4 leading health Journal, in answer :ng the question, What Is the best prescription to clean and purify the bloody" prints in a recent issue the following: Fluid Extract of Dande- lion, one-half ounce; Compound Kar- gon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar- saparilla, three ounces. Shake we'll and use in teaspoonfui doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 It cleans the blood of all impurities and nourishes the blood. In just a few days the skin begins to clear of sores, boils and pimples. It puts vigor and energy into rundown. facilitated men and women. oFr many years Sar- saparilia alone has been considered a good blood medicine. But while 1t built up and made new blood. the inc purities remained within and the good accomplished was only temporary. Sar- sapariIla, however when used sn com bination with Compound Kargon and Extract Dandelion works wonders This combination puts the kidneys to work to filter and stft out the waste matter, uric acid and other impurities that cause disease. It makes new blood and relieves rheumatism and lame back and bladder troubles.
 This prescription is better than the usual patent medicines. which are in the most part alcoholic connections. The ingredients cost but little and are easily mixed at home. Every man and woman here should make some up and try 1t if they feel their system requires e good blood medicine and tonic.

cept the secondary or high schools of the State fro mthe Jurisdiction of the Commission. After an extensive argu- met on the provisions of the law on opinion of the body that 1t should not have e voice in naming the uniform text books for the high schools. The wording of the act of the last Legie- lature affecting this point had much to do with the decision finally reached.
 The law provides that the uniform series to be adopted by the Commits sion shall include the following branch RssainS. R 0h '& Writing. Geography. cram. mar Language Lessons. History of Ala. bama; containing the constitution of Elementary Principles of Agriculture, and "euch other branches of study as properly belong in common school
 After Q strict interpretation of the phrase, common school course" the members thought it well to act within the literal bounds of the law by which the Commission was created, and so schools the authority to name their own text books. It is understood that be- sides the provision of the law on the subject. 1t appeared to be the opinion on account of Improvements on the books required for high school use be- ing more frequent than on the element ary studies 1t was perhaps q hardship to confine a branch of study to sim gle book for five consecutive years.
 It was also decided to add to the ad- vertisement list maps, charts, etc, as properly belonging to common school course.
 A certified check Is to accompany all bids for contracts to furnish the books. The advertisements are to be prepared by Harry c. Gunnels, State Supertn- tendent of Education. who is the Sec retary of the Commission. The adver- tisements are to be so made as to reach every publisher in the Union.

 The surprise was no less to the members themselves. as was runored in the corridors of tho Capitol imme- diately after the adjournment of the commission. The rule of isolation has upset ali precedents fin the matter of procedure on the part of previous uni form text boards.

DR.. HYSLOP TESTS
SPIRIT PAINTINGS
Visits Scenes Goldsmith
Says He Limned Under
Dead Artists Spell.

NEW YORK, May 7.-Dr. James H.
Hyslop's Investigations into the mys-
teries of psychic phenomena and ther
counterfeits are leading him into strange
places. The secretary OF the American
Society for Psychical Research has just
returned from the BuzZard's S Bay couh-
Try after concluding a weird mission
His quest was for proof OF the verify
OF a dozen so-called spirit paintings
from the brush Of Frederick Thompson
a former goldsmith. who claims that
about two years ago a disembodled
voice-the voice OF the late r. Swain
Clifford, artist--called to him as he was
strolling through the National Art Gal
leries and told him TO take up and COM
plete the work that Mr.. clifford had left
unfinished.
IN response tc the call from the spirit
world, Thompson forsook his craft ana
took on the work of the artist. He put
on canvas the pictures that appeared 10
his spiritual vision. so he says, and then
he d .scOvered that the things he had
painted were portrayals OF actual scenes
in the district where Mr.. Clifford had
lived and worked
The landscapes and the marines that
Thompson executed, under the guidance
and at the bidding of a spiritual control
as he claims, were found by him 70 be
representative OF bits OF land and sea
In and about Martha's Vineyard, the
Elizabeth Islands, and Buzzard's Bay,
and ne rad never visited those parts
himself
Whether DR.. Hyslop found that
Thompson had directed him Alright and
that the spirit artist had. indeed, paint
ed real things while under psychic con-
troll. or whether he found 1t 10 be partly
true ana partly false or all false. is not
known. DR.. Hyslop viii not tell.
Il viii tell 1t all in my report 10 the
society" said DR.. Hyslop yesterday
