BACKACHE
By L. n. Smith. n. d.

In spite Of the best care one takes OF
oneself. any part OF tho human machine
n liable to become out Of order. The
.most important organs are the stomach.
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the pol
sons from the blood. Their signals Of dis
tress are easily recognized and include
such symptoms as backache, depressions.
drowsiness. irritability. headaches. dizzi-
ness, rheumatic twinges. dropsy. govt.
The very best way to restore the kid
.neys to their normal state is to drink
plenty of pure water and obtain small
amount Of Anuric, which is dispensed by
most every druggist. Anuric is inexpen-
sive and should be taken before meals. 1t
is much more potent than lithia and
many find that Anuric dissolves uric acid
as water does sugar.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys. just as do
the bowels. need to be flushed occasion
ally. The kidneys are an eliminatve or
gan and are constantly working, separat-
ing the poisons from the blood Under
this continual and perpetual action they
are apt TO longest and then trouble
starts. Uric acid backs. up into the sys-
ten, causing rheumatism, neuralgia,
Gropsy and many other serious disturb
ances. II means that you are victim to
eric acid poisoning. Then ask your drug
cist for AnGric which was first dscov-
cred by Dr Pierce of the Surgical Insti-
tute in Buffalo. and which is dispensed
by nearly every druggist in the land

The results of Thursday nights
rainstorm were in evidence Saturday
on the kennebec river when there was
quite rise of water. about IS inches.
which was something remarkable con-
siderins the short duration of the
storm. The water in the river began
to rise Friday morning and the rise
continued until o'clock. Saturday
morning when the rise reached its
maximum height of 10 inches. 1t held
its own until late Saturday afternoon
when it began to drop. and at 6 o'clock
had dropped two inches. 1t was said
that the greater part of the water
came from upriver. and was due to a
considerable extent to the melting of
snow by the mild weather which fol-
lowed the rain.

OQU0SSOC PROUD
OF ITS HANDSOME
new LOG CHURCH
Harrington JournaD

Oquossoc is very proud Of it's new
Union church which has recently been
completed, or at least very nearly so
!. IS claimed to be the only log church
IN New England and is certainly a very
pretty building both as to interior and
exterior.
The building stands on what has
long been known as 1.-THE old river
drivers camp site" and is on the
main road from Rangeley village to
Halnes Landing, within a few min
utes' walk of the Mountain View
Hotel; in fact, it was at this re-
nowned hotselry that the idea had it's
birth.
Inc work was commenced last win
ter by the resident population. who
started building fund, negotiated for
the land, got out the logs and had
everything IN readiness for beginning
the building as soon as the ground
was free of frost in the Spring.
The church is built of peeled spruce
logs donated by the Coe Estate. and
stands on land leased from the Union
water POWER Company. The location
itself is a very lovely spot, being level
with large cleared space in front be-
tween the building and the highway
and only few STEPS from beautiful
Lake Oquossoc. A Ladies' Aid has
helped materially toward the work
summer visitors to the lake region
have donated largely and are still
sending In contributions
Among the many donors are Huph
Chisholm of New York City, who gave
the doors and windows; Mr.. and Mrs
James w. Fry Of Philadelphia, Noun
tam View guests, who gave Cressey
d Allen organ: Frank H. Briggs of
Washington D. c., formerly of Auburn,
who provided the funds and superin-
tended the building Of rustic pulpit;
| Mrs. J. N Wells of New York City,
who donated large church Bible, and
r. L. SPOTS, also Of New York City,
who has fine summer home over on
Lake Mooselookmeguntic and who
made up the sum required for the seats
| after the Ladies' Aid had raised part
Of the money by their motor boat ex-
cursion.
Arson o. Hayford Of Oquossoc had
charge Of the building, hiring Leon
Wright Of Rangeley, who is known as
one of the best log cabin builders In
the State, to lay up the logs.
The first preaching service was held
there on July &c. by the Rev H. A.
Childs, pastor Of the Baptist church
In Rangeley.
There have been no regular services
there so far. Mr. Childs going down oc-
casionally when he could spare time
from his other duties. but Sunday

Yeomans for Court of Appeals.

The proposed candidacy of M. J. Yeo-
mans. of Dawson, for one of the three new
appellate court judgeships, recently created
by the legislature, has elected endorsement
of him from every section of Georgia, and
The News. in common with his numerous
friends and admirers in this his home town
and section, takes great pleasure in bespeak-
ing his eminent fitness for the position and
in expressing the hope that he may be chosen
to fill it.
Mr. Yeomans is a gentleman of scholarly
attainment and of sterling character and
integrity, and during his twenty years of
practice he has established reputation as
one of the ablest lawyers in this part of the
state As a member of the legislature he
has been recognized as one of the leaders
of that body, and he was one of the authors
of and one of the most untiring workers
for the measure for the relief of the court
of appeals by giving it additional judges.
He was also the author of the free school
book law, and received much commentator
for his work in that connection He has
also occupied the position of chairman of
the state democratic executive committee
with credit
Mr.. Yeomans possesses in a rare degree
the attributes which go to the making of an
able jurist, and his elevation to the appellate
bench would be an honor worthily and judi
ciously bestowed.

