Mrs. H. R. Peavy, R, F. D, No, 6,
says: “I was in bad shape with my
kidneys and just about able to keep
up, I suffered from dizziness -and
black spots floated before my eyes.
My kidneys didn’t act right, There
was a dull ache in the small of my
back and, at times, a sharp pain shot
through it, I tried other remedies,
but didn't get much relief. One box
of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me,
This was several years ago and since
then I have only had to take Doan’s
a few times.”

have any trouble now, but if I have
the least sign of kidney complaint,

MUSEUM GETS RARE RUGS
Once Used to Wrap Around Pillars in
the Orient, They Are Now
in Philadelphia.
N Mongol pillar rugs, recently pur
chased by the Pennsylvania museum,
have been hung in the Memorial hall,
Fairmount park, in the north corridor;
one pair at the entrance to the Wil
stach gallery, one pair at the entrance
to the Silver room and the third pair
at the entrance of the section devoted
to musical instruments. These rugs
were once bound about the wooden
pillars of Mongol lamaseries or
temples, and in several of the mu
seum examples the woolen lashings
which bound them are still there. Pos
sibly textile decoration for pillars fol
lowed carving, which would account
for persistence of design, as these rugs
could have been intended for no other
purpose. In one palr, at least, the de
slgn becomes meaningless when spread
flat, for the dragons which coil about
the pillar appear cut off in three sep
arate pieces, which meet exactly when
the edges are joined,
The Chinese Huen Tsang, traveling
to India in the first half of the
Seventh century, says that the pavi
lions of the monastery of Nelanda
were upborne by pillars ornamented
with dragons, The burial chambers of
the kings, with thelr antechambers,
have been uncovered from the mounds
of earth which were heaped about
them, and on the stone walls are fresco
paintings. The doorway from the outer
to the inner chamber of one of these
royal tombs is flanked on either side
by an octagonal column on which are
painted coiled dragons, no doubt In
reminiscence of earlier carved up
rights. The next step, for particularly
nomad people, was to render the same
design for a similar purpose in textile
fabrie to be lashed to the post.—Phila
delphia Record.
FRENCH CITY IN THE DESERT
Little Township of ishmaila Has Been
Made Place Where Beauty Abides
Beside Desolation,
Sir fan Malcolm, PBritish govern
ment representative on the Suez canal
board, gives a charming description of
the luxurious little township of Ish
malia, which is the headquarters of
the compuny. 'The executive of the
undertaking s practically entirely
French, and therefore it is not surpris
ing to learn that behind a broad belt
of tall trees and waving palms one
finds a town that is purely French in
atmosphere ‘(m(] mann.guuum_
“Here is the residence, where 1 am
now staying with M. Jennart, the presi
dent; buildings, schools, shops, are all
French, in fact you feel that you are
living in a smart French seaside resort,
where roses, violets and strawberries
abound throughout the year, but if you
€0 a mile im any direction from the
lake you come to the end of civiliza
tion and are faced by the desert.”
This lake, the Large Bitter lake, is
more than ten miles long, and was at
one time part of the Red sea, but for

Goats with an appetite that permit
them to relish leather pockethooks

a goat with a sense of humor should

offered to the Venice (Cal.) police one
afternoon by a young woman, visiting
in Del Rey from Ohio, when she ap
pealed at police headquarters for heip
in finding the owner of a “billy” thai
she caught chewing her purse. She
laid the pocketbook on the bank of a
canal with her shoes and stockings
while she paddled her feet in the wa
ter. She said that the animal had
eaten two $5 bills that were In the
purse, besides devouring her shoe
laces. “When I came running toward

smiled and kicked my shoes and stock

Removing Moss From Canals,
When moss grows in canals, it soon
causes trouble. Yet how to remove 1t?
George E. Stratton of the United
States reclamation service offers sev
eral suggestions., If there is plenty of
time, the canal can be dried out; the
sun will kill the mossy growth., when
the moss is stiff, submarine saws will
cut it,
Dragging the bottom with a harrow
is sometimes resorted to, but a chain
is more effective, Thirty-five miles of ‘

