young man who practiced medicine
in rural district became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DR.. Pierce who afterward moved
to Buffalo, N. Y. He made up his
mind to place some of his medicines
before the public, and he put up
what he called his oFavorite Pre-
scription," and placed it with the
druggists in every state in the Union.
For fifty gears DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has sold more largely
throughout the United States than
any other medicine of like character.
It's the testimony of thousands of
women that it has benefited or en-
tirely eradicated such distressing all
ments as women are prone to. 1t is
now sold by druggists in tablet form
as well as liquid.

Downes climbed the machine as

to Hamilton. The latter climbed
out on one of the wings and jumped
off.
He fell more than 1000 feet be-

feet in diameter which caused a

London. Sept. 25.-Great Britain
has concurred in the Franco-Be:-

Limit to Obligations.
While recognizing that eacn

cabinet sees no reason TO doubt the

such plans to potential enemy by

1t is understood that the cabinet

Filled Molar

Atlanta, Sept 25.-Curious neigh
bors today continued to cluster
about 7-months-old Eva Catherine
Lee as she smiled in blue-eyed COM
placancy at the antics of the big
folk.
Eva apparently has cut a gold
filled molar.
To cut a molar. for one so young.
is remarkable. physicians say, but
to cut a gold-filled molsr-that's
something else still.
But there 1t is, a glistening gol-
den-ivory bit in the pink mouth.
Mrs. ]. T. Lee, the mother, says it
is gold
DIR. r. L. Hood, who helped Eva
find it, says the tooth looks like
the purest gold, but can assure you
1t is not gold.
There is evidently some discol-
oration of the enamel which gives
it the appearance of gold. About
half the tooth has that color. the rest
looks like any other healthy, normal
tooth"
Eva declined to talk.

Paris, Sept. 24.-No preliminary
for the American entries to the
Bennett race will be held, II was
definitely decided at this afternoons
meeting of the committee of selec-
ton at the Aero Club of America
headquarters.
The danger that perhaps not even
three of the five American planes
here would be ready Monday morn
ing when the rules require that the
final entries must be announced Oh
the Vile Savage field is likely to
end the perplexing problem as to
which machines should fly for
America This fact has caused the
committee to abandon the plan for
an elimination race and delay nam
ing the entries until Sunday night
just before the time limit expires.
No Trial for Dayton-wrisht.
The Aero Club authorities arr
worried because only one American
entry-the Dayton-Wright, which
has not yet been given a trial flight
here-ls now at Vile Savage, tho
others being still at Villa Conblay
and Morane Fields, near Paris. An
accident to any machine now will
be enough to prevent it flying in
the race.
No attempt has yet been made to
assemble the third Curtiss plane
brought over by Mr.. Cox for use in
an emergency. The crew is rushing
the manufacture of new wings for
the other two Cox racers which the
trial flight of the Texas Wildcat
showed were necessary but it is pos
sible they will have barely time TO
get one machine ready and at Vile
Savage by Monday morning.
American Chance Good.
Col. Sidney Veit, one of the MEM
bers of the committee of selection,
who has examined all the American
planes and most OF the French and
British entries, said to your corre-
spondent:
Barring accidents. we have an
excellent chance to win the Bennett
classic for America. l am very
much pleased with the looks and
performance of the American planes.
We have had a conference with the
French authorities in charge of the
race and are satisfied with all the
arrangements made. II will not be
possible. however. for us to enter one

School Notes (JOhn ROssWOg)

A rather dilapidated cornet was passing on to it's eternal rest in an ash can when, by one of those cruel turns of fate, William McGowan hap pened upon the scene. The cornet was immediately rescued and, upon finding that it still could make an in credible amount of noise, was added to Williams possessions. On Wednes- day morning it was taken to school, and by noon old cavalry bugIes, cor nets and many other horns were in evidence. William was prevailed upon to give an exhibition of his skill, but the audience have as yet been unable to decide whether he was making a imitation of a COW or a donkey. MT. Flames called up the school to protest that his slumbers were being broken during working hours, and today peace reigns once more.

School Notes

On next Friday evening there will be an evening session of the whole school, lasting from ' to 8:30 o'clock. At that time the years work in sew ing, drawing weaving and oenman- ship will be on exhibit, and will be of interest to all, we believe.
 Following the dismissal of the pupils there will be a brief meeting of the P. T. A., for which an interest ing program of music has been pre- pared. Each member will be expected to respond to roll-call with a sugges- tion for next years wOrk-either in the way of topics to be discussed or lines of work to be taken up.
 This kind of night school is an innovation in Cordova, and it is earn estly hoped that all parents and friends of the pupils will help to make it a success by their presence.
 Outside borrowers of books from the school library are reminded that 3 fine of cents per day is charged for each book that is kept out more than a week. We dislike rule of this kind, but find it necessary, as books are sometimes kept out of circulation for weeks by thoughtless or careless bor- rowers.
 Monday afternoon the pupils and teachers of the grammar grades and high school were favored with most interesting talk by Bishop Rowe, in which he related incidents connected with his twenty-five years of life spent in Alaska.
 Miss Wright was unable to be in school Thursday on account of ill ness.

 How true it is that we underesti mate people when we don't know how they really feel about things! Per haps if we really knew in what spirit most teachers live and work we would be able to overlook an occasional mis- take. We are not infallible as moth CTS, and we have the advantage of making our slips and blunders i'll the privacy of home. What must it be like to have forty or fifty pairs of keen eyes watching one all day long, and to know beyond peradventure that we are to be reported and quoted (oftener misquoted) in as many homes before bedtime.
 There should be visits to the school and an everyday interest in the prog ress of the work all through the year. An intimation that the parent has a glimmering of some of the trials of the teacher, and appreciates her eff forts, will do no harm, even to the most hardened pedagogue. - Mrs.
