CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of It. in Middlebury But Daily
Growing Less

The kidneys often cry for help
Not another organ in the whole body
more dclicately constructed;
Not one more important to health
The kidneys are the filters OF the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the frequent in
dications of kidney trouble
1t is often the kidneys cry for help
Heed it.
Read what Doan's Kidney Pills have
done for overworked kidneys.
Read what Doan'S have done for
Middlebury people.
Mrs. Peter Stone, 70 Seymour St,
says "My back was lot of trouble
to me, there being a dull, steady ache
in it, which changed to sharp shooting
pains when | stopped 1t would some
times get stiff and when stopped, it
was hard for me to straighten up. My
kidneys were sluggish. Dizzy spells
came on and at these times l had to
stop whatever was doing. I pur-
chased Doan's Kidney Pills at Sheldon's
Drug Store and they always benefited
me-"

 ''I am having grand time up here and like the place fine.

Judge Wood Announces

In our announcement column this week may be found the announcement of Judge r. T. Wood of Monticello as a candidate for reelection to office of Chancellor of this District One of his home papers, the MonticelIonian. in announcing him for reelection very aptly says:
 Judge Wood Is one of Southeast Arkansas ablest lawyers and most honorable citizens. He is at all times a gentleman, on the bench and off of 1t, and his uniform courtesy to lawyers and htigants in his courts has won for him the esteem of all who have busi- ness therein The humblest citizen can approach him for council and advice, and with the assurance that his legal rights will be protected when submit ted to his court for adjudication. IL is safe to say that no man ever served the people as judge who stands higher in their estimation than does Judge Wood
 He is absolutely fair. just and hon orable, and his decisions have. general ly. been affirmed by the Supreme Court of the State. when appeals have been taken.
 There is not man in Southeastern Arkansas who has wider acquaintance than has Judge Wood. and 1t Is safe al- so to say there are none who have more warm and true friends.
 His qualifications for the office are universally recognized. his standing as an upright. honest citizen Is unques- toned. and should the voters of his District see proper to honor him again with the office. he will serve them just as we'll and faithfully in the future as he has in the past.

Religion and Patriotism

The Government Is advising the con servation of everything but religion because religion must be expressed in order to help it's possessor as we'll as others The more religion our citizens possess, the more and stronger patriot ism will they have, as religion and pa triotism go hand in hand This being true, and as religion Is fostered and cultivated in and by the churches, then 1t becomes patriotic duty for the community to encourage and support the churches.
 Let every loyal Dermotter attend services next Sunday in one of the churches. and don't forget the warm welcome and the beneficial services of the popular homeike church, the Pres byterian Church.

Robert Gibson Dies Suddenly

Before the holidays were gone and while the old year still claimed the passing hours as his own. the Grim Reaper. Death suddenly stalked into our midst and with sickle keen claimed the soul of Robert Gibson for the har- vest of eternity The shock was great. not only in school, but throughout the community.
 Young Robert Gibson was powerful in physique. strong in intellect, polished in manners and courteous to all. The number of his friends was measured by the circle of his acquaintance. All who knew him were his friends
 He had spent most of the holidays with his room mate and teacher, MT. Blackwood at Lonoke. They were on the return trip to resume their duties as teacher and pupil in the High School here when Robert became the victim of uraemic poison. He walked from the train to his boarding place at Mir. Nick Barnett s Within an hour after reaching his room he lapsed into un- consciousness and the end came about thirty hours later, Jan. ?. 1918. Moth ing that faithful medical skill could dc brought any relief.
 Robert is survived by his parents, seven brothers and one sister. His parents and w. F.. (, C.. Paul and Gaston and Mabel live at Morrell. J. J. at Parkdale. Sam at Dermott and Frank is in the army. All were present wher the end came except the brother in tn, army. He reached home Saturda, from his post in South Carolina.
 The remains were viewed by large number of friends and loved ones al residence of Mir. Barnett on the morn ing of Jan. 3. when funeral services were conducted by the Rev. N. C. Den son Services were concluded at tht cemetery at old Troy. eight miles south of Collins The members of the foot ball team. to which Robert belonged accompanied the body to the place oi burial
 When life so young (Robert would have been 2l years old Friday) so full of kindly deeds and is so rounded and crowned with possibilities, is suddenly ended, We are stunned and grope in un- certainty. We cannot look through the lowering clouds and see the pur- poses of our God. He has given. He has taken. He is all-wise and makes no mistakes. For every cloud He has prepared the silver lining, In each sorrow he has concealed blessing if we but seek to find it. He offers the only balm that heals broken hearts, the only antidote that soothes the sting of death, the only hope beyond the grave. Let us seek to know and do | His will. A Friend.
