Shop Early The Christmas holiday is not so far off that a warning to shop early will be misconstrued. The admonition is of special importance this year. Merchants have their shelves filled with Christmas goods, but they have no assurance that they will be able to supply a wide selection of goods to the trade when their original stocks are depleted. This year, as we all know, is an abnormal one. There is a tremendous demand for goods of all kinds. The demand is greater than the supply, hence, the danger that if we postpone purchasing to the last, minute we will not have the generous selection that today is spread before us. The wise holiday shopper will buy now.
The gift will not lose its lustre or value because
it is placed in your closet or attic awaiting the big holiday. The sales forces will give better service now than weeks later when they are jaded and tired by the Christmas rush. Merchants have pleaded with their patrons for many years to do their shopping early in order to take advantage of complete lines and big selections and to obtain an efficient service from their sales forces. You will be serving yourself primarily by shopping early this season.
Borrowing Nations Government finances the world over are in a chaotic state. Our country is no exception. Our expenses are far in excess of our incomes. During the war, we told the government to spend all the money it needed to win the conflict. When the war closed we demanded economy and curtailment of expenditures wherever possible. But little headway has been made in that direction. The new congress will do well to cease its squabbling over partisan affairs and give serious attention to the fiscal affairs of the government. The United States cannot go on indefinitely borrowing on a ninety day basis and spending the
appropriation in sixty days. The day of reckoning will come sooner than we anticipate if the ruinous policy is not changed immediately. Every business is run on a budget system. It is high time that our congress adopted a federal budget in which the expenditures will be limited by the estimated income of the revenue. Under the present system, appropriations are made by a committee and revenue bills drafted by another. Heads of bureaus and departments have come to depend upon special and emergency appropriations to supply the money they expend in excess of the regular appropriations. Instead of making their departments stay within the appropriation limit, they depend upon extra appropriations to cover their deficits. Government officials are preaching thrift and economy to the American people. It is strikingly inconsistent for the treasury department to send out tons of thrift literature when the bureaus and departments at Washington spend the people's money lavishly and unsystematically. If the
people are asked to deny themselves luxuries, to
curtail personal expenses, to save right and left,
it is reasonable to expect the government to set a good example by the most rigid economy in its own household.
THB GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK
SKETCH-MAKERS The sketches of an artist are clever and interesting but not important. For, if an artist spent his lite making sketches, simply, he would never become known as an artist His friends would tell him ear tickling things but his fame would be hidden behind the Never. Along the avenues of the Everyday, you will note on street corners and sitting at the porch of alleys the sketch-makers! The sketch-makers are just dabblers that's all. I have wlaked into great stores and offices and said to myself: "What a lot of sketch-makers here!" For I could not see the color of the leader, who made the business, in the eyes of the workers. The artist makes his sketch merely to get his bearings for a great picture. Then he throws his sketch away. Make all the sketches you want to till the germ of the great Idea looms in front of your soul--but at that time, with fire in your heart and steel in your will, take up your brushes and paint your real masterpiece! You can be an Artist why be content tobe a sketch-maker? Go ahead and flirt wiht Fame all you want to. Show her your sketches. Drink into your imagination the golden ray from her eyes, and touch the sound of her voice to the vibrant strings of your heart but produce, produce something real great and worthy if you would have her undying love5 YOU be important. Swetch-makers are not!

"What's in a Name?"
Facts about your name: Its history; its meaning", whence It was derived; its significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel. BY MILDRED MARSHALL
(Copyright, 1919, by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) RACHEL One of the loveliest of Biblical names is Rachel, meaning ewe. The first Rachel was the daughter-in-law of Rebekah. The aspirate in the middle of her name is more softly marked where, in the prophet Jeremiah, her descendants, the Benjamite women, who dwelt around her early grave at Bethlehem, are spoken of as "Rahel weeping for her children because they are not," and are assured that they Bhall come again to their own border. But she is Rachel again where Saint Matthew shows the mothers of Bethlehem weeping over their lambs. Dante made l'antlca Rachele with her beautiful eyes, the type of heavenly contemplation ever gazing at the mir
ror that reflected heavenly glory, but her name was not popular, although the Manx Princess Africa was thus translated upon her marriage with Soraerled, Lord of the Isles, somewhere about the eleventh century. But Puritan days loved the sound of the word and "that sweet saint who sat by Russell's side" has given it a place in English families. Rahel was the name borne by the lady who became the wife of Varuhagen von Ense. With the exception of the two different forms of spelling, Rachel is without diminutive of contraction. It is one of the few names that maintains Its sweetness and dignity throughout its history. The name lias been a favorite with painters and many a saintly type of pure Iranscendant beauty has been so named. Rachel's gem is the amethyst. Its eoft, violet color has a sobering effect upon Quick tempers, controls evil thoughts and quickens the intelligence. Soldiers wearing an amethyst are said to be preserved from harm, and the gem is believed to have the power to protect its wearer from contagion. To dream of it signifies freedom from harm. Saturday is Rachel's lucky day and 4 her lucky number. Her flower is the primrose, signifying youthfulness. Copyright, 1919, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.
awarded was the chemistry prize, which went to Prof. Fritz Habed, of Berlin university. Did he receive this for inventing poison gas? We note that a banquet has just been held In Pittsburg "in honor of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, discoverer of the North Pole." Probably there are some people who still believe the world is flat. Autos killed 636 In New York state in nine months. Only two deaths from toadstools in that time. It is safer to eat toadstools than to cross the street. One man says he is going to live to be 400 years old on a diet of raw oats, rice and olive oil. Four years of that would be enough for almost anybody. He is a glutton for punishment. A consular report says that 15,000,000 human beings live In Mexico. What d'ye mean, human beings?

