Welcome Words to Women : ?
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
t ex should write to Dr. Pierce and revive free the
ad vice ot a physician of over 40 years' experience
- a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort lias the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully to Dr. Piercer what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
s pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
Vuhout "an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that"
. these distasteful
less, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them.
Dr. Pierce's treatment wi!l cure you right in the privacy of
your own home. His Favorite Prescription" has cared
hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases. " "
.the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated
physician. ' The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its every
ingredient on its outside wrapper. There's no secrecy. It will bear examina
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it. Don't trifle
with your health. Write to World's Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R.

THE
HANDICAP OF
HAPPINESS.
UN-
Success.
.' The normal mind alone is the hap
py one. The most effective mind
must always be the happiest, because
there is every indication in the hu
man economy that man was intended
to be happy, that this is his normal
condition. It is true that wonderful
things have been accomplished by
people in poor health, and by those
who were greatly depressed becaa?e
of; marital londelity. or who were
misunderstood and denounced, by
those who should hve bad faith in
them. Great inveutors and discov
erers hav;r often been unhappy, have
often gone through great suffering
for years because nobody believed iu
them and their own families de
nounced " them. We know, also,
that the tremendous struggle to re
deem themselves from ridicule or
from the contempt of tneir fellow
men has urged some people to tre
mendous efforts which resulted in
achieving wonders.
There is no denying the fact, how
ever, mat unnappiness is always a
handicap, because it is an abnormal
condition. . .A . complicated machine
m3y do wonderful things, even with
sand grinding out its delicate bear
ings, or without being lubricated,
but the same machinery would do
very much better work and would
last longer if it were kept in perfect
condition and its bearings well oiled.
Man vas made to be happy. The
desire for fun, for amusement, for
humor, is very strong in every nor
mal peison. Man is a laughing ani
mal. If he is not - tiappy there is
something grinding on the delicate
bearings of his mental machinery. If
we had not inherited, through" a long
line of ancestors, morbid moods, se
rious, sad mental attitudes, some of
which have been induced by gloomy,
morbid religious training, we should
lie h; finitely happier than we are to-?
da . . The very living of life would
be a constant joy, a perpetual tonic.

ANS0NVILLE PUPIL
- REPLIES TO 1IARY".
Ansonville, N. C,
February 26tb, 1910.
Editor Messenger & Intelligencer.
I may not be as young as Mary of
Wadesboro or Lileaville district, but
lam young enough to go to school in
what she intimates is the most un
sightly school house in the county,
and I am not a girl, but I am just as
much interested in this DeLaval
Contest you have gotten up as Mary
or any pupil in the county. - It means
more to the county than anything
that has been done for the farmers.
Twelve cents a pound more tor butter
than we get now means that every
good farmer ia the county will have
two or more good Jersey cows. The y
will make better butter for their own
family, and some to send to the cities
to sell. I was told, by a man who
knows, that good butter i3 selling in
the cities at forty-five to fifty cents a
pound retail, and that it is shipped
from New York, the North and
Western states. I am sure this agi
tation you are getting up will do
more to call the attention of our peo
ple to butter making than anything
that has been done or can be done.
As to the school question: I am
glad you have worked the schools in
to this movement so as to help them.
But what I started out to say was
that the communications of Mary,
that you have been publishing for
several weeks, have been misleading
to say the least. My ; impression Is
that Mary attends the Lilesville
school, and there is no one else who
can say ought against that place.
They have done more according to
their population and wealth than any
other people in Anson op to this time.
But recollect, Mary, this school spirit
only , dates back a year or two. Recol
lect there is almost two months yet
before this contest cIosfs, and ' the
wealthy men in and around Anson
ville, and some who are not wealthy
may show you that it is cot always
the leading horse at the start of a race
that comes out first io the end.
You have good people to help you,
and when Mr. L. offered to igive you
One Hundred Dollars for the separa
tor if you won it, no doubt you all
felt like working very hard. But we
have some men who use, in spelling
their names, S., L., D., R.t W., etc.
Wa have.no.tpproached them, but
singly or collectively I believe they
will be willing to say to us school
pupils of Ansonville, "You pitch in
and win the separator and we will
buy it from you for Two Hundred
Dollars, so that you can have all the
swings ana see-saws you want."
Mary, you may have to come in for
second prize, taking the Canning Out
fit. You forget, Mary, that Major
Smith of our place had lor years a
school conducted at bis own expense.
rhe Major is here yet, and he never
fails to do his part in any good work
when approached in the right spirit.
The fact is, Mary, none of us in the
larger school districts have much to
brag on yet; some of the way back
country schools are liable to come in
at the twelfth ht)ur and take the lau
rels from us. You know a schocl of
five or ten pupils has just as good a
chance to win as a larger school like
Morven, Lilesville, Ansonville, Mc-
Farlan, Cedar Hill, Polkton, Peach-
land and two or three others. The
back schools are fewer in number and
can work together to better advantage.
Mary, this school house of yours is
not a very old building; in fact, 1 do
not think it is finished. It is so new
that the grounds have not been clear
ed of the shavings and laid out for the
beautiful hedges and flowers that your
people arp to put out. And before
you have finished up you may come
up to Ansonville on the Southbound
via Wadesboro and take lessons from
our school surroundings, for our peo
ple have the spirit of progress, and
we are not going to allow any other
children to sit up or stand up and
crow over having obtained the great
Ht number of subscribers, and one to
me, Mary, yuu will not carry to Liles-
viue that One Hundred Dollars from
Mr. ij. 1 suppofe that "L." means
Mr. h,d. Lues, but no matter, Maiy.
x ou say your people are going to fur
uish your school with money to put
up all the playthings that can be
bought with the One Hundred Dol
lars, even if you do not get the Bepa
rator. i'il stand good for the meu in
and around Ansonville tbatthey will
give us Two Hundred Dollars for the
separator if we work hard to win it;
aua it we do not, they will give us
Two Hundred Dollars to make our
school surroundings beautiful and at
tractive.
Mr. Editor, I trust you will pub
lish this from

A New Way To Swear Off Tun.
The beat way of uot prying taxes
on your personal property is to swear
them ofl. By "swearing off" is
iiieant going to the tax assessor and
making a deposition that you really
tlon't live where you seem to live,
that you really dou't own what you
seem to own and that while you ap
pear to be a very rich man, you are
really over-burdened by debts which
you have hitherto successfully con
cealed. Since personal taxes began,
ro many ways of swearing off have
been invented that the tax authori
ties had come to believe that there
was no new tax dodge under the sun.
But the tax authorities were mis
taken. A few days ago a man came
to the New York tax commiasioners
and asked to be relieved of his per
sonal taxes. "1 have only $5,000."
he said, "and that money is in city
bonds and i being held in trust."
"For whom?" asked the tax com
missioner.
Tbe question was unexpected and
at first there was no answer, but the
tax commissioner iusisted. Finally
in a stage whisper, the swearer-off
explained.
"The money Is held in trust dur
ing his life-time for my dog."
