“ ' REMEMBER THE LUSITANIA.
* i In 1898 when this country finally went to war with Spain, the
meaning of that conflict was plain. This country could no longer
ensure at its very doors the spectacle of a decayed monarchy fas
tening its rule upon a rebellious people. It could no longer pas
sively watch the suffering of the people of Cuba. So we went into
Settle and drove tyranny forever from the West Indies.
£ | The battle cry then was "Remember the Maine!"
Today once more the American people arc flying their battle
flags, 6nce more they are preparing to fight for liberty against
monarchy. Only this time, instead of setting one little island
free, they are striving to set free a whole world, so that in all
Christendom there shall be no government save by the consent of
the governed; so that the democracies of the world shall not dwell
forever under the shadow and the menace of a militury autocracy
that respects neither the laws of God nor man. In this new cru-
rade the battle cry may very appropriately be “Remember the Lu
sitania.”
«*• For us as Americans this very perfectly sums up the thing
we are making ready to fight. The military caste, that has fas
tened itself like a cancer upon the German nation, has displayed
utter contempt for the solemn covenants by which world affairs
are regulated.
Those who violated Belgium and turned treaties for its pro
tection into mere scraps of paper; those who sacked Belgian and
French cities, who deported non-combatants into Germany where
they were forced to labor for a hated foe; those who have made of
international law a ghastly mockery* never in their cursed careers
did anything more shocking than when without warning and with
out mercy, without regard to the laws of war or the dictates of
common humanity, they attacked and sank the Lusitania with its
precious freight of American men, women and children who had
a perfect right to travel the high seas.
The government which sanctioned that massacre, which de
fended it and never disowned or apologized for it,' is beyond the
pale. We will no longer treat with it. We will never believe its
most solemn assurances. We can only do our best, in conjunction
with the allies, to destroy it forever.
“Remember the Lusitania.”
Tail* why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast
,What an Infantry Divison Means
From The Macon .News.
Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, dul.
and unstrung; some days really inca
pacitated by illness.
If we ali would practice inside-
bathing, what a gratifying change
would take place. Instead of tnous-
andn of half-sick, anaemic-looking
souls with pasty, muddy complexions
we should see crowds of happy, heal
thy, rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
The reason is that the human system
does not rid itself each day of all the
waste which it accumulates under our
present mode of livinrr. For every
ounce of food and drink taken into
'•he system nearly an ounce of waste
material must be carried out, else it
ferments and forms ptomaine-like
poisons which are absorbed into the
blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous
day’s accumulation of indigestible
waste and body toxins. Men and wo
men, whether sick or well, are advised
to drink each morning, before break
fast, a glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, as a harmless means of washing
out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep-
'ess nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A
quarter pound of limestone phos
phate will not cost much at the drug
storei but is sufficient to demonstrate
to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening
and freshening effect upon the sys
tem.
REIGN OF QUIET BROKEN

I
THE KITCHEN MAKES A GOOD BATTLEFIELD
It is impossible to put too much emphasis upon the necessity
far food saving by everyone daring the war.
Food is going to play as important a part if not a more im
portant part in the war than guns and ammunition.
The saving of food is very largely an individual problem.
Ir the final analysis it is up to the women of the nation.
I Every woman should do her part in the government’s cam
paign to increase and conserve the nation’s food supplies.
■ The food necessities of all the nations with which we are al
lied in the war against Germany, are very great. <
. The people of America must save every pound of food that
self-imposed rigid economy makes possible to the end thut there
be' the greatest possible surplus for shipment to our hard-pressed
» Do not make the mistake of confusing the food problem with
thfc financial problem.
. 1 You have no more moral right to waste food simply because
you-can afford to do so than has your small income neighbor.
It is not a question of saving food for the money’s sake. It
most'tte saved so that there will be enough to go around.
Every pound of food that find| its way to the garbage can
megm, that much loss of fighting strength.
S Volunteer today, for the duration of the war in the great
American army of food savers.
- Begin now, today, to demonstrate thrift in your home.
. 'Make saving, rather than wasting your social standard.
J You can fight for your country in your kitchen just as ef-
vely as your husbands, brothers, sons and sweethearts are
fitting for it on the field of battle.
ft We are going to learn something exact as to our ability to
armies.

