DOUBLY PROVEN. Newnan Readers Can No Longer Doubt the Evidence. This Newnan citizen testified long ago. Told of quick relief—of undoubted benefit. The facts are now confirmed. Such testimony is complete —the evi dence conclusive. It forms convincing proof of merit. W. T. Lasenby, 64 Wesley St., New nan, says: "The kidney secretions were too frequent in passage and I suffered from backache for several years. I tried different remedies but they all failed to correct the trouble. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from the J. F. Lee Drug Co., gave me immediate re lief.” The above statement was given Feb. 1908, and on Feb. 26. 1915, Mr. Lazenby said: “I still use Doan’s Kidney Pills once in a while and they keep my back and kidneys in good con dition. ” Price 50c., at all dealers. Don’t sim ply aBk for a kidney remedy—get tioan’B Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Lazr-nb.v had. Fcster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Report of Fourth District Convention at Bullochville, Ga., May 12. The three words that best express the Fourth district meeting at Bul lochville are—Enthusiastic, Successful, Satisfactory. Every seat in the audi torium at the school was tilled at both the morning and afternoon sessions. About seventy delegates were present, and representatives from a few non- federated cluos were so impressed that they will federate as soon as their clubs can be consulted. About two hundred people were in the audience. The State officers present were Mrs, Z. 1. Fitzpatrick, our beloved president, and Mrs. Trox Bankston, treasurer. The Bullochville brass band met the incoming train with their inspiring music, and gave several numbers dur ing the session. MiBB Mabel Bulloch’s rendition of the beautiful song, “Let Us Have Peace,” was thoroughly ap preciated. Dr. Neal Kitchens’ address of welcome was a gem of literature and oratory. This was followed by Mrs. J. O. Butts with a greeting from the Civic Improvement Club, who were our gracious hostesses. Mrs. Moreland Zellars, of Grantville, made a most beautiful response to their words of greeting. Mrs. Fitzpatrick was, as she always is, most helpful in her ad dress on “Women’s Club Work. ” She is so tactful and gentle and wise that we feel it almost an impossibility for anyone worthily to take her place. Mrs. J. L. Bond, of Columbus, agri cultural demonstrator for Muscogee county, gave an instructive and illu minating talk on “Soils,” and on the girl’s canning clubs. Miss Kobelsper- ger, superintendent of the Georgia Training School for Girls, told of her work and of the school. She was listened to with rapt attention, and the enthusiastic interest she aroused was the most impressive incident of a day full of good impresBionB. Her mag netic and vigorous personality and her earnest Christian viewpoint convinced everyone that she was indeed the right woman in the right place. . A most beautiful luncheon was served to over a hundred women by the Civic Improvement Club at the Tuscawilla Hotel, a handsome building recently erected and equipped with all modern conveniences. The afternoon session was devoted to club reports, each one of which was well put together, and Bhowed splendid work along the lines of education, civics, literature, music, and welfare work. Several reports were given with so much quaint humor as to cause continuous ripples of laughter from the audience. Mrs. Neal Kitchens, of Bullochville, was unanimously elected to the presi dency of the Fourth district. Mrs. Harvey Nimmons, of LaGrange, was elected secretary. Mrs. Mike Powell, president, and Mrs. Paul Dismukes, secretary, were the retiring officers. At 6 o’clock, after the afternoon ses sion, tea and sandwiches were served in the park, which has been made beauti ful by the women of the club. The visitors were then given a motor ride to Warm Springs, which is about a quarter of a mile on one side of Bulloch ville, and to the Government Fisheries, which are about a mile on the other side of the town. The cordial hospi tality of its men and women will long make the memory of Bullochville a happy one to those who were so for tunate as to be present. Man Who Takes His Own Medicine is an Optimist. He has absolute faith in his medicine —he knows when he takes it for cer tain ailments he gets relief. People who take Dr. King’s New Discovery for an irritating cold are optimists—they know this colngh remedy will penetrate the linings of the throat, kill the germs, and open the way for Nature to aet. You can’t destroy a cold by superficial treatment—you must g:o to thecauBeof the trouble. Be an optimist. Get a bot tle of Dr. King’s New Discovery to-day.

Sixteen years ago I was taken sick with kidney trouble and suffered terri bly for thr e months. I did not work during this time, and was mostly con fined to the bed. After using other remedies I finally tried a bottle of Swamp-Root. I immediately began to feel better, and after using seven 50- cent bottles was entirely cured, and have had no kidney trouble since. I can truly say that I owe my good health to Swamp-Root. You may publish thiB letter for the benefit of other people afflicted as I was with, the hope of bringing to their attention this most won. erful remedy. Yours very truly, HATTIE A.

Our hearts go out to the unfortunate Americans who went down with this ill-fated ship, and yet THEY WERE WARNED! Should we not heed a WARNING? —A WARNING GIVEN IN TIME? Indeed, the idea of war makes error per petual. Like the warrior, unfitted by wounds and disease to longer fight, who re turns home to be. with his family, (who, although at home, suffered with him,) and the march their disabilities down they winding ways of Time, peacefully, quietly, happily—HE WAS PROTECTED. Even though he may not be victori ous in war, he has conquered WOE, WANT, HATE, FEAR, PENURY. Protection, the bounteous ancestor of trouble, is what the G. E.
