A WOMAN’S BACK.

The Aches and Pains Will Disappear if the Advice of This Brookhaven

Citizen is Followed.

A woman’s back has many aches and pains.

Most times ’tis the kidne y’s fault.

Backache is really kidney ache; That’s why Doan’s Kidney Pills cure it.

Many Brookhaven women know this.

Read what one has to say about it:

Mrs. S. E. Childs, living Cor. Monticello St. and Railroad Ave.. Brookhaven, Miss., says: “Sever- al years ago during the epidemic of fever here, I fell a victim and as

a result was left with weak kid- neys. This marked the beginning of my suffering from backache and weak kidneys and from that time on the pains became worse. I was

subject to spells of excruciating suffering, and at times the twinges were so sharp and piercing that I thought they would kill me. I was in mortal agony and the secre-

tions from my kidneys caused me

additional annoyance. I had read about Doan’s Kidney Pills, and while proprietary medicines did not seem to help me, I nevertheless procured a box and began their use. I improved in a short time, my back felt very much better and the kindeys were normal and regu- lar in action. I am glad to recom-

mend Doan’s Kidney Pills to other sufferers.”

Brookhaven Mother Didn’t Want Child.

Capt. Norris, of the Salvation Army, wants to find a home for a

ten-year-old boy who was turned over to him last night.

The boy is Rudolph Robertson, a

bright-eyed little chap who reached here yesterday from Brookhaven. The boy says that his mother put him on the train at Brookhaven yesterday, gave him $2 in money, and told him to come to Jackson and go to the home of a family named Galvani. He followed "in- structions, but it seems that the Galvani family have children of their own, and reported the case to CaptJ. Norris, who agreed to take charge of the youngster and find him a home.

According to the boy’s story, he was not treated properly by his stepfather. When the Galvani family resided at Brookhaven the Robertson boy played with their children, and Mrs. Robertson evi- dently took it for granted that they would like to have the youngster.

Capt. Norris has written a letter to the boy’s mother informing her that he will try to find a home for the lad, but she must agree to sign adoption papers.—Jackson News, 23rd.

To Drive Rats Away. Rats are very destructive to all

manner of grains, causing a loss to the farmes beyond accurate compu- tation. Any logical move which will tend to lessen this very expen- sive evil should have the attention of every farmer in the South and if it’s possible to drive the rodents to the woods, great good will be ac-

complished. The American Agri- culturalist of New York gives the experience of a farmer from Maine as follows:

Sprinkle sulphur on your barn floor and through your corn as you gather it, there will not be a rat or mouse to bother. I have done this for years and have never been bothered with rats or mice. I have some old corn in my crib at present, and not a rat or mouse can be found. In stacking hay or oats sprinkle on the ground a little and through each load, and my word for it, rats or mice can’t stay there.

A pound of sulphur will be suffi- cient to preserve a large barn of corn and is good for stock and will not hurt the corn for bread.—Cot- ton Journal.

MALARIAL DISEASES.

How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg- lect.

_

“Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor,” remarked a sallow- faced, sickly looking man, entering a

prominent physician’s office the other day.

The doctor stepped to his medicine case, toolcdown a couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to ‘shake well and follow directions,’ and resumed his seat.

“Such cases are frequent,” replied the ioctor in answer to a question. “The warm days and damp, chilly nights are

:ertain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in jood condition. Such persons are full I

}f the impurities on which the malarial rerm anrl it from tliie rloco

hat typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright’s Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim ( nost of their victims whenever these dis- uses are prevalent. I

The proper way to guard against the ] nalarial germ and’ the serious diseases vhich follow it is to get into good condi- ion by taking a reliable remedy that | fill keep the bowels clear and the livej | tealthy, and to continue with it at fre- [uent intervals during the sickly season.

