organized will please assist in
getting the farmers out to hear
these important questions dis-
cussed.
The State Department of Agri-
culture publishes, from time to
time, valuable reports upon top-
ics of vital interest to the farm-
ers of the State. All institutes

the agricultural questions which
lie nearest their hearts.

Four Rules of Life
If possible, be well and have a
good appetite. If these condi-
tions are yours, the battle is al-
ready half won. Many soul and
heart troubles arise really in the
stomach, though it may seem
strange to you.
Second: Be busy. Fill the
hours so full of useful and inter-
esting work that there shall be
no time ) for dwelling on your
troubles, that the day shall
dawn full of expectation, the
night fall full of repose.
Third: Forget yourself. You
never will be happy if your
thoughts constantly dwell upon
yourself, your own imperfec-
tions, your short-comings, what
■people think of you and so on.
Fourth: Trust in God. Be-
lieve that God is, that He really
knows what is best for you; be-
lieve this truly, and the bitter-
ness is gone from life.

lisher of News, of Cornelius, N.

DOG IN BABY CLOTHES
RIDES IN STREET CAR
Candy, a full blooded, "high
brow" Boston terrier, aided and
abetted by his mistress, Mrs.
Ada Gregory of St. Paul, was
trying to figure out a way to get
the dog to a photographer to get
his picture taken when she no-
ticed a woman entering the
street car with a young baby, al-
most completely hidden in its
clothing. She looked at Candy.
He was not as big as a six-
months infant. Then she
thought of a neighbor who had a
baby and of course lots of baby
clothing. " Why not?" she
asked.
The clothes were procured and
Candy was soon all "dolled out"
in the latest of infant finery,
even to long lace petticoats and
a knit cap. Then with Candy in
her arms she got on the car.
She designed getting a seat in
front of the car so as to avoid
too much inspection, on the part
of the conductor and the non-
dog loving public. The car was
crowded, however, and she had
to take a seat in the rear.
All went on well for a while.
Then Candy, whose head had
been covered all the time by a
veil, began to fret. He wanted
to see what was going on around
him and it was hot and stuffy
down there, besides. He kicked
and pawed at the laces and
emitted muffled growls which
didn't sound a bit like a human
infant. The conductor grew
suspicious, but he thought may-
by the baby had a cold and he
didn't want to get into trouble
by insulting the mother.
The trip was completed with
the dog still wrapped in infant
attire. When the picture had
beex taken the return trip was
made the same way. —Ex.

lung troubles, you can feel sure
that he knows what he is talking
about. C. Lower, Druggist, of
Marion, Ohio, writes of Dr.
King's New Discovery: "I
know Dr. King's New Discovery
is the best throat and lung medi-
cine I sell. It cured my wife of
a severe bronchial cold after all
other remedies failed." It will
do the same for you if you are
suffering with a cold or any
bronchial, throat or lung cough.
Keep a bottle on hand all the
time for everyone in the family
to use. It is a home doctor.

Secretary School Board.
You are bilious, your thirty
feet of bowels become clogged
up, poisonous gases are gener-
ated in the bowels and thrown
out in the system, your head
aches, you have chills and fever
you are nervous and ill-tem-
pered, your system is full of bile
not properly passed off. Your
disordered stomach and bilious-
ness cannot be regulated until
you remove the cause. It is not
your stomach's fault. Your
stomach is as good as any.
Try LIV-VER-LAX, it is pure-
ly vegetable. Do not resort to
harsh physics and calomel which
ruins the system and softens the
bone.
LIV-VER-LAX acts gently,
yet positively, on the liver,
stomach and bowels, is pleasant
to take and does not gripe or
sicken. It is recommended for
grown ups and babies all alike.
You will be surprised at the
amount of file a bottle of LIV-
VER-LAX will clean out of your
system. Buy a regular 50 cents
or $1.00 bottle from Decuir-
Bishop Drug Co., on our guaran-
tee and be convinced.
