YOU AjVD THE WORLD
The world expects the people to live in houses.
A house is judged by the kind of lumber contained in it, and the builder shares the judg-
ment. Somewhere these judgments are passed every day. Confidence and respect are the natur-
al results of good houses. You can create the best impression by having a house out of the best
material. Boiled down, it is a question of good material, where to get it and what to pay for it. ,
Let us answer the question for you, because it’s a part of our business. We Know the facts
in the case, and our knowledge is yours for the asking.
Even before you ask it we wish to state that our stock is full in every respect and we do
not allow the other fellow to furnish better material or better prices.

Physical training is as essent-
ial in developing a boy or girl as
intellectual training. A student
might have a strong desire to
reach higher planes of life; he
might have a will power equal to
that o f Demosthenes; and h e
might be a giant intellectually,
but if he has not grown physically
his efforts will not reach the zen-
ith of his undertakings. We be-
lieve each student should become
stronger spiritually, intellect-
ually, and physically.
Habit is the result of acquisit-
ion. An act that has been per-
formed is more easily repeated
the second time. If done a few
times at the command of the will,
it becomes iiermahentiy a part
of the individual, and may be re-
peated without any conscious ef
fort. After a habit is deeply root-
ed, it is dilficult then to keep
from always being under the in-
fluence of the same. Is it not im-
portant tfien that we be careful
what thoughts, actions, and con-
versations, are a part of us un-
consciously? Students should
harbor those thoughts in their
minds which will be beneficial to
them, for. their future character
and - success depends largely
upon their efiorts in youth.—X.

You need the lumber and we
need the money. That brings
the matter down to price. We
can give it, so come in and let us

Saved Girl’s life S
“1 want to tell you what wonderful benefit 1 have re- ®
ceived from the use of Thedford’a Black-Draught,” writes j
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. J
"It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds, J*
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles, ®
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s ®
Black-Draught made them break ou+, and she has had no J|
more trouble. I shall never be without J
BLack-DraugHT
In my home.” For constipation, Indigestion, headache, dizzi- |j
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar ^
ailments, Thedford's Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
reliable, gentle and valuable remedy. Jp
If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black-
Draught. It is a medicine of known merit Seventy-five
years of splendid success proves its value. Good for
young and old. For sale everywhere. Price 25 cents.

Luke Says
That riches may have wings
but poverty has never flown very
high. - ,
That the man who knows him-
self has a pretty good idea of the
selfishness of the other fellow.
That he never did see an office
holder who had a retiring dispo-
sition.
That it is harder to tell what
to do when in doubt than what to
do when in debt.
That lots of men are poor be-
cause the losing makes them
poorer.
That yon hAd better be thank-
ful that all your hopes cannot be-
come expectations.
That poverty is the greatest
known obstruction to the growth
of the number of fools.
That a great many good laughs
are wasted on poor joke*.
That next to the most piti,
thing in the world is cornfiela
aristocracy—the kind thfut wants
to and to save their souls can’t
see how.
That If you can command ev-
ery slang phrase from A toll-
That knockers should not be
bandied too roughly, because
they are a part of our agricultur-
al system—they are corns on the
toes of enterprise.
That it takes a great many
kinds of people to make up the
world, but it's up to each indi-
vidual to be what he will, and not
cry in afteryears over the poor
specimen he put out.
That the. boy or girl who abus-
es the gclden opportunity of
school days is guilty of burying
the talent, and some day it will
be regretted many fold.
