Spring has ofltciully arrived. Th.s 0 is the first day and a lieaMty. a luigl: good time to prepare lor the thi it garden. The ground hog's lease has expired and you can solely plan h.r outside activities after a winter of heavy coal bills, a potato famine ■:::<! other troubles that now should fade into insignificance. Governor Goodrich says he is ,n favor of retaining officials who have made good, and we presume he means nationally for he has so tar taki n every opportmrity and made every possible effort to replace democratic officeholders with republicans. Hri idea of making good seems to be faithfulness to the Goodrich machine. It would seem that the people would have learned by this time that tieonly legitimate news is that reeei.-l through the big news agencies, thou.'.'l it was again demonatratEl yesterday that any one can start a wil l and foolish rumor over the wires and excite a nation. The story that the kaiser hid been killed and Berlin destroy d caused much excitement in nianv towns and cities and without tr. sl/adow of a foundation of truth. In these days of excitement and num- rons "breaks'' of big items, you e-an depend on the press for authentic news. Call the Daily Democrat. flu city council resolved last evening in reguiar session that unless the county commissioners see ( that tne lights on the Monroe strbet river bridge are put in repair at once, th city refuse to furnish the electricity.

INNER CIRCLE . W I (CONTINUED FROM PAGIt ONKt ( however, moral it may be, Is less tha;i It otherwise might he if allied w th| Jesus Ohrist; less in spiritual develoc.-, ment and satisfaction; less in usebtl ness to his fellowmen. "The soul "I all •iprovement is Improvement c„ . the soul." We care absolutely nothing about, ’mere method in these meetings. It makes little dicierence how you come. I so long as you geniynely yield your life to Jesus Christ. It Is always easier to criticize Ke greatest work fluently, than it is to do the smallest thing passably, biop criticizing and get a better job •<> »e and help us. The Christian side Is' ■jetrong and is getting stronger, but we covet the best men for Jesus Christ. You can never get to heaven b) admiring your own virtues or bj critlzing other folks' faults. And don’t evade the substance In talking about the form of God's mos:sago, as you may happen to hear it delivered. It makes no difference wl at yo uthink of the evangelist or of the ( pastor. God is not asking you tor your opinions, complimentary or oth i wise, of Mis messengers He is e:i'ling you to give your soul to your Saviour. Jesus Christ represents the utnn st God can do for your salvation. If .'•>» cannot be moved by Calvary's sacrifice.

Just think, it was air. u 1 ■ only ninety seconds going oyer iu- j city and doing this damage. 1 onl? • wish’you folks could come and see it There have been thousands of peo le in here viewing the sights. The im st of the people were killed, in the e • side of town. One family of six w< r" all killed but one girl about 16 ye .rs old. At another place was a man sick and bis mother had come to ta:e care of him. They heard it coming and she threw herself upon the b l with him. her arms about his m - k and that is the way they fond the ;i. both dead. Then they found his lit le girl also dead. At another place that had caught fire, they were fighting it and so ce me said they smelled flesh and went to work looking for it and found a man with his head and one .inn burned off. Another place they heard it and one of the persons said; "Run tor the cellar.'' and they all star :d and all got down but two women. One of them had her head cut half off a.i.l the other was rt-ushed by the house .s it was moved from its foundation. It caught them on the stairs. There are many others but I will m t - take space to write them, but you c,n see just how heart-hending a disasi---it was. To Prevent Old Age Coming Too Soon! “Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown ' out by the kidneys. The kidneys act as filters for such products. If wet wish to prevent old age coming too soon and inTease our chances for a long life, we should drink plenty of pure water and take a little Anuric.” says the world-famed Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. When suffering from baekach?, frequent or scanty urine, rheumatic- pains here or there, or that constant tired, worn-out feeling, the simple way to overcome these disorders is merely to obtain a little Anuric (double strength) from your nearest druggist and you will quickly notice the grand results. You will find It mon-times more potent than lithia, and that it dissolves uric acid almost as hot water does sugar ADVICE TO WOMEN.
