MAN THOUGHT DEAD IS FOUND What My Neighbor Says Is of Interest to Clinton Folks. When one has had the misfortune to suffer from backache, headaches, dizzi ness, urninary disorders and other kid ney ills—and has found relief from all this sickness and suffering, that per son’s advice is of untold value to friends and neighbors. The following case is only one of many thousands, but it is that, of a Clinton resident. Who could ask for a better example? Mrs. Joe Chandler, 61 Florida St., says: "The first symptom I had of kidney trouble was bachache. When I swept, sharp pains shot down from the small of my back and fairly droie me wild. I was nervous and had pains in the back of my head and dizzy spells. My kidneys didn’t act right at alj. I used Doan’s Pills and two boxes cured me.” MANY YEARS LATER, Mrs. Chan dler said: "Doan’s Pills cured me of an attack of kidney trouble ahd I haven’t been bothered since.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Chandler had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, Ni Y. Jesse F. York Being Treated In Hospi tal Under Name of Janies Parker. Disappeared in 1919. Greenville, April 13.—Through the medium of finger prints, “James Par ker,” a former service man now re- \ ceiving treatment in a Washington hospital, has been positively identified as Jesse F. York, a South Carolina boy who has been missing since June 26, 1919, when he disappeared from the American army in France. This information was made public this morning by Congressman J. J. McSwain, of the Fourth South Caro lina district upon receipt of a tele gram from the adjutant general of the United States, saying identifica tion of "Parker” had been completed. A telegram was immediately sent to Mrs. Margaret York, at Lyman, Spar tanburg county, informing her that her son had been found after being missing for nearly .six years. The search for York or "Parker” as the man in the Washington hospi tal is now known, has been going on since the latter part of 1920. Con gressman McSwain has aided in every way, exhausting every possible clue in the effort'to locate the missing youth. York, whose family at one time lived at Catceechee, in Pickens coun ty' but later moved to Spartanburg county, was a member of headquarters company of the First division during the World War. His army serial num ber was 203.137. Early in 1919 he became a sufferer from dementia praecox and was being sent to a hos pital when he .escaped on June 26, 1919. Since that tiipe he had been officially missing. The records in the case of York, or “Parker” now show that he was shortly afterwards placed in a hospital in Europe, wearing a French uniform at the time he was located. He was brought back to the United States and on February 16, 1920, was discharged from the mili tary service being placed in a hospital at Washington. Having apparently forgotten his own name, York gave the name of “James Parker,” and was known as such on the records at the time he was discharged and admitted to the hospital. During the greater part of six years, nothing has been heard from York and he had been given up for dead, except for the spark of hope which springs eternal jn the breast of humans. Several weeks ago a representative of the American Legion nyide appli cation for compensation for "James Parker,” and at that time it was a decided similarity between the records of such a man and the missing’Jesse F. York. Apparently York remember ed the battles in which he participat ed and other information but not his real name. • - Belief that "Parker” was Jesse F. York, of this state, came to the sur face at that time, but it was not until the finger prints, with which every former service man is fsmiliar, were employed, that all doubt 'was banishr ed. Because of his condition, it is thought unlikely that York will bo brought to his home, although mem bers of his family, upon having been informed their son has been located, may make a trip to see him. ****<»<»***************<»<M>* + i THE JUDGE’S JOSH j * ♦ + ♦* + + + + <! •»♦ *** + * + <»*** + ***+« The New Idea Freddie: “I am going to take Mae riding in my airplane tonight.” Johnnie: “B’jove—what an idea.
