TRAINS DERAILMENT

MACON. Ca, Jam 27.-Special Agent
w. ]. Poole of the Central Of Georgia
railway, has just returned from Smarrs
station, about 20 miles from Macon,
where he succeeded in learning the
cause of what came near proving a
near disastrous wreck yesterday after
noon. The agent stated that Mollie
Coogler, the 13-year-old daughter Of i.
A. Coogler, foreman of the Smarrs sta
ton section, confessed that she and a
little negro playmate drove three spikes
into the switch at the siding Just to
see the train run over the spikes!" The
train was derailed, but soon placed back
on the track and continued its way to
Macon. No one was injured.
Owing to the youthful age of the little
girl. she was not arrested and 1t is not
expected that any prosecution will re-
suit However, her parents have agreed
to see that she is not guilty of such
thing again. She was the daughter or
the section foreman.

Smoke Of Herbs
Cures Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way
and It Costs Nothing to Try.


This preparation of herbs, leaves
flowers and berries containing no to-
bacco or habit-forming drugs) is either
smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or
smoking tube. and by drawing the med
icated smoke into the mouth and inhal-
ing into the lungs or sending 1t out
through the nostrils in a perfectly nat
ural way, the worst case Of Catarrh can
be eradicated.
1t is not unpleasant to use, and at
the same time 1t is entirely harmless,
and can be used by man, woman or
child.
Just as Catarrh is contracted by
breathing cold or dust and germ-laden
air, Just so this balmy antiseptic smok-
ing remedy goes to all the affected
parts OF the air passages Of the head
nose, throat and lungs. 1t can readily
be seen why the ordinary treatments
such as sprays, ointment, salves, hq-
uid or tablet medicines fail-they do
not and can not reach all the affected
parts.
If you have catarrh OF the nose,
throat or lungs, choking. stopped-up
feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; II
you are given to hawking and splitting:
this simple yet scientific treatment
should cure you.
An illustrated book which goes thor
oughly into the whole question OF the
cause, cure and prevention Of catarrh
will, upon request, be sent you by DR.

costs one dollar for the regular treat
ment, ~ is within the reach Of everyone.
