Will Undo Much Evil
By Dr. V. M. Pierce
Knowing the vast amount of harm
wrought by diseases of the kidneys, and
having had opportunity to observe the
analyses and the successful methods of
treatment in thousands of cases of kid
ney trouble at the Invalids' Hotel, 1

latest and perhaps most important of
the Dr. P ierce home remedies, ‘‘An
uric'’ (anti-uric-acid) Tablets, which
1 now recommend to those who suffer
-with kidney backache, irregularity of
urination and the pains and disturbances
that come from excess of uric acid in
the blood.
“An-uric” can he had now at all the
drug stores. The mere drinking of a
cup of hot water each morning and a
little “An-uric” before every meal
should bring remarkably quick improve
ment. You may have kidney trouble
and not know it. The danger signals
to be watched for and quickly heeded
are backache, depression, aches, pains,
heaviness, drowsiness, dizziness, irrita
bility, headaches, chilliness, rheumatic
twinges, swollen joints, gout,

Disciplined
by Their New
Schoolmaster
By J. B. AYRES
((&. JS24. Western Newspaper Union.)
THE f/irmer looked nt the slim, be
spectacled young man In front of
liltn and gnve a contemptuous grunt.
“So you’re the new schoolmaster of
Four Corners!” he said. “Yes, I guess
I can hoard you. I boarded the last
three schoolmasters. My terms la
twenty dollars u month, payable In
advance.”
“Why In advance?” Inquired Mr.
i Pendleton quietly.
J “Because you won't last a month,"
I answered Silas I’rettyman. “None of
I 'em does.”
j In spite of his anticipations, Mr.
Pendleton’s henrt sank as he took his
I place at the desk.
The school consisted of hoys and
girls of all nges, from Jim Smith, a
husky youth of some twenty years,
who was still struggling over the mys
teries of long division, and Miss Susie
Connor, a farmer's daughter, who tit
tended principally to be a sort of ma
tron to the little ones, down to the
staid little ones of seven and eight
years.
It was after school on that day that
Smith came Insolently t’p to Pendle
ton.
“Say, you're the one-lunger, ain’t
you?” he asked. “We don’t want to
he hard on a feller what's only got one
lung. So I’tn going to make tilings
easy for you. If you act right. Under
stand?”
Before Pendleton had recovered
front his surprise, Smith had slouched
away, leaving the young man gasping
at his pupil's audacity.
“No eorp’ral punishment," was the
slogan In Four Corners, which prided
Itself on bcdiiß an enlightened commu
nity. Hut, oven If such n method of
discipline had been permitted, how
would If have been enforced?
The question was prompted by the
pandemonium that followed upon Mr.
Pendleton’s resolute rejection of Jlra
Smith’s proposition.
Smith lounged Insolently In his seat;
Smith talked with his neighbors and
contemptuously refused to recite Ids
lessons.
“I told yor what it would he If you
didn't do ns I said,” lie explained to
Mr. Pendleton, when the schoolmaster
remonstrated with him privately. “(let
out of the school? Say, yer crazy.
What’d I get out for when I'm having
the time of tny tlfe here?"
There was one tiling that kept the
school master to Ills work. That was
Susie Connor. A strong attachment
had begun to down between the young
man and the pretty country lass.
“If I wore you, Horace," she said
one day—they had begun unconscious
ly to call each other by their first
names —”1 would try to make a real
school here.”
On the next day Smith cast aside
all pretense at discipline. Ills re
marks—made In class —were brief and
pointed.
"You're sweet on her," he sold, In
dicating the girl, whose face was man
tled with red. "She’s my gal. Mr.
Schoolmaster understand? And I
won’t have any miserable, measly in
terloper coming here fooling round
Susie."
Mr. Pendleton had been aware thnt
Smith had n calf-llke attachment for
the girl, hut It had never occurred to
him to take him seriously.
He looked up hopelessly, and he
saw a strange look In Susie's eyes. He
could not help interpreting it aright.
It said: "Are you man w'.p to pre
vent my being Insulted and to stand
up for me?"
"Mean that, Smith?" asked Mr. Pen
dleton, leaving his desk and crossing
the floor.
Smith leaped at him with a bellow.
"Ah, sure’” lie mimicked. "You’ve
had your day, Mr. Schoolmaster, and
now you cun git, because this school
won’t open any more so long as you’re
In this town, you snivelling hound."
"Smith.” said Horace Pendleton,
"yon are n bad hoy and you have the
makings of a bad man in you. Do you
see that switch In the corner? Go
and bring It to me."
The lout stared at him incredulous
ly; then, with swinging arms, be
rushed at him. Next moment, he
found himself lying on the floor.
The schoolmaster yanked him front
the floor and grasped hint with one
hand by the collar. And Smith crept
to the corner —then, with a wild yell
threatening vengeance, he had burst
out of the door and was running in the
direction of his home.
“This will mean good-by. Susie,"
said the young schoolmaster, after the
wide-eyed, respectful class had been
dismissed.
But when he reached bis home Silas
ITettymun was waiting for him with
a hearty handclasp.
"I wouldn’t hn' believed it of you,”
he exclaimed. "Why, It's atl over the
town and everybody’s saying ns how
we can begin to have a real school.
You —little —whlppersnappert I.et me
feel your arm. Gosh almighty, where
did you git tbnt?"
"Oh. I used to he lightweight boxer
at Yale," answered the schoolmaster,
cheerfully. “But how about the cor
poral punishment rule. Farmer?"
ITettymun grinned. “Say. young
feller." ho said, "the man who wins
out makes his own rules In general.
An' I want to put In the first bid for
boarding you and Suste till you get
yohr house fixed. Thirty-five a month,
LtTl be —and you needn't pay in ad

