f fieraM and Advertiser. 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. The Art of Talking Well. No Wedding Bell* for Him. If you quote a brilliant or clever re- Philadelphia Rerfow. .ark of another person’s always tell . “ N ° weddln ? bells for me, said a mark of another person’s alwayB of who said it. Do not wear Btolen jewels of conversation. They will but make your own paste look duller. Avoid saying the obvious thing which has been said by hundreds before you: “I cannot remember names, but I nev er forget a face. ’J, How many times do people make that remark as if it had never been said before, as if they were unique in that respect, whereas the re mark was probably made by Adam. "I don’t mind the cold, but it’s the dampness;” “It never rains but it pours;” “Every dog Bhould have his day;” "Which do you like better, Longfellow or Whittier?" "I think man and woman are each dependent on each other;” "If rich people are extrav agant^ it puts the money into circula tion,” is the style of conversation that will cause people to flee from your pres ence as they would the stagnant pool. Never turn your readiness of thought and speech to a hurtful use. Do not put a drop of poison in the cup of cold water you hand to the world. If you do, you will have to drink it yourself aome day. It is almost impossible in these days of universal torturefrom the laborprob- lem to observe tho old rule of not talk ing about your servants, but if you find yourself drifting in that direction lift yourself out of it. Throw it aside with some humorous point of view regarding it, and all men will call you blessed. Avoid all reference to your own pe culiarities of taste, manner or thought. If you have any marked idiosyncra sies all your friends know it, and nei ther your own defense or condemnation of your peculiarities will change the opinions of other people regarding them. Neither will your own opinion of them make them either more or less pleasing than they naturally are. If you are in a thoroughly healthy mental state, you will not be conscious of Having any pe culiarities, nor, indeed, will you have any. When you are in conversation with one person do not let your thoughts or gaze wander to aome more interesting person or group. There iB far too much of that form of rudeness. It is tho habit that marks the social climber; a fear lest he or she may not be getting the best of every thing. CAUSE FOR ALARM. Have you a weak thront? If so, you cannot be too careful.. You cannot be gin treatment too early. Ench cold makes you more liable to another, and the last is always the hardor to cure. If you will take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy at the outset you will ho saved much trouble. Sold by all dealers. 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. dimple Remedy for LaGrippe. LaGrippe coughs are dangerous, as they frequently develop into pneumonia.

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?” Steel Railway Ties. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is not a common, every-day cough mixture.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Don’t accept any substi tute. 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?” Rev. I. W. Williams Testifies. Rev. I. W. Williams, Huntington, W. Va., writes us as follows: “This is to certify that I used Foley’s Kidney Remedy for nervous exhaustion and kidney trouble and am free to say that Foley's Kidney Remedy will do all that you claim for it. Sold by all druggists, 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- you in curing yourself with S. S. S.
