Lady in Goodwater Describes Her
Distressing Experience and
Tells How She Was
Finally Relieved.
Goodwater Mo.—'"Ever since I was
a little girl" says Mrs. Riley Laramore
"I was a great sufferer from dyspepsia.
1 suffered misery after eating and had
terrible heartburn.
I thought 1 had to suffer this way as
long as 1 lived but when I began to take
Thedford's Black-Draught in small
doses every night the heartburn was all
gone in a few days and 1 could eat
without distress.
1 took two small packages in all and
although that was some time ago the
dyspepsia has not returned.
I speak a good word for Thedford's
Black-Draught whenever I have the op-
portunity."
If eating causes distress we urge you
to try Thedford's Black-Draught. It
cleanses the system helps the stomach to
digestifs food regulates the bowels and
stimulates the liver.
It ads gently and is without bad after-
effects. Try it. Price 25c.

MISSIONARY WORKERS
PLAN FOR YEAR'S WORK.
A Membership Campaign Is to Be
Made During Next Week.
The members of the missionary
committee of the Methodist church
discussed plans for the year's work
at an oyster supper served in Bed-
ford's Cafe Monday night at 8
o'clock. Only four or five of the
twenty-one members were absent.
Rev. J. A. Whitehurst pastor of the
church and Presiding Elder Arm-
strong were In attendance. One ena
of the dining room at the Cafe was
curtained uff for the event. N. J.
Thomas chairman of the committee I
acted as master of ceremonies. Af-
ter the supper had been served short
talks were made by W. P. Hancock
Hon. J. M. Alderdice and E. J. An-
derson. Pastor Whitehurst and Dr.
Armstrong gave the committee
some valuable information relative
to the work in hand. A demonstra-
tion intended to be of aid to the
committeemen when making their
campaign of the city next week was
given by Charlie Ray and E. A. Div-
ings.
At previous meetings of this com-
mittee it was decided to abandon
the old pian of collecting the mis-
sionary assessments once a year and
to adopt the Duplex card system j
which is based on weekly contribu-
tions. The committee believes this
to be a better plan and will give
members of the church an opportun-
ity to make small contributions all
along through the year and relieve
them of a strain at the end of the
conference. It is the purpose of the
committee to call upon every mem-
ber of the church next week and
place with them a package of en-
velopes and one of these may be
used every Sunday. Accompanying
the envelopes is a pledge card which
is signed by the person deBiring to
give weekly or monthly and wi'l
show the total amount to be paid for
the year. It is believed this system
will appeal especially to the chil-
dren as it will give them an oppor-
tunity to contribute their pennies
and nickels to the cause of missions.
The committee has decided to
make next Sunday missionary day
at the church. At 11 o'clock a mis-
sionary sermon will be delivered b>
the pastor Rev. J. A. Whitehurst.
At night the committee will have
charge of the services and on this
occasion the new system will be ful-
ly explained. The speakers will in-
clude Mr. Hancock Mr. Alderdiee
arid Mr. Anderson.

j cure for bed wetting. "My little
boy wet the bed every night cieai
I thro' on the floor. I tried several
kinds of kidney medicine and I was
in the drug store looking for some-
thing different to help him I heard
of Foley's Kidney Pills. After he
had taken them two days we could
see a change and when he had taken
two-thirds of a bottle he was cured.
That is about six weeks ago and he

A Simple Remedy Brings Back
the Natural Color—Dandruff
Quickly Removed
How of ton one hoars the expression.
"She is gray and beginning to look oM."
It is true that gray hair usually denotes
age and is always associated with age.
You never hear one referred to as hav-
ing gray hair and looking young.
The hair is generally the index of age.
If your hair is gray you can't blame
your friends for referring to you as look-
ing old. You can't retain a youthful
appearance if you allow your hair to
grow gray. Many persons of middle
age jeopardize their future simply by
allowing the gray hair to become maui
fest. If vour hair has become faded or
gray try Wyeth's Sapre and Sulphur
Hair Remedy a preparation whieh a
chemist by the name of Wyeth devised
a few years ago. It is simple inex-
pensive and practical and will banish
the gray hairs in a few days. it. is also
guaranteed to remove dandruff arid pro-
mote the growth of the hair.
It is a pleasant dressing for the hair
and after using it a few days itching and
dryness of the scalp entirely disappear.
Don't neglect your hair. Stmt using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur to-day anl
you will be sur'pri:-ed at the quick
results.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
recommended and sold ly drug'J
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
WOULD BE I! FAILURE
Clarence H. Mack«y Hays Taking
Over Telegraph Lines by Gov-
ernment Would lie Im-
practicable.
Special to the Light.
New York Jan. 16.—Clarence H. j
Mackay being asked in regard to j
the proposition of Postmaster Gen-
eral Hitcliock that the government
take over all the telegraph lines
said:
"This would lead to taking over
the telephone linos also. The British
government found th's to he so and
two weeks ago it took ov • r the tele-
phone lines in "England at an enor-
mous expense. The telegraph and
telephone lines in this coutry art
worth from $2000000000 to $3
000000000. This would include tl)€
indpendent telephone companies
'owning nearly $500000000 of
property and having some 40000
stockholders. I venture to say they
would be operated by the govern-
ment at great annual loss as in
Great Britain while the losses :>n
the telegraphs alone up to date arc-
figured at $175000000. Moreover i
the government would then be em- i
ployinf hundreds of thousands ot
clerks telephone girls telegraph
operators managers etc.
"it would be a collossal pontics
machine. I have cause for saying the
taking over of the telegraph linos
would mean also the taking over oi
the telephones.
"There is another thing. When
governments buy large properties
they generally pay exorbitant prices
just as when a city buys iand for a
park. The English government paid |
out enormous amounts for the tele- j
graph lines and then found to its j
surprise thr.t it had to settle with j
railroads with which the telegraph ]
companies had contracts. I happen |
to know that this disturbed the gov- j
ernment very much but the govern- I
ment was in for it and had to carfv j
it through always at the expense ri j
the taxpayers. The Western Union
has thousands of contracts with rail-
roads in this country and if the
government should take ov^r the>
telegraph it would have to settle
for all these. On a whole I guess Ihe
American government will not buy
the telegraph lines so long as the
Mackay keeps in competition. The
Mackay lines are not for sale."
RKCORD OF A VKAR
IN VITAL STATISTICS.
Marriage Licenses Isseud Show Fall-
ing Off from Previous Year.
That the drouth or some other
agency affected the matrimonial
market during the year 1911 is In-
dicated by the records in the county
clerk's office. From December 1
1910 to December 1 1911 there-
was a decrease of fifty-seven as
compared to the licenses issued for
the period from December 1 1909
to Dec. 1 1910. During the first
period the number of couples vhu
procured licenses was 607 as com-
pared with 550 for the year ending
December 1. 1911.
For the same two periods thete
was a gain in the births and deaths
as reported to the county clerk by
the physicians of the county. From
December 1 1909 to December 1
1910 there were 488 births and 162
deaths. For the year ending Decent- j
ber 1 1911 there were 537 births
and 187 deaths.
The divorce records In the district
clerk's office show that for the
year from December 1 19 09. \o
December 1 1910 eighty-one suits
for divorce were filed and fifty-one
decrees granted. The next year from
December 1 1910 to December 1
1911 shows a gain in both the
number of suits filed and ttw
number of decrees granted. The
suits for the annullment of the mari-
tal vows for this year numbered
111 while the court granted 70 de-
crees of divorce.
