Thanked by Thousands
Hundreds of Grateful Letters Daily tell how the Free trial of
Doan’s Kidney Fills brought relief to Invalid-Drifting People.
Oakland, Cal.—"I got your trial box of
Doan’s Kidney Fills and thank you very much
for them. I think t^ey are worth their weight
In gold. I gave them to my son and they
helped him so much that I bought two boxes.
They have done him more good than the doc
tors could do. They said he had Bright's
Disease and could not get well. Ills urine
was green and his back nearly killed him.
Now he is nearly well. I have five other sous
whom I have advised to write you, as I
would like to convince them of the merits of
Doan’s Kidney Fills.”—Mrs. Leigett, 7C2 East
17th Street, Oakland, Cal.
New Orleans, La.—“ I take pleasure in con
gratulating you on your Doan's Kidney Pills.
I received and used the sample and then pur
chased a box of C. L. Cusack & Co., Ltd. I
must say I have been cured of dizziness by
them, and have not had the slightest sign of
this so-called vertigo sfnee the use of Doan’s
Kidney Pills. I will recommend them to a
great many others whom I know suffering from
dizziness and kidney complaint. It is true,
since using the pills, every one I meet remarks
about how well I look. Thanking you for your
free trial box.”—Geo. Jcnroville, care of
Preston & Stauffer, New Orleans, La.

THE BAND CUT ICE.
Too Cold to Make Music, and They
Wanted to Be Set to Work
at Once.
One winter when the First United States
cavalry was stationed in Montana the
bandmaster went to the commander of the
post, Gen. Cuvier Grover, and reported
that the members of the band had been or
dered to help cut ice, relates the Detroit
Free Press. He said: “Sheneral, they did
not enlist us to cut ice, but to make moosic.”
The commandiiifp^fficer called the adjutant
and on his approach said: “Mr. Adjutant,
Mr. Schmidt wishes the band excused from
ice fatigue; he says they enlisted to make
music.” Mr. Schmidt, bowing to the coin
minding officer, said: "Yes, sheneral, to
make moosic.” The commanding officer
then said: “Mr. Adjutant, the band will
be excused front ice fatigue.” Mr. Schmidt
bowed himself out,, saying: "Thank you.
sheneral; thank you; sheneral.” "But,”
continued the commanding officer, as the
door closed, “Mr. Adjutant, the band will
take post on tne bluff overlooking the river
and will make music while the rest of the
command cut ice.” The weather was in
tensely cold, and as a matter of course it
was impossible for the players to make a
sound’, their breathing freezing on their
instruments. The bandmaster again hur
ried to the commanding officer and said:
“Sheneral, it is impossible to make
moosic; the band would rather cut ice.”
“Very well, Mr. Schmidt, just as you wish,”
replied tiie commanding officer, and, call
ing tiie adjutant, he said: “Mr. Adjutant,
the band will cut ice.”

said Dr. Keen, “and is reputed to be the

Arizona gives $50 every year for
books for sebool libraries to every
district having one hundred ehilldren.
California has a district, law and
makes annual contributions to the
libraries. Colorado g! es one-tenth of
a mill school tax to its rural libra
ries. Illinois allows an amount not
to exceed two mills, Indiana one
fourth to one-third of a mill, Iowa
one mill. Kentucky two years ago
enacted a law allowing the commis
sioners to use a part of the school
fund for libraries, one to be at the
commissioners’ office, and then as
much as $10 for each school district
if the people would raise $10. As a
result, in two years, every county has
a local library in the courthouse, and
there is a library for every 720 chil
dren in Kentucky, and one book for
every ten children. Maryland allows
the superintendents to give $10 if the
community will raise $10. Massachu
setts $13 if the district will raise $15.
New Jersey appropriates $-0 the first
year, and $15 each year thereafter.
Michigan has it in the constitution
that the legislature shall provide for
at least one library in every town
ship. Minnesota has a similar law.
Missouri passed in 1900 a law allowing
the commissioners to withhold five
cents for every child enrolled in
school, and appropriate that money
for a school library if the community
would raise an equal amount. Under
that law, last year, the commissioner
writes me, they spent $10,0000 for li
braries, and he says there never was
money spent that brought, a richer re
turn. Kansas, Nebraska, New Hamp
shire, the Dakotas, Oregon, Pennsyl
vania and Vermont have district laws.
Wisconsin sets aside for district li
braries ten cents for every child en
rolled. North Carolina passed a law
year before last appropriating $5,000
from the state funds to be paid out
$10 to every school district that
would appropriate $10. Mr. Joyner,
the state superintendent, told me a
few weeks ago that the $5,000 was
taken up in three months; that they
bought in North Carolina last year 2,
400 books for their school libraries,
and he said: “We propose to keep
that up—$5,000 a year—until every
school and every boy and girl lias
access to the best literature of the
world.”—Joseph S. Stewart, in the

