Sick
Women
Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, helped Mrs. Wil
liam Eversole, of Hazel
Patch, Ky. Read what
she writes: “I had a
general breaking-down
of my health. 1 was in
bed for weeks, unable to
get up. 1 had such a
weakness and dizziness,
... and the pains were
very severe. A friend
to, J me 1 had tried every
thing else, why not
Cardui? .. . I did, and
soon saw it was helping
me ... After 12 bottles,
1 am strong and well."
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
Do you feel weak, diz
zy, worn-out? Is your
lack of good health caused
from any of the com
plaints so common to
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered—it
should help you back to
health.
Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.
She will tell you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.

Teach Children to
Beware of Flies
Explain to them how flies are hatched
in filth. How, after crawling around
in outhouses, privies, manure piles
and over dead animals and decayed
matter, they come into the home
and wipe their nasty feet on the
family food, leaving a trail of dis
ease germs everywhere.
Flies Cause Infantile Paralysis,
Typhoid and Other Fevers
The best doctors in the world will
tell you that flies are the cause of
a great deal of sickness, especially
summer complaint, infantile paraly
sis, dysentery, typhoid and other
fevers. Don’t let flies bring sick
ness into your home.
RED DEVIL LYE
KILLS FLIES
Keep a can cf RED DEVIL LYE in ycur out-house and sprinkle it on
the filth freely, once cr twice a week. It consumes the filth, destroys
the fly eggs and prevents odors and sickness.

MONEY IN BATTLE AGAINST
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
STATE NEWSjlF INTEREST
Brief News Items Of Importance Gath
ered From All Parts
Of The State
Atlanta.—Governor Dorsey aihoriz-
ed the use of money from the execu
tive contingent fund to combat the
spread of smallpox and meningitis in
| this state. Ararngements were im-
| mediately made by the state board
! of healtly to launch its offensive and
| Dr. Joseifh Bowdoin of Adairsville,
: was appointed state epidemiolo-
| gist, and was commissioned to rove
j the state for one month, seeking out
j evidences of epidemics, studying them
1 in every phase, and instructing local
1 authorities in how to prevent them,
j The governor’s appropriation from the
j contingent fund will be sufficient to
finance a month’s campaign in the
state. If after thirty days, the emerg
ency still exists and further funds are
needed, it is understood that they will
be given the state board.
Monument Over Grave Of Lumpkin
Athens.—Chancellor D. C. Barrow of
Lhe university, and president of the
I board of trustees for the Oconee ceme
tery, in which several governors and
supreme court justices and other
prominent former eGorgians are bur
ied, erected over the grave of Gov.
Wilson Lumpkin an imposing monu
ment. The grave is situated in a per
fectly circular lot reserved when Gov
ernor Lumpkin deeded as a gift the
big tract of the “old’’ cemetery to the
public of Athens many years ago. This
circular lot is on the apex of a sharp
bill.
State Is Flooded With Spoiled Corn
Atlanta.—The influx of spoiled corn
into Georgia hac grown to such pro
portions that shipmentsc are being
seized and destroyed under the direc-.
tion of P. A. Methvin, state pure food
inspector. In Augusta, $35,000 worth
of spoiled corn was condemned and
ordered denatured so that it could not
be used as stock food. This corn had
already been paid for. There are 10,-
000 bushels of meal in the city of At
lanta under condemnation for similar
reasons while in the entire state more
than one hundred thousand bushels
of bad corn and meal are now tied
up on account of its condition.
Will Double Size Of Base Hospital
Atlanta.—Work will begin immedi
ately on enlarging the base hospital at
Fort McPherson to approximately
twice its size, acoerding to news re
ceived from Washington. It is to be
developed into a great reconstruction
hospital, where soldiers who have lost
an arm or a leg, or have been dis
abled in any way, will be taught trades
so that when they go back to civil life
they will be able to make a living and
not be a burden on the community.
Two Men Killed By Police Chief
Millen.—Frank Godbee and R. C.
McNorriil are dead from pistol wounds
inflicted by Chief of Police J. E. Par
nell, when he went to the Godbee
home at the request of neighbors to
quiet the two men who were said to
have been creating a disturbance by
tiring shots from a rifle. Chief Par
nell was wounded in the right hand
when Godbee opened fire upon him
with a shotgun, but the wound is not
very serious.
Thomasville Packing Plant Certain
Thomasvilie.—If the action of a
small group of business men is fol
lowed up in a like manner by others
here, a packing plant for Thomasville
will be a certainty. These met and
agreed to put up one hundred thousand
dollars for the plant and will see what
can be done to make it three hun
dred thousand dollars, or enough to
start the plant with sufficient working
capital to make it easy to finance.
9,000 Workers Get Increase In Pay
Columbus.—An increase of 8 1-2 per
cent in the wages of nine thousand
textile workers in Columbus has been
announced. It is estimated that this
means an annual increase of wages in
this industry of $320,000. Since the
war began cotton factories here have
raised the wages of all employees, the
increase ranging from 33 to 40 per
cent.
Uncle Sam Plans War Against Fly
Atlanta.—Uncle Sam, in connection
with the city of Atlanta, will inaflgu-
rate at once a “swat the fly” cam- -
paign. Acting in conjunction with
Chief John Jentzen, of the city sani
tary department, Dr. Percy Ahrons of
the federal health service and his staff
of inspectors will enter the campaign
against flies in Atlanta.
Those Denouncing Wilson Warned
Dublin.—“This war is not the gov
ernment’s war, but our war, the war
of every man, woman and child in
this country,” declared Hon. *W. H.
Burweli, in a speech, at the Liberty
Loan demonstration. “In a sense," he
said, “it is a holy war, in defense of
our religion as well as our liberty.”
He warned against men who continu
ally criticised the administration; who
are fighting Wilson, a man who will
go down in history, as the greatest
exponent and embodiment of princi
ples of democracy in America.

everybody he met and it seems
like more than we can bear to
give him up. He had been in de

do was done to relieve his suffer
ing, but the Lord knows best for
all, and He called father to a bet
ter home where suffering will be
no more, but where all is peace,
happiness and rest.
Father was born August 1,
1855 and w - as married to Miss N.
A. Shirah March 25, 1875 and to
them were born fourteen children
