A FREE LIBRARY
FOR EVERY COUNTY

Every county in Tennessee that
wants one may now have a county
free library, which serves a whole
county, just as a city library serves
its city, reaching every man, woman
and child in every corner of the coun-
ty.
This is made possible by the new
county library law passed in April by
the last legislature 1t is an enabling
act based partly on the successful
methods in operation in Ohio, Mary
land, California and a number of 9TH
err progressive states. 1t authorizes
county courts to establish and main
tian county libraries for all communi-
ties now not served by the public Ii
brary.
The main or central library, in most
cases, is located at the county site,
the largest city, or the town with the
largest public library. There are
branch libraries or reading rooms in
all small towns, and deposit stations
in county stores and postoffices and
other convenient places, and collec-
tions of books are sent to every vii
lage or rural school. The farm dwell
ers are not overlooked! they are serv-
ed, in many instances, by book wag-
ons and motor trucks containing
shelves of books, resembling the R. F
ID. mail wagon, sent through the
county from the main library and
stopping at farm houses to fill re-
quests for books and to collect those
which have been read. If a farmer
sends a postal card to the county IL
brarian, the books he desires will be
sent to him by parcel post.
A county library is established by
the citizens of a county, on their own
initiative, following certain require
ments of law. An inquiry for inform
alton addressed to John Trotwood
Moore, State Librarian, Nashville
will bring a prompt response.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
which vary widely but may include
pain in the back, headache, nervous.
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains,
govt, gravel, disorders of eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy. de-

keep the filters right the danger is
overcome. Doan's Kidney Pills have

SOME FACTS ABOUT
YOUR SMALL CHANGE

Small change in use in the United
States now amounts to $262,667 1896,
according to the official statement
of the Treasury Department, or $2.43
for each resident. This sum repre-
sents the total of all pennies, nickles,
dimes, quarters and half dollars which
are being carried around in pocket
book, in breeches pocket and which
are kept on hand by stores and banks
to make change.
The Treasury statement supplies
the answer to the oft repeated specu-
lative question as to how much ones
fortune would be if he suddenly
would become possessed of all the
coins in the country under the value
of one dollar. Exclusive of $7S,000.-
900 worth of silver dollars in circula-
ton, which are not included in the
small change total, the nations entire
stock of silver and copper coins could
be packed in a box 20 feet deep and
60 feet square and delivered in your
front yard any fine morning, along
with your morning paper and the
bottle Of milk. The entire sum would
be not large fortune, as fortunes
are rated in the United States.
The small sum total is compare
lively insignificant sum if there is ia
ken into consideration the entire
amount of money in circulation in the
United States. The totals $685.
500, $3.50, of which S4,763, ATS, 499 is to-

Were all the holders of thes promises
to request immediate payment, the

probably have to suspend al! other
business for a month to count the
bills offered.
Taken by volume, however, all the
money in the United States makes a
rather significant showing. 1t could
all be gathered togather in an ordina-
ry office of 200 rooms or so. Any

HERMAN DAVIS DIES SUDDENLY

Capt. Herman Davis, one Of the
men who built modern Nevada, died
at Reno Monday of pneumonia after
an illness of only a few days. He re-
turned from Nina last week and i'm
mediately took to his bed. News of
his sudden passing came as a sewers
shock to his friends, only one or two
of whom knew how serious his illness
was.
AS a metallurgist and mining en-
gineer he was known throughout Ne
vada and in Arizona and New Mexico.
He came to this State in 1893 and
settled at Dayton, where he bought
the Nevada reduction works, which
he conducted for years. But he also
took a hand in the production of min
erals from the ground and was an
active worker in Virginia City and
other parts of the State. He "a in
the midst of things at Tonopah and
Goldfield, was one of the earliest to
engage in the development of Ro-
chester, and more recently has held
interests at Packard and also al
Nina.
