WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their UnceasIng Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes thr'o
the kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys filter the blood. They work
night and day. When healthy they re-
move about 500 grains of impure mat
ter daily, when unhealthy some part Of
this impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and symp--
toms pain in the back, headache, ner-
vousness, hot, dry, akin, rheumatism,
govt, gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart.
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.

ATHENS REPORTS
 BIG COTTON THEFT
Sheriff Henderson Goes to St. Louis After Prisoners Hut One Makes His Escape

Athens. December S.-(Special) The
 first cotton stealing of the season for this county was disclosed this week
 when Capt Dave Yarbrough reported
 to the cotton buyers here that three bales. had been stolen from his gin at , Pettey, 14 miles west of Athens, one
 bale belonging to Capt James Dement,
 and two to Yarbrough. The cotton was sold here to a local buyer by q
 neghbor of Captain Yarbrough named
 Hunt and he was accompanied by a
 man who gave his name as Howard.
 They reached Athens early Friday
 morning, sold the cotton before the banks opened and were ready for home
 soon. The cotton was located at the
 compress in Decatur and Hunt has been
 arrested and Is now being held until
 his confederate is captured. Hunt took the money. 1t is claimed. and paid a debt he owed to a son-in-law of Cap-
 tain Yarbrough, w. T. Clay. The theft
 was a bold one and 1t was several days before 1t was discovered.
 Sheriff Henderson Legg went to St. Louis this week after two negro mur- derers who escaped jail here in Mag.
 They were, captured by the St. Louis police, being turned up by some Athens negro who knew them. He got his men and started for Athens with them. When this side of Nashville one claimed that the bracelet was hurting his wrist and asked the sheriff to loosen it a little. The sheriff compiled and 1t is presumed that he did not fasten 1t tight enough, for while dozing the negro worked 1t loose and. after pass ing Pulaski, he swung off the fast
 moving train, making his escape. The negro was Jake Reynolds. The other negro was named Charles Parkham. They were wanted for murder. one at
 Belle Nina and the other near Decatur. The business changes to be made In the first of the new year do not leave vacant business house in Ath- ems. Several new firms will open up and others are seeking locations, but there are no vacant houses.
