DON’T BLAME THE EDITOR One of the most difficult of the editor’s jobs is to get the fact about births marriages and deaths. People seem to think he ought to know these things by intuition. It not that, the births, marriage or death is of such importance in the immediate family that it Is presumed the editor will be informed by some wireless or just grow into the information. Then when the paper comes out, and no mention is made of tlie event, the editor Is blamed for nut running a good newspaper or not getting all the news. Remember there are a good many people in this country. If the editor knew each of them by name, besides their family history and the chief events in the lives of every individual he would not be an editor. He’d be a demi-god, resting his feet on a cloud and sipping ambrosia instead of in habiting a broken-down office chair and wondering where Ihe money for the next white paper bill is coining from. The life of the average newspaper min is a gay. one. Gathering news is second nature to him, like picking his teeth with the office pen and cussing the office towel. Just the same, there’s a limit to his omniscience. Last week, we thought of a million, eight hundred and forty nine thousand and forty nine things of importance besides a couple of hundred thousand small items unworthy of mention. And it is a slow week. We’re anxious for news for the paper, and it won’t put you out much to drop by the office or telephone us what happens at your house. Then if the item doesn’t get in the paper, you have a right to come down and kick the stuffing out of the cat. don’t blame us. -o The order placed with the Pressed Steel Car Company for ties for Greek railroads called for 200,000 ties of light steel of a make seldom turned out in this country. The ties were such as to permit of fastning the rails in a man ner that would allow rapid laying of tracks, and for that reason there has been some iliscussion among steel men as to whether the ties may not be wanted for possible construction o' military railroads instead of being solely designed for the railroads which were planned by Greece before the outbreak of the European war. A large portion of the order for the ties for the Greek government went to one of the leading steel companies. o Democrat Wants AHe Pax

True Secret of Keeping ‘ Youthful Looking <Tho B«mty Seeker, y “The teal secret of keeping young-look-’ Ing and beautiful,” says a well-known hygienist, “is to keep the liver and bowels normally active. Without these requisites, poisonous waste products remain In the system, polluting the blood and lodging In various organs, tissues, joints. One becomes flabby. obese, nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled and sallow of face. "But to get liver and bowels working as they ought, without producing evil after-effects, has been the problem. Fortunately, there is a prescription of unquestioned merit, which may now be had in convenient tablet form. Its value is due largely to an ingredient derived from the humble May apple, or its root, which has been called ‘vegetable calomel’ because of Its effectiveness —though of course it is not to be classed with the real calomel of mercurial origin. Thera Is no habit-forming constituent in ‘sentapel* tablets —that's the name—and their use is not followed by weakness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets lend to impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may toe procured from any druggist—a dime's worth will do—will prove a revelation to pmy constipated, liver-troubled person.” Chief Cause of Pimples, Blotches, Sallow Skin

(Messenger of Health.) Unsightly eruptions, plmplea, bolls, blotches, sallow or muddy skin, usually are due to a sluggish liver, a constipated bowel—and a polluted blood stream as a consequence. How foolish in such cases to resort to outward applications, which can never have natural, permanent results. It more people only knew It, thera Is a very simple remedy, to be found in any drug store, which Is as effective as It Is harmless and quick acting. It Is an old formula, long recognized by the medical profession, which has been put In tablet form, and at such small cost no one need now be deprived of its wonderful benefits. '■Sentanel tablets”—that’s the nameare entirely vegetable and there's na habit-forming ingredient. You need only get about a dime's worth, and swallow one at bedtime to realize there's nothing else quite so good for the purpose. Tha action in the morning Is so easy, so soothing, and Instead of a weakening aftereffect, you feel truly refreshed and Invigorated. Sentanel tablets are not only the finest remedy known for constipation and torpid liver, but offer the sanest, most sensible treatment for complexion difficulties of the character mentioned.

Great Demand for New Constipation Remedy They say that the advent of the “sentanel tablet” as a vegetable substitute for calomel has resulted in an extraordinary demand for this remarkable product. !t seems to have made a hit particularly with those afflicted with chronic constipation, who were quick to recognize its advantages over calomel and tuo usual laxatives. Kentanel tablets, aside from their efficacy, doubtless owe their success largely to a tendency to al<L In bringing about natural functioning—mstead of encouraging the "cathartic habit.” Also, Instead of Injuring the membraneous lining of the organs involved, they exert a healing Influence. Instead of weakening, they add tone to the intestinal wall. And they work so easily and gently, they are of course preferred on this account to the violently acting purgatives. Their inexpensiveness Is another reason for the popularity of sentanel tablets. One need procure only a dime's worth, and take one tablet upon retiring, to be convinced that the Ideal remedy for constipation, torpid liver, and their many evil consequences, has flmUiy.beea touad,—Druggists Review.
