** KIDNEY COLDS.”
Nothing will
"lay you up,”
"play you out,”
"put you to
b c il” quicker
than a kidney
cold. Thou
sands feel the
first effect of
colds in the
n e y s. Backache,
rheumatic pains,
urinary disorders,
retention of the
urine, infrequent and too frequent
urinary discharges tell of kidneys
out of order.
Doan’s Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills from common backache to dan
gerous diabetes.
A. T. Kitenour, owner of the wood
yard at 125 East Cork Street, Win
chester, Va., says: “Ever since I had
La Grippe I have been a sufferer
from kidney troubles, which made
themselves apparent in racking
pains through the region of the kid
neys and across the small of my
back. The pains were always se
vere, and sometimes so sharp and
biting that they compelled me to
take to my bed. The kidney secre
tions furnished further evidence of
disorders. They were ofE color, ir
regular, and painful of passage.
Added to this there was an annoying
weakness. The newspaper advertise
ments of Doan’s Kidney Pills attract
ed my attention, and I procured a
box of that remedy at Franck Baker
& Sons’ drug store. The relief I ex
perienced was magical. The pills
lifted me from my bed of sickness,
placed me on my feet, and made me
a well man. I can work as well as
ever. Doan’s Kidney Tills, I believe,
saved my life. They are a great
remedy to stop kidney troubles re
sulting from colds.”

enour will be mailed on application

“Gentlemen,” says the spokesman,
“something must be done to add inter

that in recent years, despite our efforts
to wound maim and kill, the sport has
dwindled in public favor. No doubt this
it because of the increase in the number
of wars, and the familiarity of the public
with injuries from that cause; also be
cause of the growth of the automobile
fed. Hence, as 1 say, we must do some
thing to put more ginger in the game.
The point is, what s.ia'i we do?”

The Heat \\ ay to Teach History.
The idea of object teaching, the founda
tion of the Froebel system of instruction,
has in recent years met with general accept
ance and adoption in a I me Ast every branch of
education, high and low, w ith resultant ben
efits which are beyond question. Even such
subjects as grammer and arithmetic are
now taught in this way so far as practicable,
and with marked advantage over the old
dry and abstract method. The practice of
teaching history by making pilgrimages to
the very scenes where great historical events
have occurred is an application of the same
principle and much more valuable in the
way of impressing the reality of history upon
the minds of the young than any amount of
mere text-book instruction eouid be. A re
cent issue of the “Four-Track ISeries,” pub
lished by the New York Central manage
ment, gives a description of the historical
sites in the immediate vicinity of New York,
which will be of exceeding value for the
guidance of teachers and others who desire
to adopt this method of historical study.
One of the best ways to develop civic pride
and promote good citizenship lies in this
very direction, an increase of knowledge of
local history being accompanied with an in
crease of interest in matters of local govern
ment and a higher concern for what affects
the welfare and good name of the commu
nity.—From Leslie’s Weekly.

•1 In diseases that come to women only,
as a rule, the doctor is called in, some
times several doctors, but still matters
go from bad to worse; but I have
never known of a case of female weak
ness which was not helped when
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound was used faithfully. For
young women who are subject to
headaches, backache, irregular or pain
ful periods, and nervous attacks due to
the severe strain on the system by
some organic trouble, and for women
of advanced years in the most trying
time of life, it serves to correct every
trouble and restore a healthy action of
all organs of the body.
“ Lydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound is a household reliance
in my home, and I would not be with
out it. In all my experience with this
medicine, which covers years, I have
found nothing to equal it and al
ways recommend it.’’—Mrs. Laura L.

