Young Brides First..DiscOvery.

Their wedding tour had ended,
and they entered their new home
to settle down to what they
hoped to be one long uninterrup-
ted blissful honeymoon.
But alas! the young brides
troubles soon began, when she
tried to reduce the cost of living
with cheap big can" baking
powders,
She soon discovered that all
she got was a lot for her money,
and it was not all baking powder
for the bulk of it was cheap ma

LIVER DIDN'T ACT
DIGESTION WAS BAD
Says IS year Old Kentucky Lady, Who Tells How She Was Relieved
After Few Doses Of BIackDraught.

Meadorsville, Ky.-Mrs. Cynthia
Higginbotham, of this town, says: AT
my age, which is 65, the liver does
not act so we'll as when young. A few
years ago, my stomach was all out of
fix. I was constipated, my liver
didn't act. My digestion was bad, and
it took so little to upset me. My ap-
petite was gone. I was very weak. =.
I decided I would give Black
Draught thorough trial as I knew it
was highly recommended for this
trouble. I began taking it. fclt

improved and I became stronger. Ny

doses of Black-Draught."

Seventy years of successful use has
made Thedford's Black-Draught q
standard, household remedy. Every
member, of every family, at times,
need the help that Black-Draught can
give in cleansing the system and re-
lieving the troubles that come from
constipation, indigestion, lazy liver,
etc. You cannot keep we'll unless your
stomach, liver and bowels are in good
working order. Keep them that way.
Try Black-Draught. 1t acts promptly,
gently and in a natural way. If you

You will feel fresh tomorrow. Price

always give the desired results.
And because of the absence of
leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to
raise cakes or biscuits as it does
of Calumet Baking Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual
cost to you, of cheap baking
powders, is more than Calumet
would be.
Cheap baking powders often
leave the bread bleached and
acid, sometimes yellow and aka
line. and often unpalatable. They
are not always of uniform
strength and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet
the perfectly wholesome baking
powder, moderate in price, and
always uniform and reliable.
Calumet keeps n d e fl n j tely,
makes cooking easy, and is GER
tainly the most economical after
all.

ways found with a smile, kind
and loving to all. Since we
have been her pastor we have
always found her the same,
wearing the same smile all the
time, and trying in every way
possible to make it pleasant for
her pastor and his sister, who
resides in talking distance of
the Froedge home. In the pres
ence of a large and weeping con-
gregation in her home church
the pastor conducted funeral
services, using for a text "She
is not dead but sleepeth." Oh
friends and loved ones we real
ize how sad it is to give her up.
The loving face is gone. No
more on this side of eternity will
we share the smiles and enjoy
the loving presence of one we
loved so well. But let US not
weep as those who have no hope
for after such a devoted chris
tan life we have hope of meet
ing her again, for she is not dead
but sleepeth Yes she is asleep
in Jesus. 1t is true that no man
nor powers of man can wake her
nor can we call her to us, for in
the last day she will awake a
new creature in Christ Jesus.
How beautiful is the picture
when we see with our minds
eye the great multitude stand
ing before God in judgment hav-
ing had their robes washed in
the blood of the Lamb. Sister
Froedge will no doubt be in that
bright number. After funeral
services she was carried tc the
Fudge graveyard on the Froedge
farm and laid to rest, to await
the coming of the Lord in glory.
How sad it was to leave her
there in the lonely tomb. With
sad and aching hearts we turned
away extending our sympathy
to the bereaved. But how con-
soling it is to think that we can

Obituary.

Alice Pearl Strange Froedge,
daughter of Bro. and sister Hous-
ton Strange, born June 3rd, 1878
Was married to A. C. Froedge,
Feb, 10th, 1899. To this union
were born one child, Elsie May
Froedge. Bro. and sister Froedge
have made the little village of
Breeding, KY, their home for
several years, where they have
been in the mercantile business,
and have won the love and
friendship of many.
On June the 10th, 1917, their
happy little home was saddened.
To the surprise of both friends
and relatives, when God in his
loving way saw fit to send the
Death Angel into the home and
call the loving wife and darling
mother away. She had been i'll
but a few days with measles,
and was getting along nicely.
She and her many friends were
expecting that she would be up
and about in few days. On
June the 9th she was suddenly
seized by dreadful case of
pneumonia. Presently a state
of Inconsistencies was the re-
suit and she never revived any
more. On the day following she
passed away, in the presence of
an aged father and mother and
| three brothers, two sisters, hus-
band and daughter, other rela-
tives and friends. She also has
two brothers that could not be
here. Sister Froedge professed
faith in Christ many years ago,
and since the year of 1900 has
been a faithful member of the
M. E. Church South, of Breed
ing, KY. We can think of no
one who had more friends than
she. We were sorry to give her
up. Realizing that a true COM
panion, loving mother and a
faithful member of the church
had passed away. She was al

Farmer Browns Boy Tries to
Smoke Out YoWIer.

If there Is any one with an uglier sound
ing snarl or q more threatening growl
than Yowler the Bob-cat I don't know
who it is. Neither does Farmer Browns
Boy. When he heard it for the first time
issuing from the little cave in the ledge
Of rocks deep in the Green Forest, where
Yowler had made his home. he backed off
in a hurry, and funny little creepy, chilly
feelings ran all over him. He began to
have a feeling OF sympathy for Bowser
the Hound. He didn't wonder that Bowser
refused to hunt any one who could snarl
and growl like that, especially after hav-
ing felt the teeth and claws with which
Yowler was armed
Now that he had found YowIer he won
dered what he should do next. There was
no way he could get at Yowier in that
he wanted to, and he didn't want to. No.
Stree, that was the last thing he wanted
to do He couldn't get at Yowler, but
YoWler could get at him any time he
chose to rush out unless he was careful
not to get too near. Farmer Browns Boy
went of a little way to sit down and
think it over Bowser sat down at a safe
distance and watched. He wondered If
things would happen as they had happened
the heap Of fallen trees II they did per-
hans his master would understand just
how he felt and why he had no desire
to hunt Yowler any more.
After awhile Farmer Browns Boy gath
cred some stones and sticks and threw
them In the little cave. At least, he threw
them in at the entrance. But the only
result was rsnswed snax1ing and growing.
