How much does your drinking water
cost you? Nothing? 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.
We ar^ glad to see that so many of
the newspapers of the State feel as
does The People in regard to the pro
posed ten-mill tax levy.. The Green

enough money t* being sent ttf Uoluni^

UST a ward to the HEW LTWEDS. Dear friends, we don’t want to
PREACH to yon, bnt we do wish to say SIMPLY and EMPHAT-
ICALLJ: “BEGIN SAVING FOR YOUR HOKE NOW!” It’a -
" not EASY, we know. 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.

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.

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.

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?

f want to tell you what wonderful benefiT I have
ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,”
\Mrs. Sylvania Woods! of Clifton Mills, Ky.
;, It certainly has \io eqJn for la grippe, bad colds, 1
liver and stomach trouMes. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl's ilife. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, put one good dose iof Thed'ord’s
BlacfrDraught nrade“ttim breafc' OUf, and She “flag Had no

No, there is no selfishness about
