TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, oil
this place, writes: 'sMy husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
jtned himself with piece OF heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed 10 lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
II two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
Isent and bought Thedford's Black
Draught. made him take a big dose,
and when it began TO act he tainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and

and we both feel he owes his life to

may require,
Nor is it hard for us to grant what
other men desire.
IT'S easy TO insure good will SO long

Ii we but fatter and caress. mems
praises flow unceasing.
If life were nothing but to please and
satisfy our neighbor,
Each man his conscience might ap-

A smile; few well chosen words; an
interest and attention.;
Decided preference shown for each,
avoidance of contention;
Small favors that would manifest a
deep consideration:
These, with a sympathy expressed,
will gain his appreciation.
IT'S easy other men to please, but
have you e'er reflected
How hard it is to be and do all that
yourself expected?
The man within you doth require
more than the man without you
And self Is more exacting far than
any man about you.
SO many standards have been raised
and placed for our attainment,
And many judges sit in state for NOR

But strange to say, each judge may

Their standards vary every day, and

flying controversy,
And self, the gravest judge of all,
condemns us without mercy.

ELECTRlFY SEEDS AND CROPS
Process That Is Rapidly Gaining Eopu.

The English press Is NANTES ing
considerable interest ut present il the
question of the application of cleo
tricity TO agriculture us Il means of in
creasing the supply of home grown
foodsuffs, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. Experiments which have been
going on for some years in England
have clearly demonstrated that the use
of an electric discharge has a marked
erect on crop production.
The subject has lately been brought
to the fore by Charles MERCER, who,
writing in the London Times. states
that great and startling improve
ments in agriculture are on the point
Of being introduced" and says that
method has been devised to overcome
the difficulty of expense of electriiica-
ton as applied TO both the growing
crops and the seed before it is sown.
Installations at Vhich farmers can
have their seed treated by experts
have been erected at several centers
and are capable Of treating some 80
coo sacks per month. The increase Of
yield from seed so treated, though not
SO great as the increase from electri
iication of The growing crops, is stated
to he consideCable, ranging from 20
per cent TO as much as so per cent.

The Liberty battle plane over the sea
is hunting the Boche in the air,
Where the sun cannot shine FOR the gray
rolling smoke
Or the moon Tor the red leaping glare.
She carries The hopes OF the world on
her wings
And she speeds In the wake OF her
prey.
For the tlag, has caressed her. and Free
dom has blessed her,
And Glory has pointed the way.
The Liberty flyer is roaring aloft
To victory Up in the sky.
She IS teaching the Hun with her little
Old gun
That her motto is conquer or die.
She is singing a song as she whizzes
along
With brave L. s. soldier to man her,
For the planes as they sail in the teeth
OF the gale
Are humming ''The star-spangled Ban
