Grateful for Health Restored
by Lydia E Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound
Chicago, Ill.—“I am willing to write
to any girl or woman who is suffering
from the troubles I
had before I took
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound. My back al
ways ached, so I
could not go about
my housework, and I
had other troubles
from weakness. I
was this way for
years, thenmy sister-
in-law took the Veg
etable Compound
and recommended it to me. In the time I
“have been taking it and it has done won
ders for me. 1 keep house and am able to
do lots of work besides.”—Mrs. Helen
Sevcik, 2711 Thomas St., Chicago, Ill.
Women suffering from female trou
bles causing backache, irregularities,
pains, bearing-down feelings and weak
ness should take Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound. Not only is the
worth of this splendid medicine shown
by such cases as this, but for nearly fifty
years this same sort of experience has
been reported by thousands of women.
Mrs. Sevcik is willing to write to any
girl or woman suffering from such
troubles, and answer any questions they
may like to ask.

pects us to do big tilings for Him. If
we fail God will not get them done.
Some one else cannot, discharge anoth

A Christian shojild have too much
love for Christ to be willing for His de
sires not to be carried out. We should
regard it as a shame for another to
tiave to assume tiff task which God
wants us to perform. How fearful for
God to reject us in our failures. We
know the tree by the fruit it bears.
There are more than 2,000 people in
Carrollton who do not attend church.
RED CLAY
We had a nice rain Sunday. It came
just right to help the crops. Most of
the farmers are nearly done work.
It is reported that there was a strong
wind near by Saturday, which damaged
houses and other property.
Mr. J. T. Reynolds made a business
trip to Carrollton Saturday.
The bean beetle is rapping on beans
and other crops here.
There was a nice crowd out at Sun
day School Sunday despite the rainy
weather.
There is a worm in this section that
bores into a stalk of com near the
ground and then eats upward and leaves
the corn hollow, and while in there lays
an egg which makes another worm.
This kills every stalk of coriT they bore.
It is a new thing in this section. Some
one give us a remedy.

Addressing a mass meeting of citizens
of Phoenix and Girard on respect for
observance of luw, Hon. Thomas D.
Romford, of Montgomery. United States
district attorney for the Mobile district
of Alabama, presented somo truths that
are well wirth the serious consideration
of every self-respecting Alabamian, says
Tlie Age-Herald.
The speaker expressed the view that
there should be a law and order league
in every city and town in the country,
more for the purpose of inculcating re
spect for obedience to lnw than for law
enforcement.
This suggests that just so fr- ts peo
ple realize the. aims and intonts of the
law and appreciate its vnlue in the pro
tection of life and property will there
be less need for lnw enforcement ma
chinery with its attendant burdens in
cost and otherwise.
Here is a paragraph from Colonel
Romford’s ndddress which calls for
thought bv organizations and individ
uals concerned for better civic condi
tions and higher governmental plans:
If I should bo nHkod today what
is the greatest- menace to this govern-
ent 1 would not answer tho armies of
F.uropo nor tho iron navies of any na
tion. I would not answer tho princi
ples of bolshevism, which are being
propagated insidnonslv in every quarter
of the globe. T would not answer the
Isle of Yap. From which but recently j
arose a threatening cloud in the Pacific.
T would not sav the persistent disturb
ances in the Near East. I would an
swer a universal di regard of constitu
ted authority and disobedience of law.”
Humiliating, though it be to have to
subscribe to such a view, it must lie
admitted as the truth, Such a condi
tion strikes at the foundation of civili
zation and progress.
Where there is tittle respect for con
stituted authority and the law, there is
scant hope of prospect for advance
ment in worthwhile achievement.
It matters not whether a law be
convenient, ncceptable or in conformity
with individual views or interests.
Every lnw, however wise or construc
tive, meets with tho disapproval of
some groups, factions or individuals.
Tho point is the danger of contagion
in lawlessness arising from defiance
or non-observance of any particular law.
Violation or evasion of one law breeds
lawlessness.
The condition becomes oppressive un
til an intolerable situation develops, and
sooner or later violence, riot and Tuiij
prevail.—Alabama Times.
Included in a sheaf of publicity ma
terial broadcast by the Republican Na
tional Committee appears an item that
confirms what Democrats have been
saying about the depreciation of the
farmer’s dollar as a consequence of
high prices and profiteering. The Re
publican tnric has given the profiteers
publican tariff has given the profiteers
nity.
‘ Increased cost of agricultural pro
duction, on account of higher wages
ml higher cost of material, now con
fronts the American fanners, accord-
ig to reports received by the U. R. De
partment of Agriculture,” says this
Republican publicity. “The effect of
this will be cither higher prices for
farm products or curtailment of quan
tity of farm production or both.
“The purchasing power of the farni-
r’s dollar is about stationary, com
pared with previous months. At pros-
■nt tho index of the purchasing power
of farm products is 70.”
There is an appreciable increase in
mil wages but the eliief cause of the
growing, cost of producing crops is the
tariff, which lias added $301,000,000 to
tlie cost of the American farmer’s liv
ing over and above any benefit he de
es from Republican “protection.”

