Tell mother your small joys and sor- rows and ask her advice-it will be good.
 Ask mother to tell you about her girlhood-you'll both enjoy 1t.
 Mother Is girl too. She likes pretty things, love, laughter and compliments. Give her some.
 The spirit of this celebration Is right enough. The letter of it fails. Nobody can tell you how to observe Mothers Day. You know. If she's a red carnation mother make her happy. If she's a white carnatiOn mother, do something that would make her happy if she were a red carnatiOn mother.
 Nobody can draw up a celebration schedule for Mothers Day. How can one, when nobody can find adequate words to write about Mothers Day?
 Mothers Day is something new in the way of holidays-nOt like Christ mas and Easter which are old, old holidays. And it's new, compared with the Fourth. of July. In fact, it's just about the newest holiday we have. It was no longer ago than 1906 that Miss Anne Jarvis of Philadelphia, hon. bring the memory of her own mother on the anniversary of her death, con- ceived of a day of which everyone should do reverence to his mother, whether living or dead. The Worlds Sunday School association adopted the plan, and, in the next few years, an- nually designated one Sunday as Mothers Day. The purposes of this celebration, as stated by Dr. George w. Bailey, then president of the asso- citation, were:
 '"To recall the memories of the mothers that are gone, and through loving words and loving care to brighten the lives of the mothers that remain, and to help children, men and women to a greater blessing in honor ing their fathers and their mothers.
 ITO recall mothers prayers, moth- CTS dying words, and the promises made to mother by the big boy that still mourns her, and to stop and think a little of what she was in her life to ner Ianlly.
 In 1908 Miss Jarvis founded an or ganization now known as Mothers Day International association.
 The idea was taken up by the states. In 1910 the governor of Washington issued a proclamation designating May 8 of that year as Mothers Day" and urged 1t be celebrated by special services and the wearing of a white flower in honor of all mothers. In 1912 the governor of Oklahoma issued a similar proclamation.
 National recognition was given Mothers Day by resolution of the Sixty-third congress, approved by the President of the United States on May 8, 1914. designating that the second

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggistl who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is 50 common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bingham ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Advertisement.

HARDIN PUT BACK

Was Relieved of Both Rheumatism and Stomach Trouble by Tanlac,
 States Los Angeles Man.

"For the second time Tanlac has put me on my feet, and you may know by that what I think of it, said William T. Hardin, 1409 Garden St, Los An geles, Calif.
 'Three years ago, I had rheumatism in my shoulders and neck so bad I could hardly work. I tried medicine after medicine only to get worse, but finally I got hold of Tanlac, and haven't had a trace of rheumatism since.
 Then last summer my stomach got out of order, I lost my appetite and what little I did eat made me feel bloated, all stuffed up and miserable. 1 always felt weak, tired and worn out, and was so nervous I couldn't sleep.
 "Well, Tanlac did a good job for me before, so just got some more of it, and now it has again fixed me up, and I'm feeling strong and energetic like I used to. I'll tell the world Tanlac's S the medicine for me-"
 Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.

But, since human nature Is human nature. every day isn't observed as Mothers Day. There is all the more reason. therefore, for observing the second Sunday in May-May IA, this year-with a real celebration. Some one has tried to figure out a real cele- bration after this fashion for sons:
 Wear a flower in mothers honor . white one if mother is dead; a col cred flower for living mother.
 Send mother box of spring flowers
 Write her a letter-a long one.
 Give mother a whole day of your time for that good visit" she longs for.
 Send mother your picture, and snap shots of your home. your children, your work.
 Tell mother your plans and ambi- tions-she made them possible.
 Tell mother your smaller troubles she wants to help you.
 Thank mother for her care and her teachings-tell her how they have helped you.
 Don't forget that mother still likes candy.
 Mother was your first and truest sweetheart-don't forget to say "T love youw
 For the daughters these things are suggested:
 It's your chance to say thank you" to your best friend-your mother.
 Be sure to celebrate by wearing a flower for mother: White for mothers not living; colored flowers for mother still with you.
 Send mother some gay spring flow CTS, a brilliant bouquet or a thrifty plant.
 Make a dainty cap or a "dress-up" gown or shirtwaist as a love gift to mother.
 If mother is far away, send her a special delivery letter" for her Sun- day treat.
 Send mother the book you just en- 5oyed reading.
 Don't forget to send her pictures of yourself, your friends and your good times.

