v . . , r..- - -i The State Dispatch: v " ; . ? : v DON'T BE : A KNOCKER. Che American Printer. . . "If there is a chance to boom business boom it. Don't be a knocker. Don't pull a long face. Hope a bit" Get a smile on you. Hold up your head. 1 Get a hold with both -hands. Then pull. Bury your hatch et, Drop your tomahawk. Hide your little hammer. When a stranger drops in tell him this is the best town on earth. It is. Don't get mulish. Don't roast. Be jolly. Get popular. .It's dead easy. Help yourself along Push your friend with you. Soon you'll have a whole procession; . Be a good fellow. No man ever helped him self by knocking other people down. Noman ever gets rich trying to make people believe that he was the only good man on earth. You can't climb the ladder pt fame by step ping on other people's corns. All men are not alike. Once in a while you may find one who is very much alike. But some are different. You're not the only shirt in the wash. If you don't like their style let them alone. Don't knock. You'll get used to it, There's no end of fun minding your own business. And it makes other people like you better. Better have others get stuck on yourself. Nobody gets stuck on ' a knocker. Don't be one. Be good. Where Bullets Flew. David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a veteran of the civil war, who lost a foo at Gettysburg", says: "The good Electric Bitters have done is worth more than five hundred dol lars to me. I spent much mouey doctoring for a bad case of stomach trouble, to little purpose. I then tried Electric Bitters, and they cur ed me. I now take them as a tnic, and they keep 'me strong and well." 50c at Freeman Drug Store. Stop Swearing. "Washington Post. "Don't swear or you'll catch no fish " was the remark made the other day by a venerable inhabitant i to a much younger man wno . was emphasizing his talk by the use of some rather strong expletives. ,.No one was engaged in fishing at the time, nor was a piscatorial excurs ion being thought of. The sugges tion was made m the back room of cigar store, where three or four men were talking over current events, and the utterance made by the age citizen was intended as he afterwan said, to show his abhorrence of th nonsensical use of "cuss words.' Then he felt called upon to deliver a little homily to his -companions all of whom, like himself, are well known residents of Washington. "Men incur habits," he said, "that are really useless, and, in my opinion, swearing: is one of the worst of them. One can see why, in moments of passion or great ex citement, a person may indulge in swearing, but that some men, and I know several of them, should break out with a series of oaths in ordin ary everyday conversation strikes me as beyond reason. "I presume we have all met men who regard themselves and are so considered as gentlemen who rarely express a sentence without swearing. More than -that, they seem rather proud of their proficiency in this direction. I tell you that swearing is a habit that a little determination wiLl easily overcome." The sermon, coming from the lips of a man whose hair and long beard were as white as snow, had a good effect. The cigar merchant was so impressed that he declared he would hang up a sign in his back room which should read, "Gentle men are Requested Not to Swear on These Premises." Whether they allowed themselves the priyiledge of "cussing" elsewhere, he said, was no affair of his. Presidentelect Wm. H. Taft and family arrived at Augusta, Ga. Fri day, and are spending, the time at the home on the hill of Mr. and Mrs. Lando A. Thomas. Mr. Taft will leave Charleston January 25th, for his last trip to the Panama Canal before entering upon his duties as President. . : v:. r. - J: - Has Woman- Deteriorated? New York ';World. 'A Jit is after-dinner speech opinion of the Rev. I)r. Lea v ill that "mod ern influences have had a deteriora- I ting effect on woman" He has said so to the bocietv ot Colonial Wars at St. Louis. 'Few women of today' he be lieves, "would leave their homes, their friends and all the attracrions of life to follow their husbands'into a foreign laud, as did the woman of colonial days" ' But if the spirit of pioneering is to be the test, why continue the case to women? Do men abound in great numbers who would start off with cheerful alarcnty on the busi ness of penetrating uncharted wild erness and of battling with wild beasts and Indians for the' meager pleasure of clearing up a farm?' Is the average New York or Chicago or St. Louis man awaiting eagerly a call to yoke up the oxen and steer a prairie schooner across an unsurvey- ed continent? In the exceptional case a modern man does go explor ing as Peary seeks the pole. In the exceptionol case woman follows loyally a3 Mrs. Peary has loyally followed her aspiring husband. Measured by the standard ot her grandmothers it is possible that the modern woman shows signs of de terioration, but it would be difficult nevertheless to prove that she has deteriorated more than the modern man. Had a Close Call. Mrs. Ada L Croom, the widely known proprietor of the Croom Ho tel, Vaughn, Miss , bays: "For sev eral months I suffered with a severe couh, and consumption seemed to have its grip on me, when a friend recommended Dr. King's New Dis- covery. jl oegan tamng u, ana three bottles affected a complete cure." The fame of this life saving cough and cold remedy, and lung and throat healer is world wide. Sold at Freeman Drug Co. 50c and $1.00. Trial botile free. The peauut growers of Eastern Virginia are demandinga protective tariff to i-ave them from the injuries done their business by peanuts im ported from Japan and Spain. It seems like that, the Southern pro ducer is at last fast learning the im mortal lesson that a protective tariff is an absolute esential to make pay ing industries to American citizens. S6My Young Sister" writes Mrs. Mary Hudson, of Eastman, Miss., "tooK my advice, which was, to take Cardui. She was staying with me and was in terrible misery, but Car dui helped her at once. HI It WiU "Last spring," Mrs. Hudson continues, "I was in a rack of pain. The doctor did no good, so I began to take Cardui. The first dose helped me. Now I am in better health than in three years." .Every girl and woman needs Cardui, to cure irregularity, falling feelings, headache, backache and similar female troubles.
