OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER. FRIDAY, MAY 26, 191 1. AID FOR THE AGED The tottering feebleness of old age Is pitiful, and is caused by the fact that the fires of life are burning very low. Yet many people of eighty are more vigorous than those twenty years younger, because they know how to keep up their strength. We can truthfully call Vinol a staff of strength for the aged because it gives them new strength, makes the Wood richer and cause's it to circu late more freely. Vinol is our deli cious cod liver and iron tonic that even the old and feeble can take with the greatest pleasure and benefit. Mrs. H. W. Avery, Norwich, N. Y., Bays when she was 89 she took Vinol and found it brought her strength and vigor. It is good for the weak and run-down of all ages. We sell quanti ties of it and always say, "If Vinol does not please you, we give back your money." We make this offer be cause we know by observation how much ood Vinol does. Hamilton Drug Co., Oxford, X. C STAGE NEEDS MORE WRITERS- Daniel Frohman Calls Attention to Avantages of the Theater. From the New York Tribune. Daniel Frohman issued what most persons not closely connected with the theater would consider a rash invitation. It was sufficiently bold to make the guests of the Ameri ican Booksellers' Association at their eleventh annual dinner in the Hotel Astor look startled.and it would seem as though the men so intimately connected with the pub lishing business would know some thing of the literary wants of the theater. " "What the theater needs today is more writers," said Mr. Frohman. "It needs more authors men with new ideas. Literature is not always drama, but drama can be literature. We do not need plays for posterity, but plays for the present. "I want to draw the attention of writers of books to the advantages that await them in my profession the theater. Why; not duoble the Books are always a good asset in assets and divide the profits?" Before issuing this gaaerous invi tation for the deluge Mr. Frohman had said that while he was the author of one book, he thought his best claim to being a guest at the dinner was that he was responsible for the entrance into literature of that "'luminous gem in American fiction, Laura" Jean Libbey, the fa mous, voluminous mistress of heart throbs." Miss Libbey, said Mr. Frohman, came to him twenty years ago and submitted some of her , manuscripts at the same time telling him that she preferred to express the wild yearniDgs of her struggling nature on the stage. After , reading the manuscript, Mr. Frohman said, he advised her to stick to literautre, and he took to nimseii tne creaii qf thus enriching American ,. fiction with those " lurid depictinons of the1 pulsating heart of the factory girl. 5:.

Phillips Oppenheim,the English novelist,gave his testimonial to the American ad vertising writer, who, he said, pro auced the most vivid and pictures que examples of English prose writ ten today. Mr. ' Oppenheim said that he was a great admirer and reader of the American magazines, especially the advertising part- Com ing over on the ship he had been much interested in an advertisement that asked him why he should not be a Taft a Roosevelt, or a Bryan. He did not think he wanted to be a Taft. He was afraid the clothes would not fit, and he mnght have to have his golf handicap lowered. He had only seen Mr. Bryan once, and that was soon after an election, when Mr. Bryan did not seem partic ularly happy. Roosevelt that was a proposition that seemed perfect ly reasonable. So he read on through the advertisement, only to discover that he could learn oratory in twelve lessons at $12 for the course. After that he became fear ful that the advertisers might pro duce the opportunity for any one to become a popular novelist at half the price. In Washington. From the Cleveland Palin Dealer Bang!!

