Rid Your Children of Worms
You can change fretful, ill-tempered
children into healthy, happy young
sters, by ridding them of worms. Toss
ing,- rolling, grinding of teeth, cry--
ing out while asleep, accompanied
with intense thirst, pains in the stom
ach and bowels, feverishness and bad
breath, are symptoms that indicate
worms. Kickapoo. Worm Killer, a
pleasant candy lozenge, expels the
worms, regulates the bowels, restores
your children to health and happiness.
Mrs. J. A. Brisbiu, of Elgin, 111., says:
"I have used Kickapoo Worm Killer
for years, and entirely ri l my children
of worms. I would not be without
it." Guaranteed. All druggists, or

Mrs. O. M Royster and Miss Ada
Srhenck arrived July 19 at Delta, Col.,
on a visit to Mr.' Herbert Chase, form.-
erly ®f Hickory. As their many friends,
will be glad to hear from them, we
quote from an interesting letter which
Mrs. N. W. Clarke has recently receiv
ed from Mrs. Royster:
• "We were four days and four nights
on the way. One night we spent at
Salid&so as to make the trip over Mar
shall Pass, by daylight. -We had a fine
trip all the way out and met very pleas
ant neopie from all parts of the globe.
When we said we were from N. C. they
looked at us as if they thought we were
strange animals! Coming through Kan
sas was like coming through a fiery fur
nace, the Jiottest wind I ever felt. The
mercury was 105 in the coolest place
in the car, everything was hot to the
tpuch, and we felt parched. At Kan
sas City the altitude was 700 ft . temp
100°; at Denver alt. 5000 ft., 70°; Sa
lida is 7000 ft., 60°; Marshall Pass, the
highest point, 10,856 ft. mtrcury down
to freezing, had snowed the day before
and-we could see patches of snow in
several places on the mountains.
Delta is a small place, about 3000,
altitude 4000 ft. The sun is very hot,
but the nights are cold, last night it
dropped to 60°, mountains in sight. It
is a peculiar looking country. The
mesas or table-lands look like old forti
fications one behind * another. Very
few tiees, and they depend on irrigation
entirely. This makes the mosquitoes
the piazzas are all screened. Mr.
Chase told us it was very dry and
here and rarely ever rained, but Friday
they had a real cloud burst and rain for
two days, and when we got here there
wu ft regular flood. Our train was de
layed.by a washout, we came to a dead
stop, the creek was rushing over - the
track n . There- was. too much water to
g9 through the culvert, and the track
wfs. covered with rocks and mud. The
section hands struck and we were de
layed -a-few hours. I've never seen
sqch angry - looking water, it was like
'liquid mod and carried- everything be
fore it. The-mud here-is like puny..
! • ''Mrs. Chase and Edwin,-their ten-,
year- oldson* met us at the station. In
their beautiful and convenient home.
I they have a Jap boy for servant and he
i» a treasure. He does everything, is
a fine cook, serves the meals beautiful
ly, bis kitchen is spotless, he cleans
the house-, does the laundry and keeps
up the lawns.
We are having the most delicious
raspberries and vegetables, of all kinds.
* v **l wish I could write you a descrip
tion of the Royal Gorge and the canon;
•it was grand. We followed the Arkan
sas River almost to its source between
mountains, one and two thousand feet.
These mountains are mostly rock, but
the. coloring is wonderful; there are
■few trees on them ?nd they are very
scrybby ones.; On this side of Mar
shall Pass we come down the Gunnison
River and. the scenery is giand and
such a variety of- flowers, just like a
large' flower garden, it was beautiful.
VVhen I came this way before every
thing was white with snow.
"It tires me to write and I don't
know when I can write to anyone else,
.so please you tell my friends."

When you have trouble with your

just because your doctor fails to give
you relief. Mrs. G. Stengle, Plain

past I have been troubled with my
stomach. Everything I ate upset it
terribly. One of Chamberlain r s ad
vertising booklets came to me. After
reading a few of the letters from people
who had been cured by Chamberlain's

have taken nearly three fourths of a
