As a general rule there is noth ing serious about a loss of appe tite, and if you skip a meal or onlT eat two meals a day for a few days you will soon have a telisb for your meals when meal time comes. Bearan mind that at least five hour should always relapse between meals so as to Ktve the foo4 ample time to digest and the stomach a period ol rest before a' second meal is taken. Then if joueat no more than you crave and take a reason able amount of ou door exercise everyday you' need not worry about tout appetite When loss of appetite is caused by constipa tion as is often the case, that should be the, corrected at once. A dose of Chamflerlain's Tab rets will do it. Thqi ran Is Kfllsd by lire Wire at Hend erMn - Hei deron, July 16.

Mr ; Yanderford Not In Line For Removal T. H Vanderford, revenue collector., with offices in Greensboro, has been assured by the department that there i no thought of removing him from GreenBboro, . The colonel made this announcement upon hia re turn yesterday from South Carolina, where be has been for several days investigating the killing of Sherifi Rector by1 Deputy CoHector Gosnell. According to Mr. Van derford', the killing of Sheriff Recjtor followed persistent bluffs he haa attempted to pull over flie revenue officer. The sheriff aud collector's views conflicted on the ques tion of moonshining. It came tc a point, Mr., yanderford said, where Gros nell must either shoot or be shot. He said he advised him to avoid Sheriff Rector, but a few5 days ago the two came together, the Sheriff was the aggressor and fcrosnell shot him dead. Mr. Vanderford was not perturbed over the Raleigh rumor that he was to be re inoved from the Greensboro office. He didn't pay much. attention to it, he sa'di, and assurances were forthcoming immediately that the de partment did not contemplate his removal. KENTUCKY PIONEER IS 130 TERRS' OLD.

' His sight' is as good today as ever it is said and his great est pleasure is to have the "boys" come in for old time shooting matches, in which he generally bests present day marksmanship, even - though he uses his old time rifle. He came to Kentucky when this section was a wiN derness, following the hunt ting trails blazed only a few years previously by Daniel Boone, and Shell himself was a noted hunter and pioneer. He attributes his long and vigorous life to his never tail ing temperate habits. In his use of tobacco and and IN quor an in eating he has aU ways been careful never to indulge to excess. In late years a fourth l3t of teeth has made its appeal a nee. Mr Shell is of light wiry build and when he has occasion to do so he rides 20 miles into Hyden and back home the same day with out evidence .of unusual fatigue. Mr Shell helped clear east ernKentucky from Indians, there still having been a tew tribes wben he arrived, and was probably the first white man to settle in Leslie coun ty. He lives near the home he picked outfmore than 100 years ago. Summer Complaints Wckfy Relieved.
