I Mrs Moses Dillard of Andalusia, Route 2, writes as follows: "I had suffered a long time with indigestion and stomach trouble when I noticed your advertisements of Sulferro-Sol, and about the same , time, heard others recommend it, * ' t J 1 I SO I DOUgni a OOlue anu uegau uxa.ing it. "My indigestion improved from the start, and now after using one 50-cent bottle I eat anything I want, and that is a plenty,for it stimulates the appetite. I had a very had case of indigestion. Nothing I ate agreed with me, and I lost weight until I weighed only!l30 pounds. I , now weigh 1(50 pounds. ' "Sulferro-Sol is the best remedy in the world for Indigestion and stomach trouble. I can't recom- , mend it too highly to those suffer- ( ing with these afflictions." A healthy stomach is the best insurance against most of the ills and ailments that man is heir to. The body in its normal condition is germ , resistant. The blood through its j millions of white corpuscles resist the advance of germs, and prevent ( ?Akimmn/v o I OS iar its pjSMUie Uitrn uuuiimug U|( foothold in the body. The blood is dependent on the stomach for sua- ( tenanee. Therefore, if the food is , not being thoroughly assimilated, thin, weak, blood is the inevitable ( result. The body, when this con- j dition is reached, is easily attacked by the germs of various diseases, and due to its weakened condition, the results are more liable to be < serious. Therefore, if yoj would be ' healthy, keep the stomach healthy. Sulferro-Sol, the wonderful mineral solution, contains several forms of iron, and is a powerful strength builder. It invigorates the stomach and assists in the thorough assimila- : tion of the food. This strengthens the blood and increases its germ resistant powers. Sulferro-Sol is sold and recommended by all druggists at Kingstree, S C, and vicinity. Piles Cured in 6 to 14 Days dmircriti t?ill refund monev if PAZO OINTMENT fails to core any case of Ifchlns.

We had some cool weather during the past week. There was considerable frost Friday morning,but from what we can gather, it did no harm, except to swamp maples. Harmony Presbytery met at Union Church on Tuesday, April 3, in its spring session. The weather was fine, and the meeting was largely attended,all ministers being present except two, one of whom is on his way to China as a missionary, and the other in Virginia. All of the churches were represented except four. The meer ing was epjoyed by every one, and we hope to have the presbytery meet with us again before very long.

"BLEEDING TO "DEATH." "We Had About Given Up Hope," Says Father, Expressing Fnr AlrL '*1 believe Tanlac just saved my daughter's life.forshe was in an awful condition when she began taking it and the doctors had saidthev had tried their last remedy," was the highly interesting statement made by Mr ?) T Furguson, of Anderson, in the endorsement he gave Tanlac on February 2*. "My daughter >uf fered from a very bad case of some trouble resembling bloody diarrhea. She bled continually for live months despite all we could do,and she suffered agony, too. She was just bleeding to death, that is the only way I can describe it.and the loss of blood had sapped her strength until I had to lift her in and out of bed. "We had doctors attending her and they did all they could,and fin-' ally they said they had tried their last remedy, and I could not say that she was any better than when the}' started treating her We had about given up hope and I had begun to fear that my only child would never get well. '' My mother-in-law had been urging ine to try Tanlac for my daughter, and at last I bought a bottle, as the doctors had said they had done all they could When the bottle had been taken she was in pretty good condition generally and wonderfully improved. She gained a lot of strength, too. "My daughter's trouble was the most awful thing I ever heard of, and the way Tanlac helped her was one of the most wonderful things I ever saw or heard of. My daughter was put on the road back to strength and improved health by Tanlac,and she soon was able to be up and do ing light work around the house. She is in good health,and it is all due , to the good Tanlac did her."

That the resources of the 322 State banks in South Carolina increased by more than $11,000,000 from March, 1916, to March, 1917, and that deposits increased more than $12,000,000 io. the same period are encouraging and significant < facts, but more encouraging is the increase in savings deposits, from $22,700,000 to $30,000,000. The number of depositors as shown by the report of the State banking department is now 109,000 and the average deposit is $206. These figures have reference only to the State banks. i There can be no more certain sign of prosperity and the thrift that produces it than the spread of the savings account habit?and it is spreading more rapidly in South < Carolina now than ever before. ?

If a tadpole cannot get to the top of the water when it is at the time of life when it is breathing by means of its gills, like a fish, it will not become a frog. It will then always be a tadpole. Keep a tadpole in cold water and in the dark or away from the light and it will be years getting to be a frog. Left to the course of nature, the tadpole becomes-a frog in from six to eight weeks, although it will have been two years arriving at that chance to change into the mature frog. The tadpole's mouth is so tiny that it would be difficult to insert a pinhead into it. yet it has horny jaws and a sharp, biting be^k, with three rows of teeth on the upper jaw. A hood grows down and incloses the gills on the right side, leaving them open like a spout on the left side. At this stage cf its transformation the tadpole breathes like a fish, taking water through the gills into the mouth and spouting it out on the left side. Its tail is what the tadpole feeds on by absorption of the white corpuscles of the blood during the molting and mouthing epoch in its life, when it i3 fasting. When it is ready to eat again the tail and the homy beak are gone, the wide mouth of the mature frog having taken the place of the latter. There are forty species of frogs, only one of whch is in South America. Australia has no frogs. Of all those forty species only one is edible?the Rana esculents?and nowhere is this one more plentiful than in AmATinn nlthnmrh flat ami nent naturalist St. George Mivart declared that the edible frog is unknown in America. A frog that is common in France will mew like a cat if its thigh is squeezed and emit the odor of garlic. For this it has to go through life bearing the name of Pelobates fuscus. Most species of frogs will not take anything in the way of food that is not a live, moving thing or something with the semblance of life and will starve to death among a million creatures if none obligee the frog by moving.?Browning's Magazine. The Common People In Spain. Spain is one of the most illiterate countries of the civilized world, yet also one of the best educated, unless education be merely that mass of undigested and commonly mi?applied information absorbed within four walls, says Henry A. Francle in "Four Months Afoot In Spain." Few men bave a more exact knowledge, a more solid footing on the everyday earth, than the peasant, the laborer, the muleteer of Spain. One does not marvel merely at the fluent, powerful, entirely grammatical language of these unlettered fellows, but at the sound basic wisdom that stands forth in their every sentence. * WriUr* Who** Work* Aro Unrtad. With care anc. precision the journal clerks of the senate prepare the daily chronicle of the senate's deings. They are proud of their achievements, and justly so.
