OWNER OF BIG
HOTEL HELPED
Can Eat Chops and Eggs
Since Meritone Put
Stomach in Shape.

/ W. J. Cain, of 504 Fifth Avenue
south, Nashville, is the owner of a
big hotel and sells lots of good things
to eat every day, but until recently,
he couldn't eat much himself.
"Meritone fixed me up, though,
and put my stomach in such good
condition that | can eat a breakfast
of pork chops and eggs and enjoy it,"
Mr., Cain said recently.
Though a prominent man, Mr.. Cain
talked willingly for publication about
Meritone.
Beside stomach trouble also was
run down all over" he said. Il felt
so weakened and bad that could
hardly force myself to get up early
in the mornings.
"Since taking Meritone, however,
feel so well and strong that am able
to supervise all the work in my thir
ty-room hotel"
Mr.. Cain is only one of many
prominent people who. have recon-
mended Meritone because of benefits
it has brought them. Meritone has
no superior for stomach, liver or kid
ney trouble, cattarrh, rheumatism
and the like of for building up a
strong system.
Meritone is sold exclusively in
Lexington at Stewart Drug Co.

others. Mothers love is an abiding
thing, not fancy, but real 1t con-
tinues ever constant, unchanging-
calling others to lives of higher en-.
deavor, and lofty purpose. You have
never seen a child wander so far but
that the love of the mother would
follow and her old heart yean. If
your mother is sleeping in the church
yard, you should, if possible, have
made the journey and placed Il
wreath of flowers upon her grave,
and on the quiet, holy Sabbath day
communed in spirit with the best
earthly friend you ever had. If she
is living, you should have given her
flowers, gone to see her or written
TO her, and told her how much you
appreciate her interest, advice ana
love.

DEATH OF MYRTLE HAMILTON

Myrtle, daughter of Elder and Mrs.
i. D. Hamilton, aged about 10 years,
died last Monday night at IL o'clock,
of congestion, one and a half miles
West of Lexington.
The death of this little girl at the
age when she had become both much
beloved, useful and a great comfort
to her devoted parents, is a blow too
great to be expressed in mere words.
Elder Hamilton and wife are given
a deep and abiding sympathy by all
who know them or the precious
daughter who has been taken from
them.
The remains were inferred Tues
day in the Antioch Cemetery, the SER
vice conducted by minister. of the
Primitive Baptist faith, officiating in
the last sad rites before the beloved
form was consigned TO the bosom of
Mother Earth.
