I sleep ivell enough at night, A nd ike blamcdest appetite Ever mortal man possessed." Riley's farmer is the very picture of a man advanced in 3Tears, yet in the enjoy ment of perfect health. A good appe tite, good digestion and sound sleep, are the clnei lactors in a vigorous old age. Life is sustained by food, when it is properly digested and assimilated. When digestion fails, there is a loss of nutrition which soon shows itself in physical weak ness, nervousness, sleeplessness, etc. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It strengthens the body in the only way possible, by enabling the as similation of the nutrition extracted from food. & Hi OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER. JOHN T. BKITT. OWNER AND EDITOR. THURSDAY. FEB. 5 1903.

It does in it matter whether the question Is how to cure tobacco, how to break a horse, or how to regulate the trusts the ability to take an In tellectual view of the thing you are trying to do and then to do It is what I call education. A blacksmith, a musician, a preacher and a farmer all require a different kind of educa tion to do their work successfully: but each is a citizen and takes a hand In the running of the government, and there iw a certain amount of ed ucation which all American citizens 1 I ought to possess in common. To begin with, every citizen should vote, and this, after 1U0S, will require a man to be able to read. To vote intelligently a man must be able to read now, and it is just as much every man's duty to vote intelligent ly now as it will be in 190S. If this government is to stand and the peo ple are to rule, In fact as well as in name, then the people must know, Individually and collectively, the sig nificance of the vote which they cast. The farmer's son must have more education than he had fifty years ago. Why? Uecause the invention of machinery lias thrown three out of every four farmers out of employ ment, and by actual count it is shown that of every four boys raised on the farm, three must seek a liveli hood in some other occupation. What are these boys going to do? Some of tbem have made Presidents of the United States, and thousands of them have acquired wealth in the trades and professions, for the his- Flrst What use is there for me to work when the trusts get all I make? and Second I am too old now to learn. On these two subjects I will have something to say latter. B. K. II. These Won't Pass. Some years ago when there was a notable miKcarringe of justice in this State an agitation was begun to have the law changed which gives the de fendant so much advantage in select ing a jury In a capital case. An earnest effort was made by the lay men but It failed, as was to have been expected, because the lawyers In the Ijegislature had the last pass at it and they killed it. In capital cases the defendant has 23 peremptory challenges in selecting a ju ry, while the State has only 4. This gives the defendant, with shrewd lawyers as counsel, an opportunity to select a jury favorable to him or one that can be controlled by his at- torne3rs. At the opening of the pres ent Legislature Mr. King, of Pitt, a layman and a newspaper editor, in troduced a bill to reduce the number of the defendant's challenges from 23 to 0. The judiciary committee, com posed entirely of lawyers, of course, was unanimously against the bill, A motion to reduce the number from 23 to 15 also failed, and the murderer will continue to have everything in his favor. Another bill introduced in the Ieg islature which ought to pass but which wont, makes public drunken ness a misdemeanor. The bill pro vides "that it shall be unlawful for or ne A omen but he Fashion's and Other Items of Interest. (X JL s MOTHERHOOD. The night throbs on, but let me pray, dear Lord !

At a church meeting several of the brethren made informal talks on the subject in hand a prominent Bible character. One of the speakers ex pressed the opinion, which Is pretty generally aceepted, that if a man amounts to anything in this world the credit is due to his mother; that whatever good there is in him is due to the mother's care, training and prayers. Thereupon Mr. Thos. C. Anderson got up and filed a protest. "I am here." said he, "to stand up for the man. A man who doesn't rule his own house Including his wife is no man at all. I've heard the man talked down so often that I am determined to say a word for him." These remarks should make the men warm to Mr. Anderson.

Nevertheless, three-fourths of the people are really made sick by the taste and smell of cod liver oil. Half of them can't take it. Their stomachs either reject it, or are so upset by it that the dose does more harm than good. Vinol is the only preparation of cod liver oil which contains no grease or bad taste yet does con tain all the virtue of cod liver oil, and is deliciously palatable. It also contains organic iron. Iron gives quality to the blood. Almost every ailing person needs it. the combination of these two elements with table wine is both scientific and accomplished right here in we are doing Is a new and scientific compound made from roots, herbs and barks contain neither opiates nor poisons, it purifies the blood and removes the causes of rheumatism and all blood diseases.

A thousand times have I heard old Dr. AIcGuire say: "Genius is hard work, well directed," and the ability to have one's work "well directed" constitutes education.
