BACKACHE IS
A DANGER SIGNAL
Kidney Troubles, Bladder Dis
orders, Rheumatism, and
Serious Diseases Follow.
There are other symptoms, such aa
pains In the region of the kidneys, nerv
ousness, dizziness, tired and worn-out
feeling, weak Madder, palnfuJ, scaldy, or
urinary troubles, which are just as
dangerous, for the slightest kidney de
rangement If neglected may develop Into
the deadly Bright's Disease, Dropsy, or
Diabetes.
It Is not only dangerous, but needless,
for you to suffer, and endure the tor
tures of these troubles, for the new dis
covery, Croxone, quickly and surely
ends an such misery.
There Is no more effective remedy
inown for the cure of kidney, bladder
trouble, and rheumatism, than this n*w
scientific preparation, because It re
moves the cause. It soaks right Into
the kidneys, through the walls and lin
ings, cleans out the clogged-up pores,
neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous
uric acid and waste matter, that lodges
In th 6 points and muscles and cause
those terrible rheumatic pains, and
makes the kidneys tjlter the poison from
the blood and drives It out of the l, .
tern.
Three doses of Croxone a day, for a
few days Is often all that Is ever need
ed to oure the worst backache or over
come disagreeable urinary disorders, and
you can take it with the utmost confi
dence that nothing on earth will so
quickly overcome the worst case of kid
ney bladder trouble, or rheumatism.
You will find Croxone different Horn
1 other remedies There Is nothing
else like It It is SO prepared that It
Is practically Impossible to take It Into
the human system wthout results. An
original package costs but a trifle at
any first class drug store. AH drug
gists are authorised to personally return
the purchase prize If Croxone should
X*ii la a sing'e case.
will he rend tn council and the city of
Augusta nnd Richmond county will he
asked to place their annual contribu
tions to charity tn this central body.
The plan Is to have all of the charity
dispensed by a hoard selected by the
Associated Charities and each of the
charitable organizations of the city
will have a representative on this
board. A man will be employed to
look after tho business end of the
proposition.
The Childrens' Home, the Boys'
Home, the Mary Warren Home and
other Institutions which are now re
cipients of charity from various or
ganizations will secure their contribu
tions from a central source so that
there will he a more even distribution.
The negro Insttutinns which are the
recipients of charity will also he In
cluded. It Is the concensus of opin
ion that Augusta people contribute
more toward charity than they would
have to If the '.matter was handled In
the proper man nor.
25 TO 30 DEGREES
EXPECTED TONIGHT
This is the Official Forecast
of Mr. Emigh. Not Much
Danger of Snow Falling.
The Local Forecaster. Mr. E. D.
Emigh, says that the weather In Au
gusta will be fair and somewhat cold
er In Augusta tonight, and fair Wed
nesday. Mr. Emigh says that the
temperature tonight will be between 25
and 30 degrees. There Is no danger
of snow falling to any extent, al
though there may be a few flurries.
Augusta Is a far different place to
day from many cities In the country
and even many In the South. The
weather in North Carolina Is bitter
cold and there is snow in Asheville,
Charlotte and other places. Zero
weather prevails In the Texas Pan
handle.#
Flying Boat Pilots Hold
Conference With Owners
Curtiss, who is Building Trans-
Atlantic Flyer Will Also
Be Present.
New York. —Lieut. John Cyril Torte,
of England and Lieutenant John H
Towers. U. 8. N., mentioned as the
aviators who will pilot the Rodman
Wanainaker flying boat In the con
templated trans-Atlantic flight, came
to town today for a conference with
Mr. Wanamaker. Glenn H. Curtiss,
who Is building the flying boat. Is
also here for the conference.
While it Is generally believed in
aeronautical circles that Lieutenant
Towers will be picked as the second
pilot, Towers Is non-committal.
“I have been sent here to Investi
gate the proposed plan, said Towers,
*‘and cannot give even a personal opin
ion on the subject of the flight until
the proposition has been laid before
me and explained. That the govern
ment will select me for one of the pi
lots is by, no means certain.”
As to progress made on the Wana
maker 'plane, Mr. Curtiss said:
“Up to the present time most of the
work has had to do with plans and
drawing of the machine. I should
say that the plans for the 'plane It
self are fifty per cent completed.
When we have satisfied ourselves that
everything is right it will be a matter
of less than four weeks to do the ac
tual construction work. The motor Is
practically finished.”
THE GERMAN STEAMER
WILDENFELS IS SAFE
Eleven of Crew of Danish Ship,
Ekliptika, Rescued by the
Wildenfels, However.
London—A telegram from Bremen
to Lloyds today explains that no ac
cident has happened to the Oerman
steamer Wildenfels from which an
S. O. 3. call was received at The
Lizard today. The Wildenfels, the
despatch adds, picked up some of the
crew of the Danish steamer Ekliptika,
which sank in the Bay of Biscay dur
ing a storm. The confusion arose
owing to the crossing of the wire
less waves during transmission. The
Ekliptika was a steamer of 1300
tons.
Eleven Person* Rescued.
Bremen, Germany—A fragmentary
wireless message received here today
from the German steamer Wildenfels
reports that she rescued eleven per
sons from the Danish steamer Eklip
tika when she sank in the Bay of
Biscay yesterday.
The message states that the cap
tain of the Ekliptika perished. It is
assumed that a considerable part of
the crew also went down.

