; Yon Can't Eat Meat 100 Miles Away Preparing meat is only a part of Swift & Company’s usefulness. The finest meat in the world wouldn’t do you any good one hundred miles away from your table. Swift & Company efficiency has made it possible to place complete lines of products in the smallest and most remote communities. To be sure the work is done well Swift & Company, through its branch houses and car routes, brings the meat to the retail dealer for you. Swift & Company lays out car routes covering towns—big, little, medium size —which are not served by a Swift branch house. \ Salesmen find out in advance what is wanted by the dealers in every town. They are followed by refrigerator cars loaded with retailers’ orders, which are delivered at each town —fresh, clean, and sweet —once or twice each week. Swift & Company operates a large number of car routes like this, from four teen distributing plants. This is a necessary and natural part of the packers’ usefulness. It fits into the industry in an orderly, effective way. It makes better meat cheaper from one end of the land to the other. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

Mr. William Gardner was born May 26, 1832, in o’d Henry county. He was a youijlg man when the war between the States began, but he was old enough to go, and fought in some o the worst bat tles. He was wounded several times and knew what it meant to be a soldier. Just after the war he married Miss Martha Fo'd, who was six years younger. They began life together when t ines were hard and things to eat were not so plentiful. It was not any trouble to get them to observe vvheatless, meatless and sugarless days. To this couple were born eight children, four bo\s and four girls. All are living except Mrs. Henri etta Gardner Martin, who has been gone to heaven about four teen months. 1 believe this is one of the larg est families in the county. All the children are married and the old est ones have large families. There are fifty-one grand-children, four teen of them have married and there are twenty-one great grand children. The oldest son has two daught ers who have twins, the oldest a girl and a boy four months old and the youngest, two boys two months old. The family has now reached one hundred in number. So you are not surpris'd at me saying it is one of the largest in the county. Mrs. Gardner is in her seven tieth year and is a happy Christian. They both attend preaching, Sun day school and prayer meeting regularly. They are members of Mount Vernon Baptist ceurch and attend all the general meetings and asso ciations it is possible for them to attend. 0. T. T. We have a few Mowers that we will close out at cost.

A Mother Before The Draft Board. We passed through a Solomon like moment. As for instance, that occasion when we laid aside the book of rules and called in a lovely, gray old mother to decide for herself which of her two sons should go and which should stay. It was a cruel moment. She look ed from one to the other and back again. Then, after a long, painful silence, she said, in a low tone, as if the words tore her heart a bit as they came — “I love them both —so take them both. I will get along somehow.” She held her head very high and smiled proudly through her tears as she went out.—From The Atlantic. Cut This Out—lt Is Worth Money. DON’T MISS THIS.

The sufferer says to himself, “If I could only be well, how happy I would be,’’ for health is more essential to the joy of living than is wealth. The kidneys almost literally wash the blood and keep it clean and free from impurities. When the kidneys are out of order, they fail to filter out this waste and pois onous matter. It remains in the system to cause backache, rheumatic pains, sore muscles and stiff joints. J^ygdiieygis help the system eliminate this poisonous waste. | They soothe, strengthen and heal sore, weak and diseased kidneys and bladder. When the kidneys are working properly, appetite returns, refreshing sleep is possible, and health and strength come again. C. W. Smith, 1205 No. 4th St., Satina, Kas., writes: “1 nm very much pleased with Foley Kidney Pills. I am working in a coal yard and have been very much troubled with my bncu. I have taken several doses of Foley Kidney Pills and they have already helped me.” The McDonot/cih Deug Zo OF WIN THE WAR METHODS ATLANTA, GA.

While much is said about tired women it must be remembered that men also pay the penalty of overwork. When the kidneys are weak, inactive or sluggish, when one feels tired out and miserable, lacks energy and ambition. Foley Kidney Pills are tonic and strength ening. Wm. H.
