LEAVE DOOR UNLOCKED
FRIEND LUGS OFF BOOTS

Business in one Medina shoe store
house was SO brisk Saturday night
that the proprietors and clerks be-
came exhausted, SO to speak. All
went home without locking the door,
and without even carrying in all the
stock on outside display.
The night officer and a friend
found the store unlocked, and to jar
the owners the friend carried off a
pair of $5 rubber boots. The rush of
the day had made SO big hole in
the extra stock that no one about the
store could tell whether stock was
missing when the door was found
open, or was all intact.

Doctor Tells Holu to Detect
Harmful Effects of Tobacco
Tru These SIMPLE TESTS

New York: Doctor Connor, for
merly of Johns Hopkins hospital,
says: Many men who smoke, chew
or snuff necessarily and who are
seemingly healthy are suffering
from progressive organic ailments.
Thousands of them would never
have been afflicted had 1t not been
for the use of tobacco. and thou
sands would soon get we'll II they
would only stop the use of tobacco.
The chief habit-forming principle
of tobacco Is nicotine. q deadly
poison which. when absorbed by
the system. slowly affects the
nerves. membranes. tissues and
vital organs of the body. The
harmful effect of tobacco varies
and depends on circumstances.
One will be afflicted with general
debility. others with catarrh Of the
throat. indigestion, constipation,
extreme nervousness, sleepless-
ness. loss OF memory, lack of will
power. mental confusion, etc. 9th
ers may suffer from heart disease.
bronchial trouble. hardening of the
arteries, tuberculosis, blindness or
sven cancer or the common afflic-
tiOn known as tobacco heart. Ii
you use tobacco In any form you
can easily detect the harmful ef-
fects by making the following sim
pie tests. Read aloud one full
page from book, II. in the course

you must frequently clear your

deadly drug, nicotine. In either
case you have just two alternatives
keep on with the self-poisoning
process irrespective of the dangers
and suffer the consequences. or
give up the habit and escape the
dangers. You can overcome the
craving and stop the habit In q
very short time by using the fol.

to any drug store and ask for Nico-

A YEAR OF WHAT?

Another year is before us, with all of it's possibilities for good or evil, for success or failure.
 As we cross the border of 1920 how many of us are giving even a passing thought to the character of the course we are to pursue in the next twelve months?
 The commander who goes into bat tie in pursuance of definite plan of action has every opportunity for success, but he who plunges in at random courts disaster and defeat.
 It is so in every sphere of life.
 If we would enrich the world by our individual presence. we must have a definite plan in view, and that plan must be adhered to in the face of all obstacles.
 Accumulation of wealth is not the noblest aim in life. With prosperity we must have honor and integrity, peace and contentment, or the gold we amass becomes but dross which drags us down to the mire of degra. dation.
 Honor and integrity go hand ir hand, and peace and contentment are their twin children.
 All within the reach of every mar and every woman who has the mora courage to begin the new year witf a determination to do that which il right and just, regardless of wha friend or foe may think or say.
 It is easier to. do right than to dt wrong. In the one our conscience i clear and is potent aid to us il the pursuance of an object. In tn other we labor constantly in tn shadow of fear, suspicious of man kind, and with mind warped ant distorted by the dread of exposure.
 For each of us it will be year re plete with something-7zbut what vii that something be?"

Our people have beautifully hepled our Method ist brethren toward building their new church at Oak Forest. If they are not willing for anyone else to enjoy it, then we will ask them to please help us fix up the old build ing there, for Presbyterians and Baptists and others who may have a right to preach and worship God in these parts as they please. No one denomination can reach all the peo- pie. Presbyterians and others have some work and places to fill in the world. We get along better by be- ing big enough to concede that
