Backache
In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys. .
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
"work day and night m separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
"The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state of health'
says Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., 'Is to
drink plenty of pure. water and obtain
from your favorite" pharmacy a small
amount of Anuric, which is "dispensed by
almost every druggist."- Anuric is-inexpensive
and should be taken Jbef ore meals.
You will find Anuric more potent than

HON. ROBERT H. RICKS.
Soldier, Legislator, Financier.
There lives in Rocky Mount toda
two of the immortal six who volun
teered to charge the house of Bethel,
in which charge the life of Henry
Wyatt, one of the six, was offered up
as the first red sacrifice on the altar
of Southern Confederacy. These liv
ing heroes are John H. Thorpe and
Robert H. Ricks. The story of the
life of Mr. Ricks brings pride to
every North Carolinian. Not less re
nowned in peace than in war, he has
come to fill a larger place in the in
dustrial affairs of Rocky Mount and
Nash county jihan any other individual.
Mr. Ricks was born in Nash county
In 1839 and lives now within three
miles of his birthplace. -
"Volunteering in the famous "Bethel
Regiment" at the first bugle call to
battle in 1861, sharing with his com
rades the first honors of the war, the
breast of Robert H. Ricks was bared
to the enemy's bullets hundreds of
times in defense of his beloved South
land. And when the star of the Con
federacy had finally set in agony and
in tears behind the bloody horizon at
Appomattox, Robert H. Ricks and his
brave "Manly's Battery" were still
fighting. For this man never surrend
ered. At Cold Harbor the wheels of the
gun Mr. Ricks was operating were
actually shot down with minie balls so
completely that new wheels had to be
put pn before the gun could be moved,
the only instance of the kind on
record, and Mr. Ricks himself was
struck five times, in this one fight, yet
his battery never retreated.
He was married in 1874 to Miss
Tempie Thorne. They have no child
ren, but he has helped educate and in
other ways provided for many child
ren who were not so well provided
with this world's goods.
Ever a busy man and much occupied
with his large and varied business in
terests, he has made sacrifices and
found- time to serve his county and
state in a number of public stations.
He has held numerous county offices.
He was elected to" North Carolina
House of Representatives in 1903 and
to the State Senate in-1905, and has
held several appointment positions foi
the state.

Against Fly Poisons
Following is an extract from "The g

Supplement No. 29 to the Public
Health Report, April, 1916.
" Of other fly poisons mentioned, g
mention should be made, merely for f
a purpose of condemnation, of those M
composed of arsenic. Fatal cases of
poisoning of children through' the
use of such compounds are far too H
frequent, and owing to the resem-
blauce of arsenical poisoning to It
summer diarrhea ana cholera in- m
fantum, it Is believed that the oases ff
reported do not, by any means, com- M
prist, the total. Arsenical fly-de- M
b troy in g devices must be rated as f
extremely dangerous, and. should B.
never be used, even if other meas-. g
