All that remains now of the old Plains
of Durah is found in the Furlow Ma
sonic Lodge, No. 324, which was
founded when the old town still -four
ished, and which is yet in existence,
and one of the cornerstones of the
social fabric of the new and modern
city which has supplanted the pioneer
settlement, memories of which are
still recalled by the older residents

years after its foundation to Blacks

ORIGINAL location. and it was after the
railroad was built through this Sec

following that Plains was incorpor-

pose being introduced in the legis-
lature by Hon. William A. Dodson,
who represented Sumter in the lower
house CT the legislature at that time.
Three hundred persons resided there
when the town was first incorporated,

Plains was the late Dr. B. T. Wise,

held at regular intervals. There is

WASH THE KIDNEYS

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. By some mys-
FERROUS process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
So it is that DR.. Pierce, of the 1nyalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, advises Washing the Kidneys"
by drinking six to eight glasses OF water
between meals and then if you want
to take harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength }, for 60c.
This cAnuric," which is so many times
more potent than lithia-will drive out
the uric acid posons and battle the KID
news and channels in soothing liquid.
III you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample of water Tor Tree
examination. Experience has taught
Doctor Pierce that uAnuric" is most
powerful agent in dissoIviDg uric acid,
as hot water melts sugar.

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milks. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and ba-
nanas, also graham bread and whole
wheat promote a movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablets Immediately after supper.
