Twelve Things to Remember
(The Manufacturers’ Record)
Men who have achieved greatly
in this world have kept steadily
before them fixed principles by
which they were guided. When
published these principles have
always been found impressive
and of universal usefulness and
application. Take, for example,
Marshall Field’s “twelve things
to remember,” viz:
“The Value of Time.”
“The Success of Perseverance”
“The Pleasure of Working.”
“The Dignity of Simplicity.”
“The Worth of Character.”
“The Power of Kindness.”
“The Influence of Example.”
“The Obligation of Duty.”
“The Wisdom of Economy.”
“The Virtue of Patience.”
“The Improvement of Talent. ”
“The Joy of Originating.”
Hon. J. W. Wise is to be con
gratulated that he will be return
ed to congress this year without
opposition. His friends and vo
ters generally believe he is enti
tled to a second term as an en
dorsement. It is the consensus
of publicly expressed opinion that
Judge Bartlett made a wise de
cision in refusing to run at this
time.
Every pint of whiskey a man
drinks shortens his life by eleven
hours, declares an eminent tem
perance lecturer, all of which
isn’t true. We can take a pencil
and show by figures that if every
pint of licker a certain fellow in
this county has consumed had
shortened his life eleven hours he
would have died nine and one
half years before he was born.—

Women’s Woes
Jackson Women Are Find
ing Relief at Last
It doos st'em that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and pains
that afflict humanity; they must
‘•keep up,’’must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
Stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills.
Keeping the kidneys well has spared
thousands of women much misery.
Read of a remedy for kidneys only
that is endorsed by people you know.
