HEALTH THE KEYNOTE

Beauty means so much to women power, social triumph, admiration and love. Beauty implies good health. Who ever saw a woman racked with pain, struggling with weakness or disease, who could be called beautiful? The woman of to- day in this high-strung, nervous age is continually overdoing, with the re- suit that ills peculiar to her sex de- velop which, unchecked, will ruin all chances for her happiness. The nat ural restorative for such ailments is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, which for more than forty years has been recognized as a stan dard remedy for women's ills, and has done much to relieve pain and restore good health to women.-Adv.

The future of our town now
on the discarding of in

business men know the past and
present of our town but never
for one instant do they consider
that towns at some time grow in

operation, in its true sense;
(which excludes no business, in.
terests) it seems that the larger
business houses of our town are
at this time Offering little assist.
ance in the building of our city
to be, and we fear that this little
word cooperation is the .stumb.
ling block. Many business men
of the town when approached on
the subject of a bit'of advertising
throw up their hands in apparent
utter despair and say TIMES
ARE TOO HARD! with much
emphasis on the hard, when to
our way of looking they feel that
our sheet is not good enough to
advertise a low grade Of Italian
spaghetti. But how can we
make improvements without CO.
operation. how can the town i'm
prove without the hearty cooper
alton of all. So, with interests

front doors let's look to the future;

Laraway and Brother Abernethy

had a cake, chicken, homemade

regular Chinese vegetable dinner

aGtion, but imagine my surprise
when two days journey from
home, to hear the whistle Of an
kengine at noon. asked what
this meant and the Chinese told
me that it was the sound Of the
noon whistle at some coal mine
not far away. This whistle was
truly like a voice in the wilder.
ness, and made US feel like after
all we were not so far from home.
China abounds in coal, and in the
region we were travelling in there
are several mines, but only this
one that I know Of Is being work
ed. The pull over who shall have
the most profit from 1t the local
officials or the mines keeps the
mines in this region from being
worked to a great extent.
When I was through here in
June the people we're extremely
busy with wheat harvest; this
time they were very busy with
bean and peanut harvest. They
grow quantities of beans ant
peanuts. The oil business +
