The Anderson Phosphate &

Are making a Fish, Blood and Bone Gooda this
year that probably has no equal on the market.
Wh??i all the Fertilizer is about the tame price,
why not sei the Best. There is nothing better
than Fish, Blood and Bone-goods and we are not
at all sure there is any as good. ...
It will not pay you tb take any chances on your
Fertilizer, for by the time you find you have used
an inferior Fertilizer you have practically lost a
crop for it is too late to repair the damage.

TM Ml I WAH YOUNG AGAIN.
I wish 1 vam young ngnln; wlgh I
could feel Jolly and happy like I use
to aee Bean; ariah the little things in
Ufo could make me feel happy aa
.?ey did her and does yet I suppose. 1
But Bhe la in a nest of ter own now, *
and her happljesa fails to put new| ?
VC *** ***** **. **? "'** 'u by-gono days.
I ban no long'- hear her jolly songs
ansi seo her bright face aa she skips
hither and thither, and many times
a good long dancing spell after tho
poatinaa had brought ber a letter,
a plain little letter from one ot her
chumo; some happy, frolicing girl
like herself whom -'the cares of life
had not yet fallen upon. Many times
haye I seen ber dance the front porch
until she waa nearly frozen, then
come into my room and pile rugs and
<hairs in a corner then.bring me to1
my feet and give a few swings that '
.would make my stiff Joints feel as If
they would break; while abe sang rag
time worse than a boot-black. Yes,
she was young and happy and an op
timist from the crown of her head tot
tbe sole of her feet, of course an op
timist and happy as could be, noth
ing bad ever come her way but the
good things ot life, and there was
no need to feel the .world waa a
gloomy old place. Well. ? am glad to
say that her young life was so- full
of sunshln. I am glad aa I can be
that the young can be happy over
little things, glad that all the first
tow years require so little to bring
happiness, and sorry this Joy must
toe broken'up for the want of confi
dence, for BUrely lt ia for tho want of
confidence thai we lose faith in our
friends, and (hen begin to doubt them
and ere we reach middle age it takes
more than nattery and promise to
make us happy. Time and experience
are rigid tutors, and they play havo
vith :iie man or woman who cares
on'... for the flimsy things of life.
Beung happy and Jolly ls a good feel
ing to have, .but if it isnt over tbe
useful things of Ufo, tho best in life,
wp will abed tears of sorrow over
the things that once gave ua the most
pleasure. For thia reason we are
prone to be pesahniatic, we are tempt
ed to believe all things end In sor
row, and after years and years of
joys ending this wao\ we old folks
scarcely- expect anything but the
dark aldo. I'm often called an old
pessimist, and it burts my feeling, tout
do you know I am afraid in time mine
accusers will have a touch of the
same bad feeling. -As we grow older
we are forced to see the world and
all nature in a dig?rent light from
that of our young days, <We ssey try
wtth all our might to take a more
hopeful view of our surroundings, but
things Just will not look like they
use to. I have read of several noted
authors who were forced In advanced
years to give up their werk because
they had become pessimistic; they
were men and women who had up to
fifty years of age filled vol?imo after]
volume, tbe grandest - literary pro
duction, but at'the first sign ct a?e:
lost their hold on cheerful views and
could write nothing but tho gloomy
things in life, yet these sume au
thors had lost'none of their literary
knowledge; they had only reached
tao age In life where the sun failed
to shine as bright as it once did. They
did not mean to be pessimistic, but
they could no longer see the world
in the same bright light. We aro
forced to this tendency to see moro
caranero than light. Hoi only au?
thors have this feeling but it 1? com
oon with all of ua after we have
passed the fifty mile post. I wouldn't
mind lt so much but I do not want
say friends to think of me aa an old
pessimist. I'm rure I waa as Jolly
and happy In my youth aa any girl
you caa find today. ITU sure it took
aa little then to make me happy aa
any girl now. I bad all tho confident
and faith in humanity, that one could
have. I believed cverjr word that
was told me. 1 see now lt WT? for
the want of wisdom, but somehow I
wish this ignorsnce waa mine today;
wish I could believe in everybody. I
think it would bring peace and joy.
Tho older we grow the more wo dis
trust those about ua, and I . fear the
fault ia mostly ours. Measuring
those abolit us by our own standard
never gives saUBfaction. Condemn
ing people only toringa to light our
own shortcomings.Ian* tt a pKy we

