Says Now Is Good Time For Spalding
Farmers To Repair Telephone Lines
Many Spalding county people
who have telephones on the rural
lines connecting with the Soath
ern Bell Telephone & Telegraph
Company’s exchange at Griffin
are badly in need of repairs. Now
that the crops have been gather
ed, and the farmers are doing but
little farm work, is a good time
to look after the neglected tele
phone lines, says J. M. Remley,
local manager, who makes the
following statement:
“Telephone subscribers in gen
i eral do not understand that the
Bell Telephone Company does not
own the “farmer lines” and criti
cise them for poor service. For
the good of the service, to the
CLEAN KIDNEYS
BY
LOTS OF WATER
Take Salts To Flush Kidneys If
Bladder Bothers or Back
Hurts.
Eating too much rich food may
produce kidney trouble in some
form, says a well known author
ity, because the acids created ex
cite the kidneys. Then they be
come overworked, get sluggish,
clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and
misery in the kidney region, rheu
matic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
* The tnoment your back hurts or
kidneys aren’t acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, begin drink
ing water and also get about
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
good pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys may then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity; also to neutra
lize the acids in the system so
they no longer irritate, thus often
relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts can not injure any
one; makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia water drink which mil
lions of men and women take now
and then to help keep the kidneys
and urinary organs clean, thus
aften avoiding serious kidney dis
orders. By all means have your
physician examine your kidneys
at least twice a year.—(Adv.)

Among the notable arriving In the

rural subscriber as well as to the
people who live in town, these
lines should be gone over during
the fall months each year, and all
bad poles be replaced, defective
joints cut out of the line wires
to insure good transmission, re
place ail old rusty line wire,
replace broken insulators, inspect
the lightning arresters, examine
the drop wires, house wire, etc.
u This does not require a skilled
telephone man and it will cost
very little to do the work which
will improve the service wonder
fully. The lightning arresters
should be cleaned after lightning
all during the year, as lightning
will burn the carbons, causing
grounds.
Should Get Together.
u The subscribers on these lines
can get together and do this
work in a very short time; most
of them can secure the necessary
poles from their own lands; the
cost will be very small. It is
necessary for a little time and
energy tu be used by those own
ing the line, or an outsider can
be engaged to do the work and
the cost prorated among the own
ers.
“The country people are not
alone interested in good service;
town people often try to call on
these lines when they are out of
order. No one will ever know
the opportunities lost on account
of not being able to complete
calls over such lines.
Company Interested.
<< The Southern Bell Telephone
& Telegraph company is interest
ed, too. Often the Southern Bell
company is blamed for this ina
bility to get service.
It is hoped that enthusiasm
will be created which will bring
about a determination on the part
of each farmer line company to
repair their line within the next
two or three months, so that each
farmer may be able to get in
touch with the Griffin merchants
for prices on their cotton, cattle,
chickens, etc.; also to give the
Griffin News & Sun news items
for their community.
