RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, the death angel visited
i the happy home of Hon. Fred R. Suits
and removed from it, his life, a bright
jewel to his community, to the Golden
Shore of the Great Beyond, leaving
behind a family heartbroken to
mourn the loss of a noble, devoted,
Christian husband who awaits their
coming to join jhim l'n the Glory
Land.
Whereas, his life was a monument
to all with whom he came in con
! tact as a devoted advocate of all re
j jorms, both civicly and religiously,
! leaving behind him a record that
shall never si|nk into oblivion but
stand as a memorial to present and
future generations in their establish
ment of the highest standards of
manhood,
Therefore we, the Chamber cf Com
merce of the city o' Newport, Ark.,
of which he was a member, deem it
a loss to our community in business,
social, and civic welfare, that shall
i hold as a vacancy with a rare fulfill
j ment in years to come, and with a
h art full of sympathy extended to
the bereaved and loved ones and with
a deep sense of his high respect and
progressiveness as a citizen, we the
Chamber of Commerce, recognize on
the Honor Roll another name of one
of our most zealous and potent bene
factors.
Be It Further Resolved, That copies
of this resolution be published in the
Independent and sent to the bereaved
dfe.

SAGE TEA DANDY
Tt’s Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.
You can turn gray, faded hair boau
! :lfuliy dark and lustrous almost over
night If you’ll get a bottle of “Wyeth’s
3age and Sulphur Compound” at any
drug store. Millions of bottles of this
old famous Rage Tea liecipe, improved
oy the addition of other ingredients,
ire sold annually, says a well-known
druggist here, because It darkens the
hair so naturally and evenly that no
jne can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await
ing them, because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This Is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren’t
wanted around, so get busy with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound
to-night and you’ll be delighted with
your dark, handsome hair and your
youthful appearance within a few
days.
This preparation Is a toilet requisite

gation or prevention of disease.

Swift & Company
Has Not “Jest Growed”
! Swift & Company, in fifty years of well
ordered growth, has become one of the
great national services because it has
learned to do something for the American
people which they needed to have done
for them, in the way in which they
preferred to have it done.
It has met each successive demand, in
the changing conditions of national life,
by getting good meat to increasing mil
lions effectively, efficiently, economically,
and expeditiously.
The Swift & Company packing plants,
refrigerator cars, car routes, branch
houses, organization, and personnel of
today are the practical solutions, bom of
practical experience, to the food problems
of half a century.
I Because of all these elements working in
correlation and unison, Swift & Company
is able to supply more and better meat to
more people than would have been pos
sible otherwise, at a net profit per pound of
meat so low (a fraction of a cent) that the
consumer price is practically unaffected.
Strip away any portion of this vast,
smooth-running human machine, and you
make a large part of the meat supply
uncertain, lose the benefit of half a century
of fruitful experience, and scatter the
intelligent energies of men who have
devoted a life work toward meeting the
needs of a nation in one vital field.
!The booklet of preceding chapters in this story of
the packing industry will be mailed on request to

HOW A SALESMAN SUFFERED.

Says Backache is a sign you have bean
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.
' When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen*
j erally means jtou have been eating too
! much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re
moving all" the body’s urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
| to seek relief two or three times during
| the night.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
NOT BE CURED,
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
j tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
i constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
| deafness is caused by an inflamed
j condition of the mucous lining of the
| Eustachian Tube. When this tube is •
; inflamed you have a rumbling sound
1 or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re
sult. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mu
cous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medi
cine acts through the blood on tht^.
mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollam
for any case of Catarrhal Deafnessr*
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
