WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT IN MEMPHIS

By G. V. SANDERS MEMPHIS. April 18.—Politics, the eternal game of Memphis, is getting more mention in the conversation on the streets than any other subject—even more than the white mule manufactured in large quantities In Hatchle Bottoms. Is Ed Crump, the red headed county political boss, going to run for mayor this fail? That is the biggest question. Even Clarence Saunders, who started his first Piggly Wiggly in this his homo town, is mixed up in politics somewhat. He fought the county boss In the Governor's race last summer and licked hirn. Can Saunders lick Crump like he licked Wall Street? That’s what they want to know. Auto Accidents News Speeding automobiles and traffic accidents take up a lot of the conversation and the newspaper space. Memphis for some reason carries off first or second honors among cities every year. The pedestrian says a moists here are the most reckless in the world. But this is going too far without giving prohibition and bootleg their proper mention. For every glass of near beer that is gulped there Is a curse for the reformers who have taken away the real stuff. And the lovers of the stronger stuff that, used to flow most freely in Memphis compare notes on the quality of the stuff they get from bootleggers. RUSSIA’S TROUBLES TOLD Allen T.

She Feels So Good Since She Began Taking Dr. Carey's Marshroot Prescription for Kidney and Bladder Regd this extract from a very remarkable letter: “Mv mother Buffered so much from kidney trouble, her body being so swollen she could hardly breathe. Her legs and feet were as large as three legs and they wore so hot and burned so she kept them all summer in a pan of water. We read In a newspaper how good Dr. Carey's Marshroot Prescription was and got her a bottle. She soon began to get better and went down to her own size. Her legs went down, too. She feels so good when she takes it. Her skin was so yeljow, but since she has taken Marshroot she Is so white and looks so much better. We are all taken up with Marshroot for it ha* saved our mother's life, for her doctor said nothing could be done for her. She was 62 year* old and was so filled up with water." (Mrs.) S. C.
