PROMINENT
SOCIETY WOMAN

ALL HER FAMILY AND A HOST OF
FRIENDS PLEASED

For a long time she made an up
hill fight against a bad case Of nerves
and i'll health. Doctors, Sanitariums
and Medicines had been tried without
any Improvement. Still she was a
plucky little woman and did her best
to brace up and appear cheerful on
account Of the family though she
gradually kept growing from bad to
worse to the dismay Of her husband
and children.
Things were indeed looking tough
when the housekeeper said to the hus-
band: II am going to break my rule
and butt into family affairs for once
even if l lose my job. for | firmly be-
lieve that the trouble with the mis-
tress is that she has gone the Social

The same story can be told by hum

experienced the benefits Of Phosphate

that you must have plenty Of Iron and

ARE WOMEN NATURALLY DIES,
PONOENT?

While there are women who seem
always respondent and depressed and
expecting misfortune, that is not
woman's natural condition. Such I'M
fortunates suffer from iil-health. An
abnormal condition of the system
expresses itself in nervousness, sleep
lessness, backaches, headaches and
dependency.
If all ailing women would make
faithful use of that grand remedy for
woman's ills, Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. there would be
little occasion to ask if dependency
is natural to woman.-Adv.

looks, appearance and conduct of every
student seem to be in harmony and
in keeping with the surroundings.
Inspired by these Environments, Mr.. |
Napier delivered the annual address
to the College Lyceum and to the
Athenian Society, the literary So
cieties Of Rust College. He gave the
young people some solid and whole
some advice. He said MAKE your
selves constant habitues of the libra
ry, read much, be full men and women,
think deeply, acquire wisdom and
with all your getting, get understand
ing, write your thoughts and thus be
be ready men and women as Lord
Bacon has advised" Mr.. Napier de-
clared that the south is our native
home and that we should remain in,
and make Of it, the most beautiful part
of the land. He predicted that upon
the cessation Of the present world war,
wave Of prosperity and material
growth will come to this section and
urged the young people to remain at
home and share in this increase in
business, wealth and population which
will make the south the garden spot
of the continent"
Mr.. Napier also delivered a strong
charge to the graduates of the Col
lege, saying: "My charge to you is,
build character after the model Of the
lowly Nazarene. Make friends with
the people with whom you live and
by whom you are surrounded, and once
made, cling to them as with hooks
of steel. Let reliability, promptness
and thoroughness characterize your
every undertaking. Be courteous
patient and persevering. Let your life
be one of honesty, charity, veracity

Institutions.

Mr.. ]. c. Napier returned to this
city after an absence of one week.
During thistime he visited several
cities, schools and colleges in Missis-
sippi. Alabama, Georgia and South
Carolina where he made addresses
to citizens, farmers and students. He
reports that the hegira of our people
is going on at an alarming extent;
alarming because it is rapidly taking
from the South its most reliable ele-
ment of labor at a time when it can
easily be spared. With dry spell upon
us almost reaching the stage of a
serious drouth, with a scarcity of
food never equaled before, with our
own and the armies of our allies de-
pending largely upon us for food and
every other kind of provender it is
hard ito foresee or to foretell wha
our condition will be a year hence.
These conditions intensity the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation in which this
constant emigration of labor from the
South to the North is bringing upon
us. One of the most serious cases
that may be mentioned is that of the
owner of large plantation in Geor'
