FOR KIDNEY, LIVER AND STOMACH TROUBLE It la tha best medicine ever sold over a druggist's counter. BE THE RIGHT KIND OF A M^^^g "TIGHT WAD" Almost to a unit the people who spend money on themselves with lavish hand, including others only when they are present and can't he dodged, call a person stingy who refuses to do this, saving his money for more noble purpos es. The "good fellow" who rubs his stomach against a bar until there is a Worn streak just above the belt line and orders drinks for' whoever happens to be near, expecting a return of the courtesy, calls the thrifty man who has no part in the performance a "tight-wad." Tl>e town spoil who lets loose of a three-dollar bill every time he feels like a buggy ride taunts with clOBC-ftstedness the young man who has no money for pool or cigars. There seems to be a general inclination on the part of men and women who spends money extravagantly on themselves lo class as stingy those who save their money and spend it on somebody else or to provide against misfor tune to their loved ones. We will come lo a higher and nobler understanding of the great question Of generosity when wo fasten in our minds, with rivets spread at both ends, the following definitions: A stingy man is one who spends money on himself or not at all. A generous man is one who spends money on others. The matter of economy has nothing to do witli either. There is a high and mighty air about the prodigal that is calculated to make a thoughtful man ashamed of Iiis? prudence. And it often does, for many a man With a backbone like a piece of spaghetti is unable to stand the fire of caustic criticism to which he is subjected by male bipeds of the sport class for watching his money carefully. Hut the man who is independent enough to keep from spending a dollar unless he or some one dear to him is going to get a dollar's worth of benefit out of It is the man who will some time be called on every UO days to give the other bis pay check and decide whether he shall ever get another like It. ? * ?

In the fall of 1010 and winter of 1011 there were numerous requests from correspondents for information and assistance relating to the dying of pine In various sections of the south ern states. In compliance with these requests the U. S. Department of Ag riculture, through Its experts and agents In the Bureau of Entomology, has given si" cial attention to the sub ject A thorough study has been made of the character and extent of the trou ble in the South Atlantic and Gulf States during the past six months. Forest Insect Field Station 7 was lo cated at Spartanburg, S. C, early in July to serve as the headquarters of representatives of the Bureau of En tomology, who; from this central point, have been very active In giving practical instructions and demonstra tions on the cause of the dying pine and the remedy. Many thousands of circulars and letters of information have been sent direct to owners of pine in all of the South Atlantic and Gulf States. Addresses have been deliv ered at community, county, state, and inter-state meetings of owners of pine and others Interested in the protection of the forest resources of the South, and the press has given wide publicity to the movement. There is now evi dence of widespread interest in this subject and we are confident that If the information already given to the people is properly Utilized in a con certed effort by the majority of the owners in the affected areas, the pine will stop dying. With a view of securing direct In formation as to the Interest manifest ed by owners of pine In each com munity where trees arc dying, return postal cards are being sent to the owners with questions as follows. The replies to tlies? questions will indi cate to what extent the Department has attained its object of rendering a service to the people and whether or not further assistance is required.

In fact, we make no charge whatever for people with accounts at our bank. The person receiving a draft has no trouble in cash ing it, for the draft represents that the face value has been placed in our bank for its payment.
