SEVEN YEARS ^
p OF MISERY
How Mrs. Bethune was Restored
to Health by Lydia
EL Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
Sikeeton, Mo. ? "For seven yean I
offered everything. I was in bed for
four oi* five days at a
IjNjQRQ and so weak I eould
F iSfl headache, and
Msll ? flip was so nervous and
^S?M weak liiat I dreaded
to see anyone or
hare anyone move in
the room. The doctors
{five me medicine
to ease me at
those times, and said that I ought to
i have an operation. I won d not listen to
F that, and when a friend of my husband's
^ told him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and what it had done
for his wife, I was willing to take it.
Now I look the picture of health and feel
like it, too. I can do all m y own housework,
work in the garden and entertain
company and enjoy them, and can walk
as far as any ordinary woman, any day
in the week. I wish I could talk to every
L suffering woman and girl, and tell them '
jr what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
| Compound has done for me."?Mrs.
Dema Bethune, Sikeston, Mo.
Remember, the remedy which did this
was Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
It has helped thousands of women who
have been troubled with displacements,
inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, that
bearing down feeling, indigestion, and
nervous prostration, after sll other means
have failed. Why don't you try it?
Family of 45 Poisoned
On Fourtlii of July.
A dispatch from Augusta, Ga., on
Wednesday says: It has just developed
that forty-five people, all members
of the Canady family, near Gar

reunion at the home of Mac Canady,
on the Fourth of July. Indications
wer$ that poison was put in several
articles used in the dinner, since every
member of the family at the table
was a victim, and all of them did not
eat of any one particular kind of
food.
m Last Saturday, Tillman Canady, one
of the brothers, died. Yesterday Mrs.
Faireloth, daughter of Mac Canady,
, and one of her children, died. Thirteen
members of his family are seriously
ill at the home of Mac Canady.
Ben Canady is in a critical condition,
and ey^y member of his family is
' sick.
Appeal ha9 been made to the City
hospital in Augusta for assistance, the
appeal stating that tweq ty-five members
of the Canady family are in a
critical condition. Foar trained nurses,
all the hospital could spare, were
rushed to Summerton, and will be taken
through the country to the Canady
home.
A long distance telephone message
from Garfield tonight suys the total
number poisoned is forty-five, of
-nrhnm thft dead to date are: H. Till
man Canady, Henry Covena, of Wesley,
Ga; Mrs. Faircloth, a daughter of
Mac" Canady, and her child. Seven
others can't recover, according to the
physicians' statements.^
The poisoning resulted from mixing
a seasoning containing black pepper
and vinegar in a zinc tub and used on
barbecued meat.
The Canady family and connections
are well-to-do people of Emanuel county.
Mystery Deeper.
Summertown, Ga., July 11.?Deeper
mystery than ever surrounds the poi
soning of 54 members of the Canady
family. Eleven doctors are engaged
in the case, and among them there is

fcwas found a zinc tub wa? used in preW
paring the food, as a result of which
they have asked permission to have a
stomach analysis of one of the victims.
This, however, has not been given yet.
The county commissioners have taken
direction of the situation and will
probably order such an investigation
7 in a few days.

After all, it is better to boast of what I
you U9ed to do than to brag about
what you are going to do. ^
The enemies a man makes by taking
a decided stand often haye more respect
for him than, the friends he
makes by being on the fence.

sweetest girl graduates to be the ones

The greatest genius in the world is
that of the woman who knows how to
tuck away her weight when it's too
much.
If yon are a housewife you cannot
reasonably hope to be healthy or beautiful
by washing disbes, sweeping and
doing housework all day, and crawling
into bed dead tired at night. You
must get out into the open air and sunlight.
If you do this every day and
keep your stomach and bowels in good
order by takiug chamberlain's Tablets
when needed, yon shonld become both
healthy and beautiful. For sale by all 1

How big a $5.00 bill look9 to a man
depends on whether he is borrowing it

The reason it takes a woman so long !

The more a man talks about himself
