Canines Are
Favorites For
High Life
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 9.—The spotted
English bull-dog that Walter Taylor
saw jump from the roof of a second
story building yesterday on Marietta
street, serves to call attention to the
fact that a number of building roofs
in the heart of Atlanta are favorite
haunts for canines. If you don’t be
lieve it, just get on top of a centrally
located skyscraper any time with a
pair of field glasses and scan the sur
rounding roofs. On the roof of the
tall Silvey building, more than likely,
you will see the two fine hunting dogs
t>f Marshal cKenzie sunning them
selves, and perhaps lolling over the
narrow paraphet, watching the traffic
three hundred feet below.
Only across the street on the roof
ot the Kimball, you may frequently
see a blonde lady strolling, accompan
ied by a poodle that frisks as happily
as if he were on terra firma. There is
a collie on a skyscraper roof a little
further up town, and there is the Mar
ietta street bulldog which wasn’t hurt
all by his jump. Most of these
dcgs live on the roofs.
Soldiers’ Will
Causes Dispute
After Death
BERLIN, Feb. 9. —Questions of the
validity of soldiers’ wills, generally
made in the field and often in the form
of letters home, have given the civil
courts some hard nuts to crack, in
I lore than one case the perfectly patent
intention of the devisor has had to be
ignored because he did not know how
<o draw up a binding document.
Two such cases have just been pass
fed upon, and the verdicts have been op -
posite to each other through sheer ac
cident. The first is that of a soldier
who wrote'from the trenches of France
to his fiance telling her that if he
should fall he wanted her to have one
half of his property. He sent a second
letter to her parents which he signed
“Your Son Fritz.’’ The first was sign
ed “Your true Fritz.”
By accident rather than by design
he wrote out in one of the letters his
(full name and address to indicate how
letters to him should be made out. The
court held that this accidental inser
tion o fthe full name legally establish
ed the identity of the testator, as his
signature did not, and therefore up
held the validity of the letter-will.
A similar case went the other wav
because the Latter was signed only by
e. Christian name. A mother sued in
behalf of her daughter for half of a
fallen soldier’s estate, on the basis of
a letter signed only “Heinrich" and not
dated from any definite place. Though
.there seemed to be no moral doubt of
Heinrich’s intentions, the court ruled
against his fiance.
THE PROPER COURSE
INFORMATION OF PRICELESS
VALUE TO EVERY AMERICUS
CITIEN.
How to act in an emergency is
knowledge of inestimable worth, and
this is particularly true of the dis
eases and ills of the human body. If
you suffer with kidney backache, urin
ary disorders, or any form of kidney
trouble, the advice contained in- the
following statement should add a
valuable asset to your store of knowl
edge. What could be more convinc
ing proof of the efficiency of Doan’s
Kidney Pills than the statement of an
Americus citizen who used them and
who publicly tells of the benefit de
rived?
J. T. Bragg. 705 Hancock St., Amer
icus, says: “Sometimese eaefter being
on my feet a good deal, I have had a
dull ache across the small of my back.
At times there are irregularities of the
kidney secretions. I have used Doan’s
Kidney Pills on more than one occas
ion and have always had relief. They
rid me of the attacks of backache ana
put my kidneys in a normal condition.”

MRS. J. D. MORRISON DECLARES
SHE IS NOW WELL AND STRONG
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
The phone rang at Morris’ drug store
in Ensley, Alabama, recently and when
Mr. Allison, of the firm, answered this
is the message he received:
“This is Mrs. J. D. Morrison at 1403
Avenue F, Ensley, and I want you to
ask one of the Tanlac Company’s men
to come to see me, for I want every
body to know what this medicine has
done for me.”
That same afternoon the local Tan
lac representative called to see Mrs.
Morrison at her home, when she made
the following remarkable statement:
“Three years ago I lost my health,
and have been sick ever since. I had
chronic stomach trouble of the worst
kind and just seemed to go into a gen
eral decline. Nobody but people who
have had this awful trouble know how
I have suffered.
“I tried doctors, I tried medicine and
tried everything, but nothing seemed '
to help me a particle. I tried dieting
and lived on liquid foods, raw eggs and
things like that until I almost starved,
but even that failed to relieve my
trouble.
"I lost all the strength I had and was
a nervous wreck. I never knew what
it was to get a good night’s sleep and
was nervous, feverish and restless
most all of the time. I also suffered
dreadfully from biliousness and consti
pation and was never free from pain
night or day.
"The 26th of last March I was taken
to the hospital and operated on for
v hat was supposed to be female trou
ble, and when I left the hospital I was
nothing but a living skeleton and only
weighed 66 pounds. That is the truth
and everybody who knows me will tell
you it is a fact. The operation didn’t
do me any good as far as restoring my
-health was concerned. If anything,
got worse and it just looked like I was
going to die.