HoaV the Hot Spells Come.
From The Kansas Citv Star.

At time like this the weather fOrecasters
in Washington, watching for an indication
of the breakup of the abnormal weather,
keep one eye on the Atlantic ocean and the
other on the Pacific. Slight changes in the
baromeric conditions in the West Indies and
the Azores, combined with changes in Homo
lulu and Alaska, may be the forerunners
of a resumption of normal conditions
throughout the United States.
In the summer, as the land heats up, the
oceans remain considerably cooler than the
continents. So masses of cool, heavy air
accumulate over them, eddying about CEN
ter in the direction taken by the hands of a
| clock. These great eddies show high bar
ometric pressure, and so are called highs. "
In the summer months they usually occupy
a definite position, with little shifting. When
this is the case the season is normal
But let them shift few hundred miles
and they play hob with the weather of the
Mississippi valley. Last simmer, for in

The Fruitage of Miscegenation

A news item printed elsewhere in this is
sue, sent out from Denver, Colo, ought to
carry admonition and warning of impressive
nature to those white people whose fanati-
cism and perverted reasoning leads them to
uphold what we in the South call miscegena-
ton.
This white mother in Denver was willing
to wed a man who she knew had African
blood, even a small strain, in his veins. She
did not know of or if she did she ignored
the protests, the warning of Nature, of race
pride, against such unions. Now she is hor-
rifed to find that of her twin children one
is black-a negro-and the other white, as
herself And she has fed from public view,
with her sorrow and shame.
If she knew before marriage, of the re-
suits that might follow she does not merit
sympathy now. Her disregard of race pride,
of Natures memorable law, should justify
the penalty.
All the Southern states, long ago, put the
ban of law on unions in marriage of whites
and negroes Some of the states do not i'm
pose any prohibition. 1t is surprising, pass
ing strange, inasmuch as white men make
the laws in all the states, that miscegenation
is not forbidden by law in every state. Not
only did white sentiment in the South de-
mand such legislation but we have yet to
find reputable negro in the South who does
not accept the inhibition as right and proper
The best element of the negro race has never
sought or advocated social equality of the
nature implied by marriage.
Those people who lack race pride, proper
conception of the moral and material import
ance and value of race purity, must surely
pay the penalty in such instances as here
discussed, not to speak of other no less de-
plorable tendencies.

Concerted Action Called For.

Facing destructive invasion by the boil
weevil the farmers of Terrell county, along
with their brethren in other counties of
Southwest Georgia, have been properly turn
ing their attention to the question of crop
Investigation. They have heard much dis
cussion of the feasibility of profitable pro-
duction of food products, and they are plan
ming, very seriously, we believe, to under
take in a large measure the substitution of
other crops for cotton and the raising of
hogs and cattle on a considerable scale.
A number of farmers have already put it
into practice in varying extent, but the
greater number have thus far stuck to the
cotton route as the surest means of ready
money, and with the idea that they can reap
one final harvest of dollars from large cot
ton crop before the weevil really goes to
work in earnest.
There can be little doubt that the change
to more diversified farming, if it is to be
undertaken substantially will not be abso-
lutely simple The adjustment is not going
to be a decidedly easy one. Profit will come
from it, we along with many others hope
and believe, but it will require much study
and effort and will likely involve considera-
BILE difficulties and some disappointment.
Would it not be good idea to meet these
changing conditions with as much unanim-
ity of action as possible? 1t seems to us
that effort at production would be more in
telligent and the problem of marketing
would be immeasurably simplified and made
more profitable by the producers uniting as
much as possible for the common good. Some
central organization for the county or i'm
mediate geographical section, with compe
tent and aggressive men in charge, could
accomplish much in this direction. 1t could
maintain a department for obtaining and
disseminating needed information, and, most
important of all, a selling bureau which
would find the best markets for the farmers
products and insure fair dealing for them at
the other end of the line.
We do not attempt to offer any definite
plan along this line, but it seems that those
interested should be able to work one out on
a practical basis. The fruit producers of
California the citrus growers of Florida,
the strawberry raisers of Louisiana and cat
tie men of the West have established such
organizations with exceeding profit to them
selves. We believe something of the kind
could be done with equal success in this sec
ton. At any rate, we offer the suggestion
for what it may be worth.
