Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect 1t.
 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 healthy con dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita. ble and may be Respondent; 1t makes any . one so
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root. the great kidney, liver and fSdder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton. N. Y., you may receive sam pie size bottle by Parcel Post You can purchase medium and large size bottles at sll drug s..-Advertisement.

WAS drawn by Representative Mau- den of Illinois. the new char man of the greater appropriations con- mittee of the house which from now on will be known as the budget com mittee. The amendment will give the President of the United States the power to veto any appropriation bill. either in whole or in part. ESQ that he may exercise his discretion in eIimi- mating any item which to him seems eXtravagant Wasteful and unwise. The quoted words are those of Repre- sentative Madden.
 The Constitution of the United States gives the President the power to veto any bill as Il whole. but it does not give him the power to veto parts of bills Of course it iS easily seen that to give the executive power to veto parts of an kinds of legislation might result in an abuse of power. and in infinite confusion but appropria- tion bills are one thing and other kinds of bills are another thing.
 Through the whole legislative history of the United States the appropriation bills at different times have been made the medium of carriage of legislation which the dominant party desired To see enacted into law and which 1t thought would receive the Presidents $ signature because If he did not sign the bill as Il whole the department of government for which the approprla- tions were to be made would have to cease functioning. or at least would have to run on credit until another ap- propriaton bill could be passed.
 Seniority Rule Is Broken.
 A rule which only rarely is broken was violated when Rep. Martin B. Madden was chosen by his party in the house of representatives to he the head of the budget com mittee. Not long ago Representative Good of Iowa, who was the chairman of the enlarged house appropriations 1 committee, now called the budget com l mittee. resigned from congress.

May Delay Tariff Action.


 The house has passed the Fordney- Penrose tariff bill, for so probably will the present customs legislation be known to economic history. The senate possibly may take up the tariff bill and put it through before tackling taxation. but the chances seem to be that il will mark time on tariff and wait until the house has passed the tax bill so that upper house consideration may given to that measure first.
 Nothing rotuteS like the tariff. It Is "go-round," but whether or not It is Il "merry go-round" depends ups the viewpoint.
 When one writes of the varying viewpoints on tarin measures he gets Il sharp realization of extremes. Mir kordney, who iS chairman of the house committee on ways and means and the house father of the present Iarif' bill. occupies q field far re moved from that in which Mir. Under wood, formerly of the house. but now ot the senate. has taken his place Yet Mir Underwood of Alabama. com ing from a manufacturing district. is not as markedly low taritf man as are many of his Democratic colleagues Perhaps the greatest difference in the viewpoint of two men on tariff legis- latiou k that which Hes between the position taken by Mir, rordney and that taken some yearS ago by Mir. Will son. who fathered the Democratic bill of the Cleveland administration.
 A Republican, representative. a believer in high tariir legislation. has lust told me that even his Repub- llcan colleagues are willing to admit. because they mus; admit, that tarif legislation this year iS to some extent legislation In the dark. IL k the eco homie situation in Europe which makes things so uncertain. Not all the wisdom in the house and in the senate Is sufficient to brighten the eye of Knowledge so that il can look into the future and see what is going to happen. When Europe heglns to get on its feet induStrlally 1t may be that there must be revision of some of the schedules of the tariff bill which will pass congress at this session.
 It is the uncertainty in the case which accounts for the comparative lack of interest which the represent atives of American industries showed in the preiminaries of taritf legisln- ton this year
 So there is admission that the pres ent tariff bill is to d considerable ex- tent ,N experimental one. It may do all that 1t is hoped by Its sponsors that II will do, and 1t may fail % meet the requirements aof coming cases.

A pretty home wedding was solemnized at the home ot Dr. and Mrs. L. A. Jelks in this city Tuesday, Jan. II, 1921, when Mrs. Jelks gave in marriage her daughter, Miss Gretchen Tarpley, to Mir. Vernon E. Huff, both of McCrory, only a few immediate friends and relatives being present. The ceremony was said by the Rev. Guy Murphy, pastor of the Methodist churcch following which the happy couple left for a short bridal trip to Hot Springs.
 The bride is the refined and accomplished daughter of Mrs. l.. A. Jelks and recently re- signed her position as teacher in the Harrisburg High School a position which she has held for several years.

