previously been reported at South

it was found on new trees which had

1909, was the suit of. Alice E. Waugh

the issues of the case were made up

the couple must have patched up their
troubles as the case was suddenly
dropped and from term to term moth
ing was done with it until today.
The other case filed in April, 1909.
and dismissed Tuesday at the cost of
the plaintiff was the complaint of D. l..

ELDERLY FOLKS! CALOMEL, SALTS
AND CATHART|CS AREN'T FOR YOU.
Harmeless gentle Syrup of Figs is best cleanse your
stomach liver and 80 feet of bowels of sour bile
decaying food gases and cl0gged up waste.

You old people, Syrup of Figs is
particularly for you. You who don't
exercise as much as you need to; who
like the easy chair. You whose steps
are slow and whose muscles are less
elastic. You must realize that your
liver and ten yards of bowels have
also become less active.
Don't regard Syrup of Figs as ply
sic. 1t stimulates the liver and bowels
just as exercise would, do it if you
took enough of it. 1t is not harsh like
salts or cathartics. The help which
Syrup of Figs gives to a torpid liver
and weak, sluggish bowels is harm
less, natural and gentle.
When eyes grow dim you help them.
Do the same with your liver and
bowels when age makes them less
active. There is nothing more i'm
portant. Costive, clogged-up bowels
mean that decaying, fermenting food
is clogged there and the pores or
ducts in these thirty feet of bowels

Even Most Chronic Sufferers Fin
Relief After A Few Doses
Are Taken.

Backache, urinary disorders, and
rheumatism, are caused from weak,
inactive kidneys, which fail to filter
out the impurities and keep the blood
pure, and the only way on earth to
permanently and positively cure such
troubles, is to remove the cause.
The new discovery, Croxone, cures
such conditions because it reaches the
very roots of the disease. 1t soaks
right into the stopped up, inactive
kidneys, through the walls and lin
ings; cleans out the little filtering
cells and glands; neutralizes and dis
solves the poisonous uric acid sub
stances that lodge in the joints and
muscles to scratch and irritate and
cause rheumatism: it neutralizes the
urine so it no longer irritates the
tender membranes of the bladder, and

LADIES, TAKE NOTICE.
Difference Between Grace and Ora
ciousness.

Difference Between Grace and Ora
ciousness.
Many women now are striving for
grace They are determined to be
graceful. Grace used to be considered
spontaneous, but now we know how
to capture it by strenuous effort.
Physical culture claims thousands Of
votaries, and the clumsiest muscles
are trained to supply harmony. Any
woman who chooses can be graceful.
She can decide to walk, dance, sit and
stand gracefully. But when she has
achieved grace she too often forgets
graciousness.
For one thing, there are no classes
in graciousness in the women's clubs.
Yet it is more important surely to have
a graceful mind than graceful body.
Graciousness is the charming way of
doing things, the sure path to lovely
influence over others.
Like grace. it is not necessarily a
birth gift by the fairies. 1t can be
captured and needs only will.
It's essential element is consideration
for others. a consideration which must
be practiced till it extends even to a
fractions cook or a surly plumber.
The women for whom it is a pleas
ure to work-how they keep their
cooks and conquer their plumbers!
The gracious women whom young peo-
pie admire, whom old people turn to
how enviable they are.
Why not be one of them?
