DEATH RESULT OF
LIGHTED PAPER

The two-year-old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Luther Cooper, residing in the
18th district, near Meridian, met
death in an unusual manner on last
Friday. The little fellow had OBJ
served the father light paper and
then light his pipe with the burning
paper. Mrs. Cooper was sick and
unable to get to the child when it
lighted a piece of paper at the open
fire. The child inhaled the blaze
through the nose.
Congestion set up and after in
tense suffering the little fellow died,
There was a small place burned on
the child's arm, but otherwise no
sign of it being burned. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cooper have the profound SYM
pathy of their friends in their sore
bereavement.

THE OLD-FASH-
IONED FIREPLACE.

We had the pleasure of visiting at
home not far from Covington re-
Gently, where there was an old-fash-
toned fireplace. We enjoyed it.
There is something about an old
fashioned fireplace that takes body
by the hand without waiting for an
introduction. 1t doesn't keep a man
standing out in the hall till his nails
turn blue, and he signs regret that
he didn't bring his ear muffs along;
but before he can tell how it is done
it has made him feel right at home
and is communing with him like an
old friend with whom he hopes never
to part again. 1t puts him in the
best chair and is on the way to the
cellar for cider, before he can get
his hat off. And as he sits there,
rubbing his hands with an ecstatic
sort of feeling to which no words in
our language can give full express
sion, he feels like giving the bulk of
his property to the poor before he
has been there two minutes. 1t
warns him up with a glow that makes
him feel benevolent from his teeth
to his toe nails; quickens up his
blood till he almost feels his hair
grow, and takes away the fear of
death-or gives fascination for fire
which amounts to the same thing

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hair! Get small bottle
of Danderine right now-AIso
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruf-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp. which if
not remedied causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die-then the hair
falls out fast. A little Danderine to-
nlght-now-any time-will surely save
your hair.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderjne from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dan
derine. Save your hair! Try it!

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
cailuses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbug! ANY corn, whether hard
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound of ether discovered by a Gin.
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifie, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.

NEW DECALOGUE
Of WORLD WAR.
It Applies to Both Men and Women and
Followed Closely, Everyone VIII Do
His Part.

"A new decalogue of war for wo-
men has been arranged by the pro-
! fessors of the University of Turin"
says DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, chair
man of the Woman's Committee of
the Council Of National Defense.
"This decalogue, like that of the
Scriptures, applies to both men and
women and by close attention to its
rules everyone will be able not only
to do her part, but to do it so sys-
tematically and efficiently that there
is no demand the government could
make that would not find us pre-
pared at once. If every family kept
this decalogue where it could be in
view every day, it would remind
them of their duty as well as the
glory of sharing in the great struggle
which we trust shall bring a fulfill
ment of the spirit of Him who came
to bring Peace on Earth, Good Will
to Men, " The decalogue is as fol
lows:
l. Do not chatter. Keep to your
self the news you hear, your own i'm
preston, and your apprehensions.
2. Do not listen to alarmists, to
slackers or to those who would spread
Encouragement. Silence them.
3. Be moderate in your spend
ing, neither lavish in gifts nor sordid
in your economies. Let everything
in your life, even your daily expen-
SEES, take on at this moment it's true
national Importance.
4. Encourage national industries,
avoiding imported goods, even though
they may seem better and less costly
than those made at home.
5. Do not look upon the depart
ure to the front of those dear to you
as an abandonment. Be with them
constantly in thought, as they are
with you, particularly in the hour
of danger; and do all that you can
to replace them in their former oc-
equations.
6. Do not complain of the diff
culties, annoyances and privations
caused by the war. Think of those
who are dying for their country and
complaint will halt upon your lips.
7. Multiply your activities, in
your home, as we'll as outside, there
by rendering yourself useful to your
country by the work of your hands,
the warmth of your heart and the
clarity of your intelligence.
8. Exhibit day by day and hour
by hour the same courage a man
shows upon the field of battle. In
struct the ignorant, uphold the fee
BILE, console those who are stricken;
transmit your own confidence to
others.
8. No matter how long the strug-
gle may last, await victory with
strength and patience.
10. If you are stricken in your
dearest affections, bear your sorrow
nobly, that your tears may be wor-
thy of the hero whose death you
mourn.

LEVI ROLLINGS.

Levi Rollings was born in Tippeca-
noe County, Ind, Oct. %, 1872. His
father died when he was only twelve
years old, leaving the burden OF the
support of his mother and two
younger children upon him. This he
did with entire devotion, but this care
deprived him of the coveted degree
OF education that is priced SO highly.
In spite of this, he developed, under
the care of a good mother and strict
attention to duty, as God gave him
10 know it, a strong body and warm
heart.
In the War Between the States,
like the great body of our sturdy citi-
zens, he answered the call of his
country and joined the 10th Indiana
Battery u. S. A. in August, 1862. For
almost three years he barred his breast
to the dangers of war, offering his
life as a sacrifice if need be, for the
cause of united country.
On December II, 1869, he united
in marriage to Miss Anna Sanders,
of London, Eng. To this union there
were born no children, but in every
sense there was that sense of loyalty
and devotion to his home that char
'acterized his whole life. 1t is said
that loyalty to mother and sisters
bespeaks devotion to wife. This
was especially verified in the life of
the deceased. The writer never saw
more congenial home, though failing
health had touched it long before we
knew it.
Mr.. Rollings united with the church
in 1876 and remained a member until
his death. 1t is with thanksgiving
as we'll as with deep sorrow that we
submit to his transfer from the
church militant to the church Trium-
plant.
The family moved to Fitzgerald in
1895, residing on farm near by UNI
til failing health necessitated their
moving into the city proper, where
Tor these years they have been ac-
tive in the work of the church and
every good cause. Mr. Rollings was
a good citizen.

wife to battle for awhile longer with
the things which are temporal. We
