Thousands of Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect It.
Almost every one, from personal experience, knows that the effects of any kind of severe phy
sical strain are felt, first of all, in the small of the back—in other words, in those Vital Organs, the
Kidneys. This is as true in the case of the very powerful as it is with one of less strength, and it Is
especially true whenever the kidneys are weak or out of order.
The Great kidney Remedy Swamp-Root, strengthens the kidneys and through them helps
all the other organs.
WOMEN suffer untol 1 misery because the nature of their disease is not always correctly understood: in many cases
when doctoring, they ate led io be ieve that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is r onsible for their ills,
when in fact disordered kidne s are the chief cause of their digressing troubles. Perhaps you sutler almost contin
ually with pain in the bac bearing-down feelings, headache and utter exha istion.

October 13. 1903.
The iq>ini..n was wrltHn bv Judge Fox

The court holds that the board of health
lias no authority to let the garbage con
tract, but that this power belonged to
the hoard of publi, improvements. The
board of health having charge of the
contract, the defendants could not bribe
members to do something which they had

NEVER BATHE, SAYS DOCTOR.
To Bathe Is To Be Dirty and To In

Chicago, December 10.—“ When the peo

or nothing for the doctors to do. Pneu
monia, colds and a hundred other ills
result from the foolish habit of washing
the body.
■'To bailie is to be dirty, for you there

tracted by tiie skin, gives up products
that should be h ft to seek a natural out
let and soils the skin.”
The foregoing dt- larations, made by
Professor John Dill Robertson, at the
annual meeting of the Chicago Ecle tic
and Surgical Socii.-tx. at the auditorium,
lias aroused the inter, st ot tiie mem
bers.
Professor Robertson assi-rted that the
theory that the closing of the pores of the
skin would result in de ith is false. The
habit of taking “dry baths” was also
denounced. The rubbing of rough tow
el over Hie skin. :i. -..riling to Dr. Rob
ertson. removed the natural scales of Hie
skin or the false skin.

WK OF THE BOOK
COMMISSION.
Where Possible Awards Were Made
in Favor of Southern Authors.
Saving Will Be Between 25
and 50 Per Cent of
Present Price.
A uniform series of text books to uo
used for the next five years in the com
mon schools of Georgia was finally se
lected and adopted Tuesday by the state
school book commission, aftei* more than
a month of arduous toil in studying bids,
reports of the subconimlssion, hundreds
of samples of books submitted and hear
ing from numerous representatives of
book publishing concerns as to the merits
of thflr various publications.
A tabulated statement Is presented here
with. showing the r arious publishers who
wore successful in scouting the contracts,
the names of the books to be used, the
prices at which the books are now sold
in Georgia, and the prices at which they
are to lie furnished to the state under
bnnd given by the> company oft ring
them.
Immense Annual Saving.
It will be seen from a comparison of
I these prices how great an amount will
be saved annually to the people of Geor
gia, the reduction ranging from 25 to 50
j p r r cent In some cases below the prices
i for which these books can at present be
1 obtained of dealers. 'Dlls will mean a
' saving of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to tlie people of Georgia, it having
been estimated that 111'- sav'iig will
amount to more than $600,000 during Hi’"
live year period.
'Die commission reached its conclusion
Tuesday at a i-na! in.iiing held at Hie
governor's mansion ,aft.-r the- most care
ful and faithful consideration of ail tie
books offered, studying them from a
’standpoint of quality as w-.1l as of price.
: Dissatisfied with the liist bids that wre
] ofiered, the commission rejected them ail
and < ailed for mw ones throughout.
■ riles., bids Were much below those tirst
submitted, and were in every way satis
factory. Olu 1> >oks wiil bo received in
exchange for n w ones on the same .sub
ject. at a value all the way from 50 to
66 2-3 per cent of the new book
■ The books adopted by the commission
will be used In the public schools next
year, and the contractors will b Grilled
I on to supply them at as early a date as
possible. The successful bidd ts will con
fer with Attorney General Hart at once,
and the contracts will be signed without
'delay, It being the desire of the eomniis
! sion to get the books here as near the
I first of the year as Is possible.
Statement by Commission.
' X r ollowing is a statement from the
1 state school book commission relative to
the books adopted, and giving the com
mission’s reason for the actions taken:
‘•The state school book commission
deems It proper to perpetuate with its
report adopting a uniform system of
text books for the common .schools of
Georgia, the reasons which actuated
each and every adoption. 1 lie. two and a
, half millions of people in Georgia as-
I fected thereby have a r’glit to know.

