Times Have CHANGED.

How times have changed! When
we were young, people had bad colds,
soaked their feet in hot water and got
we'll. Now they have grip, take qui-
nine and feel sick all over. Then
they had sore throat, wrapped piece
of fat pork in an old sock, tied it
around the neck at night and went to
work the next morning. Now they
have tonsilitis, surgical operation
and two weeks in the house. Then
they had stomach ache and took cas-
tor oil and recovered. Now they have
appendicitis, week in the hospital
and six feet due east and west and
six feet perpendicular. They worked
then; they labor now. In those days
they wore underclothes; now they
wear lingerie. Then they went to d
restaurant; now they 60 to a cafe.
Then they broke a leg; now they frac-
ture limb. People went crazy then;
they have brain storm now. Poll
ticians then paid good hard cash for
support; now they send government
garden seeds. Yes, times have chang
ed, and we all change with times.
That's progression.-Ancil Katten in

Obituary..

Arthur Clarence Ballentine was
born May 1, 1885, and died September
6, 1908. He was baptized in infancy
and in his early manhood united with
Salem NJ. e. Church, South, in Lex
ington county.
While on visit to his sister and
brother-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Wise,
at Gilbert, he was taken sick with
typhoid fever from which he neverre-
covered. His devoted father, brother
and sister were with him, more or
less, during his sickness.
All that could be done or suggested
by his loved ones was cheerfully per-
formed by them, while kind, skillful
and faithful physicians ministered to
him to the extent of their ability, but
all to no avail He seemed to be
marked for death from the beginning.
He told his sistsr that whether he
lived or died he had made peace with
his God. What a comfort to loved
ones is this assurance!
Arthur being the baby boy was
very tenderly loved, and it was like
tearing out heart strings to give him
up. May the blessed Lord comfort
and support these dear ones in their
gre 1t sorrow, and may they all meet
him in that bright world above.

It's pity when sick ones drug the
stomach or stimulate the Heart and
Kidneys. That is all wrong! A weak
Stomach, means weak Stomach nerves,
always. And this is also true of the
Heart and Kidneys. The weak nerves
are instead crying ont for help. This
explains why DR.. Shoop's Restorative
is promptly helping Stomach, Heart and
Kidney ailments. The Restorative
reaches out for the actual cause of these
ailments-the failing "inside nerves"

will surely know that help is coming.

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs Of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years Id
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and eftica-
cious than any combination Of drugs.
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's Ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, Of SIS NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public:
"For twelve years had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time 1 had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
Stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
twill do for other suffering women.
