Faulty kidney ac tion permits toxic material to re main in the blood and upset the whole system. Then, one is apt to have a tired, languid feeling and, sometimes, a toxic backache or head ache, and often somC irregularity of secretions, such as scanty or burn ing passages. More and more people are acclaiming the value of Doan's Pills, a stimulant diuretic, in this condition. For more than forty years Doan's have been winning favor the country over. Ask your neighbor! The Chamber of Cymmerc^' of Atlanta, having tested the pulling power of publicity, is now considering launching a campaign to raise an advertising fund of $1,000,000, to be expended in newspapers and maga zines throughout the country. A year or more ago it looked like a daring en terprise for Atlanta to raise from its business men a fund of $250,000 for advertising, but that was done, the advertising has been carried on, and the official report states that in the last ten months this publicity has been instrumental in bringing 136 new plants to Atlanta with annual pay rolls aggregating over $7,000,000, and bringing to the city 10,000 new people. The success of that movement has been so great that it is now proposed to raise this advertising fund to $1,0V.000. P esident Coolidge recently called atlcntion to the fact that the pros perity of America has been largely created by advertising. More and more it is being realized that advertis ing is the lever whiich lifts business out of the Slough of Despond in times of depression, and ia really a creative force, which not only lifts business, but sustains it on a higher plane of activity than would ever have been possible in any other way. It has been wisely said that chemistry is one of the great creative forces of the world. • But chemistry is scarcely a greater science and is certainly not more powerful in the creation of busi expense, but is an investment, and the kind of investment that is jUst as es sential to his business progress as is the utilization of modem machinery or the employment of skilled men. Once some people thought that ad vertising was an experiment. Some thought it was a waste of money. U ave played an important part in the Some advertised only because their competitors did. But now every bus iness man, be he banker, merchant or manufacturer, realizes that advertis ing is the foundation on which he must erect his business structure, and that without advertising he will sim r ply be building on a foundation of Sami, while with adequate advertising he is building on a rock foundation and his structure will not be shaken by the storms of financial adversity. No business is so great that it can afford not to advertise. No business Throughout History Dolls Have Play ed Important Part In Entertain ment and Education. Probably the only woman who never played with a doll was Eve; but she never was a child. No matter how far back < one searches into the history of the human race one finds that dolls entertainment and education of chil dren. When the tombs of ancient Egypt are uncovered, when the solidified la-1 va is dug away from the ruins of Pom peii, where the prehistoric graves in China are unearthed, dolls are found. The doll is one of the few elements of civilisation that has survived throughout the ages of history. Its origin is lost in the dim recesses of the past. In the British museum is a collection of Egyptian dolls more than 4,000 years old. They were is so small that it cannot afford to found in the tombs of children. r f A DOAN’S p af l Diuretic to the Kidneys iCo-.Mfc. Chem., Buffalo. K. Y. L advertise No community is so prosperous that it cannot increase its prosperity, just as Atlanta is doing, by intensive, well- directed advertising. , The cost may be great, but the harvest is greater. Ephemeral or short-time advertising, expecting immediate results, is a false basis on which to operate. Advertis ing, whether of cities or states or in dividual enterprises, must be commen surate with the soundness of the in stitution, the possibility of creating a demand for information and for building a market, whether that mar ket be of new industries such as At lanta has secured, or new population ness than is advertisin*, well directed ' wh j ch is dra “ ^ "nub- and eentinoously and , licity. or whether it be a market for pushed.

