PAGE SIX Suffered Twenty-One Years-- Finally found Relief Having suffered for twenty-one years with a pain in my side, I finally have found relief in Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root. The physicians called it "Moth ers' Pain," and injections of morphine were m> ->nly relief for short periods of time. I became so sick that I had to undergo a surgical operation in New Orleans, which benefitted me for two years. 'When the same pain came back one day. I was so sick that 1 gave up hopes of living. A friend ad cised me to try Swamp-Root and 1 ar once commenced using it. The first bottle did me so much good that I pur chased two more bottles. I am now on my second bottle and am feeling like a new woman. I passed a grave! stone as large as a big red bean and several small ones. I have not had the least feeling of pain since taking your Swamp-Root and I feel it my duty to recommend this great medicine to all suffering humanity. Gratefully yours MRS. JOSEPH CONSTANCE, Avoyelles Par. Marksville, La. Personally appeared before me, this 15th day of July, 1911, Mrs. Joseph Constance, who subscribed the above statement and made oath that the sa,..e is true in substance and in fact. WM.

Would you consider that this newspaper was well managed if it issued according to the mood of its publish ers instead of at regular, stated and invariable intervals ? Would you think it a good newspaper if it printed at welve-page issue at one time and a one-page hand-bill nat aother time ? Would you feel that it was serving its constituency effectually if, now and then, it suspended issue entirely to resume at some time when the publisher felt inclined ? Your store serves your patrons with store news through its advertising. They assume that there is always store news. worth telling—store news that is important to them. Is it not poor policy tor a store, as it would be for a newspaper, to serve its patrons in a spasmodic, undepend able way ? If your store is important to the people of the city, your advertising is important to them all the ime—not merely now and then. The size of vour advertising should not vary any more than the size of a newspaper varies, and the appear ance of your advertisement should be as frequent and regular as the appearance of this newspaper. The people of Americus read THE TIMES RECORDER; II you have any STORE NEWS, and wish to tell them of it, place an advertisement in these columns. . ANDERSONVILLL (Special to Times-Recorder.)

If anyone requires a clear head, it is a teacher of mathematics. He must reason in the abstract as it were and ' full concentration of ind is necessary if correct results are to be forthcom ing. An Ohio man w'rites: “I am a teacher of mathematics and for 15 years prior to four years ago, l either took a lunch composed of cold ; sandwiches, pickles, etc., to school or hurried home and quickly ate a hot , dinner. * “The result was that I went to my afternoon work feeling heavy, dull cf I brain and generally out of sorts. Final ly I learned about Grape-Nuts food and began to use it for my noon-day lunch. “From the first I experienced a great L change for the better. The heavy, un pleasant feeling and sour stonlach caused by the former diet disappeared. The drowsy languor and disinclination ; to work soon gave way to a bright • ness and vim in my afternoon w'ork, a feeling entirely new to me. ! “My brain responds promptly to the requirements put upon it and what .’3 of more importance, the results have been lasting and more satisfactory, the . longer I have used Grape-Nuts as a food. “My wife had been suffering from weak stomach accompanied by sick headaches nearly all her life. She is invariably relieved of these when she sticks to Grape-Nuts, either eaten dry or with milk. Her stomach has grad ually grown stronger and her head aches less frequent since she began tu 1 eat Graps-Nuts.” “There’s a Reason. Name given by Postum Co, Battle | Creek, Mich.

Mar tial rule in the coal strike regions o' West Virginia was described before the senate mine investigating committee * yesterday and after three military offi cials had told of conditions the com mittee expressed itself satisfied as to the charge that the citizens of We.,t Virginia had been tried and convicted in violation of the constitution anil laws of the United States. i Two members of the military com mission which at three different times assumed absolute dominion over some I 150 square miles of V r est Virginia ter- 1 ritory, testified. They were Capt. C. j R. Morgan, a lawyer, and Maj. James j I. Pratt, who was president of the sec ond military court which took charge of the strike district. Both told the committee that their proceedings were conducted without regard to the civil « laws of the state; that they arrested, < arraigned, tried and convicted offend- < ers in the strike zone without recourse 1 to process of the civil courts and im- j posed sentences without regard to the J limitations imposed by the statutes of j West Virginia. j “We considered the entire strike dis- ] trict was in a state of actual warfare,” | said Capt. Morgan, “and we acted ac cording to the procedure of the Unit- J ed States army in time of war.” “My understanding,” said Capt. Mor- , gan, “was that during this state of insurrection which prevailed, the con stitution of the state of West Virginia had been suspended by the acts of j these men who were burning, killing, and destroying property. We believed j these men had suspended the constU| tution and that in order to perpetuate ( the state of West Virginia and restore the constitution we were justified inj using extreme measures.” Capt. Morgan declared that the mil-! itia commission believed its authority 1 was unlimited under the general order issued by Gov. Glasscock which pro vided the military commission “is sud stituted for the criminal courts of the district covered by the martial la .v proclamation and all offenses against the civil laws, as they existed prior to the proclamation of November 15, 1912, shall be regarded as offenses under the military law, and in punisment thereof the military commission can impose such sentences either lighter or heavier than those imposed under the civil law, as in their judgment the offender may merit.” Both Capt. Morgan and Maj. Pratt asserted that the commission did not' feel itself limited by the statutory revisions fixing punishment for of fenses and Maj. Pratt gave several in stances of sentences imposed by the commission exceeding the statutory punishment. A dozen pictures of men, clad in prison clothing and with heads shaved, were identified by Maj. Pratt as men who had been sentenced by the commission. One was given a sentence of seven and a half years for perjury, several others Were given three, four and five year sentences for “interfering with officers.” Senator Borah elicited that Capt. Morgan, as a lawyer, believed there was no appeal from the decision of the commission if approved by the gov ernor, except to the supreme court ot the United States. Senator Martine ascertained that af ter the commission had heard the tes timony in cases it went into secret ses sion, executed sealed findings after the manner of a verdict and sent them to the governor. “Then the poor devil did not know what you had done with him until he was gobbled up and carried away t-j the penitentiary?” suggested the New Jersey senator. “That’s right,” answered Capt. Mor gan, and the spectators smiled. Adjt. 11 Gen. Chas. D. Elliott had occupied the morning session and part of the af ternoon. Last night Senator Borah took up witnesses produced by the mine workers to testify as to charges that peonage obtains in the Paint creek and Cabin creek sections. The inquiry will continue for several days with the work divided among members : of the committee. Do I enjoy riding? Os course, I ride an EXCELSIOR With the Excelsior you have perfect con trol.
