Paint S.T Home Bright
A little paint here, a touch of enamel there, a brushful of varnish yonder?everyone
can see a dozen such opportunities for brightening and beautifying the home. Perhaps it's
the outside of the house that needs protection from the ravages of the weather; perhaps
it's a chair, or dresser, the floor or woodwork that has become worn and shabby, or
perhaps it's the family carriage, the farm wagon or the lawn swing that has ceased to be a
source of pride. I!ut no matter what it is that has become marred and unsightly from
age and wear, there's an Acme Quality paint, enamel, stain or varnish that will exactly fit
the need. We are agents in this vicinity for

Butter Brown's Philosophy.
Resolved, that the love of money Is
surely the root of all evil. It makes
folka hate, murder, lie and commit all
kinds of crimes. And what good is
It? We cannot eat It or drink it
or breathe it or sleep on it or wear
4t. If you were on an island alone
with a billion dollars you would starve
to death. The love of money pollutes
politics and creates wars. There's
enough In the world for all, but most
people are not astisfied with enough.
?I can't help It. Beware of dishonest
money, It cant' buy happiness or
peace of mind. You can only get a
solid and pure happiness out of mon
ey you honestly worked for. It's a
law nature. So don't envy any
body their money. Get busy and
earn your own. Don't gamble.?R. F.

A Successful Box Party.
Clayton, Nov. 8.?The bo* party
at the Clayton Graded School was a
success. A large crowd was pres
ent. The children present enjoyed
themselves by "going a fishing."
Sometimes they would catch a doll,
b whistle, an apple, an orange or
some peanuts and candy.
The three or four dozen boxes
were neat and appetizing in appear
ance. They sold well, and after the
sale they were heartily enjoyed by
the groups about the hall.
A very interesting feature of the
occasion was the voting contest to
decide who was the prettiest girl
present. The young ladies receiv
ing the three highest number of
votes were Miss La Rue Williams,
Miss Zilphia Massey and Miss Ka
tiebet Morris. There was much ri
valry among the voters. Miss Mas
sey and Miss Morris received over
200 votes each. Miss Morris, of
Franklinton, a teacher in our Grad
ed school, was awarded the cake by
vote as being the prettiest young
lady. The proceeds of the box par
ty were 146.60.

GETS NEW CHEEK FROM ARM.
London. Man Undergoes a Delicate but
Successful Operation.
A special from London to the Wash
lington Post says:
Making a new cheek out of a man's
arm, was the remarkable operation
recently accomplished at Guy's Hos
pital. The man had lost most of the
fleeh of his cheek by an operation to
remove a growth of lsx years. To
take Its place a piece of sldn was
partially removed from the right bi
ceps. remaining attached to the arm
Iby one edge. The arm was then rais
ed and bent over his head.
The free end of the flap of skin
?was then drawn over the sunken part
of the cheel^ and stitched Into place.
Then bandages were firmly swathed
around the arm and head, and the
whole covered by a thick coating of
plaster of parish, making the arm
immovable. After three weeks the
plaster and bandages were removed,
"when the piece of skin had success
fully grafted itself onto the man's
cheek. It was then cut away from
the arm, to which it had remained at
tached, so that it could get blood
supply until the grafting was com
plete.

PENNY POSTAGE HIS PLAN.
Hitchcock's Project Involves Higher
Rate for Magazines.
Penny postage for first-class mail
taatter undoubtedly will be establish
ed, If Postmaster General Hitchcock
is able to effect an Increase in postal
charges for advertising matter carrle
in magazines, which is now charged
for at the one-cent a pound rate. The
Postmaster General believes that if
the magazine publishers are forced to
pay three or four cents a pound for
the advertising pages of their publica
tions, the additional revenue will per
tait of letter postage being cut in
two.
It will be a simple matter, accord
ing to officials of the Postofifce De
partment, to compute the postage to
toe paid on advertising pages of mag
azines, separate from the pages con
taining reading matter. It is intended
to continue to charge for the latter
at the present rate of one-cent a
pound.
The plan to make this change in
the magazine rate has not progressed
far, but it was started at the depart
ment yesterday that the rate on ad
vertising pages will be at least 3 or
4 cents a pound, and perhaps more.?

Prohibition in Atlanta.
Figures don't lie, an* consequently
they are the most effective weapon
that can be used in combating the
claims of distillers and brewers that
prohibition does not prohibit.
Judge R. H. Preston has prepared
statistics from Atlanta's official re
cords which show that the number of
drunks and disorderlies in that city
has fallen off at an amazing rate
since prohibition went Into effect
in 1908.
Arrests for drunkenness in Atlanta
in 1907, the last wet year, totalled 6.
508. In 1908 they numbered 2,650. In
1909 the arrests for the same cause
were 3.741, and for the first nine
months of this year they have
amounted to 1,120. Granting that
they continue at the same rate for
the rest of this year, the total num
ber will be 2,920.
These figures, in the face of the '
bitter fight the divekeepers have 1
inade to continue their unworthy traf- '
fic through socalled soft drink stands,
show that efforts to break down pro
hibition have been futile and the sen
timent for law enforcement is grad

BANK DEPOSITORS SUFFER.
Failure of English Concern for $12,
500,000 Causes Woe.
London. Nov. 5.?The failure of the
'Charing Cross Bank, with liabilities of
$12,500,000 and assets estimated nom
inally at about half that sum, has
brought forth many harrowing tales
of distress from small depositors who
had been tempted to place their all
in the bank by the offer held out of
high rates of Interest on deposits
{withdrawable at long notice, say a
twelvemonth or more.
There is one hard-headed Scotsman
?who has no need to Join the chorus
of lament. He put a few thousand
dollars into the Greenock branch of
the bank at long notice, the interest
agreed upon being 7 1-2 per cent per
annum. Then he insured his deposit
fc'ith Lloyds for a 2 1-2 per cent pre
mium. The consequence is that his
capital has been restored to him in
tact, and he has had a safe 5 per
cent dividend on his money all the
time it was invested.
Stomach Troubles
Cured by Vinol
HERE IS PROOF
" I suffered so long from stomach
trouble and indigestion, that I lost
flesh rapidly?VINOL cured me
after everything else had failed. It
strengthened my digestive organs?
gave me a hearty appetite, and I
can eat anything without the slight
est distress. I do not believe any
thing equals VINOL for stomach
trouble and indigestion."
W. E. VVaterhouse,
Portland, Me.
Mr. Thos. G .Wallace, of Detroit,
Mich., writes, "I suffered for years
from a chronic stomach trouble
VINOL entirely cured me after
everything else had failed.'
It is the curative medicuul ele
ments of the cod's liver, combined
with the strengthening Pr^)PeTr'1jS
of tonic iron contained in \ INOU
which makes it so successful in re
storing perfect digestion, and a
the same time building up the wea
ened run-down system.
Try a bottle of VINOL with ihc
understanding that your money
