There's no peace and little
rest for the one who suffers
from a bad back, and distress-

Pills. Ask your neighbor! I5e
guided by their experience.
Mrs. S. H. Brooks, Pine St..!
Winnsboro, says: "There was I
a continual ache in the small
of my back and fit night 1 kept
turning from one side to the
other, hardly getting one wink
of sleep. I was very nervous!
and the least thing set my nerv-
es on edge. I had severe pains
in the back of my head and diz-
zy spells. 1 read of Doan's Pills
in the paper and used two lx>x-
es from Fowler's Drug Store
and they gave me relief."
Over Four Years Later, Mrs.
Brooks added: "The occasional
use of Doan's keeps my kidneys
in a healthy condition."

Burr was aided by Herman Blenner-

money, and was in consequence ruined
financially and socially. Burr was ar-

November 25, 1800, failed to find a true
bill against him. On the twenty-sev-
enth of the snme month President Jef-
ferson issued n proclamation against
Ihf supposed conspiracy, and warned
all citizens against engaging in It.
Burr was arrested a second time, July

, i ou may obtain these at just about what it would
cost you to buy the materials and mix them yourself
if you figure that your time in mixing is worth
anything.
However, all the A. & M. Colleges and Experiment
Stations recommend "complete fertilizers" such as we
make in our MEAL & PHOSPHATE FERTILIZERS.
We believe that they will pay better than just the
plain phosphate with meal. That is why we make
them.

* Using a Hard One
Waldo's teacher had awketl him to
write a sentence containing the word
"amphibious," nnd as Waldo la only
twelve he had some trouble spelling
llie word, but nfter several calls ou
teacher fot aid, evidently got it writ-
ten to bis satisfaction. Then ensued
a long period of concentration and
wriggling. It was broken when Waldo
asked how to spell "containing."
At laat be laid the results of Ills
labor on the teacher's desk and tliU I*
what she read:
"My teacher has asked me to wvlts
a sentence containing the word am-
phibious."
Taking No Chances
"I tell you that I won't have this

bell boy who was conducting her. "I
ain't goln' to pay good money for a

In It. If you think that Jest because
I'm from the country—"
Profoundly disgusted, the boy cut
her short. "Oet In. mum. Oet In. Thla
nln't your room. This Is the elevator."

* His Best Job
Two barbers were comparing notes
as to their adventures in their profes-
sion.
"What was the best Job you ever
did?" asked Hie tlrst man.
"I once shaved a customer," replied
the second, slowly.
"Well, what then?"
"Then I persupded him to have a
haircut, shampoo, facial massage,
singe, sca-fnnui, electric buzz, tar
spray and tonic rub."
"What then?"
"By the time I had finished he need-
ed another shave."
The Sad Fart
"Pick proposed to me last night,"
Marjorle announced, excitedly.
"Oil! Did he?" exclaimed Virginia.
"Yes, and I Just adore Dick! He's
Sfi handsome!"
"And did you accept him?" Virginia
Queried. "Are you engaged?"
"Ob. Virginia, we're not!" Marjorle
replied. "That's the sad part of It.
Dick Is Jus! the most wonderful per-
son on earth, but I had to tell him
that I Just couldn't be engaged to h'm
right away. Why, It will take me nt
least a week to hrenk off the engage-
ment I have with Tom!"

FAR too many home-owners make the mistake of in-
suring for the original value instead of for the pres-
ent-day replacement cost.' Re-building is the big ser-
vice of fire insurance. Insure for full value so that
you can rebuild if fire comes.
There is no sure rprotection than a policy in the Hart-
