appropriately carried out in the re

Besult of Kindergarten Work.
Last week Dalton was visited by
Mrs. Strozier, a charming, earnest
worker for the Georgia Children’s
Home society, soliciting members to
assist them in the grand work of res-
cuing little children and placing them
in childless homes to be educated to
make useful men and women.
In an humble home on Factory hill
was a bright, golden-haired little girl,
two years of age, whose father had de
serted the child wife and mother who,
handicapped by ill health, was striving
to earn a living for herself and baby.
Through our efficient kindergarten
teacher, Mrs. Strozier was taken to this
home. Attracted by the child she
offered to take her or place her where
she could have every comfort and ad
vantage. The unselfishness of mother-
love prompted the girl to give up her
little one,
Monday, Mrs. Lawshe, visiting nurse
for the home, came and took the little
one into a new life. To those who are
members of this charity, I wish that
you could have known this little one -
that your generosity has helped to have
a chance.
The poor little mother is still with
ns, and sick. When she recovers her
ambition is to go back to her native
state, Mississippi, and 'enter the indus
trial school and strive “to be some
body, ” as is her ambition for her baby.
“I would never consent to part with
my baby, but to give her opportunities
I have never had. If I live, I want
you ladies to help me make something
of myself.” ’Twas a heart-rending
scene; hut gratitude filled my heart for
such institutions, such Christian homes
opened to helpless little ones. Such
women as represent them, and such a
generous, sympathetic community as
our own. Two merchants supplied the
little one with cloak, shoes, stockings,
etc.
Let ns not forget the little mother
whose empty arms and aching heart
may retard her recovery. Give her a
“lift,” if only a word of encourage
ment, that her bright, pretty little one
may grow to useful womanhood.

Dalton Testimony Remains Unshaken.
Time is the best test of truth. Here
is a Dalton story that has stood the
test of time. It is a story with a point
which will come straight home to many
of us.
A. W. Hill, 6 W. Tyler street, Dalton,
Ga., says: “I suffered from dull pains
across the small of my hack and I also
had difficulty in passing the kidney se
cretions. Hearing of Doan’s Kidney
Pills, I decided to give them a trial and
got a box at Fincher & Nichols’ Drug
Store. In a short time I noticed a great
improvement and it was not long be
fore the trouble left. I cheerfully rec
ommend Doan’s Kidney Pills to all per
sons afflicted with kidney complaint
and confirm my former endorsement of
them. I have not had a symptom of
kidney complaint since Doan’s Kidney
Pills cured me.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Hill had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
