MEWNAN, FRIDAY, JAN. 7.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
A Sure Cure for Crow’i Feet.
"Be Bunny” has grown to be aome
thing of a catchword, but it is a pretty
good all-round motto for every-day life
aa well. The cook may have gone away
in a temper on tho very day of your
dinner party—it’s a way cooks have
or the dressmaker may have failed to
send home your new frock in time for
Mrs. So-and-So'a reception, but frowns
and tears and grumbling will not help
matters in either case.
It may be that the world contains
other cooks, or even that the same one
may be induced to return in time to
save the day. And if not, why not
pitch right in and do the best you c
yourself with the best grace you can
muster? If your dinner does not turn
out quite as you would like, just make
a joke of the whole affair and let your
guests laugh with you. Bless you,
they, too, have troubles of their own,
and they will relish almost any Bort of
a repast that is served with laughter
sauce.
And as for the dress that did not
come, why just do without it cheerful
ly. You have other frocks, possibly,
and if you furbish one of them up a bit
and wear it with your lightest heart
and your gladdest smile, people will
simply wonder why they never knew
before how pretty you are and how
tastefully you dress. That is, the peo
ple who count for anything. And as
for the others, who cares about what
they think, anyway?
There are recipes by the score for
eradicating wrinkles and keeping crows’
feet at bay; but a cheerful mind dis
counts all of them. It isn’t easy to bo
cheerful when things go wrong, you
say. No, but it doesn’t help and to be
grumpy, does it? Then, in the expres
sive slang of the day, "forget it.”
' Cheerfulness is a habit, just as much
as worrying—only it is a good deal
pleasanter for yourself and everybody
else.. Get the habit, then, and the first
thing you know the worrios will have
taken flight. In a cheerful atmosphere
they find themselves so distinctly "out
of it” that they prefer to make them
selves scarce. Therefore, be cheerful.
It may cost you something at first, but
it will pay in the end.
How to manage it? Look out instead
of in. You ore not the only human
creature who has troubles. Every wo
man has them and most men—so you
cannot lay claim to exclusiveness along
this line. But the world is a pretty
good world on the whole, and you will
enjoy it more than you do now when
you begin to look out on it with un
clouded eyes.
Leave the house or the office or the
school-room behind you once in a while
and take a breathing Bpell out in the
open. And when you do go out, do not
always go shopping. Don’t bother with
bargain days unless you really want
something that you can't buy any other
time. And even at the bargain counter
be' gunny. It may seem difficult, but it
isn’t nearly as difficult bb it seems if
you only start trying it.

Those Good Resolutions.
Saturday Kvenlna Post.
If we were to recommend a resolution
to the young person it would be to quit
swindling himself. He may neither
drink nor smoke, yet may loiter over
his work and idle away his evenings.
He knows it isn’t exactly right; knows
he wastes too much time, and, in gen
eral, carries only a hundred poundB of
steam when he should carry two hun
dred. He thinks he’ll buckle up and
give a better account of himself—some
time. Aa a matter of fact, there is no
some time.
The average life of a New Yorker’s
resolution is about a fortnight—because
the man who puts off reforming to
some date in the future hasn’t really
made up his mind that he want* to re
form. He is beset by a harassing sus
picion that, after all, there may be
more lining left to his stomach than
the doctors say. He’ll take a chance,
anyway, of its lasting to 12 o’clock
of Dec. 81. Ho wants some further
space of self-indulgence and self-waste.
Reformation he merely dallies with,
xsther reluctantly. After .New Year’B
he puts it off to Easter. And even
when he passes this counterfeit money
upon himself he knows well enough
that it is counterfeit.
The fatuity of far-off resolutions
does not extend to alcohol and nicotine,
poker and pool-rooms, laziness and glut
tony. They operate with uniform rigor
every day in the year. The only time
to reform iB now.

downtown bachelor, "not on your tin
type. I have two bosom friends. We
all graduated from college together a
few years back, and we have stuck to
gether pretty much ever since. We
three boys had a jolly time together,
and then George got married. That was
four years ago. It wasn’t long after
that before Ned fell for some girl, too,
and left mo alone. Of course, ever
since then I have visited both George
and Ned at their happy homes, and I
have made it an annual custom to eat
my Christmas dinner at George’s and
my New Year’s dinner at Ned’s. This
year it was as usual. I blew into
George’s at the proper time on Christ
mas afternoon, dressed my prettiest
and with nice little gifts for George,
his wife, and their 2-year-old baby.
Well, say that kid was the limit. There
wasn’t anything but kid all afternoon.
‘Uncle Billy’—that’s me, you know-
had to be horsey for baby and play
choo-choo cars and be mauled all over
the floor. That doesn’t help a $60 suit,
you know. And baby with his candy-
sticked hands didn’t do a thing to ‘Un
cle Billy’s’ immaculate new silk vest.
Honest, I had to call off a date I had
for that evening, so battered an ap
pearance did I present after exchang
ing the compliments of the season with
George’s baby. Well, that isn’t all.
The worst is yet to come. With a week
to recuperate I was in shape to go to
Ned’s for New Year’s, and I felt I
was safe to wear my gladdest rags there
because Ned has no children. So when
I walked into Ned’s house I was at my
best. Honest, now, who else do you
think was eating this New Year’s din
ner with us? Why, two dirty-looking
French poodles. Mrs. Ned had the dog
bug and had two high chairs made for
the two purps, and there I sat along
side of a French poodle, sharing my
turkey and getting my hands slobbered
on when I wasn’t looking. Now can
you blame me for remaining a bache
lor?”

Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptoms That Should
Not bo Disregarded.
Appetite is just a natural desire of
the system for food necessary to re
place natural body waste. Lass of ap
petite or stomach distress after eating
indicates indigestion or dyspepsia. Over
eating is a habit very dangerous to a
person’s good general health, and in
satiable appetite is a common symptom
of diabetes.
It is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
gaod, Some of the strongest, heaviest
and healthiest persons are moderate
e.iters.
There is nothing that will create sic k-
ness or cause more trouble than a dis
ordered stomach, and many people
daily contract serious maladies simply
through disregard or abuse of the stom
ach.
We urge every one suffering from
any Btomach derangement, indigestion
or dyspepsia, whether acute or chronic,
to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with
the distinct understanding that we will
refund their money without question or
formality, if after reasonable use of
this medicine they are not satisfied with
the results. We recommend them to
our customers every day, and have yet
to hear of any one who has not been
benefited by them.
We honestly believe Rexall Dyspep
sia Tablets to be without an equal. They
are made from the prescription of a
physician who devoted his time to the
study and treatment of stomach trou
bles. They give very prompt relief,
stimulating the secretion of gastric
juices, strengthen the digestive organs,
aid to good digestion and assimilation,
regulate the bowels, and promote nu
trition.
We urge you to try a 25-cent box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which give
15 days' treatment. At the end of that
time your money will be returned to
you if you are not satisfied. Of course,
in chronic cases length of treatment
varies. For such cases we have two
larger Bizes, which sell for 60 cents and
$1.00. Remember you can obtain Rex

Baltimore Sun. ,
President Corey, of the United States
Steel Corporation, invites the various
railway companies of this country to
consider the facts he has to submit in
regard to substitution of steel for wood
en ties. For many years experiments
have been made with steel ties, in view
of the growing scarcity and cost of
wooden ties, and several fairly satis
factory forms have been devised. In
Europe steel ties are, in fact, in rather
extensive use, but our cheaply construct
ed railways have till recently found the
wooden ties more in keeping with their
general scheme of capitalization than
steel would be. They have sought by
various processes of treatment to pre-
ventfthe decay of wooden ties and pro
long their life. The increased cost of
wood, however, begins to make the
substitution of steel economical. By
the end of this year, Mr. Corey states,
the Lake Erie Railroad Company will
have 42 miles of track laid with 105,000
steel ties, weighing 9,660 tons. Track
thus laid in 1904 has so far given satis
factory results. Ten other companies
have laid experimental lots, so that ma
terial for forming an opinion upon the
utility of steel ties under the American
conditions begins to be available. The
adoption of such ties involves a study
of engineering features, with questions
of cost of installation and maintenance.
The steel company offers to supply the
railways with the data required, ex
pecting to convince them that the use
of steel ties will be as profitable to the
railways as to the steel-makers. Mr.
Corey predicts that the use of steel ties
will be the next great innovation in
American railway practice, with the
result of prolonging the existence of
our forests and at the same time im
mensely expanding the mining and me
tallurgical industries.
The busiest and mightiest little thing
that ever was made is Chamberlain’s
Stomach and Liver Tablets. They do
the work whenever you require their
aid. These tablets change weakness
into strength, listlessness into energy,
gloominess into joyousness. Their ac
tion is so gentle one doesn’t realize they
have taken a purgative. Sold by all

