The ola superstition ol tucuhing wood is s tid to have shown itsell re cently in the liritish house uo conlinllnOI' when P ermier Asquith was nxikiug a ci speech 'n whvirh hit referred to the Iri i n s. . ets of the British in the it great wuoia ct transporting troops to p the French and I,.lkan tronts. As he ( indulged in a tribute to the admiralty, Mr. Halfour, wilo is first lord of that important bramn-. of defense, leaned Ior ward fhorn his seat and knocked softly a on the w:joI of the clerk's desk. Thea custom is said to date back to the early days when pag'anism prevailed in I·.I gland, and the wood of the oak, the ash and row trees was considered sacred. In parts of England on May day crosses made from these woods are hung over the doors of the housei to gu;:rd against the visitation of niischiveus fairies. -- ,e- - Food for Reflection. Those digrtuntled democrats-demo crats for otHtce only- who ha ve aiigned themselves with the repi)ubliicanpro gressive candidate or governor in the hope of receivi'ng a reward in case John M. Parker should be elected governor would do ~ell to ponder section a otf Act 133 of 1900, which says, among other things: "No one who participates in the pri. mary elettlon of any political party shall........ . within tour years thereaiter be capableof holding an aup pointive office as the apIacintee ot any official not belonging to the poltical party in whose primary election he tfrt participated." 1'is law is still upon the statute b )oks of Lousiana, placed there lor the purp.se of pre-erving the integrity ot the primary election system. It i,a a 'companion piece to the saction of the primary law of 1912 which caused Judge E. B. Dubuisson to withdraw his name as a candidate for attorney general on the Parker ticket-he participated in the democratic primary of January 25th and was estopped from opposing that primary's nominee for attorney get:er al. It is equally plain that any man who participated in the primary of Jan uary 25th is estopped from holding an appointive office under any official who was nominated by another political par. ty.

BOURGEOIS. Think it Over. Young men and women desiring to achieve a success should not waste their summer vacation. One vacation properly spent will protect them against poverty and enable them to earn a respectiul living. There is no use idling away the summer months. Business men and farmers alike, work during the summer. Ambitious boys and girls would rather spend their vac ca.tion with a large and enthusiastic student body, mastering a course of A Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Telegraphy, U Bnsiness Administration and Finance or Cotton Classing that they might use this practical knowledge in paying position in a business office. He who cares more for success than beat, goes a long ways ahead of him who waits until cool weather to study. Many a young boy or girl who at the close of school last year, entered the Tyler Commerical College of Tyler, Texas, to send their vacation, are either in one of our large universities, paying their own way, or holding a splendid posi tion, or are in business for themselves. Where there's a will there's a way. Cowardice sits and whines, I can't. Courage forces success. If you desire to obtain a knowledge for which the business world readily pays cash, write for large illustrated free catalogue of the Tyler Commerical College, read the advantages of their splendid courses of instruction and what those who have grauuated and now holding good posi tion, say of the institution; and what the employers of these graduates say of their efficient training. Read how some worked their way through school how others borrowed the money and made it p.cy them big dividends, how others quit jubs at smrll salaries, com plett:d :heir courses and went back to the same flin at two and three times their p e':ious salary, Get a salary r_ g t"tmucation. It is yours if you are wlahng to make the effort. \\ rite tod.ay or catalogue and makes arrange ments to enter as soon as your school closes. The U. S. Government has held two examinations here in Tyler this spr,..g euabbhlg our graduates to go into uce civil service positions at en trance .alary of from $900 to $1020. The Tyler Commerical College build ing is one of the largest most sanitary, best lighted and vennilated, in the state; it is an ideal place for summer ( work. More than five hundred stud ents profitably spend their vacation there every summer. Keep Your Bowels Regular. As everyone knows, the bowels are I the seweyage system of the body, and is o: the greatest importance that they ,e once each day. If y, u, hbn e '',, ., o.2 i c8P·t1 l ,tc(l, Id ;.
