Why Not Got
A Guarantee?
.Every Article of Merit that Is
Sold These Days Is Guaran
teed No Quarantee Often
: Means Poor Quality.
' There Is very little excuse for
anv terson to claim that he has
been "stung" ' on a purchase.
Fifty years ago the buyer had to
look out. but today it is unusual
to find a 'merchant' who will not
return the money for any article
that has proved unsatisfactory.
"An excellent example of this
kind of fair, dealing is shown by
the . clean-cut guarantee ' that
Marshall Pharmacy give, on
Dodson's Liver Tone.
These people tell us that any
person who pays 50c. for a bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone and does
not find it a gentle and most
pleasant liver tonic, harmless,
but a sure reliever of constipa
tion and a perfect substitute for
calomel, can get his money back
just as quick as they can get it
out of the money drawer.
Dodson's Liver Tone has prac
tically taken the place of calomel.
It is absolutely harmless,, sure in
its action and causes no restric
tion of habit or diet. No wonder
the drug people are glad to guar
antee it, while other remedies
that imitate the claims of Dod
son's Liver Tone are not guaran
teed at all. ;v' ; ' 1 ' ;-;. r .'
In Tune.
I' saw a school-yard full of
boys; they were shrieking,
laughing, leaping, running, the
bell ranar and they fell in line to
enter the house; their faces were
flushed; their eyes sparkled;, they
were in tune, in tune' with life,
with th'e whole-souled democracy
of the play ground, with -the
twang of the taut string of youth.
I saw a young girl of eighteen
in the midst of a bevy of college
girls, she glowed like a ruby in
the sun, like a' diamond in the
gaslight, like Venus, lush, blue
and crystal, sailing her ' Zodiac
way; she was in tune, and all
the world about her leaned to
ward her as flowers bend to the
sun, as hearts by instinct reach
out to beauty. -
I saw a' woman busy at her
house work: she was deft, quick,
and made no useless moves; she
washed the dishes with a tennis
zflst: she sweDt the floor with a
golf enthusiasm; she baked a pie
with that same lovmgness oi la
bor with which the artist makes
a statute; she moved swiftly, as
a bee moves gathering honey; she
was in tune, andhTSt baby upon
the floor cooed and'crawled as if
volts of electric- joy. passed
through his spirit. fI saw a man
walking the street; his steps
were full of spring; he side step
ned through the throng witn as
much zest as children show in
blind man's buff; he., so radiated
'LL i r .. .. '
vitality' ' and cheer that many
people turned to look after him;
he was in tune,' in tune with the
cataract of humanity pouring by
him; with the high buildings
about him, now bearing .him on.
I saw a young man and a maid
strike hands, and their souls and
bodies trembled with cosmic joy;
they were in tune. I saw an
orator melt the crowd into a com
mon passion; he had set them in
tune. .' v . '
I saw a mother kneeling by
her dead child; she writhed in
the torture of discord; she
preyed, and by and by ineffable
peace broke like dawn upon her
storm-twisted, features; she bad
got in tune. The secret of life is
to be in tune. "

The Kin of All Laxatives
For constipation, use Dr. Klng-s
New Life Pills. Paul Mathulka, of
Buffalo N. Y., says they are , the
"king of all laxatives. . They are a
blessing to all my family and I always
keep a box at home." Get a box and

The Nation Summoned By A
Solemn Duty.
The great need of our moun
taineers today is trained leaders
of their own, The future 'of
AnDalachia lies mostly in the
hands otv resolute native bbjte,'
and girls who win the education
fitting them for such laadership.
Here is where the nation at large
is summoned by a solemn duty.
And it. should act quickly, be
cause commercialism exploits
and debauches quickly. But the
Schools needed here are not ordi
nary graded schools. They
should be vocational schools that
will turn out good farmers, good
mechanics, good housewives.
Meantime let a model' farm be
established in every mountain
couuty showing how to get the
most out of mountain land. Such
object leasons would speedily
work an economic revolution.
It is an economic problem, fun
damentally, that the mountaineer
has to face. Horace Kephart, in
"Our Southern Highlanders."
Control Your Thoughts.
Stop that thought. It was in
your mind all day yesterday and
it made you perfectly miserable.
Over and over again you passed
through' all the unpleasant
scenes, heard all the cruel words
that were spoken; suffered again
all the painful feelings, and suc
ceeded in.spoiling the day, unfit
ting yourself for your work, and
destroying all happiness our of
your heart. Are you going to
continue it all day to-day, and
by so doing waste more of your
life in the foolish if not insane
habit of tormenting yoursolf now
because someone or. something
That thought has no right in
your mind. You may think you
cannot stop it, but you can, as it
is only a bad habit you have
fallen into, and you must break
it or it will break you. You
must get the mastery of your
own mind, .and the control of
your own thoughts, and while it
will bo the hardest battle you
will ever have to fight, it will be
the most glorious victory you will
ever win.
To be a slave to unpleasant
thoughts is the worst kind of
bondage, and sometimes leads to
insanity; but to be able to think
on any subject you please places
your happiness in your own
hands, and gives you a sense of
Dower and independence which
is not only delightful to realize
but which enables you to develop
your character . and shape your
life according to your own
choice. 3
When you begin this work
never shut yourself up in a room
alone to brood or pray over your
sorrow, but do these things
which will make you forget, live
in the open air as much as pos
sible, get acquainted with the
birds, watch the clouds, study
the flowers, talk to the streams
or trees, and make companions
of the wonderful works of the
living Father, which will help
you out of yourself into the
broader and sweeter life which
they live. But if you cannot do
this, have a book near at hand
and compel yourself to read ' a
few lines or a few verses, visit a
friend, do some work that de
mands close attention, study a
picture, and whenever the hate
ful tormenting thought presents
itself turn your back on it "and
your attention to something else
till you can say to it. "Not at
home." . M. Homles, in the
New York Observer.
Requisition Revoked
Last week the Governor of
Tennessee drew on North Caro
lina for one of her citizens and
Governor Craig honored the re
quisition. The Tennessee officers
then came for Mr. Jerry Frank
lin of Marshall. Franklin," it
seems was charged there with
"tipling" what this means
we do not know. On behalf of
Mr. Franklin a telegram signed
by some of Marshall's leading
citizens was addressed to the
Governor asking a revocation of
the requisition. A wire from
the Governor directed the Sheriff
not to deliver Franklin to the
Tennessee authorities and on
Monday Governor Craig revok
ed the requisition. Franklin and
his friends contended that it was
a case of personal malice by a
Greenville citizen and that hired
testimony was the foundation of
the prosecution evidently Gover
nor Craig took this view of the
case. ' "Jerry is still here and
doing a good mercantile busi
ness. . . ;' '
