my neighbors look at me in utter
astonishment as they see me doing
my homework now, for they have
known my condition for years past,
when I could do none of it," is the
signed statement of Mrs J. G. Jolbert,
of 22S Elizabeth Street, Athens, Ga.
Mr.. and Mrs. colbert are well known
and very popular among host of peo-
pie in Athens. Mr.. Jolbert is the well
known gasoline and oil man, and by
his happy, jovial disposition has be-
come widely known. Both of these
people almost worship Dreco, for the
great good it has done them.
Il am better than | have been in
many years" she continues, ''and have
actually gained fifteen pounds in
weight. My health has been in a low
state and nc medicine that l took did
me any good, but Dreco was different
from the others and went right to the
bottom of my. troubles. l just cannot
express how much better | am now
Only those who knew me before and
see me now, can realize what Dreco
did for me-
Mr.. colbert has received great re-
lief from his rheumatism by taking
Dreco. We both never lose a chance
to tell about this great remedy"
Dreco does not just patch you up for
a few days, but it goes right to the
bottom of the trouble and removes the
cause. That is why it's work is so eff
fective and lasting. When the vital
organs become deranged many out
ward signs may be seen, but there is
deeper cause and that is what Dreco
goes after
Dreco is now sold by all modern
druggists throughout the country and
is highly recommended in Americas
by Americas Drug Co. adv

CANNING CLUBS
ORGANIZED in
RURAL SCHOOLS

Great enthusiasm is being shown in
all parts of Sumter county in the Girls
canning and poultry clubs, according
to Mrs. Olin Williams, the new county
canning club demonstration agent,
who has already completed organiza-
ton work in many parts of the coun-
ty, and started the clubs on active
work.
Monday she visited Sumter, where
she organized club, every one of the
nine girls of the leigible age-11 to IS
years-joining. Previously she had
organized successfully clubs at the
following places, with the designated
memberships to start:
Thompson, II members; Anderson
vile, 8; Pennington, 6; Howell, G;
Agricultural College model school,, 6;
East Americas, 6.
The Plains school will be visited and
clubs organized there within a few
days.
The canning club movement has
been highly successful in previous
years, but an effort will be made this
year to attain even greater success
in Sumter Everywhere the clubs are
about 100 per cent. of the eligibles. An
example of what may be accomplished
by these clubs is found at the Sumter
school, where last season 1900 cans of
produce, canned by club members,
were sold through one store in that
community.
Mrs. Williams reports very pro-
gressive spirit among the county
schools. At Howell school she found
in operation successful elementary
sewing and elementary cooking
classes, fiourishing parent-teacher
association, flower boxes planted and
a school garden started. The teacher
of this progressive school is Miss Ruth

REAL MINING NEAR
 FOR POLK COUNTY
American Manganese Company Ex- poets to Have 50-Ton Mill in Op- eraffSn Within 60 Days-Person-
 neI and Present Holdings.

One among the companies that will do real mining in the Mena field within a few weeks is the American Manganese Mining Company of this city. J. D. Budd, president of the company, states that it is the expec- tation that a 5O-ton mill will be in operation at the holdings two miles west of Hatton within the next 60 days. Already they have a $500 compressed air drill at work and much rich ore is ready for milling and shipping.
 The holdings of the company com prise 2000 acres in owned and leased land, and 32 government mineral claims; also a splendid 2-story brick building on DeQueen street, this city, which is used for offices.
 The ore on which it is proposed to first start the mill is of character, it is said, that at least one car in three can be shipped without milling, this portion of the ore being merely hand-picked from the general output of the mine.
 At a recent reorganization of the company, in which several thousand dollars changed hands, J. D. Budd, c. E. Strahan and Rupert Steel took over the intersts of J. G. Wherry, A. s. Malocsay, Olaf Baker and J. w. Cook, all Miami, Ok, parties. In this reorganization Mir. Budd was made president, MT. Strahan, vice president and Mrs. Steel, secretary treasurer.

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Mena People in Poor Health
 Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who drag out a miserable existence without realizing the cause of their suffer ing. Day after day they are racked with backache and headache; suffer from nervousness, dizziness, weak ness, languor and depression. Per haps the kidneys have fallen behind in their work of Altering the blood and that may be the root of the trouble. Look to your kidneys, assist them in their work-give them the help they need. You can use no more highly recommended remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed by people all over the country and by your neigh bors in Mena.
 c. Peeler, 1913 Church street, Mena, says: q was troubled with a dull steady ache in the small of my back and was advised by friend to try Doan's Kidney Pills. I have never re- gretted using them, for they helped me so greatly I surely hold a high opinion of Doan's."
