One Answer for All.

Lancaster, N. Y., Mar 3Oth.-Postmaster Remers Is still in receipt of many letters asking If his cure has held good.
 It will be remembered that some time ago the particulars of MT. Remers case were published in these columns. He had been very low with Diabetes. Physicians could do nothing to save him and he grew worse and worse till some one recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills. A treatment of this :emedy was begun and when eight boxes had been taken Mir. Remers began to see an improvement which continued as the treat ment proceeded till he was completely re- stored.
 He has since enjoyed perfect health and IS as robust and able a man as any in Lancas- ter. Interviewed the other day he said
 Many people wrote to me when the story of my case was first printed and some write to me yet asking if the cure was only tenn porary and if the diabetes has returned. 1 have only one answer to everybody. Three years ago l was very low with Diabetes. The best physicians failed to help me and Dodd' $ Kidney Pills cured me. l am well and strong and have not had the slightest return of the old trouble"

How Strong is n State.

In vision Nebuchadnezzar beheld a great image. This image was mighty, his brightness was excellent, his as pect terrible; his head was of fine gold, his breast and arms of silver, his belly and thighs of brass, his legs of iron,, his feet part of iron and part of clay. And when the feet, that were of iron and clay, were smftten they brake in pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces togeth- CT, and lbecanae like the selaaff of the !summere threshings sflaers;sz and ltsr.; wind carried them away, tha [ no place was found for them. <
 And so will it ever be until clay is no longer mixed with iron in the feet. The glory and splendor and wealth of statues and states may be in the brass and silver and fine gold of other parts of the body, but their strength is in the feet; and their glory and splendor and wealth are as naught in the day of trial, if the feet break by reason of the clay that is in them. No state is stronger than the strength of intel ligence and virtue in the lowest stratum of it's citizenship. Especially is this true of the democratic state. of the children of the poorest and the humblest as a means of self-preserva- ton for state and society.

TMe Best Way to Teach History.

The idea of object teaching, the founda- tion of the Froebel system of instruction, has In recent years met with general accept ance and adoption in almost every branch of education, high and low, with resultant ben efits which are beyond question Even such subjects as grammer and arithmetic are now taught in this way so far as practicable, and with marked advantage over the old dry and abstract method. The practice of teaching history by making pilgrimages to the very scenes where great historical events have occurred is an application of the same principle and much more valuable in the way of impressing the reality of history upon the minds Of the young than any amount of mere textbook instruction could be. A re cent issue of the ''FourTrack Series" pub lished by the New York Central manage ment, gives a description of the historical sites in the immediate vicinity of New York, which will be of exceeding value for the guidance of teachers and others who desire to adopt this method of historical study. One of the best ways to develop civic pride and promote good citizenship lies in this very direction, an increase of knowledge of local history being accompanied with an n- crease of interest in matters of local govern ment and higher concern for what affects the welfare and good name of the commu- nity-From Leslie's Weekly.

SOUTHERN
 EDUCATION
WHY RURAL LIBRARIES
Are Supplement 10 the School Education and Broaden the
 Horizon of the Reader.

''The difference between the educat- ed man and the uneducated," says President Schurman, ''is that the ed ucated man sees more, feels more, wants more, is interested in vastly greater variety of things, and, in short, lives a larger, richer and fuller life. He is haunted by thoughts and touched by emotions and moved by ideals which are incommunicable to him who has not been nourisfed at the breasts of human science and culture" It is the business of the school to initiate the child into this larger life. Yet it is lamentable fact that the boys and girls of the rural communities of the south are getting from the public school practically no help in this direction. A child may learn to read and to write and to manipulate numbers, may learn the rules of grammar and rhetoric, may memorize and recite the mere lists of facts which pass for geography and history-may do all this well, and yet go out into the world with his horizon but little broader than if the school had never existed.
 The business of the school is to ini- tiate the child into civilization. But civilization is not embodied in the formal studies: reading, writing, arithmatic, grammar. To give the child these is to give him his instru- ments, his tools; but to give him no more is to leave him without inspira- tion and guidance. These tools are made useful only in so far as the child has opened up to him the realms of nature and of humanity. Through the use of these instruments the child may enrich his own life by approp1i- ating the accumulated experience of the race. This experience comes to him in the main in the form of books. The most vital endowment which the school gives to the child is the con frmed reading habit directed by a cultivated taste. With this endow- ment the most remote community is put in touch with civilization; the child of the district is made the citi- zen of the world. But this reading habit can not be cultivated in the ab sence of books. Without the rural district library, the rural school must fail in it's most important function.

Consolidation of Schools.

