While it is universally recogui/ed that the Taffet* Paditoat alone
renders possible the perfect fit and hang *f a dress skirt, yet it has
heretofore l>eeu an expensive and m *st uii!-atis*a< tory luxury, because
the fabrics would crack and split without any apparent reason. We
offer you today a garment that that pure silk swish wbi h
emanates only from the highest q lality of Tatteta. They have the
h3auliful mould like curve over the hij>e, eliminating that “pulling up
tallness” in front when the str'ngs are drawn around the waist.
£l|Attached to the waist band of every one of these Petticoats
is a positive guarantee against cracking or splitting. Look for

Sumter Lodge to Celebrate 88th Anniversary on Fri

Sumter Lodge, No. 264, I. O. O. F., 1
is arranging tor the celebration of the
eighty-eight anniversary of the order,
ou Friday, April 26tli. It is proposed
to have a basket picnic of this lodge
and of Rebekahs in the hall of the or

After an interesting program of vocal
and instrumental music, recitations
and speeches, the baskets will Vie spread
and a fine lunch served.
The occasion will undoubtedly be a
most enjoyable one and will be largely
attended by the members of both
lodges and their friends.
At its meeting on Friday night of

MUST BE A LADY’S DAY
When the Fair Ones Can Practice on Wheels With
No Men Near By.
The ladies want a “ladies day” at
the skating rink. .
The demand is emphatic and there is
no doubt that due heed will be given
to it and an afternoon set aside when
the male sex will be rigorously exclud

The average lady, no matter how
sweet she may be, is none too graceful
when she first goes on wheels. She’s
as awkward as a young ostrich at such
a time, aud she knows it.

RIGHT BREATHING CURES CATARRH.
Simple Way to Kill Catarrhal Germs
in Nose, Throat and Lungs.
1 If you cut your finger, you don’t at
tempt to heal it by swallowing a pill
. or a dose of medicine,
t It is just as foolish to try and cure
catarrh of the nose and throat with
pills and stomach dosing, for catarrh
t is a local disease, and needs special
local healing treatment.
The only natural aud common sense
methed known for the cure of catarrh
■ al troubles is Hy-o-mei. It is breathed
through an ingenious pocket inhaler,
so that its medicated air reaches the
most renfvite air-cells of the nose,throat
and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs,
soothing the irritated mucous mem
branes, and restoring a healthy eondi
l tion.
1 If you suffer from catarrhal troubles,
1 such as offensive breath, raising of mu
cous, frequent sneezing, husky voice,
discharge from the nose, droppings in
the throat, loss of strength, spasmodic
I coughing, or a feeling of tightness
across the upper part of the chest, you
should begin to use Hy-o-mei at once.
It will destroy all disease germs in the
nose, throat and lungs,and provide the
blood with additonal ozone.
The complete Hy-o-mei outfit with
iubaler costs but SI.OO. So strong is
, Dodson’s Drug Store faith in the power
of Hy-o-mei to cure all catarrhal
troubles, that with every dollar outfit,
he gives an iron clad guarantee tore
fund the money unless the remedy
gives satisfaction.
Pneumonia’s Deadly Work
had so seriously affected my right
lung,” writes Mrs. Fannie Connor, of
.Rural Route 1. Georgetown, Tenn.,
“that I coughed continously night and
day and the neighbors' prediction—con
sumption—seemed inevitable, until my
husband brought home a bottle of Dr.
King’s New Discovery, which in my
case proved to be theonlyßEAL cough
eurer and restorer of weak, sore lungs.’’
When all other remedies utterly fail,
you may still win the battle against
lung and throat troubles with New
Discovery, the REAL cure. Guaran

Sumter Will Probably Be Well Rep
resented on 17th Inst.
Tti all probability the Americus
Light Infantry will attend the Chau

at Eufaula, Ala., on May 25.
At the meeting iof the company for

before it the question of attending the
Albany event and taking part in the
drill there.
All of the men who can go will be
requested to turn in their names in or

for transportation.
Much interest is generally shown
here in this great military event of

that Sumter will be represented by a

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
1 he kidneys are your
bl«od purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If tney aresiok or out

their work.
Pains, achesand rheu
matism come from ex-
si
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that or.iy urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
constitutional diseases have their beeiri