1 am sorry I pitched the clothes right
on?1 left when she brought them, but
they weie so damp and dingy I hard

sav much, nothing only I ?would pay

a mothar was brought ~?~;? -
?sr^eUore U trein?* her children,
t?be bad three ?ona about grown and
hey were noted for their badness,
[hay were continually getting into
rouble, and the court' wanted to
enow why this mother bad so utterly
'ailed in her duties; surely sro was
he poorest mother in the world, bad
lone nothing to make her sonB good*
vsefful men, and abe should expect to
t?e severely censured for her failure,
rh cn the (poor. ?>nfort??bte mother
began her plea, first for herself then
tor ber sons; a plea of poverty and
jveiwork. The place called home
was one in name only, a place to eat
md sleep, a poor place for rest and
BO place at all for counsel and kind
ness. The mother was cook and
house keener, ?be prepared their
soarse meals an d' mend ed their own
slothes, had food and clothes ready
shea they rushed In from work,
rhey were only at home to eat and
sleep. The mother told of their early
raising, what a teak to get them up
rcr*breakfSst to be ?etan before dawn.
Prom early childhood it was always
set up early, but the luxury of carly
to bed was unknown to them. These
three law-breaking - sons were the
eldest of the twelve, and they must
aiake their own bread and help sup
port the ill-fated family. Ill-fated
it must to be to have mouths to fill
sud nothing to fill them Such was
the case here. The boya, were only at
Borne during the . nifht 'hours. Then
the poor mother on trial told of how
her sons for the first five years had
hastened home after the day's work,
but later they tired of all work and
BO play, and then began the late
hours which in a ahort time brought
tron?lo to mother and sons; a trou
ble the poor mother waa powerless
to help. Her helpfulness had com
menced at their birth. By nature she
was their mother, but poverty and
overwork had taken away all her
privileges and deprived her sons ot a
mother's training which brought suf
fering alike to all, and no doubt made
a home ot pessimists, while the ac
cusers were good, jolly optimist, had
seen the world in a favorable light
and found lt a good place to live in.
Yea, while we rejoice with the opti
mist and congratulate him on his
beautiful viewa of the world, would lt
not be, wise and Just: to sympathize
with the pessimist who has found life
only s ir??nwMJ???? ?->iFCwiu?va?C^s
and conditions have *\s. m?ch to do in
rnaMng an optimist ftf>a pessimist as
youth and old age change us from
one to the other. A pauper is bound
to be a pessimist and the man or wo
man who baa already passed middle
age and must feel and. know that all
the best of life Hes ta the buried past
can no longer feel, that they Jiave^a
part In the Joys that- Burruu?i tuw.
Years of feilurea and disappoint
ments take Ute light and the glad
ness out of our hearts,, and we want
to be young agata, want to feel as we
did in youth, when we were sp happy
with the little things in Ute, happy
because life waa before bs and ta our
ignorance we knew nothing of UB

If you must have your meat every

with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralys?e the:
kidneys in their eflort to expel lt from |

weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,

bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full ot sediment,
the channels often get sore, and Irri
tated, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during t.^ night.
To neutralise these Irritating acids,
to olease the kidneys and flush off the

of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here
and take a teaspoonful lu a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will thea act (Ino.

Beavers Under Fire
From Atlanta Papers
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.-Chief of Po
lice Beavers and leaders of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement are
1 criticising, newspaper correspondents
1 in Atlanta for sending out stories
1 reflecting upon the efficiency of the
police department and deploring tho
1 increase during recent months of va
: rious kinds of crime bi Atlanta.
1 It la a fact that a great many such
' stories have been sent out by various
1 correspondents tn Atlanta, and have
been published, sometimes with sea

ing c.-.i'ed to the fact, tost these
stories reflect a general condition
. which has been noticed In a news
and editorial way by the Atlanta daily
papers before correspondents ever
i?ch it up, and that the charges.cf
Inefficiency made against, bis depart
ment are legitimate news in that they
have been made over and over again
by Atienta citizens in the communi
ty.
The. storiesvsent over the stats that
the charge had beeb made in Atlanta
that the close of the aegrated vice
district simply scattered vice all over
the city did as much harm as good,
were seat only after that identical
view of the situation bad been widely
expressed in Atienta.
The Men and Religion leaders
themselves are under fire for sland
ering the good name of Atlanta, and
chief of police and his department are
being criticised' openly in . Atlanta
papers aa beug unable to cope with
the increased number ot crimes that
has come with th'? growth of the city.

Claude I. Dawson, satire of Ander

Spain, has seat the following to Dally
Consular ?nd Trade Reports, Wash
ington: .
Three yeera ago it waa estimated
that some 14,000,000 boxes were util
ized annually in the Valencia district
for the exportation of its crops of
fruits and vegetables, including or
anges, mandarins, onions, retains, al
monds, lemons, melons and tomatoes.
The present consumption to probably
the same, more or less, taking into
1 account the variation ia the site of
these ?rope fro? year to year and
the demands of foreign marketa for
Valencia producta.
"Prior to 1910 practically the en.
