BILIOUSNESS
When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom
ach instead of digesting. This in
names the stomach and causes nausea
vomiting ind a terrible headache
Take Chamberlain's Tablets. They
will tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as well
as ever. Sold everywhere, 25c.
Mrs. Emily E. Patchin, Charlotte,
N. Y., writes: “If there was ever a
person who appreciated the value of
Chamberlain’s Tablets it is I, for this
remedy cured me of a serious bilious
attack. I tried numerous remedies
but nothing relieved me until I began
taking Chamberlain's Tablets. By us
ing five or six bottles of them I was
restored to perfect health. “ Chamber
lain s Tablets sold everywhere. 25c.
$2,225,000 FOUND IN
UNDELIVERABLE MAIL
Most of This Enormous Sum
Was Returned to Owners
Through Government
More than two and a quar
ter million dollars worth of
checks, drafts, money orders
and other valuable papers were
found in undeliverable letters
by the dead letter office dur
ing the last year, and virtually
all were restored to their own
ers according to the report of
Assistant Postmaster General
Daniel C. Roper, who announ
ces that the dead letter divi
sion handled 10,839,890 letters
and parcels during the year, a
slight increase over the pre
vious year. One-third of these
letters and parcels, or 3,677,
194, was delivered; 101,485
contained things of value with
out clue to their senders, and
were held for claimants; 701,
436 had to be destroyed, and
41,775 were still being investi
gated.
In addition to the valuable
papers, with a face value of
$2,303,119, found in undeliver
able letters, many contained
stamps, and some currency was
found loose in the mails. The
stamps and currency unclaim
ed, together with proceeds
from the sale of articles of mer
chandise removed from unde
liverable letters, aggregated
$53,665, and $11,000 was re
alized from six months’ oper
ation requiring collection of
one cent on advertised letters,
making the total net revenue
$64,665. Mr. Roper says that
the revenue estimated under
present conditions for a year
would be approximately $75,
000, which could make the
dead letter division self-sus
taining.

THE DESIRE OF
MY LIFE
JAKE H. HARRISON
When all my sands of life are spent,
The glass has done its duty,
And earth and sea and air have lent
Their pleasure, pain and beauty;
May I go hence without regret
To join the great procession.
Whose course is always westward set,
And never knows regression.
But while I move along the way
That all the world is going,
I hope to learn each pavssing day
The things to me worth knowing;
And I shall do my little part
Without a thought of shirking,
And with a cheerful, honest heart
Be always up and working.
Be always ready, day or night,
To answer to the calling
Of Justice, Equity and Right,
To aid the weak and falling;
To help a brother with his load
When he in truth is failing,
And all along life’s rugged road
Do Friendship’s kindly hailing.
I do not want the hand of Fame
To set the bells to ringing,
Or human tongues to laud my name
Or praise me with their singing;
I simply want to do my share
As it was first intended,
To serve this life with patient care,
And quit when it is ended.

AVOID MISTAKES
No Need For Newark People
to Experiment With Such
Convincing Evidence
AT Hand
There are many well-adver
tised kidney remedies on the
market today,but none so well
recomended in this vicinity as
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read the
statement of a resident of New
port.
J. A. Baird, 214 Main St.,
Newport, Ark., says: “Some
times my back was in such bad
shape that I could hardly
straighten up after stooping. I
had dizzy spells and headaches
and suffered from rheumtic
pains in my limbs. Doan’s Kid
ney Pills relieved me wonder
fully. During the past year, I
haven’t noticed any backache
or other symptoms of kidney
trouble.”
Price 50c, at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pill—the same that Mr. Baird
had. Foster-Milburn,Co..Props.
