THE STARS AND MAN’S OWN
DOUBT
Men liave been pleased, to puz-
zle themselves over the question
of other habitable worlds. As-
tronomers tell us that, with' the
possible exception of Mars, no
visible star or planet can sup-
port life as it exists on this earth.
But, what do the astronomers
know? The extent of the vast
spaces beyond the Milky Way
are, as yet, unexplored, and
measured by distance incompre-
hensible to tlie mind of men. Im-
agine a light year, the distance
that light, travelling 186,173
miles per second, moves in a cal- >. s^no, mu(j
STUDY THE FACTS
This is a campaign year. The
voters will hear many assertions
made by candidates. Some of
the declarations will be contra-
dictory to each other. IIow is the
voter to know which candidate
telling the truth and which one
is trying to fool him either by
misstatements or by misleading
information ?
The only answer for the citi-
zen who is desirous of knowing
the truth and voting in the in-
terest of good government is for
the citizen himself to find out
what the true facts are. In this
day of partisan politics however,
he must be careful to select the
impartial sources from which to
acquire the necessary truths for
him to make up his mind proper-
ly as to what candidates he real-
ly should support.
Some candidates are inclined
to brag and boast of what they
have done or cna do. Others are
more moderate . and modest in
their claims, naming solely their
own accomplishments in black
and white. The thinking citizen
should not allow the claims and
bombasts of a braggart to cause
him to overlook the fundamental
merit of the man who does not

eudar year, some 6,000,000,000,000 1
miles, which is the unit used to
measure stellar space.
Think of distant stars, larger
than our sun, so far away that
light takes a million years to
come to us. Around them, con-
jectures astronomy, may resolve
innumerable habitable globes, in-
visible planets.
Certainly, myriads of stars ex-
ist, scattered through space so
vast that man is proud of wild
guesses to estimate its extent
and considers himself wise to
have discovered it at all.
The marvel of the celestial un-
iverse is not what astronomers,
with wonderful ingenuity, have
found out, nor what they do not
know but that men, in their
hearts, have said, “There is no
God.”
Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Arnold
and baby, R. E. Duncan and Miss
Dorothy Gray, all of Galveston,
are visiting relatives here this
week.

Criticism of wliat has been
done is easy and promises to do
are also easy'. Those who criti-
cize should point out what they
would have done under the same
circumstances. Those who prom-
ise should demonstrate the means
whereby they can carry out
effectively their promises.
Another thing that the aver-
age voter must watch is rumors
against various candidates. If
opponents of a candidate spread
rumors clandestinely the voter
should wonder why the charges
are not made publicly if they are
true. Rumors should be checked
carefully so that the voter may
not be imposed upon by some
unscrupulous politician or his
friends.
Good government is a matter
of concern to every honest citi-
zen, who should desire to cast
his vote for every candidate who
is best qualified and equipped
to render the public honest and
efficient service. No other con-
sideration should guide a man
or woman in casting the ballot.

BE CAREFUL
More than four hundred and
fifty fatalities were reported as
a result of the July Fourth ob-
servance. Probably a good many
more were unreported.
Of deaths reported one hun-
dred and forty-nine were the re-
sult of traffic accidents, seventy-
six resulted from drowning and
various other accidents account-
ed for the balance.
The American people will have
to practice being more careful.
Accidental deaths continue to
man life.
Tuesday as I write will say the
revival meeting is in progress
and getting along very well for
the beginning. Rev. Sanders is

fore the meeting closes. Every-
one is invited to come and take
part in the services.

How Cardui Helps
Women To Build Up
Cardui stimulates the a ppetite and
improves digestion, helping women
to get more strength from the food
they eat. As nourishment is im-
proved, strength is built up, certain
functional pains go away and wom-
en praise Cardui for helping them
back to good health. . . . Mrs. C. E.
Ratliff, of Hinton, W. Va., writes:
“After the birth of my last baby, I
did not seem to get my strength
back. I took Cardui again and was
soon sound and well. I have given
it to my daughters and recommend
it to other ladies.” . . . Thousands
of women testify Cardui benefited
them. If it does not benefit YOU,
consult a physician.
