WIFE SUFFERED
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
Limbs Became So Swollen, She Was Unable To
Sleep or Go About Her Work-Husband Spent
Small Fortune for Relief -Finally Cured Her
"My wife's feet was so terribly swollen and she was pasi all work.
For four years she suffered with kidney trouble and could not sleep
nights. Her kidneys acted every twenty minutes fur one solid month.
I was worried and spared no expense securing the best medical atten
tion possible and after they failed, tried all the better advertised reme
dies but still with no result until one day I was persuaded to get a bottle
of THE GENUINE BLOOD PURIFIER and wonderful as it is to re
late, that one bottle of this wonderful remedy relieved her and she
now goes about her house work feeling fine," writes G. G. Bell, Store
Street, Poe Mills, Greenville, S. C.
Mr. Bell, who is a large contract painter, and did a big job for the
Poe Mills in Greenville, is well known throughout botll Carolines and
Georgia. He states that he would not bewithout GENUINE INDIAN
BLOOD PURIFIER in his house if it cost a hundred dollars per
bottle.

Bell is put with a great deal of care from an old Indian's formula and a
generous stock of this splendid kidney, blood and system remedy has

The Happy Man. The happi
est man in the world is the com
mon, every day chap, who makes
makes his own living, pays his
own hills and and has the respect
of his neighbors. He saves a little
money as he goes along, but does
not try to get a corner on his local
output and he is not a slave to am
bition or society. He never ex
pects to wear out his trousers in
the senate aud when he glides out
of the bed in the morning he never
wastes any time trying to pick out
the right tint of socks, suspender
and necktie that will blend with the
general effect.
He only wears a high collar
when he feels like it, and when his
pet corn begins to jump, he jerks
out his knife and cuts four-inch
gash in the side of his shoe and
nothing is said about it in the local
paper, He never has to set up at
night to poultice his conscience,
He believes the doctrine of live
and let live. When he encounters
one of the needy he doesn't stutter
with his pocket book. The plain
plug of a man is happy because he
is satisfied and he doesn't spend
half of time yearning for something
which his salary will not permit
him to buy. Give us more plain
men and the world will be better.

The 1919 Blue Triangle
Campaign. The National Y. W.
C. A. is asking for a million dol
lars in the United States to carry
on its peace work, which has in
creased ten fold since war was de
clared in 1917. North Carolina
is asked to give $14,751.00, and
Halifax county will gladly contrib
ute its share to this most laudable
work.
During the war the Y. W. C. A.
has gone overseas, helping not only
American women, but the
women of foreign countries
as well. The Y. W. C. A. is no
respecter of creed, race or color,
At home it has established hostess
houses at the camps, and has aided
thousands of girls and women who
have been engaged in war work.
As war industries close down there
will be thousands of young girls
thrown out of employment. These
young women will be going from
one place to another seeking
employment; many of them
will obtain employment in strange
cities and under conditions entire
ly new to them.
The Young Womens Christian
Association has most earnestly at
heart the welfare of these young
women, and it is the purpose of
the Association to endeavor in
every way possible to assist them
in adjusting themselves to the new
and untried conditions arising in
connection with this reconstruc
tion period.
The following ladies have been

13 Dollars -13
Cents
When Swift & Company
paid, say, 13 dollars per hun
dredweight for live beef cattle
last year, the profit was only
13 cent! In other words, if we
had paid $13.13, we would have
made no profit.
Or, if we had received a
quarter of a cent per pound less
for dressed beef we would have
made no profit
It is doubtful whether any
other business is run on so close
a margin of profit
This is bringing the producer
and the consumer pretty close
together which should be the
object of any industry turning
raw material into a useful form.
This remarkable showing is due to
enormous volume, perfected facilities
(packing plants strategically located,
branch houses, refrigerator cars, etc.),
and an army of men and women
chosen and trained to do their special
work.
This, and many other points of
interest, are found in the Swift &
Company Year Book for 1919. just
published which is brought out for the
public as well as for the 25,000 Swift
ft Company shareholders.
The Year Book also represents the
packer's side of the Federal Trade
Commission investigation, upon which
Congress is asked to base action
against the industry.
Many who have never heard the
pa;k?r'f aide are sending for the Year
Book.
Would you like one ? Merely mail
your name and address to the Chicago
office and the book will come to you.
