THE MODERN VALENTINE
DAY

The old-fashioned valentine was
a very lovely dovey affair. 1t was
a sugery sweet display Of senti-
ment, purchased and sent 10y young
people at the perod of puppy love,
when they felt intoxicated by
mushy sentiment.
Young fellows would dream foI
weeks Of Valentines day, as a
time when they could perhaps dare
to express their emotion to then
object Of alteration. They would
trembingly purchase the most sen
timental one they could find, and
I've in anxiety for the subsequent
days to see how she took it. Us
ually she took it all right. as girls
like to be adored. Only the popu-
lar GIRL had so many missives of
this kind, that she was embarras-
sed in her dealings with the vari-
Gus suitors.
At the other extreme of senti-
ment was the old time comic valen-
tine, consisting of coarse and in
s%ulting pistures and verses, some
times obscene, that were sent to
anyone for whom a person conceiv-
ed dislike. The demand for that
kind of thing vas a proof of the
bad manners of those days.
The modern valentine has i'm
proved over those times. 1t is
more an affair of friendship than
love, and usually it pays pretty and
graceful compliments without
meaning anything serious. The
makers of these missives show the
improving taste of the times.
Whereas old time valentines were
crude combinations of lace paper
and highly colored pictures, many
of the modern ones show good de-
sign in color and drawings.
Perhaps this changed taste in
valentines suggests a more intel
ligent way Of looking at love,

RHEUMATISM

Restored To Splendid
Health BY Tanlac, Well
Known ROxbury Citizen
Makes Remar k a b |
Statement To Public.
Had Spent Thousands OF
Dollars and Tried Every
Known Remedy With
out Finding Relief.

Getting rid of the rheumatism
at this late day completely mysti-
ties me, for | had had it for fifty
years and had spent thousands of
dollars" was the statement made,
recently by William H. Hayes, a
well-known resident of Roxbury,
Mass, in relating his remarkable
experience with Tanlac. Mr..
Hayes has been identified with the
people of Roxbury for forty years
and is highly respected and es-
teemed by all who know him.
"This rheumatism got me when
just a lad in my teens and, while
| resorted to every known remedy.
il kept getting worse as the years
went by. For the past few years
every bone in my body seemed to
be aching clean to the narrow and
my joints would get so stiff and
sore it was agony to bend them.
For two years past the pains in
my feet and legs were so intense
for days at a time that ! could not
put my feet on the ground. When
| did get out | simply had to hob
BILE along at a snail's pace. The
pains finally settled in my arms,
shoulders and hands. These two
hands were so swollen and out of
shape | could not hold a pen OF
pencil to write a letter. | couldn't
sleep at night, saw no ease or
comfort during the day, and life
was truly a burden.
"Well, | was just about ready
to give up the fight when my at
tention was called to Tanlac. How
this medicine has done it | don't
know, but I do know | haven't an
ache Or pain, and I believe | could
get out there and walk a distance
of five miles and make it in re-
cord time. To put it all in a few
words. | am now in better con-
dition than I have been in a half
century. L don't think anybody
could have better reasons for
feeling thankful to Tanlac than |
have.

FAILING ROOFS

The frightful disaster at q
Washington theater when a roof
fell on an audience as the result
of a heavy load of snow is al
illustration of how it is often the
unexpected peril that creates the
disaster. An accident of this kline
is almost unheard of. and few
| people would foresee the ~necessi-
ty of guarding against it.
Such a catastrophe should lead
architects and builders everywhere
to give the most careful attention
to the problems involved by roofs
of public buildings. Such roofs
usually carry a tremendous weight
Even if well constructed the walls
sometime spread as the result OF
the extremely powerful thrust OF
the roof. In localities having
heavy SHOWS, this is a tremendous
additional burden at times. Also
high winds and hurricanes are 4
source of strain to be considered.
Safety is the first element to be
considered in any public resort
and all elements of danger should
be provided against before orna-
mentation is considered.

THE PROPER COURSE
Information Of Priceless Value to

How to act in an emergency is
knowledge of inestimable worth, and
this is particularly true of the diseases
and ills of the human body. If you
suffer with kidney backache, urinary
disorders, or any form Of kidney
trouble, the advice contained in the
following statement should add a val
liable asset to your stors of knowledge.
What could be more convincing proof
of the efficiency of Doan's Kidney Pills
han the statement of a Maysville citi-
zen who used the mand who publicly
tells of the benefit derived?
Ben p, Fleming, county constable,
22S Limestone street, Maysville, says:
Il have used Doan's Kidney Pills off
and on for several years when l have
needed them. At times nv kidneys got
out of order and suffered with dull
constant ache through the small of
my back. The kidney secretions we're
irregular in passage. A box or so of
Doan's never fails to relieve the
trouble in short time"

to thank you very sincerely for your

es the poison from the wound, such T.
vigorously if your lips and mouth have
no broken places.
Don't leave the ligature in one place
or closed down for more than ten or
fifteen minutes without loosening it
for a moment to allow the blod to
flow. This permits the poison, If in
the veins, to enter the rest of the
body in small amounts and minimizes
its effect.
Do everything to produce profuse
sweating in the patient. Give alhecol
only in small doses, teaspoonful at
the most; avoid ammonia as a stimu-
liant, and never give doses of whisky
except as alcohol. People do not re-
cover from snake bite" agre all these
authorities, because of the whisky
used but in spits of it."
And, finally, don't undertake to
emulate the Hopi Indian. He and his
ancestors for thousand years back
for four hundred of which we have
authentic records-have ben handling
and "wocshipping" these reptiles, and
even they are not infrequently the VIC
tins of misplaced confidence and are
bitten and seek refuge in their mys-
FERROUS and so far unknown cure.

GREAT TIMES ARE
IN PROSPECT AT
KY. STATE FAIR
Home Coming and Reunion To Be
Held During Big State Fair
Meeting.

Louisville, Ky. - So complete are
the plans for the Home Coming and
Reunion Week" formulated by the
Young Business Mems League as the
hospitality and human element of the
Kentucky State Fair the week of Sep
TENDER IL, that even a recluuse or O
hermit would have difficulty in not
finding at least one reunion to which
some past activity fhis life would

Fellowship and comradship which
comes with mans association with his
fellow-man.
The wide spweep of reunions out
lined include political, fraternal, and
school and military groups sub-divid-
ed small enough SO acquaintanceship
and chatty sociability will be easy
and natural. They will bring old
friends together easily and quickly
and lessen almost to the vanishing
point the chance of any visitor in
Louisville to the State Fair being lone
some or alone.
All of the last six state administra-
tons are to be represented in the re-
unions with the highest ranking Off
Gals of the executive and legislative
branches as chairman. For the admin
istrations prior to those of the late
UNted States Senator w. o. Bradley,
A. ]. Carroll is to be chairman.
While the political group reunions
are expected to bring hundreds togeth-
er, the military, fraternal and educa-
tional gatherings will have the widest
appeal. Veterans of four wars, Includ-
the Mexican, will have their individual
| booths as meeting places in the reun-
ion scheme as will graduates and for
mer students in every educational in
stitution of note in Kentucky. So that
absolutely no visitor can be left with
out meeting place, the largest booths
Of all will be those for reunions of
present and former residents Of the
various sections of Kentucky.
Days will be designated for the
many gatherings. In selecting them
the idea has ben to choose one on
which the greatest number from the
reunion scheduled are certain to be
present. Military reunions will be on
military day, former administrations
on Governors Day and other on SINH
