HEARD FROM
FORMER PASTOR OF THE
CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH
STATES HIS POSITION.
Americus, Ga. —“I hare been
using Jones’ Balsam of Ben
zoin for quite a long time, in
fact, almost as soon as you be
gan to manufacture it my fam
ily commenced using it. Ordi
narily I wouldn’t care to give
a letter of recommendation on
a preparation of this kind, but
I have found this Balsam to be
extremely good as a family lin
iment. For such things as cuts,
bruises, burns, swellings, aches
and pains, sores, etc., etc., I
find it does what you say for it.
I feel no hesitancy in recom
mending Jones’ Balsam of Ben
zoln to my friends, acquaint
ances and the public general
ly.”
This Balsam should be in ev
ery home. A trial convinces.
For sale by all druggists and
dealers.

service abroad and representatives of
the woman’s Liberty Loan committee
and the federal reserve districts vis
ited.
The first speaking party, consisting
of the Hon. James Frances Burke, a
prominent lawyer and financier of
Pittsburg; Sergt. Verne Marshall, a
woman speaker, and a federal re
serve district representative not yet
named, will open a tour of the Atlanta,'
St. Louis, Cleveland and Ricmond dis-1
tricts at Atlanta on Monday, March
11. On March 25 at New Orleans John
Burke, treasurer of the United States,
will succeed James Frances B«rke
as head of the party and continue f
with it until the last meeting at Clarks
burg, W. Va., on April 6.
The complete itinerary of this party
follows: Atlanta, March 11; Macon,
March 12; Augusta, March 13! Savan
nah, March 14; Waycross, March 15;

will be announced within a few days.
Several motion picture stars will be
among the speakeis to be used in the
regular Liberty Loan campaign. Doug
las Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and Mar
guerite Clarke already have accepted
invitations to speak. Credit for ob
taining them and other public favorites
is due in great part to Jesse L. Lasky, 1
manager of the Lasky Company, and
G ,G Greenwood, the vice president I
of the Hollywood National Bank,!
Hollywood, Cal.
In previous campaigns Fairbanks.
worked enthusiastically to further tho
sale of bonds, but this time he has j
gone further, proposing to •dve his
entire time to the campaign. He will
talk in many of the principal (Sties
of the country. Mary Pickford will'
devote at least a week to prominent I
eastern cities, and Marguerite Clark
will make an extended tour through
the central states. It is expected that
these popular players will attract large
audiences and arouse a correspond
ing amount of enthusiasm and patriot
ism.
AINSWORTH APPEALS
FOR M
SAVANNAH, Ga., March 6.—Ad
dressing a solemn appeal to "sober
sense of Savannah,” the Rev. W. N. ■
Ainsworth of the Wesley Monumental
Methodist church strongly urged that ’
the business interests of Savannah
unite to avoid a political carnival
of hate such as is now looming up. I
H“ made this concrete suggestion:
“That the Board of Trade, the Ro
tary Club, Retail Merchants Associa
tion, Greater Savannah Commercial ;
Club, the labor federation and otherl
leading organizations come together
and agree on a strong, high-minded
man, free from the taint of politics,
aldermanic ticket of corresponding'
caliber. X
“For God's sake and for Savannah’s
sake, will not the solid business inter
ests of SavaAnah see to it that there
U not a worming-up track for any
race on principles of relaxed law en >
forcement?” Delared Dr. Ainstworth,
adding that Savannah “has gained
more in public respect, civic pride and
expansion of business during these
late years of deepening respect for
la wthan in the previous twenty.”
For the first time in the history of
American Methodism, the average sal
ary of the Methodist preacher is now
more than SI,OOO.

| LETTERS TO EDITOR
A Suggestion.
Walking through your city's streets
I and quite a little out of town I noticed
I good-sized empty lots and fields that
did not see a plow in years. Might
I not suggest to the readers of your
valuable paper to “help win the war”
by organizing and let all the lots fields
around the city be cultivated and plant
I vegetables, etc. Thei'e are a lot of
I colored citizens who are willing to
't 0 do their bit to help win the war.
At the same time the owners of such
property would get the benefit either
by being paid in rentals or share the
I use of the vegetables raised on their
‘ property, and at the same time be pa
' triotic to help win the war. Every
bit in raising food helps.
I Trusting your paper will take the
matter up and help organize this move
ment, I am
Yours truly,

