RECIPE MIXED OFTEN.
Simple Homemade Mixture of
Vegetable Ingredients.

Some remarkable stories are be-
ing told about town and among the
country people coming in of this sim
pie homemade mixture curing rheu-
matism a d kidney trouble. Here is
the recipe and directions for taking:
Mix by shaking well in bottle one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparil-
la. Take as a dose one teaspoonful
after meals and at bedtime.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of good
water.
This mixture, writes one authority
in a leading Philadelphia newspaper,
has a peculiar tonic effect upon the
kidneys, cleansing the clogged-up
pores of the eliminative tissues, fore
ing the kidneys to sift and strain
from the blood the uric acid and 9TH
er poisonous waste matter, Overcom-
ing rheumatism, bladder and urinary
troubles in a short while.
A New York druggist who has had
hundreds of calls for these ingredi-
ents since the first announcement in
the newspapers last October stated
that the people who once try it
swear by it," especially those who
have urinary and kidney trouble and
suffer with rheumatism
The druggists in this neighbOrhood
say they can supply the ingredients,
which are easily mixed at home.
There is said to be no better blood
cleansing agent or system tonic
known, and certainly none more
harmless or simple to use.

THE FRESH AIR SCHOOL
SOMETHING UNIQUE AMONG EDU-
CATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
Is Being Tried in Providence. Hot
SOapstones Are Furnished Pu-
pills With Cold Feet.

A fresh air school, unique among
educational institutions in this coun-
try, has just been opened in Provi-
dence, R. |. The school will be con-
Quoted indoors, in that it is held in
side a building, but great swinging
windows on three sides of each room,
extending the length and width OF
each, and an extensive system of ven
tilation afford an atmosphere of cold,
pure air, making the room easily
adaptable to the conditions necessary
to comfortable hygienic study by ev-
cry student.
The idea of establishing the school
was first suggested by the Rhode Is
land League for the Suppression OF
Tuberculosis, which had heard OF the
satisfactory results attained by many
schools of the kind in European
countries. The system in operation
in the German schools, which is al
most universal throughout Europe,
has been adopted for the Providence
school with but few variations.
The small area of wall space in
the class rooms has been painted
shade of light green, a color found
to be agreeable to the eyes, and all
the articles in the room, besides be-
ing painted in harmony with the col
or of the walls, have been subjected
to a process of deodorization and
sterilization. Old-fashioned fireplaces
have been set into the walls in each
room. and in one large oven has
been constructed. One of the chief
purposes of having the oven is to
heat soapstones, which are to be fur-
inshed to children with cold feet.
The usual custom of removing the
outer wraps while in the class rooms
will not be followed in the fresh
air school," except when the weather
compels the closing of the large Win
dows. Students subject to cold eX-
tremities will have their feet and
legs encased in wooden bags, made
for the purpose, and wear gloves or
mittens when their studies and play
permit The chairs and desks and
other paraphernalia in the class
rooms have been constructed on port
able platforms, so that it will be pos
sible at all times to keep within the
RAYS of the sun. The school is
part of the city's regulation school
system.

The Dust of Columbus, the Discover
err, Again to Be Scraped Up.
The ashes of Columbus, the dis
coverer, have been exhumed, scraped
up. gathered and otherwise collected
a dozen or more times, and yet 1t
seems there is to be still another re-
clamation of the sacred dust by au-
thorities appointed by the American
and Dominican governments. Under
the Spanish-American treaty of Paris
the bones of Columbus were supposed
to have been removed from Havana
to Spain; but the DOminicans contend
that the remains Of Columbus were
never carried to Havana and COM
mission is to look into the matter.
1t really doesn't matter much to the
seaman who is dead, but there are
many people who, for the truth OF
history" want to dig him up some
more.

GEORGIA'S GREAT SENATOR
is NAMED BY NEW YORK WORLD
FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

Gives MIR. Bacon Post Among the
Greatest of Democratic Lead
ers of Today.
The New York World offers to the
consideration of the democrats of the
country for the presidential nomina-
ton the name of Senator A. o. Ba-
con of Georgia
The World is an independent dem
ocratic newspaper, and is opposed to
Mr.. Bryan 1t contrasts the position
of Senator Bacon and Mr.. Bryan on
vital public questions to the advant-
age of Senator Bacon 1t considers
the Georgia senator the more conserv-
alive and believes that his selection
of tariff reform and opposition to
ever increasing Capitalization of pow
err in the federal government as the
cardinal principles on which the par
ty should make the next fight shows
better judgment than that displayed
by Nh Bryan.
The World has already discussed
the advisability and recited the strong
points of the follow democrats, whom
it considers potential presidents:
Governor Johnson, of Minnesota;
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey;
Judge Gray, of Delaware; EX-Gov-
ernor Douglass, of Massachusetts;
Senator Culberson, of Texas; Govern
or Folk, of Missouri.
Senator Bacon's portrait is the
seventh to be hung on the line.
Not only has Senator Bacon de-
fined the real issues of democracy,
but he is man eminently fitted to
lead his party in a presidential cam
paign and bring it out of the slough
of despOnd.
1T is time the democratic party
return to the ancient practice of Sc
lecting democrats to frame the plat
form, and nominating democrats for
president. Seantor Bacon is man
fitted for either task His twenty
eight years of public life have been
years of service, not years of popu-
| listic agitation. He is one of the
ablest and most influential members
of the United States senate, studi-
GUS, self-contrOlled, self-pOised man,
who has won the respect of all his
colleagues. Senator Bacon would be
man in whose hands democrats
could safely trust the destinies OF
their party. He would be a candi-
date for whom democrats could con-
sistently votes