INFANT HYGIENE WORK
GIVEN ENDORSEMENT
The recent General Assembly, among
other good things, gave Its endorse
ment to the federal aid In Maternity
and Infant Hygiene by appropriating
$5,000.00 to the State Board of Health
to he matched by the federal
appropriation, making $10,000.00 for
our State in this work. The bill
was one that was sponsored by the
various women’s organizations anrl in
troduced by Mrs. Napier, of Bibb; she
worked for the bill constantly. Owing
to a clerical error this money was
not made available for this year, as
the hill called for the appropriation
for 1924 in the body of the hill, but
in the caption it said ”1925.” The At
torney General ruled that the caption
of the bill, being the index to the
hill, would hold and not the body of
the hill. Georgia is thankful for this
small amount, hut, when we think that
over $24,000 is in the vault at Wash-
Ington awaiting our call, it looks very
small. Compared with the $48,000 we
could have, it looks smaller still when
we look at the need for the work, es
pecially when we consider that of all
the babies born in our state one-third
of them are not attended by a phy
sician, and again when we consider
that one third of all our deaths are
under fifteen years of age. Again,
the total sum that is due us under this
law seems imperative when we know
that every day two mothers give up
their lives in our state that another
soul may be born. Oh, the need, the
need of money and work; education
of our masses, the saving of mothers
and babies!
The necessity of mother care and
infant care has taken hold of some
of our citizens, and now we have the
promise of doing more than ever in our
state.
A special appropriation has been
made in Athens for a nurse for ma
ternity and pro-school work, Colum
bus one, Augusta three, Savannah two
and Macon three. All of this money
has been turned over to the State
Board of Health, who, in turn, put up
an equal amount and will supervise the
work of those ten nurses, as well as
the six who will be employed by the
Board for work in rural sections. The
nurses employed by the State Board
will be used principally In giving in
struction to midwives. This is a
much-needed work; it gives great
promise of much good.
The Georgia Medical Association,
with Hr. J. O. Elrod as its president,
is lending its organization to this par
ticular phase of the work. It is really
pioneer work, as up to this good time
nothing has ever been attempted along
this line. Rules and regulations are
now being perfected and lessons pre
pared. The nurses, in co-operation
with the members of the Medical Asso
ciation, will call the midwivee to the
county seat and demonstrate to them
the rules of cleanliness and the signs
of danger. This will of necessity be a
slow process, and several years will
bo consumed in the perfecting of the
w'ork, as the present midwife is, as a
rule, without education or training of
any sort; many times she cannot read
or write. She is a necessity and fills
her place. She naturally wants to do
right, and for the first time in our
state she is to have a chance to go
to school and learn especially the
things she ought not to do.
The need is great; the task is great;
the aid of our physicians is great;
the urge is great; the money to do
with it SO SMALL!
Question of Food
Very Important
Pellagra occasionally occurs in
Georgia; in fact, we are having more
deaths from this disease than we
should. It is easily preventable; no
medicine is required, only proper food,
and that food principally milk, with a
liberal allowance of fresh meats. A
varied diet is necessary. Proper food
arrests the disease if not far advanced.
The State Board of Health will be glad
to supply diet lists to those interested,
and be of auy assistance possible If
you will write them at 131 Capitol
Square, Atlanta. The question of food
is always important, but especially so
tn certain diseases.

Land of Romance
The details of the story of the Aen
dlans have been carefully recorded
and cherished by Nova Scotians. Every
landmark mentioned by Longfellow in
“Evangeline” Is being preserved, and
everything associated with the Aea
dians is treasured. At Grand Pre is
being created the Acadian Memorials’
park in the center of the old-time vil

priest’s house, the church and the long
row of willows which still line the
street will he included in it.

the Acadians came, a small chape! of

plot within the Inclosure of the park,
says the Detroit News.
Solving the Problem
There litis been a good deal of ar
gument about the way the young peo
ple carried on in the town square
these evenings. Many of the city fa
thers thought it a public scandal, but
they didn’t have a big enough appro
priation to employ special police.
The village halfwit, however, felt
that he could solve the problem, lie
offered to do it for a can of black
paint and two dollars. One of the
town fathers was rush enough to fur
nish these requisites.
Next day the town was electrified
to see that all the “No Parking” signs
roundabout the square had, by the in
sertion of an “S” before the second
word, become effective warnings to ro
mantic youth.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Character in the Pencil
“Can character he rend from the
type of pencil one uses?” asks Popu
lar Mechanics Magazine. According
to one expert the answer is yes. Men
are usually attracted by the lead and
women by the outside coloring, he
says. Persons of strong character
know just what they want and will
not he satisfied with anything else in
buying, while weak characters adjust
themselves to the first pencil offered
them. Conservative people, who are
used to certain pencils, demand what
they have always had. Cautious folk
wish to try out a pencil exclusively
before purchasing it. Freak pencils
are said to be much in demand.
Rocks for a Park
At the registry office in Bath,
Maine, there is recorded a deed from
the United States to the state of
Maine of Sugar Loaf islands at the
mouth of tlie Kennebec. The deed
says that these islands shall be used
for park purposes, and in tlie event
of their being used for any other pur
pose the title shall revert to the Unit
ed States. But the islands are a cou
ple of large rocks each about 200 feel
long. A good deal of their area is
devoid of growth, while on the rest
shrubs, grass and a few small trees
struggle for life.—Exchange.
