EVERYBODY WORKED BUT
FATHER
“Father’s stomach trouble seemed
to be getting worse all the time and
finally he had to quit work alto
gether. Two brothers and myself
gave up school and went to work to
support the family. Father had lost
sixty pounds in weight and was yel
low as saffron and no medicine
helped him. Telling a friend about
it six months ago, she advised tak
ing Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy. I
got a bottle and it helped father at
once. He was able to go back to
work a month later, has regained his
weight and strength and eats like
a wood chopper.” It is a simple,
harmless preparation that removes
the catarrhal mucus from the intes
tinal tract and allays the inflamma
tion which causes practically all
stomach, liver and intestinal ail
ments, including appendicitis. One
dose will convince or money refund

Old Man, Crippled and Unable
to Work, Now Destitute With
Sick Wife to Look After
There *has been located near
Americus in Sumter county a very ■
needy .ease of charity, for which :
the Times-Recorder has been asked j
to appeal to the generosity of resi- 1
dnts here. The case in question
is that of an aged and needy Con
fedrato veterans, crippled and hav
ing already lived more than the |
allotted “threp score years and
ten” and whose wife has been very I
sick during the past six weeks. Re
cently, according to information
given- the Times-Recorder, the
wife has partially lost her mind,
adding to the critical condition in
which the aged couple find them-,
selves.
Unaccustomed to receiving chari-1
ty, the old man is either too proud -
to beg or doesn’t know how to |
bring his case to the attention of
charitable agencies, and continues
men and men contestants.
Plans are also being worked out
for a meet between a picked team
of four from the Southeastern As
sociation and one from the Central
Association to be held over a
440-yard course. Officials of the
Southeastern organization ' are
■ sponsoring elimination contests in
j several cities comprising the as
sociation's jurisdiction with a view
I to selecting four men for its team.
' Running of this race, according to
officials, depends on whether a
Southeastern team can be gotten i
together in time. The four swim
mers representing the western or
ganziation will be on hand to take
part as individuals in the meet if
the team race cannot be arranged.
fivic bodies and the Pensacola
Athletic club have perfected ar
rangements for the entertainment
of the contestants. The con
tests will be held in Bayview
Park speedway, especially con
structed for the event. ,

country cabin. The matter was
brought to the attention of the
Times-Recorder by a resident of
the community where the couple
now live, and has been referred to
the Associated Charities for at
tention. This appeal is issued in
i the name of that organization and

I member of the Daughters of the
I Confederacy, if\Mrs. Sherlock or

FEEDING WHEAT AND RYE
TO HOGS IN MICHIGAN
NEW YORK, Aug. 31—Farmers
in Southern Michigan are feeding
i their wheat to their hogs because
I the price of the grain is too low
, to justify their selling it and buy
j ing corn for feed, according to a
dispatch to the New York Tribune
(Rep.).
‘‘Almost no rye will be market
ed,’' continues tho dispatch. "This
grain, at the present price of 40
ce-nts a bushel, is the cheapest feed
tn be found for hogs and nearly
the entire crop will be disposed of
in this manner.
The hogs which are eating these
staple grains are not likely to
bring a price that will repay the
farmer for their feed when they
shall 'have been sent to market.
But the consumer will continue to
pay a big price for fresh and cured
’ pork, it is forecast.
WE WILL BUY
your old school books.
Only those in good condi
tion wanted. Ask for list.

From Athens comes the reply of
the Greek government seeking to