AN EDUCATIONAL CATECHISM.
A Number of Pertinent Questions
For the Fat hem unit Moth
ers of the South.
is tne cmui the supreme interest or
tlie state
is the education of the child the
greatest investment of the state?
Can there be any better test of trne
citizenship than activity for public
education?
Should the payment of taxes for
schools be considered more of a priv
ilege than a duty?
If it a wrong to the el 5Id to keep
him in a poor school nearby when he
might attend a good consolidated
school a mile or two away?
Can the problem of education in the
south be evolved without district tax
ation ?
Should we expect an efficient, sys
tem of public school if we do not
have non-partizan specialists as
school officials?
Can we employ suitable teachers on
poor salaries?
Is manual training in the schools a
necessity or a luxury?
Is the influence of attractive school
houses and grounds of decided edu
cative value?
Should we emphasize only those
studies that contribute most to the
usefulness of the puril in after life?
Can the south rise to industrial
piominence without industrial educa
tion ?
Would agricultural courses in the
public schools greatly increase the
pr« duct of southern farms?
The l*ru|ier Public Sentiment.
Our people must realize that, while
it is their duty to pay taxes for the
protection of life and property, it is
Iheir still higher duty to pay taxes for
the education of their children. They
must believe that it is the inalienable
right of every child to demand and to
receive the benefits of an elementary
education at least, and that the most
profitable investment of the body
politic, measured in dollars and cents,
is the tax fund invested in the brains
and capabilities of children. They
must feel deeply that conception of
truth and recognition of duty are
not alone tetaoinlaws.Mshrdiilwyppp
must justify their faith,taxes must bo
levied and collected, and wise, intel
ligent supervision of the public agen
cies of education must lie maintained.
—John If. Small.
The Central School licst.
We have been uuable to find a single
instance where, after trying both sys
tems fairly,the farmers preferred the
inferior district school to the su
perior central school, providing the
conditions of transportation and the
details had been properly attended to.
—Supt. L. D. Harvey of Wisconsin.
The tireateat Problem.
There are many problems before
the southern people, but the greatest
problem we have to solve in this gen
eration is that of the rural industrial
school.

Praise Pe-ru-na as a Cure for Golds and a Preventive of Catarrh.
- mi Q.

£
Mrs. M. J. Brink
FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.
The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as “catching cold.”
It may he in the head, nose, throat or
lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so
severe as to cause a chill and consider
able fever, or it may be so slight as to
not hinder a person from his usual
business. In perhaps a majority of
eases little or no attention is paid' to
the first stage of catarrh, and. hence it
is that nearly one-half of the people
have chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as any one discovers
—
the first symptoms of catching’ cold
he should at once begin the use of
Peruna according to directions on
the. bottle, and the cold is sure to
pass away without leaving any bad
effects.
Unless this is done the cold is al
most sure to end in the second stage
of catarrh, which is making so
many lives miserable. If Peruna
was taken every time one lias a cold'
or cough, chronic catarrh would be
practically an unknown disease.
Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 57 Bassett
street, Albany, N. Y., writes:
"I have always dreaded unsettled
weather because of my extreme liability
to catch cold, when a catarrhal trouble
would quickly develop through my en
tire system, which it would take weeks
to drive away. I am thankful to say
that S’ince I have taken PERUNA 1 do
not have any reason to dread this any
more. If I have been at all exposed to
the damp, wet or cold weather, 1 take
a dose or two of PERUNA, anciit throws
out any hint of sickness from my system.”
—Miss Elizabeth Uber.
Mrs. M. J. Brink. No. 820 Michigan ave
nue. St. Joseph, Mich., writes:
"This past winter during the wet and cold
weather I caught a sudden and severe cold,
which developed a catarrhal condition
through my entire system, and so affected
my general health that I was completely
broken down, and became nervous'and hys
terical and unlit to supervise my home. My
.physician prescribed for me. but somehow
his medicine did me no goodt Reading of
PERUNA I decided to try it. After I had
taken but three bottles I found myself in
fine health.”—Mrs. M. J. Brink.
Sibyl A. Hadley, 26 Main street. Hunting
ton, Ind., writes: “Last winter after get
ting my feet wet I began to cough, w hich
gradually grew' worse until my throat was
sore and raw. Ordinary remedies, did not
help me and cough remedHes nauseated me.
Reading an advertisement of what PE
RUNA could do, I .decided to try a bottle.

and you can imagine how gladil felt whea
it began to relieve me in a very short time.
In less than two weeks I was completely
cured.”—Sibyl A. Hadley.
Miss Sarah McGahan, No. 197 3d street,
Albany, N. Y., writes:
“A lew months ago I suffered with a se
vere attack of influenza, which nothing
seemed to relieve. My hearing became bad,
my eyes became irritated and feverish.
Nothing s-eemed right and nothing I ate
tastedi good. I took PERITNA and within
two weeks I was perfectly well."—Sarah
