'Entered at the postolfice at Carroll-
ton, Texas, as second-class matter.
FRIDAY, FEB. 21, 191B.
From the reading of the fran
chise granted by Dallas county
commissioners to E. P. Turner
and associates, it is quite sure
that Carrollton will be on the
line of the Dal las-Den ton interur-
ban. See the item in another
column of this issue.
The Chronicle this week finish-
ed the job of. notifying every
name on our list of the date of ex-
. piration of subscriptions and for
the most part, our readers have
remitted beautifully. However,
we have received one or two al-
most insulting letters, when the
delinquent was asked to "come
across." Some give one excuse,
some another, for taking the
paper out of the post-office for a
year or more and reading it each
and every week. One fellow
says: “I don’t want the thing,
because I don’t consider it is
worth the money and I took it
for granted you thought likewise
when you sent it without the
cash in advance." This fellow,
who is evidently a tiller of the
soil and a poet, then procedes
to advise- us how to run the
Chronicle and "tvusts we will
profit by the advice." This
gentleman has our sincere thanks
for the free advice. He also has
our thanks for an even dozen
pages of full letter-size* type
written copy sent in some
months ago. with the request
that wc give space for the several
different articles (two of them
poetry) in our “highly esteemed
and valuable publication."

There are quite a few who
keep constantly busy in trying
to develop new thrills.
Every young man who expects
to marry should take a lively in-
terest in cooking schools for
young ladies.
There are some old-timers still
living who are willing to leave to
coming generations a ljttle to
collect; but the others perfer to
leave coming generations every-
thing to pay.
Sometimes a man is nqt satis
fled with building his house on
the sand—he goes further and
builds a garage on credit.
What has become of the old
fashioned doctor who didn’t
know it was necessary to install
a trained nurse alongside of
every patient?
Bo sure you are right and then
go ahead—but don’t try to gb
"some.”
Another thing—why doesn’t
some smart man invent a shirt-
waist with a electric button that
by being pushed will, button the
other buttons?
Ak a general thing, it is about
time for a young man to quit
school when he gets to where He
tries to teach everybody.
Mrs. Peevish says that, for
her part, after ten years of wed-
lock she would be glad to change
to lockjaw.
EASY RELIEF
FROM CONSTIPATION
The Remedy That Replaces
Calomel— Causes No Restric-
tion of Habit oivDiet.
It is a mistake to take calomel when
your liver is lazy and needs toning
up. Hundreds of people in this sec-
tion have discovered that Dodson’s
Liver Tone is a thousand times bet-
ter and safer and its action is just as
sure. There are none of the bad
after-effects of calomel to Dodson’s
Liver Tone and no danger of saliva-
tion.
For attacks of constipation or bil-
iousness one oi; two spoonfuls of this
mild, pleasant tasting vegetable
liquid are enough and Sanders drug
store gives a personal guarantee that
every bottle will do all that is claim-
ed for it. Money back in any case
where it fails.
Dodson’s Liver'Tone costs only 50
cents for a large bottle; Remember
the* name because there are any num-
ber of remedies sold in imitation of
Dodson claims. Some of them have
names very similar to Dodson's Liver
Tone—and aae in same color pack-
age. These imitations are not guar-
anteed and may be very harmful. Go
to Sanders drug store and you will
surely get the genuine.

NURSES 0FJ50 YEARS AGO
Old Tim* Article Trill the Difficult.
Outlet and Requirements of Their
Profession,
In their “History of Nursing,” the
authors, Miss Nutting and Miss Dook,
quote from an article written in 1764,
which gives an insight into what was
required of the trained nurse in the
eighteenth century. The article says:
"This occupation is a* important for
humanity as its functions are low and
repugnant. All poisons are not
adapted to it, and the heads of hospi-
tals-ought to be difficult to please, for
the lives of patients may depend upon
their choice of applicants. The nurse
should be patient, mild, compassion-
ate. She should console the siok,
foresee their needs, and relieve their
tedium. The domestic duties of the
nurse are: To light the Ores in the
wards and keep them going; to carry
and distribute nourishment; to accom-
pany the surgeons and doctors on
their rounds, and afterwards to re-
move all dressings, etc.; to Sweep the
halls and wards, and keep the persons
of the patients and their surroundings
clean; to empty all vessels, and
change the patients’ linen; to prevent
noise and quarreling and dlstur-
| bancee; to notify the steward of
everything they see which is wrong;
to carry out the dead and bury them;
to light the lamps In the evening, and
visit the sick during the Bight, and
to watch them continually, giving them
every aid which their state requires,
and treating them with kindness and
consideration.'

