ON EDGE Worried A Lot "I took Cardui at interval# for three years, and have been in good health since last fall," says Mrs. Noble J. Hayes, of Waterloo, S. C. "My improvement after talcing a course of this medicine was really remarkable. "I am much stronger and can accomplish so much more work now. My weight increased twen ty pounds, and my color is good. Tor a long time I had been feeling poorly. Some days I dragged around the house and had not enough energy to do my housework. "I worried a lot about myself. I did not seem like myself and my nerves were all on edge. I did not sleep well, and my appe tite left me. *1 found Cardui to be an excel lent tonic. After I had taken it a few weeks, I began to pick up and to gain in weight and strength.'* At all drug stores. C-138 m, INSURANCE •l J BROWN INSURANCE AGENCY W. L.

Phone 40, Forest City. 1-tf 1 THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY,-DECEMBER 20, 1928 The Weekly Papers j A group of superior minds recent ly made a "survey" of the weekly . | press of North Carolina, and of ! course the editors of these publica i tions got a good deal of advice as to how to do it. There are always some people who know how to run ■ I ,' newspapers better than the men on j the job. The general opinion of the survey gave the weeklies rather an i indifferent standing. Some "rural sociologists" hold the weekly papers in high esteem, while others consider them "of little worth," seldom read by any one except "the small town and open country dweller." There was a careful classification of con tents "into 10 categories, with sev | eral subdivisions in each category." I The analysis was that the weekly pa pers of N. Carolina "give too much space to gossip about persons and to syndicate magazine matter," and too little to "economic, political and sporting news." Not a word about the service these papers are rendering for education, agriculture and gen eral rural welfare. The Observer, not being a highbrow, might be arraign- j ed for failing in appreciation of the j aesthetic opinion of the weekly pa- j pers of the State, but the estimate of j the ordinary minds to which they cater might be that the average weekly paper is just the thing the clientage desires. What would a weekly paper be j without the neighborhood gossip, the j items that give account of the move- j ment of neighbors and the doing of j the community? It is through the pages of the weekly papers that The Observer keeps posted on what is go ing on over the State. It finds these weekly exchanges valuable as news purveyors of a kind only the weekly papers could give. It finds, also, that the majority of the weeklies in the : State have taken advanced position j as agricultural promoters, in domes- j tic enterprise, in the work of women, j girls and boys and that in a gen- j eral way they operate as the State's i most resourceful educational agen- ! cies. The Observer has often remarked , that while North Carolina has no great city, it has an aggregation of the finest towns of any State in the country. Its strength is located in the town citizenship, and the strength of this citizenship is large ly developed by the high character j of the papers that serve it. In towns ; and and in weekly papers, The Ob- j | server believes North Carolina can I establish another "first," and a first j l 1 I of abounding importance. For years! past we have stood in admiration of | the enterprise and resourcefulness of the North Carolina weekly newspa pers, and particularly of the ability and intelligence with which they are edited. If we were on the jury of j appraisement, we would vote the North "Carolina weekly newspapers among the most highly prized assets of the State.—Charlotte Observer. RELIEF FROM CURSE OF CONSTIPATION ! A Battle Creek physician says, Constipation is responsible for more , misery than any other cause." I But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Order lies attracts water from the system into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a | gentle, thorough movement without i forming a habit or ever increasing the dose. ; Stop suffering from constipation, i Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night. | Next day bright.