Joliet, Ills., Jan. 4.—Nathan Leo pold, Jr., and Richard Loeb,“ thrill” slayers” of Bobby Franks, were brought into court here today from the State prison and identified as- de fendants in a suit for $100,000 brought by Charles Ream, Chicago taxi-cab driver, who charges they kidnapped and multilated him in November 1923. Loeb and Leopold, presenting a sleek and naty appearance, smiled their way through the cross examina tions and heard Ream tell his story of the attack, during which he identi fied them as his assailants. Neither of the slayers, now serv ing life sentences seemed impressed with the proceedings, they appeared to enjoy the opportunity to visit with friends and attorneys. It was Loeb’s first appearance outside the prison in two years. Early today habeas corpus proceedings were authorized for their appearance here. Neither prisoner showed any strains of prison life and they said they were “as happy as could be expected. During his cross examination, JUDGE E. H. GARY IS CRITICISED ing history, and when emphasis was laid on the question, “what kind?” he retorted “all kinds.” Loeb was in the witness chair when Leopold entered the court room, Loeb nodded ahd smiled, and Leopold re turned the salutation with equal ani mation. “Leopold testimony was brief and dealt almost entirely with his pre ference in motor cars, what particular automobile he drove in 1923 and what kind Leopold owned. His testimony was concluded when he stated that he had never rented an automobile in the city of Chicago. Leopold seemed to be bored and yawned during his examination once asking that the question “be more concise.” He said that his life study should be that of birds, but sparred with the prosecutor when he was asked if he ever used a knife in the study of bird life. He finally admitted he did.. * National Anti-Prohibition Worker In Reply To Steel Head Says Law Doesn't Help Workmen. Washington, Jan. 4.—Elbert H. Gary, of the United States Steel Cor poration, drew the fire today of W. H. Stayton, national chairman of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, who assailed him parti cularly for his expressed view that the Volstead law had benefitted American workmen. “No one can question,” said Stay- ton iif a formal statement “that it is not only the right, but the duty of the officers of the steel corpora tion or for the corporation itself to do anything it can to increase the effectiveness of the work of its em ployees. “But when a corporation asks the government to intervene and to de prive a workman of his pleasures and amusements, or even of his bad habits, in order that the corporation and its stockholders may get better results from its workmen, it is treading on very dangerous grounds. “For, if a government can take away a workman's right to a glass of beer and thereby stop his capacity were crude; still they were dolls The impulse to play with dolls seems to be co-extensive with the maternal instinct and the desire for companionship. If, for example, a little girl in Korea is not given a doll she makes one for herself. A bam- | boo pipe stem is cut about five inches long and in the hollow end is placed a tuft of long grass, made soft and pliable by soaking in a brine solution. hair- Al- though no face is made, a bit of white powder may .be pasted on the stick beneath the hair. Then the doll is dressed with bits of cloth. Modern civilization refuses to out- lew the doll. Children still foster a deep regazd for them, despite that in this modern age many objects of long tradition are being thrown into the discard. As a matter of fact, very likely the girl of today cherishes her doll more pearly than did the child of past ages for the modern American doll is so Willfully designed that it makes deep appeal to the latent traits of charac- ilization the oys of children must meet new stdards in providing for the developn’t of children in the ci ties, far rer'ed from the elemental forces of nare.

It says: “Work all the muscles of your face, keep young, retain your alert appearance. Pout your lips to make them handsome and full. Roll your eyes frequently and sniff. Sniff violently, forming wrinkled ridges on the bridge of the nose. Move your eyebrows up and down. Only a dead face, with no muscular action in it, becomes an old face.” That advice is taken literally by in habitants of the monkey cage. They db all that the beauty cult suggests. Our ancestors, ape-like, %id Jhe *ame until language was invented. As men liecaine civilized they used words in stead of gestures and twitching faces. A man sneering still uncovers his canide tooth, getting it ready to bite without cutting his fip, as do the ba boon and the wolf. Bat the cahn face is the higher type.

"I—\ • • Washington, Jan. 4.—Representa tive Stevenson, South Carolina, said in the House today that the Civil Ser vice Commission had advised him that it had obtained evidence of the sale of patronage in his state. Although this was all he said or. the' subject on the floor, later he made public a letter signed by Jno. T. Doyle, secretary of the commission, which said that $§00 had been paid to a South Carolina postmaster to secure appointments for two men. The letter said that the report of the commission's investigator had been transmitted to the Postmaster General. The letter was in reply to a charge by Stevenspn that money had been used In obtaining certain federal ap- | pointmenta in his State. In the speech in the House today Mr. Stevenson denied that Southen States were nullifying the Constitu tion by depriving negroes of the right to vote. He said the qualifications were the same for both negroes and whites, but that the negroes had stop ped voting because they had found it did not do them any good. Mr. Stevenson also asserted that he hoped the Senate would not be stampeded as a result of the primary campaign “scandel.” , Refraining from mentioning any one by name, he said ; that the sov ereign States had a right to elect whom they pleased and that under the Constitution, neither the Senate or the House should question the qualifica tions of a member until aftei; he had been given his scat. f 6 c 6 la a prescription for Cofcto, Grippe, Pine, Dengue, Fever and Malaria.
