Eat What You Please.
If there is one class of people in the
world who deserve sympathy it is
those who suffer with dyspepsia and
indigestion. I know. I’ve been right
along there myself. Up until four
years ago, I was one of them.
I want every reader of this paper
who suffers with dyspepsia or indi
gestion to either believe what I say
or give me a fair chance to prove it.
I say, and I know it to be true, that
Vita Spring water will cure or greatly
benefit any case of dyspepsia and in
digestion. I want you to try it at my
risk.
Here is my offer: You deposit $2.00
with me for two five-gallon demijohns.
I will send you ten (10) gallons of
Vita Water fresh from the spring.
You drink it, then return the demi
johns to me. Write me honestly
what the water did for you. I’ll take
your word for it. If the water wins
out, I keep the $2.00 If it fails, I re
turn your money without question.
Here’s the kind of letters I’m
receiving:—Mr. W. P. Caughman,
Springfield, S. C., writes: “I beg
to say that I have derived untold
benefits from the use of the water. I
feel ten years younger. I found same
largely helpful in my digestion, mini
mizing the hateful gaseousness of my
stomach and relieving rheumatic pains
of long standing.”
If you will accept my offer, I believe
I will soon have a similar letter from
you.—N. F Shivar, Proprietor, Vita
Spring, Shelton, S. C.

and thoughtfulness for others which
used to characterize the girls—at
least those of the South in the days of
the old regime. A lady entertained a
party of college girls at luncheon on
the day of an athletic contest which
they were to attend with young men
students as escorts.
The girls were visitors in the city
and the hostess had opened her home
in an effort to afford them a pleasant
day. Just ns the party was leaving
the piazza, several boxes of flowers
arrived for the girls. They tore open
the boxes, pinned the flowers on their
coats, threw the discarded stems and
boxes on the piazza floor and left the
sheets of tissue paper to be blown
about the well-kept lawn. It would
have taken but ascended to place the
boxes inside the open door and a word
of apology would have explained ev
everything satisfactorily. But when the
hostess saw the paper blowing over
her lawn and the untidy piazza, she
resolved to eliminate any more such
impertinence by not entertaining col
lege girls. Those girls were mem
bers of good families and they belong
ed to the exclusive circle of the col
lege which they attended. When the
hostess gently mentioned the matter
to a friend of one of them, the
friend exclaimed: “My goodness! you
can’t expect girls to think of such
things when they are out for a good
time!” That is the attitude of many
young folks. They ride roughshod
over every social obligation when
they are out for a good time. The un
fortunate part of it is, that such girls
as these are so conspicuous for their
ill manners that the well-mannered,
thoughtful girls and the polite young
men, for there are some even in this
age of thoughtfulness, are entirely
overlooked.
THE SHADOW OF THE PRISON.
True Story of a Man’s Sacrifice.
By Henry Phillips.
I know a man who is serving a five
years’ sentence in Sing Sing prison.
He is a young man and was a clerk
in a wholesale store. Like many an
other young man, he became fasci
nated with that worst of all gambling
institutions, the race track. He lost
and become involved in debt. One
day, when he was in despair, he met
at a track a man, who wormed him
self into his confidence. This man
lived in apparent respectability, but
was in fact a receiver of stolen goods.
To make an old story short, the
clerk was tempted to steal. Ninety
per. cent of the proceeds of his thefts
went into the pockets of the receiver.
That is always the case. Also, it is
always the case that a thief is de
tected. It is only a question of time.
It happened so in this instance. What
rarely occurs, the receiver was ar
rested, too. In the suddenness with
which the disgrace came upon him,
the clerk told his name. The employ
ers were more anxious to convict the
receiver than they were to convict
their employe, and they offered to see
that sentence should be suspended in
his case if he would furnish the
necessary testimony under oath. He
said he would. The district attorney
consented. The two men were con
fined in the Tombs pending trial.
On the day after the'r arrest they
met during the morning exercise hour
at the prison, and the clerk found
that the man who had tempted him
had a wife and a family of six small
children dependent upon him, who
■were in entire ignorance of his real
occupation and who would be left
absolutely destitute if he was impr’s
oned. The man begged him to save
him and them. He had not only
tempted the clerk, he had not lived
up to a single agreement with him,
he had taken shameful advantage of
him, he had refused him the loan of a

