New "Fountain of Youth"
SCIENCE now tells us that if Ponce le Leon had
eaten common foods containing- vitamin G he
wouldn't have crossed the uncharted seas in search of
the fountain of youth in Florida. Although specific
use of this vitamin has not been developed fully as
yet, its discoverer asserts that it promises "lengthened
youth for the human race."
Will not the adolescent in their eager pursuit of
maturity forego tomatoes, spinach, liver, yeast and
other essential foods containing the youth-preserving
and old-age-defying vitamin G? And will not men
and women who should be growing up gorge them
selves on these selfsame foods, thus depriving the
country of all maturity and making it a land of eter
nal youth?
Here is glorious news for those who desire eternal
youth, but it is likely to complicate rather than sim
plify one of the greatest problems of life that of
growing old.
Should this news get abroad, the old will act child
ish to escape the Spinach diet and spinsters will not
dare ask for vitamin G foods for fear of confessing
the advancing years.
Will science never learn to leave well enough
alone Here is a system that has endured through
the ages, and for all the complaints heard from both
young and old it has worked well. Science might im
prove upon nature but youth would still look wistful
ly forward and old age wistfully backward.
More men of standing would run for office if
politics wanted men who stood anywhere.
Things are so much better sonic householders have
moved the wolf out to the vacant half of the garage.
If he says the world will be ruined if it doesn't
adopt his plan, the plan usually is no better than the
prophecy.
Times are so much better, they say that some of
the extechnocrats have found jobs.
An Open Letter
John H. Thomas Replies to Charlie L. Blaine

June 18, RU
Air. Charlie Iitainc :
Regarding yours of the 11th. Af
ter so long I will draw my old
runty pen on you, the same in
I laid Uncle Brag Higdon in the
shade with poor fellow. It might
be well fur you to talk with lum
if you have an idea of repeating
your write-up.
Your three post cards and regis
tered letter acknowledged Card
No. 1 inviting Mrs. Thomas &
me up to see you, No. 2 asking
what date we could go up, No. .-
to please let you know date &
that you wanted to be at home it
talk to me about your campaign,
registered letter the 25th asking
me not to say anything about that
lumber scrape 1 defended you in &
the sheep you stole & set a feast
for friends which you thought that
I was the only one knew about it
Also you mentioned the $25.0(1 for
which you was due me for the
steer you ploughed the summer of
1900 & the meat & meal you bor
rowed to make your crop on &
that you would make all the above
o. k. & set me up to a nice check
if 1 would quit taking a stand
against you. But with a good
conscience I felt we very much
needed the best men for commis
sioners. As the most severe dog bite 1
ever had was one that seemed
very friendly in meeting me, then
dropped behind as I approached
the house.
Charlie, I am very much sur
prised at your entering the literary
field as you have, remembering when
you & I was in school. 1 suppose
you were 15 & would come in the
school room with black strap mol
lases all over your chin & one
suspender hanging down and the
school teacher trying to get yon

far h
interested in Geography, lie asked
you how lar you had ever been
beyond home & your reply was
miles to Frankjin, & he being ar
quainted with your mule told about
a sow he ranged on the Nantahalas
15 miles away which knew more
Geography than you did cause he
had traveled farther.
You would make goo poo ryes
at the u;iiTs & the teacher told yon
you were more interested in (iirl-
ology than Geography Kr made tin
statement that it would
enough for you to taki
ology at 21. '
Charlie you say that
wife-made farmer. Mrs.
a woman of ability but so
f .. :i -i . i i
i.ined io maKC you work at all,
last winter your boys cleared
a new ground near the house
you had done, nothing all spring
except sit upon the stumps until
your wife took her axe & shar
pened the stumps & put a stop to
your easy scats.
Yes you seem to have nn interest
in the county home & front what
I understand Mis. Blaine is plan
ning on putting you there soon.
Should I be so unfortunate as to
go there and find you already there
I shall ask the manager one spe
cial privilege that he give me a
separate apartment. If not granted
I shall rebel.
You speak of getting some local
painter to paint the organ
Would John I'.dwards be satis
tory or did he ever do any work
for you. Ask him about a box of
candy & how he paid me for it.
It looks as if what you accuse
me of is true, & your case being
facts which I defy you to deny,
that we both will have to hire a
lawyer in the wind-up.
Resp.,
Jon H. Thomas
Mrs. Jessie Martin of San Fran
cisco is happy because she has dis
covered the right, safe way to re
duce read her letter:
"I have taken Kruschen Salts a
month and find great benefit. I
have lost 14 lbs. in that time and
would lose more, if I stuck to a diet
as I should. I take them every
morning regular and hope others
will profit by them as I have."
We have letters from men and
women who have lost as much as
100 pounds of, fat from people
who have reduced high blood pres
sure from folks who have no more
bloating or shortness of breath.
Kruschen helps stomach, liver,
bowels to function properlyin
creases physical attractiveness all
while losing unhealthy fat. Just
take a half teaspoonful in a glass
of hot water every morning before
breakfast get it at druggists every
where, (adv.)