The cause of consolidation of schools continues to win favor in high places. It is now advocated by every state superintendent of public in struction of the south, by an over whelming majority of county super intendents. by most teachers, and by a goodly number of those who have children in the schools.
 Within the last two years the ma jority of the governors of the states have urged legislation to prevent the further subdivision of schools and to increase consolidation. In Tennessee, both Gov. McMillin, in his last mes sage, and Gov. Frazier, in his first message to the legislature, urged such legislation in the strongest terms. Gov. Frazier says:
 "NIy investigation leads me to the conclusion that in many counties of the state there are too many school districts and too many schools. The school fund is scattered among nu- merous small and weak schools, thus limiting the capacity and effectiveness and shortening the term of all. A small school is always weak school; is has not the vital and growing pow CT that numbers give.
 ''One of the crying needs of our public school system in Tennessee is reasonable and practical consolida- tion. The tendency in cur state to multiply rural schools so as to locate a public school near to every mans door has caused great waste of pub lie money and has seriously impaired the efficiency of our public schools. We need, above all things. stronger schools and longer school terms"

can heartily recommend Peruna as a catarrh remedy. Mrs. Elmer Fleming.
 Treat Catarrh in Spring.
 The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh.~1f course of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can be no failures if Peruna is taken intelligently during the favorable weather of spring.
 As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wherever it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

A TRULY GREAT IDEA.

The supporters of football are assem- bled in convention, says the Baltimore American.
 Gentlemen" says the spokesman, something must be done to add inter- est to the game. l regret to acknowledge that in recent years, despite our efforts to wound main and kill, the sport has dwindled in public favor. No doubt this is because of the increase in the number of wars, and the familiarity of the public with injuries from that cause; also be- cause of the growth of the automobile fad. Hence, as 1 say, we must do some- thing to put more ginger in the game. The point Is, what snail we do?"

urine, infrequent and too frequent urinary discharges tell of kidneys out of order.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills from common backache to dan gerous diabetes.
 A. T. Ritenour, owner of the wood yard at 125 East Cork Street, Win chester, Va, says: Ever since had La Grippe I have been sufferer from kidney troubles, which made themselves apparent in racking pains through the region of the kid neys and across the small of my back. The pains were always se- were, and sometimes so sharp and biting that they compelled me to take to my bed. The kidney secre- tions furnished further evidence of disorders. They were off color, ir- regular, and painful of passage. Added to this there was an annoying weakness. The newspaper advertise ments of Doan's Kidney Pills attract ed my attention, and I procured a box of that remedy at Franck Baker & Sons drug store. The relief I ex- perienced was magical. The pills lifted me from my bed of sickness, placed me on my feet, and made me a well man. I can work as we'll as ever. Doan's Kidney Pills, I believe, saved my life. They are a great remedy to stop kidney troubles re- sulting from colds"

any other day Of the week.
Monday, "blue Monday" as it has
long been called, is one Of the most
irving days Of the week for women
who are housewives, principally be
cause il is wash day" Breakfast is
usually served earlier than on other
days and more hastily prepared. Tie
children are early hurried off TO school
and dinner is often picked up" blue
Monday" is the one day in the week
when housewives troubles, hard

for the first working day of the week.

Dance and Germnns.

The character and temperament OF
the population Of north Sleswick are
very quiet and peaceable. As an Of
fetal Prussian record Of criminal cases
states. there is in the whole German
empire no single province in which so
few sentences are passed by the GRIM
mai Judges as in north sleswick.
There were only half the Prussian aver
age of theft cases and cases Of robbery
with murder and murderous assault.
These favorable crime statistics are
due principally to the good bringing up
and intelligence OF the middle and
lower classes as well as to the cordial
and harmonious family life Of the Dan
ish population. Among the individual
members Of the family there always
exists n consistently affectionate and
hearty tone in their intercourse with
each other. I visited many theaters,
restaurants and inns, which were prin-
cipallg frequented by the Danish in
habitants. but nowhere saw an i'm
proper action nor an i'll hammered Of
tense. The intercourse between master
and servant is also always friendly and
polite.-W. Hartmann in Nineteenth

cnrins,tIns of Plants.

Times at which different plants open
and shut their petals have been invest-
gated, and it is commonly found that
the hour varies according to theamount
Of moisture in the air. The main
thing IS to protect the pollen from in
vading moisture, and since some plants,
such as the pimpernel, promptly close
their petals on the near approach OF
rain they serve as weather glasses.
Some plants seem to believe in a short
days work, the plmpernel, for instance,
opening at 8 in the morning and clos
ing at o'clock in the afternoon, the

business from 3 n. m. to 10 p. m.
