THEIR FIRST QUARREL

They dropped in from Charlotte Ia
Henry Ford bright and early yester-
day morning. There was smile on
his face and smile on hers.
Anybody could see that something
was up.
He parked the flivver in front OF a
local drug store and then he inquired
where the probate judges office was:
He made his inquiry in serious ana
solemn mein while she Uttered ana
giggled. =,
The information was given and ne
started to crank the flivver and go
on over that way toward the onlce
of the dispenser Of marriage licenses.
Then she said something about that
new dress you promised TO buy TOT NE
tc b. married in.
And he was heard OF say, "well go
get il: but don't pay over - for II.
And she said yes, and went into a
store on the corner And when the
lady clerk who waited on her inquired
whether she was married or ABOUT 70

wouldn't say. - .,o
So she bought the dress and then the
lady clerk took her up stairs and heip-
ed her to put it on and to NIX every
thing just so.
And then she came out and up to
the fiivver where the prospective nus
band was waiting. -,
She called his attention to the dress
and she wanted to know II you don I
think it's pretty" and he said yes.
And then he inquired the amount II
cost.
And the drug clerk and the loafer
and the newspaper reporter who were
watching the whole proceedings from
q distance couldn't catch just what
she said: but they figured that 1t mad
cost more than he had expected be-
cause he frowned and gritted ms
teeth like, and then she pouted III
tie bit.
Then he shrugged his shoulders and
frightened up q bit and told her TO get
in the car. And she did just that and
snuggled up rather close to him de-
spite the fact that the thermometer
was around so and they went over TO
the office of Judge Houston who did
the rest.
And a short time afterward he was
smiling and she was admiring her
wedding dress as the little fiivver start
ed back toward Charlotte in the coun-
ty of Mecklenburs.
And the drug clerk remarked to the
loafer. "if they fall out about the pills
this early in the game, how'll II De
year from now?"
And the loafer shrugged his should
ers and smiled.

From Federal correspondents on the

WEEK IN COTTON
All Indications Point to Continued Up
ward Trend.


New Orleans, Sept. 4.-Cott?n TINS
last week was active and stronger than
II has been for many months previous
and prices were sent to new hlgn
levels for the season and to the highest
points registered since early last win
ter, October rising, at it's best, to l756
and May to 1922. January touched lS
cents a pound and the later months
crossed that mark The opening ses-
sion saw the lowest levels OF the week
and the closing session the highest.
New high levels for the season We're
made daily. At the highest the lead
ing months were 221 to 235 points over
the close Of the preceding week and at
the lowest they were three to hVe
points under. On the close the market
showed net gains of PA to 227 points.
October closed at 17.49 and May at
1910. In the spot department middling

closing at II cents. A year ago mid

percentage of 49.S being the lowest
condition report ever issued by the
government. This condition pointed to
a. crop Of but 100000 bales and some
of the buying the last two sessions OF
the week was due TO the claim that
the crop had deteriorated since August
25, and that the chances were for an
other bullish report in September
which would send the indicated crop
figures below the 100000 bale level.
Supplementing the crop report as a
bullish factor were accounts from the
cotton goods centers of the country.

proves that Mr.. Aliens method
is the only one that could have
much effect in your case. Neu-
rasthenia comes from the root
word Neuro, meaning nerve, and
any affection of the nervous sys-

the body, the brain. Can't you
see?
Mr.. Aliens system of treating
disease is known as Suggesto-
Therapy-or plain Suggestion if
you prefer-and if his instruc-
tons are faithfully followed they
will be worth more to any sick
person than all the drug stores
in the world. If you want to get

and begin to study health, and
the man who can teach you how
to do this is Prof. J. H. Allen,

A SERMON ON SICKNESS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Larkin Pearson,
Boomer, N. G.
Dear Friends:
am sending you a prescription for
that disease, Bronchitis. It cured me
twenty years ago. Fill it out and
keep it on hand. On the very start
eomrnence taking it and it will re-
lieve a hard case.
BY the way, I am an invalid, and [
am writing to you for information. I
saw in The Fool-Killer an item about
Prof. J. I'll. Allen, s. t., of Chamois,
Mo-, but I don't understand his sys-
tenn of treatment. We have Alfopath-
lie, Homeopathic, Eclectic, Electric,
Botanic, Osteopathic, Chiropractic,
Christian Science, Indian Doctors,
Faith Cures, ETC., and they all claim
to cure. But like so many different
religions, they all condemn each
other to a certain extent.
OF course if this man a cure a
case, / would like to try his treat
ment. I wrote him about his syetem.
He didn't tell me how, but he wanted
me to send him $500 and he was go
ing to make a new man of me. What
beats me is, if he is such a great doc
tor, I don't see why he doesn't locate
in a larger town where he would have
more advantages I am not denounc'
ing the man. I only hope he a do
some great cures. What a boon to
suffering humanity it would be!
] am 1T going to bore you folks
with a long letter, but I have great
sympathy for anyone that is sick.
My dear wife died eleven years ago,
and she was sick for ten years before
she died, and I have been a victim of
Neuras thenia and other complicated
diseases for Is Or IS years. It has
cost me a little fortune for sickness.

Reply by Mrs. Cora Pearson.

NepIy 10y MIS- Cotd oVit'
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter Of the
Goth, will say that when you
understand MI. Allen s method,
I think you will find no fault
with the method. He does
not work the cure himself, but
just tells you how to let Nature
do the curing. No cure can be
wrought by any other agency
than by Nature, whether you
take medicine or the treatments
of the different systems you
mention. No medicine ever cured
anything-even if it helped, it
only made conditions easier for
Nature to do the curing. The fact
that you say the prescription
cured you OF Bronchitis 20 years
ago and you are now an invalid,
proves that you were not cured.
Very probably your bronchial
symptoms were relieved, but the
CAUSE of those symptoms still
remained. A toxemic state Of the
body from indigestion, imperfect
elimination of waste, etc, is the
CAUSE of the different forms of
disease. The main cause or root
affects the weakest points of the
body, of course.
Now Mr.. Aliens method is
based on the scientific fast that
mind has power over matter.
You would never know you had
a pain if you didn't have a mind,
