"The Proof of the Pudding Lies in tn
 EatinK.',

The doctors are dumbfounded, the drug glsts astonlshed, and the people excited and joyful over the wonderful cures and tremen- dous sales of the great Remedy, St Jacobs Oil. Every case of Rheumatism-som of many years standing-has given way 0 this powerful remedy. Thousands of certificates like the following can be furnished as to its yalue:-
 George Seleyer, Publisher of the Chiffon, Wis, HNolksbote," used St. Jacobs Oil for almost unbearable pains in the back, which had completely prostrated him.' i few ap- plieatons cured him entirely.
 Mrs. Fred Eberle, Bellaire, O., was for a long time severely troubled with Rheuma- tism. St. Jacobs oil instantly relieved and entirely cure her.
 Rev. Dr. B. Pick, of Rochester, \. Y, suf- fered so intensely from Rheumatic pains that he was unable to preach. Several appica- tions from a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil Ire leved him."
 F Raider, Cleveland. Ohio, says Two applications of St. Jacobs Oil cured me of great and long continued pain in my foot
 Messrs. C. L. Brundage and Son, Drug gists, Muskegon, Mich. Wrte:-"St Ja- eobs oil has a wonderful sale. We sold eight bottles at retail yesterday. This Will give. you some idea of how well it IS liked in this section"
 MT. Louis Hinkel. of East Poesten. Kill, liniment l ever used. It cured me of Rheu- matism and pain in the back"
 Herman Rittner, Manchester, N H. "I nave tried St Jacobs Ol, and found it ex- cellent. All those who have purchased it speak of it as simply incompatible. "
 Gee. G. Erffie, Palestine. Hl.:-I was in bed suffering from a swollen leg, l used St. Jacobs Oil, its effect was wonderful The following day l attended to my business again
 Dr Otto Fnls, Reading, O.. writes:-"The sale of St Jacobs Oil is constantly increas- ing; it is praised by everybody, and never fails to give entire satisfaction.

SOUTHERN
 EDUCATION
SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
Opportunities Revealed By the In- yestigafiOn or the southern
 Ejacation Board.

P. P. ClaXton, of the bureaa of in- vcstigation of the southern education board, is preparing a bulletin on the consolidation of schools in the south efn states. Truly remarkable are the opportunities revealed by such re- port-opportunities thatwe believe the intelligent citizens of our rural dis tricts will not be slow to appreciate. Better teachers more teachers, better schoolhouses, longer termst And the cost is simply the reduction of the number of schools in each county to 1 in every 26 square miles and fraction thereof making 212 miles the longest distance any child will have to walk. Such are the advantages and such is the cost. Will it pay2 Let Us prove the affirmative by selections from Prof. ClaXton's statistics. Knox county, Tenn, with an area of 520 square miles, and a school population (eXclu
 sive of knoXyille) of 13,SS1 children, has 120 white schools, an average ef 1-3 square miles and 1l3 children to each school. If the number of schools were reduced to l in every 20 square miles and fraction thereof, there would be only 2G schools in the eoun- ty; each school would have the funds now supporting 412 schools; the mum. Der of children per school would be 534; and the number of teachers for 20 per cent. attendance, on the basis of l to every 50 children and fraction thereof, would average s per school. Forsyth county, N. C.. with an area of 3G9 miles and q school population tex elusive of Winston-Salem) of 7,S96 children, has p white schools. an av- craze of 51s miles and 109 children to each school. If the number of schools were reduced to in every 20 square miles and fraction thereof, the country would have only 19 schools; each school would have the funds now sup porting 3 B schools; the number of children per school would be 415; and the number of teachers for a 70 per cent. attendance would average per school. Clay county, Ny, with an area of 475 square miles. and q school population of 5,953 children, has 91 white schools, an average of 51 square miles and 6 children to each school. With the suggested consolidation, the county would have only 24 schools; each school would have the funds now supporting 3h schools; the number of children per school would be 24S, and the number of teachers f. Such statis- ties us these are arguments too strong to be considered lightly. Prof. ClaX- tons bulletin will be published in the next few weeks. and the Southern ed
 ueation board will gladly send it to those who write and ask for it.