Opportunity for Washington Corpo rations to Show Bigness and Broadness. From the Washington Times. The man who reasons that the city of Washington ought to be the best governed community in Amer ice is not far away in his logic. Let's see how he would come out when he tried to square reason to facts. There are now before the Con gress of the United- States, the responsible governing body for the city of Washington, bills which include: The establishing of universal, in terchangeable transfers on Washing ton street car lines. The investigation of the rates and service of the Chesapeake Telephone Company. And demanded by the people, and ultimately sure to be the subject of congressional action if no oth er means or regulation be provided, are: Equitable prices for gas in Wash ington and Georgetown- The providing of a proper number of the modern type of summer street cars. -" The appraisal of properties of public service corporations, and the regulation of profits on the basis of a proper return on capital actually invested. Are these questions likely to be handled as well under methods now operating in the District as if they were up for consideration in New York, or New Jersey, or Wisconsin or even just across the line of the bordering State of Maryland? The answer is unquestionably"No," and the question which logically fol lows is "Why?" And experience in New York and New Jersey and Wisconsin and Maryland furnishes the reason when it points to the existence in those ies of public service commissions. Commissions clothed with the pow er to investigate, with the author ity to judge, with the right to rule, and with the power to enforce obe dience. Every one of the questions now before Congress or likely to come before it affecting in any way the conduct and future of any public service corporation in Washington could be more effectively dealt with and more equitably settled as regards both the corporations and their patrons by a public servic commission than by the ever-varying committees of investigation which bear little if any relation to each other in make-up or intents. What Washington needs is a commission clothed with proper au thority, and permanent in charac ter, whose investigations would be correlated so that the ramifications of investments in the District could be understood and made - plain. The right men with the right pow ers would repeat the successful regv ulation of corporations which has followed in the wake of public ser vice commission wherever they have been properly constituted. ..;,; And now' the logical question is, Why does- not Washington brfi such a commission And the answer, plain to those who watch the doings of Congress, is that the corporations "have up to this time opposed it Guided by a spirit of arrogance, a spirit which by the way the best managed corporations are first con cluding is unprofitable, dominated by a fear that no body f like ly to be appointed would be honest enough to give a corporation justice, the local corporations have, by de vious means, temporarily postponed the creation of such a body for the city of Washington. It would be more profitable for the. corporations, it would be more satisfactory for the public, if, in the place of authorizing and ap pointing this and that committee of investigation, Congress were to leg islate into existence the form of control which has already proven its efficiency. Congress will authorize such a commission and confer on it the proper powers if the corporations will withdraw their opposition. The opportunity exists for them to avoid the annoyance and expenses of present methods and at the same time establish themselves in the confidence of the public which sup ports them. Why not be big enough and broad enough to do it? CERTAIN RESUliTS . Many a Oxford Citizen Knows How Sure They Are. Nothing uncertain about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in Oxford. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testimony of citizens Such evidence should convince the most skeptical doubter. Read the following statement: D. S. Fuller, Broad St., Oxford, N. C, says: "'I kenw that my kid neys were disordered, for the kid ney secretions were unnatural and deposited sediment. I had a dull pain in my back and there were sharp, shooting twinges in my kidneys- I rested poorly and all these troubles caused my health to be come run down. When I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a supply from the Hamilton Drug Co., and it did not take them long to drive aay my aches , and pains. Doan's Kidney Pills " are by far the best kidney medicine I ever used." - (Statement given in Feb- 1903.) RE-ENDORSEMENT. On December 9, 1910, Mr. Fuller said : "I willingly verify my former statement given in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. I still believe that this remedy is an effective one in curing kidney trouble."

Winifred Black, in the New York American. , . : Miss Mary Carson, the principal of, a school in Kansas City, has started a crusade to stop kissing games at school children's parties. -The kissing game leads to immo rality,? says Miss Carson; "it ought to go." Dear, dear, and I never knew a thing about it! neither did you, did you? i played kissing games from the time I was 6 till I was 13, and no body ever even looked shocked. I feel as Davy Balfour must have felt when he walked up the old flight of stairs and "found himself all of a sudden at the top, with nothing but the black darkness to step off into. An awful thing happened to me at a kissing party once, though, come to think of it. There was a new boy in town, a dark boy with big, romantic brown eyes all the otner Doys were blonds. He didn't freckle, he tanned. and he liked flow ers, and knew the difference be tween violets and spring beauties He was about 11, and I was about 10, and, oh, how madly I loved that boy with the dark eyes and the en trancing wave in his hair! I thought about him all day, and dreamed about him all night, and he never looked at me at all he was dead in love with a little bit of a mouse of a girl, who was afraid of her own shadow, and who never looked at a flower at all.unless she was going to tie a piece of grass around the middle of it and make it into some kind of . a doll. We went to a party one flowering day in May. Oh, the soft breeze that stirred the apple trees and sent the pink petals down on our very heads! And we played "drop the handker chief" out in the orchard. The idol had the handkerchief, and started to run around the little ring under the flowering trees. "Oh," I thought, "if he should drop the handkerchief at my place, what must I do, pretend to run and then stumble, or" The handker chief fell at my very heels, I caught my breath in an agony of delight started to run, stumbled, screamed. "Oh, Billy Evans!" looked around and the boy who had caught me and was kissing me was not Billy Evans at all, but another boy entirley. I had been so engrossed with my day dream of the Idol that I didn't kno what was happening. And I had be trayed my heart's dearest secret to the whole party. "I shall never get over it," I thought. "My whole life is blasted- I think I shall go home and be a re cluse and have my meals brought to me in the cellar from this day on." I shall never forget how surprised I was to find myself laughing two or three days after that. Reprehensible, wasn't it? Shock ing. And yet somehow I can't be half as horrified over those kis- skag games out in the orchard as aunnose I should. Let's see, there's Alice, and Grace, and Martha, and Julia, and Dorthy; they all played kissing games and loved to play them, too and yet they are all sweet and lovely women now, There was Bidwell, and Herbert, and Billy, and Jack, and Arthus; none of them as yet has been in the peni tentiary. I haven' even heard of their being arrested. Perhaps kissing games were dif ferent in those days; perhaps the grown people who watched us play them and who laughed at all our foolish little love affairs were dif ferent, too. It sems to me they were. I don't believe the mothers in those days knew quite so much about what the teachers love to tell of as the "seamy" side of life as some of these women who lecture us about our children seem to know today. I wonder if it pays to be quite so woefully wise. Davis has Mowers and Rakes. Now is the time for MOWERS and RAKES, and Davis the Hard ware man at Clarksville is the man to buy your machine right.

