THE BANNER, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21,, 1915. £ag£ SEVEN Electric gifts bring Christmas cheer That lingers on throughout the year. For usefulness and beauty rare ' None with them can compare. Electric breakfast while you eat, Without arising from your seat. Steak, eggs, toast, without a waiter, And coffee in the percolator. For luncheon or for midnight bites Electric cooking ware delights. A flameless chafing dish, say we; A samovar for perfect tea. At dead of night, when baby wakes, Don’t grumble at the time it takes To warm his food, just turn the switch And it is warmed without a hitch.

Gilkcson, Youngstown. O., writes: “My little girl had a severe cold an-1 coughed almost coDtiam us- ly. I tried lots of cough remedies, but she didn’t get any better. My sister recommended Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound to me. The first dose I gave her relieved tho inflammation in her throat, and after using one bottle the cough left her.” This sterling old remedy has-been U'use for years and is just as effi cient for adults as for children, it gives relief for Irritated and tickling throat, tight and sore chest, grippe ar.d bronchial coughs.

The Athens Humane Society has elected jthe following officers for an- jther year: Miss Etta Park,' president. Mrs. R. M. Wade, vice president Miss Annie Linton, secretary. Miss Maude Townsend, treasurer. An educational or publicity commit- ee will he also named to keep the matter of the work end the need 61 the work of the society before the people of Athens. As winter approaches the society will feel grateful for larger and more constant co-operation on the part of all citizens in protecting animals from suffering, exposure, and abuse. . Miss-Linton recently attended the national humane society gathering in 3t. .-Augustine, Fla., and brought back with her to Athens the wonderful in spiration which that convention dis seminated. . Just a Word in Season. If you are not altogether a selfish and inconsiderate creature, you will remember the helpless animals which come within the radius of your in fluence. You will not go down street and order a spool of thread to he sent several miles by an overworked de-. livery horse. You will take it your self. You will not forget to place your orders for groceries and other things early in the day, so that poor,, tired horses will not have to make special trips -and cover the same ground heedlessly. In other words, it you are a decent citizen and con siderate of man and beast, you will shop early and considerately. - — - We shall soon ha coming to the time of the year when the birds which linger through the-winter will be de pendent, upon the bounty-of man for something to fill their, stomachs and keep their little hearts aflutter.

HOW TO GET RID OF CHRONIC DANDRUFF The only sure way to get perman ently rid of either oily or dry dandruff is to remove the conditions that cause It and then keep the hair and scalp in a permanet, clean, healthy, vig orous state bo dandruff will never re turn. This beats shampoos or head washes which merely drive away dandruff for a few days at most H. R. Palmer & Sons and a number of other better druggists in this vicinity are now strongly recommending a harmless, Inexpensive and quick act ing preparation called Parisian Sage that they Say is guaranteed to act di rectly on the cause of dandruff'and which already has become known f&r and wide qs a safe and efficient treat ment which cannot possibly injure hair or scalp. .Here is a test worth trying. Get a package of Parisian Sage. Rub a lit tle of it Into the scalp with the finger tii»s and see for yourself how the dandruff disappears, the hair stops falling out, the itching vanishes, and a: new end vigorously healthy appear ance comes over the hair. Good look ing hair is half the battle in any man or waman’s personal appearance and nothing -hurts the hair more than dandruff. Try a little Parisian Sage and begin at once to he rid of it. adv Advertise your wants.

S. P. ORR, 182 Wray St., Athens, Ga. * ANNOUNCEMENTS ANNOUNCEMENT—SOLICITOR GENERAL. To the White Citizens of the West- ren Circuit: I desire to let the white citizens of this circuit know that 1 will appreciate their help, influence and votes for re-election as Solicitor- GeneraL It has been my ambition to serve you in a manner that would meet with your approvaL I have given my time and attention (day and night) to the luties of the office. and if you should see fit to honor me with another term, it shall be my policy to continue to try to suppress crime in all of its forms. The.security of the home, the pro tection of property, and the safe guarding of the citizens liberty, de pend upon the enforcement of the law, and a respect for the Court’s de crees .and sentences, by those in au- chority, as well as by private citizens. The Solicitor-General, in a large measure, is : the officer upon whom our people rely to Insure this protection. This being my first term in office and in public life, I have, no doubt, made mistakes; they were due, how ever, to “an error of the head and not of the heart.” I therefore feel and believe that my experience and acquaintance with the people have equipped me fof better service and more usefulness for another term than I have been able to render dur ing the past three years. In the light of the kind expres sions from the Grand Juries under whom 1 have been permitted to serve, and from the people generally,I be* lieve it Is the will of the God-fearing and law-abiding white citizens, that I should be re-elected and given an indorsement. As stated in my race before you saw fit to elect me,—"It I give satis faction and you see fit to re-elect me, and I deem it to my interest, we will keep company”; so, if In your judg ment, my public service has been sat isfactory, I will ask you to give me another term as an indorsement of my efforts to measure up to the re sponsibilities of the office. In order to keep up with the work of the Solicitor-General’s office, it practicallly takes one’s entire time. We are holding Court from ten to eleven months in the year, and when not actually engaged in the Court house, my time is given to the prep aration of cases. As you well know, Monarchs Named Alike. All the kings of Prussia have been ailed Frederick or William. I have attended committal trials and inquests and made personal ammiwn. tion ot witnesses, In order to have my cases ready for trial. I will, there fore, have very little time, if any, to call upon the people In person and ask them for their votes. In view of this fuct, I earnestly request yon to look after my interest on the outside, while I am on the inside, fighting for your welfare and protection. Thanking yon for your past sup port, and trusting that I may be deemed worthy of your suffrage, and that you will honor me with a second term, I am, Yours for service, JOHN B. GAMBLE. FOR SOLICITOR GENERAL.
