good men running.
Is all the bitterness, all the
friction, all the charges and coun

A WORTHY APPEAL
Dr. E. F. Dempsey, who has
charge of the Loan Fund of Em
ory College has been quite busy
with this wise and helpful featui e
of our Georgia Methodism. The
good this fund has done is not to
be stated either in syllables or
figures. Some of the best men
in Georgia Methodism today were
enabled by this fund to get a col
lege education, and their service
has been worth many times over
what the liberal minded have put
into the fund. There are now
more than twenty young men de
siring to go to college on this
fund —they will not be able to go
without help, and the help must
come from the Emory Loan Fund
if it comes at all. If these young
men could be furnished through
the Loan Fund a sufficientamount
of loan to begin their college
work, the probabilities are that
they will manage to go through
before they quit college. Will
not the liberal men and women
of the state open their purses
and give Dr. Dempsey the money
he so much needs? Remember
that this is in fact a Loan Fund—
the student who borrows pays
back what he borrows, with in
terest after he leaves college, and
then comes another and another
and so on. It is a sum of money
that never stops in its beneficent
work for the education of the
poor. Help! And help now, as
Emory opens Sept. 20.—Rev. W.
C. Lovett, D. D., in The Wesley
an Christian Advocate.

How to Fight Mosquitoes
By Emory R. Park of the State Board
of Health
Mosquitoes do not hatch in any
place except in stagnant water.
Therefore, any campaign lodged
against the mosquito nuisance
and peril must be directed against
stagnant water. A tin can full of
water can hatch enough mosqui
toes to torment a neighborhood,
and “as many as nineteen thous
and eggs and mosquitoes have
been found in a rain barrel atone
time. ’’

A Heavy Burden
A Bad Back Makes Life
Miserable For Many
Jackson People
A bad back is a heavy burden.
A burden at night when bedtime
c Jines.
Just as bothersome in the morning.
Ever try Loan's Kidney Pills for it?
Know they are for kidney backache
—and for other kidney ills?
J f you don’t, some Jackson j>eople do.
Read a case of it:
\V. T. Burke, Oak St., Jackson,
says: “Heavy lifting and straining
caused my kidneys to get out of order.
The kidney secretions sometimes pass
ed too frequently and were scanty.
They also contained sediment. My
back finally commenced to ache and
grew worse until I couldn’t keep going.
I had rheumatic pains all through my
body and I was so sore and lame that
I could hardly get out of bed. I doc
tored and tried all sorts of medicine,
but with no results. I finally used
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they soon put
my kidneys in good condition. The
pains left my back and the kidney se
cretions passed regularly.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Burke had. Foster-Mil burn Cos.,
Props., Buffalo, N. Y. adv
had so much rain this summer, it
is highly probable that there will
be an unusually large number of
mosquitoes pretty soon unless
people get busy immediately and
rid their premises and neighbor
hood of water that has been
left standing in ditches, gutters,
cans, barrels, old bottles, hollow
places in trees, and the like.
When pools cannot be drained
enough kerosene or other oily
substances should be poured upon
them to form a film upon the sur
face. This causes the young
mosquitoes, or wriggle-tails, as
they are commonly called, to suf
focate, as it stops up the little
breathing tubes which the wrig
glers send up to the surface of
the water for their air supply.
By cutting off the air the larvae
are killed.
Weeds and dense shrubbery
should be cut down and burned
as such things often form refuges
for the fully developed insects
and causes them to accumulate
in large numbers about the
house.
Houses, including basements,
should be kept screened until
well into the winter time, other
wise some mosquitoes will get in
the house where they will be
kept alive through the winter
and upon the appearance of
spring will go forth to replenish
the race.
p
Straw Hats in February—
Suppose an old maid aunt died in midwinter and
left you a carload of straw hats.
Would you try to sell ’em THEN?
No sir-ee bob, you wouldn’t! You’d everlast
ingly wait till spring to dispose of those straw hats.
Nobody wants to buy straw hats when it’s snowing.
One thing about selling whatever you’ve got: You
must put it on the market when the market’s CALLING
for it. Either that, or you sell for whatever the specula
tor’s willing to pay, and the other fellow makes the profit.
Up till last year, when we put up our compress
here in Atlanta and built our million-dollar ware
house for 250,000 bales of cotton —up till last year
we folks around here had been trying to sell our
WHOLE cotton crop in FOUR MONTHS —and
the world takes A YEAR to use it!
Of course the market got heavy every fall, and the price
sagged till spring. By that time the speculators had all the
cotton; and consequently THEY got all the real profits.
Selling all our cotton at once is like trying to eat a week’s rations for
Monday morning’s breakfast. It’s foolish, and it gives the market indi
gestion.
The way to avoid that loss is to warehouse your cotton with us at our
low storage and insurance and handling charges. Imperishable as it is,
cotton in good and responsible storage is gilt-edged security anywhere -
if it’s covered by a sure-enough negotiable receipt. Take our receipt,
GUARANTEED by us, to your banker and borrow on it close up under
the market at reasonable interest; or let us get the loan for you without
commission.
Then you can hold till the cows come home! When the buyers
want your cotton and offer a price that suits, you’ve got it to
sell. We even help you to sell, without commission.
Lot* of folks were wise enough to do this last fall.
Hoi l) much do you reckon they’ve made ?
