Every mother possesses information
which is Of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modestY
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:- First Lottery

AWAKENING OF THE PEOPLE.

All over the land there is real
and a general awakening of the peo-
pie as to performance of duty by
public servants. And this does not
stop at the president, at congressman
and at governors of states. 1t goes all
the way down the line. 1t says to
each and every public servant, even
down to the officials of the smallest
town and to the constable out in
the country district: I'VE expect
you to do your duty, we expect you
to do the things we elect you to do,
that we pay you to do, that you take
the oath of office to do; we want you
to toe the mark and do your duty,
remembering that a man placed in
office should have no aspiration high
er than the faithful performance of
duty and to win the confidence of
his people
That is the sentiment of the peo-
Die today. There is no sort of doubt
about it, and the official who doubts
it and closes his ears to the voice of
his people is foolish and will live to
repent his blindness or stiff-necked
course.
There is no "fanaticism, no wave
of "crankism," in this attitude of
the public mind. 1t is a real awak-
ening of the people, who mean to
have faithful and honest adherence
to duty High and low alike Of
office-holders may be warned where
any one of them knows he is not
living up to his duty and his oath
OF Office.

Those Stingy Men.

It is said that three of the stingi-
est men in the state were in town
Yesterday. One of them will not
drink as much water as he wants I'M
less it is from another mans we'll.
The second forbids any Of his fami-
ly from writing anything but a
small hand" as it is a waste of ink
to make large letters. The third
stops his clock at night in order to
save the wear and tear on the ma
chinery. All of them decline to take
their county paper on the ground
that it is terrible strain on the
spectacles to read newspapers even
in the day time.-Valdost Times.

A Disturbed Secretary.

From the Savannah News.)
Mr.. Bonaparte, the secretary or
the navy, is greatly disturbed by the
made by Mr.. Bryan some
time ago that the people should elect
a democratic house to help the pres
ident carry into effect his policies.
In a speech at Elkton, Md, on Mon
day night he said: 1T would be
hard to find more impudent APP
peal to stupid credulity than the
claim of those democratic takers
who ask your votes that they may
help a republican president against
his own republican party"
There is no reason why Mr.. Bona
parte should make such a display OF
Indignation 1t is quite generally un-
derstood that the most popular poll
cies of the president were cribbed
from the democratic platform. His
fight to make the trusts comply with
the laws and his recommendations
for the regulation Of the railways
were in line with what Mr.. Bryan
had been advocating long before the
president thought of adopting them
Since his return from his trip abroad
Mr.. Bryan has frequently COM
mented on the freedom with which
the president has appropriated the
doctrines of the democratic plat
form, and the justice of the COM
ments' has been generally admitted

,,opr COMMON SENSE NEEDED.


The News agrees with a contem-
porary that it is high time that a
lot of experimenting doctors and
sensational journalists quit soaring
the people to death. More than one
half the illness today is caused by
lively imagination fostered by de-
tailed publication of the theo-
ries of doctors. They may act from
the best of motives, but it would be
as we'll if a great deal of their the
orizing were confined to medical
journals. where it can be read by
those who can take it for what II
is worth. AS our contemporary
points out, our forefathers ate what
they wanted and drank water from
the springs and brooks with never
thought of the microbe, and they
lived to a green old age. We strain
and filter and boil and examine and
test and worry and stew, and most
of us die untimely from digestive
troubles, if we escape an operation
for appendicitis. Let's have little
more common sense, little less pop
ular science and a whole lot better
health

The viii of the People.
(From Griffin News and Sum-

(From Griffin News and Sun
The Dawson News says:
Judge Arthur Powell is said to
be the only one of the new court Of
appeals who does not aspire to be
the presiding justice of that tribunal.
With Judge Powell eliminated, The
News is decidedly in favor OF Judge
Dick Russell for that honor. There
are many reasons why he is the log
ical man for the place, and his hosts
of southwest Georgia friends are GO
ing to be disappointed if he doasn I
get it,
Judge Russell received fifty per
cent more votes than either of the
other gentlemen elected. He is
widely known, generally esteemed,
thoroughly qualified and most eX-
perienced, and there is no doubt
whatever-judging not only from
these facts, but from expressions all
over the state similar to those of our
Dawson contemporary-that the
people of Georgia would prefer him
as the head of the new bench.

THE sOUTH,s GREAT NEED.