time often forbade under the old plan. Excuses for failure are hard to find by the teach CT under the present system.
 (4) Under the old plan each child in the lower grades, at least, had only one teacher over him during the day. Under the new he has at least three. Yet with the modified system we use, the academic teacher retains the personal touch'' with the pupil, since she has him longer than the other teachers. The advantage in having different teachers teach the child IS readily seen when we reflect that every teacher can teach some one or two subjects bet ter than she can any others, and consequently under the old plan the child would be weak along some lines. Under our modified plan, how ever, we cannot carry this idea of specialization to the extent that the system contemplates.
 (5) Under the old plan with our present building facilities halliday sessions in some of the lower grades would be necessary if effect i've work should be done. Now, all the pupils can come to school all day without very noticeable crowding. The choice is too obvious for com ment.
 (6) Under the old system, all the pupils were out at play at the same time. Under the new, a part are out at one time, but some are out each period of the day. Here is where the real test of the sys- tenn comes. Is it better to permit each pupil in company
 ith a few others to have at different times during the day two long periods of play and recreation supervised by a teacher at all times or to grant him in compny with the two short periods only nom- inally supervised? In the

SOLDIERS REMAINS N
 ARE RETURNED HOME.

The remains of Private Will liam Henry Davis, an over- seas soldier who died in Paris, France of wounds, arrived in McCrory Monday and were laid to rest in the Fakes Ceme- tery. The services were con- ducted at the Methodist Church by the Rev. Guy Mur- phy, a large number of friends and relatives attend ing.
 The deceased was 29 years of age, was born 1889 in Tip ton county, Tenn, and was the youngest of ten children. The most of his life was spent at Tyronzia, Ark, where he joined the Methodist church in 1911.
 On June 10, 1917, Mir. Davis answered the call of his country enlisting at Tyronza with Company c, 1st Arkan- sas. He received his training at Camp Pike and Camp Beauregard. On April Is, 1918, he sailed for overseas landing in France May 7. His active service on the front began June 1, 1918, as a mem Der of Company M, 23rd. h. fantry, End. Division. He was wounded in June and later was gassed. A later wound was received at Belleau Wood, Argonne Forest, caus- ing his death which occurred Oct. 13, 1918. He leaves a mother, Mrs. Mary Ellen Davis of McCrory; three sis~ ters, Mesdames Sarah Leach, Mollie Shankle and Jennie Manby of McCrory; three brothers, Messrs D. L. Davis of Manila, Ark, J. P. Davis of Covington, Tenn, and J. c. : Davis of McCrory, and host of friends to mourn his loss.

WHICH SCHOOL?

merits and demerits of the system of school now being conducted in McCrory. And as was suggested at the open ing of school last September some few months must elapse before anyone could consist ently or honestly assert that work-study-play rogra m would or would not be suc- cessful in our community. The necessary months have passed and no further excuse against publicity of facts can be had. Nor is any wanted.
 Teachers, the Foundation.
 To begin, it is not remiss to mention the age-old adage that the teacher makes the school. This system antici- pates teachers who shall be specialists in the respective lines of teaching and who shall be very alive to the in- terests of the school as a whole. This should be the standard demanded of all teachers employed.
 The Old vs the New
 CD Under the old plan of school each pupil had a desk to himself and at which he spent most of the day. Un- der the new he must share it with at least other pupil, the two using it at different times, however. The old plan is probably superior in this instance, since some of the pupils must of necessity be furnished bookcases in the cloakrooms and halls where their property may be stored when not in use. Experience has demonstrated, however, that the loss of books, pencils, etc., is only slightly, if at all, greater than formerly. Yet it may be said in this connect ion that a few pupils forget to leave their hats, coats, etc., in their own cloakrooms, car rying them about as they change rooms instead, thereby losing" them sometimes.
 (2) Under the old plan almost every room had at least two classes in it during school hours-one reciting and one studying" Under the new only one class is in room during recitation. This Is one of the greatest advan- tages of the new plan.
 (3) Under the old plan the recitation period was very short, from ten to thirty min utes in fact. Under the new, the periods are over 50 min utes long. It is true that more than one subject is taught each period in the low CT grades, but a good teacher correctly correlates these sub- lects and the sustained at tentlon of the pupils is. accom- plshed. Then, too, t h e period is amply long to permit ot drill work, which may be needed on special subjects oc- caslonally, and which lack of
