THE TRUTH SHALL
MAKE YOU FREE

A recently discharged soldier went
into civilian life-and then decided TO
return TO the army. His reason was
that he found it easier TO talk the
lang uage.
He didn't say what language, but
after few questions his position be
came plain. In the army they are
less polite but they know each other
better. In civil life we sre civil. We
rarely say what we really mean. II
we are invited anywhere, and we don't
want to go, we don's say SO; we mere
iy have previous engagement. If
we are ysked whether we like some
thing that the other fellow likes, we
say "yes,' even tho il gives us pain
in the rhombohedral gland.
We profess personal liking-even
enthusiastic affection n-for people TO
y ~hom we want to sell something. II
we are made the recipients OF honey
favored overtures, We fell a sinister
suspicion that We have been picked ~
prospects,
II seems unfortunate that any one
should have TO 60 into the army TO
escape from this kind OF thing. For
many people il is an excellent thing
to be in the army, but il is sad that
there should be no other environment
except perhaps the navy-where
things are called by their real names.
Sincerity in these two branches Of the
public service is natural; the members
don't hav- to sell anything to make
living. But fairly good alternative
would be found in the development OF
a corresponding sincerity In civil life.

YOU CAN, If YOU WILL.

Grit and perseverance, can over :
come almost any handicap OF nature.
Near Bloomington, illinois, in the
heart Of the corn belt, the late spring
threatened serious losses to the farm
ers because OF their inability to do
their planting In time to reap a har-
vest. To overcome this they have
been plai,ting corn far into the night.
using seaychlights to dispel the dark
ness.
In the outskirts Of Chicago there is
a young married man WHO works in
the garden until 10 and IL o'clock AZ
night, using carbide lantern for II.
Elimination.
I Another man whose days are 90 full
ly occupied graded and terracsd the
grounds around his new house at
night by the light of the searchlieht
on his automobile and the electric
light on his front porch.
This is but an illustration Of the
ingenuity that is being brought into
play all over the country, . trait
which seems TO predominate In Amer
lean people,
1t only requires little ingenuity,
a little discrimination and . rea SON
able amount Of perseverance, TO ac-
hRvs1 SuScess In the sea Of failure
these days.
Where, there Is will there Is always
a way, but the way IL Of little value

ISN'T IT THE TRUTH?

If few OF our most prominent
citizens should propose that all bust
ness should be suspended for a day,
aud that everybody get q pick or a
shovel or some other implement and
all turn out in grand cleanup OF The
town, what would be the RESULT II
would go with . whoop, over the top
and beyond. II would be lark, and
everybody would be happy and jolly
and, work like hero.
But suppose the same gentlemen
should propose that all business be
suspended for dav and that all male
citizens devote the day to cleaning up
their own respective yards and other
property. What would be the result
in that casei Not the same, by long
odds.
Possibly. few would take the
suggestion seriously, but a majority
would pass it by with a jest or smile.
1t would be no lark to work alone,
but only hard toll in the hot sun.
There would DO no top to 60 over, no
spectators to applaud, and no dazzling
in the spotlight of publicity. 1t
would be foolish TO waste an entire day
insuch a humdrum manner, when the
old yard looks fairly we'll az it is.
Now isn't that true3

TRY NASH'S Chill
and FEVER TONIC
Guaranteed to Break Chills or
Money Refunded

Chills and fever are no respecters
of persons. Rich and poor alike
are affected with them and it takes
an iron constitution to withstand the
assault for any length of time. Of
course there are lot of fake cures
on the market, many of them sold
by reliable druggists who really hope
to find them worthy of recommends
ton. Now comes a chill and fever
tonic that is guaranteed. The max
ers, Nash Bros. of Jonesboro, Ark,
are well known manufacturing drug
gists. They guarantee Nash's Chill
and Fever Tonic to you and the
druggist both. In other words, if it
doesn't break chills the druggist will
refund your money and they will
refund it to the druggist. That
certainly shows faith in prescription
sure enough.
AS matter of fact Nash's Chill
and Fever Tonic is the result of
years of experimentation and in
vestigation. 1t contains quinine in
liquid form and contains a purga-
tive. 1t is not hard to take and five
or six doses will bring relief. If
you have chills and fever get q bot
tie Cts a large bottle, price sixty
cents and take according to direc-
tions. Sold by P. R. Turner Drug
Company, Mariana, Ark.
