ALL OUT OF SORTS?~
So Was This Hartwell Woman Who
Tells Her Experience.
All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy
spells and that tired, depressed feel
ing. Thousands have found new
health and strength by helping the
weakened kidneys with Doan’s Pills
—-a stimulant diuretic. This Hart
well case is one of many:
Mrs. C. B. Graham, Jackson St.,
says: “My back was so weak I could
hardly stoop or straighten, and I had
a great deal of pain in the small
of it. My kidneys acted irregularly,
and my feet and ankles swelled. I
had headache and became nervous.
I It was about all I could do to get
I around the house to do my work, I
bought Doan’s Pills at Herndon’s
Drug Store and in a short time I
was relieved.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Graham had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

? THE GLAD GIRL
| By DOUGLAS MALLOCH ■
yOU know the girl—all laughter,
fun.
The life of ev’ry party, who
Can always answer ev’ryone,
Dares do what anyone will do,
Who sings when all the rest are dumb,
And —well, the girl who makes things
hum?
Young man —I want to ask you, sir—
She’s great, but would you marry her?
Life’s rather serious and sad.
It has Its problems, has its woe,
And more defeats a man has had
Than victories in life, I know;
And then a man will need a mate
Still undiscouraged, what his fate,
Who walks beside him the hill
And bravely takes the good or ill.
A wife, it always seems to me,
Should have some depth of char
acter ;
Whatever need his need may be.
A husband ought to find in her.
Faith, courage, judgment, tenderness.
That is the sort of wife to bless.
The best of wives for both their aalree- —
And that’s the .kind rite glad girl
makes.

JOSEPH LEIDY
JOSEPH LETDY was one of the fore
most naturalists of America, the
more remarkable because he was self
taught. Practically every bit of his
wonderful !•: w ledge of plants and
minerals ; nimnls, he acquired
himself wi.in ~i the aid of » teacher.
He whs born September 9, 1823, in
Philadelphia. It seems that he had
quite a talent for drawing and might,
had he followed his first ambition, have
become a well-known artist. At six
teen he left school and took u position
as a drug clerk. While lie was not
waiting on customers, he began study
ing botany and mineralogy and com
parative biology and such things and
learning so rapidly that he was admit
ted to III* University if Pennsylvania
and took his degree as a medical doc
tor when he was only twenty-one.
He went abroad and came to notice,
first, by his studies of terrestrial gus
teropolds. which, translated into every
day language, is the form of animal
life that crawls on its stomach. He
made soma valuable additions to sci
ence by his work on fossil horses
and was the only American author to
work on extinct vertebrata.
According to recent professors, his
most Important paleontological contri
bution to the knowledge of the world
was a paper on some vertebrate re
mains discovered In the phosphate beds
of South Carolina. In spite of the dry
ns-dust sound of his work, his re
searches led him Into many Interest
ing and romantic discoveries of dead
forms of life. He died In 1891.

U? HO SAID
“Generosity is the
flower of justice.”
=» c=-l
THESE words of Nathaniel Haw
thorne have a striking resemblance
to that famous speech delivered by
Portia in the court scene in "The Mer
chant of Venice.”
Portia is asking Shylock to be mer
ciful, and when he asks why, she re
plies :
Ths quality of mercy i» not strain'd.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from
heaven
Upon the place beneath; . . .
And earthly power doth then show
llkest God's
When mercy seasons justice . • •
Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of the
leading American literary figures, was
born In Salem, Mass., July 4, 1804. He
received his education In Bowdoln col
lege and graduated from that Institu
tion in 1825.
His literary work is the result of
the most careful study. Following his
graduation from college he lived a life
of retirement and devoted much time
to writing tales and sketches. Few
of these suited him and the majority
of them were - consigned to the fire.
The survivors appeared in the maga
zines and newspapers of the day.
Hawthorne’s romance “Fanshawe”
was published anonymously in 1832,
and In 1837 his "Twice-told Tales” ap
peared In book form. . This work re
ceived Its title from the fact that It
was a collection of articles that had
previously been published In periodi
cals, and thus was literally being
“told" for the second time.
Hawthorne's political offices con
sisted of being the customs officer of
the port of Boston; surveyor of the
port of Salem; and American consul
to Liverpool—*n appointment he re
ceived from his old college chum,
President Franklin Pierce.
Some of the best known works of
this author are, “Mosses from an Old
Manse,” "House of Seven Gables,”
and “The Scarlet Letter.” Hawthorne
died at Plymouth, N. H., May 18,
1864.—Wayne D. McMurray.

