WHAT CATARRH IS

II has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
OF the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmfuldrugs Tryit.

First Rule of. Good Health.

All schools of medicine agree that it
is necessary to keep the bowels open
and regular if one wishes to enjoy good
health. Indigestion poisons the system
and invites disease. Foley Cathartic
Tablets cleass the bowels without grip
ing or nausea, Danish bloating, sweeten
the stomach and invigorate the liver.

Because they contain the best liver
medicines, no matter how bitter or nau-
seating for the sweet sugar coating
hides the taste. DR.. Kings New Life
Pills contain ingredients that put the
liver working, move the bowels freely.
No gripe, no nausea, aid digestion. Just

.Chldren's Day
and Mothers Day
A Joint Celebration in Honor of the
Two Things Most Sacred
to All Hearts

On Sunday, May ID, at tn
morning hour, the children O
the M. E. Church South will en-
gage in a joint celebration O.
Children's Day and Mother.
Day. These two days are com
bined in a single celebration tt
enable the children of the Metho.
dist Sunday school to have theil
celebration before it trenches toe
closely upon commencement ex.
ercises of the high school now
close to hand.
The children have a collection
OF songs, recitations, etc., suita-
BILE for the occasion, and by coup
ling them with Mothers Day OBJ
servances it is hoped to make the
morning hour of interest to all
who may attend.
The grown-up folks will have
a special program also during the
morning, interesting and suitable
to the occasion.
Mothers Day is said to be dis
tinctly an American institution,
and its sentiment appeals to every
man and woman, of whatever
age and whatever cline. It is
said to be an adoption of the old
English custom of visiting ones
parents on Mid-Lent Sunday.
The second Sunday in May is
well chosen for Mothers Day,
when the newly awakened life
in nature with its blooming flow
ers gives promise of the resur-
rection, a time appropriate for
the remembrance of mother, to
whom all owe an everlasting debt
If gratitude.
Originally it was planned that |
he official flower for Mothers
Day should be the white carna- |
ion, but with the growth of the
movement it has been found that
he supply of these flowers is en-
irely inadequate, and now any
lower is used white flowers
or mothers dead, bright flowers
or mothers living" The GUS
ON of visiting the cemetery on
dothers' Day and decorating the
rave of the loved one is also
oming to be part of the me-
lorial- certainly nothing could
e more appropriate-and in
lany cities of the land the mem
ry of mother is honored by the
ons and the daughters attending
sligious services.
Let all observe the beautiful
lstom, nationalized by joint !
solution adopted by Congress ]
1914, and honor ourselves and
lr mothers by coming to church !
] Sunday and showing our love /
I'd appreciation of their memory ]
wearing a flower as a mark !

Call for Volunteer Fire Department.
Mayor Long publishes call in
this issue for a mass meeting to
be held at the court house on
Monday night, May Is, for the
purpose of organizing a volunteer
fire department. The town only
recently received a two-cylinder
chemical fire engine, and to make
1T OF value to our citizens it is
important that an organization
be perfected to handle the engine
in case of fire.
We are likely to have a fire at

summer season, and we urge
that the young men of the town
heed Mayor Longs call and or
ganize into a fire brigade that
will make itself useful when an
alarm of fire is sounded.

Only The Well To Do Can Afford
To Be Sick

Some people think that poor
people can't help from getting
sick, that it's lust natural to be
SICK and that there's nothing to
be done to keep from it, They
think that rich people have the
money and can afford all the
things that are Necessary in or
der 10 live a healthful life. Be
cause poor people can't have
money and all that they consio er
necessary to live a heaIthful life
.hey usually resign themselves
to whatever comes and think
there's nothing they can do to
etter conditions and improve
heir health.
The truth of the matter is
ooor people, if they only knew it,
can't afford to be sick. Only the
we'll to DO can afford it Sickness
expensive; it costs time and
money. 1t often costs a good
Job. 1t brings on poverty, and
loyerty we all know is an open
toor to disease. Rich people
lave to a larger extent realized
his and are taking the pains to
tay off disease as much as pos
ible, and cultivate healthy hab-
Is.
But fortunately for US all there
ire a number Of things we can
10 to have good health that don't
.ost money. Thanks to the
laker that fresh, cool, moving
iir is not bought by the quart.
1t costs nothing to walk and rest
he mind in it, to breathe it
.eepIy into the lungs and to
,leep in it 1t costs nothing to
drink water freely and to eat
iowI, il costs nothing TO
stand walk and sit erect. It
.ost9 nothing to form regular
daily habits. 1t costs practically
nothing to keep the body clean,
the teeth clean and to eat clean
food
As matter Of fact, the
Jhings that are best for health
are the things that the poor
nave with them always and that
money cant luy.