A review of labor conditions in
the southern states shows that the
great need Of the south at the pres
ent time is an adequate supply OF
efficient labor. 1t is pointed out that
with such supply the amount OF
cotton manufactured in the mills OF
the south could be increased by 5OO,-
600 bales next year; that the iron
and steel business of the south could
be doubled in five years, and that the
railroads could increase their facili-
ties so as to be able to handle the
constantly growing traffic of this sec
ton. 1t is not only in the mills and
factories that the lack Of labor is
felt, but on the plantations as we'll,
for not only have many of the ne
groes left the plantations, but it is
estimated that the average efficiency
of the negro laborer has decreased
at least fifty per cent. Conditions
are being improved in some sections
by immigration from Europe and
from the north, and the railroads OF
the south are constantly bringing the
of this section to the
attention of workingmen in all parts
of the country.

RoosEvEL.r,s MAN MOODY.

President Roosevelt's decision to
appoint Acknowledgement Moody to
fill the vacancy on the supreme court
bench is due to his determination to
have on that tribunal man in har-
mony with his own views as to CEN
tralization in government and the
building up of the power OF the
president at the expense of the states
and of congress- He hesitated for
a time between Mr.. Moody and Judge
Lurton, OF Tennessee. The reputa-
ton of the latter as an able and up
right Judge is as high as that OF
any man on the bench, but he has
indicated by his decisions a belief
that the constitution means what II
says, and that it was intended to
safeguard the reserved rights of the
states. and so he was passed over
for a man whose legal attainments
have been something of joke IN
Washington.

TO CONVOY THE PRESIDENT.

(From the Macon telegraph
The Albany Herald does not UNI
derstand some things, neither do 9TH
ers of us, but let the editor of the
Herald speak for himself:
when the president sails for Pan
ANA he will be conveyed. He has
selected the battleship Louisiana, one
of the prides of the navy, for his
flagship; but the Louisiana alone
might not meet fully the exacting re-
uuirements of the occasion. So the
Washington and Tennessee, two OF
Uncle Sans new armored cruisers
and the most powerful war craft OF
their type af1oat, are going along as
convoys. In time of war it has long
been customary for prudent nations
to send conveys Of warships with
richly-laden merchantmen, but this
conveying of American presidents is
something entirely new. Even the
king of England, the emperor OF
Germany and the ever-territied car
Of Russia do not hesitate TO sail
European seas in their private yachts
unguarded by frowning battleships
and cruisers. Why, then, is not the
president of the United States to be
considered safe in American waters
in a battleship-in an unarmored
pleasure yacht, even?
But when Mr.. Roosevelt goes
down to take a peep at the lsthmus
and canal operations he needs must
be guarded by three of the most for
midable ships that fly the Stars and
Stripes; for some imprudent captain
of a undertaken schooner or tramp
steamer might-who knows?-sail
too close to the presidential flag
ship, and it would then become the
painful duty of the conveying squad
ron to blow the intruder out of the
water.
and all this causes us to wonder
how long il will be before the pres
idential armored train makes its ap-
pearance.
1t might be suggested that the
Herald does not keep up with the
procession of things.
Teddy the Turrible" seems to be
moving grandly, surely, increasingly
in the direction of empire, with all
it's pomp, circumstance and power.

To ALI Persons Concerned:

To All Persons Concerned:
1t is embarrassing to me to
announce that | am still help
less, and can't open my office

ing in for my professional ser
vices; phoning me to know
when | will be ready to re-
ceive patients, and by written
notes which ask me plainly
when will | be ready for serv-
ing persons who need my SER
vices.
The whole truth is that the

instruments by common
freight as hardware, there be-
ing too much in weight, 800
pounds, to ship by express,

boxes, are still not received in

If | get no satisfactory hear
ing from them, and the agents

FEWER PAUPERs IN THE SOUTH.

The census bureau has published
an interesting report on the number
of paupers in alms-houses in the
United States on December 81, 1903,
with comparison with the census
figures for 1890 and 1880. They
show decrease in the number Of
paupers in proportion to the total
population. The total number on
December 81, 1905, was 81,764, or
1914 for each 100000 of the total
population, against 1865 on June l.,
1890, and 1872 on June /, 1880. The
southern states, as whole, make
much better showing than any other
section of the country, the number
per 100000 in the south Atlantic
states on December 81, 1905, having
been 1874, and in the central south
ern states but APT. The proportion
for the south Atlantic states would
have been much smaller but for the
high figures for Delaware and Mary
land, which were 1853 and 1871,
respectively. In 1890 the propro-
ton for the south Atlantic states
was 1913 and for the central southern
states AS. The lowest proportion in
any state in 1906 was 10.1 in Louis
lana, and the highest was 403.9 in
Nevada.