Bates, whose dra matic disappearance nine years caused a sensation in medical and social circles, has returned to New York, but with so much' of circum spection that only two of his old com rades or fellow-physicians have learned that he has again establish ed his practice and has once more taken up the thread of life in this city, so strangely broken off. In the window of the house at 117 West Eighty-third street hangs two neat, white lettered signs, the one reading Dr. J. E. Kelly, the oth er, Dr. W. H. Bates. Here, living quietly with his old friend, and gradually building up a practice as he did years ago, Dr. Bates, now 51 years old,is starting his career anew. Nine years ago his name was among the leaders in medical research in this country, and his fame as a spe cialist had caused him to be sum moned hundreds of miles away from New York to attend consultations in cases that baffled many of his fellow-practitioners, ,He was the first to extract and use adrenalin,a powerful heart stim ulant. Dr. Bates in 1902 was at the height of his fame as a heart spe cialist Suddenly, on August 30, 1902 he dropped out of the world in which he was such an important figure. His disappearance was inexplicable. On the last day he was seen in New York he packed a small bag with instruments to be used in an operation. He also packed some other instruments and a few books into a case, which he sent from his office, in the Lonsdale apartments, at 567 Park avenue, by an express man. He was found by friends two months later in London, where he was acting as assistant in a hospi tal. He gave two explanations of his disappearance. He told of hav ing been carried away on board a vessel, to which he had been sum moned to perform an operation on a sailor, and also told of having left New York while suffering from an acute case of aphasia. His appearance bore out the lat ter story. His frienls described him as haggard, thin, and his eyes were deeply sunken. He had suffer ed at times from natural hunger. He told them, although he had left be hind him a bank account of such generous proportions that he might have spent years in London In lux ury. It was learned later that he had left home with only $75, and had never drawn a check against his account here. Two days after being found in London.he disappear ed again. What became of him from that time on none of his friends ever learned, until Dr. Kelly found him quite accidentally in Grand Forks, N. D., a town of 14,000 inhabitants, where he was again engaged in the practice of medicine. There he re mained until a short time ago,when he was induced to return to New York to - join - a consulation. . The patient recovered, and it was then that Dr. Kelly prevailed upon him to remain in New York and to take up the practice of his profession here again . ROSTAND A PLAGIARIST. Famous French Dramatist Robbed Col. Bryan of an Idea! J. Thomas Heflin, in the Congress ional Record- The Republican party's claim that hightariff taxes are levied to pro tect the laboring man is a delusion and a snare. But the distress and suffering that the country experien ced in 1894 were the bitter fruits of the tree that you, had planted. For years you deceived the country by proclaiming it from the house tops that the Republican party pro duced prosperity and that the Dem ocratic party produced panics. But the Republican panic of 1907 when you were in control of every branch of the government has exposed your false claim to the world. Yes, you boasted that your protective sys tem brought prosperity. Mr. Chairman, I am reminded of the story told by Mr. Bryan about the chanticleer, who told his sweet heart, the pheasant, that his crow ing brought the dawn. For months and years she believed him. . She heard his shrill voice ringing out in the darkness before day and then she saw the east radiant with the dawn. She gazed proudly upon the handsome chanticleer and firm ly believed that his crowing brought the dawn- But one . morn ing he was boasting of his power still deceiving his sweetheart and the dawn came before he crowed. The long-deceived pheasant show ed her embarrassment and her dis appointment, and there in her pres ence stood discredited and humili ated the once proud chanticleer, whose hypocrisy had made him con temptible in the eyes of her who had loved and trusted him. Wears $150 Diamond Inside. A diamond worth $150 is now in side Max Marcus, of Pittsburg.near here, and he claims it as his own having paid $50 for it to his friend Harry Fassen. The two have neigh boring shops, and Marcus strolled into Fassen's store just as Fas sen was examining a shipment of diamonds that he had received. The two men admired the un mounted stones and the talk led to ease of stealing them. Marcus suggested that diamond miners must get away with many of them from the diamond mines by swallowing them. "Why," said he, picking up one of the larger stones, "I'll bet I could swallow this easily. "It will cost you $50 if you do," laughingly declared Fassen. "That's a go," exclaimed , Marcus and before Fassen recovered his speech Marcus had placed the dia mond on his tongue, taken a drink of water, and gulped down both water and diamond. Then he pushed $50 across the counter at Fassen, I smiled, and went out. Fassen says the stone cost him $150. IFbtoo Remedy For Uoati Bonds There are two forms of bodily cleanliness, the external and the in- ternal. The one is for your pride inr yourself; the other for your life ami health. Both are important, but off vastly more importance in the loss run is the internal cleanliness. This Is one point that all should wmtel about their body the cleanliness of thm bowels. Keep them clean and free from obstructions. To do this you must have one or two movements of the bowels each twenty-four hours. If your systemv does not do this naturally. In the process) of eating; and drinking, then you must; obtain aid of some kind. After finding out that cathartics, salts and such things relieve you for a day. but bind you ujp worse than ever the next day. then try at simpler and more natural remedy Ilka Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

All the members of the family can use It down to the very youngest. A brief use of this gTand laxative tonic will cure constipation In Its worst form. Indigestion, liver trouble, sick headache, sour stomach and such ailments and keep? you in continuous good health at a very small cost.
