Badly sprained Ankle Cured

Three years ago our daughter sprained
her ankle and had been suffering terri
bly, for two days and nights-had not
slept minute. Mr.. Stallings, OF Butler
Tenn, told US of Chamberian's Pain
Balm. We went to the store that night
and got bottle of it and bathed her
ankle two or three times and she went
to sleep and had good nights rest.
The next morning she was much better
and in a short time could walk around
and had no more trouble with her ankle.

Not So Much

When you feel you're growing chesty,
That you're OF nobler birth
Than the rest of common mortals
That are rambling round the earth;
When your head is plainly swelling
With pure self-conceit and such,
Stop awhile and think it over,
Maybe you are not so much.
When you brag about your family,
And your blue ancestral blood,
When you feel you are far better
Than US common folks OF mud;
When you dream you own the entire
world,
And the moon you seek to clutch,
You had better cut the "hop" pipe,
For you may not be so much.
When you feel that you are better
Than your humble fellow man,
When you feel that you must lay out
Every other fellows plan;
Then's your time for disappearing,
Ere padded cell you touch,
Then forget your egotism,
Maybe you are not SO much.

making inquire as to when it was
probable an agent would come to in
spcct the different sites proposed. Tn
