State School Commissioner Merritt has received a letter from County School Commissioner B. D. I \y il of Wayne county stating that many of the teachers in that county have been victimized by book agents the same as in the case of Appling county teachers. The teachers were offered an encyclopedia which they declined to buy, but obligingly furnishing their addresses on blanks presented by the book agents, found out later to their astonishment that they had signed promissory notes.

Rose & Co., liquor dealers of Atlanta, who were charged with selling liquor illegally in Bartow county, it is said that a prohibition fight will be brought on immediately. In an interview given to the press, Judge Fite closed with the following legal statement, after discussing the legal phase of the matter: ‘The best thing for us to do now is to again submit the question to the people, which should be done as soon as practicable. I have no doubt that we will do as we did in 1884- vote the sale of whiskey out ot the county-, and that, too, by an over whelming majority.” Editors Wiii Go to Jamestown.

Or, do you want to know something of the composition and character of that which you take into your stomach whether as food or medicine ? Most intelligent and sensible people now-a-days insist on knowing what they employ whether as food or as medicine. Dr. Pierce believes they have a perfect right to insist upon such knowledge. So he publishes.'-taaadeast and on each bottle wranper, whatjrnrtnedjcinos are made of This_he feels he can wMlXiford to do hpcanse the more tT7e_ ingredients of which his melicines are~ma.de are studied and understood the* more - will Their superior cn rally>TvTrflies be qjynrecla CecC~’ For the cure of woman’s peculiar weak nesses, irregularities and derangements, giving rise to frequent headaches, back ache, dragging-down pain or distress in lower abdominal or pelvic region, accom panied, ofttimes, with a debilitating, pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp toms of weakness, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a most efficient remedy. It is equally effective in curing painful periods, in giving strength to nursing mothers and in preparing the system of the expectant mother lor baby’s coming, thus rendering childbirth safe and com paratively painless. The 'Tavorite Pre scription” is a most potent, strengthening tonic to the general system and to the organs distinctly feminine in particular. It is also a soothing and invigorating nervine and cures nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea or St. Vitus’s dance, and other distressing nervous symptoms at tendant upon functional and organic dis eases of the distinctly feminine organs. A host of medical authorities of all the several schools of practice, recommend each of the several ingredients of which "Favorite Prescription” is made for the cure of the diseases for which it is claimed to be a cure. You may read what they say for yourself by sending a postal card request for a free booklet of extracts from the leading authorities, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical In stitute, Buffalo, N. Y., and it will come to you by return post. Trying to Knight a Sweep. The visit of the King and Queen tc Burton-on-Trent recalls a story that has been told for generations past in Burton, but which is so good that it is worth repeating. During the latter years of the eigh teenth century, when George 111. was King, the Regent happened to visit Burton, and being in an excellent humor with himself, and also with Burton, he wished to knight somebody in honor of the occasion, and that somebody the first man he could lay hands ou. A chimney sweep named Saltinstall happened to be the near est person to the Regent when he formed his hasty resolution, and re gardless of tlje soot that came out of the man’s clothing he seized the sweep and told him he would knight him. The man was too scared to utter a word, but as the Regent w’as call ing for a sword with which to confer the honor the Marquis of Anglesey, the Regent’s host, pointed out that his solicitor, John Fowler, was a worthy recipient of the honor. The Regent was, after some demur, persuaded to alter his hasty decision; the sweep was only too pleased to get away, and Sir John Fowler worked a comfort able practice for many years, which still continues. —London Daily Mail. Unpeeled Fowls. A Philadelphia settlement worker tells of two fresh air fund children who gazed in some wonder at a num ber of live chickens running about the place in the country to which the youngsters were taken. “Haven’t you ever seen chickens before?” asked the kind woman in charge of the expedition. “Oh, yes, mum,” answered the eld est child knowingly, “we seen lots of ’em; only it was after they was peeled.”—Harper’s Weekly. APPENDICITIS Not at all Necessary to Operate in Many Cases. Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit. Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels. Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the di gestive machinery—also tends to form cakes in the cecum. (That’s the blind pouch at entrance to the ap pendix). A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived on milk for awhile—then Grape- Nuts and got well without an opera tion. She says; "Five years ago while at school, I suffered terribly with constipation and indigestion.” (Too much starch, white bread, potatoes, etc., which she did not digest.) “Soon after I left school I had an attack of appendicitis and for thirteen weeks lived on milk and water. When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until a friend recom mended Grape-Nuts. “When I began to eat Grape-Nuts I weighed 98 lbs., but I soon grew to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now I am like a new person.” (A little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot water or milk would have been much better for this case than milk alone, for th? starchy part of the wheat and barley is changed into a form of digestible sugar in making Grape-Nuts.)
