Is Tillman Working A Graft?
Is Senator Tillman working a
smooth graft or is he getting
more than he deserves after
showing a testy temper?
Recently he let it be known
that, in his opinion, the frying
of chicken is a lost art in Wash
ington. This touched on the.
raw housekeepers used to the
old Southern way of cooking and
ever since they have been send
ing by messenger and post quan
tities of the choicest, most sa
vory fried chicken.
In fact, they are somewhat ov
er-doing it as the senator has
found it quite impossible to even
sample all the contributions re
ceived and Kis secretary and va
rious senate clerks have had a
feast on the samples.
The senator has ben obliged to
state that he was mistaken, that
the art of frying chicken is prac
ticed in the old time excellence
by the housewives of Washington
and that the demonstration, be
ing so complete, he really does
not care for any more chicken
just now.—Fort Smith Times

PERFECT CONFIDENCE
Newport People Have Good Rea
son for Complete Reliance.
Do you know how—
To find relief from backache;
To correct distressing urinary
ills;
To assist weak kidneys?
Many people in this vicinity
know the way
Have used Doan’s Kidney
Pills *
Have proved their worth in
many tests.
Here’s Batesville testimony:
E. J. Stein, Batesville, Ark.,
says: “I suffered so intensely
from backache that I could not
sleep. I had sharp twinges in
my loins and it often seemed as
if someone had thrust a sharp
intrument into me. Doan’s Kid
ney Pills cured me after other
medicines had failed. I still
take Doan’s Kidney Pills when I
feel in need of a kidney medicine
and they always help me. I wil
lingly confirm my former en
dorsement.”

Were men In the back alleys of Parle
who bad never heard his name. This
Illustration of popular Ignorance was
recalled by a Judge who was exam In

York city recently. He asked one of
these prospective citizen*, "Who is
the heed of your native country?”
“The king.” "Who becomes the head
When he dlee?" "His son." "And
whs is the head of tMs country?"
“The president." "And who would
ftsoeme the Wad if he died?" "His

DANGEROUS CALOMEL
GOING OUT OF USE
A Safer, More Reliable Remedy
Has Taken Its Place in the
Drug Store and in the
Home.
A few years ago, men, women
■ and children took calomel for a
sluggish liver and for constipa
tion. They took risks when
they did so, for calomel is a dan
gerous drug. Your family doc
tor will be the first to tell you
this if he discovers you dosing
yourself with calomel.
But the drug trade has found
a safer, more pleasant remedy
than calomel in Dodson’s Liver
Tone.
Walker’s Pharmac tells us
that their drug store sells Dod
son’s Liver Tone in practically
every case of biliousness and
liver trouble where calomel used
to be taken.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a veg
etable liver tonic that is abso
lutely harmless for children
and grown people. It sells for
50 cents a bottle and is guaran-'
I teed to be entirely satisfactory’
by Walker’s Pharmacy who will
refund your money with a smile j
if it does not give quick, gentle ’
relief without any of calomel’s |
unpleasant after-effects. (Adv)

WORKED LONG FOR SUCCESS
Mrs. Btannard Wrote Steadily for
Years Before "Bootle’s Baby"
Made He Hit.
1 ft is Interesting to recall Just now
(hat the late Mrs. Stannard, other
wise "John Strange Winter.” once de
scribed herself as a woman writer but
>>ot a “woman’s rlghter." Yet there
was certainly no lack of character or
brain power about the author of
“Bootle’s Baby," who was indeed an
eminently capable woman with a
clear, well-balanced Intellect, much
robust common sense, and a great ca
pacity for organization, which served
i her in good stead when she turned
from literature to commerce.
Struggling authors may be Interest
ed to know that <t was only after ten
years of Incessant work that Mra.
Stannard, who lived to write some
thing like one hundred books, scored
her first real success. And even this
might not have been achieved but
for a little piece of luck, for “Bootle’s
Baby,” the work In question, had then
been rejected by six London publish
ers nwd cast aside ss hopeless. Mrs.
Stanuard’s husband, however, ha®
pened to pick up the manuscript one
day, read it, liked it, and suggested
that he should send it to the Graphic.
Mrs. Stannard answered: “Send II
anywhere you like,” and no one was
more astonished than herself when In
due course the Graphic took it.—

