YOU CAN HAVE A WEALTH
OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR

. Nothing equals an aureole of beauti-
full hair as a frame for a pretty face
Without background of nice hair a
really pretty face frequently becomes
plain and, with it, unattractive features
assume life and beauty.
Every woman can increase her natu-
raj charm by using Newbro's Herpi-
eide. Herpicide makes the hair beauti-
full. The dandruff germ saps the VI
tally of the hair. Herpicide applied
intelligently and regularly checks this
destruction of hair life and prevents
the hair from falling out, giving it a
snap and luster, soft, silky fiuffiness
which can be acquired in no other
way.
Newbro's Herpicide in SOC and $1.00
sizes is guaranteed to do all that IS
claimed. If you are not satisfied your
money will be refunded.
Applications may be obtained at the
best barber ships and hair dressing
parlors. Howell's Pharmacy, Howell
Prather Drug Co, Windsor Pharmacy,
Special Agents.

rain TILL'NEEDED
IN some SECTIONS
DFOuth Not Yet Entirely
Broken

While copious rains have fallen re-
Gently in Americas and vicinity, as
well as in nearly every section of the
county, there are yet some few locali-
ties in which drouth still prevails. In
the Andersonville neighborhood there
has been no rain of consequence, AMI
the crops are suffering greatly.
Near Sumter, ten miles south CT
Americas, the same conditions prevail
Mr.. J. L. Glawson was in the city
Thursday and stated that little rain
had fallen on his crops since April
LIST, with the exception of one light
shower last week, which was scarcely
sufficient to settle the dust
The corn crop on his farm, Mr..
Glawson said, was decidedly poor,
while the peach crop would be even
less than anticipated a month ago,
when he estimated it at 10 per cent.
Along Flint river, and in the vicinity
Of Plains, good rains have fallen this
week, and the crop prospect there is
much improved.

Suffered TWGDty-OnG Years.
Finally Found Relief

Having suffered for twenty-one years
with pain in my side, l finally have
found relief in DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. The physicians called it Moth
ers' Pain" and injections of morphine
were my only relief for short periods
of time. l became so sick that | had
to undergo a surgical operation in
New Orleans, which benefited me for
two years. When the same pain came
back one day. l was so sick that
gave up hopes of living. A friend ad-
cised me to try Swamp-Root and l al
once commenced using it. The first
bottle did me so much good that pur-
chased two more bottles. l am now
on my second bottle and am feeling
like a new woman. I passed a gravel
stone as large as big red bean and
several small ones. 1 have not had
the least feeling of pain since taking
your Swamp-Root and I feel it my duty
to recommend this great medicine to
all suffering humanity. Gratefully
yours

sible, sincere" wants wife of his own

luton as far as the altar | will be
agreeably surprised. He now thinks
woman of 40 would be the right age for
him.
Heaven forbid that | offend, but the
longer he fingers and looks the more
convinced he will be that a woman of
30 is at least ten years too old | want
him to find sane, sensible woman
who regards the love of one man as of
more value than the admiration of
many. | want him to find a duplicate
of the wife he lost, both in years and
tastes; but so innocent and guileless is
the man who finds himself at large aft
er years Of domestic restraint that it is
not safe to make any predictions.
If sincere" is serious. let him go 10
some nice, sensible woman; one VINO
knew and loved his wife, and who
knows just the sort of person who
will best take her place. Let him tell
her what he has told me, and the
match making instinct which exists in
all of her sex will awaken. and will
not sleep again till the wedding cake
has been cut.
Sincere" will not find his ideal wife
at public balls; he will never make her
acquaintance on street car or street
corner. She win not attempt to win
him by flirting or flattery. There is Sc
much of this nature Of which he must
beware when he goes wife, seeking that
l trembIe for him
Let him, urge, trust to the Offices Of
some good, kind friend. He may no;
fall violently in love with the sedate
plain looking candidate she marches
forth. but perhaps this will be all thu
better for him. The man who falls
violently in love loses his head; a mis-
fortune at a. tragedy at 40
He will, at least. be saved from the
overpainted and overpowdered creature
who is no more fit to be his wife than
the noisy and senseless magpie is fit to

HWhat's the Answer?H
BY Beatrice Eat,1ax

HCINCERE" writes me as follows;
Il am a widower in the for
ties. not wealthy. but with a
good income, within the automobile
class. | have led close home life
under the most ideal conditions, and
therefore can not aCcustom myself to
the present conditions in which / am
placed.
Il would gladly duplicate the life
lived before The acquaintance l
made, however, during these years are
families only, and being a modest man,
do not seem to fall within the cir
cles where | might meet single ladies
suited to my temperament The few
knew, and have since met have dis
appointed me greatly. Perhaps on ac-
count of the sheltered life ! have led
l hold too closely to former ideals
that may not be realized at my time
in life.
Il hold that ordinarily. a man of
my age should not marry a young
woman, as their sympathies could not
be alike on account of difference in
experience. yet there alone would the
ideal be realized. What's the answer"
sincere" is paying one of the many
penalties that are eXacted from every
one who lives in a large city If he
lived in a country town his friends
and neighbors among the womenkind
would have picked out his second
wife on their way back from the ceme-
terry. With a thrifty eye on his neg
lected linen and motherly feeling of
responsibility toward his children, they
would have agreed on some woman
who would be Just the one" to fill
the vacant place in his home. Then,
with the practiced ease and grace of
long experience in match making,
which conceas from no one its mo-
tives, they would bring things to pass
which would result in wedding.
sincere" doesn't say so, but his
plant indicates that he has no busy,
bustling friends among women. or
they may possess that inherent match
making instinct. but it is too con
gealed by the unfriendly atmosphere of
a large city to be capable of action.
Sincere" does right to take his
plight seriously The man whose mar
ried life has been ideal is truly a help
| less. unfortunate creature when left
| to travel alone. His opinions of all
womankind, based on the loved and
! loving wife who has left him, are
! idealized.
He is like a boy who has never seen
q counterfeit coin; he ISM looking for
one. he accepts all change handed him
without scrutiny or question, and is
the one upon whom bad coins are most
easily passed He is the helpless, be
wildered prey of all who seek the un-
wary, and no one realized more keen
| ly what his plight would be than the
| wife who was taken away. Could the
| last wish of many a dying wife be
| expressed and respected, the courts
would be called upon as often to APP
point guardians for bereaVed husbands
as for orphaned children.
