R. W. R. BROWN
The drop curtain of time has again
v been lowered in our community and
> great life has passed from the
stage of action going on to his re¬
ward. I write this tribute to the
memory of my friend, Mr. W. R.
Brown, not that it will affect his
eternal destiny but because having
ueen the beneficiary of his helping
hand I would be an ingrate to re¬
gain silent and let the world go on
m ignorance as to his many virtues.
I have known Mr. Brown for more
than fifty years and during that
long period I never knew him to
withhold a helping hand from anyone
who tyas worthy of his aid or assis¬
tance. Nor have I ever known him to
take advantage of any mans misfoi
tune to benefit himself.
I know there are those wno criti

his having lived in it. He has made
it possible for quite a few who with¬
out his assistance would have failed
and it was always just 8</, without
commission, and after forty years
of lending thousands and thousands
of dollars he never foreclosed on
a single man or woman who borrowed
of him. There has been many
a one preached to heaven who
did not do half as well. There
were a few tears shed when he died
and those tears moisten the eyes of I
those who loved him for his kindness
to them and not tears of regret that
he died indebted to them.
He “visited widows and orphans
and did not forget to keep himself
unspotted from the world.” His visi¬
tations always left them richer in¬
stead of poorer for his having gone.
I can understand why Saul of Tar¬
sus had such a terrible experience on
his memorable .trip to Damascus—
but why so many modern apostles
were allowed since his, day to go on

moves in a mysterious way His won

Mr. Brown’s crowning virtues were
his fine sense of honor and his be¬

say that W. R. Brown ever took
aught from him unjustly or over
failed to pay a just debt promptly.

He was very modest in his demeanor.
He never felt that God wanted to
draft him for some political office
but was content to move and have
his being in the humbler walks of life.
His life was constructive rather than
destructive. He helped rather than
hindered and those who found fault
with his supposed lack of charity be¬
long to that great army who would
be charitable if they were able but
who were never able.
I can not indulge in a more help¬

WHY THAT LAME BACK
That morning lameness—those sharp
pains when bending or lifting, make
work a burden and rest impossible.
Don’t be handicapped by a bad back
look to your kidneys. You will make
no mistake by following this Ameri
cus resident’s example.
Mrs. J. P. Braswell, 901 Elmo St.,
Americus, Ga., says: “The first symp¬
tom of kidney trouble in my case was
lame back several years ago. When
I ran the sewing machine, severe
pains shot up from the small of my
back and I could nardly keep working.
I tired easily and everything seemed

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble
because we often cat too much rich food.
Our blood is filled with acids which the
kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish, result the
eliminative tissues clog and the
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or if you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
J.a'd Saits. Take a tablespoonful in a ,
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine. 1
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com

years to help flush and stimulate clogged |
