It has been said that one of the newly elected constables made the remark that 'he expected to make his liv- ing on the cases he brought into court this winter and it would seem that is the motto of all the court officials. It has been suggested by some of our townspeople that we have 'twel- come" songs at the entrances to our town, others advise signs reading propriate. We must awaken to the fact that men of principle must be chosen to fill these offices, those who wish to see justice done not alone to collect their fees. We have been in the past and are now the ridicule of the surrounding towns, not only in our immediate vicinity, but in all parts of the state. It would seem that one of our greatest needs is jail at The Center, that those who come from long. distances may have free board and lodging while await ing trial. Remedies are. being talk eO over TOT the existing state or a1- fairs but as yet there seems to be no solution of the problem.

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It Is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason IS PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as ike
an endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are IN need of It.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, tie success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is due to the fact,
90 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; eorrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

JEWELS USED IN WATCHES
Hard Substance Is Needed to With
stand the Constant Friction Which
Wears Away Moving Parts.

The principal reason for the deteri-
grafton of any piece Of machinery is
because the constant friction wears
away the moving parts and interferes
with the regularity of the mechanism.
A watch, being a machine in which
absolute uniformity of speed is essen
tiaI, it is necessary to reduce this
friction to minimum-either through
constant OiIing, the use OF ball bear
ings or some -ery hard material which
will withstand the wear and tear of
constant friction The first two OF
these methods are not feasible in so
small a piece of machinery as a
watch, so certain very hard jewels are
placed at various points to counteract
the rubbing caused by tie moving
parts.
Watches are generanS equipped
with z, 10, II. Is. 81 sr q jew
els, the 10 and 17-jewel types being
the most popular. Intrinsically, the
jewels used in the manufacture of
watches are Of little value, but from
the standpoint of service and the spe-
cific purpose which they serve they are
invaluable. The jewels usually used
In matchmaking are the hardest Of
the precious stones, diamonds, sap
phires and rubies, and Of these the
most generally used is the sapphire,
which combines hardness with COM
parativeIy reasonable price.