was the taking of money from Con

sausage and substituting gold. This
ruse succeeded because the robbers

STRENGTH OF ORANG-OUTANG
If Properly Braced, It Is Said the Ani.
mal “Can Easily Bend Aimost
Anything.” Z
The strength of a full-grown orang:
outang is enormous. I have seen one
bend a 1-inch steel bar as though it
were made of rubber. If he can brace
himself properly, with plenty of room
to exert his entire strength, he can
bend almost anything; but between
bending a bar and breaking a rope by
pulling, there is a great deal of dif
ference. A rattan rope will hold him,
though a simple menagerie cage may
not give him any more trouble thap
& paper hoop.
The strength of the orang-outang, or
“wild man,” as the name means in
Malay, is largely in his arms. The
arms of a mias—the breed that we
were after in Borneo—measure ten
feet or more from tip to tip. The mias
type, which is next in size to the goril
la, is somewhat larger than the or.
dinary breed. It is distinguished by
a darker color and by folds of skip
at each side of the face. Its body,
from shoulders to hips, is abput the
size of a man's. It has short, unde
veloped legs, long fingers and thumbs
that are mere stubs.
An orang-outang never travels on
the ground when he can swing from
tree to tree, and, since there are very
few open spaces in the jungle, he
seldom reaches ground except when he
goes down to get something, He can
swing incredible distances, hurtling
through the air and catching branches
with perfeet accuracy.
Orang-outangs usually live in col
onies numbering from 40 to 60, and the
largest and most powerful is chief,
They muke their homes on platforms
in the branches of trees and they build
the platforms by breaking off limbs
and putting them crisscross, In mating
season the male and female live to
gether, but the couples separate after
the young are born. The mother takes
care of them and the father goes off
about his business.—Charles Mayer ip
Asia Magazine.
INSECTS MAKE LEAVES ‘WALK’
Queer Creatures Responsible for Odd
Belief That Has Long Been Held
in Australia,
There are some strange leaves in
Australia which the people used to
think could walk alone., Whenever
there came a gust of wind these queer
leaves blew off In a perfect shower.
As leaves generally do, they turned
over and over, and rested upon the
grnug(l.‘ xl'Leu _t})ey would seem to
ciawl toward the frunk of the tree
from which they fell. Since that time
it has been found that these leaves,
as they were thought to be, were real
insects and lived upon those . 'very
trees. Their bodies are thin and flat
and their wings veined, just like a
leaf. 1f they are disturbed their legs,
which are folded away under their
bodies, leave their whole shape ex
actly like the leaf of a tree, with stem
and all. Bright green in the summer,
these singular little insects, chame
leon-like, slowly change their color to
a dingy brown, just like a lgu_f t}xqt
ag been frosted, It is strange that,
g\'lfil mg:, tlxey do not %;, but rath

Queen Liked Her Ale Strong.
The City of London Brewery com
pany, whose premises are offered for
sale, claim to be the only brewery in
the city of London existing from the
time of Queen Elizabeth, and it is
quite possible that tle queen occasion
ally sampled their brew. Elizabeth
was a specialist in ale. She liked it
strong, as witness the plaintive note
her host, the earl of Leicester, sent to
Lord Burleigh: “There is not one
drop of good drink for her here. We
were fain to send to London and
Kenilworth and divers other places
where ale was; her own beer was so
strong that there was no man able to
drink it.” a
Testing Material in Cloth,
Mixtures of cotton and wool may
be tested by raveling a bit of cloth
and burning two of the threads, one
running with the selvage, the other
crosswise to it. The cotton thread
burns quickly with a flame and smells
like wood; wool chars slowly without
a flame and smells like burning hair.
Shoddy, or remanufactured wool, is
often used with wool. This can be
detected by raveling out a bit of the
material, when short broken fibers
may be seen, In general, a woolen
material which has cotton in it will
become more wrinkled when wet than
all-wool goods.
Ancient Zoological Gardens. ’
Records show that King Nezahual-‘
coyotl had zoological gardens in Tez
cuco, Mexico, In the middle of the Fif
teenth century, and in the next cen
tury Cortez found aviaries and fish
ponds at Iztapalapan. Montezuma 11,
emperor of Mexico in the beginning of
the Sixteenth century, had large col
lections of animals in the gardens of
his capital. 5 ‘
Almost all of the modern zoologica}
gardens date from comparatively re
cent years, and contain large collec
tions of fine animals, more suitably
housed than at any time in the his
tory of the world.

