63 Years Suecess
The Wonderful Record of Dr.
Thacher’s Liver and
Blood Syrup.
Those medicines which live for even
a quarter of a century are escepLioiial,
and continuous use for over two-thirds
of a century is indisputable cvidcucc of
Tvonderful merit.
Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup
came into existence in 1852, and from
that timu to the present it has grown
in the confidence and estimation of its
increasing number of users,
fa all these years it has steadily
growalB/i popular favor.
Its ■wonderful building up power is
6hov,’n in the experience of Mrs. (J. E.
Chadwick, Seale, Ala. “I was all run
down in health,” she says. ‘‘Weighed
only 104J pounds and getting worse
every day. I began the use of Dr.
Thacher’a Liver and Blood Syrup and
today, I am thankful to say, X am in
F;rfect health and weigh 155 pounds,
attribute my good health to the use
of that most wonderful medicine. I
firmly believe there are numerous suf
fering people that could be sound and
well by the use of Dr. Thacher’a Livei
l«nd Blood Syrup.”
^ If you need a tonic, or a blood purl-
*fler; if your liver is out of order, youi
stomach troubles you, or you are con
stipated, have indigestion or dyspepsia,
try Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood
Syrup. It is purely vegetable and
connot possibly iiyure any one. It has
been of wonderful benefit to others,
therefore should command your atten
tion All dealers in medicines sell it
and will recommend it.

Pure Water for Men in Trenches.
P’iltered and sterilized water for the

being provided by water trains, the
war department ar.nounoed.
Under the direction of the surgeon
general’s office sections held by the
American forces where permanent wa
terworks have not been established
will be fully supplied by the.se trains,
which are in reality miniature water
works that chemically treat, filter and
sterilize all water used for drinking
purposes. Each unit carries an expert
chemist, bacteriologist and pumpman,
and the water tanks are mounted on
motortrucks equipped -JiV'ith powerful
liphts so that the work can be carried
on at night.
Women for British Pulpits.
Woman preachers for Great Britain
are a possibility if the government’s
drafiing of men between forty-five and
fifty causes a much further shortage
In the crop of clergymen.
Already three clergymen have en

batant corps.
That women will make good preach
ers is the opinion of many of the Brit
ish clergy.
**Women can deal with many ques
tions that I cannot deal with,” says the
Rev. Newton of the City Temple.
Saving Wool Rags.
The answer to the question, "Why
should we save wool?” Is that a fully
equipped soldier uses 13 times as much
wool as does a civilian. Also that
there are not enough sheep raised tf>

KNOWN BY FRUITS
The morals of a people are reflect
ed in the character of their amuse
ment. This is a statement that can-
^not be doubted by anyone. Further,
a tree is known by the fruit it bears,
\and a man is judged by the company
Oie keeps. A drinking character is
tiever so happy as wlien he is among
Vhose who drink. This is a pastime
In which he takes delight and his
Character is clearly depicted by all.
hVe should never judge other than
Hghteously, and unless we can do
i;his it is best and wisest not to judge
at all lest we make a mistake. Some
trees bear beautiful fruit but at tht
|;ame time it may be bitter or un-
f.vholesome. Some people present a
lovely outside appearance but in
wardly they are rotten. Such char
acters need to be scrutenized closely,
for this is the only way by which
you can discern them.
Tlie allurements of to<hiy are var
ied and very fascinating, and lest we
are very watchful, we are liable to
yield to something that is hurtful, not
only to ourselves, but to Ihose around
us. The force of example is great, es
pecially so with people of prominence.
Leaders in all vocations of life hold
very responsible positions, and should
bo well prepared to perform their
respective parts to tho greatest ad
vantage of all. No community can
successfully carry on a worthy pro
ject for the upbuilding of the same
v.'ithout a leacier, and no community
etui commit itself to wrong-doing
without a leader. Leaders of both
classco are in emi)ryo now, and some
ha'.c already matured, and the ques
tion for all good people to consider
is to change the embryonic candi
dates for evil into embryonic char
acters for goo(i. The finished ]>ro-
duct is hard to cha.nge or eliminate
for the plastic perio(i has passed.
In ibis age of progress it beliooves
us all to be on guard, for the many
devices of men to make money are
varied and some of them are ques-
t'onable, thouirh garnish(i with sem
blance of right. The tiling that does
not tend io elevate man must, logi- j
tally sjieakirg, degrade him. For it j
is a fact that if we do not continue '
to rise in the scale of life as the days j
go by, we go in the opposite direc- j
tion. There are no intermediate or
neutral groumls. We either bear
fruit or we do not 1)car fruit.

