Where Age is Looked Up To.
“The parents’ word is always law in
Japan, and perhaps this accounts for
the sweetness and gentleness of the
Japanese character,” writes Onoto
Watanna in the February Ladies
Home Journal.
"The Japanese e<e inherently an
obedient people. The old always tuk?
precedence of the young in all things.
An eager, impetuous young man, be
he ever so brilliant and clever, is not
expected in Japan to have the reason,
the wisdom and foresight of an old
man. Therefore the old man comes
.first always.
As a result, there is, perhaps, more
general happiness in Japan than any
where else in the world. One might
imagine that where duly is carried to
the extent it is in Japan the natural
love is not so much in evidence—l
mean the actual affections, rather
than the mere duty, of a child to its
parents.
On the contrary, the natural bond
of affection between parents and chil
dren is nowhere so wonderful as in
Japan. No matter how unkind, un
just or Jeven wicked the parent may
be, or how depraved, the child inva
riably clings to that parent, even
though, as is often the case, its own
nature be finer.”
Methodist Church.
Preaching at the First Methodist
church this morning at 11 o’clock and
at 7: 30 o’clock p. m. by the pastor.

“Mary’s Choice.” Sacrament of the
Loid’ts Supper at the close of the ser
mon. Subject of the evening service,
“Sin inflicts its own punishment.”
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FORNIA Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
positor strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
stage oi kidney' trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Boot, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its.
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Gt- rgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. fcr a
sample bottle ana book telling all about it,
both sent absolutely free by mail. 1