“Finally I was told that my trouble
was Tuberculosis of the bowels and
that I had better stay out in the fresh
air all I could, as nothing else could be
done for me.
“About that time I began hearing a
lot of talk about the new medicine,
Tanlac, and read a great deal in the
papers what different people had to
say about it. Something just seemed to
tell me it was what I needed, although
the doctor didn’t think so, but I told
him I was going to try it anyway, as
they had already said they could do
nothing more for me.
“The first bottle didn’t do me much
good as far as I could tell, but that
ddin’t dishearten me, for I knew it
would take time in my case, so I got
ti e second bottle and began improving
right away.
"After this I commneced eating and
my appetite increased every day. By
the time I had taken three bottles 1
was able to eat whatever I liked and
sained flesh and strength right alon.
“My nerves got settled and I got
so I could sleep good at night, Why,
on the fourth bottle alone I gained 7
pounds, and the other day I actually
weighed 99 pounds. Yes, sir, I went
from 66 to 99 pounds—that’s what Tan
lac did for me.
“I feel so much better and stronger
I am now doing eevry bit of my work.
I even do the washing and nothing
seems to hurt me. Honestly, this Tan
lac beats anything I ever saw in my
life, and I would not give one bottle
of it for all the other medicines in
Ensley and Birmingham put together.
“I have just returned from a visit to
n?y old home near Alabama City, and it
is an honest fact that my own sisters
did not know me at first. All around
here my neighbors are wondering what
on earth I have found to put me on
my feet again, for they had given me
up to die months ago.
“Never as long as I live will I ever
be without a bottle of Tanlac In my
house, because I owe my life to this

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
One Majority
Places Him In
Big Affairs
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 9.—Frank Car
ter, the well known printer and news
paper man, who claims to have more
children and less money than any other
citizen of Georgia ,has just had the
unique distinction of being elected a
member of the city council of Clarks
ton by a total majority of one vote.
The one vote didn’t represent a plu
rality—there would have been nothing
so unusual in that. It represented the
total number of votes cast. So the
election was unanimous. Clarkston
fcas about fifty voting citizens who
fcould have cast their ballot, but there
was no opposition, and only one took
the trouble to go to the polls.
Mr. Carter has numerous other
claims to distinction. He wrote the
first successful five-cent novel circu
lated in the South after lhe war. It
was entitled'“The Balloon Manager’s
Story.” When asked if a balloon man
ager and a sky-pilot were the same
thing, Mr. Carter refused to commit
himself. He is also editor of the
“Down-And-Out Bugle,” a newspaper
that is published once .every year.
Dutch Socialist
Is Very Much
Alive Despite
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Feb. 9.
The great Socialist Internationals is
not dead but very much alive, accord
ing to a statement made to a Congress
of the Dutch Socialist party at Arn
hem by M. Camille Huysmans, the eßl
gian Secretary of the International
Socialist Bureau whose seat was re
moved from Brussels to The Hague on
the German occupation of the former
city. If the Socialists had been at the
head of the government of Europe,
the war would never have broken out,
he believes, and he expressed the view
that the lines of the political move
ment were gradually converging in a
direction which would restablish the
jinity of the proletariate throughout
the world.
He maintained that none of the ob
jects of the war had been reached, and
printed out that on July 31 next some
41 millions of dollars would have been
thrown away ,and millions killed and
maimed ,as the result of an imperialis
tic as opposed to the all-redeeming
Socialistic policy.
AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOLS
AHhUAL CONTESU PLANNED
ATHENS, Ga., Feb. 9.—April 28, 29
has been chosen as the time for the
first -tate meet of the district agricul
tural high schools of the state. The
place of meeting is at Athens under the
auspices of the State College of Agri
culture. The contest will be held an
nually and will be for honors in de
bate, essays and various athletic trials.
The preliminary arrangements have
been disposed of in part by a committee
of four which set at the College of
Agriculture. Prof. J. C. Stewart of
the University of Georgia was made
secretary of the meet. The rules which
govern the annual high school meets
will also govern the agricultural high
school contests except that there will
be no age limit.
It is expected that about 100 boys
and girls will take part in the first
annual agricultural high school meet
at Athens in April.

HOG CHOLERA
SERUM IN GEORGIA
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Os Agriculture.
