moves the body’s urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In twenty-four hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily under-
stand tne vital Importance of keeping
the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water—you can’t drink
loo much: also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tahlespoonful in a glass of wa-
ter before breakfast each morning for
a Jew days and your kidneys will act
fine. This famous sarts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon Juice
combined with lithla, and has been
used for generations to clean and stim-
ulate clogged kidneys; also to neutral-
ize the acids in urine so R no longer

bladder weakness.

FORT WORTH—Farmers between
here and Dallas and other towns have
complained to aviation field officials
here that the flights of airmen are de-
laying the work of food production.
Farm hands stop to gaze at the planes
and1 are so distracted from their wo’k
that little is accorfiplished, they claim.
They gaze upward intently .at the
planes as long as they are in sight and
continue looking upward after the ma-
chines are no longer visible, the farm-
ers declare. Their efforts to prevent
this habit on lhe par; of lhe farmhands
have .been fruitless, and they have sug-
e-eijted to the aviation officials that the
flygrs be allowed to sail only over cit-
ies, during farm, working hours.
"The free air show is too much fur
them,’’ one farmer said.

- A DENTON INQUIRY
Answered By the Statement of a
Den I on Resident.
When first the long series of reports
of pentoh people who have been re-
lieved by Doan’s Kidney Pills were
published in the local press, great en-
thusiasm and interest were aroused.
But Denton is now inquiring “How are
these; people keeping today? How has
the benefit they received withstood the
test bf lime?" For that, after all, is
the essential test of a cure. On this
point doubt can no longer exist, for
after many years those who have been
cured, emphatically declare their cures
to be lasting.
R. R. Turner, farmer, Denton, says;
“Sometimes when stooping or lifting,
a shart pain caught me right in the
small of my back. I tried several
medicines, but without effect and was
finally advised to use Doan’s Kidney
Pills.’ I got some from J. F. Raley 4
Co.’s Drug Store and after finishing
two boxes, the pain left my back and
I felt like a different man. I have re-
commended Doan’s Kidney Pills to sev-
eral people whom I know have used
them with good effect.”
Over ten years later, Mr. Turner said:
“Since being cured by Doan's Kidney
Pills, I have had no occasion to use any
more medicine for my kidneys.”

ask for a kidney remedy—get Efoan’s

additoin he brought his 17-year-old son

Cholera Morbus
This a very painful and dangerous
sease. In almost every neighbor-
hood someone has died from il be-,
fore medicine could be obtained or a
phvsician summoned. The right way
is ‘fro have a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy In the
house so as to be prepared for it. Mrs.
Charles Enyeart, Huntington. Ind.,
writes: “During tha» summer of 19ft
two of my children were taken sick
with cholera morbus. I used Cham-
berlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy
. land it gave them immediate relief.

A i port of the year's w ork of the
Parent-Teacbers' Association and of the
activities of lhe pupils of lhe North
Ward setrooi shows that some unusual
ly good work wft aocomplislied dur-
ing the term of school recently dosed.
The Parent-Teachers' Association book
up three main activities during the
year—improvement of the playground,
encouragement- of the children's pur-
chase of thrift stamps and Liberty
bonds, and directing the Junior Red
Cross. In these activities the tlub
achieved signal success and won for
the school the reputafron of being one
hundred per cent patriotic tn every
move for the interest of the govern-
ment.
During the year, Hie mothers’ club
spent 873.75 on the playground, pro-
viding two basket-ball courts with of-
ficial goals and an 'official ball, a volley
ball and two tennis courts, and filled
in the school yard.
To the Senior Red Cross, the school
one week donated 815 and during the
Christmas drive one hundred dollar
memberships were secured, making a
total of 8115 to the Senior Red Cross.
Every pupil in the school joined the
Junior Red Gross and a total of 853.50
was realized from the membership
fees. Material fro the value of |6 was
donated and boxes of used clothing
sent fro the Belgians were valued at
*125 making a total value of 8184 for
the Junior Red Cross wqyk.
The Red Cross work room was a
busy place during the whole time after
il was equipt and much work was
turned out by the pupils and their
articles made In the room were the
nwtliers who helped in the work. The
following: women's dresses 9; wooleq

