Dire Distress
Is Near at Hand to Hundreds of lronton
Readers.

Don't neglect an aching back.
Backaohe is often the kidneys cry
for help.
Neglect hurrying to the kidneys
aid means that urinary trouble may
follow.
Or danger of worse kidney trouble.
Here's convincing testimony.
Mrs. r. A. Cunningham, Federal
Hill, Flat River, Mo-, says: II was
troubled with my kidneys for several
years and finally could hardly get
about. My back was weak and lame
and panied constantly and my feet
and limbs were so swollen I could
hardly bear my weight. My kidneys
didn't act right, either. Four boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills put my kid
neys in good order. The swelling was
reduced and was relieved of the ter
rible backaches."

Would Make National Park of Pilot Knob.
[Poplar Rluff Republican.l !

Poplar Bluff Republican,
According to press dispatch from
Washington, December 18th, Con-
gressman Marion E. Rhodes has in
troduced a bill in congress asking that
Pilot Knob, in Iron County, be made
a national park, and that 100000 be
appropriated "for the Inauguration of
the work Of turning this historic bat
tlefield into government park"
This move on the part of Congress-
man Rhodes Is a meritorious one and
should he succeed in inducing Con-
gress to act favorably in the matter
and establish here a great national
park this alone would no doubt be
sufficient to remove all opposition, in
his own party at least, to his aspira-
tions for reelection in 1920.
Pilot Knob and the region round
about is not only inviting because of
its healthfulness and Typographical
grandeur, but it is surrounded with
memories which make it almost hal
lowed ground to many Missourians-
for here was fought one of the great
battles of the Civil war.
Beautified as the region would be
under government control, a national
park here would attract people from
all parts Of the State, and especially
from st. Louis and the rural districts
of Southeast Missouri Here is a
chance for every commercial club and
other civic organization in Southe ast
Missouri, as well as the great metrop-
oils of the state, st. Louis, to lend a
helping hand in the advance Of a
great undertaking.

1t is believed that but for the fed

In the building of highways. The

state money with an equal amonn

stimulates the construction of new hnt

July, 1918, and November, 1919, th'

Stealing to their ear;
Twas the Savior calling,
Soft, soft and clear
Calling from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. 7. A. Meyer, GranitevilIe, Mo-,
on December u, 1919, precious one,
Thomas Alfred Meyer, aged four
years and five months. He died of
diphtheria, having been sick only
short time.
Bro, O. L. Ferguson conducted the
funeral services and the remains we're
laid to rest in the Middlebrook ceme-
terry. He leaves a father, mother,
BROTHER three sisters and other rela
tives to mourn his loss..
Tommy" as we called him, was a
bright, cheerful child and loved by all
who knew him, Although he has
been with us only short time, his
sweet, smiling face will ever linger in
our memory. Home is lonely and
desolate because OF his absence, but
heaven is richer by his presence; and
we would say to the bereaved ones,
"What glorious consolation it is to
know that if you steadfastly look to
Christ, you shall meet him again on a
brighter shore!n
Death has claimed another darling,
Heaven has gained another STAR,
Tommy wears robe in heaven
Whittier than snow by far.
No more he'll feel the cares of earth,
Now he's laid to rest;
In our hearts there is the longing,
Oh, God, new hope place in our
breast
Teach us in our great sorrow
To trust within Thy love;
So when our tasks are ended,
We all may meet above. L. T.

Women and the Vote.

mrs Geo. Bass, Chairman Woman's Bureaul
Recent events force us to believe
that the Republican party is depend
ing now, as is usually the case, on the
swollen campaign money bag. The
result of the campaign Of 1916 proved
that the Presidency of the United
States could not be bought and it will
be shown that 1t is not SO easy as it
was formerly to buy seat in the
Senate of the United States.
The women of the nation are bring
Ing to their new privilege of voting a
high sense of responsibility for good
government. They are accepting the
franchise with consciousness that
the welfare OF the country depends
on the honesty and integrity of the
persons chosen to make its laws and
administer its affairs. / believe that
the great body of new voters will be
profoundly shocked il it shall be
proved that large amounts of money
have been spent in order to change
political majorities In Congress.
Women are strongly influenced by
moral issues. In states where they
have had the ballot for a number oil
years 1t has been demonstrated that
they donot put party before principle
and that they are quick to resent ar
insult to their established standardsin
social and civic affairs. The charge
that they put personality before par
| ty often has been made and 1t Is true
| to the extent that they generally de-

From Near Arcadia Heights.


Since our last communication to
the REGISTER, nothing Of particular
interest has occurred in this section.
Mrs. ]. D. Vance and daughter left
here last week to visit friends and
relatives in Tennessee. They will
not return until after the holidays
are over, it is said. Mr. Vance re-
mained at home to look after his
property and the property of others
on the "Heights." Mr.. Vance is a
man who never negleets his duty;
with him, it is always "business be-
fore pleasure" We certainly would
be much better off if we had more
such men as he.
Since our last letter from this point,
Miss Grace Depew, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Eli Depew, was married to
a Mr.. Lowe, of Oklahoma. Miss Grace
was kind and industrious girl, and
has many friends, who wish that her
future life may be happy andprosper-
Gus.
DR.. Milford Riggs and Mr.. Green
recently called on your writer.
While in the White store last Sum
day, ne met our old time friend, Red
mond Black, Of Redmondville. Mr.,
Black was on his way home from
Washington, where he had been for
several weeks, looking at that country
with view of locating there. He
informed us that he liked the country
fairly well, but did not think he would
remove there owing to the very high
price of land and other property, in
that country.
Mrs. Martin and daughter, Mary,
visited Mrs. j. 7. Patterson Wednes-
day last.
We notice that the pupils in the
Teachers Training Class in the Iron
ton High School attended the Long
trial at the recent term of Circuit
Court in Iron County. This fact gave
them an opportunity to get some real
concrete examples of the workings Of
Court that they would hardly get from
the subject matter found in most text
books on government, and at the
same time give an excellent oppor-
tunity for observation lessons along
the line of government, which they
would not otherwise get. Such meth
ods of teaching will produce tangible
results, and we heartily endorse Prof
Brookshire's work as Superintendent
and teacher. He had a clear con-
ception of the real technique of teach
ing, which many never get from the
boiled down principles of Pedagogy
and Psychology.
Your correspondent recently stop
ped over night with Mr.. Charles Kuhr
and his mother, who live on Marble
Creek. Mrs. Kuhn owns very fine
farm on Marble Creek, which is prob
ably worth $4,000. Mrs Kuhn readl

sequently is very well posted and up
to-date on all political and economic
questions now before the public. He

worked in Texas as fireman on al
