Church Advertising.
The churches of Memphis are
considering the advisability of
inaugurating a public campaign.
It is a wise consideration. Pub
licity is the hand maiden of pro
gress and prosperity, and the
churches would do well to em-1
ploy the advertising columns of
the daily newspapers to further ,
their special messages.
Mercantile businesses, estab
lished on a sound basis of faith- j
ful service and honest values,
have grown to mammoth pro-,
portions by the use of wise ad
vertising.
Out of the religious life of the
nation flows the dynamic power
that creates ambitions, actual
izes ideals and gives force and
effect to the nation’s laws.
Trenchant voices of pulpit ora
tors in church, chapel and syna
gogue still ring with revivifying
messages of righteousness. Nor
have men ceased to give ear to
the wise counsels of men of God
whose hearts are attuned to the
divine harmonies. Agencies for
the varied activities of the
church have been multiplied and
perfected in a marvelous man
ner in recent years, yet it is cer
tain that pleasant days and pur
ring motors lure many to dis
tant places, who in former years
were wont to congregate at
VilUX VU V/il UliVXIAJ XHVXXlXXXgM# |
Modern conditions have caus-1
ed the pulpit to give much of its j
influence into the keeping of the '
press. The literary life of the
people finds its satisfaction not
in the erudite sermon of the vil
lage preacher, but in the col-.
umns of the daily paper. We do |
not claim this makes for the
betterment of all concerned—we
merely state the facts as they
exist today.
The eternal verities do not,
change- The truth of yester
years is the truth of the present. |
Time nor progress cannot trans- j
mute truth into error. How- j
ever, habits, customs and the
language of a people do change.
Words take on new meanings,
and new expressions are born in
a day. Mental processes do not
change, but they do need new
forms of expression.
Advertising is a new and vital
factor in modern life, born in
the last generation and grown
to maturity in the present. We
are glad that the churches of
Memphis are reaching out to
claim it. Churches in other cit
ies have found it of value. II
the church is to dominate the
life of the nation it must fight
with modern weapons.—Mem

Penalty Now On Motor Taxes.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Jan. 13.—State
Highway Commissioner R. G.
Dye Has notified the sheriffs of
the state that the time for the
payment of motor vehicle li
cense for 1914 without penalty
has expired, and that the penal
ty of $3 may be imposed now at
the discretion of the sheriffs.
Early in December all automo
bile owners were notified that
they would have until Jan. 10 to
pay the license without penalty.
Persons operating a car without
license tags conspicuously dis
played, front and rear, will be
subject to a fine of $25 besides
that payment of $10 tax and $3
penalty.
However, Mr. Dye suggests
that an additional two weeks be
allowed for the payment- He
says: “I make this request be
cause the idea seems yet to pre
vail that the license tax levied
on motor vehicles is something
new and the further fact that
there has been much confusion
heretofore as to when the tax
was really due and payable
among automobile owners.
“While there can be no ques
tion about the authority of tax
collectors to insist on the pay
ment of the penalty and to add
all the costs incident to the col
lection of the tax on delinquent
cars, and of peace officers to ar
rest the drivers of cars operat
ing the same without the regis
tration tags displayed as requir
ed by law, permit me to suggest
that the penalty be remitted
and not claimed until after the
24th of this month.”
Statistics After February 1.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Jan. 13.—Secre
tary Morgan Smith of the State
Board of Health announces that
the Board's Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics will be established Feb. 1.
Registrars have been appointed
in each county under the terms
of the law, and full supplies of
blanks are being furnished them.
Under the law the registrars are
paid 25 cents for each birth and
each death certificate, the
amount due each being certified
at the end of the year to the
county fund.
On February 1 the Board’s
regulation requiring the wrap
ping of all bread sold will be
come effective. The Board has
also made regulations for indi
vidual towels and cups in bar
ber shops, but the enforcement
depends upon the city health of
ficials as the State Board has no
inspectors. No attention is be
ing paid to the barber shop reg
ulation in Little Rock.

Little Rock, Jan- 13.—The fol
lowing additional reserve agent

SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Of Mrs. Chappell, of Fire Tear**
Standing, Relieved by Cardui.
Ml Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: “I suttered for
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the. wo
man’s tonic, nd I decided to try it. I
had not taken out about six bottles until
I was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines 1 had
fried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and 1 tola them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it”
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache.
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
won’t regret if. All druggists.