Had Better Ask Him.
Now York Sun.
Gresham P. Lyons, of San Francisco,
discussed in New York the other day
the movement for the protection of
witnesses in law courts that he has re-
aently inaugurated.
“We know,” said Mr. Lyons, “how
witnesses are browbeaten and insulted
by lawyers the country over. Well, I
want to see them protected from such
damnable treatment. If my movement
succeeds a cross-examining lawyer will
no more think of insulting a respecta
ble witness than of insulting the
judge.”
Mr. Lyons smiled.
“But I saw one of those contempti
ble and ihsolent lawyers worsted the
other day—by a boy, too.
“The lawyer, after trying in vain to
shake the boy’s evidence by fair means,
resorted to foul ones—proceeded to en
rage and shame the lad, hoping to con
fuse h m into contradictory statements.
“ ‘Now, son,’ he said, ‘I want to ask
you about your father. ’
“ ‘Yes, sir,’ said the boy.
“ ‘Haven’t certain damaging reports
been circulated about your father late
ly?’
“ ‘I dunno what reports you mean.’
“ ‘Isn’t there a report current to the
effect that your father beats his wife
and robs hen roosts?'
“ ‘So you say,’ the boy muttered,
sullenly.
" ‘So I say,' shouted the lawyer,
‘and now I ask you if that report isn't
true? Come, speak up! Don’t stand
there like a mummy! Is it not true that
your father beats his wife and steals
chickens?’
“ ‘I dunno,’ said the boy.' ‘You’d
better ask him. He's sittin’ over there
on the jury.’ ”
In Washington, Ga., the first town
in America named for the Father of
His Country, lived General Robert
Toombs, one of the brilliant lights of
hospitality in a country where social
instinct is second to nature.
A committee once waited on General
Toombs to consult him about erecting a
hotel in the town.
“We have no need for one,” said
Gen. Toombs, simply. “When respect
able people come here they can stay at
my house. If they are not respectable
we do noj want them at alt.

It is a pretty story which surrounds
the betrothal of the present Czar Nich
olas and the Czarina, for, although the
great question had been planned and
thought out for them by their respec
tive parents, they were both determin
ed to have a say in the matter.
That they wbre in love with each oth
er everyone knew, and between them
selves a mutual understanding had been
arrived at in the summer house of York
cottage; but as Czarowitz, the future
Czar had to make the formal and old-
fashioned offer of his hand.
"The Emperor, my father,” he said
addressing the blushing bride-to-be,
“haB commanded me to make you the
offer of my hand and heart.”
“My grandmother, the Queen,” re
plied the present Czarina, “has com
manded me to accept the offer of your
hand,”—she broke into a rippling laugh
— "and your heart I take of my own
free will.”
What breaks a bride’s heart over her
bridegroom is when they have to be
come sane.
Five young men went into a shop re
cently to buy a hat each. Seeing they
were in a joking mood, the shopkeeper
said:
“Are you married?”
They each said “Yes.”
“Then I’ll give a hat to the one who
can truthfully say he has not kissed
any other woman than his own wife
since he was married.”
'Hand over that hat,” said one of
the party. “I’ve won it.”
“When were you married?”
“Yesterday,” was the reply, and the
hat was handed over.
One of the others was laughing heart
ily while telling his wife the joke, but
suddenly pulled up when she said:
“I say, John, how was it you didn’t
bring one?”

A lady took her 4-year-old son to the
family dentist to have his teeth attend
ed to. The dentist found a small cavi
ty, so the lady seated herself in the
chair, took Master Tom on her lap, and
the operation began. The burr had no
sooner touched the tooth than the child
began to scream. At the end of fifteen
minutes when the mother released her
hold upon the child, she was deathly
pale, while the dentist wiped great
beads of perspiration from his brow,
Tom, however, fairly swaggered across
the room.
“That didn’t hurt,” he boasted with
a broad smile.
‘Then, why did you scream so?”
cried the exasperated mother.
‘Because I was afraid it was going
to,” explained Tom.
CURES
• MALARIA
Malaria is a species of blood poverty known as anae
mia. It is a condition in which the circulation is so
weak and impure that it is unable to supply the system
with sufficient nourishment and strength to preserve
ordinary health.
The medical profession is divided in opinion as
to the manner in which malarial poison gets into the
blood. Some take the position that it is an atmospheric
loison, the specific germs of which are breathed into the
ungs and thus transmitted to the circulation. Others
advance the opinion that persons become inoculated with
the poison through the bites of mosquitos. All however
agree that MALARIA is a blood affection, and any treat
ment to successfully overcome it must not only purify
this vital fluid, but at the same time add the necessary
qualities of richness and strength to the circulation.
The malarial poison destroys large numbers of the rich, red corpuscles
of the circulation, and the peculiar paleness of anaemic persons is due to this
fact. In the first stages of Malaria there
is a bilious condition of the system,
constant bodily weakness, poor appe
tite, and a “no accouut, ” tired feeling,
S. S. S. searches out and destroys
every particle of malarial infection and
builds the blood up to a healthy, nour
ishing condition. Then the system re
ceives its required nutriment, the bright
red corpuscles begin to multiply in the
circulation, snllow complexions grow
ruddy and flushed with health, the liver
and digestion are righted, the appetite
improved, and the system vitalized and
refreshed in every way. S.S.S. is a safe
and pleasant remedy as well as an effi
cient one. If you have Malaria we will
be glad to have you write us describing
the case. We will send free our book on the blood and at the same time our
physicians will give you some medical advice that will be of great service to-
