Importance of Healthy Kid
neyS.
Edgefield Readers Should Learn
to Keep the Kidneys Well.

The kidneys have big work to
do. All the blood in the body is
coursing through the kidneys con-
stantly to be freed Hof poisonous
matter. 1t is a heavy enough task
when the kidneys are well, but a
cold, chill, fever or some thought
less exposure is likely to irritate, in
flame and congest the kidneys and
interrupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently be-
gins and is often accompanied by
some irregularity of the urine-too
frequent passages, sediment or re-
tention. Thousands testify to the
wonderful merit of Doan's kidney
pills, remedy for the kidneys only
that has ZEN used in kidney troub-
les SO yeas. You will make no mis-
take in following this Edgeheld
citizens advice.
Mrs. J. T. Pattison, EdgeGeld,
S. c., says: Il have given Doan's
kidney pills thorough trial and |
know them to be splendid kidney
remedy. On several occasions used
them and received lasting relief
from kidney trouble. | do not hesi-
tate to recommend this remedy as
the best one l know of for kidney
complaint.

Haul Guano Now.

Guano hauling has begun and
doubtless the movement will be
very heavy while the roads are
good. There is no better time than
right now TO do heavy hauling.
Getting the guano on the farm ear
" will give the stock an opportuni-
ty to rest before the regular plow-
ing season begins. If it is possible
haul your guano at once.

Mr.. E. S. Dunbar presided over
very spiritual and helpful Y. M.
G. A. service last Sunday night.
After prayer by Capt. Cain and the
reading Of Daniel 1, Mr.. Orlando
Sheppard delivered an eloquent,
forceful and right to the mark"
address on Fixed purposes. One
of the many good things Mr.. Shep-
pard said was that every young

wherewith to view life from. The
singing Of song and a prayer by
Capt. Taylor closed this, one of our
best, services.
DR.. Jefries again favored us
with talk last week.
Mr.. Bailey conducted chapel de-
votionals Friday morning and gave
a splendid talk. His subject which
he ably discussed was Feeling

Quite a gloom was cast over the
whole school by the reading of a
special order dismissing cadets 0.
F. Brasington and Wadsworth
from the school last Wednesday
for willfully breaking barracks dur
ing night study hour and absentlng
themselves from p. m. chapel, The
cadets offered no excuse for so do
ing and by a unanimous vote of
the faculty they were dismissed.
Not a little excitement was caused
last Tuesday week by the discovery
Of fire at the graded school. Smoke
and flames were seen issuing from
one corner of the roof but by the
help of The rest of the cadets, ca
det Kearse succeeded in extinguish-
ing it.
1t seems that the Parcel Post
System is very popular even with
the teachers, for a map and mouse

Genesis of Men of Straw.

Mr.. Engelbach, an English author,
in a new volume on humors of the
law, relates the following queer bit
of history:
Some years ago men used to walk
about openly in Westminster hall with
a piece of straw in their boots. By this
sign attorneys knew that such persons
were in want of employment as false
witnesses, and would give any evil
dence required for money. For in
stance, if an advocate wanted an
obliging witness he would go to one
of these men and show him a fee,
which if not sufficient, the witness
would not take any notice of it. The fee
was then increased until it's weight
recalled the power of memory to a
sufficient extent. BY this they derived
their name, Men of Straw "-Har-

Among these the Rock of Gibraltar
stands pre-eminent. In the course of
500 years it stood some fifteen sieges;
some of them among the most notable
In history.
With the ancients it was Calpe, n
Of the pillars of Hercules, the other
being the hill called Abyla, near

except for the Phoenicians, for cen

because it was the place where they
first set foot on Spanish soil, and
Gebel Tarik, the Hill Of Tarik, from
their leader, Tarik ibn-Zeyad; 1t is,
of course, this second name that has
remained.
However, it was not until the begin

Diesel Enuined Vessel,

The ship Hagen, which is the larg-

by Diesel oil engines, recently made
her trial trip in the lower New York
bay. The vessel, which was built for
the Standard Oil company, measures
400 feet over all and has a displace-
ment Of $3.50 tons. She is equipped
with two six-cylinder Dissel engines of
two-cycle type, adapted to develop
2,400 horsepower, at 40 revolutions a
minute. At sea the steering engine
is driven by compressed air. When
nearing port, steam from a donkey
boiler is used in the steering engine.
The vessel is lighted by electricity and
the living quarters are heated by a
hot water system, the water being
heated by the main exhaust of the
engine. During the test the vessel ran
at about II knots.

AMONG THE HEAVY EATERS
Remarkable Gastronomie Feats That
Are Hardly 6sIlevabIe, Though
All Authenticated.

Champion Fried Egg Eater of the
Berkshires was the title Of Louis
Morris of Housatanic, Mass, before he
entered in a recent egg eating contest
on a wager. He had a record Of %
eggs and the wager was on his con-
tention that he could easily increase
this record to rs. When he reach
ed the seventeenth egg he was seized
with an attack of acute Indigestion
and a doctor worked over him for an
hour before he was restored to con-
seriousness and pronounced out of dan
ger. He also has a record for 81 ears
Of green corn.
At the beefsteak dinners Of many
political clubs astounding records are
made in the consumption of viands.
Some of those who take part think
nothing Of eating 10 and IL pounds
of meat at the sitting. At one
clambake held at College Point re-
Gently eight baskets of food were eat
en by n diner. This basket includ-
ed a leg and a breast of a chicken,
rs clans, two ears of corr and four
potatoes. This record is declared &C.
curate and authentic and is posted up
in an East side club room.
A Rhode Island farmer had a rec
ord of half a bushel of walnuts, of
which he was extraordinarily fond.
He used half a bag of salt while eat
ing them. A New Jersey blacksmith
On a recent wager ate nearly a peck
and a half of cherries. He said he
could go on eating forever" as he
put it, but those who witnessed his
feat declared they had seen enough to
prove the eater a wonder. A Chicago
man Unfortunately fond of mush and
milk, lived on it for a week not long
ago, eating four great bowlfuls Of it
three times a day.