work which the legislature of the stat..-,
had thrust upon ft. and we are cognizant
i of the difficulties and the embarrass

cution.
“Os equal Importance to good personal
associates for our children is the com
panionship of good books. S.-nsiblee of
this truth, we have undertaken this
Important work, and if v...- have not done
It wisely, it has at least been faithfully
done.
"In pursuance of the act creating the
school book commission, we elected a
subcommlsslon. R. allzing tb it the suc
cess of the radical change about to be
enacted depended largely upon the in
tegrity and intelligence of tile subcom
mission, we selected a committee of gen
tlemen of universally recognized integ-
I rity, conspicuous as educators, and de
voted friends to the cause of education.
! “We have, as the law directs, "given
gr.-at v . I'ght .and due consideration to
i the reports and recommendations of the

of the subeonnne-sion are thorough, able
and exhaustive. If we have acted wisely
in the selection of books credit is due
largely to the work and report of the
subcommission.
“In the selection ot books we have not
thought it wise to sacrifice quality for
price, and yet we have not thought It
proper to Ignore price altogether, where
oooks were of the same class.
'•\Ve have shown a preference for
southern authors, where the competitive
books offered w- re substantially of equal

do so involved an injury to the children

dens of the tax-pay., rs who support the
common schools of the state.
“No book that is partisan In charac

favor In our eyes. It lias been our alm
to get the best books at the least pos

The Animal’s Instinct.
NATURE INTENDED WHAT WAS RIGHT.
” All nature is but art unknown to thee ;
c All chance direction, which thou const not see ;
"All discord, harmony not understood;
"All partial evil, universal good ;
"Anci spite of pride, in erring reason’s spite,
"One truth is clear, IFhatever is is right.”
Hopes Hssay on Sian.
qk -T'ATURK provides everything nec-
I essary for human existence.
i The more we penetrate the se
crets of nature the more we find
to wonder at and to convince us that the
closer we live to the laws of nature the
healthier are our lives. The British and
French medical authorities have recently
stated that tiie people in those countries
are deteriorating in physical make-up.
The cause is violation’of the laws of
nature. If we keep our body full of
alcohol that forces the heart into extra
dutv, weakening the stomach and par
alyzing digestion; if we do not take the
proper time for eating, digesting and
sleeping; if we do not breathe pure air;
if, in a word, we do the very things that
nature intended we should not do, we
will have to pav for it. Instinct teaches
animals what is best for them, but man
manufacture many noxious things, such
as alcohol, to steal away our bodily
health and strength. We can live long
lives if we keep the body in health,
strong to resist the attack of disease
germs. Practice preventive medicine,
Fn keeping the blood pure and the prin
cipal organs active. Do not repose in
the false idea that some tonic, made
largely of alcohol, will give you strength;
it is only a false strength at best and
means the shrinking up of the red blood
corpuscles. Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief con
sulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel
and Surgical Institute, ol Buffalo, N. \ ~
never believed in a tonic or blood medi
cine made with alcohol, so he set about
commission and the commission. This
does not mean that the books so re
jected were all Inferior. Some were re
jected because not adapted to our condi
tlcns, while others of equal merit with
those select, d were rejected because dis
proportionately expensive.
"We have finally adopted, almost with
out fxceptlon, th. books in the order of

President of Texas Growers Issues
Circular to Farmers.
AVashington, Hoecniber 9.—(Special.)—
E. S. T’etcrs, president of the Texas Cot
ton Growers’ Protective Association, who
here has issued the following bulletin,
which explains itself:
Washington, I'. C , December 9.—To the
Cotton Growers of the South: I have
just. eomp’Wcil a. caret’ul analysis of the
report of file li i. -a i of statistics, and I
ain pr< pared to say that tile report issued
December 3, estimating the cotton crop
at 9,962,000 bal.-s, is not only conserva
tive, but is over rather than under the
indicated yield. 1. therefore, earnestly
urge all growers of tiie staple not to part
with their holdings except at the real
value thereof, which is not l-< ss than 15
cents per pound, the figure I have repeat
edly predicted would l> - paid. Pay no at
tention to the future mar!;, is. and do not
fi t the middleman am! sj ■ ul.itors fix the
price of the limit of your labor.
Farmers of the south, this is jour oppor
tunity. If there is to be a corner, con
duct it yourselves and reap the benefit
thereof. Yours truly.

to find in nature that which would in
crease the red blood corpuscles and tone

This he found in certain roots, herbs and
barks, which he made into an alterative
extract called Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery. It is a tonic and blood
maker without a particle of alcohol or
narcotics contained in it. Nervous ex
haustion, when the slightest exertion
tires one, sleeplessness, pimples, boils,
or colds are the warning signals that the
blood is not in a healthy state.
On a bodv that has been weakened by

nothing will put on healthy flesh so fast
as this tonic alterative of Dr. Pierce, a

nourishes the blood, and, instead of the
ill-shaped corpuscles, the person’s blood
takes on a rich red color and the corpus

for food, and, when the nerves are fed

irritable feelings, sleeps well at mgnt
and feels refreshed in the morning. Dr.
Pierce also advises simple diet, work,
play, right exercise, frequent baths to
keep the skin and pores clean, and a
gentle laxative occasionally for the bow
els. Dr. Bierce’s Pleasant Pellets are
gently laxative, do not gripe, and are
made entirely of vegetable ingredients.
Do not allow’the waste materials to clog
the system and poison it, or vour._-.ett

take one of these "Pellets” as an after
