Well, drink ' mow of it lire longer..JDrtok,a lot more and live longer still. Plen ty of pure water is good for the diges tion. It is better than anything you can take, for it is one of nature’s own remedies. Here’s the proof. Stop the* first ten men you meet and ask each one of them how much. water , he drinks each day. Some will drink blit little, and before you leave them they ii probably make some n remark about their stomach. Ami they will keep on making those re marks ' until they die—-unless they drink more water. Others will tell you that they drink large quantities ♦verf-dayr *md won’t ~ eveir~inentftnr their stomachs. Of course not, for there is no occasion. Water has done its work and the digestion is in per fect working order. Drink more wa ter. You will live longer and die hap pier. Your doctor will tell you so, for HE DRINKS WATER.

The first years of your new life require most of. ich perhaps.does not come, to.job as plentifully as. if will later. Bnt dare NOW.. DON’T WAIT. It’U make you HAPPYT Give your child a nickel occasionally. It won’t break you, and it will give the child its first lessons in the art of handling money. But most important of all, teach it to save two cents of every nickel you give it. That will teach it thrift and the art *f saving. Let it take its pennies out and count them over. Every time it couols them it will wanl to add a few more .to the pile. That will inculcate the art of accumulation. But don’t let it depend on what you GIVE it. It should be taught to EARN money, and the first lessson should go with the first nickel. That will demonstrate the necessity and increase its capacity for work. And in after years, when success has crowned its efforts, it will look back over the lapse of time and tell others that it had the best father and mother that God ever permitted to live. y- —0—■ . It will soon be time to “clean up and paint up.” And while we are about it let’s clean up, paint up, and stay up. To spend a few hours and a few dollars on your yard and property this spring and then forget all about it for the next five or six years to come is t)te poorest kind of economy. It is even a.first class extravagance. . f( i the moment a piece of propor: r becomes “rusty” deterioration rapidly sets in and rushes right on to destruc tion. A few dollars and a little labor in periodical improvements is the best interest you can get on your in vestment. And what is good for you is equally good for the town, the eoun ty, and the State. —o — Have you ever wondered what the result would be if the people of this .town thought and said nothing but good of each other for thirty or six ty days? Think! It would work a revolution in both mind and hotly. Peo ple who are constantly nagging would have lost the habit. The best that is in each one would, have unconseichisly forced its way to the fore, and nobili- v ty of character would have made rapid- strides toward supplanting the igno ble and vicious in man and woman kind. Our town might not be a Gar den of Eden, but it would come nearer to it than any other spot on earth. And it wouldn't cost you a penny. •’ —o— Young girls should get their * “bloom” in the open air instead of at the drug counter. It looks better, lasts longer, and is more pleasing to the masculine mind and eye. The drug man will never get rich from the sale of “bloom.” He is a man of sense and discernment, or he would not be a druggist, and he would rather see one rosy cheek tinted with the bloom of nature than to sell a barrel of the artificial article. Just get your drug gist wound up oh this subject some . day and see what a world of good com mon sense advice he will give you, for he thinks even more of you than he does of the sale of his “bloom.* pie and a lower death rate. Is it worth, thirty minutes a week? Who says there are nn wig* pghjflA in this,world ? Every time wa get off one of our stock-jokes aur wife laughs -and then taps our pocketl&ook.
