A City Enterprise.
Community health is a greater as
set than industry itself—for what
profits it to the community at
large if disease lurks in dusty
clouds and dingy comers, if
are half nourished and
wholly infected with unclean
air and incompetent foods? Years
have passed since it became known
beyond all doubt that flies and mos
quitoes and dust bearing disease and
death were nnnesyreary and easily
eradicated. Yetdaily the city’s own
wagons, new wagons, just purchased,
drawn by fat mules, gather up the
most easily picked up refuse of all
the people, preserve it in heaps and
propagate germs by the billion.
The city’s plant for the preserva
tion of filth and distribution of dis
ease is the acme of perfection in its
sphere. Great swarms of more kinds
of flics and mosquitoes than most
naturalists know arise from these
piles, their feet well perfumed from
walking over the mass, and fly
straight to dining rooms and bed
rooms of our wives and children.
To stop this is a man’s work. The
women and servants can’t be blamed
for flies when the voters of the city
maintain a plant for the preservation
and propagation of Dies, mosquitoes
and disease. This i* the big issue in
the present campaign—what candi
dates will promise to step this plant?
Where Brotherhood Counts.
The spirit of helpfulness, the bonds
of brotherhood flowering now in the
United States is well exemplified by
the efforts of people outside of the
cotton states to help those inside.
Among the great firms that are buy

it at much less, is the firm of Sharp

BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
London, Sept. 30—(By mail to New I
I-* —1 I
Yorlu—
I Fleury Laure is al the front,
And I must get there too.
Why do you let him go to war.
And keep us back with you.”
It isn’t a song; it isn’t even a poem.
IPs a chant of Woe that was intoned
by the war correspondents during cer
tain days of the present war. Mon
ocled England journalists, who hadn’t
worn ordinaiy street clothes for
weeks, drawled It In the war office in
London, t.» walrus-mustached officers.
Whiskered French war writers who
had thrown away all their every day
clothes except their flowing bow ties,
gesticulated it to
ed officers in the correspondents, who
have their own ways of dressing for
warfare, went to the high school build
ing where the Belgian government
now lives and said it in Flemish to
the Belgian war lords.
In Petrograd, too, the war -lords
heard the plaint in Russia, from
bearded war reporters.
Perhaps even German journalists
chanted it. American war correspon
dents yelled it in every capital. .
w Fleury I.anre is at the front;
Why can’t I go there too?”
Nobodv hod heard of Fleury Laure
before. One day, in a London news
naper there appeared an article by
him on the fall of Charles I. It was a
•plerdid first-hand store of the battle
and the entry of the Germans. The
next dav another first-hand story by
Laure appeared, from another town
which the Germans had seized.
The vr; correspondent* of Europe
grew worried. A mysterious man, of
whom they had never before heard,
named Laure, was at the front.
Whether he was at the German or the
French front they couldn’t tell. The
third day’s story from another town
of Another tattle started the war cor
respondents* lament in every capital
in Europe.
Who is this Fleury Laure? How
did he get to the front? These were
the question asked by every worried
editor In every newspaper in Christ
endoip.
“We must get that fellow away
from the front,” said the war offices.
If they hnd only known it Fleury
Insure was trying to save them the
trouble, ;
And now at last, the truth about
Fleury Laure is out I write it to
praise his luck, his pluck and pres
ence of mind. He had been the local
correspondent of a London newspaper
in his home town of Charleroi.
The wa” offices of Europe were
keeping n’l the big war correspon
dents of the world away from the fir
ing line, but they couldn’t keep the
firing line away from this local cor
respondent. ' ,
As sonn as Laure saw what was
happening to him in the way of a
gift fr m fate he took full advantage
of the onpoi cunity. He left Charleroi
nt onside o' the town while the Ger
mans were coming in at the other.
At the next town he sent his story
to London and waited for the Ger
mans again. They came, too.
Day after day, being only two
jumps ahead of the Germans, as you
might say, he got stories of the Ger
man advanro through Belgian which
the newspapers of the world were
hungry for.
And so the front, which came to
Fleury I«urc, instead of him going
to it, chased him clear down into
France and. at last, squeezed him in
to Paris’, where the great big, world
famous war correspondents could get
a look at him, slap him on the back
and say, “Welcome, son, to our noble
midst.
And now he belongs.
A new danger threatens the Aus
trian government, according to a pri
vate letter just received here from a
student in Bohemia. The Czechs are
reported to lie rising in revolt against
the Austrian government. Several of
th'eir newspa|>era have been suppress
ed and some of their leaders have
been executed. They are reported to <
be especially bitter against the well
to-do classes and a serious uprising is
feartd.

THE ISLE.
There was a little lawn islet
By anemone and violet,
Like mosaic paven,
And its roof was flowers and
leaves.
Which the summers breath en
weaves.
Where no sun nor showers nor
breeze
Pierce the pines and tallest trees,
Each a gem engraven.
Girt by many an azure wave
With which the clouds and
mountains pave
A lake’s blue chasm.
—Shelley.
CRITICAL MOMENTS.
What the War Teachea.
Every life has its critical moments.
There are times when a man’s health
is staked upon the care he gives to it
within a fe v hours. His system may
be run down, blood laden with bilious
poison and lungs or skin affected.
Twenty-four hours after you start
to take Or. Pierce Golden Medical
Discovery, poisonous matter and
blood hnpuri’ies begin to leave your
body through the liver, bowels, kid
neys and skin.
So powerfully penetrating is this
purely vegetable remedy that through
the circulation of the blood it reaches
very fibre, muscle and joint, dis
solves the poisonous secretions and
drives them out of the body.
It brings new activity to the liver,
stomach and bowels in a short time,
thus causing sallowness, indigestion
arid constipation to disappear.
It enters the tiny blood vessels of
the skin, bringing with it fresh vital
ized blood, and abiding faith in its
wonderful cleansing power has come
to thousands, when pimples, boils, car
buncles, rash, eczema, aene and other
skin troubles dry up and disappear.
Good blood means good health; good
health means strong men and women,
full of vigor and ambition, with minds
alert and muscles ever willing. Any

A FAIR WING
One That Should Be Heeded By Grif
fin Residents.
Frequently the first sign of kidney
trouble is a slight ache or pain in the
loins. Neglect of this warning makes
the way easy for more serious
troubles—-dropsy, gravel Bright’s dis
ease. Tis well to pay attention to the
first sign. Weak kidneys generally
grow weaker and delay is often dan
gerous. Residents of this localtiy
place reliance in Doan’s Kidney Pills.
This tested remedy has been used in
kidney trouble over 50 years—is rec
ommended all over the civilized
world. Read the following:
Mrs. B. F. Doe, 625 W. Solomon St.,
Griffin, Ga., says: “I cannot endorse
Doan’s Kidney Pills too highly for
they have kept me in good health for
three years. I am never without a
supply in the house and I think so
highly of them that I willingly allow
the continued publication of my for
mer statement. I was a sufferer from
kidney trouble for years and my sys
tem seemed to be filled with urie
acid. I had acute pains in my back and
sides and was very weak and nervous.
When I heard about Doan’s Kidney
Pills, I immediately got a supply at
Brooks Drug Store and they did me
more good than anything else I had
ever taken.”
Price 50e, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Doe had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
