Born 115 Years Auo

An anniversary was quietly cele-
brated recently, by the officers and
employees of a well known concern.
This in itself was nothing out of the
ordinary. Births, weddings, his
torical events of patriotic and re-
ligious nature-anniversary celebra-
lions of these are of frequent occur
ence.
The particular anniversary upon
which we base this brief notice. to
our readers was. however. of dis
tinctly unusual character in the
commercial field, inasmuch as it
marked lis years of success for a
noted old family remedy with which
we are all familiar - Johnson s
Anodyne Liniment. 1t would be no
eXaggeration to style the event as
unique, for how many of US can mem
ton even one other preparation OF
this kind that has enjoyed the abb
solute confidence of the people over
such an extended period?
The historian Of the party-there
Is always a Northumberland the
history Of this famous anodyne In
an interesting and entertaining man
ner, tracing the growth Of its popu-
larity from it's inception in the year
1910, when 1t was the private formula
of its originator, DR.. A. johnson. up
to the present, and while its splendid
reputation in our communities Is a
matter Of common knowledge. it will
not be amiss to sketch. on this oc-
casion, the foundations upon which
it's remarkable record was built.
There are a great many household
remedies. great many liniments-
but they come and they go. Yet
Johnson's Anodyne Liniment is more
popular today than ever before. 1t
is also perhaps the linlment most
generally used by all New England
and Canadian families. 1t has en-
dured for rs years because it is a
superior product. 1t is good because
1t has done good, and nothing but its
efficiency could have kept it alive so
long.
The human ills for which it has
proved so dependable q remedy are
much the same now as have always
afflicted humanity. What a world OF
pains it has relieved! The number
estimated; but what a story of use
fulness in its life Of lis years! II
it had not been the best-a living
force for good-it would. like others
have ceased to exist long ago. yet
the present generation finds it as
valuable as the first generation did
and the fact that it is recommended
and sold by dealers everywhere is
further testimony of the high esteem
in which it is held.
A goodly measure of its success Is
contained in the statement that
Johnson's Anodyne Liniment is diff
ferent from all others-decidedly sc
because it is prepared for internal
a well as external use-an exclusive
feature well worth remembering II
you desire a safeguard in the home
that is equal to most every emer-
gency rather than to few only.
1t is gratifying to record in con-
clusion that not only has the high
standard of Johnson's Anodyne Lini-
ment been constantly upheld but also
the firm of I. S. Johnson & Co.. Inc.
has an enyiable reputation fol
honesty and integrity and has al
ways retained the full confidence and
respect of its many thousands OF
well wishers.

Rernice J. Simpson, the proprietors
of the Vogue Beauty parlor.
II has been less than year since
thew went into business, but so great
has been the favor they have won,
that they have added assistants to
help in the work and their waiting
list is always a long one. All those
things for which good beauty parlors
are noted are done here and whether
1t is in the treatment of the scalp or
in manicuring the same conscientious
work is performed. The excellent SER
vices performed by the two young
women together with their own per-
sonal charm have served to win them
a very high place in the esteem of
the women of Augusta and vicinity.

Examination
By Royal S. Copeland

On the same day I read two articles
relating to school children. One was
headed; 100000 New York City
Children Have Impaired Eyesight."
The other read, Majority Of Chicago's
Pupils Have Bad Teeth"
In the schools of New York City
are million pupils. 1t seems dread
full thing to think that one quarter of
them have defective sight.
Yet that is what the Director of
Educational Hygiene says. He reports
that approximately twenty-five per
cent suffer not only health but in
scholastic work from poor vision"
/ was panied to observe his further
statement that a large percentage of
the children were found to be wearing
glasses. unsuited TO their needs. OF
course this indicates that great many
parents have taken their children to
incompetent persons for examination
and prescription Of glasses.
This is unnecessary, because every
community, certainly a great city, has
plenty of experts In eye examination
and glass fitting. It is not easy TO
determine exactly what lenses young
child should have. On this account,
only one skilled IN the science should
be permitted to prescribe.
I never could understand why old
people should 90 into a store and try
on q lot Of glasses out Of a box until
something is found which will do"
1t is far better to have a real exami-
nation by one who knows all about
eyes and glasses. TO have correct
glasses means comfort, protection OF
the delicate eye tissues and perserva-
ton of the sight.
But for growing children, nc
chances should be taken. As the New
York director said, any other course
will cause the children to suffer. not
only in health, Int in scholastic
work.
The Chicago Supervisor Of Ora
Hygiene, in lis report said, "Tht
percentage Of pupils with dental ills
runs as high as 90 per cent in some
schools and not less than 20 in any
The doctor thinks the increasing
number Of class failures is due "a
this cause.
In most instances it is necessary
merely TO call attention Of the par
cnts to the eye and mouth defects
1 wish, though, / could help to i'm
press on parents how essential il il
to the welfare OF children to have
good eyes and good teeth. At least
once a year the child should be in
spected by somebody competent tt
recognize defects. Then when they
are found they should be corrected

A member of a family I was con

take responsibility. She was In a

Little by little she began the legend
that she was mad, mad as a halter
This was stroke of genirs. Never
again need she do anything that bored
her. She was mad, so no one could
expect her to behave like anyone else.
She sacrificed her husband, her chill

duties, obligations went to the wall.
She was mad, what-ho,
