Hon H St Geo Tucker in his splendid address at the opening ex? ercises of Roanoke College said that the first public speech he ever made was in opposition to the pub? lic free-school system but that the more he had studied the subject the more firmly convinced he became that the position then taken was wrong and that he had long since put his seven league boot.; on in an effort to overtake and Dildo any harm that first speech might have done. Certain it is that his eloquent voice is now earnestly pleading on all occasions for un extension and enlargment of the opportunities for public education and bis argument! in that behalf are simply unan? swerable. He is doing a splendid and effective work along that lim and the pity is that his eloquent plea cannot be heard by every op? ponent of the system.

Over=Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidney, one. every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil? ter out Ihe waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu / O ~\ fcitf^ matism come from ex ??j Jr! cess c* uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but nov/ modern science proves that nearly ail constitutional diseases have their begin? ning in kidney trouble. If you arc sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is scon realised. It stands the highest fer its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar _iz-1 es.