! witness heard more shots fired. W1U
nesa did not hew any I airing before
the shooting.
’ Witness went back to body of dead
man w'ith the sheriff and saw sheriff
pull right hand out of dead man's
pocket The hand was gripping a me-
dium sized pocket knife. The knife was
> not open.
Witness went to the Knox bank
wiif-re defendant came later from Sew-,j
ell’s hardware store and asked for Dr..
Knox. Witness noticed only on* pis-
tol in defendant’s hand at the time.
Before the shooting, witness said he
was sitting on a box under the general
delivery window and talking to E. L.
Worley, Homer Sprouse, Ed Sewell aa-l
several lit tip girls were in the postof-
fice at the time, but none remained ip
the office after the shooting until lie
sheriff came, he said. He did not know-
whether lhe postoffice employes were
in the buldtng as the blind was down
to Jhe delivery-window.
Witness had seen Myers in front of
Collier’s drug store at 9-JO in the morn-
ing. in his shirt-sleeves, dressed Hie
same as at the time of the killing. The
dead man was 42 or 43 years old, single
and lived with his parents lb Krum,
witness said, and he had no regular
business but worked at times. He was
afflicted with “fils". The defendant . Is
a farmer and lives eight mil’s away
from Krum, witness said.
Third Witness Testifies
The third and last witness to testify
in the morning was Homer Sprouse,
who testified that Story killed MyeTs
with a r45 calibre pistol. Witness did
not see Myers before the shooting bin,
was standing against a desk at the
east end of the posloffiee, facing the
wall and reading a paper. Story came
in and stood at lhe north end of the
desk and asked where witn*ss' father
was. Witness did not see Story get his
pistols and when first shot was fired
he looked acound and saw Story shoot-
ing. Myers had fallen to the floor.
There was an intermission in the
shooting between the firstj£hd! second
shots and after the thirdTiL seemed
to witness Story emptied his gun. Wit-
ness ran outside when shots were fir-
ed and saw Story come out and go
back into the building when more shots
were heard. Story came out of leiild-
ing with a pistol in each hand and
said to crowd that gathered: ’.If my
of von- fellows don't want to get hurt,
keep out of my way.” Defendant seem-
. d excited, he said.
After the shooting, defendant weni
to Sewell’s hardware store and. from
there to the Knox bank, after which,
he got in his car in which witness un-
derstood he was going to Denton to
surrender Io officers.
At this point, the hearing
jonrned until 1:30 o’clock in
ternoon when it was resumed.
Afternoon Hearing
L. J. Ammons of Krum was the first
j witness called in the afternoon and he
testified to seeing the shooting. He said
he was just entering the postoffice
with one foot on the porch when the
first siiot was fired. He looked thru
the glass and saw Otis Myers falling.
51 vers was facing south and Story east.
Witness heard two shots and ran back
a distance of 20 feet to the telephone
office. While at the office he saw
Story come nearly to the door and then
go back, stooping over and discharging
his gun into Myers’ body. Mybrs was
on the floot on lhe flat of his back.
Witness did not hoar Story say any-
thing. X-
On cross-examination witness said
lie did not see the first shooting and
did not see what the parties were do-
ing before the shooting. He said lie
had seen Myers early in lhe morning,
but did not hear him say anything
about Story. 'Witness had never heard
of anv difficulty between the two men
except a fight several years ago. He did
not see the fight but saw Story afte-
wa-ds with bis clothinc cut across the
back and the sleeve with a knife. Wit-
ness said he had heard a great many
people say Myers was dangerous and
that he told Story about it a month or
so ago. Story told witness he did not
want any trouble with Myers and was
Staving out of his vyay as much as he
could. He told witnesses he regarded
Myers as dangerous.
Tells of Myers’ Threats
W. F. Clevenger, rural mail carrier
out of Krum, was caii*<? and told of
threats, he said Myers had made. He
said he was riding with Myers between
Krum and Fort Worth and that Mye ’s
remarked: ‘I am afraid I’ll have to gel
that fellow (Story) some day.” “Myers
was drunk at the lime and I didn t pay
much attention to it.” Mr. Clevenger
said, “and I don’t think 1 told Story
about it.” . -
Mr Clevenger was in the postoffice
al the time of the shooting and told of
hnw he saw. He said he was behind
the V shaped cabinet dividing the lob-
by from the work room when he heard
the shots. He ran to the daor in the
cabinet and look thru. He saw Myers
lying on the floor with his feet almost
touching the cabinet under his open
box which was at the northeast end of
the V. His head was extended north.
«tory was in the front, outside door
but ‘turned and came back, taking a
pistol from his pocket and in a stoop-
ing posture shot into Myer’s body, emp-
tying bis gun. Witness said he did not
hear any talking before the shooting
and before he got to the cabinet door
he heard thre shots fired and thought
he heard the gun click two or three
times. • „

Pupils at the R. E. Lee School v\>re
active in the Junior Red Q'oss work
during the yeaE and the work met with
an enthusiastic response from all
pupi's. Of course, most of the work
in the Red Cross n.-nm was done by
the girls but the boys were none less
eager to work. The hoys clamored
for something to do but when it was
suggested that they team to knit, they
rebelled and said they wanted someth-
ing not ffo “sissy'’ to do.
The Lee School chose to make gar-
ments for the Belgian children of four
years of age and comptetted tfic fol-
lowing articles for them: 26 dresses; 27
petticoats; 10 pinafores; 15 hose; 16
undershirts. In addition there made
8,262 gun wipes: 150 wash rags; 34
property bags and a large number of
sputum cloths, and trench candles.
Most of the work was done at the
school by the children altho some of
the more difficult work was done with
the he'p -of the mothers.
The membership in the Junior Hed
Cress of the school totaled 238.