He says he has smoked more Edgeworth than
 any other living man
Larus & Brother Company Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen

think that am entitled to be called . charter member of the Edgeworth Smokers Club, as have used the Edge worth Sliced Plug between twenty and twenty-five years.
 When I commenced using it was selling hardware on the road. One of my customers who kept . general store told me that he had just received . new to- bacco and wished that would try it. He gave me box for which he charged me 20c. He made a mistake, as it was selling at that time for 25c. liked it 90 we'll that made it point to ask for it in every store in the different towns that made; but few had it. The next time that called on this customer l bought six boxes. which would last until I got around again. I still continued to ask foritin the different towns and tried to induce the dealers to stock it.
 In 1906 or 1907 went to So. Carolina prised not to be able to get it there. At made frequent trips to Savannah, Ga, and Charleston, S. c. and was unable to get it in either of these cities. Finally I ordered some direct from you and also induced a dealer in Beaufort to stock it. I have used it always for over twenty years except occasionally when I could not get it. I figure that I have smoked over 1000 of the 25c boxes, which have cost for the last few years 35c. For Tt least five years have not bought cigar. Have had some given to me, but they do not take the place of the old pipe filled with Edgeworth.
 I am sixty-one years of age and still think that it is the best tobacco on the market. I don't think there is . man living who has smoked any more Edge worth than I. What do you think?
 Yours truly.

Only during the last year report had been going the rounds, that ii was not Burnett who shot the mar but a friend who was with Burnett Burnett, according to the story, real ized he would stand a better chance of acquittal than his friend, so he grabbed the gun from his hands and when people entered the washroon where the shooting occurred the cap. tain, gun in hand, declared that il was he who fired the shot.

His secretary was left $5,000.
 Captain Burnett was a typical Tex as cowboy and rancher When younger he braved all the dangers of frontier life, shot buffaloes fought Indians, and at the same time kept adding to his fortune. He was born in Bates County, Mo, in 1S49 and his family removed to Texas when he was a boy
 In 1871 Burnett, then hardly past his majority, took 1900 head of cat tie to Abilene, Kan. He had a doz- en men with him. Burnett bought a small" ranch of 30,OO0 acres at Burk Station. He became close friend of Chief Quanah Parker and from him, after negotiations with the government, leased 100000 acres at six and half cents an acre. Later he bought the big -Four Six" ranch.
 In 1914 Burnett added the Dixon Creek ranch of 1O7,OOo acres to his holdings. When he died his ranch property totalled nearly 5OO,00O acres, all stocked with pure bred cattle. He was fortunate in oil as we'll as cattle, some of the biggest Texas wells having been drilled on his property.

FORT WORTH, Tex, July 29. - By provisions of the will of the latt Burk Burnett, picturesque million aire cattleman, Anne Burnett, his twenty-year-old granddaughter, be- comes one of the wealthiest girls il America The will of the pioneer 1 rancher bequeaths to her the bulk of an estate valued at more thar $15,000,000. |" ,s~,s
 Tom L. Burnett, son of the far famed cattleman, was cut off with "paltry" $25,000 per year and this amount, the will provides, shall be forfeited in the event the son con- tests the probation of the document. At no time during his life, the in- strurnsnt provides, shall Tom Bur nett have any voice in the manage 1nent of the vast estate.
 The scorn of his father was brought down on the head of young Burnett, it is said by friends close to the family, because of his unre- strained "wildness." Tom, say con- fidents of the, family, refused to al ways follow the wishes of his fath- CT. He also is rancher and recently was divorced from his wife, former ly Lucille Mulhall, a professional 1 to rf in, deo shows. The younger Burnett's marriage to Miss Mulhall is under stood to have been opposed by his father.
 BURNETT WAS CAPITALIST
 Captain Burnett, who died at the age of seventy-four, was a rancher, banker and capitalist. In the early seventies he was a cowboy without funds and started his herd on bor- rowed money. When he died he own ed three great Texas ranches, in cluding the -Four Six" lie also owned two Fort Worth skyscrapers and stock in many banks and other corporations. During the World War he put $2OO000 in Liberty bonds.
 The elder Burnett married a daughter of a leading Fort Worth banker and later was divorced from her and married again.

PRE-WAR STYLES ARE
 REVIVED IN ENGLAND

LONDON, July 29.-This is a great sartorial summer for London.
 The, war is over and pre-War sum- mer styles are being revived. This doesn't mean that Londoners are casting aside their heavy tweeds and homespuns and donuing fan nels and silks. Indeed not. London dandies signify summer by remoV- ing their fine silk hats and substl- tuting a nice gray top hat that is just as warm as the silk hat, and Ii they choose to go further they take off their heavy "spats' and put on those heavy linen. Maybe this may satisfy the summer color scheme, but to an American it doesn't appear 1 to bring much relief
 Straw hats are few and far be- | tween in London in summer. They are not looked upon with favor by the elite, and are regarded as the headgear of clerks and such. Am bassador George Harvey has ap- parently an txcellent sartorial men, tor, for he has ditched the big Pan anna which he bought with him from America and is wearing one of the most English of English white top hats.
 Summer styles in London do not