SOUTHERN
EDUCATION
WHY RURAL LIBRARIES
Are a Supplement to the Seliool
Eilneutlon nnil Broaden tlie
Horizon of the Header.
“The difference between the educat
ed man and the uneducated,” says
President Schurman, “is that tlie ed
ucated man sees more, feels more,
wants more, is interested in a vastly
greater variety of things, and, iu
short, lives a larger, a richer and a
fuller life. He is haunted by thoughts
and touched by emotions and moved
by ideals which are incommunicable
to him who has not been nourished
at the breasts of human science and
culture.” It is the business of the
school to initiate the child into this
larger life. Yet it is a lamentable fact
that the boys and girls of Ihe rural
communities of the south are getting
from the public school practically no
help in this direction. A child may
learn to read and to write and to
manipulate numbers, may learn the
rules of grammar and rhetoric, may
memorize and recite the mere lists of
facts which pass for geography and
history—may do all this well, and yet
go out into the world with his horizon*
but little broader than if the school
had never existed.
The business of the school is to ini
tiate the child into civilization. But
civilization is not embodied in the
formal studies: reading, writing,
arithmetic, grammar. To give the
child these is to give him his instru
ments, his tools; but to give him no
more is to leave him without inspira
tion and guidance. These tools are
made useful only in so far as the child
has opened up to him the realms of
nature and of humanity. Through
the use of these instruments the child
may enrich his own life by appropri
ating the accumulated experience of
the race. This experience comes to
him in the main in the form of books.
The most vital endowment which the
school gives to the child is the con
firmed reading habit directed by a
cultivated taste. With this endow
ment the most remote community is
put in touch with civilization; the
child of the district is made the citi
zen of the world. But this reading
habit can not be cultivated in the ab
sence of books. Without the rural
district library, the rural school must
fail in its most important function.
How Strong is n State?
In a vision Nebuchadnezzar beheld a
'rent image. This image was mighty,
his brightness was excellent, his as
pect terrible; his head was of line
gold, his breast and arms of silver,
his belly and thighs of brass, his >egs
of iron., his feet part of iron and part
of clay. And when the feet, that
were of iron and clay, were smitten
they brake in pieces. Then was the
iron, the clay, the brass, the silver,
and the gold, broken in pieces togeth
er, and •becaihe like the chaff 'qt? the1
suirj9iej» ai*d *rtve
mt
place was found for them.
And so will it ever be Xhtfl^cl^y is
no longer mixed with iron in the feet.
The glory and splendor and wealth of
statues and states may be in the brass
and silver and fine gold of other parts
of the body, hut their strength is in
the feet; and their glory and splendor
and wealth are as naught in the day
of trial, if the feet break by reason
of the clay that is in them. No state
is stronger than the strength of intel
ligence and virtue in the lowest
stratum of its citizenship. Especially
is this true of the democratic state.
We must look to the right education
of the children of the poorest and the
humblest as a means of self-preserva
tion for state and society.
Consolidation of Schools.
The cause of consolidation of
schools continues to win favor in high
places. It is now advocated by every
state superintendent of public in
struction of the south, by an over
whelming majority of county super
intendents, by most teachers, and by
a goodly number of those who have
children in 1lie schools.
• Within the last two years the ma
jority of the governors of the states
have urged legislation to prevent the
further subdivision of schools and to
increase consolidation. In Tennessee,
both Gov. McMillin, in his last mes
sage, and Gov. Frazier, in his first
message to the legislature, urged such
legislation in the strongest terms.
Gov. Frazier says:
“My investigation leads me to the
conclusion that in many counties of
the state there are too many school
districts and too many schools. The
school fund is scattered among nu
merous small and weak schools, thus
limiting the capacity and effectiveness
and shortening the term of all. A
small school is always a weak school;
is has not the vital and growing pow
er that numbers give.
“One of the crying needs of our
public school system in Tennessee is
reasonable and practical consolida
tion. The tendency in cur state to
multiply rural schools so as to locate
a public school near to every man's
door lias caused a great waste of pub
lic money and lias seriously impaired
the etlieier,cy of our public schools.
We need, above all tilings, strongei
schools and longer school terms.”

Treat Catarrh In Spring.
The spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna
is taken during the early spring months
the cure will be prompt and permanent.
There can be no failures if Peruna is
taken intelligently during the favorable
weather of spring.
Asa systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. It cures
catarrh of the stomach or bowels with
the same certainty as catarrh of the
head.
