Leaves stomach in condition to digest ANYTHING. J. H. Turner, druggist. Ever notice that a lot of the fellows who were whooping ’em up for Rufe Hutchens two years ago are now tear ing their shirts for Hardwick? Also a lot of men who bolted the primary and voted for Hutchens as an indepen dent, are now back in the party yell ing for the junior senator. Funny, isn’t it? > Every man for his country, and ev ery man for himself, is the motto our farmers should adopt.

J.M. CURRIE HEADS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Mr. J. M. Currie, of Jackson, was elected chairman of the Butts County Democratic Executive Cmmittee at a meeting held during the noon recess of superior count Wednesday. Mr. Currie’s election was unanimous, showing the esteem of the members. Mr. H. L. Daughtry was elected but refused to serve. These were the only two names placed in nomination. J. D. Jones was elected secretary for the ensuing two years. The matter of fixing the rules and assessing candidates will be determin ed later. It is likely that all county officers will run in the state primary, which will probably be held some time in August. The next meeting of the committee will be subject to the call of the chairman.

ITS YOUR STEP THAT ATTRACTS Says Women Pay Too Much Heed to Their Face Instead of Their Corns Watch your step! A brisk, lively step is what charms more than a lovely skin, but your high heels have caused corns and you limp a little. That’s bad, girls, and you know it. Corns destroy beauty and giaee, be sides corns are very easy to remove. Rid your feet of every corn by ask ing at any drug store for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost little but ia sufficient to remove every hard or soft com or callua from one’s feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, touchy com relieves the soreness and soon the entire com, root and all, lifts right out without pain. This freezone is a gummy sub stance which dries instantly and sim ply shrivels up the com without in flaming or even irritating the sur rounding skin. Women must keep in mind that comless feet create a youthful step which enhances her attractiveness, advt . . The only way to reach the great mass of people is through the country press.

IN “PRUNE STREET PRISON” Some Well-Known Men Were Confined In Philadelphia Jail When Impris onment for Debt Prevailed. The terms “Prune street prison” may be more readily understood by a read er if he shall simply bear In mind that Prune street was once the name of what Is now Locust street from Fourth to Sixth, the change having been made about, probably, forty years ago, says the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. As to the prison, It existed on the north side of Prune street and ended below Sixth and was In the nature of an extension of the Walnut street pris on at the southeast corner of Sixth and Walnut streets. At a time when im prisonment for debt Was a punishment under the law of Pennsylvania, the Prune street prison was used chiefly for that purpose. In the latter part of the eighteenth century and the ear ly part of the nineteenth, it sometimes contained many well known as well ns humble men who were unable to meet the demands of their creditors. Rob ert Morris was one of the prisoners for several years. During the prolong ed period of his dispensation In trying to stave off the swarms of importunate men to whom he owed money, he would sometimes speak or write of “Prune street” as If the Jail loomed up before him like a thing of dread. While Mor ris was there, William B. Wood, the eminent actor, whose long life was af terward aasociated with the first and the second Chestnut street theater, was one of his companions In misery.

Thank God, the people of this country are thoroughly aroused over the perils of indiscriminate immigra tion. When this war is over the gut ter-snipes of all the world must be kept out of America.
