Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality.
These centers become bloodless for want
of proper nutrition. This is especially
true in the spring season. Every spring
host of invalids are produced as the
direct result of weak nerves.
This could be easily obviated by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the difficulty by correcting the
digestion. Digestion furnishes nutri-

Titles for Sermons.

That eccentric preacher, Lorenzo Dow,
says the Homelitic Review, once preached
to thoughtless young women who with
their gorgeous bonnets had taken the
highest seats In the room, from the text,
''Topknot, Come Down." One of the most
brilliant preachers of a generation ago,
now a "castaway." preached to young
people from the text Let Her Drive. -
Such perversious of scripture are even
more Objectionable than the stupid
preachers announcement of his text,
Saddle Me, the ASS" These are very
likely to indicate, judging from observa-
ton, something of seaminess in the mans
piety.
But there are things probably much
worse than these, in themes constantly
appearing In the advertising column Sew
eral years ago a bright preacher adver-
tised to enlighten his people on Sunday
morning by Lessons from Croquet. D."
Last year is was lessons from Golf. "
And this was the topic for the opening
of the autumn campaign for probably the
most important service of the year! Born
Too Late, the World Has the Start oil
Him." is the form of an offer of enlight-
eminent to young men. "a Love Song
"A Love Adventure" and Lessons in
Courtship" of course attracted instant
attention. But it seems clear that such
themes, however well meant, aim a dead
ly blow at piety in the church, and are
likely so to discredit the religion they
claim to represent as TO make it a stencil
In the nostrils of all decent people.

symptoms of Spring.

From the Baltimore American.
The crocus and the violet are not upon
the scene,
Nor has the grass yet carpeted the earth
with pleasing green,
But gentle Spring is coming, though the
iceman still Is mute,
And though the table yet is decked with
syrup canned fruit.
Yes, gentle Spring is coming-she is some
where hereabout-
For the poetry is budding and the rhymes
begin to sprout.
The dreamy poets dip their pens and roll
their mystic eyes;
They swear the azure robe of Spring is
waving In the skies:
They VOW the mead is dotted with the lily
and the rose,
And as to recognizing spring-the dreamy
poet knows.
The symptoms all would indicate that win
ter's a going out.
For the poetry is budding and the rhymes
begin to sprout.

NEGLECTED. WEALTH.

Any person who will take a ride into
the suburbs around Savannah, either on
the trolleys or over the improved county
roads, will be impressed by the fact that
there is so much good land, within sight
of the city, that is lying idle. In all d.
rections there are literally thousands of
acres only awaiting cultivation to give
bountiful crops. Why are these lands not
utilized? 1t certainly is not that they are
not worth working. 1t is risking moth
ing to say that within five miles of Sa-
vannah farming lands as fine as any In
the world are to be found. The draining
of the great swamps has reclaimed many
broad acres that are as rich as muck, and
throughout Chatham county the soil'is ex-
ceptionally responsive to intelligent culti-
walton.
Leaving Savannah by any of the roads,
there should be several miles of fine
farms stretching out on both sides of the
highway. The soil and climate are suited
to the production of about every vege-
table product of the temperate zone, in
Guiding short and long staple cotton,
wheat, oats, corn, potatoes, peas, straw
berries, melons, beans, and hundred and
one other grains, vegetables and fruits
which are in constant and daily demand
by the people for food. The opportunities
for successful trucking for early ship
ments to Northern markets, and for sup
plying a large local market, could hardly
be better than they are around Savannah.
We have quick, frequent and cheap
freight communication with New York,
Philadelphia Baltimore and Boston, as
well as other markets, and we are close
enough to the frost line to be among the
first to enter the markets with our pro-
ducts Nevertheless we do comparatively
little truck farming.
There are hundreds of acres near the
city that could be profitably devoted to
poultry farming; nevertheless we send
away to other states year after year tens
of thousands of dollars for eggs. chickens
and turkeys. The same is true with re-
spect to butter and cheese. We send our
money away for these necessaries of life
merely because we have never tried to
produce them for ourselves. If the
people of other sections find these things
profitable, could we not make them profit
able also? They have advantage of us in
nothing, except possibly energy. Our cll-
mate, soil, water, ETC., is as good as
theirs, and probably better, and our labor
is as good.
The supply of available labor, now idle,
is large There should be efforts TO bring
this idle labor and these idle lands to-
gether There is wealth to be made in
the combination.

in a lecture on "The Progress and
Tendency of Astronomy" delivered at
Columbian University, Washington, on
Thursday, Professor Simon Newcomb
spoke of the determination of the exact
motion of the solar system as one of the
victories of the nineteenth century. II Is
determined that the solar system is NOV
ing forward in space forty thousand
miles an hour, but whence 1t came or
whittier 1t is going no one can tell Mr..
NewcOmb does not believe instruments
will ever be discovered that will allow
astronomers to prove that rational inhab-
itants exist on other planets, The only
way in which they can judge will be by
conditions of other planets which would
make 1t probable or improbable that ra-
tional beings such as are on the earth can
live there. Mars may be inhabited, but
astronomers have not been able to draw
any evidence on that subject one way or
the other. What changes may come to
the earth, the sonar system or the uni
verse can only be matters of uncertain
speculation. Only one. theory can be
counted upon and that is that "all things
must end"

WEALTH IN sAwnusr.

Wherever there is a saw-mill in Geor-
gia-and there are thousands of them
a feature of the landscape is an i'm
mense sawdust pile. In most cases the
pile will be seen TO be burning, with more
or less reluctance. The flames seem 10th
to devour the residue that represents
thousands and thousands of feet of tim
Der, so the pile shoulders and smokes,
except when stirred and coaxed by the
small boy who receives a few cents a
day for keeping the. fire going. Many
saw-mills burn as much sawdust as they
can in their furnaces, but even then
they cannot get rid of it all and big
piles rapidly accumulate. What to do
with the stuff is often bothersome ques-
ton to mill men.
But, should sawdust be regarded as a
waste product, and treated accordingly?
In Montreal, Canada, a chemist in the
employ of a mill man has been expert
menting with sawdust with a view to
utilizing it. and he has found it very
rich in possibilities. He has constructed
an apparatus for the treatment of saw
dust, and with it he has received returns
of number of valuable products BY
distillation, or rather the heating of the
sawdust in a retort, he has obtained
good Illuminating gas and other things
of worth. From 1000 pounds of sawdust
he has got, besides the gas, 100 pounds
of char, $50 pounds of acids and 16,
mounds NJ hpGtAaa xxyat
from wife pine and spruce sawdust The
sawdust of the yellow pine would give
a much larger percentage of tar and its
derivatives. In Germany there are several
plants for utilizing sawdust, one of the
chief products of these plants being OK
alic acid. In Scotland there are similar
plants, which not only extract acids from
the sawdust, but make from it also limo
leums floor cloths, wall paper and coarse
wrapping paper. A very fair quality
of heavy paper is made from even the
coarse-fibered woods.
once on time, as will be remember
ed, the so-called waste products of gas
plants were turned off into running
streams or otherwise disposed of in the
most handy manner. Now they are saved
and manufactured into dyes and various
chemicals. Many of the drugs most used
these days for fovers and headaches are
derivatives of coal tar. 1t may be that
the saw-mill men are throwing away
money, in the matter of their sawdust
piles, just as the gas makers used to
throw away money in turning into the
rivers and creeks their residue from gas
making.