No one should ever for a moment
consider consulting an advertising

not advertise. Consult in Illness your
family doctor; he is your friend, and
If need be he will refer you to a spe

The privilege of living In a commu

the responsibility of doing your full

THE HEALTHMOBILE.
The State Board of Health, through
the co-operation of the Phi Mu Soror
ity and the various communities, has
been enabled to put the Healthmobile
back in service. The pity is that we
cannot have several of them In the
field all the time. There fa plenty of
work for it to do; the need Is in all
parts of Georgia.
The unit consists of a truck fitted
up as a complete physician’s office;
It has electric lights, fans, sterilizers,
moving picture machine, running
water and a complete set of diagnos
tic Instruments. It is In charge of
Dr. Alice Mora, of Columbus, Ga., a
nurse, Miss Beulah Fort, of Dublin,
and a chauffeur, of Adairsville. They
are now in the territory between Ma
con and Albany. They "work” the
counties as they come to them; each
community Is "worked" by a nurse as
advance agent. When all contacts are
made the local community takes the
responsibility of arranging the pub
licity, making plans for the various
communities an places that the Doc

Dr. Moses examines only children
under 7 years of age, mothers and
expectant mothers, the most Impor

It is hoped that every one will come
to realize that physical defects can
often be prevented by proper atten
tion to the Infant; at least, they
should be corrected early; no child
should be permitted to enter school
with a physical handicap that will be
a hindrance to the child and an extra
expense to the State. Dr. Moses is
doing her best to find these defects
and to encourage the parents to get
them corrected. We need a dozen Dr.
Moses’, one In each congressional dis
trict, doing this work from day to
day.
The cost to our educational system
in repeaters alone, due to the physi
cal handicaps of tonsils, teeth, eyes
and ears, la more than SIOO,OOO per
year. If tbls money were put in cor
rective measures, how much more
sensible, how much more common
sense we would show. From our ac
tlons we much prefer to neglect the
child, let it suffer, let it stumble along
through life and pay and pay and pay.
A business organization would not suf
fer or for a mom<-nt permit such a
loss.

cation Every evening, Sunday except

Small Water Creature
It Oddity of Nature
The little creature called the lunch
lot Is* slender and pointed at both end*
and not very easy to see, since it la
almost transparent and is ‘only from
an Inch and a half to two and a half
inches iu length.
It lives in shallow water and llkea
to stick Its head end Into the sand.
Into which it burrows with great
rapidity. It remains thus for a long
time with Its tall sticking out. When
on the surface of the water it Iles
on its side.
While It can neither see nor bear,
there Is reason for believing that It
possesses the sense of smell and taste.
Its egs are laid about sunset and the
larvae hatch out early the next morn
ing.
The lanceiot has no head. More
over, It has neither legs nor pairs of
fins It has a mouth, however, placed
at one end, which, therefore, may be
called the head end of the body.
It has a stomach, a very simple
form of liver and another simple or
gan which takes the place of a heart,
since It Is capable of contracting and
thus forcing lhe blood, which Is quite
colorless, forward to Uie area of the
gills, where It Is purified.—Review of

Evolution of Horse
Proved by Skeletor ?
Hclentlsts of a recent geological ex
pedltlon sent to Texas by the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History (New
York) have discovered In rocks more
than 1,000,000 years old the fossil skel
eton of a horse In one of Its ancestral
stages of evolution.
In the evolution of the horse the
newly found specimen represents an
Intermediate stage between the type
called Pllohlppus and the early Ice-age
horse called Equus. It Is smaller than
the modern horse.
While yie fpssU horse discovered Is
almost the Earliest one-toed horse,
lorqj before the day of Pllohlppus
there bad existed quite a» number of
more primitive or less evolved forms
of the horse.
For example, if we go back to the
Eocene epoch, when the ancestor of
the horse was no larger than a cat.
we discover that he had four toes on
his fore feet and three on his hind
feet. The subsequent evolution of the
horse Is most clearly marked by the
gradual loss of all of these toes, ex
cept the single toe on which our mod
ern horses walk.
Fisherman’* Luck.
The fisherman was sittiing on a

“What’s that?” queried the fisher
man.
“Your wife running away and leav
ing you.”
“A worse thing’s happened since
then,” was the reply.
“What’s that?” asked the friend.
“She’s come back!”
