ROAD TO HEALTH IS
THROUGH The KIDNEY

No person alive is stronger than his
kidneys. The minute the kidneys be-
come disarranged or clogged with waste
the warning is flashed throughout the
entire system. The greater part of all
sickness today can be avoided by keep
ing the kidneys working properly.
Fisher Bros. the popular druggists,
can tell you of many well-known peo-
pie in this city whom Solvax, the stand
ard kidney remedy, has restored to
health, often after they have tried
other methods of treatment with little
or no better.
This remarkable kidney remedy is
guaranteed to help the worst case of
lazy, slu ggish. or clogged-up kidneys,
or the general headachy, kinkybacked,
played-out condition that aff1icts people
suffering with kidney trouble Solvax
does not simply relieve. It aims to
cure.
No other kidney remedy has made
such large percentage of cures as
Solvax. 1t is so large that Fisher B ros
is perfectly safe in standing ready to
refund the price to any customer whom
it does not help. ADV.

DO YOU FEEL HGADACHY?
LOOK TO YOUR STOMACH

1t is an unusual thing for a druggist
sell medicine under a guarantee to
fund the money if it does not cure.
It this is the ways Fisher Bros, the
pular druggists, are selling Mi-o-na,
. standard dyspepsia remedy.
Never before have they had so large
lumbersof customers tell them that a
adicine. has been so successful as with
.o-na. People who a few months
. looked like walking skeletons have
t ongfesh and today are rudy and
fOrOus with perfect digestion and
cd health.
There is no longer any need for any
suffering or making their friends
fer on account of dyspepsia. Mi-o-na
j always be relied upon. The per-
,tage of cures is so great that there
title risk to Fisher Bros. in guaran-
ing to return the money if the medi-
does not relieve. And they stand
ldy TO do SO without any questions.
Headaches. all forms of Indigestion,
'cks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,

by Mi-o-na. A few days treatment
'uld show considerable gain in health

Entailing Five Years Sentence.

Hardy, Feb. 16.-Deputy Sheriff
Sidney stephens of Hardy left here
sunday morning for Little Rock with
A. j. Johnson, whom he will turn
over to the authorities at the state
penitentiary. Johnson was last week
sentenced to five years in the peni-
tertiary for the killing of Mr.. Bar
nett at Shelbyville, in this county, a
few months ago.
The attorneys for Johnson and the
state effected a compromise and
Johnson pleaded guilty to murder in
the second degree. He was indicted
for murder in the first degree. In
the compromise Johnson was to pay
the widow of the man he killed ST.
600. This stops proceedings in a
damage suit brought against him by
the widow.

powder their nose or wear perfume

suggestion to make it unlawful for
chickens not to go to roost between
6 and Z O'Clock. Massachusetts
wants bachelors to pay a tax of S.
yearly. Some talk was heard when
the Arkansas legislature convened of
making it a misdemeanor to carry a
corkscrew, but when it was learned

a lot of people who would be forced
to pull corks with their teeth the
proposal was abandoned. Measures
in these and other states are de-

ANOTHER BIG FIRE AT
JONESbORO YESTERDAY
Star Clothing House Chief Sufferer
Total Loss Caused by Flames
Estimated at $4,000.

Jonesboro, Feb. 16.-Jonesboro ex-
perienced another fire yesterday, the
total loss of which will be fully $20,-

ond story of the Star Clothing house,
gents furnishings, owned by Az
Arndt. About 1870 o'clock the fire
was discovered and for fully two
hours the firefighters did most hero
ic work in combating the flames.
At one time the entire block seemed
doomed, but fire walls on the north
and south side of the two buildings
burned saved the others.
From the Star Clothing house the
flames ate their way into Ben Berger
building where there was stock of
groceries, both buildings being seri-
ously damaged by the flames.
The losers in the fire were AID
Arndt, gents furnishings, stock and
fixtures, valued at $4,000, with
81 900 insurance, loss estimated at
ls15,0OO; building owned by E. Less,
valued at $4,000, with $4,000 insur-
ance; Berger building, valued at
$4,000, with $4,000 insurance, each
of the buildings being damaged fully
$4,000, or more; stock of groceries
and fixtures of Berger, valued at
$4,000, with insurance of $2,25O,
loss fully $500; stock and build
| ing of DR.. J. L. Burns loss $500, full
| ly covered by insurance.
1t is understood that the buildings
will be rebuilt at once.