Potash From Cement Dust.
Extraction of potash from dust Is
claimed as a possibility. .Tames D.
Ilhode.s, a Pittsburgh manufacturer,
claims to have made the discovery,
and at his own expense has arranged
to er(*ct a large experimental plant ad
joining the plant of a cement company
at Pastalia. O.. for tho purpose of ex
perimenting for 120 days.
The Tnstalia plant is In the hands of
a receiver and it was necessary to
g(‘t permission of the United States
district court before Mr. Rhodes could
enter into any agreement with the re
ceiver. This was granted.
Mr. Rhodes said he could «itract
large quantities of potash for fertilizer
from the dust and waste of cement
mills that will be of groat benefit to
the country in increasing the supply.
It is understood that the United
States government is watching the ex
periment with interest.
Mrs. Bertha Allison and two ciiil-
drcn from Hopewell, Va., are spend-
, ing a few weeks with her parents,

FIRES IN SCHOOLS MEAN HEAVY
LOSSES
Dogs on the Battlefield.
Experiments made in the training
of dogs as messengers with the ar
mies in the field have. It is stated,
given satisfactory results. The dogs
which have proved most receptive
under instruction are chiefly half-
bred collies and retrievers. A rather
poor breed of bob-tailed sheep dogs
has also done well. All have been
trained to perform their errands
during heavy firing, both rifles and
guns. They can be fired over as
easily as the ordinary sporting dog,
and, what Is quite another thing, they
will face fire at close range. Many
have shown amazing skill In getting
over, under and through all sorts of
obstacles, including wire.
Destination—Berlin.
H. T. Bennett, a Seymour traveling!
man, was standing on a depot platform
In a Kentucky town while a group of
colored men were waiting to entrain,
and overheard the following conversa
tion between one of the conscripts and
a colored girl who was bidding him
goodby:
“V\'^ell, Sam, nr»» you goin’ with this
bunch? I supi>'e-j you are goln* to
France right soon, ain’t you?” the girl
asked.
“Not exactly,” replied the soldier
candidate. “I suppose ni go through
France, but, you see. Pm on my way to
Berlin.”—^la^anapoUs Newa.
I, Fred Johnson, do solemnly swear that the above state
ment of the incomc and expenditures of the town of North Bre
vard for the llscal year ending June 1st, 1918, is true to the
best of my knowledge and belief.

School buildings are just as suscep
tible to serious damage by fire as oth
er structures, and should be as well
built and protected as other build
ings. The record of fires in schools
in Canada shows that, during the last
four years, a fire has occurred every
week in a public school or residential
college. The direct financial loss re
sulting from these fires amounts to
more than $1,250,000. A careful
study of conditions show’s that less
than one per cent of our schools are
in any sense fire-resisting and that
over 60 per cent are built of wood.
The safety from fire of the 28,000
public schools in Canada, in which ov
er 1,500,000 children receive their
education, has received little attention
outside of cities and towns where
1>uilding ordinances govern methods
of construction.
The people, as a whole, favor efii-
cient fire protection in schools, but
when it comes to the question of a
single building, the local public al
most invariably votes for the cheap
est type of construction. Up to the
present, loss of life ^n the schools of
panada has not been such as to arouse
a strong public sentiment in favor of
improved construction.—J. G. S. in
