Mr. and Mrs. George H. Vogel were
down from Jacksonport this morning,
having returned yesterday from Lit
tle Rock, where they were called
Sunday by the illness of her son who |
is attending Little Rock College.
Circuit court for the Eastern Dis-'
trict of Lawrence county convened
at Walnut Ridge Monday, but with
such a light docket that work will be
finished in one week. Judge Cole- j
man and Earl Casey were through
here Sunday evening going to that
place.

Mrs. J. D Parks and little son,
Jack, have returned from spending
summer at Portageville, Mo. We un
derstand Mr. and Mrs. Parks leave
the first of the month for S't. Louis,
and the first of the year move to
Fayetteville, where Mr. Parks has
accepted a spiendid position.

James Rutherford was down from
Batesville yesterday to meet his sis
ter, Miss Lou Alice, who was return
ing from Little Rock, where she is
taking a course in Draughon’s Busi
ness College, but which is now
closed on account of the epidemic of
influenza.
Late this afternoon it was an
nounced that Misses Elise Hooker and
Antoinette Bond have volunteered
their services in the work of assist
ing the county health nurse, Mrs.
Spitzer, to combat and treat influen
za cases in Newport and Jackson
county, these young ladies being the
first to enroll.
Claude Pearce, the 13 year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Fate Peace of Tru
nan, died Monday and the remains
were brought here last night for bur
ial at Watson cemetery this morning
at 10 o’clock. The parents formerly
lived on the Island and have many
friends in that section of the county
who will sympathize with them in
the loss of their son.
It is with general regret that the
friends of the family learn of the
critical illness of little Lillian Moore
head, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Moorehead of our city. The little
girl was stricken last Saturday with
influenza, which developed into pneu
monia, and her condition this morn
ing was consiered very serious. Mrs.
Emma Gardner of Memphis has been
summoned by the family.
Mrs. Scarborough wishes to call
attention to the new ruling that on
account of scarcity of yarn, the knit
ters in town and over the county are
expected to knit up their supply of
thread and turn it back by the 25th. j
All chairmen of knitting units should ,
give out yarn only with this object j
in view. Keep a record of where
yarn is and keep after it. If a knitter
finds she cannot finish her garment
in time, let her give it over to some
one else who can and will. We can
not have yarn out as long as some
of our put-of-town units are holding
it.

YOUR GRAY HAIR
—
Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmothers
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect
But brewing at home is mussy ana
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of ‘‘Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gredients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. Tou simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended foi
the cure, mitigation or prevention ol
disease. yS

default thereof I will on

For Your Stomach, Liver and
Kidney Troubles.
This wonderful Vin Hepatica, is Nature’s own remedy for
stomach, liver and kidney troubles, and we want you to try it.
It is made from Nature’s own medicinal roots, herbs, barks
and berries, whose healing and curative properties have been
known to the medical profession for centuries yet never com
bined into one great medicine until recently, when modern
medical scientists discovered the art of combining them in the
correct proportion and gave to the sick and suffering of the
MEAT CAUSE OF
KIEHBOUBLE
Take a glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers—Meat
forms uric acid.
If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that, meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you |
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, j
tongue is coated and when the weather j
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The ,
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three |
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body’s urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here:
take a tablespoonful in n glass qf
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid o.
grapes and lemon juice, combined wit.:
lithia, and has been used for generation
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidney:
also to neutralize the acids in urin.
so it ;io longer irritates, thus end in
bladder weakness.
