G. W. Phillips, retired preach
er, 803 S. Lee St. Fitzgerald, Gra.,l
says: ¢‘l have used Doan’s Kidney
Pills with the very best of results
and cheerfully endorse them for
the benefit of other kidney suffer
ers. For over ayear I had kid
ney complaint. My back became
lame, stiff and sore and there were
piercing pains through my kidneys.
My limbs were weak and in the
morning I was hardly able to
straighten, The secretions from
my kidney also caused me added
apnoyance. Doan’s Kidney Pills
did me a world of good, ridding
me of my pains and improving
my condition in every way. In
my opinion, this remedy has no
equal for the cure of kidney com
plaint.”

Best Collections
of Classic Books
Washington, D. C., Dec. 24.
One of the world’s best collec
tions of books on Turkey and the
Balkan states is in an American
ilibrary. It is the famous Riant
collection now in Harvard Uni
vresity library. It was acquired
by Harvard in 1899 and has since
been added to until today the
section on the Ottoman Empire
comprises about 4,000 volumes.
American libraries have a very
large number of valuable collec
tions. What is probably the most
important Dante collection in ex
istence is at Cornell. The most
remarkable set of Bibles in the
world, composing a large number
first editions and unique copies,
is in the library of the Theologi
cal Seminary in New York. One;
of the finestlibraries of Japanese
material to be found anywhere is
at Yale University. Inworkson
mystic subjects it would be diffi
cult to duplicate in Europe the
great collection in the Masonic
library at Cedar Rapids, lowa, or
in the Scottish Rite Library of
this city.
Fight to Eliminate
Negro as a Soldier
Washington, Dec. 28.—The pro
posal to eliminate the negro as an
American soldier is a topic slated
for consideration when the con
ference of the ranking officers of
the army takes place here Janu
ary 1.
Some officers favoring the plan
are prepared to urge iton the
ground that in the Philippines
the natives are said to resent the
appearance among them of the
black troopers and that there are
signs of dissatisfaction in Hawaii,
lowing to the fact that the Twen
ty-fifth infantry, a negro organ
ization, has been ordered to the
islands to form a permanent gar
rison. 1
‘ Friends of the negro soldiers
are preparing to make a strenu
ous fight in their behalf, pointing
'to their record in time of war in
’Cuba and in the Philippines.
‘The Southern Sweet Potate
' Washington, Dec. 24,—The

‘the New Orleans and Northwes
tern Railway, and the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad, joined in adver
tising the day as ‘‘Southern
Sweet Potato Day,”’ serving the
sweet potato in various styles on
their dining cars.
The delicious and wholesome
qualities of the southern sweet
3potato and the many ways in
which it may be prepared was
'brought prominently to the at
tention of all dining ecar patrons
on that day and henceforth the
potato will be regularly included
on the menus of these lines,
which are working with the idea
of enlarging the market for this
valuable product of the south,
thus encouraging farmers and
‘truckers to pay more attention
to growing sweet potatoes as a
money crop.
