Two Big Boys
FussandCuss,
That's All

Come on outside and I'll show
you"
You're a blackguard."
You're a coward"
I'll show you who's a coward"
And the two angry boys ap-
preached each other slowly with
set faces and fists ready for use.
There sprang others between
them to prevent a fight
With slow step the angry boys
took their seats, all the time
glowering across desks at eacn
other.
No. It was not in a school
room.
1t was in the United States
Senate.
The two boys were Senators
Reed and McCumber.
When Senators "bawr' each
other out and threaten to finish
It on the outside" it's called a
matter of personal privilege.
When boys do the same thing
it's called a scrap"
Boys, however, usually finish
the scrap and become friends
after the fight.
Senators are not so wise.
But-'Men don't count much
after all. for they are only boys
grown tall"

u. S. Helps Great Britain's
Cotton Planters.

Great Britain is going to give
a $5,000,000 grant to stimulate
cotton growing throughout the
empire.
For the purpose Of assisting
the cotton growers OF the South.
Gov. Harding, of the Federal
Reserve Board of the United
States, has called a meeting OF
the governors of the Southern
reserve districts.
The cotton growers Of the
South have appealed for more
assistance.
A comment on this by Theo-
dore Samuels, age II. follows:
why don't the United States
tell England that she must pay
up five ponths' interest on the
money she borrowed and which
amounts to $1.000.000 per month.
instead of giving it to their cot
ton growers? Then, the United
States could give this cs5, ,000. 900

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many
times this terrible disease left him
helpless and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years OF
.ceaseless study. that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated impurities, commonly
called uric acid deposits. we're dis
solved in tho joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
with this idea in, mind he con-
suited physicians. made expert
ments and finally compounded a
prescription that quickly and COM
pletely banished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his
system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took 1t, with Whit
might be called marvellous SUI
cess. After years of urging he de-
cIded to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through
the newspapers Fortney Drug Co. /;
Grant Town Agts., Gran. Town
Drug Co., Warrington ACTS, Ingle's
Pharmacy, have been appointed
agents for Allenrhu in this vicinity
with the understanding that they
will freely return the purchase
money on the first two bottles to
all who state they received no
