n good thing to try
the experiment. His various business
enterprises had prospered; his income
was constantly increasing; he GER
tainly could do things which he might
have done but had not. One night he
lay awake bordering the whole mat
ter, and before going to sleep prayed
over it. Then he made up his mind,
says the Christian Herald. Next morn
ing he instructed his bookkeeper to
open in the ledger new account In
his name, and marked Special" to
which the bookkeeper should regular
~ carry one-tenth Of all the profits.
He warned him never to fEil to have
the Special account ready when
called for. .....
And that business mans Special"
has never failed. 1t has been to him
wonderful revelation Of the capacity
Of man immersed in big enterprises
for doing good on large scale as a
side line. 1t has helped to build

In Fifteen Days
Gains Is Pounds
Thompson Was So Rundown He Could
Not Walk Without Help-Tanlac
Builds Him Up.

'sI commenced taking Tanlac just
fifteen days ago, and have gained ex-
actly fifteen pounds so far, which
gives me an actual gain of one pound
a day." said Peter Thompson, who
for the past six years has been con-
nected with the Kansas City park
board, and lives at 400 Chestnut street,
Kansas City, Mo-, few days ago.
"Whcn began taking Tanlac," he
continued, II was so weak and run
down that | couldn't walk step un-
less | had somebody to lean on, but
| can get out and cover a good many
blocks now, and am getting ready to
go back to work Sometime ago

MIA, and it came very near finishing
me up. | pulled through, however,
but | had never been able to regain
any strength, and my appetite was 80
poor that | couldn't eat enough to
keep me alive hardly. My head ached
all the time, and | would often have
dizzy spells. also suffered from
nervousness and never got a good
nights sleep. My stomach was in
mighty bad condition, too, and ev-
erything ate disagreed with me and
! would have the worst sort of attacks
Of indigestion. | was certainly in
bad shape, and I had began to think
that would never find medicine
that would get me started up hill
again.
Il had been reading the different
statements about Tanlac, and one day
| saw where lady whom | knew very
well, had been greatly helped by TAX
ing this Tanlac, SO | made up my
mind right then and there to give it
a trial myself. / commenced to get
better right away, and it is Just sim
ply remarkable the way have gained
in weight and strength. Why, / can
go anywhere / want to, now, and I
can just feel myself getting stronger
every day. My appetite has come
back, and I eat three hearty meals
every day, and what I eat agrees with
me all right. I never have indiges-
tion or any kind of stomach trouble
any more, and my nerves are so steady
that / sleep like log every night.
The headaches have left me, too, and
so have those dizzy spells, and in fact,
I just feel fine al the time. Taniac
has just simply fixed me up all right,
and that is why talk so much about
1t, and am always recommending it

THE PRICE WE ARE PAYING

WE don't like to engage in saying 'I told you so" but I'm thinking now of just how many thousands of dollars in trade that the Brinkley business men have been losing regularity every day during the entire Fall season because of the failure to have a single road entering Brinkley from any direction that was not in a mis- erable and nearly impossible condition. The Argus man pleaded with our merchants last summer and suggested that they call a meeting, or ganiZe and plan to have some one whose business it would be to SEE that this very con- dition should not exist. They wouldn't act-didn't seem to think we needed an organiza- ton and here we are now each of us paying , times as much in direct loss each week as it would have cost us to employ a regular paid Secretary to work out plans and attend to seeing that our interests as a community center were looked after.
 Just to the east of us little measly strip of road not more than a 100 yards dis tance, in the edge of Wheatley which could have been, should have been and would have been attended to had we but have had some one who had the time to have done it, is now making it impossible to use the splendid Bankhcad
