A Warning.
On January the 12th, 1912,
the County Text Book Board
composed of the following gen
tlemen: Superintendent W. M.
Shaver, Mr. E. R. Williamson,
Mr. H. L. Lambert, Mr. Collins,
and Rev. J. F. McKenzie, will
adopt a series of text books for
the Common Schools of Jackson
County and recommend a series
of text books for supplemental
reading in the schools of the
County for the next Six years,
during which time no other
books can be used in the Com
mon Schools of the County, ex
cept those adopted by the above
named Board.
This Board is composed of
some of the best men in Jack
son County and must feel the
great responsibility of selecting
books which will mould the char
acter of the boys and girls of
this county and in addition to
this allow some book concern, or
concerns, to fix the prices which
must be paid for these books for
this period.
Since the American Book
Company is advertising its
books throughout the South,
among other ways, by exhibit

Jackson Circuit Court a little

Doan’s Kidney Pills make well
kidneys.
Here is a Newport woman
who endorses this claim:
Mrs. Laura Mink, R. F. D. 2,
Newport, Ark., says. “It gives
me pleasure to recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills, for I know
that they live up to the claims
made for them. My complaint
was weakness of the back which
was particularly noticeable just
after I had been doing my
housework. The pain was in my
loins and it came on suddenly.
My back ached terribly and I
was driven almost frantic. I
had heard so many people praise
Doan’s Kidney Pills that I final
ly got a box at Dutton’s Drug
Store and true to their reputa
tion the contents of one box cur
ed me. I have not had occasion
to use this remedy since then.
It gives me pleasure to recom
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills to
other kidney sufferers.”

Sensitiveness of Earth Crust.
The records of the various instru
ments devised for the study of earth
quakes have shown that the earth’s
crust is sensitive to a degree far be
yond the ideas of the earlier investi
i gators. An interesting recent exam
ple comes from Japan, showing how
the alteration of atmospheric pres
sure during a storm may cause a
perceptible tilting of the ground. A
storm passed over the sea to the
east of Tokio, and a downward move
ment of the bordering land was regis
tered on the instruments. At firs;
sight r. contrary movement might
have been expected, since the falling
barometer during the storm indicated
a lessened weight of air over the area
affected. The explanation is that the
lessened atmospheric pressure caused
a rise in the waters of the ocean and
that this in turn weighted down the
laud.
