John De Pasha, who says he is

Paint Your Premises

Possibly your residence or outbuild-
ings need painting and you have been
postponing it until after the war. Do
not wait longer. There is no better
time to paint than during these early
autumn days. While lead, oil and other
paint material are high, there is no in
dication that there will be a decline
until several years after the war closes.
You can probably paint your buildings
cheaper now than at any time during
the next five years.
While France is experiencing un-
speakable hardships on account of the
war, yet judging from dispatch from
Paris the paint brush is still being
used. The Eiffel town, a structure of
worldwide fame, is soon to be re-
painted, 10000 pounds of paint being
necessary for the work. If the French
people can afford to paint within the
sound of cannonading, certainly the
people can in Edgefeld. Do not post
pone your painting longer.

Pathetic Celebration.

Three years have passed since the
battle of the Marne, a battle which
will occupy a place in history along
with Waterloo and other decisive vic
tories that affected the destinies of
nations as we'll as leaders. Several
DAYS ago the French people celebrated
tie battle of the Marne in most fit
ting manner. 1t was here that the
Germans were hurled back in their
mad rush to seize Paris before the
people of France could prepare for
war. No wonder that the mention of
the word Marne causes every patri otic
heart in France to well up with gratl-
tude to the Cod of battles for the vic
tory of that fateful day.
Well, pathetic celebration was
held the otheraay on the famous bat
tie field. 1t was made pathetic by
having the wounded and manned take

the leading part in the celebration.
The parade was headed by Gen.
Maunoury who was made blind by a
bullet wound. This commander OF
Paris soldiers on the day of the battle
was followed by several hundred SOL
diers who were wounded and manned
in the battle. 1t can be safely said
however ,thatssthese brave warriors are
proud of their battle scars and Tor
many years to come these manned men
will paw their annual visit to the scene
of this bloody conflict.

Costly Superstitions.

The Chinese are noted for their very
foolish and sometimes amusing super
stitions. According to one of these
hundreds of superstitions, if an indi-
vidual sets free captured turtle he
will be eternally blessed. A turtle
weighing 700 pounds was sold at auc-
tion at Yokohama, Japan, the other
day and the successful bidder was a
Chinaman. After planking down S51
for the turtle he towed it to the bay
and set it free. Just as this supersti-
tion cost the benighted Chinaman more
than years earnings, many others
even more ludicrous cost them their
lives.

No topic could be more appropriate for

1t is rather typical of women that at the
first alarm they began to get ready for the
battle for their homes, whereas even an
acute need has been able to arouse only a
small percentage of men. 1t is typical of
the earnestness of women in everything
that they set men the example and give
them the incentive in war as we'll as in
peace.
Pensacola is particularly fortunate in its
womanhood, which, not only established
one of the first chapters in Florida, but de-
veloped one of the most earnest and eff

is signalized as a model

gish kidneys.

or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-

Salts from any reliable pharmacy
and take tablespoonful in q glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys viii then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to activity, also to neutralize che
acids in urine SO it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder Iisor-