A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or

our times a week will do all of this, be. ides stimulating the digestion, improv- ng the appetite and keeping the bodily nergy at the highest pitch. ’

Prickly Ash Bitters is known every* 1 fhere as a system tonic and bowel regu- j ator. It not only removes all traces of

{ lalarial poison from the system, bu, ones up the vital organs, gives new

e

trength and vigor, makes the body t trong and the brain active. i “Prickly A“h Bitters is the best all-around 1 tedicuie for the family I ever used. During the 1 "St ten years I hare always kept it in my house, f Whenever any «.f my family show signs of mala- a, kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation T few doses is nil that is needed to make them + ell and hearty again.—W. H. McWilliams. 1

LETTER FROM HON. W. F. PARSONS.

Takes a Short Trip Into Canada—Ne- groes Put on Style in Church.

The editor of The Leader receiv- ed a personal letter Sunday from Hon. W. F. Parsons, dated at Mt. Clemens, Mich., Aug. 20th, from which the following extracts are

copied because of their general in- terest:

By the way, I took a little trip out into Canada and in Windsor^ Can., went through a whisky dis- tillery; and just think of it, they had stored 160,000 barrels. It was

positively more whisky than I thought there was on earth. I was told while in the distillery that a man fell in one of the vats recently and was drowned. I spoke to the President and asked him what effect he thought prohibition would eventually have on the whisky man-

ufacturing interests in Canada. He simply smiled and said there would never be a time when they couldnt’ sell all the whisky that they could make. The amount of corn, oats, barley and rye that is used by this concern in the manu- facture of whisky would supply Lincoln county.

We have quite a little delegation here now trom Misisssippi. Mr. Rundel and family from Natchez, Mr. Mims and Dr. Wright from Jackson, Judge Miller and wife from Hazlehurst, as well as Mr. Ellis and family from Hazlehurst; also Mr. Hardy from Jackson arriv- ed today. All being treated for rheumatism. Some wonderful cures are being accomplished here, persons being brought in on litters and rolling chairs, and on crutches, are going away every day leaving their conveyances and apparatus

Efljfjlosed I send y«y^00dodgers of ft® h iganopli tid,"*1 which I am

sur^will iiffiPpst'ybu from the sim- ilar^ of cdramfons in our own be- loved Misisssippi1. IS,

I have attended Church every Sunday since I. arrived here, taking them all in, to th£ Christian Science, which I attended last Sun- day, where 1 '"*Vas informed if I could believe in Christian Science that I would not need the water treatment, but as I could not be- lieve I would have to stick to the tub.

While, as I told you in my last letter about the scarcity of niggers here, they appear very prominent in all the churches. There were three at the Methodist church last Sunday that took prominent posi- tions along beside the white peo- ple and made the welkin ring with their melodious voices. I found also at the Baptist church an ele- gantly dressed pot-black damsel in one of the most prominent pews.

Mr. Parsons says he expects to return in a week or ten days.

Representative G. H. Alford, of ’ike, was in Brookhaven Monday n route to Natchez to attend the >ig Farmers’ Institute at that dace, and favored The Leader with pleasant call. Mr. Alford is an

Items from Last Friday’s Wesson En- terprise.

H. B. Moore and wife, who went to the Old Soldiers’ Home a few weeks ago, had to return to Wesson on account of Mrs. Moore’s luiigs.

Or. W. L. Little has received notice that he has been appointed official delegate to the International Congress on Tuberculosis, which meets in Washington, D. C., Sep- tember 21 to October 12.

There is some talk of the mer- chants of Copiah, Lincoln and Pike Counties giving notice that after twelve months none of them will sell any kind of feed stuff. That would be the best move they could push.

The two large cotton gins within the corporate limits of Wesson, owned and operated by J. R. Thompson, and the Wesson Oil and Fertilizer Company, will begin opertions next week. Indictions point to a large ginning season. Mr. Thompson has also erected a model building and gin near Heuck’s Retreat, six miles south of Wesson, on the Mississippi Cen- tral Railroad.

Every voter, before casting his ballot for a man to go to Congress should try to sufficiently acquaint himself with men and measures to vote intelligently, and I believe all ...1_J •n r* w

rviiv ou win uiiu nisi nun.

