The success of vast enterprises is founded upon optimism. Nearly 100 per cent of the happiness in the world today exists because of the man, the woman and the child who wear a sunny smile which can only be dimmed and even then, but temporarily by adverse circumstances. Let to the consumptive, a misguided optimism is fatal. For one to believe that one is going to get well, is a fine thing.. To believe this so strongly that the absence of proper care seems to be a negligible thing, means that the time is not far off when some one will say. “It is too late now.” Remember the little couplet which appeared in all tin copy books of a generation ago? It read: “Os all the sad words of tongue or jiyn, the saddest are these. ‘lt might have been. ” If there are any applications at all, of this little phrase to the every-day life of men and women of today, it will apply to the person, who, after coughing chronically for several weeks, after notieine a gradually failing strength, will say, “There is nothing the matter with me lint a ba.l cold." How do you know’ It is just a cold?" It is not only possible, but probable that tuberculosis is beginning to develop. Don’t wait.

ANOTHER FEATURE ADDED TO THE DECATUR LAUNDRY The management of the local laundry that is now being operated by B. R. Farr, wish to announce to the people of Decatur that a water softening plant has been put into operation at the above laundry, which means that still better work will be turned away from this laundry than has ever been done in the past. We heartily invite every one to come to our laundry and see the substance that is removed from this good water that Decatur boasts of. There is not a person in Decatui that doea not know It is nearly Impossible to produce a suds with this watir here; the consequence, it has been a serious problem to attempt laundry work with the present conditions. With this water softening plant that has been put In operation, it has been possible to make this water a'most equal to rain water in softness, and in many respects far superior to It, because the water that comes from this softening is absolutely pure and clear and free of all impurities, which rainwater is not, by a long ways. We ask every one that is a patron of ours to notice the difference of appearance, the snowy whiteness and brigntness of the colored articles, that are washed at this ladundry now. All this has been done to give the people of Decatur an up-to-date laundry, something that a city of this size demands, one that turns out QUALITY WORK and make it unnecessary for any one to send their laundry out of town to get satisfaction. WON’T YOU GIVE US A TRIAL, and be convinced that what we say is true. We assure you that any work entrusted in our care will have the best care and will be appreciated.

infect, the mattress. Better burn it. Dear Tuberculosis Editor: —I have an advanced case of tuberculosis. Is it necessary that I should leave home so that the other members of the family may not be endangered?—Mrs. 1,1. It is not necessary that you should leave your home, if you are careful to cover your face with a napkin when you sneeze or cotigh; if you burn the napkins into which you expectorate; if you also see to it that the dishes you use and the clothing you wear are washed separately; and if you catefully observe all the other sanitary precautions. If you wish, we shall be glad to supply you with literature dealing with this subject, free <f charge. To the Editor: —Which kind of a case is considered more curable, a hemorrhage or a fever case? No general rules can be laid down as to the curability of cases described only by particular symptoms. In a general way. cases which do not have fever particularly at the time of hemorrhage, have been considered more favorable. o — PIANO TUNING AND REPAIRING. D. A.

A Simple Constipation! Remedy—Try 1t For quick, positive relief _ front constipation, sour stomach, biliousness, inactive liver, bad breath, and all the ills that follow them nothing as yet has been found to quite equal that old, time-tried compound of may-apple root, aloes and jalap. . I Recognized as one of the standard remedies, physicians daily prescribe it, many preferring it to all others, and especially calomel. They like it because, being purely vegetable, it’s not nearly as harsh as calomel; it never gripes; is never followed by any of the dangerous after-effects that so often Jesuit from the use of calomel. This standard remedy, readyprepared, may now be had under the name of Sentanel Laxative Tablets. Be sure you get the original Sentanel Laxatives, put up in the box that has the picture of the soldier on it. In this form it is much more convenient and easier to take than in the old-fashioned powder or capsule form—cheaper, too; a 10c box of Sentanels should last one several weeks.
