The bridesmaids were clad in
simple white afternoon frocks.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bride changed her costume for
lovely blue travelling suit with hat
to match, after which the happy
couple took their departure for
their future home.
Mr. Smith IS prosperous young
farmer of the Bloomingvale section,

most popular young ladies. They
have the best wishes of q host of
relatives and friends.

Be CAREFUL AFTER FEVER, GOLD OR GRIP.
Many Cases Of Kidney Trouble Can be
Traced 10 Some Infectious Disease.


Colds, fevers and infectious dis
eases very often leave the kidneys
weak. So little attention is given the
condition of the kidneys during re-
covery from the original trouble
that a severe attack of kidney dis
ease often follows. Here's how it
happens. The kidneys are worked
hard enough in healthy times. They
have to filter the blood. In any
germ disease the blood is loaded
with extra poisons made by the dis
ease germs. This overwork tends
to weaken the kidneys. After colds,
grip, scarlet fever, typhoid, measles,
pneumonia, diphtheria, tonsilitis or
chicken pox, watch for backache
and urinary disorders. and promptly
use Doan's Kidney Pills. Kingstree
people have found Doan's reliable in
many forms of kidney trouble.
Here is Kingstree woman's ex-
perience:
Mrs S H DuBose, Kingstree, says:
"A spell of la grippe, weakened my
kidneys, and my back began to ache
terribly. l could hardly turn oyer
in bed, l was so sore and lame. l
tired easily and could hardly do my
housework. suffered from dizzy
spells and the kidney secretions be-
ing irregular in passage annoyed
me considerably. When l heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills l got
some at the Scott Drug Co. Two
boxes cured me-"

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

cured Mrs DuBose. Foster-Milburn

MAN TELLS HIGHLY
INTERESTING STORY OF his
EXPERIENCES.

CT Connor has reached the part
ing of the ways. He is now travel
ing along the way of greater happi-
ness and of contentment, which he
appreciates all the more, he says, be-
cause he has been through enough
of trouble and suffering during the
past several years to emphasize to
him what he considers the good for.
tune he has met.
MIR Connor lives about five miles
from New Brookland, a suburb of
Columbia. on Rural Route No 2. He
is q substantial farmer. He came to
Burnett & Whetsell's drug store, at
New Brookland, and while there he
voluntarily told his amazing story of
how Tanlac, the master medicine, had
banished his really alarming trou-
bles. He said:
Il had been a sufferer for a long
time with stomach and intestinal
troubles. l underwent an operation
for appendicitis more than year
ago. and peritonitis, which followed,
almost killed me. Before and after
this operation, nothing l would eat
would stay on my stomach. l had no
appetite. l lost weight until / was
about fifty pounds under my normal
weight.
Indigestion caused me lot Of
suffering and l expect it was the be-
ginning of all my other troubles.
Very little of what | ate was assimi-
lated. AT breakfast. l could not eat
at all. For six months l was so weak
| could not work, although | tried
many medicines and had the benefit
of other competent treatment. My
nerves were almost shattered. l
could not sleep we'll.
Several friends told me of Tan
lac, and l began taking it. have
gained thirty pounds in weight, and
my system has been wonderfully
built up. can work as long and as
hard as the average farmer. My
system has been regulated by Tan
lac, and l eat all l can get. | can
shoot accurately now,s 80 steady have
my nerves become. Indigestion has
been banished by Tanlac, and / feel
strong and healthy. My, but it feels
good to be free of all these pains! l
tell many people of Tanlac, and
some members of my family, too,
have been much helped by Tanlac. y
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold exclusively by Kingstree Drug
Co, Kingstree. Price: 81 per bottle,
straight.

was reported from this quarter, and
the remedy suggested is, a reduc-

VIII NVl INN
HOUSE CATS?
AN EXCELLENT WAY TO RAISE
MONEY FOR STATE GOVERN
MENT, SAYS COLUMBIAN.
Miss Belle Williams, of Columbia,
secretary of the Audubon Society of
South Carolina, says:
Il have followed with interest the
accounts given of the proceedings Of
the House in regard to doubling the
tax on dogs. The office of this so.
ciety has been at some pains recent
ly to collect data bearing on the in
jury done to wild birds by dogs
roaming at large during the birds
breeding season. An effort was al
80 made to get an average of fair
and unprej JUDGED opinion as to the
best method of dealing with the
problem.
The evidence collected shows that
the countless numbers of half-breed,
half-starved dogs which roam the
fields and woods night and day, and
generally escape taxation, constitute
very serious drain upon the re-
sources of the State. In addition to
the vast injury done to all ground
nesting birds, particularly the noble
Bob White, domestic fowls such as
chickens and turkeys suffer greatly,
and in some parts of the State these
poor, hungry beasts, in order to sus-
tain their miserable existence. break
down and destroy corn from the
time it is in mutton till it is harvest
ed. Then, too, there is the menace
from hydrophobia.
STATE TAX DESIRABLE.
The concensus of opinion of those
replying to the Audubon Society's
request for suggestions as to the
remedy to be applied is that good,
high Statewide tax, rigidly enforced
by we'll paid officers, would be eff
cacious. Such a law rightly enforc-
ed would reduce the numbers Of
dogs to those which would be really
desired and we'll cared for. It would
be kindess to the poor dogs in the
first place, to their often Indifferent
| owners in the second place, and
would deprive no one of dog whose
present and future happiness de-
pends on the possession of one. A
long step in the direction of bird
conservation would be taken.
1T is rather difficult to see the
logic of placing dogs in the same
class with cows and mules. The
latter do not roam the woods and
fields night and day. They are fair
| ly we'll fed, are restrained within
certain limits and there is redress for
any injury they may do. They do
not trot along in packs at the heels
of idle people, nor destroy our
ground-nesting birds. nor afford q
standing menace to the community
because of hydrophobia. Cows and
mules make returns to their ownersin
dollars and cents throughout their
long and useful lives for the food
and care which they receive.
TAX THE CATS ALSO.
THE question put by one of the
members from Fairfield in ridicule
of this important piece of construc-
tive legislation, Why don't you put
tax of so cents on each house cat?,
| is prophetic. In many of the more
progressive States this subject is al
ready being discussed and bills to
this effect have been introduced into
the Legislatures of Massachusetts.
New York and New Jersey. The
town of Montclair, N j, has just
passed a law to prevent unidentified
cats from running at large IN the
streets. Such legislation is a great
kindness to cats.
