A Texas Legislator
Freed From Cancer
C. K. Walter of Waelder Says Two
Malignant Growths Were Perma-
nently Cured by Dr O. A.
Johnson.
A recent experience has convinced
the Hon. C. K. Walter of Waelder,
former member of the Texas Legisla-
ture, that cancer is curable. After
being freed from two malignant
growths by Dr. 0. A. Johnson, Kan-
sas City cancer specialist, Mr. Wal-
ter writes:
"I have remained silent for sev-
eral months for the reason that I
wanted to be sure I had received
a permaneiijt cure. I now state
without the slightest hesitancy
that, in my opinion, not only have
both of my cancers been perma-
nently healed by you, but that
your very efficient constitutional
treatment has eliminated all the
poisonous matter from my system.
"A little over .three years ago
a small sore appeared on the left
side of my face. I tried the vari-
ous. salves to be found in the drug
stores. Then I resorted to doc-
tors. The first one treated me
with an electric needle, but I re-
ceived no benefit. I doctored a
while at home, after which I spent
three weeks in San Antonio, eight
weeks in Houston and eleven in
Galveston. While being treated in
Galveston, another cancer ap-
peared, on my left ear.
"About that time I concluded to
go to. Dr. Johnson. I did, and in
less than eight weeks both can-
cers were cured. Had I gone to
Dr. Johnson earlier (when I first
received the book, 'Cancer
Truths') I would have saved two
out of the four doctor bills and
doubtless would have received a
cure inside of three weeks. To
every person suffering with a
cancer, I would urge you to lose
no time in going to Dr. Johnson."
Dr. Johnson is one of the foremost
cancer specialists!. He has studield
cancer many years and has treated
thousands of cases successfully with-
out the use of the knife. His book,
"Cancer Truths," explaining his mild,
non-surgical treatment and the vari-
ous forms of cancer, will be sent free,
postpaid, to anyone who writes to him
at his research laboratories. Simply
address Dr. 0. A. Johnson, Suite 560,
1324 Main Street, Kansas City, Mo.

Kidney disorders cause much dis-
tress of mind and body. Such ail-
ments should not be neglected be-
cause they lead to diseases that are
dangerous. Prickly Ash Bitters is a
splendid tonic for men. It strength-
ens the kidneys and purifies the
stomach and bowels. Price $1.25 per
bottle. J. E. Turner, Special Agent.
Aching in the small of the back is
an indication of kidney disease. The
proper course in such cases is to be-
gin at once the use of Prickly Ash
Bitters. It is an effective kidney
remedy and system regulator. Price
$1.25. J. E. Turner, Special Agent.

In Memory of Parley Burnett Sel-
vidge.
Several weeks ago Kopperl and the
surrounding country was shocked and
saddened by the news of the death of
Mrs. F. W. Selvidge, the only daugh-
ter of Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Burnett of
this place.
Parley Marjory Burnett was born
at Kfopperl, on March 24th, 1897.
From babyhood thru a joyous, care-
free girlhood we have seen her grow
to lovely womanhood, only to be taken
away at a time when life was sweet
and best.
"Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither, at the north-
wind's breath;
And stars to set—but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own,
Oh Death."
Never was there a more lovable,
generous girl than Parley Burnett, or
one who was more popular. Her
friends were numbered by her ac-
quaintances.
At an early age, she finished school
at Kopperl, then attended Meridian
College for one year. From there
she entered Texas Woman's College
at Fort Worth, where her school ca-
reer ended after the second term,
because of ill health.
Accompanied by her mother, she
went to Globe, Arizona, in the Fall
of 1916, and for awhile she improved
rapidly. While the*e she became
acquainted with Floyd W. Selvidge,
and on June 31st, 1917, became his
wife. In the latter part of that year
they moved to El Paso, Texas, and
remained there until death claimed
her. Her health failing again, her
mother went to live with her, reliev-
ing her of all care. Seldom does one
see an invalid whose life was made
as happy, and whose every wish was
gratified as hers was,by a devoted
family. Nothing that could be done
was left undone, but in spite of all
this care and love, she could not stay,
and on December 20th, 1920, at 9 p.
m., surrounded by her husband, par-
ents and brother, she passed away.
The body was shipped to Kopperl,
and there, on December 23rd, after
services at the Methodist Church
where she had worshiped all her life,
and been converted and baptized, she
was laid to rest in the pretty Kopperl
Cemetery, while several hundred
grieving relatives and friends hid her
earth-banked grave with a profusion
of beautiful flowers.
"You would have thought that Death
would have looked upon her and
smiled, "Not Yet,"
For it seems that one so altogether
fair
With form and heart and mind so
winsome, beautiful and rare
Should have long years for blossom
and for fruitage on our sod
Before being transplanted to the
Paradise of God.
That we might long enjoy the bless-
ings of her happy life
So needed in this saddened, troubled
world of sin and strife.
But, no, God claims the sweetest and
the tenderest for his own
Leaving us stricken as we tread the
pathway sand and lone—
But, better still# some golden day,
our Father's own good time
We, too, shall dwell with her in Hea-
ven's fair and sunny clime.
And one thrice blessed compensation
of that happy land
Is that all life's mysteries, we shall
fully understand.
Notice to Water Customers.
Anyone failing to pay their water
rent by the 10th of each month will
be disconnected from the mains, un-
less special arrangements are made
with me. J. W. Grimes.
Mesdames Isaac Francis and A. S.
Lomax honored their mother, Mrs.
Martha Adams, with a dinner last
Saturday, the occasion being Mrs.
Adams' birthday. Those enjoying
the day with Mrs. Adams were: A
S. Lomax and family, Isaac Francis
and family, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Tubb,
Mrs. Daisy Bible and daughter, and
Misses Alta Barnett and Alice Moore.
Mrs. Adams was the recipient of a
number of appropriate gifts, and the
good wishes of all that she may spend
many more such pleasant birthdays.
I am still taking orders for the
Mutual Fabric Co. line of dry good*.
Anyone desiring to order any kind of
goods should see my samples. They
will be shown to you at any time you
desire by calling on me at the City
Market & Grocery. Miss Mary Dot-
son, Meridian, Texas. 37p
Julius Brown returned' Tuesday
from Sebring, Fla., where he had
been for the past month looking after
his farm, and while there made ar-
rangements to have it prepared and
planted in oranges and grape fruit
Everything being favorable, Mr.
Brown expects to make a profitable
crop of fruit five years hence. Se-
bring is located in the great orange
belt of Florida and is ar fast-growing
business center and health resort.
He reports having had a delightful
time during his visit, and it may be
that he will move there by the time
the grove bears.

And Your Telephone
"Telephone Supplies" are commonly supposed to
consist principally of things made of copper, lead, iron
or wood.
Yet the fact is that the upkeep of the telephone
exchange can hardly be carried on a single day with-
out the use of repair parts containing many other
materials—less common, perhaps, but just as important
to the service. Only a few of these other materials are
listed below—with the percentage of the increase in
their cost since 1914—
Antimony, 68%; Sheet and Rod Brass, 80%; Insu-
lating Paper, 111%; Crude Para Rubber, 30%; Spun
and Tussah Silk, 300 to 400%; Linen Thread, 182%;
Tinsel, 157%; Fine Cotton Yarn, 290%; Clay Conduit,
134%; Creosoted Wooden Conduit, 111%; Pig Tin,
103"%; Sheet Fibre, 133%; Glass Insulators, 99%;
Dry Batteries, 105%—
These are just a few of the reasons, Mr. Subscriber,
why telephone service cannot be manufactured now
and sold for the rates extant in 1914— $
