WEDNESDAY, APRIL 80, 1919.

Clarendon County has chance to have good roads,
and we believe the people will take advantage of this
golden opportunity Supervisor Kelly has letter in this
issue which we print first page outlining the way
in which he proposes to give good roads, and to
mind he is right and we hope he will meet with nothing
but success
If the people will cast aside all prejudice and put
shoulder to the wheel will have good roads. There is
too much selfishness among people, too much don't
and not enough progressveness 1t is foolishness
to sit back and try to block good cause simply because
you do not like the promoter personally or politically.
We have of the best Counties in thee State and if
everybody will pull together will have good roads to
ride Through this good County The Federal govern
ment has allotted Clarendon $4,000 for roads, provided
we put up like amount. This money must be raised in

Daily Health Talks
a WORD ABOUT TINE KIDNEYS
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be but few people understand
the dangers Di diseased kidueys. These
organs have duty oi vital Importance
10 perform, and ii they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify IL. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one OF these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form Of urate
salts i'm the feet, ankles, wrists and
back - often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
Is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright'a
disease.
DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. r., in recent
years, discovered that certain com.
lbination Of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
90 that he made II up in tablets
Of double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffet
dissolves sugar. II you have uric acit
troubles, don't delay in taking hnuri'
Tablets, which can be secured In th'
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce
too, and he will tell you what to ca
and how to live 30 that more uric acit
will not form in your system. DR.. Pierc
will not charge for this advice.

If COW is In an advanced stage Of

The milk from such COW should not
be used for either animals or human

The safest method Is to have a herd

BIRD is WORTH PRESERVING
Writer DepIores the Threatened Ex-
tlnction Of the Beautiful and
Useful Upland Plover.

The upland plover. one Of the most
beneficial birds OF all the winged host
that once abounded in North America.
has been hunted and shot to the verge
OF determination. says Dumb Animals.
With the passing OF the passenger
pigeons. which even now so many
friends OF all birds find II hard to be-
lieye and Of which great many are
not convinced, the plovers were marked
for wholesale destruction. They were
candidates for oblivion along with
more than score OF other useful and
beautiful species that could be III
spared from our vast and valuable Ia
tive fauna.
There is a ray Of hope that these
birds may not be pursued to complete
annihllation. The federal law for the
protection Of migratory birds makes II
! possible for the ployer species to re-
habllltate itself. provided the closed
I season be fixed TO continue throughout
the year. The upland plover is q mi.
gratory bird and 40 insectlyorous bird
Its food consists Of 81 per cent Of AMI
NAL forms which are chiefly the wors'
enemies to agriculture. The fedora
law fires q closed season on migra
tory insectivorous birds to continue
throughout the year with the exception
Of the boboIink or riceblrd. but undel
the law the plover is classed as mi
gratory game bird and so Its fate 4
precariouS. These birds should not b.
shot.
