ladies to start a booth for the sale
of some of the goods dealt in by ono
of the big mail order houses of the
east. 1t appears that this firm has
made proposition to various church
and other organizations in which la
dies are active, that they will furnish
them $50 worth of any articles they
may select from q long list for $40
or at a 80 per cent discount from the
list prices-when no premiums are
desired. One member put the case
this way 10 a Bulletin representative
yesterday:
we feel that nm injustice is being
done to us as citizens of Cairo When
the ladies' of Cairo churches or other
organizations undertake to raise mon
ey for any Of the worthy projects they
undertake they come to Us for cont.!-
buttons and we always give as libcr-
alIy as we can to aid them, then We
patronize their entertainments, and
help them in every way to make their
UNDERTAKINGS financially and other
wise successful We feel that we arc
entitled to consideration in return n
the matter Of supplying their house

Tau of which we pay here, the money
being spent by those we pay it to tor
other purposes and serving in various
ways to develop the city. OF course,
we could not blame the ladies much ii
they saved any considerable amount

firms, but we feel that we can salts

in ignoring us The plan now on foot
is to have first one organization an1

church societies of the city, to con

goods, and it stands to reason that il

MANY ARE RELIEVED.
Tremendous Popularity Of the "Vege-
table Prescription"

That the readers of this paper APP
preciate advice when given in good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well-known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription" many times
within the past two weeks. The an
nouncement of this simple, harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many
cases of kidney complaint and rheu-
matism here, relieving pain and mis-
cry, especially among the older popu-
lation, who are always suffering more
or less With bladder and urinary trou-
bles, backache and particularly rheu-
matism.
Another well known druggist asks
US to continue the announcement of
the escription. 1t is doing so much
real god here, he continues, that 1t
would be a crime not to do so. 1t
can not be repeated too often, and
further states many cases of remark
able cures wrought.
The following is the prescription
of simple ingredients, making
harmless, inexpensive compond, that
any person can prepare by shaking
well in bottle: Fluid extrast DAN
delion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
SaIsaparilla, three ounces. Any first
class drug store will sell this small
amount of each ingredient, and the
dose for adults is one teaspoonful
to be taken after each meal and again
at bedtime. There is enough here
to last for one week, If taken &C.
cording to directions. Good results
will be apparent from the first few
doses.
