AN 80-YEAR-OLD-REBUKE.
Contrast between Conditions Today
and Back in 1835.
While we are bewailing our own
misfortunes growing out of the l"uropean
war, and commiserating ourselves
over the necessary sacrifice of
luxuries to which we have long been
accustomed, it is well enough to be
remindedfnow and then of the cost
and meaning of luxuries at an earlier
period of our national life.
In the possession of Mrs D W
Kirkman of Albany is a bed spread,
made in 1835 and, therefore, nearly
80 years old, which bears eloquent
testimony of our own utter lack of
excuse|for complaint because unexpected
conditions have for the moi.

denials which we do not seem dis-1
posed to accept with good grace. j
The bed spread is of cotton, and
every thread of it is hand-made. It1
is the handiwork of a great-grandmother
of Mrs Kirkman, a resident
of Kentucky. This daughter of the'
Blus Grass State must have been a
very versatile lady, for the family
history of the bed spread which Mrs
KirkmanJ prizes so highly relates
that the maker of the spread planter!

VU vtav- vvbvvii uv v r" "" 1? ,
when it opened, separated the seed
and lint by hand, carded, then spun
the fiber into thread, and finally
wove the cloth on a hand loom. The j
spread has a fringe border, and is
ornamented'with an interesting design,all
of which is hand-made from
materials entirely produced at home.
How much'more an elaborate bed
spread must [have meant in those
days than even the handsomest counterpane
could possibly mean to the'
owner today, ever though the latter
be hand-made, is a matter for interesting
speculation, though but one
f?nnr?lnsinn is nossible.
r
We mention the interesting history
of this 30-year-old bed spread because
some of us need such lessons
just now. We think?or, rather, we
endeavor to give ourselves excuse
for thinking?that we are having
rather a hard time of it, as the war
in Europe rages.
But we are not. In fact,we are so
much more fortunate than our
grand-parents were, or than the
great bulk of the people of the
world are to-day, that we should be
heartily ashamed to complain because
of the slight discomforts we
are temporarily experiencing.?

In Re the Hard Times,
Allow me space in your paper to
say a few words. EveryDoay is
talking about hard times just now.
I got a letter from my brother the
other day asking me how we are
going to pay our guano bills with
the low price" of cotton. I wrote
him to keep his stables cleaned out
and fill them with good old pine
needles. That is the way I have
started in myself. Let the guano
pass on by. We will have to quit
going to'the stores to buy soap and
other things that we can do without
by making them at home. The
othei day a man asked me why
didn't I trade some with him and 1
asked him why couldn't he buy my
potatoes, eggs and butter? Is it
right to take that money that I get
for my produce and trade with a
man who will not buy such as that?
High priced tools and high priced
mules is what hurts the most of us
at the present time. We must stick
to the ones who stick to us.

News Oddities of the War.
The principal food of the native
Indian troops in France is wheat
cakes which the soldiers themselves
bake. They keep the herds of goats
that furnish their milk pastured
constantly near their camps.
To blow up a bridge about to be
crossed by the French, the Germans
called on the twenty-four aviators
near Rheims for a volunteer. It
was a mission of certain death. All
twenty-four wanted to go, so lots
were drawn. The chosen aviator
had blown up the bridge and died
within five minutes.
After the battle of Krasnik a
wounded Hungarian hussar was
found to have a quantity of earth
wrapped carefully in a piece of
|cloth. His mother had given it to
him so if mortally wounded he could
"die on Hungarian soil."
On a wounded German soldier in
Bordeaux was found a letter from
his wife saying: "I hope you will
spare neither women nor children."
The letter was returned to the writer
with this rebuke: "Madame, this!
letter was found in your husband's |
pocket. He is wounded and is being
humanely cared for."
The inventor of the pocket wireless
says he has refused to sell it to
the Kaiser, and will give own Italian

In time of kidney danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of evidence of their worth.
W R White, S Boundary St, Manning,
S C, says: "At one time my
kidneys were so weak that I had but
little control over the kidney secretions.
I suffered constantly from
backache and pains across my loins
and mornings I was so lame and sore
that it was hard for me to dress. If!
1 sat down for a little while, I had
to lift myself by main force. Nothing
ever helped me until I used
Doan's Kidney Pills. They restored
my kidneys to a normal condition
and removed all the symptoms of
the complaint. I can confirm the
statement I gave some year3 ago re- (
garding Doan's Kidney Pills. I use
them occasionally and they always
help me."
