HURT ALL OVER
Texas Lady Couldn't Sit, Stand or
Lie With Amy Comfort. Says
''Cardui Did World
Of Good"

Bartlett, Texas.-Mrs. Mamie Mes
ser, Of Route 3, this place, states:
About three years ago ! was in a
very critical condition. / had been
suffering for some time To tell how
! hurt would be impossible.
II just hurt all over: couldn't sit,
stand or lay with any comfort, my
back, sides and head all gave me a
great deal of trouble.
Il was especially bothered with a
light swimming in my head. My
people were very uneasy about me and
sent me to my relatives to see II a
change would do me any good.
II stopped at a sister-in-law's and
she being a great believer in Cardui,
asked me why l didn't use 1t. / de-
Cided to try 1t
II had only taken few doses when
felt 1t would do me good This
gave hopes and l used 1t right along
and 1t did me just a world of good,
since which time l have never ceased
to praise Cardui."
Cardui is for simple female com.
plants and womanly pains and has
been found to benefit in thousands of
such cases when not due to malfor-
nation or that do not require surgical
treatment. Try 1t. NC-136a

to the fact that only II years ago
all the members of the class had just
started to school in the primary
grades. He considered it worthy of
remark that 81 members of the class
had been members of that primary
Grade II years ago in this school, the
grade then embracing some $50
pupils.
Following Mr.. Travis address, the
high school orchestra played and the
Rev. l.. A. Harrel dismissed the
audience Wi h the benediction.
The stage presented striking APP
pearance. The girl members of the
class were dressed in white gowns
and carried large bouquets while
the boys wore white trousers and
black coats. The members of the
board o. ducation and the high
school faculty occupied seats on the
stage - the side and rear of the
class. The theater was completely
filed and many were forced to
stand.

CLEAR WEATHER TO AID
CROPS, SAYS J. q. SUGGS

j. T. Suggs,. of Smithville COM
munity was a visitor to Americas Fri
day and a caller at the Times-Re-
corder office.
"The corn is looking fine" said
Mr.. Suggs, "and the rains seem not
to have hurt it in the least. The
cotton, however, is smaller in some
places than it was two weeks ago,
and looks drawn and colorless. At
the present time | do not believe cot
ton will have to be replanted, for
with clearing weather and bright
sunshine great progress can be made.
1t is going to take a lot of hard
work on the part of everybody.
THE peaches are very watery and
correspondingly tasteless. The little
watermelons are dropping from the
vines, and it may be the rains have
damaged the crop considerably
These unusual weather conditions
come occasionally, and the farmers
think they are utterly ruined, but
with clearing weather conditions q
spirit of optimism again prevails, anC
we are all happy.
Sumter county is a great coun
ty, and there will always be plent!

MANY CASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry.
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twlnge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoonful
in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles. ~sA a-x 1su. A
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have pleasant,
effervescent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.

right. We are not after the truth
all the time, Christ was a Man who
told the truth all the time, and you
know what the public said. When
Plate asked of the populace whom
he should release to them, Jesus or
Barabas, the thief and murderer,
they called for the release of Bara-

CAVE
MAN
STUFF

Back near the beginning
of things. our prehistoric
forebears would have per-
ished from the earth if
they had not understood
the science of reading ad-
vertising.
The cavemen didn't
know much about under
wear, hair tonic or phon-
ographs, but they did have
to eat. The one who could
follow the tracks of the
game he hunted. or read
the meaning of a twisted
leaf or broken twig, was
best off in life.
Then as now, the most
consistent reader of add
vertising was best dressed,
best fed and most con-
tented.
There has been some
thing of an evolution in
advertising in the last few
thousands of years, but
the principle is just the
same.
The consistent reader of
the advertisements is in
variably best informed on
what to eat and where to
get it; what to wear and
how to pay for it; what to
do and how to do it. He's
up on the most important
things in life. Conse-
quently he gets most from
life.
Throughout the ages, ad-
vertising has done much
to make life livable and
pleasant. We owe it much.
Let's Make
The Most OF 1t
