ARE FORGETTING TOO MUCH
Writer Criticizes Modern Progress
When It Causes Neglect of Much
of the Glorious Past.
We need, as we never needed be
fore, a broader and deeper study of
history, of philosophy, of literature;
for most of our young, a knowledge
of the mental and spiritual past of
the race is of far greater importance
than a knowledge of the physical
past, at the amoeba stage, or any
other. Science, much as it can do
for us, can never meet our deepest
need; the world of imaginative
beauty and the world of ethical en
deavor are apart from its domain. It
has no spring to touch the will, yet
that which has, the magnificent in
heritance of our literature, is more
and more neglected for the latest
machinery that applied science has
devised, or the most recent treatise
on insect, bird and worm. It is well
to study insect, bird and worm, for
they are endlessly interesting, but I
maintain that neither the full sum
of knowledge concerning them, nor
even the ultimate fact about the ulti
mate star, can be a substitute for
knowledge of the idealism of Thomas
Carlyle, of the categorical imperative
of Kant—for that study of the hu
manities which mtans preserving, for
the upbuilding of youth, that which
was best and finest in the past, as
we go on toward the future.—From
the Atlantic.
INTERESTED IN THE SERMON
Modern Devotee of Fashion Did Not
Seem to Have Taken Dr. Sur-
< plice’s Discourse to Heart.
On a bright Sunday, when the
snow lay white under blue skies and
the tinkle of sleighbells gave an air
of unaccustomed gayety to the park,
our friend Russell Newell happened
to observe as he emerged into the
Plaza after his morning stroll the
encounter of two slender young crea
tures, each arrayed in the extreme
of fashion and looking (as their way
is) as if each particular movement
were compounded of a series of at
titudes any one of which might serve
as the pose for a dashing modem
portrait. The pair greeted each
•other with effusion. “You don’t
mean to tell me, Ermyntrude,” said
the one in the bright green, “that
you are going to church?”
“Yes, I am too, Adeline,” said the
one in the indescribable blue, “yes,
I am. You see, Dr. Surplice is
preaching the most interesting ser
mons against the new dress styles.
You’ve no idea how much you learn
from listening to him. Better come
along.”—New York Evening Post.
READY FOR THE BORROWERS.
“I have eggs as cheap as 30 cents,

AT LEAST MEN FOR A TIME
Story of Heroism in the “Underworld”
That Is Calculated to Set a
Person Thinking.
“The underworld I” That word
has been bandied about so much of
late. It is used to hint at poverty,
crime, vice, the petrifaction of am
bition, the utter extinction of no
bility of character, and sodden deg
radation without a redeeming trait.
Some even use it with a covert sneer.
But listen to what happened when
a ramshackle old lodging house in
New York’s underworld caught fire.
“A crowd of Park row human flot
sam and jetsam and boys of the
neighborhood bent their backs and
bunched themselves together to break
the force of the jumps made by seven
women from the third floor of the
burning building. The jump was
more than thirty feet, but the women
were saved.
“Only one needed a surgeon’s at
tention, but some of the men walked
away with bruised backs, with heads
cut by flying heels and arms strained
by the impact. Most of those who
made up this human life net said
gruffly they had no names when in
formation was sought. Others were
willing to say Johnny di Martino,
Patsy James, Bogo, Johnny Pasola,
Kid Limbino, Chinkie the Wop, and
such like. The addresses were: ‘Oh,
around here.’”
Which means “Nowhere at all.”
How many self-satisfied householders
who take their comfortable homes as
a matter of course, who smugly re
gard themselves as pillars of the
community, could have done better?

BIG TRADE WITH ARGENTINA
American Manufactures Enjoy Much
Popularity in That Rapidly De
veloping Country.
American manufactures have long
been popular in Argentina and con
stitute an important part of the
growing exports to that country.
Sales to that country during the last
fiscal year, as shown by statements
recently prepared by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, de
partment of commerce, included
many articles of wide use in an agri
cultural and rapidly developing
country, such as farming imple
ments, 6 1-3 million dollars; twine,
2 million; traction and stationary
engines, 1 million, and windmills a
half-million. Automobiles were ex
ported to the extent of I*4 million
dollars’ worth; other cars and car
riages, 3 million; sewing machines,
880 thousand dollars’ worth; type
writers, 355 thousand; cash regis
ters, 261 thousand, and miscellane
ous machinery, 1% million dollars.
Other articles exported in large quan
tities included boards and planks,
5 2-3 million dollars; shooks, 2 1-3
million; furniture and other wood
manufactures, 1 million; gasoline
and naphthas, 2 1-3 million; illumi
nating oil, 2*4 million; cottonseed
oil, 1 million; leather manufactures,
including boots and shoes, 2y 2 mil
lion ; chemicals, drugs and medicines,
114 million, and cotton goods and
electrical appliances, each about a
half-million dollars. Musical in
struments, clocks and watches, glass
ware, wheelbarrows, soap, blacking,
firearms and scales and balances are
among the numerous other items
illustrative of the wide range covered
by the exports from the United
States to Argentina.

