The big Sisters" Is a compara-
lively new organization. 1t was
started for the purpose of helping
the freshman girls to more easily
adapt themselves to the new condi-
tions they encounter at M. & M. The
members, chosen from the Junior
and Senior classes, are those girls
having the qualities of leadership
and the true M. & M. spirit.
Every year four or five freshman
girls are allotted " each Big Sister
to whom they may go for advice in
any contingency. The faculty ad-
visor is Miss Hutson. The members
are as follows: Seniors: Gwendolyn
Hambleton, Elizabeth Humphrey,
Helen Button. Juniors: Annabel
Smith. Julia Brooks, Irene Lamb,

walls. The new system in no way
affects the duties of the officers of
the various organizations, but it will
practically eliminate confusion and
mistakes. The books are open for
inspection at all times and anyone
can easily inform himself about the
financial affairs of the school. The
faculty is to be congratulated upon
this progressive measure.

Dorothy f.. RitcheY

Dorothy Elizabeth Ritchey, oldest
child of William II. Ritchey and Ma
bel Ritchey, was born at McConnels-
vile, o.. June II, 1914. Her death
came at Columbus. O., on Sunday
evening, Sept. 2, 1928, after an ill
ness of but few hours duration.
One sister, Eloise, together with her
parents, grandparents Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Price of Morgan county, O.,
and numerous other relatives, play
mates and friends survive and are
stricken with grief because of her
going. No matter what time in life
death comes it is severe shock and
doubly so when it comes to those in
youth and childhood. Dorothy has
been transplanted from this life,
bound about by so many limitations,
to the life that is unbOunded and
without limit. To her, in the purity
and innocence of childhood, it is
beautiful transition and we sorrow
not because of her going, but be-
cause of the parting; her presence
has gladdened the hearts of all; her
childish life has bettered us all and
through our tears may we realize
the bounty of God in giving her to
us for this brief time.
The sympathy of friends and rela-
tives and playmates goes out to the
bereaved sister, parents and rela-
tives, and all join in a common bond
of sympathy because of their loss

Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-

any one SO.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..

to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi.
tions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
