The fact that several thousand SOL

TOASTS OF RUSTIC ENGLAND
As Might Be Expected, Many Of Them
Have to Do With Eating
and Drinking.

A good rustic toast is likely to be
concerned with beef and beer, like that
comprehensive toast of Arcadian wilds,
"The Nine BIS" which is as much as
to say: Bakers best bread, butchers
best beef and brewers best beer. In
another form it runs: "The-inside of
a loaf, the outside Of a Jail, a pound
Of beaksteak and a pot of good ale"
The ploW is toasted by an enigma:
Life before, dead in the middle and
body and soul behind" The shy car
ter gives for a toast, "Scorched bread
and well buttered." adding, "if that
amt toast, Tn bothered" Some toaSts
are a little unkind, as: MAY i'm as
Wunt wurrk in the 'eat go 'ungry when
the frostes come" To q farmers wife
it is polite to raise your glass with the
words: "Ere's good 'ealth to zee,
mum, an may Yer allus ave the
strength to push about same as yew
does now, and set a pattern t all the
farmers wives way 'round.'-London

flag, and it somehow found it's way
into some rubbish about to be collect

"But only a short time after a box
with waste, containing that soiled flag,
had been put out on the curb, a wee
little scout came into her store, saluted
in grand military style and said:

you should not insult the American
flag that way?' Then he handed the

AN OHIO druggist writes to "Te Practical Druggist" a prominent New York
! Drug Journal, as follows: "Plase furnish formula for Castora. All the
formulas I have worked with are either Ineffective or dsagmeahe to administer"
To this 1.-THE Practical Druggist replies: I'VE do not supply formulas for
proprietary articles We couldn't we wanted to. Your experience with initiative
formulas is not surprising, but just what is to be expected. When Castora is
wanted, why not supply the genuine? If you make a substitute, it's not fair or
right to label it Castnia. We can give you all sorts Of laxative preparations for
children, but not CaMora, and we think a mother who asks for Cashria would not
feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name"

SOUTHER FIELD, April When
the members of the executive staff re-

somewhat lonesome, due to the fact
that Sergeant Major James Davies was
not there, having been discharged at
his request Saturday. Sergeant Da-
vies has been at the post since it's in
ception and had been on duty every
day since that time. He came to the
post on May 1 and started system of
handling the paper work in such a
manner that it was not long before

interesting military career, be-

RELUCTANCE IN
VOTE CAMP AICN

1t is likely, from all appearances,
that the ladies who are making the
great circulation drive of The Times
Recorder a success will from now on
turn their efforts towards people who
are not now subscribers of the paper.
Almost daily a few voluntary new
subscriptions come into the Office,
which would indicate that the effects
of the drive on these people is al
ready being felt. 1t has been esti-
mated that the number of families in
Americas who should and are able to
take the local paper but who are not
now subscribers, is above the 500
mark. The estimate for the county is
little more, but both districts before
the end of the campaign will be gone
into thoroughly. 1t is hoped that ev-
cry person in the city and county not
now subscribers will be asked for their
subscriptions before the end of the
big drive.
An excellent opportunity is offered
those candidates who began late, or
who have been handicapped in any
way, possibly to take the lead this
week and keep it during the remain
der of the campaign. This lies in the
prize ballots, which are Is in number,
nine for each district. The first of
these prize ballots, which is for 900,
600 ballots, goes to the candidate in
amount in subscriptions this week up
to 10 P. NJ. Saturday night. Candi-
dates on rural routes in District Two,
however, have until the following Mon
day to mail their amounts, and the de-
eision as to who is the winner in Dis
trict Two will necessarily be delayed
until Tuesday or Wednesday. All can
didates in District One had their last
balances on clubs prorated and votes
were issued on these balances yester-
day, and these will be at The Times
Recorder office for them when they
call. Balance votes of candidates in
District Two will probably be mailed
to them today or tomorrow. The names
of all winners of the prize ballots
will be published the following day af-
ter the decision is made.
Interest is no doubt running high,
in regard to the prize ballot votes, be-

CHENEY'S
EXPECTORANT
Breaks Bad COld-BeSt for WhOOp
ing Cough and Group.

Take for Spring Colds and Hoarse-
ness.
Spring colds are dangerous, and
should not be neglected. Undoubtedly
the best preparation to use for all
sorts of colds, coughs, Group, whoop-
ing cough, bronchial trouble and sore
throat is Cheney's Expectorant.
Physicians recommend it. Cheney's
Expectorant will break up bad cold
in short time. Whole families in
many cases depend upon Cheney's Elk
pectorant, from the child to the grand
parents, SO when any of your children
catch cold or show any symptoms of
whooping cough, a few doses of Chen
ey's Expectorant is recommended. 1t
will promptly relieve those miserable
headaches that come from colds and
when your head and nose are all
stopped up with feverishness and
sneezing, sore throat, get bottle of
Cheney's EXpectorant from any drug
store. 1t will give you prompt re-
lief from cold or cough and is a good
thing to have in the house in case of
emergency ad

cause of the fact that by them can
didates who feel that they are not in
the lead have the chance to overtake
the others with the extra prize ballot
of 100000. The second prize ballot
goes to the candidates in each district
who turn in the second largest
amounts, and is for 100000 votes. The
next is 100000, 100000, and so on
down to 100000 votes. The race is
not so decidedly in the favor of any
few candidates that one of the prize
ballots would not help wonderfully.
The standings of those in District
One will be published again tomorrow
and a number of changes will be not
ed Recently a few candidates whose
! friends have been voting for them, but
who had not taken any active part
themselves, have entered and an ex-
ceedingly nice showing is expected
from some of them by their friends.
During this period of the drive a
years subscription gets any candidate
10000 regular votes, besides applying
on the club, and those whose sub
scriptions expire soon could help their
favorite candidate much by calling at
the campaign Office and paying their
subscriptions and have the votes is
sued to the one whom they would
most like to see among the winners.
If you have not helped some one al
ready, come in today, and do your bit.

The bond campaign continued today
under favorable conditions. Last night
at banquet of workers from the 9th
district at the Windsor, a drive was
launched to pledge every voter in the
district to vote for the bonds, and
some thirty men were busy at that
task today.
At joint meeting of the two local
camps of the P. o. S. of A. last night
several bond talks were made, Con-
gresham Crisp, Chairman Hixon, OF
the bond campaign and Mayor Shep-

of the issue. A test vote of the mem

ing, and it revealed a sentiment of 100
per cent. for bonds.
