EATS ANYTHING NOW; REGAINED 10 POUNDS Retonga Promptly Relieved Eli, .’distress From Notohs Indigestion, Sluggish Elim iuation, an«l Weak Run Down Feeling, States Mr. Pipkin, Feels Fine Again. “P.etonga gave me one of the happiest surprises of my life and I '’eel so fine now that I can never praise it enough,” declares Mr. Samuel D. Pipkin, well known home owner of R. F. D. 4, Dur ham, N. C. “I have regained ten pounds and I am able to eat three square meals a day for the first time in months,” continued Mr. Pipkin. “I suffered so much distress from nervous indigestion that I became afraid to eat solid food, and I was hardly able to do a day’s work. I had to take strong pur gatives until I felt like I couldn’t stand another dose. Mornings I felt as tired and worn out as when I went to bed. I lost a lot of weight and felt half sick and discouraged. “Retonga gave me relief. My ap petite is fine and everything seems MR. SAMUEL D. PIPKIN to agree with me. I sleep fine, and that stubborn constipation is relieved. I believe I feel about as good as I ever did. Retonga de serves all the praise I can give it.” Retonga is intended to relieve distress due to Vitamin B-l de ficiency, constipation, insufficent flow of gastrc juices in the sto mach, and loss of appetite. Accept no substitiute. Retonga may be obtained at Rosemry Drug Co. “The Rexall Store” (Adv.J. IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS... By — A. LiffSemem “Well, we finally got old Bush tail," Pop said as my brother ana I settled ourselves on the bench behind the table for breakfast. I could see the gleam in his eyes and I trembled a little in excite ment. “Yuh did?" we were unanimous. “Who cotch ’im?” Of course we wanted him to tell us that Old Lead, our sonorous mouthed hound, had led the chase and had hamstrung old Bushtail at the end. “Well, you might say that we were all in on the kill,” Pop ex plained as I felt a bit of a sink ing in my chest, wondering at the same time what had happened to bring forth a statement like that. Pop go himself another rasher of lean meat and gulped down some more coffee. But I didn’t think he looked so worn out as he might have after a hard chase. We waited. “We jumped him like always round yon end of the Sauratown. He streaked it across the Ridge just like he's done a hundred times I reckon. Old lead was out front, telling us every time that red tail switched. Just like always —across Eaton’s place, around the big rock, and down the mountain to the sheep pasture. We could hear them just as plain. Knew every ridge and every hollow they crossed. But you could see the fellows gettin’ oneseasy. They wer gettin' nigh “The Place.” “Shore ’nough. In a minulte every dog shet up like a clam, ‘ceptin’ Tom Bennett’s old Kate and we knowed she was just barkin to hear herself. “We hustled on over and by good day we got there. Them dogs were settin’ around lookin’ pure disgusted. That fox had disappear ed again. Just vanished in the air, it looked like. The dogs would come up to us and sniff around, then go back to the rail fence that runs along the north side of the sheep pasture. They kept sniffin’, first on one side, then on the other. "While we all stood around, try ing to figure it out and feeling a bit oneasy in the face of things, we heerd Walt Gordaon sing out way down the mountain. We rush ed down and found him standing atop that fence pointing to a big oak limb that reached clear out over the fence. "There’s yer fox, fellers, he said. “I fer one didn’t see just fer a minute what he was talking about. Walt told us. “Old Bus'htail hopped up on this fence way up yonder where the dogs lost him and walked it down here and jumped up on that liml and climbed in that hollow tree.’ “Well, we made short work of that tree with an ax, it being nothing but a hollow shell. In a minute down she came, busting wide open. Out jumped Old Bush tail just as the boys turned the dogs loose. It didn’t take them a minute to finish him off, him be ing half dazed when the tree fell. He’d been using that trick fer year.” Pop finished. I had lost my enthusiasm ‘hat time and a tear swelled up in my eyes. Pop looked over at me and I dropped my head. Every thing got still except for the forks and a hissing kettle on the stove. When I looked up again, R)p was paying close attention to his breakfast, as shamefaced as I was the time I robbed the thrush’s nest. And he didn’t look me straight in the eye for three or four days.