Dear Free Dress:
We should always be thankful to our
God for llis dealings with us, for they
are ever according t.o nis will, and for
the good of all who obey Him. This
time, as ever, 11c has been gracious to
us and sent us a glorious rain, which
will revive vegetation and renew the
water supply for all to use and should
make us very grateful to Him and enuse
us to love and obey Him.
Crops, considering the back-sets,
which have linen rattier more than com
mon this year, are coming out consider
ably and nil, ns a rule, who have tried
have them clean and in good condi
tion. It might tie possible, of condi
tions remain favorable to the end of tho
growing season, for people to realize a
half crop. Rut not much has been cul
tivated and that is late and full of
weevils. But God knows what, is best
for us, and Tic lias over known, and
Mis will will be done.
Quite a number of our old students
end friends came down to tho good
eld spring on the old homo on tho river
and enjoyed the t41i in a nice, pleasnnt
way. We did not. hoar a gun nor tho
bark of a dog 1 among tliom, for which
and for many other favors, we are truly
gintoful to them. Messrs. Kniso.v Ear
nest, Jess Cook, Fred Fielder, Mr. nnd

nnd that would insure good, nice bolin?

ALL IS VANITY
I look upon Enrth’s swift seasons of
time,
As onward they roll in grnndcur sub
lime ;
But nil of this grandeur will vauish
away,
And all is vanity, oh the wise man did
say.
T look upon Pride and Opulence wed,
And Poverty as it toils for its bread;
But each in Death’s hall their places
shall take,
And equnl beyond the grave will awake.
I look upon those who arc greedy for
gold,
Their souls they hnve stained nnd vir
tue have sold;
They reach for tho baubles that only
will break,
No riches away from this world they
can take.
'Tis vanity, all this grandeur and pride,
And striving for things that, will not
abide;
They vanish away and never can stay.
And naked the soul at end of the way.
'Tis vanity, yen, the spirit doth say,
This decking of Life witli raiment so
gay;
While naked the soul nnd wretched and
poor,
When enter it must Death’s wide open
door.
Kidneys cause Backache? Not
They have no nerves, therefore can
not cause pain. Listen I Your back
ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica
or a strain, and the quickest relief is
soothing, penetrating ‘ St. Jacobs Oil.”
Rub it right on your painful back,
and instantly the soreness, stiffness
and lameness disappears. Don’t stay
crippled! Get a small trial bottle of
M St Jacobs Oil" from your druggist
and limber up. A moment after It is
applied you’ll wonder what became of
the backache or lumbago pain.
Rub old, honest "St. Jacobs Oil”
whenever you have sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism or sprains, as it is abso
lutely harmless and doesn’t burn the

you do not have to wait for relief fror.i

Mcntho-Sulphur and improvement
shows next day.
Because of its germ destroying prop
erties, nothing has ever been found to
take the place of this sulphur prepara
tion. The moment you apply it hal
ing begins. Only those who have had
unsightly skin troubles can know the
delight this Mentho-Sulphur brings.
Even fiery, itching eczema is dried right
up.
Get a small jar of Rowtes Mcntho-
Sulphur from any good druggist and
use it like cold cream.
