Help? Nothing very serious the matter ? don't get. excited but your UK LI* is needed. Is y ory man, every woman and every child can HELP. This town needs your IIKLP. It is a good town, but every good citizen wants to see it become a better town. * But unless the good citizens stand bv tlie town, lend a luund, put a shoulder to the whoel or g-ot in front and pull, without balk ing, there won't bo any noticeable progross. Towns are uot Top-, sies. No town "jiut prows." it's tho peo ]?1?> in a town and an>timl it who make it jfl-nw by feeding it the right sort of diet. A pig in a poke \v<?n'i got fat. N or will a town with its light hidden under a bushel attract attention from outside. Vnlesu you throw corn into a lean shoat the animal never will be come a fat porker. It is just as necessary to feed a town and com munity with fresh material i rom the outsidr worhl. It is up to you and each of ih to got out ami forage for the town. Spoak a pood word for it. Write a good letter for it. To you the plac? where you live is the most impor tant place in the world. It is the best place in the world. It is the centor of the world. The .universe revolves around it. " . / This being so ? and you can't deny it ? why not HELP advertise the center of the universe? Why not tell your friends and acquaintances elsewhere what they are missing by living away from the real center i Talk has built up many a town ? every town, in fact. Talk can build up tViiA town.

Youth's Companion. PREVENTED TOOTHACHE. The Old Romans Did It by O'evourlng Two Rats a Month. If It be true that ancient remedies are always the best It may be of In terest to those atlllcted with dental troubles to know how the ancient Itomans dealt with nueb Ilia. Tbe Qui rifles recognized two types of treats ment. the magical and the medical. The following \are some of the preacrlp tlons advised by the magicians: . Take the liead of a dog that has died of rubles, mix the ash with oil of cyprus and tuject the product Into tbe ear of the affected aide. ' A water snake's vertebra will serve to scarify the gum provided that It be obtained from a white skinned snake, or for the same purpose may be used a lizard's frontal bone obtained when the moon Is full, or. If that fall, a chicken bone will 4jd?. provided that It be dried In a hole lu a wall and thrown' awuy immediately after used. It is good treatment to inject Into an aching ear oil of lemon In which have been macerated mallow bugs, even should this last give rise to itching. A worm fed on a particular herb or a cabbage cuterplllor ca inconveniently bo placed In a hollow tooth, but It la equally simple to cnew an adder's heart. ? 1 I'reveutlon being better than cure, a sovereign preventive will be found In the eating of two rats a month.? Lon don Hospital. Two Point# of View. Nice disc rim lnatlon would be re quired to decide which Is the pessi mist and which the optimist In the ap pended war reminiscence. During one of the battles of Mur freesboro a group of wounded men was ? huddled about a field hospital, waiting surgical attention, when a big brawny trooper, with a bullet in his left leg and another in his right arm. hobbled up, holding his wounded arm in his left band "Doc." he drawled, "the Johnnies came pretty near hitting ma" I Another fellow blowing blood copi ously from his nose, the point of which had been Bbot off, promptly Interposed: "Doctor, the rascals" ? sputter ? "came near"? another blow and sput ter? "missing me." Many Qeneratlons. The case of six generations living Is given by Tennyson thus: "Daughter, arise; thy daughter to her daughter tako whose daughter's daughter cri eth." George Hakewell In the seven teenth cqptury had Imagined on? descent more, for In his "Apologle" he writes that the mother said to her daughter, "Daughter, bid thy daugh ter tell her daughter that her daugh ter's daughter hath a daughter." a credible injunction in the case of a centenarian only. A Telesoope His Tomb. After Keeler had become head of the Lick observatory and died ther? and his ashes were brought back to Allegheny for burial it was his friend Hrashear who sealed them up In their last resting place, a hollow In the sup porting pillar of the thirty Inch re flector, which is Heeler's memorial.?

For i he sake of keeping up the styles, people live far above their income, harass themselves with debt, wear themselves - out; ? and" keep them selves in a constant nervous strain by giving fashionable dinners, fashionably entertaining and making fashionable calls. * * ?

Usually It Is applied to a ?young u.un ? Income or llnancial possessions. When this Is the case the standard used Is an unfortunate one. There Is not a more cruel standard by which to measure a young man than the position he Is able to offer the girl of his choice.

Little Mary must be kepi In pure white clothes all the sea son through, though neither the father'* purse nor the mother's btrength i? sufficient JLo provide the numberless changes necesaary. In stead of dressing th? child in sen sible frocks of blue flannel, sueh aw millionaire's children 'are not nub nmed to wear for play dresses, ev ory effort Is strained to reach this false Ideal of dress which the mo ther has set up for herself.

"What You Find Beneath the Surface" "Outside Appearance May Be Deceptive" "The Milburn Way" The prime essential of a good wagon is Tim- J ber, and the prime essentia! of good wagon timber is Correct Seasoning. The Milburn Wagon bears evidence on the suface of skillful workmanship and good material, culminating in a beautifully finished wagon, HOWEVER, you should have MORE conclusive EVIDENCE than this, you should KNOW of the painstaking selection of the MATERIAL of its scientific SEASONING and AGING, its careful TREATMENT before it goes to fulfill its proper place in a finished wagon. It is SERVICE that COUNTS. SERVICE to the WAGON USER has proven the wisdom of the "MILBURN WAY" of SEASONING wagon timber. * Let us show you what you find "Beneath the Surface" RHAME BROTHERS - CAMDEN, - S. C. . a 77**7
