The Garden of Today
.aid Tomorrow.
1 want you to see my garden now—
ami v, hat 1 hope to make it. later. " re¬
marked Miss Charley Porter, one morn
lug.
Just a few brief months ago the Por
i. moved into Covington from their
state-famous home at Porterdaie.
The newly acquired place was open
to decoration. As one views the beau
ties of the Garden of Today, ad¬
miration can only find expression in.
“Wonderful." There seemed but little
more to be desired. “Wait," said the
high priesless of this garden beautiful.
So. in the language of the daintv coup¬
let:
“1 can shut my eyes and see
■ last the garden it will be.”
Purely, if the same rate of georrftetri
oal progression continues, that garden
of tom morrow will be a realized ideal of
the poet, whose fancy limned a gar¬
den. *
“Margined by fruits of gold and whis¬
pering myrtles;
Where softest skies are cloudless, save
with rare and roseate shadows.
From out a glossy bower
Of coolest foliage, musical with birds
and every air heavy with the frag
ranee of orange groves.
V, here manners of low fountains gush
forth,
[' the midst of roses!”
Dost thou like the picture?
Miss Adams Sings in Atlanta.
Covington and the many friends of
Miss Clara Bell Adams, feel an es¬
pecial pride and interest in the distinc¬
tly.' compliment received recently at
the earnest solicitation of the director
"f the choir in the First Baptist church
in Atlanta. Miss Adams consented to
sing to that congregation. She went to
Atlanta for one rehearsal and. on Iasi
Sabbath she scored a signal success
singing before a large and appreciative
audience.
Miss Adams went up from Indian
Springs, where she was a member of
the Girl's Club party.

FA.lt EAST PONZI RIV ALS
AMERICAN, DROPS MILLION.
Sells Sterling and Shares He
Has Seen, and Then the Slump.
Shanghai.—Judah Jsaae Ezrah had
not heard of the 1920 financial wizard
of Boston, Charles Ponzi. but the tale
he unfolded at a public examination
in the British Supreme court was a
tale of frenzied finance in tile Far East
that might make the head of even the
Boston bankrupt swim.
This much is certain: Ezrah, two
years ago, had about $75,000; one year
ago he was a millionaire; today he is
a bankrupt, with liabilities of more
than $2,500,000 and with only about
$1,000 as assets. His creditors arc
found from Northern China to Java.
He had sold sterling which he had
never bought and never intend ti>
buy; he had bought shares on a
“sporting chance,” shares that he had
never seen. He had borrowed large
sums from Shanghai banks on no se¬
curity, and when the day of reckoning
came he was unable to pay.

Their Medicine Chest For 20 Vears j
I T is characteristic of
folks after they pass the allotted
“three score years and ten,” to look
back over the days that are gone
and thoughtfully live them over.
I find myself, at seventy-one, frequently
drifting hack a quarter or a eentury, wheu
l see myself in the little drug store 1 owned
at vegetable Bolivar, Mo., making and selling a
customers—what compound to iny friends and
was then known only as
Or. Lewis' Medicine for Stomach, Liver
and Bowel Complaints.
For many years while I was perfection n y
formula I studied and investigated lue
laxatives and cathartics on the market and
became convinced that their main fault
was not that they did not art on the bowels
but that their action was too violent and
drastic, which and upset the system ot the user;
was due to the fact that they were
not thorough enough in their action, some
simply acting on the upper or small intes¬
tines, while others would act only on the
lower or large intestines, and that they
almost invariably produced a habit re¬
quiring augmented doses.
I believed that a preparation to produce
the best effect must first tone the liver,
then acton the stomach and entire alimen¬
tary system. If this was accomplished, the
medicine would produce a unld, but
thorough usual elimination of the waste without
the sickening sensations, aud make
the user feel better at once.

formula compounds, I at last perfected the
