10 Typhoid Conquered?

Vaccination to prevent smallpox is
so general in this country and has
been so effective in abolishing what
was formerly one of the most destruc-
tive scourges of the human race that
nearly everybody except the small
number OF people whose temperament
predisposes them to take the other
side" accepts 1t as matter of course
and recognizes in 1t one OF the great
est blessings conferred by modern
medical advancement. But typhoid
vaccination is somewhat comparative
ly new, with which the public as
whole Is not familiar. Yet 1t will be
well for the public to take heed OF the
results that have been obtained by Its

DIR. David Starr Jordan tells the fol-
lowing story:
There was once a man who came
into his ONCE smacking his lips, and
said to his clerk The world looks
very different to the man who has
had a good glass OF brandy and soda

clerk, "and the man looks differently to
the world" And this is natural and
Inevitable, DR.. Jordan points out. for
the pleasure which exists only In the
Imagination leads TO action which has
likewise nothing to do with the de-
mand Of life. The mind is confused.
and may be delighted with the confu-
sion. but the confused muscles trem-
pie and halt The tongue is loosened
and utters unfinished sentences; the
hand is loosened and the handwriting
IL shaky; the muscles of the eye are
Embarrassed, and the two eyes move
independently and see double; the legs
are loosened, and the confusion OF the
brain shows itself In the confused walk.
And IL this confusion is long contin-
ued. the mental deterioration shows IL
self in external things-the shabby
hat. and seedy clothing. and the grad
ual drop Of the man from stratum to
stratum of society. till he brings up
some night in ditch. AS the world
looks more and more different to him.
SO does he look more and more differ
ent to the world"

Salts If Backachy and Kid
 neys Hurt.
Stop eating meat for 8 while if
 your Bladder is troubling you.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region 1t generally means you have been eating too much meat. says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become. sort of paralyzed and 'loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick head ache. dizzy spells: your stomach sours, tongue Is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine Is cloudy. full of sediment. channels often get sore. water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief tw- ur three times during the night.
 Either cc-su!t a good. reliable phy- sician ct once or get from your phar- n1acist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of wa ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the bined with lithia, and has been used sluggish kidneys. also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer ir- ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is 8 life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive can- not injure and makes a delightful, ef- fervescent lithia-water drink.

Short Sketch of Dead Senator.
United States Senator A. 0. Bacon
Of Georgia was born in Bryan county,
Georgia, October 20, 1889. He served
through the war and after the surren-
der began the practice Of law in Ma
con. He was elected to the Georgia
legislature in 1871, and was prominent
III public life from that time to pres
ent, a period of forty-three years. He
was declared to be one of the finest
presiding officers that the Georgia
house of representative ever had.
On tn death of Alexander H. Steph-
ems, Bacon was a candidate for gov
ernor, and came within hairsbreadth
of being nominated. At the critical
moment, a recess was taken during
which the opposition combined and
nominated Mcdaniel. Several years
later he was a candidate for the CUB
ernatorial nomination, but was defeat
ed by Gen. John B. Gordon.
In 1894 he was elected to the United
States senate and served his state
continuously at Washington since that
time AS chairman and member of
some of the most important commit
tees at Washington, Senator Bacon
had long been national firure, and
his post under the Wilson administra-
ton as chairman of the committee on
foreign relations was an Office which
carried with it recognition of the
highest qualities of craftsmanship.
In 1851 he joined the forces under
the starry flag of the Confederacy and
enlisted as adjutant of the Ninth Geor-
gia regiment.
In 1854 he was welded to Miss Vir-
ginia Lamar, of Macon, and when hos
