Union of Methodist Churches.
Louisville Ky.-Recommendatio of
the joint commission of the Methodist
Episcopal Churches, North and South,
that the two branches be reunited,
were unanimously adopted by the con-
yentlon here of the 100 or more bish-
ops, pastors and layrnen OF both
churches. The merger plan provided
that the unified churches be named
"The Methodist Church"
This action will no doubt result in
bringing the two largest branches of
Methodism back together, as the de-
tails have been worked out to the sat
isfaction of the joint commission ap-
pointed for this purpose.
The plan can not finally be acted
upon until 1922, as the general confer
ences meet only every four years and
the next meeting of this chief body of
the NJ. +. Church South will be held in
May, 1922.
The union will mean a great saving
In men and church property and should
bring good results in other respects
also.

Two Chapters in Life of Dead" Indian

though 1t is the capital of the Usage
nation, is a white mans town. John
made friends with II dogs that were
as lonely as he. The town marshal
notified him to keep his dogs off the
streets. John didn't understand the
order. or didn't want to. and didn't
care a whoop anyway. Whereupon the
marshal took a shot and hit one of the
dogs-a little white one. John never
said word. He picked up the little
dog and carried it out of town. He sat
watching 1t until it died. Then he got
up and said: "John Stink is through
with white man." And he has never
come to town since.
John lives under two blankets
stretched between trees beside the fiat
stone where he watched the little white
dog die. Most of his dogs are dead
now.
His guardian sends him a basket Of
food two or three times a week. The
government agency sends him his
share of the Usage oil money, and he
is a rich man.
But he stands all day on the fat
stone and practices throwing knives.
He can kill bird on the wing with a

II You Need a Medicine

reason IL plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to q medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, a. like
an endless chain system the remedy 10
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, .
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large .

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
90 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