reignad in. recorder'* court for the
'.past few weeks was lifted Monday
‘morning when there were ten cases
on docket for trial.
The first case called was that of
Lonnie Culberson ,a white man, who
was locked up Saturday morning at
11 o'clock on a charge of being drunk
and disorderly. He was sentenced to
pay a fine of $30.75 or serve 60 days
in the stockade.
John Bell, a negro, who was arrest'
ed Saturday on a charge of being a
blind tiger, had the case against him
dismissed. Judge Price stated that
the law would not permit illegal ev
idence to be introduced against a de
fendant and for that reason he dis
missed the case. The evidence
showec| that the arresting officqr
had a search warrant for the negro,
but that they had never served him.
They searched his house and found
the liquor and then proceeded to ar
rest the negro who was at work down
town.
Newt Griffeth, Howard Hubbard,
Will Anderson and Lindy Griffeth, ail
white, were arraigned on a charge of
disorderly conduct and fined $5.75 or
sentenced to serve ten days in the
stockade. It was stated in court that
these men were throwing money to
the crack.
Albert Mobley woi. arraigned on a
charge of being a plain drunk and was
sentenced to pay a fine of $10.75 or
serve twenty days in the stockade..
J. H. Gilmore, a negro, was ar
raigned on a charge of speeding at
the rate of twenty-five miles an hour
and was sentenced to pay a fine of
$5.75 or serve ten days in the stock
ade.
Alex Williams and Mamie Smith,
negroes, were charged with being dis
orderly and when they failed to ap
pear ini court this morning they were
fined $5 for contempt and ordered
rearrested by the court.
Compiled from data _not hitherto
published, the National Geographic
Society has issued from its head
quarters in Washington the follow
ing bulletin on the units and equip
ment of an infantry division of tne
United States army as reorganized in
the light of the lessons learned dur
ing the thirty-oiM&iBontfy*' of warfare
in Europe: '''■
“As reorganised.-Jor the
Germany, an infantry division of the
United States Aitny will numoer 65
per cent more than a division
of the German army as now const!
tuted. The enemy’s divisions ari
made up of 17,000 men and 4,000
horses; the new United States divis
ion at maximutn strength will be
composed of 28,235 men, 6,834 horses
nd 4,«75 mules.
"The average layman -.has little
conception of the various units which
go to make up an infantry division
or the enormous cost of its equip
ment. According to estimates made
two years ago, the cost of fully
equipping a division amounts to $7,-
636,550, but since that time the cost
of materials has advanced so greatly
that a conservative estimate re
quires the addition of 20 per cent to
this amount, making the total in ex
cess of $3,000,000. And this takes
into consideration the immense sav
ing effected by .the Council of Na
tional Defense in providing for the
purchase by the government of muni
tions and equipment at a profit to
the manufacturers not to exceed 10
per cent, which is far less than the
profits ordinarily realized on mater
ials sold in the world markets.
The new United States army div
isions will be composed of the fol
lowing units:
Three infantry brigades, 18,579 of
ficers and men.
One field artillery brigade, 4,030
officers and men.
One regiment.of cavalry, 1,579 of
ficers and men, 1,541 horses.
One' regiment of engineers, 1,098
officers and men.
One field Righal battalion, 259 of
fleers and men. i-
One aero squadron, 12 airplanes.
Total, 25,871 officers and men.
Total with wdgoff trains, 28,235 of
ficers and men, ofr total with motor
the 627 motor trucks.
The total number of riding horses
'required tor a division and its wagon
trains is 4,616 together with 2,218
draft horses, and 4,875 riding, pack
and draft mules.
More than 20,000 rifles are re
quired to arm a division and its
trains, together with 8,600 pistols.
The artillery consits of fifty three-
indi field guns firing eight nigh ex
plosive shells or shrapnel, each pro-1
jectile weighing fifteen pounds; and
25 3.8-inch howitzers, the shells for
which weigh thirty pounds. The num
ber of machine guns with which a
division is to be equipped is still an
open question, but the number which
will appear in army charts soon to
•be printed is seventy-two for the div
ision itself and twenty additional
guns.for the wagon trains. The num
ber in all probability will be greatly
increased, perhaps to as high as ***“
guns for everv 1.000 rifles, making
total of 600, for the division.
