Stanton Picket: The Fremont
Commercial club and other com

advocating strongly the plan of cutt
ing out all illegitimate advertising

tising. The towns and cities that are
known on the map are those that

slow ly; these cranks for speed are fools
indeed; their conduct Is unholy.”

frantic speed to revel, and people said
the old man’s head was noticeably
level. For quite a week old Parr was
meek and slow and mighty cautious,
and then he said: “We’ll put ahead a
bit or folks will josh us.” But careful
still he ran down hill and courted no
disaster for one week more, and then
he tore along a little faster. A month
was gone. “So help me John,” old
Parr was sadly drawling, “I don’t like
speed—I don’t Indeed—but we are
merely crawling! I didn’t get this
car to fret along like this, dod gast us!
So lot her rip along this trip—the
snails are whizzing past ust He woke
in bed with bandaged head and, docs
ar.d nurses hanf y, and ere he died he
sweetly sighed "That auto is a
dandy i”

Take Plenty of Time to Eat .
There is a saying that “rapid eating
is slow suicide.’’ If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you
are most likely Buffering from in
digestion or constipation, which will
result eventually in serious illness un
less corrected. Digestion begins in
the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insalivat
ed. Then when you have a fullness of
the stomach qr feel dull and stupid
after eating, take one of Cham
berlain’s Tablets. Many severe cases
of stomach trouble and constipation
have been cured by tne use of these
tablets. They are easy to take and
most agreeable in effect. For sale by
all dealers. Adv.