•he is a Genius, but Is Not Oftsn
Found In These Decadent
Days.
“I’d give a dollar.” said the man
who coddlus his stomach, “to find
a cook who doesn’t measure. She
would gladden my soul. The cook
who does things by guess Is a rare
bird nowudays. She has genius, else
she could not dispense with the cast-
iron rules that regulate modern cook-
ery, and geniuses are seldom indigen-
ous to the huthouse kitchen.
“But there used to be plenty of
them. Why, I remember the time
when half the kitchens in the laud
gloried in a guesswork nook. It
did a fellow’s eyes and 'his entire
internal organisation good to watdh
her. She would take a pinch of this,
u handful of that, and a dash of some-
thing else, and mix them all togeth-
er, and the result would be the most
delectable tidbit that a fellow ever
put in his mouth.
“Lord, Lord, but eating was a
pleasure in those days. It isn’t so
now. In these whirligig times every-
thing has a machine-made taste.
That's because the cooks measure so
much. Instead of trusting to in-
spiration, as the heaven-born cook
is bound to do, the kitchen queens of
today measure even the salt they put
in the porridge. No wonder such
cookery lacks individuality, and is all
on the same dead level of mediocrity.
Merciful heaven, what ails these bis-
cuit? They’re an heavy as lead.”
“Possibly the cook made a mis-
take,” said the man's wife. “I got a
new cook yesterday—one that cooks
by guess. I am afraid she didn’t
put enough baking powder In the bis-
cuits.”
ADVISED TAKING OF CANADA
Benjamin Franklin’s Counsel tf» Brit-
ish Government Resulted In Cap-
ture of the Dominion.
Benjamin Franklin, the first Ameri-
can philosopher and the first Ameri-
can diplomat, was not, &b Mark Twain
averred, “twins, torn simultaneously
at Boston and Philadelphia," but as
the change in the calendar from
old style to new came after bis birth
at Boston on January 6, 1706, accord-
ing to the reformed almanac he was*
born on January 17. In 1759 Franklin
was in England as agent for the
colony of Pennsylvania. Previous to
this, though little known, it was main-
ly by the advice of Franklin that the
English government resolved to con-
quer Canada, and for that purpose
sent out Wolfe’s expedition. It was
In 1759 that Franklin made a journey
from London to Scotland, of which
in a letter written to a Scotch friend,
he used these words which have ever
endeared Mm to the Scot; “I think
the time we spent there was six
weekB of the densest happiness I have
ever met with in any part of my
life, and the agreeable and instructive
society we found there in such plenty
has left so pleasing an impression on
my memory that, did not strong con-
nections draw me eleswhere, I believe
Scotland would be the country I
should choose to spend the remainder
of my days in.”
Your Cotton Will Come Up Standing Like
When Planted With the
LEDBETTER ^ .IMF
“One Seed” Com and Cotton Planter
OME in and see the only real cotton planter. The planter with a positive, precise force feed, that
Ei will take linty cotton see*, just as it come9 from the gin, and plant the seed in a straight,
narrow line--oue at a time, equal distanced apart—as regular as button* on a card.
Other planters can be set to plant "thick or thin”, but this planter will plant thick—a bushel or
more of seed to the acre—without bunching, or thin-down to a bushel to six acres—without skips.
Each plant stands alone with its own few Inches of growing room—cuts the work of chopping
down to one-half and you can take your own time about chopping—plants keep on growing and
make stocky, vigorous bushes.
• When you plant your cotton with a Ledbetter "One Seed" Corn and Cotton Planter—one seed
at a time, evenly spaced—you can plant the best seed that money can buy at no more cost than
ordinary seed, because none are wasted in useless bunching. And you get 5 bales of cotton on the
same land that grew only 4 before, because there are no skips in the row.
When the Ledbetter "One Seed” Corn and Cotton Planter is set for planting corn,
it is strictly a corn planter, without an equal for that purpose—dropping without fftil
a single grain at any distance desired from 8 to 48 inches. And it plants pehs, kaffir
corn, milo maize and other similar seeds with the same regularity and precision, and
withpeanut planting attachment,peanuts large or small, shelled orin the shell.
A double guarantee is behind every Ledbetter "One Seed" Lister Planter.
That of the manufacturers, The Southern Plow Co., Dallas, Texas, and
ourselves. Not only guaranteeing it as a planter, but
as a powerful, strong, effective lister.
COME IN TODAY—We want you to see this planter
whether you intend buying a planter now or not.

The best covering for a children’s
playroom is cocoa matting, which can
easily be taken up and shaken twice
a week.
Barley and lime water given to a
baby strengthens it and helps to
make bone. It also renders the milk
readily digestible.
It is an excellent plan to put a piece
of while oilcloth under a child's plate.
It can be wiped after every meal and
saves the tablecloth.
Hair pillows are alee for baby's
crltfs or carriages. They can be
washed In the hottest of water and
dried by artificial means and no dam-
age Is done them.
To make baby’s hair curl brush It
upward and twist it. round the fingers
(after damping the hair). Brushing
downward makes the hair grow
straight and smooth.
Gospel of Courage.
Ralph Waldo Trine stated his belief
thus in Harper’s Bazar;
“To get up each morning deter-
mined to be happy, determined to be
master of the events of the day in-
stead of being mastered by them; to
take anew this attitude of mind when
the ifoleful thought presents Itself or
the bogy-man attempts to show his
face; to look always on the bright
side of things, determined to aland al-
ways In the sunshine rather than in
the shadow—this it is that makes
life with its daily round and its
knotty problems continually easier.
This hopeful, optimistic, courage-al-
ways-up attitude of mind and heart
is to set into operation subtle, silent
forces that are continually working
along the lines we are going and that
opens the way for us to arrive.”
Strange London Figure.
A few years ago there used to stand
on the pavement of Okford street in
all weathers a venerable white-haired
gentleman, dreseed respectably in
high hat and frook coat, who accosted
each member of the throng of sun
worshipers, moving eastward in the
morning, westward la tbe uvenlugs,
uttering in a quick tone of deep con-
cern the single phrase, "Tbe time is
short I The time is short!” No one