Judging from reports coming from
various parts of the state, there is still
a misapprehension as to what part the
College of Agriculture has in the man
ufacture and distribution of hog chol
era serum. By law the College is em
powered to manufacture the serum for
the farmers of the state at lowest pos
sible cost, but the law does not per
mit the College to distribute the serum
direct to the farmer, county agents,
veterinarians or other agencies of the
state, but it specifies that the serum
shall be distributed by the vet
erinarian’s office at the State
Capitol. Therefore, all College serum
must be turned over to the state veter
inarian. It is manufactured and held
in storage subject to the order of the
state veterinarian, and is promptly
turned over to him on his request,
usually in large quantities and in full
for all orders. The responsibility of
the College, therefore, ends, so far as
the distribution of the serum is con
cerned, when it fills the orders of the
state veterinarian.
Tne law empowers the state vetere
narian to send out the serum I '*With
such instructions as are necessary to
all persons in the state who make de
mand for state-made serum. The leg
islature has made special appropria
tions to the veterinarian’s office to fa
cilitate and expedite the distribution
of the serum. Until this year the leg
islature had appropriated a like sum
for the manufacture of the serum. The
only appropriation, therefore, now be
ing made for serum by the state of
Georgia, is to the office of the state
veterinarian for the distribution of it.
In view of the failure of the legis
lature to make the appropriation for
the manufacture of serum, it has fall
en upon the College of Agriculture to
assume responsibility for carrying out
the purposes of the law without finan
cial aid, by undertaking to manufac
ture serum at the lowest cost at which
any kind of serum is offered on the
market. The College serum is tested
and guaranteed. Those who want the
College serum should make request for
it, ainoe the state veterinarian also
distributes commercial serum and does
not confine himself to distributing
state serum alone. Do not, however,
make request upon the College. All
requests must go to the state veteri
narian at Atlanta.
In this connection, it is pertinent to
state that Georgia farmers get from
their state serum plant a serum that
costs them far less than any other
southern state plant provides it. In
such states farmers are taking the
higher priced state-made serum in
preference to commercial serums being
offered.
Farmers Waroed-Soda
Lye Is Not Potash
W. A. Worsham, Jr., Professor Agr.
Chemistry Ga. College Os Agri.
Information has come to the Col
lege of Agriculture indicating that in
several sections of Georgia there has
been an effort to sell caustic soda
as a substitute for potash for mixing
fertilizers. Caustic soda preparations
do not contain any potash whatever.
The only effect of an application to
the soil would be to consume the
humus, the one thing in which the
soils of the south are most deficient.
Caustic soda has been mistakenly call
ed “potash.” It has been used for
soap making just as balls of potash
were formerly used for that purpose,
but soda has come to supplant potash,
because it is far cheaper and makes
a firmer soap.
The similarity of the two may fool I
the farmer into thinking thpt. the soda I
preparation is potash, but the plant
cannot be fooled. It requires potash
as a part of its food, and will not
take up soda as a substitute. The
practice of selling caustic soda as a
substitute for potash cannot be too
strongly condemned, and fargjers
should beware of any substitute for
potash until he has received the ad
vice of disinterested experts.
Spring Garden Planting Time
For those who wish to add to their
garden crops and be more able to
"live at home," the following data
about various crops as to when to
plant and how much to plant may be
of service. Those who want fuller
information should write the College of
Agriculture at Athens for the bulletin
entitled "Vegetable Gardening in the
South.” It is sent free.
Asparagus, December 1 to March 15,
2 ounces to 100-foot row; Bush Bean,
March 1 to March 15, or when danger
of frost is past, 1 to 1% pints to 100-
foot row; Beet, November 1 to March
1,1 to I*6 ounces to a 100-foot row;
Cauliflower, May to September, 50
plants to 100-foot row; Cucumber,
March 1 to 15, 25 hills to 100-foot
row; Irish Potatoes, about February
1, 2 to 3 quarts per 100-foot row ;
Radish, Christmas to last of February,
1 ounce to 100-foot row; Squash,
March 1-15, ten hills to 100-foot row;
Watermelons, about March 15, 10 hills
to 100-foot row.
District agents in farm demonstra
tion work are being located at the
various district agricultural schools,
from which places as headquarters
they will prosecute the work and co
operate with the agricultural schools.
HENPECKED HENRY
The type of henpecked husband pre
sented in Halton Power’s famous com
edy, "Henpecked Henry” which will be
seen here at the Opera House next
Monday, matinee and night, is elabor
ately different from the accepted idea
pf a stage “Barnaby.” The character
is a creation and unlike any other ever
presented heretofore. It is a revela
tion in musical comedy characteriza
tion. "Henry” is henpecked and des
perately afraid of his wife, but he
never allows her to know it. Nine out
of every ten husbands will appreciate
“Henry,” sympathize with him and se
cretly acknowledge in their own hearts
that he is a relica of themselves. "Hen
pecked Henry” is drawn true to life
and at the same time is the funniest
character ever presented upon the
American stage. The musical numbers
ere augumented by a chorus of pretty
girls who wear the most gorgeous
costumes ever used with a one-night
stand production.