Good Cheer A ids
Digestion of Food
Dyspeptics Can Make the
Rest of the Family Hap
py by Using a Laxative-
T onic.
The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend so
much on the good digestion of each In
dividual present that Iho experiences
of some former dyspeptics who over
came their trouble should ho of Inter
est to those now suffering in this way.
The best advice one can give -but It
Is advice that Is seldom heeded Is to
eat slowly and masticate each mouth
ful carefully. However, If slow eat
ing and careful mastication fall the
next aid Is one close to nature, Dr.
Caldwell's Hyrup Pepsin. This rem
edy is an excellent dlgeatant, and in
addition to helping In the digestion of
the food, acts gently on the liver and
bowels, ridding them of ttie accumula
tion of waste thut should long ago
have been passed off. It Is safe re
liable, pleasant-lasting, and results
are guaranteed.
MaJ, H. Martin, of Joplin, Mo., now
77, thinks Dr. Caldwell's Hyrup Pepsin
has helped him to a longer and happier
life, He lias not felt so good In years
as he has since taking this excellent
medicine, and In spite of his 77 years
he says ho feels like a boy.
It Is the Ideal remedy for Indiges

tion, no matter how chronic, lillloiih

Much interest was manifested In
the published Interview with General
Villa at Chihuahua In which he re
cited again the story of what he al
leges was an attempt on 'his life by
llenton. Thus far the state depart
ment It Is known, has received no
authentic evidence tending to refute
Villa's version of the affair. Though
some doubt ns to the manner In
which Benton was killed may exist in
official circles, unless positive evi
dence Is presented controverting
Villa's claims it Is now quite certain
the American government will not
reject his story.
One direct effect of the Incident, It
Is admitted generally here, will be a
manifestation of some kind by the
United States to the constitutional
ists that foreigners must be given
ample protection It is suggested the
American government may seek to
reach an understanding with Villa
whereby the constitutionalist will
agree not to take summary action
with respect to any foreigners until
he hns previously notified Washing
ton officials.

You can obtain Dr. Raldwcll’s Syrup
Pepsin at any drug store* for fifty
rents or one dollar, tho latter size be
ing bought by heads of families al
ready familiar with Its merits. Re
sults are always guaranteed or money
will he refunded.
When you use Hyrup Pepsin you will
see the fallacy of chewing mints and
tablets or of taking cathartics, salts,
pills and similar drastic medicines.
Unlike these, Hyrup Pepsin does not
lose Its good effect, and by automa
tically training the stomach and bow

stores theso organs to normal.
