Thousands of women have found that the use of Mother’s Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents “morning sickness,** and other dis- comforts of this period.

CUBANS PETITION FOR ANNEXATION Commercial and Producing Class Favor It. WHY YOUNG MEN TURN FROM MINISTRY HAVANA, October 21.—(Special)— A petition presented by the Aragon League to Governor General Magoon expresses the universal dissatisfac tion of the commercial and producing classes with present conditions, and, In veiled fashion, ask3 for annexation, the phrase *free Interchange between the two countries” meaning that The feeling of commercial ill-being and political uneasiness Is growing dally, and the only possible solution of the problem would be a clear de finition of American policy. Governor Magoon has won the favor of the la boring classes, but has made the pro ducers desperate. Stomach troubles. Heart and Kid ney ailments, can be quickly cor rected with a prescription known to druggists everywhere as Or. Shoop’s Restorative.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, October 21.— The allurements of commercial life and fear of the “ministerial dead line” are assigned as reasons for the alarming decrease In the number of young men entering the ministry by the Congregational National Council, which held its final meeting here Thursday. . 'The greed for tho dollar Is drag ging our young men Into commercial life to the detriment of the ministry,” said Dr. C. L. Morgan of Illinois. We cannot blame young men It they do not venture their own lives and their families in such a precarious career as the ministry affords.” Dr. William Park, of Chicago, said that, the fear of losing their pastora tes, after they reach middle age, de terred many who would otherwise en ter the ministry. “It is the cry everywhere for young men. It is thl smlnlsterlal dread line that holds men back." Seed Oats for Sale. I offer 700 bushels genuine Texas Rust Proof Oats, 85 cents, f. o. b., Leslie, Ga. Address W. H.

What Our Reporter Saw In New York A recent visit to one of the largest paint factories in the world, disclos ed machinery that was producing 10,000 gallons of paint, and doing it better and In less time t)pm 1001 gallons could be made by hand mix ing. This was the celebrated L & M. Paint The L. & 51. Zinc hardens L. & M. White Lead and makes L. & M. Paint wear like iron for 10 to 15 years. 4 gallons L & M mixed with 3 gal lons Linseed Oil makes 7 gallons of paint at a cost of less than $1.20 per gallon. If any defect exists In L. & M. Paint will repaint house for noth ing. Donations of L. & M. made to chur ches. Sold by Geo. Oliver, Amerlcus, Georgia. -I “To whip or not to whip” Is not agitating the pedagogues of Amerl- cus. They now whip, have always whip ped, and will doubtless continue to whip Into the lndeflhite future. From New York to Savannah, from Atlanta to Chicago, the school direc tors and teachers are discussing the question as to whether corporal pun ishment shall be restored In the pub lic schools. The opinion seems to be decidedly in favor of a return to the old time rod as a corrective of the unruly. In New York and Savannah, where the agitation has ' assumed considerable public Importance and awakened un usual Interest, it Is probable that the thrashing of boys will be resumed at an early period. "In Amerlcus the good old rulo of whipping those who deserve It has never been abolished,” said Supt Miller yesterday to a Tlmes-Recorder representative. “Do I believe In whipping? Yes, certainly do. There Is no otibr way of correcting an unruly boy satisfac torily. Parents, as a general rule, ore not opposed to a proper use of the rod in the public schools when a boy misbehaves to such a point that it Is cither pecessary to whip him or suspend him.” “Is the rod used much?” Supt. Mil ler was asked. "Don’t call It a rod. It’s only switch off of some convenient tree, the crop garnered by the Janitor. No, I don’t think wo wear out many switches In a term. The mdre fact that the teachers have the authority, aud generally the ability, to whip the disobedient, tends to keep the boys In order. It is seldom that the teacher is called on to resort to ex treme measures.” “How about the girls?” "Well, the girls are not whipped. When a girl reaches the point that it Is Impossible to maintain discipline without severe measures being re sorted to she Is sent home and her parents notified. It Is their province then to punish the. child In such way as will protect the school. "But I must say that the schools of Amerlcus have little trouble with the children. I doubt if 700 children could be gathered together anywhere who give as little trouble as ours do. Hot stuff heaters burn wood trash. SIIEFFIELD-HUNTINGTOX CO.

Sometimes the rod should not be spared and the child saved from future rebellious conduct and dis grace.” A weak stomach, causing dyspep sia, a weak heart with palpitation or Intermittent pulse, always means weak stomach nerves or weak heart nerves.
