2 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.

NEVER BATHE, SAYS DOCTOR. To Bathe Is To Be Dirty and To In vite Disease. Chicago, December 10.—“ When the peo ple leave off bathing there will be little or nothing for the doctors to do.

Blood, at 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.

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.

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 .

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.

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 meri ; named by the subc-.nnmiss.on. and wherever we have sei", ted a (lift‘.'rent book it w;. : be,-, use th-, pri'-c ot the book recommended n a-!-- .1 ad > 'lsa i o mst.-.i '- li.iv." w.- .V ' ’ 1 1 '■ v- ? .- -■ in the opinion of the su j.-eaim. ." t " ,s unworthy of adoption.

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 an attack of Typhoid, Grip or Pneumonia, nothing will put on healthy flesh so fast as this tonic alterative of Dr. Pierce, a trulv "Golden Medical Discovery.’’ It nourishes the blood, and, instead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the person’s blood takes on a rich red color and the corpus cles are more nearly round. Nervous ness is only THE CRY OF THE STARVED NERVES for food, and, when the nerves are fed 011 rich red blood, the person loses those 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.
