The Lazy Christian

| wonder why on Suneay morn, my
joints are stiff and sore; my feelings
also are forlOrn, Eve never felt this
way before. On yesterday | went to
toan, | hadn't very much to do;
spent the time a-sitting round, and
felt just fine plum thru and thu. But
now that Sunday mornings come, I'll
stay at home and rest; Pm all run
down and on the bum, my nerves not
at their best And so stay at home
and try to snooze, but | am troubled
all day long; my conscience pricks
me when | muse. it tells me that Pm
doing wrong. ought to 60 to Sunday
School, and good examples Show. l
ought to have a stricter rule, by
which to live | know. And thus rest
my weary bones, while my mind must
worry still; moan and pray in awful
tones, lake of tears | spill: Lord
help me keep from sliding back, on
every Sabbath morning; please give
my lazy bones whack, that | may
heed the gospel warning. ! call my
self q Christian man, Pm a member
of the Church; for yirtuous deeds my
name Doth stand, in highest circles
| often perch. Yet III the smallest
things fail, | do not go to Sunday
School; it seems to me like going to

COUNTY PHYSICIAN
ENDORSES TRUTOKA,
DR.. Richards Endorsement Back.
ed by IS Years Constant
Practice.

Kenton, Tenn, July l7.-Dr. ]
Richards, 78syears old, has been res
ident Of this vicinity for years and he
is we'll known and highly respected
by everyone for miles around. For
the past 35 years DR.. Richards has
been actively engaged in the practice
of medicine here, during which time
he has won the confidence of tbous-
ands of acquaintances together with
the credit of being among the most
prominent physicians of this vicinity.
His following public endorsement of
Trutona will give to hundreds
thousands, faith in the perfect tonic,
which will increase greatly upon use
Of the new medicine:
Everyone knows that man in my
profession could not and would not
recommend a medicine unless it was
really one of merit" DR.. Richards
said. "but have tried Trutona and
know it to be tonic Of real merit.
i've been annoyed with nervous
ness for several years." he continued.
MY appetite was poor, too, and |
found it difficult to rest we'll at night.
DUTY compels me to recommend
the new tonic as an appetizer. a
strengthener, system builder and real
nerve tonic. In shorta tonic that
has real medicinal merit. ! hope
those suffering with nervousness, loss
of appetite and a generally rundown
system will try Trutona. 1t will sure
ly help them"
Trutona is now being introduced
and explained in Selmer at DR.. Ken

am here again among the pictur-
|esque hills, in this ever-charming and
interesting country, where the breeze
murmurs a soft cadence as it sweeps
across the green-topped hills, and
gently sways the branches of the great
oaks nearby, which stand so superbIy
in their sentinel like dignity and guar
dianship, presenting a fine picture
against the background of the ever
changing sky. Passing through the
mountains, ] found it the same ever
enchanting scenery; they were stand
ing, clothed with their coats of green
grim, and mysterious in their sphynx-
like grandeur, deep gorges, down
which the mountain torrents pour
over stones and through the brush,
the dimpling sun-touched rivulets, as
they find their way toward the French
Broad. as it winds it way among in
Vulnerable rocks in the narrow valley
at the base of the hills.
When we passed the "Swannonia,"

these lines:

When we pass down to the lower

been to a great art gallery where pic
lures of rarest beauty, painted by an
unseen. but powerful hand. greeted
US with joyous welcome, and touched
with gentle inspiration the beautiful,
divine spark, which fingers in every
human soul.

An Old-Time Industry.

Alice Wade gave us few days ago
several samples of cotton cloth wo-
ven by aunt Rosaline Pratt. living
on A. L. Smiths farm on Oxford. She
carded the cotton and on the oldfash-
ioned loom wove cloth that was the
equal Of the best palm beach, beauti-
fully dyed from the colors she got
from barks and herbs. This old col
ored woman has always woven the
cloth used by her family. 1t is mar
velous how such work can be done
with such primitive appliances.

BOTTLES were left as evidence. He WAS

CLAIMTO REPRESENT FARMERS

The are in operation in Washing
ton, ID. c., several organizations pur-
porting to represent the farmers of
the country. Some of these have, or
claim to have, authority from state
or other agricultural organizations,
to speak for them. In some instances
these Washington bureaus are con-
Quoting aggressive campaigns in favor
Of government ownership, in support
of the present course of labor unions,
and in defense Of the Wilson admin
istration. If such policy be in har-
mony with the opinions and wishes of
OF the farmers whose names are being
used to back up these propaganda or
ganizations, well and good-if manag-
ers of the alleged farm organizations
have merely assumed authority or have
pursued course not i'm accordance
with the real wishes of their sup
posed patrons, then it Is high time
that the farmers should take steps to
sever their connection with the rad
ical propaganda. We doubt very
much that very many farmers favor
either government ownership or the
present course of the labor unions.

Faculty at Yale
Approves Boxing g
On Broader Scale

NEW HAVEN, Dec. 26.-The popular
ity which boxing enjoyed in the army
and navy during the World War has
led to decision by the Yale faculty to
allow the organization of the sport
along broader lines than heretofore.
A boxing association will be formed
after the Christmas vacation and bouts
Will be held by the undergraduates at
the different weights.
1t is uncertain whether matches with
representatives of other colleges will
be allowed or not, as the sport is not
organized among the Eastern univer-
stiles, but a plan which has been dis
cussed is that of having two or three
round bouts as intermission events
during the winter season. For in
stance, if g Yale Princeton basketball
game is scheduled, it has been sug-
gested that during the intermission a
three~round bout might be held be-
tween boxers OF the two universities.
Moses King, the former Connecticut
lightweight champion, will have charge
of the boxing classes, as well as the in
ing instructor at Yale for nearly twenty
years, but no undergraduate champion,
ships have been held before and nc
bouts with other colleges nave been
permitted. King was instructor of box
ing at Camp Devens during the war,
and also had charge of the mitt III
struction of Yale undergraduates as
members of the reserve officers train
ing corps.
Eddie Eagan, winner of the A. z. f.
middleweight boxing tournament at
Paris, will probably be chosen head Of
tho proposed boxing association.
