"soME KICKING.

They kick at the Mayor,
And they kick at the Town,
And they kick at the Preacher,
Such kicking abounds,
And they kick at the Printer.
And they kick at the hound,
And if all these were dead,
Where would Charles Town be
found.

SHE CAN NEVER PRAISE STELLA
 VITAE ENOUGH
SI Wish Every Suffering Woman Could Know What It Did for Me-" Says Mrs. Fletcher.

Before my first bottle of Stella Vitae was gone, all my troubles were gone, too," Is the remarkable state ment made hy Mrs. Ellis Fletcher, of Christie, Okla, Box 16, in letter de- scribing her experience with the treatment that is accomplishing such gratifying results In overcoming '.Female Troubles" among the women of Alabama.
 Every month I used to have all kinds of aches and pains in my head end back and legs" continued Mrs. Fletcher. Nobody knows how I suf- fered I would have indigestion so bad that sometimes I was so dizzy headed couldn't stand up and the pains in my stomach were almost more than I could bear. I was badly constipated, too, and so nervous that the least little thing would get me all to pieces.S
 But that's all uver now. Stella Vitae gave me such relief that I am like different woman In every way and I can never say enough in praise of this wonderful treatment. I only wish that every woman who Is suf- fering like I was could know what blessing Stella Vitae has been to me"
 Note-Stella Vitae may be obtained from any druggist and Is sold upon the positive guarantee that the pur- chase price will be refunded If it fails to bring relief.--Adv.

SOCIETY AT WHITE
 SULPHUR SPRINGS

White Sulphur Springs, W. va.. July S.-A large colony spent the Fourth of July at White Sulphur Springs. and for the next two months this famous old southern resort high up in the Alleghenies. will be crowd ed with throng of pleasure seek CTS.
 Because of it's famous baths, and thermal establishment White Sulphur became popular during the war with a large element who had habitually sought tho European cures, and these visitors are returning each year, having found the elevation productive of cool nights. while the days are never too warm for horse back riding over the many beautiful mountain trails. golf, tennis, and an all-round outdoor life in an environ ment of great natural beauty This has been so enhanced by architects. and landscape gardeners during the last few years that visitors may now enjoy the delights of a splendid ly cultivated e3tate of 1000 acres set down in the midst of one of the most beautiful mountain sections of America.
 Southerners are prominent in the large cottage colony surrounding The Greenbrler. and cottages have been taken by Mrs. Hortense Batre, and her daughter, Miss Adele M. Batre of Mobile, and Mir. and Mrs. F. II. Lathrop. and Miss Eva Lathrop of Birmingham.

then stop on the way home and buy box Of ice cream at the drug store.
 When he would not take the trouble tosdress to escort his wife to the theatre he will slip into his coat and go to a movie with her. The movie, like the automobile has brought them closer to each other.
 What is true of the automobile and the movie is also true of the country club, with it's tennis courts and it's golf links. The automobile has made them easy of access and the wife is taken out also, as every preparation for her comfort has been made and an al fresco dinner at the club will get Mir. and Mrs. Wade just wee bit closer together than a half dozen ordinary dinners at home.
 You can go right down the line of modern things. and every place you touch you will see this same tendency The general use of the telephone has put man and his wife where they can get in touch with each other sev- eral times day and when any little chance comes for man to ring his wife in on party he is more liable to do it when he can call her and give her a chance to get into her glad clothes beforehand.
 Even the modern dances have this same tendency. In the old days. be- fore we had canned music machine in every home, we had to go out to some public place to learn to dance, but now we can practice all the lat est steps at home with our wives un- til we have perfected them and then go out to the public places to exhibit our skill.
 This makes a tendency for men to dance more with their own wives than with the wives of other men, because your own wife has had enough ex- perience to know how to avoid your feet.
 50 we find the automobile. the country club, the telephone and the movies all conspiring together to bring men and their wives closer to- gether than they have been in years while the thoughtless people wall

ANDREW AND
 IMOCENE.
By ROE FuLKERsoN

There go the Wades." exclaimed Imogene, as she stood looking out Of the window. They are in the auto mobile from morning until night. There is no such thing as home life in these modern days" she finished, With a sigh.
 'Is that SOP" said Andrew Do you know where Wade spent his time be- fore he bought that machine? I know you do not, but I know and it was not with his wife.
 Before you decide that modern things have destroyed home life let me suggest that you go and interview the proprietors of cafes, the owners of pool and billiard parlors, the women In the burlesque show busi- ness and all enterprises that were dependent particuarly on the patron- age of men.
 "Where Wade once spent his nights playing Kelly pool he now spends them rolling his wife and children around the parks in his car. The au- tomobile has brought men and their wives closer than any other amuse- ment of modern times.'
 What is true of the automobile is equally true of the moving picture Instead of going down town and roll ing ten pins. men will nowadays take the wife and kid or two and step around the corner to movie and