Huntington Man Says Is Was Wis
est Thing He Ever Did When
_ He Got Her Tanlac
“I don’t believe my wife could
have lived much longer if she hadn’t
started taking Tanlac and I give it
full credit for saving her life,” said
M. H, Curtis, 7 Third Avenue, Hunt
ington, W est Va.
“My wife had such a bad case of
indigestion that her food would sour
on her stomach and she would bloat
up and have awful cramping spells.
Her kidneys worried her continually
and she complained of her back
aching nearly all the time.
“Her liver was sluggish and she
was subject to spells of biliousness,
She suffered from constipation, had
severe headaches and attacks of diz
ziness, her nerves were unstrung and
many a night she has walked the
floor for hours, Her condition be
came so critical I had to send her
to the hospital, but before long she
was worse off than ever,
“It was at this time that I per
suaded her to try Tanlac and that
was the wisest thing I ever did in
my life, Tonay she is the very pic
ture of health and to look at her you
wouldn’t think she was ever sick a!
day in her life. She eats whatever
she likes and has picked up in wcightl

the housework with ease and says she |

AUMEROUS SUGGESTED
‘ REFORMS FACES ASSEMBLY
ATLANTA, May 23.—The gener
al assembly faces a hard task this
summer,
In addition to the necessity oi
making several necessary changes
in legislation already cnacted, the
lawmakers will have many proposed
reforms awaiting their consideration.
The greatest problem facing the
state this year is the tax laws and
their relation to revenue. To show
the character of the recommenda
tions the legislators will have to!
consider it is only necessary to refer
to those of Comptroller General Wil
liam A, Wright and Tax Comr.nis-}
sioner Henry J, Fullbright, |
General Wright is reputed to have
more influence relative to tax ques
tions with the general assembly
than any other state official,
Time and again, the comptroller’s
opinions has been known to kill
prospective tax legislation when it
was being considered in committee
meetings. As an official who has
studied Georgia's tax problems for
many years, undoubtedly his recom
mendations on this subject will be
given serious consideration,
Comptroller’s Plans
Briefly, the comptroller has rec
ommended that the borrowing power
of the governor be increased to such
an amount as will enable him to
meet the payment of appropriations
early in the yegr, At present, the
chief executive is limited to borrow
ing $500,000 a year and with the
state’s revenues beginning to pour
into the treasury, about the fifth or
sixth month, it is impossible to meet
appropriations without outside aid,
Opposition to the passage of an
income tax is voiced by General
Wright, who takes the position that
it would amount to a double system
of taxation and advises that the
state continue the ad valorem and
uniformity of the tax measures of
the constitutions.
On the other hand, Commissioner
Fullbright, in his annual report to
the legislature, makes the following
recommendations which have been
endorsed by a number of legislators:
With such a board, Mr. Fullbright
proposes the repeal of all laws reg
ulating arbitration between the com
missioner, the comptroller general
and the tax-payers, through assessors,
Such a move, states the commission
er, will result in bringing all classes
of tax-payers, finally under the same
authority.
Ad to these suggestions those
of Governor-elect Hardwck and
various leaders, and the comphi
cated task of the general assembly
is realized.
