TO AIIlNG WOMEN.
a Little Sound Advice VIII Help Many
Sufferer in Americas.

No woman can be healthy and we'll
if the kidneys are sick Poisons that
pass off in the secretions when the
kidneys are we'll are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
neys and bladder become inflamed and
swollen and worse troubles quickly
follow. This is often the true cause
of bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, sideache, etc, Uric acid poison
ing also causes headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness and rheumatle
pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will
return when the kidneys are we'll. Let
an Americas woman tell about Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Allie L. Cobb, 2O5 Mayo ST.,
Amer!cus Ca, says:
81 suffered from kidney trouble for
several years. l was subject to at
tacks of pain in the small of my back
and at times l had headaches and felt
dull and languid. Some time ago I
was advised to try Doan's Kidney
Pills and 1 procured a box at Dod-

| SCARED HORSE
SCATTERED gems
100000 Worth Of Them
Kicked into Street

New Yirk, April 24.-The traditional
bull in a china shop was run a close
second here by a hOrse-an aged and
totally blind horse at that-whicn
kicked his way through two big plate
glass windows Of a jewelry store at
the corner of Maiden Lane and Broad
way and sent the 100000 worth Of
diamonds in the window flying in all
directions.
Precious stones by the tens of thous-
ands dollars worth We're swept into
the street, buried among masses Of
finely broken glass. Policemen sta
toned at this, one of the busiest cor
ners in downtown New York, in the
heart Of the wholesale jewelry district,
had all they could do to control the
crowds which pushed into the thick Of
the fray and watched the proprietors
and clerks pick the gems out of the
debris and save everything possible.
The jewelers. said it would take an
inventory to tell if anybody had gotten
away with any of the gems.
Quick as the crowd moved, it did
not beat Patrolman Daily, traffic man,
who leaped from the middle of BroaI-
way into the heap of broken glass.
Daily blew his whistle as he jumped,
and that brought John Roberts (Big
john, who guards the John street
crossing. In two minutes more four
or five other patrolmen were on the
spot, and the jewe'ed sidewalk was
barred to all but the jewelers. clerks.
Every man, woman and boy in the
store, including Barthman himself,
grubbed among the broken glass. Not
a single stone had been left in the
window. Every brooch, pin, chain and
plush ring case had been swept into
Broadway. On top of pile of broken
glass, curled up like a snake, lay a
chain of 68 diamonds, which you
could have for $1,000. Nearby was a
diamond, value $500, also a brooch
whose price tag bore the jewelers. pri-
Vate symbol for 1850 Other pieces
just as valuable were lying around.
The clerks worked hurriedly, almost
feverishly, among the pay dirt cf
Broadway Indeed, they worked so
quickly that they cut their fingers
They grubbed among the glass for the
shining pieces and transported the
glass itself to the counters within.
They intended to save every bit of the
window, for it was possible that the
debris might contain loose stones that
had been tor nfrom their settings. In
few minutes they had the sidewalk
clean and sent out for a supply OF
court plaster.
Meantime Broadway traffic was at a
standstill. Against the police barrier
pressed an inquisitive crowd, eager To
help, if permitted to do so. But DAILY
and his aids were not taking any
chances with the treasure.
AS for the horse, he is worth just
$40.

MOVEMENT over SOUTH GEORGIA
Special Efforts viii Be Made Bring Representatives Here From Ever
South Georgia LibFdyAmeCuS Library Can Secure Books From
Other Libraries For Students

Mrs. Lucy C. Taylor, the librarian,
brought back a glowing report from
the meeting of the Georgia Librarians
at Athens. She came back enthused
over the great part the public libra
ries are to play in the intellectual
life of the future, and especially Of
the closer association they are to have
with the educational institutions of the
land.
much stress was laid in the dis
cussions," says Mrs. Taylor, ION the
closer utilization of the public libra
ries with the public school and higher
educational institutions. 1t was graf
flying to me to remember, when re-
marks along this line were being made
that our Americas library has already
attached itself strongly to the public
school system of the city and the
county and that excellent use has
already been made of its facilities for
research on the part of teachers and
pupils. There is evidently a strong
sentiment among those engaged in Ii
brary work that special efforts should
continue to bring about a still more
intimate relationship between the
schools and the libraries and that the
two should work hand in hand along
definite lines.
81 told Them" continued Mrs. Tay-
lor "of what we had done here in that
direction and they appeared pleased
to know that a new library, in a
small city like ours, is working along
this channel. We have our High
School students making excellent use
of our facilities for investigation in
preparation for their debates. Not on,
ly them, but students and pupils in
the schools in the smaller towns OF
the county and some of the country
schools are also awaiting themselves Of
our collection. This use of the libra

Tonight, at Knights of Pythias Hall

Order Sons OF America, VIII be in
stituted.
Washington Camp No. IA will be the
second branch OF this purely American
order in Americas. Washington Camp,
No. "a, was instituted here about three
years ago, has been very prosperous,
and embraces over one hundred citiz-
ems in it's membership, many of them
leading citizens of Americus.
Some time ago it was felt that the
time was ripe and the material ade-
Quate for a second camp. Another
camp, it was held, would create a
feeling of generous rivalry that would
promote the interests Of the order in
this city and county.
The new camp will begin its career
with thirty-one members and the fol-
lowing officers:
J. E. Mathis, Past President;
G. l.. Williams, President;
W. P. Warlick, Vice-President;
J. H. Clark, Master of Forms;

one of the most important features
of it's work. AS one librarian said,
get hold of the growing boys and
girls, show them how to make the best
use of a library, how to use its for in
formation of value, and the next gem
Grafton will be the most ardent sup
porters of such institutions
Mrs. Taylor also learned while at
the convention that the resources of
the other libraries of the state were
at the command of the Americas Ii
brary.
IF we are in need for a time of
some works on a special subject that
our school boys and girls, or any one
else for that matter, may be studying,
we can draw on the other libraries for
works bearing upon it," explained Mrs
Taylor. THAT is one of the delight
full bits of information l obtained.
Our library would assume RESPONSE
bility for the borrowed books and our
members would have the use of them
for such time as necessary for then
work. This will greatly increase the
efficiency of our library hereafter to
Students"
Ms. Taylor was the only South
Georgia librarian at the Athens meet
ing. Next April, when the Georgia
Association meets in Americas, a spe.
cial effort will be made by the library
here to bring representative of ii
brary work together from every small
town and city in South Georgia, as
we'll as other parts of the state. The
great progress that is being made II
this section, the eagerness of the PEG.
pie for intellectual as we'll as material
advancement, makes it quite probable
that the April, 1912, gathering here
will be a red letter occasion in the Ii
brary development of all South Geor-
gia.