“Did you say you were a month in

week with a lady on the third floor,
a week on the aecdmd and a weak on
the ground floor.”!
Negro Revivalist At Jail.
Dr. J. G. Robinson, colored, i
pastor of the negro church on 1
the corner of 6th and Main sts., i
held a service in the yard of
the county jail Sunday at 5 p.'
1 m. A large crowd of colored 1
people were with him, and did
some good singing.
In speaking to those in jail,
Rev. Robinson said: “The 23d
Psalm, the Lord’s Prayer and
the Sermon on the Mount, as
found in the Fifth chapter of
Matthew, are the three greatest
pieces of literature ever writ
ten. ‘The Lord is my Shepherd,’
can be true, in a sense, by every
man. Count up the efforts you
have put forth for God, and
then think of what God has done
for him, and he will be found to
say, ‘surely God is good and the
Lord is my Shepherd.’ This 23d
Psalm has gone on through the
world, ringing and singing a
way sorrows and troubles, and
giving men comfort. The old
crown that David wore, the old
palace in which he lived, and
much of the literature of his
day are all buried beneath ages,'
but this psalm is as fresh today !
as it was when it was written
thirty hundred years ago.
It has cheered pilgrims on
their long and dusty march, is
nas given quick step to soiaiers,
and given them courage as they
went to battle and to die. It has
given prisoners light hearts as
they languished in their cells,
it has been the comfort of the
dying saint, as he pillowed his
head upon the bosom of God.
Take it, read it; it will help
you.
Then the Lord’s Prayer has
been taught to every boy—
when he was innocent, yes, be
fore he ever took God’s name in
vain, before he ever smoked a
cigarette, before he ever drank
a glass of beer, mother taught
him that little prayer. And to
day mother—sweet mother— if
she is living. She is expecting
and looking for her boy to em
brace the God whom she trust
ed and if she is dead, her spirit
hovers over you today. Brother,
once more, turn to God and say
that little prayer.

WISHED SHE
COULD DIE
And Be Free From Her Trouble*,
bat Finds Better Way.
Columbia, Tenn.—"Many a time,**
says Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this place.
"I wished I would die and be relieved
of my buffering, from womanly troubles.
1 could not get up, without pulling at
something to help me, and stayed in oed
most of the time, 1 could not do my
housework.
The least amount of work tired me
out. My head would swim, and I would
tremble for an hour or more. Finally. I
look Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I
am not bothered with pains any more,
and 1 don’t have to go to bed. In fact,
I am sound and well of all my troubles.”
Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It acts with
nature—not against her. It is for the
tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel
as if everything were wrong, and need
something to quiet their nerves and
strengthen the worn-out system.
If you are a woman, suffering from any
of the numerous symptoms of womanly
trouble, take Cardui. It will help you.

Whole Family Benefited
By Wonderful Remedy
There are many little things to
annoy us, under present conditions
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability.. We are frequently so
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as well.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
like
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
to relieve the strain on the nerves.
Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, 82 Plum St.,
Atlanta Ga., writes:
"I have on several occasions been
vastly relieved by the use of your med
icines, especially the Anti-Pain Pills,
which I keep ' instantly on hand for
the use of myself, husband and twe
sons. Nothin? in the world equals them
as a headache remedy. Often I am
enabled by the use of one or two of
the Pills to continue my housework
when otherwise 1 would be in bed. My
husband Joins me in my praise of the
Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine."
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are relied upon to relieve pain,
nervou-.ne>- and irritability in thou
sands of households. Of proven
merit after twenty years’ use, you
can have no reason for being longer
without them. it
