The extraordinary popularity of fine

choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

makes half the usual quantity of Starch

As we gather today with spring Aow-
eTs to do reverance to the heroes who
have gone we must look back that half
a century to review those scenes Of
conflict.
The cannon that then dealt death and
destruction are today moss covered and
buried beneath the debris Of the battle
fields Of old.
Time has healed the ravages Of war,
and covered with a softening hand the
evidences Of that four years Of warfare.
But we have the remaining gray-haired
veterans, and the graves of those passed
away, to remind US of the valor Of
Columbia's pms
The generation Of today has not for
gotten, and the generations yet unborn
will not forget, the care due these final
resting places Of a nations dead.
We scatter flowers upon them in token
Of our appreciation Of their services to
their country Of yesterday. our country
Of today.
Whatever their place in life, whatever
their station, whatever their fortune, they
are deserving of equal honor at Jul
hands.
And unto them a grateful nation has
dedicated this day; a day on which we,
with freshest flowers, pay tribute to the
memory Of the nations heroes.

MRS.NELLlE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable m often on
the verge of Mysteries, is a source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive nus
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the ervou prostra-
ton, v dependency, t h c
blues, sleeplessness, and nervous
irritabilitY of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains, nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If so,
your rye r in a shattered on
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.

number that went to the Commercial

It's a very painful subject to dis

located at this point the town did not
have more than two thousand inhab-

Of block for sTO0 which / bought
for sl50 The toWn has more than
doubled its population and there are
10 vacant houses in the entire place.
There is an average of over S25 a
month spent in town for each board
ing student. Pupils pay board, buy
clothing, books, pay doctors fees,
support the livery stables and in fact
money goes into every avenue Of
trade The teachers salaries are
paid but those salaries are spent in
the community. Ouachita college has
nearly 400 boarders each year and
Pr reasonable estimate the college
brings to the town through its stud
eints and the families who reside here
for the benefit Of the school at least
100000. It is safe to say that every
one hundred boarders will spand in
any community $4,000 a year. 4
