For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM

the body. They are the filters, the puri-

the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for Ole of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
:onishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We .,Gaa that Swamp, Root is stnctly
4 an herbal compound and we would ad
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy 10 give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes

I'm not a-going to try, but can

The peddler had been rome FIVE or
ten minutes when the cJbbler came
over with a piece Of paper in his hand
he waited moment to be addressed.
and, as he was not, he said:
II beg your pardon, Mr.. Bowser, but

the cobbler, ''but I thought you come

The cobbler went away, and Mr.
Bowser returned to his state Of en-
FRAGMENT. The harp struck ur
again, and this time there was singer
with it. The song was Buffalo Gals
and the air was meant to be lively
but struck Mr.. Bowser with q peculiar
sadness. The moon also seemed tt
be sad and the stars no longer sh0ne
with their former brilllancy. Mr.. Bow
ser felt tear sadly rolling down his
sad cheek, and his chin might have
begun to culver with emotion, when 6

$50 you have no umbrellas to

MY dear sir, If had a thousand

this is not the night to pass them out.
Think of an umbrella with three ribs
broken, and the ferule missing with
the stars twinkling the way they are.

Mr.. Bowser was still admiring the
glorious Night, when vegetable ped
dler came to the gate and called TO
him in a hoarse voice:
"Say, you! l have got ten cucum-
bers left, and I want to sell out anu
get home. What do you say to TWO
centsaapiece for them IN I have been
selling them for four cents all day."
Mr.. Bowser heard, but did not an

the music of a harp down the street
and the strains were in harmony with
his feelings.

the man, "and they are not chucked

land under the sun and millions OF

sight, but you are here to sell sew

"Oh. I see the moon right enough"
replied the agent, shut l might look
Mt It for a year and it would bring
me no bread and butter. If you hap

"You sordid wretchl" exclaimed Mr..
Bowser, "Listen to that harp and
that song, and let your heart melt, as
mine does"
The song of "Buffqio Gals died
away as suddenly as If a grasshopper
had Jumped down the throat OF the
singer. The harp quit playing and the
crickets in the grass ceased TO chlrp.
THE moon saw red and Mr.. Bowser
rose up and began to descend the
stems. All his enhancement was gone
and his eyes looked danger. The agent
moved along and Mr.. Bowser moved
sitter him. He was reaching for the
mans coat collar when there was a
Sudden fit and pursuit. He ran that
agent down to the corner and, though
he did not catch him, he frightened
him until he was as pale as a ghost.
Then he returned to his seat on the
steps and, an hour later, Mrs. Bow
ser found him asleep In shadow

What We Can Do to Make th'
Northeast Mississippi Field
Meet a Success

prize composition written by
Adlai Lyles, a tenth grade
pupil.
Any town with the right kind
of people in it can make a sue
cess of almost anything it goes
into. Okolona has the right
kind of people. Therefore, the
Northeast Mississippi Meet in
Okolona is going to be a success.
The organizations of the town
should do a great deal for the
meet.
The churches could prepare
lunches. These lunches could be
sold to ones wishing them. The
majority of children visiting
towns on such occasions, would
rather buy lunches than go to
hotels. The hotels cannot take
care for all the visitors, so these
lunches would sell rapidly. The
churches would make some mon
ey out of the trade and the buy
ers. of the lunches would be
pleased.
The Business Mems Club has
taken up the work of providing
an athletic field. If the field is
made in the right place and right
manner. it will help the Meet to
be a success. When the grounds
for the track events are a great
distance from town or from the
places in which the literary
events are held, people become
very tired going to and from the
grounds. In one town near
0kolona the park is about a mile
from town. Many people have
said they did not enjoy the field
events, in that town, because it

Electricity on the Farm

Here is what an electrical en-
! gineer says four or five cents
worth of electricity will do on
the farm, if electricity were
available for the rural COM
munity:
Milk ten cows.
Churn twenty pounds of but
ter.
Separate /, 400 pounls of milk
in cream separator.
Do two large family washings.
Heat an electric fat iron for
half an hour.
Run a sewing machine for
four hours.
Make griddle cakes on an
electric griddle twice.
Pump water enough to last the
family two days.
Sharpen an ak or scythe on the
grindstone six times.
Light a 80 candle-power lamp
an hour a day for five days.
Make five slices of toast every
morning for four mornings.
Not long ago we read with
considerable interest an adver-
tisement of an electric light plant
for the farm that, so the adver-
tisement said, could be installed
for less than $500.
Putting the assertions of the
electrical engineer and the ad-
vertisement together, it's not
difficult to arrive at the conclu-
sion that farm life can be made
much more desirable than it is
at a cost far from prohibitive.

I of Rev. E. E. Thornton was cir
culated, and came as a shock to
every one. He died at his home
! about 5 O'Clock lfrom heart fail
/. ure which wrs porribly caysed by
/ acute indigestion. He had been
out on his farm, a few miles
I fsom town, during the day, and
] Just driven in. After taking his
! horse loose from the buggy he
! went up into the loft of his barn
where he had negro cleaning
} Lespedeza seed. The negro
] heard him say "Oh Lord" and
reel to fall and caught him and
klet him down on some hay and
/ then called for help, but he
never spoke again, and only
! gasped a few times after loved
ones reached him. For three or
/ four days before his death he
had suffered from Indigestion,
Aand it is supposed that this, hav-
ing reached an acute stage, pro-
duced heart failure.
Brother Thornton was born
and reared in Chickasaw county,
and here gave many of the best
wears of his life as a teacher and
minister of the Gospel.
Rev. E. E. Thornton was one
of the states most prominent
, Baptist ministers and had served
some of the best churches of
the state as pastor, among them
being New Albany, Water VAL
ley, Kosciusko and Lexington.
About ten years ago he accepted
a call from the Houston Baptist