 Seen in Virginia.

Last week, while travelling in Nir- ginia, l found school on the public road that had an attendance of five children. One mile further was an other school with an enrolment of if teen and an average attendance of twelve. A mile further was school with an average attendance of eight. Half mile further were three private schools. This is not an exceptional condition in that state.
 In anotAer community gentleman said to me: There are five or six schools within few miles of my door, but our children attend neither one' for very obvious reasons to the in telligent father.
 One of the things we are working for is the grouping of these schools into one lnstitution.-Robert Frazer.

In every country of the civilized world Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spiritual and intellectual needs of the charges com mitted to their care, but they also minister to their bodily needs.
 With so many children te take care of md to protect from climate and disease, these wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna neverfailing safeguard
 Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the United States. A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
 Dr. s. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:

CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. 41, 1,206.-Capt. Alfred G. Rigler of Hose Company No. I, Can ton, Ohio, says: II had a weak back ever since l was a boy and about six years ago the cause developed into rather a bad case of kidney complaint. It was not a little baekaehe now and then but backache which caused actual suffering day and night, and the harder I tried to get rid of it the worse it became.
 "When the attacks were in the acute stage it was difficult to sit down. and when down it was just as hard to re- gain an erect position. on account of the twinges of pain in the kidneys. I can only describe some of the bangs as similar to that received from knife thrust.
 Tn time, distressing and terribly in- convenient urinary weakness resulted, causing annoying embarrassment dur ing the day and loss of sleep during the night.
 "I took everything which came tony notice from reading, from observa- tion, and which my friends and ac- quaintances advised. I consulted physicians, but none of them were able to relieve the trouble, let alone stop it.
 Tt became so well known that I had a pronounced case of kidney com plaint that I often received circulars from medical companies offering to cure me, and one day eighteen letters were handed to me by the mail car rier.
 "When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted my attention I wanted to try them, just as l had tried everything else, and Mrs. Rigler went to Durban X Wright Co.'s drug store for box. Relief fol lowed. I knew after a dose or two that the medicine was acting directly on the kidneys from the altered con dition of the kidney secretions, and encouraged, l continued the treat ment. Finally, the baekache and other complications stopped.
 "Let me sum up my opinion about Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, would willingly pay one months wages for box of them if I could not buy them for less. You can refer anyone Q me about Doan's Kidney Pills and I will convince them that they act just as represented"

"Lapse of time has strengthened my appreciation of Doans Kidney Pills. gave this remedy my unquali- fled endorsement in the summer of 1896, because of the results I obtained from a course of the treatment. l can now add to my original endorse ment the experience of number of others who are just as enthusiastic when they express their opinion of Deans Kidney Pills, as I.'

ally and o, the sugar beet districts
particularly are vitally intereste d
in the result of the coming elec-
tion. A Legislature is to be elect
ed which will choose a United
States senator 10 succeed Senator

mand that its senators and con-
gressmen stand together firmly
and unialteringly for the bee; su-
gar industry, which is yet but in
its infancy, but which prom.-es to
develore iuto one Of the greatest
industries Of the state.
Every voter can well AFFORD to
lay liis party preference on the
shell this year and vote Tor the
building up OF his state and his
home.
When the Cuban reciprocity
agitation was on in congress last
spring it met with a formidable
opposition from the Colorado sen
ators and congressman, and it can
not be denied ,hnt they we're work
ing conseiencionsly for the people
they represented when they did 30.
Not single man should be sent
to the state Legislature who will
cast his vote for n candidate for
United States senator who is in
favor OF reducing the tariff on su-
gar.
Compel the candidates to come
out in the open and declare them