dollar when it was needed for food.
The clerk’s feeling toward him was
one of intense bitterness, but the
thought of the wife and children
touched him. He said he would think
it over. The following day he asked
a friend who visited him to investi
gate, and the story his tempter had
told him was found to be true.
“They are as nice a family as you
want to see,” the friend reported,
“and they are in terrible distress over
his arrest. He’s always been good to
them, and they have perfect faith in
him.”
“Go back and tell them,” said the
clerk, “not to worry. Nothing will
happen to him.”
“What do you mean to do?” asked
his friend, in surprise.
“I am going to deny knowing him
at all. I am going to take this whole
thing upon myself.”
“But they will let you go and
your firm will take you back if you
testify against him,” protested his
friend, “while if you do as you say,
you will certainly get five years.”
“Very well. Perhaps this will
teach him a lesson. It has taught me.
I have no one dependent upon me —
no family—he has. I am willing to
take the five years to save them.”
And he did. For a man he, with
every reason hated; for a woman and
children he had never seen and who
would never know, without any pos
sibility of the recognition or reward
in fame, or otherwise, which usually
follows a sacrifice, he put on the con
vict’s garb and became a number.
GOOD THAT NAPOLEON DID.
“In 1795 France received a new
constitution, with a directorate of
five persons at the head of the gov
ernment; but the royalists rose
against them, and the insurerction
was quelled by a young Corsican
named Napoleon Bonaparte.”
Though Napoleon was of boundless
ambition for himself, he accomplished
some good. “In many ways he seems
to have had the good of France at
heart. Banditti were exterminated,
the churches were opened for wor
ship, the Sabbath restored, and im
prisoned priests set free. He estab
lished a uniform system of weights
and measures, now known as the
metric system, and founded the Na
poleonic Code by simplifying and im
proving the various laws of the land.
He repaired roads and built new ones;
he built bridges across the Seine, the
Arch of Triumph, and the Church
of the Madeleine; he reorganized the
educational system and established
the University of France.”
Napoleon’s Evils.
Napoleon Bonaparte’s was a very
despotic reign. The censorship of the
press was very severe. No news
could be published until it had first
appeared in the Moniteur, a journal
wholly under his control. Many of
the best writers fled from the coun
try to escape his vengeance, and the
prisons were filled with people whom
he had arbitrarily arrested. He had
done much for France; but his ambi
tion had overleaped itself, and he
sacrificed France to his own interests
until after the disastrous retreat from

Where Doctors Agree.
There are two things at least on
which all doctors agree.
The first is that an excess of uric
acid in the system, due to faulty ac
tion of either the stomach, liver or
kidneys, sooner or later will cause
one or more of the following diseases:
Rheumatism, sciatica, gout, gall
stones, urinary calculi, cystitis, dia
betes, Bright’s disease and catarrh of
the stomach.
The other point on which they
agree is that Harris Lithia Water is
the most perfect solvent for uric acid
that has yet been discovered. It dis
solves the poison and eliminates it
from the body through the kidneys
and the skin. Harris Lithia Water is
so perfect in its solvent power that
when used systematically, it will even
dissolve the chalky deposits in the
muscles and around the joints in
rheumatism and gout, also gall-stones
and urinary calculi.
The Harris Lithia Springs Company
has on file hundreds of enthusiastic
commendatory letters from physicians
all over the country. The following is
a sample:
Palatka, Fla.
Harris Lithia Spring Co., Harris Springs,
S. C.:
For several years I have prescribed
Harris Lithia Water with the most pleas
ing results. I have used it in acute cases
of Sciatica, Gall Stones in the gall blad
der, Calculi in the Kidney, which it re
lieves as no other remedy does. In fact,
I can not recommend Harris Lithia Water
too highly, not only in these cases, but
in all cases where there is any derange
ment of digestion.
Yours truly,