Thomas Shelton, born and reared in Copiah county, will be a safe man to represent this district in Con- gress. I would not vote for any man for Congress who does not op- pose foreign immigration, and Tom is opposed to it with all his ability.

Rev. J. C. Scultz has been a busy man in the Lord’s work the past several weeks. He recently held a five days meeting at Wellman, preaching three times a day, which resulted in the organization of a

Baptist church there with 25 mem-

bers, and he being chosen pastor for the balance of this year. After this meeting he held his annual meeting with Union Baptist church, Bro. Will Darling assisting. This meeting resulted in fourteen con- versions for baptism; two joined by letter and two were restored to the church. Rev. Schultz says it was a great revival.

Feather pillows, quilts, com- forts and sheets are need- ed to furnish the Old Ladies’ Home at Jackson, soon to open. Many good women who would like to contribute something to this no- ble charity, but haven’t the ready cash, can contribute quite as effect- ually in this way with the work of their hands, at a nominal cost. The Brookhaven auxiliary of the Old Ladies Home could do a good work by giving attention along this line just now and reporting to Mrs. A. H. Longino, President, at Jack- son.

Just Like a Man. "John, the cook has left—” “Now,

Gwendolyn, Is It right to meet me with such news when I return home late from the office all tired out and hungry—” “But, John, dear, I merely want to say the cook his left—” “Yes, I know you ‘merely want to say.’ And I merely want to say that It’s a whanged shame that this house- hold is eternally disorganized. Other women manage to keep their serv-

ants. Why can’t you? Why—” “John Smith, I tell you that the cook knew juu nuum uc mic, ou out; icu a vuiu

chicken, a custard pudding and a pint of claret on the dining-room table for you.” “Well, Gwendolyn, why in the name of common intelligence didn’t you say that at first?”—Judge.

Knew It in Advance. "Halloa, Badger,” said Thorpe;

"met a friend of yours the other day. He’s been talking about you, and I

'feel it my duty to tell you what he said.” “Ah, well, I don’t care to hear what he said. I know it was some-

thing disagreeable,” replied Badger. ■

"How do you know that?” “Because you are so anxious to tell it. Good morning.—Stray Stories.

Back to the Hay. The foreign nobleman was keenly

disappointed. “I was hoping, mon-

sieur,” he sighed, “that you might possibly install me in your glorious family.” The wealthy mine owner i

laughed. “Install you?” he echoed. “Why, certainly. You will find our

family stable to the left and if you don’t disturb the horses you may have 1

a stall all to yourself.”

Farming in La Vendee. “I found more things to interest me

in rural France, which I toured not long ago, than in the gay capital of that nation,” said E. F. Burnham, of San Francisco, at the New Willard. “While in many parts of the republic agriculture has been brought to a

high state of perfection, in some of the departments it is still in a primi- tive condition.

“In La Vendee, for instance, I saw women spinning with those old in- struments, the distaff and spindle, which were in use 4,000 years ago. Throughout that locality sheep were kept for their milk, cows were worked at the plow and harrow, the wheat was ground by windmills, and the women went to market in little carts drawn by donkeys. Another odd sight was the portable stills which went from farm to farm making brandy, of which the district produces a consid- erable quantity.”—Washington Post.

Police Want Eight-Hour Day. The New York police now want an

eight-hour day. Several hundred of them recently met and organized a union. The men also will make a | stand for the three platoon system.

Marriage an “Elndurance Thrile.” ■

“Th’ throuble about mathrimony, as

I have obsarved, it fi*m me seat in ,

th’, gran’ stand, ts that afther fifteen t or twlnty years it settles down to an

endurance thrile. ’Women,’ as Hogan says, ‘are creatures iv such beauch- ? eous mien, that to be loved they have j but to be seen; but,’ he says, ‘wanst they’re seen an’ made secure,’ he says, ‘we-first embrace, thin pity, thin 1

endure,’ he says.’’ — “Dooley,” in Harper’s.

Mot for Her. An English Vegetarian proposed to a
