The Birth of the Opal. The Sunbeam loved the. Moonbeam, And followed her low and high, But the Moonbeam fled and hid her head? She was so shy?so shy. The Sunbeam wooed with passion; Ah! he was a lover bold; And his heart was afire with mad desire For the Moonbeam pale and cold. * She fled like a dream before him. Her hair was a shining sheen; And oh! that fate would annihilate The space that lay between. Just as the day lay panting In arms of the twilight dim, The Sunbeam caught the one he j sought And drew her close to him. But out of his warm arms started And stirred by love's first shock She sprang afraid like a trembling maid And hid in the niche of a rock. And the Sunbeam followed and found hor And led her to love's own feast, And they were wed on that rocky bed, And *he dying day was their priest. And lo! the beautiful Opal? That tare and wondrous gem? Where the Moon and the Sun blend into one, Is the child that was born to them. Notice of Dissolution.

Dr. Frederic Jacobson Says, 75% of Women Need Phosphates to Give Them Strong, Healthy, Rounded Figure and to Avoid Nervous Break Down. Thousands of Women Grow Strong in Nature's Way. 'Consider the Lilies of the Field, How They Grow." The life of the lily is but a few weeks or months. The life of man is "three score years and ten." But to live one's life in its fullness, women line tne my, must be nourished by those same rival elements which nature provides for nourishing every living thing; and these include the valuable phosphate so often lacking in the usual food we eat today. ArgoPhosphate it rich in these wonderful elements. It contains them in concentrated tablet form which is easy to take and quickly assimulated and absorbed into the system, and from youth to old ago, builds and rebuids body and brain in beautiful harmony with Nature's perfect plan. "That's why" Argo-Phosphate makes good solid flesh and muscles. SPECIAL NOTICE: Argo-Phosphate contains the Natural phosphates which thousands of. physicians are prescribing daily to build up thin, pale, ^ colorless women to give them rosy cheeks, red lips, and a beautiful complexion. Many cases have been reported where women have increased their weight from 15 to 25 pound' with a few weeks' treatment, and any woman who desires a well rounded and developed form, should secure from her druggist, this new drug which is Inexpensive and is dispensed ' by any reliable druggist with or without a doctor's prescription. If your druggist will not supply you, send $1.00 to the Argo Laboratories, 10 Forsyth St, Atlanta, Ga., and they will send you a two weeks' treatment by return mail.

GIVE CHILD "SYRUP OF FIGS" IF TONGUE IS COATED If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bil'ous, Clean Little Liver and Bowels. Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is, they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick .feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bilr and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well, playful child again. Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. Ask your druggist for a bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Reware of counterfeits sold here. Get the genuine, made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt. Eton Has Many Boys of Nobility in Student Body (By Associated Press) !

A SAFE TEST. For those who are in need of a remedy for kidney troubles and backache, it is a good plan tto try Doan's Kidney Pills. They are strongly recommended by Union people. Mrs. I). E. Reeves, 21 N. Pinckney St., Union, says: "I had weak kidneys and when I was sweeping, sharp twinges darted through the small of my back, so I could hardly finish my work. I felt nervous and irritable and my kidneys acted too freelv. Mv head was often in a whirl, so that 1 almost fell. After I had suffered about three months, I read of Doan's Kidney Pills and pot a box from the Palmetto Drug Co. I felt relief from the first and by the time I had used one box all signs of kidney trouble i had left. Since then, when I have noticed a slight attack, due to a cold Doan's Kidney Pills have fixed me up in good shape." Price 60c at all dealers.
