Do, you know how—
To find „qulck relief fro mbackache;
To correct distressing urinary Ills;
To surely cure sick kidneys?
Just one way—your neighbors
know—
Have used Drfan’s Kidney Pills;
Have proved their worth In many
tests. •
Here’s Macon testimony.
R. H. Hines, 168 High street, Ma
con. Ga., says: "My advice to any
ono suffering from kidney trouble is
to procure Doan’s Kidney Pills from
the TAjrlor-Bayne Drug Company and
give them a trial. Hcveral years ngo
was afflicted with this complaint.
There were dull heavy pains across
my back and loins which destroyed
my rest at night, and had a tendency
to run down my health. My kidneys
were quite frenuent In action and tho
secretions contained a heavy sedi
ment. After physicians and the use
of several remedies had failed to give
me relief, I was fortunate enough to
learn of Doan’s Kidney Pills and be-
n using them. They stopped th*
■ kadis and rendered tho kidneys to
heaftby condition. Hlnce then I
have tt it.slued free from any trouble
of the sort and have always t&ktn
Pleasure In recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills when an opportunity has
presented Itself”

ITALIAN COLONY IS
WORRIED OVER NEWS
APPREHENSIVE LEST THEIR REL
ATIVES AND FRIENDS IN SIGILY
PERISHED IN THE EARTHQUAKE
OF MONDAY.
Tho news of tho Inundation and an
nihilation of southwest Italy, Includ
ing tho provinces of Coscnzn, Catan-
zaro and Reggio dl Calabria, by tidal
wave and earthquake, Is Interesting,
but sad intelligence) to the colony of
Italians at the Bibb mills. It will bo
recalled that these are the people that
came to Macon about a year and a lmlf
ago to cast tho!r lot In the land of tho
free, and for tho short time that 1 they
have been residing here all hqyo con
ducted themselves on nn upright plane
and have shown by their hard work
that they are the typo of citizens that
tho south is always glad to welcome
In the development of Its Inexhuustlblo
resources.
All of these people aro from tho
abovo named provinces and pro deep
ly concerned' over the many relatives
they left at home. Each, aiid overy
ono has a brother, .sister, mother, fath
er or somo relative In .the stricken
territory. Owing to the meager, but
authentic and confirmed details of
the death and destruction, nnd the
cutting ofT of telegraphic communica
tion, It will be. pomp days before they
will be able to learn anything In regard
to their loved ones. Tho dispatches
state that the destruction wrought will
outrivn! that ' which' made a barren
waste of, and completely, destroyed
Pom-pell nnd Herculaneum, some nine
teen centuries ago. Tho principal dis
turbance seems to be centered around
Mount Etna, nn Inactive volcano which
is 9.652 feet high.
Mr. Bemadetto, who keeps n store
on Mulberry, between Third nnd Fourth
streets, has a daughter nnd Hon-In
law In tho affected district. Mr. and
Mrs. Louis Lanzo, the former n re
porter for the Italian newspaper of
New Orleans. They left Macon about
two months ngo to visit relatives at
Ceram I, near Messina, the latter a city
of 80,000 populatton. Mrs. Bemadetto
Is very 111 here and having received
no news from her daughter since the
catastrophe, the anxiety for her wel
fare la very keen.
WINTER’S WOOD ANO
HOW TOJUI SUPPLY
STATE FORESTER I88UES TIMELY
BULLETIN RELATIVE TO FOR
EST PRESERVATION.
ATHENS, Ga., Dec. 20—Forester Al
fred Ackerman Is the author of bulle
tin No. 13 Issued by the StatM College
of Agriculture. It follows:
Most fanners find It ■ convenient to.
cut their supply of fire wood-during the
winter months. The removal of this
fire wood may mean so much drain or
so much Improvement of the farmer’s
woods, depending on how the work is
done. Generally our farmers are not
careful enough about the tre6s that
they tako for fire w«»od, taking pret
ty much everything that comes to
hand. In this.way trees thut would
develop Into valuable saw timber are
often sacrificed when Inferior trees
would answer the purpose Just hm
well. As far as practicable the firo
wood should com»i from the dead,
crooked, diseased and suppressed trees,
and the thrifty, straight, sound trees
should be saved for saw timber. When
lumber at Its present prices, it is
little short of sin to cut up for cord
wood trees that bring now, or wiy In
a ftw years, two or three times os
much for lumber as for cord wood.
Moreover, there are often many dif
ferent kinds of trees In the farm«*r*s
woods. Borne are more valuable than
others. For IgrtiBM blekerjr, white
oak, yellow poplar, chestnut, locust ond
ash are worth more for lumber than
black jack, red oak, red maple, sweat
gum, black gum, and the like. There,
fore, these less valuable traes should
be used as far as practicable for fuel
and the othera should be saved for
posts, poles, and lumber.
This selection not only saves the
better trees of the better kinds for
the higher uses, hut It makes more
room for the better trees to grow.
They grow faster and develop better
st< in* when they do not have to com
pete with a lot of Inferior trees.
Every stick of fir© wood removed
from the wood* this winter ought to

ROOT PROMOTER
PENALREFORMS
Secretary Urges Apprecia
tion For The World’s
Prison Congress.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29—Secretary
Root. In tho best sense of the word, Is
an international promoter. He has
promoted the cause of peace nnd arbi
tration; he has promoted friendly and
commercial relations with tho South
American ropubllcs—not by letter
merely, but by making a tour of that
continent in person. And now ho is
official promoter of a great Interna
tional enterprise, which is philosophic
and human.
The International Prison Congress nn
organization as wide In its scope us
tho International Tuberculosis • Con
gress, is coming to this country In
1910, and Secretary Root has asked
congress for $50,000 to show the Euro
pean delegates some of the best things
achieved In tho United States In im
proved methods of dealing with crime.
It’s an interesting history, that of the
International Prison Congress.
Nearly 40 years ngo tho United States
became its legal and natural father. In
1871 the congress of the United* States
became a missionary body nnd started
out to do a little world-wide good. It
passed a resolution authorizing the
president to send abroad a commls
sloncr to gain the co-operation of Eu
ropean governments In holding an In
ternational congress for discussion of
all matters relating to prevention and
treatment of crime, and President
Grant appointed the late B. C. Wines,
a distinguished American penologist.
Hsarty Response In Europe.
Dr. Wines was warmly received In
Great Britain and tho Continent by
government officials, crowned heads,
loaders In philanthropy and penology,
and learned Jurists. These distinguish,
ed leaders of thought and action knew
well enough that this war could not be
carried on merely with tho old instru
ments of repression and drastic Instru
ments of tortures. They know that
It meant better laws, a reconstruction
of criminal codes, better police and o
strengthening of every form of nodal
defense. It Is useless to stay the flood
of crime by dikes at tho mouth of the
stream; it must bo filtered at Its
source.