DECISION OF SOME MOMENT
Ruling by Tennessee Supreme Court
Will Probably in Future Be
Cited as a Precedent.
The supreme court of Tennessee
has decided a case which is of inter
est here because of the discussion
raised last year at the time of the
impeachment of Governor Sulzer
that the extra session of the legisla
ture had no power to impeach the
governor because it had convened for
a special purpose having to do with
the impeachment, says the New York
Sun. The case before the court in
volved the right of the Tennessee
legislature to appropriate $25,000
for an agricultural exposition com
pany when the legislature was con
vened for the special purpose of pass
ing the usual appropriation bills for
maintaining the state departments.
The court held that under the sec
tion of the Tennessee constitution
authorizing the governor, on extraor
dinary occasions, to convene the gen
eral assembly by proclamation, “in
which he shall state specifically the
purpose for which they are to con
vene, but they shall enter on no leg
islative business except that for
which they were specifically called,”
the governor can limit the subject
which the legislature can consider,
and he can do this by the imposition
of qualified matter upon a general
subject; and hence that he could
qualify the general subject “appro
priations” by “necessary to maintain
the state’s institutions.”
WAS IN NO GREAT DANGER
Quiet Little Man’s Story and Subse
quent Explanation Made Him
Slightly Unpopular.
The talk in the smokeroom had
turned upon personal risks, and the
big man with the loud voice had
just related some veracious adven
tures and hair-breadth escapes which
had happened in the course of his
career.
Suddenly the quiet little man who.
was sitting in a corner spoke up.
“Only this morning,” he remarked,
“as I was engaged in the ordinary
course of my business, a boiler,
weighing several tons, came hurling
through the air within a few feet of
my headl”
There were many exclamations of
horror, and the big man turned to
the speaker with increased respect.
“You are engaged in the engineer
ing profession, I presume,” he in
quired.
“No,” said the little man; “I am
engaged as a ticket collector, and the
incident I refer to occurred when I
was standing on the platform of our
station and the express went
through.”
And in the silence which followed
the big man let his cigar go out.

installed, and the Chamber will
now begin actively, not only upon
many things of importance already
under consideration, but everything
new that may come up for the

ACT QUICKLY
Delay Has Been Dangerous in

Do the right thing at the right
time.
Act quickly in the time of danger.
In time of kidney danger Doan’s
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Penty of Gainesville evidence of
their worth.
Mrs. A. J. Martin, 32 West Ave.,
Gainesville, says: “One of the fam
ily has a lot of bending to do and he
began to have kidney some time
ago. The first symptom was pain in
his back when he stooped or turned
quickly. He had trouble from his
kidneys and the kidney secretions
were discolored. He always com
plained of being tired. Doan’s
Kidney Pills were recommended to
him and he began using them. Two
boxes removed the attack and made
his kidneys normal.’’
A LATER STATEMENT.
On April 30, 1914, Mrs. Martin
said: “The statement I gave Doan’s
Kidney Pills some time ago still
holds good. The person who took
this remedy has been free from
kidney trouble for a long time.
Two others of the family have used
Doan’s Kidney Pills with good re
sults, and are willing to endorse
them.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy—get

All Approve Dodson’s Liver Tone as
the Safe Family Remedy for
Constipation and Lazy Liver.
There are most excellent reasons
for Dr. J. B. George standing back
of Dodson’s Liver Tone with an un
conditional guarantee to refund
purchase price (50c.) to you at once
without question in event of any dis
satisfaction.
Seven of America's very highest
priced physicians, who were con
sulted regarding Dodson’s Liver
Tone and who analyzed this vege
table liquid remedy carefully with
all their skill, knowledge and expe
rience, have all agreed on its supe
rior merit, harmlessness and effec
tiveness. Dodson’s takes the place
of dangerous calomel in constipa
tion. biliousness, sluggish liver, sick
headache, etc.
Each of these physicians’ fees was
heavy enough to stagger most men;
but their judgment is worth all it
cost, particularly if it will he the
means of leading more people to re
fuse to run dangerous risk by taking
calomel and other violent remedies.
Dodson’s Liver Tone not only re
lieves the suffererer from constipa
tion’ and kindred ills, but does it
easily and naturally, without ache,
pain or gripe, with no bad after
effects, without interfering with
usual duties and habits and abso
lutely without danger—which is one
reason it can carry an iron-clad
guarantee. It has proved a boon to
so many that it is recommended for
you to try at once.
