Cleans Blood
Through Kidneys
A Most Important Func-
ton and One to be Care
fully Guarded.

The purpose Of the kidneys being to
hitter the blood the question Of treating
supposed kidney weakness should be con-
sidered carefully. Instead of drugs and
alleged kidney stimulants the better plan
is to purify the blood with an antidotsl
effect such as you get from s. S. s.
1t should be remembered that the kid
neys are made up OF a fine net work Of
blood vessels, and It is to stimulate the
functional activity Of kidney tissue
through this capillary net work that
s: s. s. shows one Of its most remarkable
effects.
The medicinal value Of the components
of s. S. S. are relatively Just as vital to
healthy kidney action as the uutriment
obtained from grain. meat, fats, sugars,
or any other part Of our daily food Is to
the natural reconstructfve requirements
of the tissues. And there is one COM
ponent Of S. s. S. which serves the active
purpose of stimulating the cellular tissues
of the kidneys to a healthy and judicious
selection Of its own essential nutriment
Thus, In cases Of rheumatism, cystitis,
chronic sore throat, huskiness Of voice,
bronchitis, asthma, and the myriad of
other reflex Indications of weak kidney
action, first purify your blood with S. s. 8.
so 1t will enable the tissues to rebuild
their cellular strength and regain their
normal health.
You can get s. s. S. at any drug store.
but take no other so-called blood purifier
s. s. s. is purely botanical product.
and you will make a great mistake to-
have some enthusiast palm OF a mer-
curry. arsenic or iodide Of potash prepare
ton that may do you irreparable harm.
s. s. S. is prepared by The Swift spe-
cifc CO., 100 Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ca,
and IL you have any deep-seated or OBJ
sttnate blood trouble write to their Med.
,cal Department for free advice. It win
be worth Your while to do So

NAVAL COLLEGE PROPOSED.
Secretary Daniels Would Establish
Course of Instruction Here.

The establishment of naval war col
lege in Washington. with a winter course
of eight months, is advocated by secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels. He believes that
present Naval War College at Newport.
R., l.. should be open for four months in
the summertime, but that activities
should be transferred to the Capital dur
ing the months when scores of naval
officers are stationed here.
II have had under Amusement differ
ent measures to promote attendance az
the college" he said yesterday. "One
method is to make II compulsory before
an officer can be promoted to a cap
taincy. am certainly in favor of all
naval officers taking the long course. At
the present time attendance at Newport
is SO small that the college has larger
faculty than student body"

Decoration Day.

AS member of the Walter Barker
caapter Of the u. d. C's., have been
delegated to call attention of che public
generally, but more especially the good
citizens Of the City of Macon, and its
vicinity, to the fact that next Friday,
the 25th inst. has been selected as
Decoration Day, at which time the
Chapter will have an orator to deliver
an address at the cemetery, suitable
for such an occasion.
1t is hoped that the ladies' and citizens
of the city, who love the cause, for
which these dead heroes laid down their
lives, will try to be present on this oc-
casion, and bring with them all the
flowers they can procure, and let us try
to decorate the graves of these brave
men with the best and most beautiful
flowers we have. in memory of the
cause for which they died. Let this be
an occasion when only these graves
shall be remembered. On any other
day, or on any other occasion the other
graves Of your other loved ones can be
decorated. But let us make this day
special one for the Confederate Dead.
We desire to thank the business men
of our city for their past courtesies in
closing their places of business on these
annual occasions. Would it be too
much to ask to go out and hear the adj
dress GU this occasion, and thus en-
courage the speaker and the members
of this body? Your presence would be
an Inspiration to us all. 1t would re-
awaken our zeal and bring back the
memories of the DAYS when the "Boys
in Grey" left their homes at the call of
their country and laid down their lives,
if necessary, for the principles and the
cause so dear to every southern heart.
A few more years and the veterans of
those hard sought BATTLES will all have
passed away. If you believe they were

shouldn't we keep alive their memory
and the principles for which they con-
tend. and teach the present ard the
coming generations that, though they
failed, because might was stronger
than right" the truth. for which they
contend, will never die.
We give all most hearty invitation
to come out. and be with us, and help
us make the occasion worthy of the
cause for which these brave men Of
fered up their lives.
Very respectfully,

Paul Gilmore.
From San Antonio Light. J

ttrom san ANTONIO Light.
To his large repertoire of character
roles Paul Gilmore has made an addi-
ton that is totally different from any
part in which he has heretofore won
the plaudits of play-goers the country
oyer. In the principal character in
"The Havoc" drama presented 10
an appreciative audience at the Grand
Opera House last evening Mr.. Gilmore
shows a versatility that few actors
have been able to display either as an
inherent talent or as power developed
BY years of assiduous study of dramatic
art. To be able to change from the
role of popular hero to that of mat
ter-of-fact business man engaged in
the solution of domestic problem that
enwinds the very tap-roots of human
happiness and life itself-that is no
mean accomplishment.
1t is the peculiar method OF solving
this problem that makes The Havoc"
an unsual drama 1t is Mr.. Gilmore's
artistic handling of the piece, with
Miss Kathryn Hutchinson to compli-
ment his ability, that gives the play
extraordinary strength.
