Didn't Expect to Live In a letter to the Pinus laboratories, Mrs. G. O. Walker, of Walker, Lane Caunty, Oregan, writes: "I have been taking Fruitola and it has been a great relief. I suffered so with gall-stones my family and friends didn't expect me to live." Fruitola is a powerful intestinal lubricant and softens the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, expelling the congested waste in an easy, natural manner, to the sufferer's great relief. A single dose is usually sufficient to clearly indicate its efficacy. To build up and restore the weakened, run-down system, Traxo is highly recommended as a tonic-alterative that acts on the liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow of gastric juices to aid digestion and removes bile from the general circulation. Fruitola and Traxo are prepared in the Pinus laboratories at Monticello, III., and arrangements have been made to supply them through representative druggists. In Union they can be obtained at Milhous Drug Co. * I RUPTURE EXPERT IN CHESTER Well Known to Leading Physicians, Who ^ Indorse His Methods. W. B.

T LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, Jan. 4.?The olc year has gone, and is now numberec with the past, leaving its sweets anc bitters behind. Time, like humanity is going the way of all the earth Tifie, like water that is spilt on th< ground, cannot be gathered up again When the night's darkness shall covei this land that is pleasing with plenty The dear old year, 1915, has passec forever. To some its punishment maj have been great; to others its blessings may have been overwhelming. We admit the world is a strange affair, but it is largely what we make it Our deeds are our own doomsmen. We are our own fates and let us all as we go forth this year stop and listen to | the tapping on the window pane oi 1 reason and common sense and see il ? the still small voice does not say the best results will come to us all if our j actions are governed by high motives. iviy dear friends, my thoughts go back to my boyhood days and in imagination I go over again those days and it seems as if it was yesterday that I played as a boy. I can view the old home and then again the thoughts come to me of the family circle when all at one time sit around the old hearthstone. I remember the little stocking I hung up for Santa Claus. I can now see the changes that time has brought about. There is another home and in that home we see the Vacant chairs, for the family circle has been broken. Oh, sometime, the sad thoughts come to me, and then again I take on more courage and wish I was a boy again. As I think of happy boyhood days when I had no responsibility resting on me, but in after years when I came to be a man I will say it came and now I can tell ~ others just how I feel. I am writing my thoughts and feeling now and will in my next letter give you some news of my going around. Wishing all a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Moxy. NEW HOPE" New Hope, Jan. 4.?The holdiays passed off very quietly in our community and now the new year, 1916, is with us. The year of 1915 is to a close. One by one its sands have been dropping from the great hour glass of time, from which other years, decades. There have been lots of changes that have taken place in this world of ours within this short year of 1915. Who can number or call them back again? Who can count the sad tears that have been shed? No one can tell what is in store for hs in the coming year? But let what may come may we be pre parea ior ail that may appear to us as we journey on through life. May we profit from the lessons of the year that has past and if life pe spared us may we be better prepared to enter upon the new one now yo do better than we did in 1915.

S> "Here's a cork that's so tight in this bottle of catsup," complained Ruth's sister, "that I don'-t suppose ? I can get it out anyway, so I will & just have to push it in." ^ "Let me see if I can't loosen it," k said Ruth. * So she took two large safety pins ? and stuck them diagonally -through e the cork, opposite each other. Upon ie pulling upon the upper part of the two pins, the cork responded, and was finally drawn out whole. O "Well, I never saw your equal for ingenuity!" exclaimed Ruth's sister admiringly. 18 .
