WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other or 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. kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions
 Get medium or large size bottle im- mediately from any drug store.
 However if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. i. Kilmer $ Co.,, Binghamton, N Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper

 ~ WATERLOO
 , By NM. ERCKMANN- CHATRIAN Condensation by Charles E. L. Win1ate

Erckmann-Chatriani is the joint name of two French writers whose coliabora- tion made their work that of, so to speak, one personality; the former writing chiefly and the latter editing and adapting for the stage. Emile Erci<mann was born on the 20th of May, 1922, at Phalsbourg; and Louis Gratfan Alexandre CEatrian, on the 18th of December, 1928, at SoIdatentLal, Lorraine. They began their work to- gether in 1S47 and continued doing so until 1889.
 Among their first publications are "Science ct Genfe," "Schinderhanneso and many short stories. The series of novels to which ErckmaBn-C Cha trian owe in great part their reputation i'm cludes "Le FOu Yegof," "Madame Therese," "HistOire dun COnscrit de 1S13," "LAmi Fritz" "Histoire de Homme des Peuple," md many others.
 Their dramatic competitions and adaptations are "GeOrges 1e Chasseur des Ruines," "L'A1sace en 1914"
 Their stories, dealing with the reaI- ties of the times, are distinguished by simplicity and genuine descriptive power, particularly in battle scenes and those of Alsatian peasant life.

 Trouble That Followed.

"1 weighed just hundred and three pounds when l began taking Tanlac, but now l weigh a hundred and twen- ty-two pounds,n declared Mrs. Amy Peterson, the wife of a prosperous farmer of Lakeville, Mass, suburb of New Bedford
 T had acute Indigestion" she said. and no one knows how I suffered. l had cramping pains in my stomach that were almost unbearable, and suffered no end of distress from gas and bloating. Why, l was actually starving to keep from being in such awful misery, and I lost thirteen der how I lived through it all, and l just thought there was no hope for me. I was restless night and day and was easily irritated and some nights I slept so little it didn't seem that had been to bed at all.
 But now I feel as strong and well as if I had never been sick day in my life, and I just know Tanlac is the best medicine in the world. haven't a touch of indigestion now, and every time l sit down to the table can't help but feel thankful to Tanlac. 1 have a wonderful appetite and have gained back all my lost weight and six pounds besides. I am simply overjoyed to be feeling so we'll, and 1 just praise Tanlac everywhere I go."

Stolen At Arab

CORDELE, June 8.-The home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. T Royal, at Arab,
was robbed several nights ago and
diamonds and iewelry valued at
more than $1,000 were stolen. One

When she and Mr.. Royal went out
later to visit friends, she unthought-

O'Clock, she remembered leaving the
JeWelry case out and made a search
for 1t. The case was gone, with one
diamond crescent, one pearl brooch,
harvest moon and leaf, one diamond
bracelet; wrist watch, two pendants

intrinsic value of the stolen proper

dollars, but Mrs Royal prizes the ar

SPRAY HBERTAS
NOW Is WARNING
Bulletin lust Issued By
Peach Insect Labor
atorY

Growers must spray Elbertas i'm
mediately to control new curculios
now emerging frmo the SOIL" says
a bulletin from the U. S. peach in
sect laboratory at Fort Valley. The
bulletin follows:
1.-The new adult curcuios have
been emerging from the soil for the
past several days, and all growers
are warned to spray Elbertas inn
mediately with arsenate of lead and
sclf-boiled lime-sulphur to keep the
second brood of larvas of worms
from damaging the crop. The APP
peaTance of these new beetles was
expected, and there is no reason for
alarm on the part Of the growers
if the arsenical is applied at once.
Georgia Bellies need no further ar
sonical spraying if they received one
during the week of May 30-JuNc 4
as recommended, nor will Hileys if
they received it the week before
Georgia Bellies.
"0n account of the new beetles
now emerging growers are cautioned
to make the application to the Ell
bertas very thoroughly, making an
effort to cover each side of the fruit
with the spray. Use the self-boileG
lime-sulpur/ (32-32-2O0) to the
pounds of arsenate Of lead powder Or
the 80-5-15 dust.
GAS soon as possible after each va
riety is harvested pick up all fruit

on the ground in the orchard and
pull everything from the trees. De-
stroy this fruit by burying with
quicklime. Do not leave it lay out
exposed. By picking all fruits from
the trees soon after harvest all pos
sibility of brown rat cankers will be
eliminated. The gathering up of all
fallen fruit after harvest will elm
mate sources of brown rot infection
to the 1922 crop, and viii also de-
stroy many curculio larvae thereby
reducing the number of beetles to
winter over.
Growers are particularly warned
about throwing culls out exposed.
Piles of exposed culls will soon make
great sources from which brown rot
is disseminated and where the dis
eases is carried over winter. Bury
deep with uuicklime or thoroughly
burn all culls during the 1921 sea,
son. Keep in mind that a pest free
crop is also desired in 1922"
