SHAKESPEARE ORGANS

The all-wise South Pittsburg
Hustler. originator of unique
spelling, now wants to spell
Shakespeare (the modern and ac-
cepted spelling of the name)
"Shakespear," on the ground
that that is the way the author,
himself, spelled it. All right.
but if the Hustler is going to a.
dept the Shakespearean style of
spelling. it will have abundant
material for its new unabridged
dictionary now being prepared.
1t requires the use of a glossary
to understand the meaning of
some of Shakespeare's express
ions, and we doubt if the erudite
Shakespearean scholar on the
Hustler staff, who is informing
us all about that gentleman,
could read the early editions of
his works. We know we could
not with very much degree of en-
joyment. 1t was only when the
photographers commenced their
labors in earnest that the English
language took definite shape as
regards photography and etymol-
ogy.
By the way there are other
ways of spelling the name of A.
von's bard which the Hustler
might use occasionally for
change, but the accepted one in
modern scholars wide Webster)
is Shakespeare" He gives
three forms but NOT the Hus-
tiers "ohakespear", or Shake
apple or Shakefig. The nearest
Webster gets to the fruit line is
"Shakespere,'' which suggests
the French word for father, bere,
which is much different from the
French word for peas, which is
bo1ye.

POOR TELEGRAPH SERVICE

Our attention is called to the
poor telegraph service now ex-
listing in the valley. The old
method of telegraphing from a
railway station was abolished
several years ago, and the pre-
sent method is to telephone a
message to So. Pittsburg. This
service in abominably poor, mes
sages being delayed in various
ways, besides the great inconven'
fence of attempting telephone
use, which in itself is not a Joy
forever.
1t is strange that Seluachee
Valley with its great resources
and its hundreds of citizens who
are anxious to advance, cannot
enjoy the advantages of the out
er world, or at least cannot have
those it once enjoyed. At one
time it was possible to send a
telegraph message direct, night
or day, from the local railroad Of
fee. or from any other point on
the line. Now you can't make
the ripple.
At one time you could board
train here Sunday morning for
any point up the valley and in
the evening for any point below.
Now you can't do that.
At one time you could send a
letter to any point up the valley
in the morning or to any point
down the valley in the evening.
Now you can't do that.
We are bottled up completely,
bottled in bond" The march
of progress has passed Us by. and
has withdrawn its benefits, which
having once enjoyed we thirst
for. The situation is reversed
once we enjoyed what was in
the bottle, now we are in the bot
tile with the cork damned in
tight.

Health and Ability to AC-

Blood acts like a fuel. Pump
ed thru the body by the heart, it
sustains the muscles and tissues.
1t renews them. 1t feeds the
brain-the tissues of the eye and
face. That is why people look
so pale and lifeless when blood
is impovished. The body it's
sues are being supplied with
weak fuel. The blood has not
enough red corpuscles. You
would not eat poor food with no
nourishment in it; no more
should you let the fuel that sup.
plies sustenance to your entire
body be inferior. Have good
blood. Improve the quality and
keep it at its best.
If you look pale and feel weak,
if you have lost your enthusiasm
and energy, II your blood Is clog
ged with poisons, your system is
being fed with a poor grade of
of blood. That's no way to 60
around. If you are not at your
best, get at the source of the
trouble right away. Put an end
to half living.
Take that ideal tonic. Pepto-
Mangan, to tone up your blood
and purify it. Get the full en-
joyment out of living. Breathe