Says Tanlac Put Him on His Feet After Everything Else
Had Failed. i j "For years I have not been able to work a single day but now since I have taken Tanlac I have gone back to work and never miss a day," was the statement made the other day by! J. S. Brewer, a well known architect j and building contractor, who lives at 4300 Brooklyn avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. " I had ben in bad health for five years before I began taking Tanlac, troubled with indigestion, catarrh, and
a general run-down condition," continued Mr. Brewer. "I had a poor appetite and indigestion troubled me so bad that I could eat hardly a thing that would agree with me, and gas would form so bad that it pressed against my heart and caused it to
palpitate terribly and at times I could i
hardly get my breath. I had a bad case of catarrh of the head and all the time I would have a stifled, uncomfortable feelinp; and sometimes I would have awful dizzy spells. I could never sleep well at night and I became so weak and run-down that other troubles set in and it just looked like my health would break completely down, so I gare up my work altogether and for the past four years I have been taking all kinds of medicines and treatments in an effort to regain my health. "I spent over five hundred dollars, but nothing seemed to do me any good and at last I made up my mind to give Tanlac a trial, as I had read where so many people right here in Kansas City had taken it with fine results. Well, sir, I began to improve right away and by the time I had taken four bottles my troubles had left me and I had gone back to work feeling fine. I have a splendid appe tite and everything I eat agrees with nie perfectly and my breathing is free and regular. The catarrh has left ray head and I am no longer bothered
with dizzy spells and my other trou- j bles have disappeared. I sleep fine at I night, never have that tired-out feel- j ing, but I am in better health than j I have been in five years. I am more: than pleased to recommend Tanlac, for It has put me back on my feet after everything else had failed." Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite; in Greensfork by C. D. Sorniue; in Cambridge City by Mr. Dean House; in Pershing by Sourbeer & Rodenberg; in CentervlUe by Cen-j terville Pharmacy, and in Milton by W. I Parkins. Adv. . J

MAN'S OWN POISON CAUSES RHEUMATISM, SAYS AUTHORITY Smashes Many FooHshFaflacies The Idea That Eating Meat Causes Rheumatism is No Longer Accepted Should Keep the Poisons Moving Out.
"Man poisons himself by the absorption of certain substances that should be eliminated this is the cause of so much rheumatism," is the statement of well known authority. Many pet theories about rheumatism of the joints, that is chronic arthitis. have been smashed during the last few years. The old idea of meat causing rheumatism is ridiculous; just think of tha large number of vegetarians who suffer from rheumatism, these people never oat meat. Cases have been known where people living entirely without meat were great sufferers from rheumatism. These people would go so loDg without meat they would become so weak, they would not have sufficient strength to throw off the disease. Just as soon as they began eating meat, once a day they began to improve, and with the help of a good medicine like Dreco, were well in a short time. Groat harm has been done by the ordinary rheumatism medicines because they not only disturb the stomach, but often fail to relieve the pain or contain something that relieves th" pain for the time being, and the disease is as bad or worse after taking such medicine.
There a great many medicines on the market for rheumatism, but do you remember seeing anything about I taking care of rheumatism of the joints after the patient has had the ; disease for several years. Dreco is a remedy that many sufI ferers take after they have tried about everything else for rheumatism. : No c!r !m is made that one bottle or j two will cure the diseaae, but it re- ! moves every particle of stiffness and every twinge of pain if you keep it ; up. I Mr. D. H. Fulton, postoffice box. 820, I Detroit, Mich., says "I know what Dreco has accomplished where the i joints were swollen. I know what j Dreco has accomplished for dry joints I so dry that they creaked when going j up or down stairs. I know what Dreco i has accomplished for actual cripples. I walking on canes or crutches. It has ! made these people well and happy, j and should do the same for you. I want every rheumatism sufferer to go i today and get a bottle of Dreco." j Mr. Powers, the well known reco I expert, has headquarters at Thlstlethj waie's Drug Store, to meet the local I public and explain the merits of thl3 great remedy.
