WOMEN need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.

gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

AWFUL THRILLS
OF FIRST RIDE.
Owner of New Car Quickly Dis
covers He Cannot Shift Gears
Like Demonstrators.
TRAFFIC TANCLES PUzzLING
Rules Of the Road, Especially Getting
by Policeman at Crossing, Often
Get Drivers Goat-Many
Things Forgotten.

When you go out with the demon
stratOr in the new car you have
bought, running it looks just as easy
as giving candy to child, but when
you start out by yourself-that's diff
ferent.
About the first trouble you have is
with your gears, and while you are
certain that you can shift them as
we'll as the demonstrator did. you dis
cover that you can't, and in all prob
ability you blame it on the car.
Road Rules Bother.
Then there's the rules of the road,
and especially getting by the traffic
policeman. If you ever noticed it.,
when the officer holds up his hand you
stop and kill your engine and bump
back and forth when you go. to start,
and tie up other cars, and finally two
or three cars pass you and you can
see black looks and hear voice call
ing out something that you know isn't
complimentary.
When you try to back up you are
likely TO BACK into another car, or
over curb, or into telephone pole,
and when you're out for the first time
you usually want the entire street
clear when you go to pass another
machine, and you feel like you'd rath-
er stop than try to pass street car.
Then, again. you've wondered what
was the matter with your new car
because it wouldn't go right and
bumped along and the engine heated
like furnace and you couldn't get
your machine out of slow walk.
Possibly you have stopped and tele-
phoned the service man to come and
see what was the matter. He came,
released your brake and you were all
right.

Resolutions Of Respect.

A great shadow fell upon Reelfoot
church and community when Bro. j..
B. Bruer was called from our midst to
90 up higher. Reelfoot Church lost
one OF her strongest and most faithful
members, Obion County lost one Of her
best citizens. Though we do not m
derstand all the mysteries Of death. nor
life, and though in our deep grief we
cannot understand why God has called
one OF our most faithful, yet wes have
the assurance that all things work to-
gether for good to those who love God.
Bro. Bruer would have been 67 years
old had he lived until Feb. 81, 1920.
He was called away on Christmas day,
about noon, with all OF his family
around him. He was buried at Anti
och the next day. There was a vast
assembly OF his friends present to pay
him their last respects. Therefore be
it resolved
First: That we, the members OF
Reelfoot Church, have lost one Of our
noblest members, but we are assured
that our loss is his gain.
Second: That we keep in remem-
brance his quiet, sanity life; his gen
eral help in all good works; that we are
profoundly thankful for his great influ-
ence for good among US.
Third: That we sympathize with his
wife and children as well as all the
other relatives, 10 their great loss.
Fourth: That copy OF these resolu-
tons be sent to the county papers and
the Baptist Builder for publication,
that copy be sent the family and that
a copy be spread upon the minutes of
our church, which he served so long
and so we'll.

NEVER WAS THERE A
MORE MIRACULOUS CASE
READ THIS TRUE STORY

Mr.. Joe Dannettell, age As years,
born and raised in Evansville, Indi-
ana, salesman for the Bon Bon Bak-
ing Powder, has been sick for over
two years with stomach trouble. He
has tried doctor after doctor, was
opcrated on, his gall bladder re-
moved, also his appendix. This did
not give him relief. Finally they all
told him they would have to give him
up and brought him home from the
hospital to die. He could retain
nothing on his stomach, not even
Sroths. He vomited every time hefate,
ne looked like he was starving and
lest ninety pounds in weight. His
case looked hopeless, and he as we'll
as lis wife was very much discour-
aged.
Being a friend of John H. Rohsen-
berger, the chemist who discovered
Lucky 10 Tonic, who took pity on
poor Joe and his wife and said: "If
the doctors have given you up, Joe,
suppose you try Lucky 10 Tonic" He
got bottle and took it regularly for
three days, when all of a sudden, bed
lam broke loose and his liver and
kidneys began to work and such
green bile that passed from him was
a sight. After weeks treatment of
Lucky 13 Tonic he could get up out
of bed and walk about the house and
began playing the piano. His appetite
came back, he could eat anything and
retain it after taking the first dose
of this medicine, and is hungry all
the time. Eating a square meal and
retaining it was something he was
not able to do for months. All that
was the matter with Mr.. Dannettell
was that his liver was not perform
ing it's functions and had not for two
years. Lucky 10 started the bile and
his liver to action, gave him an ap-
petite and he soon gained strength

AID his wife are thankful that they
camo across Lucky 10 Tonic. They
believe in Lucky 13 Tonic and say it
was lucky day when they came
across this lucky medicine. If you
or any of your friends are suffering
likewise tell them about Lucky 13
Tonic. We believe Lucky Is can
cure them or else do them a lot OF
good, relieve them of much suffering
and finally cure them. Any one sick
as Mr.. Dannettell would consider
themselves lucky to get we'll. Get a

ping and for a brief respite from the

value of good advertising, judging
from the liberal patronage which is
being accorded the Herald. Mr.
Craven, besides being an all round

good linotype operator, and dur
ing a pleasant call at The Chieftain
office he gave the office force a few
valuable pointers on handling our
linotype, which has been out of COM
mission for the past two and half
months for the want of an operator.
We still need an operator, in spite
of all the bribery and other induce-
ments we have offered. We are told
that there are dozens of linotype men
laying around Denver, but as long as
they can get one or two days work
a week they will not come out to

PETITIONS sEgT n FOR
TWO NEW NAIL ROUTES
Daily Service Needed Both North
and South Of Holly ON Rural
Mail Lines.

Postmaster j. I. Adkins sent in
petitions TO the department at Wash
mgtOn Monday OF lais week asking
for additional mail service over two
of the present mail routes now run
ming out of Holly.
The patrons along the line known
as the Holly T0wner star route which
has heretofore been receiving mail
three times q week have asked for a
daily service. and the number of pa
irons on the line as at present ira
versed justifies the demand
The other petition has to do with
the South Star route. where daily
service is also asked, and q slight ex-
tension of the line. The line runs
due south rs miles as at present serv-
ed, whereas the petitioners ask to
have the route extended at its
southern extremity east to the state
line and along the state line back
into Holly. This extension will give
service to many patrons heretofore
having no rural mail service, many
of whom are newcomers to this Sec
ton, and left behind them daily rural
mail service which they miss here.
While there is no certainty about
the granting of these petitions, it
will be we'll for the patrons interest
ed to get busy with letters to Con-
gressman Hardy. who is a member OF
the postoffice and post roads COM
mittee in congress, demanding this
service. A letter on the subject sent
to the Holly Commercial Club and to
The Chieftain will likewise have a
weight and may secure the desired
service.
Your Indifference in this matter in
not writing the sources above refer
red to will be taken as conclusive that
you do not care. The department
has ample resources for ascertaining
this sort of indifference on the part
OF the people who are most interested
in this service, and not infrequently,
are influenced accordingly. Hence
patrons along these proposed routes
will help their cause materially by
getting busy.
