A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole
Body-Make You III, Languid
and Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of life
giving albumen from the blood into the
urine, and the substitution of poison
Gus uric acid that goes broadcast
through the system, sowing the seeds
of disease. Loss of albumen causes
weakness, languor, depression. Uric
poisoning causes rheumatic pain, nerv-
onsness, nausea, cricks in the back,
gravel and kidney stones. The proper
treatment is a kidney treatment, and
the best remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills.
i. B. Tate, Retired veteran. living on
Taylor St., Abba, Ia, says: For
several years had a dull aching across
the loins. If caught cold the trouble
would be greatly aggravated the action
Of the kidney secretions was weak and
they contained heavy, red sediment
| used several remedies that were
recommended to me but none appealed
to my case until tried Doan's Kidney
Pills and this medicine soon eased and
then eradicated the complaint. If any
little ache, pain or any symptom of my
old trouble appears | take a few doses
Of Doan's Kidney Pills at once as al
ways prove successful. Mrs. Tate has
also used them for kidney aches and
pains, and she also speaks highly of this
remedy"

Teachers And Holidays.

Woodbury. county schools are report
ed extremely lacking in the number Of
teachers required. The cause assigned
by the report is a penurious policy in
wages. The teachers simply will not
work for the salaries paid. They can
find better paying and more constant
work.
1t would seem that the rural teacher
is coming into her kingdom to some
extent and able to command some de-
gree Of respect by reason Of scarcity.
In the matter of wages at least she is
being better appreciated. She must
be paid the wages of a man who feeds
the hogs or she finds another job. A
school without teacher is often an
educative influence in community.
The mistake of the rural school di-
rector, or perhaps it were better said
of the majority Of rural school boards.
is that they fail to treat the teacher
who mothers their children eight hours
out of the twenty-four as we'll as they
do the man who feeds the hogs. The
hired man working by the month may
take legal holiday and spend it as he
sees fit. He isn't asked or required to
"make it up" In most instances the
school ma am must teach on holiday
or loose the day. The rural mail car
rier, the school ma am in the city school,
the clerk in the store, state and county
officers observe legal holidays and draw
their pay. When the children's day is
on at the fair the average director
"holds out" on the school ma'am. He
ought to urge her to attend and take
her school in a body and the day should
be hers freely.
1t is gratifying to see the country
school ma am getting part Of what is
coming to her. No class of workers
are generally more deserving. Wher
district directors and township boards
begin to treat the rural teacher as the
city school boards treats her sister ir
the city schools both as to salary and
courtesy there will be few school
houses vacant for lack of teachers.

e. pLURIBUs UNUM.
How This Motto Came Into Use on
u. S. Coins.

The motto "E Pluribus Unum," never
authorized by law to be placed on the
coin of the United States, first APP
peared on an American coin i'll 1856.
There was no United States mint then,
and, in fact, no United States, the
constitution forming the the Union not
having as yet been adopted. There was
a private mint at Newburgh, N. Y, and
"'E Pluribus Unum"was first placed on a
copper coin struck at this mint. Few
collections have specimens of this coin,
and it is valuable. In 1887 New York
goldsmith coined a piece of money
which was known as "the sixteen-dollar
gold piece" and upon it the motto was
STAN ped in this form: "Unum Pluri-
bus" Only four of these coins are
known to be in existence. They are
valued at more than $4,000 each. New
Jersey issued various copper coins in
1887 with the motto stamped upon
them. A great many of the early coins,
before there was any legal authority
for national coinage, were made in Eng
land. Most of these were copper and
were coined for different states, and all
bore the words "E Pluribus Unum.'
The United States mint was established
In 1892, but the use of the national
motto on any of the gold, silver or cop.
per coins was not authorized or direct
ed by any of the provisions of the act
establishing it. The motto remained or
the early gold and silver coins until
1884, when it was omitted from the gold
coins. In 1885 it was omitted from the
25-cent pieces, and in 1887 from al
silver coins. 1t was not stamped on
any coin again until it appeared on the
nickel and the standard silver dollar.

AS has been the case to spend
Thanksgiving in the fields hunting and
shooting, this past Thanksgiving was
up to the standard, but not devoid of a
shooting accident. Lewis Mease, a
young man from Truro who came down
with Prof. Tye, got too anxious about
killing rabbit while out hunting that
after shooting and Gripping it took
the breach of his gun and began to
finish Mr.. hare. First lick broke the
stock and second brought the hammer
back and third discharged the gun, the
ball, a %, lodging in the thigh of the
young man. He was brought to town
and the Drs. probed for the ball but
with no results. The young man de-
parted home Saturday feeling not much
the worse, only a slight limp, than
when he came. Owing to the smallness
of the caliber nothing of serious
nature is expected to come from it

HIGH GRADE SHIPMENT.

The last shipment of the Pitts
burg-Liberty ore from the mine in
the Masonic district averaged slight
ly over $1,000 the ton after the smell
ter and freight charges were paid.
The returns have just been received
on the shipment and they show that
the shipment consisted of 33,279R
pounds and that the net amount due
the Pittsburg-Liberty company after
the smelter charges were paid was
$17,296.02. The freight charges on
the ore from Minden to the smelter
were $29.65 the ton The Pittsburg-
Liberty people firmly believe that the
property is going to prove to be one
of the best in this great mining Sec
ton and few more shipments of
high grade like this will convince
even the critics that their sanguinity
is well founded Carson News.
