Peep Valley. J's.Oct. 31 (Special)
-There is deep interest In (ireen
county over the cure of the little
daughter of I. N. Whipkey ol lilietima
Hhiii. 8he was a great sufferer for -rive
or six years and - nothing seemed to do
bet any good till she tried Podd'a Kid
ney rill. Khelegan to improve al
moat at once and now she is cured and
ran run and play as other children do.
Mr. Whipkey, says:
"I am indeed thankful for what
Dodd'i Kidney Tills have done for my
danghter; they saved her from being a
ctipple perliaps for life."
Podd's Kidney Tills hsve proved
that Rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
rati Bed by Uric Acid in the blood. If
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Aeid in the blood and consequent
ly no Klietimatism. Dodd s Kidney
Tills make the Kidneys right.

"Vou are expected to be polite in
jour manners, neat in your person ami
room, careful of your books and
clothes, attentive to economy In all
your expenses," read one or the nil
of the Female Academy, conducted by
Miss Sarah Pierce from 1792 to IS!
In "Chronicles of a Pioneer School
other rules are given, as follows:
"You are requested not only to ex
ercles In the morning, but also In th
evening sufficiently for the preserva
tlon of health.
"Talebearing nnd scandal are odious
vices and must be avoided; lieitlie
must you flatter your companions by
nny remarks on their beauty, dress or
any accomplishment, In order to In
crease their vanity, nnd let every one
thus flnttered remember that such com
idinients are an Insult ofTere.I to the
understanding.
"You must not write a car Mess note
oi any careless writ.nsr. ion must
write a composition, once In it fort
nleht. of two hundred words. You
must write at least thirty uond line
iu a week.
"You must come In or go out of tht
school In a quiet, genteel manner, you
must not talk or laugh loud in th
street
"You must not wear your party
dresses, or any handsome lace, no'th
cr your liest hats or shawls to school
"You must not walk for plensur
after nine o'clock In the evening. A
reward will be given to those who do
not waste any money, books, clothe:
paper or quills, during the term: to
those who have their duties performed
at the proper time; to those who hnv
not been peevlsu, homesick or nn
polite; to those who always attend
meeting or church; to those who never
write carelessly."
Miss Pierce is dewibed as possess
ing a rare faculty for impressing her
scholars, and it is said by her hlsto
rlan that the young ladles who were
graduated from her school were con
sidered models or uenavior ana educi

been a
och mak
ing victory in the onwaid march ot civilization than in
the notable event of July 23,1893, Sn which the great he-
to, Admiral Feb ley, took a leading part.
Itwaiagteat naval battle. Withont a moment's
warning it began. Quick decision, undaunted courage,
excellent discipline, resointe sell confidence these com
bined in Admiral Schley to produce that dash and daring
so characteristic of the American soldier.
A man must think quit kly in these days. There is no
time for slow action. New enterprises arise in an hour.
Old ones pass away in a moment.
A multitude of great themes clamor lor notice. A
man mut take sides for or against bv intuition, rather
than logical deduction.
One day this figthing admiral. Schley, happened to be in
with oth-
com pany
era who I APrwALS orLtw.i or rt-KU-rtA i w e r e
ta 1 k I n s I I on vari
ous topics of popular interest. The subject of Peruna
wai latHel its popn!arity as a catarrh remedy, its na
tional importance, its extensive use.
One atknd his opinion. Without a mompnt's hesita
tion, he said: "I can rlieerfully say that Mrs. Schley
has taken Pernna and I believe with grol effect."
Like the battle of antiao. the thought was sprung
upon him without anr warning, and he disposed of it
with the same vim an I decision as he did with the Span
ish fleet led by the ill-fated Viaraya. r
His wards concerning Peruna have gone out into the
world to be lepeated by a thousin 1 tongues, beciuse lie
said them.