Drowned IN QUICKSAND STREAM

Jones, the hackman, says that it
looked easy to ford, and he plunged
into it. When about half way across
he felt the hack careening to one
side and then felt the sensation Of
the vehicle sinking beneath him. He
realized in a second that he was in
danger and got out into the water,
and saw the lady climb out with a
piercing scream. Then he caught a
glimpse of her floating down the
stream, and found himself floating
downward, the hack and horse hav-
ing disappeared from sight.
AS he ioated downward in the di-
rection of the~Fiver he caught hold
of an overhanging limb of tree and
held on with both hands. He heard
the lady scream twice more, and
then all he could hear was the noise
of the rushing of the waters.
1t was now dark and he could only
see dimly. Finally there came Mr..
Sep Humphreys, who had heard the
screams while at his house not far
away, and knowing that it must be
the cry of distress had hurried to
the branch or creek.
The hackman, with his body in
the water, hanging to the limb, called
to Mr.. Humphreys, who quickly re-
spOnded and succeeded in getting the
half frozen man to land.
1t was useless then to hunt for
Mrs. Byrd or the horse, so the hack
man was taken to the Humphreys
home and cared for until yesterday
morning, when he was brought into
the city
The horse was seen next morning
some distance down the stream in
the water, with his head out, nib
bling at the sprouts Of the canes that
line the stream. The hack had not
been seen up to next day at noon.
Those VINO are familiar with
Towns creek, as the little stream
is known, believe that the body of
the unfortunate lady fioated down the
stream to the river, and probably
passed by Macon during the night.
Mrs. Byrd was a Miss Taylor, and
was married in the latter part OF
last year. She had accompanied her
husband to Texas, and had returned
to pay her sister a promised visit.
The creek is said to have been the
scene of many narrow escapes. Mr..
James T. Rodgers, manager OF the
Singer Machine Company, lost a pair
of horses valued at $500 on Septem-
Der 28th of last year at this place.
He was going-to visit Mr.. Jones, the
brother-in-law of Mrs. Byrd, on
business matter. He found the
stream swollen after heavy rain
but thought he could ford it. Reach
ing the middle of the stream the
horses sank out of sight like the
dropping of bullet, as Mr.. Rodgers
describes the affair, and he managed
to get out of the buggy in some way
he cannot to this day tell how.
Some twenty-five years ago, 1t is
said, man was lost in the quick
sand of the bed of this stream.
Those who have known of the
stream and it's dangers say that II
would be an easy matter to bridge
it. but that the Jones county authori
ties have never made any effort II
that direction.

The Body Found.

The body of Mrs. Byrd was found
Monday morning. Relatives and
neighbors formed themselves into
searching party and for three days
they walked over a considerable area
covered with mud and little puddles
of water, with now and then drifts
of trash. leaves and twigs, when one
of them saw a foot and portion OF
dress protruding from pile of sand
and trash. This was the missing
body that had been carried down IN
the torrent of the swollen and an
CRY stream, and by some swirl OF the
water cast aside from the channel:
The water leaving it in its grave OF
sand, it remained there all night Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday nights.
There were no bruises on the BODY
except on one side of the face, where
the drifting body probably struck
some object in the water.
The body was found about two
hundred yards from the ford.
Mrs. Byrd was about Is years old,
and came from Oglethorpe, to which
place the body was shipped,

BROUGHToN ON DEMAGoGUEs.
Attacks Those Who Have Made Their
War Upon the Railroads.

DR.. Len G. Broughton in his regu-
lar sermon Sunday night made an
attack on demagogues, ascribing the
evil conditions of today to their work
in attacking railroad and other cor
porate interests and arraying the
people against wealth. He said there
were woes which needed correction
by the people, but that they needed
correction and not death. He re-
ferred to the wild and reckless
pledges made by politicians who seek
to gain Office by arousing the peo-
pie and making them believe they
had been traduced by those in office
and of the whirlwind these office
seekers had reaped when they Sc
cured their ends and had been placed
in power.

yos on Her Way From the West to
Visit Relatives in Jones County
After "a Long Absence.
FROM the Macon Telegraph.
Mrs. Walter Byrd was drowned in
-rown's creek, in Jones county, five
Niles from Macon, late Friday after
noon.
Mrs. Byrd was returning from
rovas. where she left cher husband,
- visit her sister, Mrs. J. ]. Jones.
Che arrived Friday afternoon on the
cotherns vestibule, reaching Macon
81 445. Although the cold rain was
ealing and she knew it would be
ante dark before reaching her des-
tiration she was so anxious to be at
tho home of her sister that she found
backman who agreed to carry her
IN the Jones home for two dollars.
II was about o'clock when the
backman, Johnnie Jones, started on
the trip through the falling rain, and
was soon on the Clinton road making
rbe best time he could on a slippery
roadway.
According to the best accounts they
reached Towns creek about $50 or
q little later. This stream is but a
thread of water running across the
roadway in dry weather, but from
the immense water shed swells into
an angry creek in a heavy rain, and
rushes onward to the river not a
great distance away.
Mrs. Byrd was familiar with this
stream. She told the hackman, so
he says, that he could cross it, but
she had evidently miscalculated the
amount of water in it, or had for
gotten that the bed of it was OF
treacherous quicksand.

licious When Finished.

Four pounds of flour, three pints
milk and water. one-half ounce of salt,
LIZ ounces fresh compressed yeast.
Place the flour in the bread bowl and
in it put the milk, water and salt. Mix
with the liquid enough of the -four to
make it a thin batter, next rub the
yeast to powder between, the hands
and mix into batter. Cover the bowl
closely and let it stand three-Quarters
of an hour. AT the end of that time
mix in the rest of the floor smoothly
and let the dough thus made stand
again closely covered 211a hours until
it is light and elastic. Then cut into
pound pieces and each pound into IL
