LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tell* Why a Corn is so Pain
ful and Says Cutting Ma
kes Them Grow
Press an electric button and you
form a contact with a live wire
which rings the bell. When your
shoes press against your corn it push
es its sharp roots down upon a sen
sitive nerve and you get a shock of
pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which makes them grow, just Btep
into any drug store and ask for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone.
This will cost very little but is suf
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one’s feet. A few
drops applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn stops the soreness in
stantly, and soon the corn shrivels
up so it lifts right out, root and all,
without pain. This drug freezone is
harmless and never inflames or even
irritates the surrounding skin. advt.

JACKSON PARCHES IN MIDST
OF ICE FAMINE THIS WEEK
Deale r s Unable to Get Shipments to
Relieve Situation
Faced by the hottest weather of
the year, Jackson citizens were un
able to secure any ice Wednesday.
The local dealers state they are not
able to have it shipped from either
(Macon or Atlanta. A fire is said to
have damaged the plant in Macon
Sunday night and the Atlanta fac
tory claims to have a burst pipe that
let the ammonia out.
What the real truth of the matter
is each citizen can guess for himself.
One thing is sure—and that is Jack
son has had rotte ice service this
son has had rotten ice service this
city. These ice famines have been
occurring off and on the whole sum
mer and tke general public is about
thread bare and ready to subscribe
stock for an ice factory or do any
thing else reasonable to get the kind
or service they are entitled to re
ceive. f
CAPTAIN “DICK’’ RUSSELL
WILL BE TRANSFERRED
Commander of City Military Police
Will Command Company
Captain “Dick” Russell, command
ing officer of Company A, 106th
Train and Military Police, is to be
transferred to the 121st Infantry.
Captain Russell went to the Mexican
border with his home company of
Jackson, and at that time he was in
the infantry, but after reuming from
the border Captain Russell’s compa
ny was made one of the two military
police companies.
When Captain Russell is transfer
red, which will be in a few days, he
will leave only a few* of his old men
in company B, as a large number have
already crossed the Atlantic and the
company is more than 50 per cent
filled with men from Illinois and
Michigan who were either policemen
or were especially fitted for mili
tary police work.
While in command of Company B,
Captain Russell was provost marshal
in Macon and was one of the most ef
ficient and popular military police of
ficers ever on duty in the city.—Ma

COTTON FARMERS WILL MEET
IN ATLANTA ON AUGUST 16
Ginning For This Season and Other
Matters to Be Considered
President J. H. Mills, of the Geor
gia Farmers’ Union, has called a
meeting of the cotton farmers of
the state, to be held at noon on the
16, in the assembly room of the Kim
ball House, for the purpose of pre
paring an expression from the farm
ers to be sent to the food administra
tion, on the price and regulations
for ginning this season.
In his call for the meeting Mr.
Mills says a meeting of ginners was
held in Atlanta last week, at which a
price of 75 cents a hundred was re
commended to the food administra
tion for g inning lint cotton, this not
to include the bagging and ties, but
“at this meeting there was not a
producer present but who had finan
cial interest in a gin.” Mr. Mills con
tends to the farmers that “75 cents
per hundred on lint cotton is ex
cessive, and should not be allowed.”

“FRIED EGGS—BOTH SIDES”
Though American soldiers talk of
“beefsteak and onions” and “choco
late ice cream soda” in their sleep,
they call for “fried eggs—both sides”
when they order a meal while on 1 -
leave in Great Britain or France. In
Liverpool, England, one woman, Mrs.
Nannie Stroud, fried—both sides—
-1,236 eggs for hungry American sol
diers in ten hours one day. She said,
as she stood beside what seemed a
mountai nof eggs, that it was not an
unusual number.
“They always say, ‘fried eggs’ and
then after a pause ‘both sides.’ ” she
said in discussing the likes and dis
likes of American soldiers. That
both sides’ is the heartbreaking
thing. It means standing by a hot
fire nearly twice as long, but those
men like ‘both sides’ so they must
have them.”
Next to eggs fried—both sides—
they want baked beans, then ham
sandwiches and buns. The liking for
other foods seems pretty well distri
buted. They ask for apple pie but
do not complain when they learn it
cannot be provided. Sometimes they
are a little provoked that they do
not get mince pie. Many say it is a
funny eating place that does not have
mince pie. Coffee is the popular drink
with Americans. Cocoa is second with
malted milk third.
An innovation was recently tried
out in England. Pancakes, American
style, were added to the menu. The
demand was so great they had to be
taken off the menu.
Lunch rooms, dining rooms, restau
rants, canteens—call them what you
please—are conducted at many cen
ters. The prices American soldiers
pay for their food at these places is
remarkably low.—Americus Times-
Recorder.
A TRIBUTE TO WATER
Col. Bob Maxe, a typical southern
gentleman of the old school, was sur
prised when at a banquet in Arkan
sas he found that he was down to re
spond to the toast, “Water.” And
this is what the Colonel said:
“Water is the purest and best of
all things that God created. I have
seen it glisten in tiny tear-drops on
the sleeping lids of infancy. I have
seen it trickle down the blushing
cheeks of youth, and go in torrents
dovsn the wrinkled cheeks of age. I
have seen it in tiny dewdrops on the
blades of grass and leaves of trees,
flashing like polished diamonds when
the sun bursts in resplendent glory
over the eastern hills. I have seen it
trickle down the mountain sides in ti
ny rivulets with thee music of the li
quid silver striking on beds of dia
monds. I have seen it in the rushing
river rippling over pebbly bottoms,
purling about jutting stoines, roaring
over precipitous falls in the mad rush
to join the mighty father of waters. I
have seen it go in slow and majestic
sweep to join the ocean. And I have
seen it in the mighty ocean on whose
broad bosom float the battle fleets of
all nations and the commerce of the
world. But, gentlemen, I want to say
to you now that as a beverage it is
a d—m failure. —Exchange.
PREPARE FOR THE HOT WAVE
The hot sun is doubly dangerous if
there is a mass of undigested food in
the stomach, causing distress and
auto intoxication, casting congesting
poisons throughout the system. Fo
ley Cathartic Tablets give prompt
and sure relief. They act gently but
do their work thoroughly. They
cleanse the bowels, sweeten the
stomach and benefit the liver. Rec
ommended for indigestion, bilious
ness, bad breath, bloating, gas or con
stipation. Carmichael Drug and Book

THE HOME TOWN MAP
Large scale maps of the United
States hanging on the walls of Amer
ican Y. M. C. A. huts in the war zone
are being “flagged” by our boys in;
khaki. The maps are covered with
tiny American flags marking their
home towns in the various states. It’s
a great game.
