Scotch Journal Can In Nothing Eloc
If Dovelopmento of Slaughtering
Devi cm Continuo.
Official secrecy still continues to
be observed regarding the result of
the experiments with ftignor Ulivi's
F-rays in igniting explosives at a
distance, but it is quite apparent that
if this new force can accomplish
what is claimed for it, warfare will
be completely revolutionized. For
several generations the explosive has
been the essential factor in our fight-
ing machinery, and all our energies
have been directed to perfecting it
and the instruments by which it is
discharged. Now, however, if it is
possible for a man operating a key-
board at a safe distance to blow up
magazines and ammunition wagons
the explosive and the weapons by
which it is used must be left behind
before an army can venture into the
field. M. Bloch some years ago de-
dared that war had been made im-
possible by the destructive nature of
the weapons that had come into ex-
istence. He was wrong in his an-
ticipations. as subsequent events
demonstrated, but through the in-
strumentality of the F-rays we may
<ee all the murderous apparatus of
modern warfare which M. Bloch
thought was to effect his beneficent
idea thrown on the scrap heap. But
how are we to fight our battles then?
We will have to go back to the spears
and bows and arrows, likewise the
strategy and tactics of Bannockburn
and Agincourt—Dundee Advertiser

"Women are certainly the mental
superiors of us men."
"What makes you say that?"
"Seeing my wife spank the baby,
read a book and carey on a conversa-
tion with her mouth full of hairpins
at the same time."
The government ginners re
port up to January 16th shows
that there had been ginned in
Burleson county, 29,957 bales of
cotton, while at the same date
last year there were 34,890.
Mrs. G. B. Cowen returned to
Fort Worth Tuesday from visit

was accompanied home by Mrs.

WHY NOT JOIN FORCES?
Mayor Goetz of South Bend was
discussing the sudden political cam-
eraderie of two erstwhile hostile
camps.
"There is something weird about
it," he said, "something ghastly and
unreal. In fact, it reminds me of
the insane asylum inmates.
"'What, brings you here?' an old
inmate asked of a newcomer one
morning at breakfast.
" 'Fits,' was the reply. 'I take fits.*
" Why, so do I!' cried the other
lunatic, delightedly. 'Come on out
and we'll have one together!'
"And the two men hurried forth
into the garden."
ADVICE TO GIRLS.
The dean of Rochester in distribut-
or prizes at the Rochester Girls'
Grammar school urged the girls to
avoid the mistake of thinking that
life should l>e all pleasure. "Yon
must see that duty and service are
not .cramped," he added, "and I ád-
vif=c you to choose the best book?, and
never read novels in the morning.
Some girls are always posing like
those pictures in the illustrated pa-
pers of the irresistible smile with
acres of teeth.
"A girl, however learned, does not
demean herself by sweeping a room
or cleaning a grate."
WORLDLY ADVICE.
Ethel—Jack Roxleigh is good
looking enough, but I don't care for
his ways.
Marie—Never mind about his
ways, my dear, think ef his means."
THE DISTINCTION.
wIf you marry my daughter I
must insist on living with her."
"All right, as long as you don't
live on me."
Esrodoma Bible Class.
Esrudoma, was the name adopt-
ed for the new Bible class which
held its first regular meeting on
Monday afternoon last from 5 to
6 o'clock at the home of Rev. M.
C. Bishop. After being led in
prayer by him and dispensing
with business, quite a pleasant
time was spent in study of
Hroaddus, ''Harmony of the Gos-
pels," first lesson being taken
from first three chapters of
Matthew and Luke.
The regular meeting dates
wore changed to first and third
Mondays of each month
As membership is open to
all young women, both married
and single, we hope to see a
decided increase in same at our
next meeting which will take
place on February 16th.

it's Poison to the Human Sys-
tem and Works Great Harm
You perhaps know cases in
your own experience when peo
pie have been salivated—injured
for life by the use of calomel.
Such cases are matters of daily
occurrence. Modern medical
science has discovered a vegeta-
ble remedy which eliminates
liver poisons more effectively
than dangerous calomel and at
once saves you all the disagreea-
ble effects. It is gentle in effect,
no griping, no nausea, no chance
of salivation. It cleanses the,
system thoroughly.
It is known as Grigby's Liver-
Lax, and is sold in 50c and 84.(X)
bottles by Caldwell Drug Co. un- j
der an absolute guarantee that;
your money will be refunded if
you wish it after trying this won-
der remedy.
For your protection and the
protection of the druggist, the
likeness of L. K. Grigsby ap-
t>ears on every bottle.
