HOW DID YOU DIE
Did you tackle the trouble that came
your way
With a resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of
day
With a craven soul and fearful?
O, a trouble’s a ton, or a trouble’s an
ounce,
Y Or a trouble is what you make it,
it isn’t the fact that you’re hurt
that counts,
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth. Well, well,
what’s that?
Come up with a smiling face.
It’s nothing against you to fall down
flat,
But to lie there—that’s disgrace.
The harder you’re thrown, why the
higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
It isn’t the fact that you’re licked that
counts;
It’s how did you fight—and why?
And though you be done to the
death, what then?
If you battled the best you could,
If you played your part in the world
of men,
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes
with a pounce,
And whether he’s slow or spry,
It isn't the fact that you’re dead that
counts,
But only how did you die?
—Edmund Vance Cooke.

* CHILD GETS CROSS,
SICK AND FEVERISH
WHEN CONSTIPATED
Look Mother if Tongue is
Coated Clean Little Liver
and Bowels
If your little one’s tongue is coat
ed, it is a sure sign the stomach, liver
and bowels need a gentle, thorough
cleansing at once. When your child is
cross, peevish, listless, pale, doesn’t
sleep, eat or act naturally; if breath
is bad, stomach sour, system full of
cold, throat sore, or if feverish, give
a teaspoonful of “California Syrup of
Figs,” and in a few hours all the
clogged-up, constipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food will gently
move oat of the bowels, and you have
a well playful child again.
Sick children neednlt be coaxed to
take this harmless “fruit laxative.”
Millions of mothers keep it handy be
cause they know its action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little giv
en today saves a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a
bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,”
which contains directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of
counterfeits sold here. Get the gen
uine made by “California Fig Syrup
Cos.” advt.
DEATH OF INFANT
Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Jomes of near
Jackson have the sympathy of their
friends in the death of their two
weeks-old infant, which occurred Sun
day afternoon. Interment was at
Towaliga Monday afternoon.
PREPARE FOR THE HOT WAVE
The hot sun is doubly dangerous if
there is a mass of undigested food in
the stomach, causing distress and
auto intoxication, casting congesting
f>oisons throughout the system. Fo
ey Cathartic Tablets give prompt
and sure relief. They act gently but
do their work thoroughly. They
cleanse the bowels, sweeten the
stomach and benefit the liver. Rec
ommended for indigestion, bilious
ness, bad breath, bloating, gas or con
stipation. Carmichael Drug and Book
Company, adv.
