Why Rest is So Necessary.


Your physician will tell you that
whenever possible you should lie down
for a little rest each day. To do so
will take some of the load OFF that
faithful heart Of yours which keeps
pumping away without cessation day
and night. Your physician will explain
that when sitting down, 8s compared
with standing. you save your heart
nine beats a minute, and that when
you lie down you take of an.additional
six beuts. SO merely lying down means
less pumping TO he done, and less wear
and tear on the body's most vital or.
gan.
1t is thrift of time TO take n few
moments each day from the activities
Of ones work aud stretch out full
length. Housewives and others whose
work keeps them on their feet a great
deal should sit as much as possible.
Increased vitality and longer lives will
result from following these simple sug.
geshons,

whea. Always Preferred Food.

While more people are living IN the
world today dependent upon rice than
upon wheat for subsistence and a
greater number Of the human family
live upon mlllet than any other cereal
food, wheat is the preferred food
among the higher civilized peoples
The more progressive peoples OF the
earth have eve: been wheat eaters.
Grains of wheat have been discovered
In Egyptian tonbs of the first dynas-
ty. dating back 1900 B. c., while
bread Of wheat has been cxcayated

A DUAL TRAGEDY


shooting that took place Tuesday about
noon at Kissee Mills.
A little alter one o'clock Herman
Ford came into F0rsytn for doctor,
saying tha, Henry Hunt had shot Tom
and Ben Cardwel. Hunt got in abou
the same time and gave himself up 10
the sheriff and was locked UP, Be-
Cardwell lived only very short time.
He was shot through the left thigh
and bled to death. Ton, the father,
was shot through the right thigh. The
wound was so serious that the doctor
advised the only chance was to take
him 10 Springfield to a hospital.
The prosecuting attorney went out
Immediately and took Tom CardwelPs
statement OF the affair, at his home,
before they started to take the dying
man to the hospital
Early Wednesday moraiug eight
men started from Kissee Mills with
Cardwell on a stretcher A truck left
Forsyth and met them about three
miles from town. The tip was too
hard, however, and be bIsathed his
last, about eight o'clock, mile out OF
town. They took his body TO Otto
VOLTS, where it lay few hours before
it was taken back to the home.
The wife and mother, with Bob her
son, started on ahead Of the truck for
the dam, where they expected to take
the boat for Branson aud did not know
until their arrival that the wounded
man had died. So they drove on back
10 Otto VOLTS, where all that was left
Of Tom Cardwell lay at rest.
1t was pitiIul, hesrtrending sight
the slain man and the stricken wife,
so cruelty bereit o! two so dear to her.
II don't see how l can give them
both up" This is the hardest thing
that has ever hung over me-" I
could hardly bear 10 leave Ben lying
there, had not seen him since he was
shot," she said, and she sat there,
weaty, worn, desolate, refusing to take
any rest.
The Cardwells will both be buried
Thursday afternoon at the Brown Gem
etery. Tom would have been fifty nine
years old and Ben twenty FIVE, both on
the same day in April.
Messages were sent to The children
away from home--a son and daughter
in Oklahoma, a daughter in New Mex
leo. There are Two sons and three
daughters living in this county. Ben
Cardwell also leaves a widow.
Henry Hunt also has wife and foul
children. He is about twenty FIVE
years old. Hi parents live neal
Dickens.
It seems that the trouble arose ovel
the possession OF what is known as the
Jess Sims place. Csrdwell bought the
phase at foreclosure sale. Hunt occu
pied it and refused 10 give it up
About month ago Hunt came TO For
