Rules Jefferson Lived By The hundred and sixty-eighth anni versary of the birth of Thomas Jef ferson was celebrated with a big ban quet in Indianapolis April 13. In this connection Jefferson’s ten rules of life, which follow, will be of interest: 1. Never put off till tomorrow what rou can do today. 2. Never trouble another for what rou can do yourself. 3. Never spend money before you have It. 4. Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap; It will be dear ;o you. 5. Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst and cold. 6. We never repent of having eaten too little. 7. Nothing is troublesome that we jo willingly. 8. How much pain have cost'us the avils which have never happened. 9. Take things away by their imooth handle. 10. When angry, count ten becore rou speak; if very angry, a hun dred. Here are some of the great prin ciples of government advocated by Mr. Jefferson in his first inaugural ad dress, March 4, 1801: Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state of persuasion, re ligious of political. Peace, commerce and honest friend ship with all nations, entangling alli ances with none. The support of the state govern ments in all their rights as the most Grave of the Author of the Declaration of Independence. competent administrations for our do mestic concerns and the surest bul warks against anti-republican tenden cies. The preservation of the general gov ernment in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad. A jealous care of the right of elec tion by the people. A mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution, where peaceable remedies are unprovided. Absolute acquiescence In the deci sions of the majority, the vital princi ples of republics, from which there is no appeal but to force the vital principle and immediate parent of des potism. A well disciplined militia, our best reliance and for the first moments of war until regulars may relieve them. The supremacy of the civil over the military authority—economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burdened. The honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith. The diffusion of Information and ar raignment of all abuses at the bar of public reason. Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of habeas corpus. Trial by juries impartially elected. “These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before no, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their at tainment; they should be the creed of our political faith; the text of civic Instruction; the touchstone by which to try the service of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to re gain the road which alone leadß to peace, liberty and safety." "The Fourth." "A century and more has passed, and as the foundations of this govern ment are more firmly settled, as the structure roared by the fathers now ■pans the continent from ocean to ocean; and has victoriously establish ed its right to be, political liberty has ceased to be the mere dream of the enthusiast, and has become the every day fact of the men of thought and ao don In the world.

My trou ble began In splotches breaking out right in the edge of my hair on the forehead, and spread over the front part of the top of my head from ear to ear, and over my ears which caused a mos* fearful burning Itch, or eczema. “For three years I had this terrible breaking out on my forehead and scalp. I tried our family doctor and he failed to cure it. Then I tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment and used them for two months with the result of a complete cure. Cutlcura Soap and Ointment should have the credit due, and I have advised a lot of peo ple to use them." (Signed) C. D. Tharrlngton, Creek, N. C., Jan. 26,1911.

I went to more than one doctor, but could not get any relief, so I started to use the Cuticura Remedies. I tried one bar of Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment, and felt relieved right away. Now the bald 6pots nave disappeared, and my balr has grown, thanks to the Cuti cura Soap and Ointment. I highly recommend the Cutlcura Remedies to all that are suffering with scalp trou ble."
