Thousands of women have kidney and

Women's complaints often prove to be

If the kidneys are not in a healthy

Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.

superintendent Jordan Says Book
Agents Impose On Them
Josiah Jordan, county superintend-
ent, states that he has recently re-
ceived several complaints from school
board members and teachers who have
been imposed upon by book agents.
He also issues a warning to board
members and teachers to be very care
full in making contracts for the pur-
chase of any school literature.
Agents are canvassing the country
for set of books called The World
Book in ten volumes" said Superin-
tendent Jordan. THE price of the
books in the cheapest cloth binding Is
$3.50. 1t is stated by reliable per-
sons that orders are being secured by
misrepresentation.
school boards and teachers should
refuse to receive these books unless
they first ascertain whether or not
they have been purchased in the reg
ular way. School boards cannot le-
gally make contracts to purchase
books until a full meeting of the board
is held and the matter disposed of in
a regular manner"
