WHEN YOU THINK OF
Summer Time
Think of the things that will mean the greatest comfort
for you in your home.
Think back over the past summers and try to remember
the things that made the hot days even more oppressive.
Of all that you remember, isn’t there some one task
above all other that stands out as being particularly irksome
and unpleasant to you ?
Isn’t that one think the task of cooking with the old-
fashioned wood or coal range that makes the air in the kitch-
en almost as hot as that in the oven itself ?
When you think of the remedy for this discomfort,
think of—
Cooking By Electricity

WHAT IS
LAX-FOS
LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA
A Digestive Laxative
CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC
Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medi-
cine but is composed of the following
old-fashioned roots and herbs:
CASCARA BARK
BLUE FLAG ROOT
! RHUBARB ROOT
i BLACK ROOT
MAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN
la Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by
the addition of these digestive ingredi-
ents making it better than ordinary Cas-
cara, and thus the combination acts not
only as a stimulating laxative and cathar-
tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.
Syrup laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos
combines strength with palatable, aro-
matic taste and does not gripe or disturb
the stomach. One bottle will prove
Lax-Fos is invaluable for Constipation,
Indigestion or Torpid Liver. Price 50c.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na-
ture in doing its work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Hall’s Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
ef testimonials.

ting was a little more severe on the
Windom side.

electing Prof Spencer as manager and
Ralph Evans captain.

some excellent pitching for Windom,
holding the Bonham boys almost hit-
less.

COUNTY COURT.
J6hn Hawkins was before the county
court last Thursday on a charge of
theft, to which he pleaded guilty and
was given a fine of $1 and ten days in
jail.
Monday the court took up the case
of Williamson-Spelce Co., vs. J. M.
Porterfield. It is alleged by plaintiffs
that they furnished goods to a tenant
on land of defendant, and suit was
brought for amount due on the goods.
The case is still before the court.
GLAD TO TESTIFY
lays Watoga Lady, “As To What
Cardui Has Done For Me, So
As To Help Others.1’
Watoga, W. Va.—Mrs. S. W. Gladwell,
of this town, says: '‘When about 15 years
of age, I suffered greatly ... Sometimes
would go a month or two, and I had
terrible headache, backache, and bearing-
down pains, and would just drag and
had no appetite. Then ... it would last
... two weeks, and was so weakening,
and my health was awful.
My mother bought me a bottle of
Cardui, and I began to improve after
taking the first bottle, so kept it up till I
took three... I gained, and was well
and arong, and I owe it all to Cardui.
I n married now and have 3 children
..! *ave never had to have a doctor for
female double, and just resort to Cardui
'f I need a tonic. I am glad to testify to
what it has done for me, so as to help
athers.”
If you are nervous or weak, have head-
aches, backaches, or any of the other
ailments so common to women, why not
give Cardui a trial? Recommended by
many physicians. In use over 40 years.
Begin taking Cardui today. It may
be the very medicine you need.

SERVICES MONDAY
LARGE CROWDS HEARD DR.
DODD AT FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH YESTERDAY.
At the morning hour on Monday Dr.
Dodd gave his first sermon on the sec-
ond coming of Christ to the largest
audience we have ever seen at a day
service in the Baptist church. The au-
dience on Monday attested the interest
of the people in the neglected doctrine
of the second coming. A number of
Bible passages were read to show that
the second coming \does not mean
simply the influence of Christ in the
world, or His coming at the death of
the children of God but that it means
His bodily, visible, audible and person-
al afpp'earance. It was convincingly
shown that it was a practical doctrine
because of what it accomplishes in the
lives of those who believe it and wait
expectantly for His appearing.
A strong sermon at the night ser-
vice was heard on repentance and
faith. A striking figure to illustrate
the meaning of repentance was that
of the alien who would become a nat-
uralized citizen of America. All he
must do is to renounce his allegiance
to the old government and take the
oath of allegiance to the new govern-
ment. He does not get it by giving
money in any amount, nor does he get
it by keeping the laws of the land. It
was also shown that breach of the
laws after becoming a citizen of the
United States does not lose to him his
citizenship.
Eight members were received dur-
ing the day. The meeting will con-
tinue through the week. At a confer-
ence of the men of the church last
night Dr. Dodd was strongly petition-
ed to remain another week. His an-
swer to the request had not been given
when this article was written.
Insomnia.
Indigestion nearly always disturbs
the sleep more or less, and is often the
cause of insomnia. Eat a light supper
with little if any meat, and no milk;
also take one of Chamberlain’s Tablets
immediately after supper, and see if
you do not rest much better. Obtaina-
ble everywhere.
ROOMS TO RENT.

Safe Medicine for Children.
“Is it safe?” is the first question to
be considered when buying cough med-
icine for children. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy has long been a favor-
ite with mothers of young children as
it contains no opium or other narcotic,
and may be given to a child as confi-
dently as to an adult. It is pleasant
to take, too, which is of great import-
ance when a medicine must be given
to young children. This remedy is
most effectual in relieving coughs,
colds and croup. Obtainable every-
where.
BRIDGE BIDS WANTED.
Bids will be received by the under-
signed until May 14, 1917 for furnish-
ing steel and materials for three
bridges to be erected in Comissioner’s

bility road over Indian creek. One

foot bridge on Orangeville-White-
wright road over Whiterock creek!
Comissioners court reserves right
to reject any and all bids.

THE EDITOR’S TROUBLES.
Most any one can be an editor. All
the editor has to do is to sit at a desk
six days out of the week, four weeks
of the month, and twelve months of
the year, and “edit” such stuff as this:
“Mrs. Jones, of Cactus Creek, let a
can-opener slip last week and cut her-
self in the pantry.'
“A mischievous lad of Piketown
threw a stone and hit Mrs. Pike in
the ally last Thursday.”
“John Doe climbed on the roof of his
house last week looking for a leak and
fell, striking himself on the porch.”
“While Harold Green was escorting
Miss Violet Wise from the church so-
cial last Saturday night, a savage dog
attacked and bit Mr. Green on the
public square.”
“Isaiah Trimmer of Running Creek,
was playing with a cat last Friday,
when it scratched him on the veran-
da.”—Selected.

THERE IS NO ANSWER.
Billy was about to be married, and
his friends—married friends—were
giving him good advice, the burden of
which was “Forget it.’
But Billy was not to be dissuaded.
“Oh, I don’t know,” he replied. “Mar-
riage is all right if you take it in the
right wa^. Now, all this talk about
matrimonial quarrels, arguments, and
so on, is all nonsense. Surely you can
accept one another’s point of view.
And, anyway, there’s always an an-
swer to every argument.”
“Oh, is there?” growled the old
married man. “I tell you, my boy,
there’s one argument in married life
that you’ll never be able to answer.”
“Really! And what is that?”
“Why, when your wife says, “If the
Browns can afford it we can!” You