DOUBLY PROVEN.
Times-Recorder Readers Can No
Longer Doubt The Evidence.
This Americus citizen testified long
ago.
| Told of quick relief—of undoubted
benefit.
I The facts are now confirmed.
Such testimony is complete—the evi
dence conclusive.
It forms convincing proof of merit,
i A. C. Alexander, grocer, 712 Spring
street, Americus, says: “My back
caused me much suffering and I was
hardly able to perform my duties on
account of the pain. My kidneys act
ed irregularly and the secretions were
too frequent in passage, making me
get up a number of times at night.
Doan’ s Kidney Pills soon relieved me
of the pa’n in my bank and my kid
neys became normal. The pains left
and I have never had them since.”
, LASTING BENEFIT.
| Over four years later, Mr. Alexander
said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills made a
cure for me, which has been perma
nent and my back and kidneys don’t
bother me a bit.”
I Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get

ENGUND GOES ON
food ration now
FROM KING TO THE HUMBLEST
CITIZEN, CARDS ARE NECESSA
RY TO PURCHASE FOOD NECES
SITIES OF LIFE.
LONDON, March 6. —The compui
sory rationing of meat, butter and
margarine to the English, from the
King to the humblest citizen, has be
gun in London tfnd some counties
of England, aggregating more than
10,000,000 souls, in four weeks the
rationing of meat will become general
throughout the country, and four or
five weeks later a national rationing
scheme which can be applied, as the
necessity arises, to any staple food
stuff also will be operative.
Although the departure is described
as perhaps the greatest social revolu
tion in the history of England, the
people accepted it without a com
plaint, and in many cases welcomed
it as ending the necessity for stand
ing in long lines at markets and
stores awaiting their turn, rich and
poor alike, to secure supplies.
No one from today will be able to
buy butter, margarine or meat with
out cards. On the cards are four
coupons for each week, of which only
three may be used in buying butch
ers’ meats, such as beef, mutton and
pork, of which the allowance per per
son weekly is a pound and a quarter
end for children under ten years of
age ten ounces. The bitter or mar
garine ration is four ounces per per
son weekly.
Today’s newspapers give more
prominence to the new rationing plan
than to any other news and urge
everybody to be cheerful and tolerant
about initial hitches in the scheme so
as to give it a fair chance. They say
Im one need fear being unable to get
raUons.and therefore there is no neces
sity to rush to the butcher shop and
grocery store.
SIX-HOUR WORK DM
URGED FOR BRITISH
WASHINGTON, March 6.—Accord
ing to a report received by the Depart
ed’ Commerce, a'six-hour working day,
with increases of output and pay and
reduction of cost, advocated by Lord
Leverhulme in an address to Birming
ham business men, is interesting Brit
ish employers of labor.
“Sufficient thought is not given
to the man behind the machine” said
Lord Leverhulme. “Intelligence and
application count for more than mere
hours and should be the first con
sideration in fixing a wage scale.
There is no reason why capital and
labor should remain in opposed camps
and ti would be better for both if they
could compose their differences.
“increase your output with shorter
working hours and without decreas
ing pay. Take the workmen into
your confidence and ask each to solve
the problem in his own department
There should be no decrease of wages
for the six-hour day; if it is feasible
they should be higher. There should
be no decrease of production. On the
contrary it should be increased.”
When the war is over, be said, Eng
k-nd-will be four years in arrears ,n
renewals of plants, machinery and
various other mechanical utilities in
factories. Men will be available, re
turned soldiers and those released
from munition factories and other war
works.
PORK OH SATURDAYS
, 15 NOW PERMITTED i,
WASHINGTON, March 6.—Tempo-!
rary suspension of the meatless meal'
and of the special restriction against
the use of pork on Saturdays has been
announced by the food administration
ar a readjustment of its food conserva
tion program. Increased meat pro
duction and the necessity for still ,
greater saving in wheat, it was de-!
dared, make the change advisable.
The suspension is made effective for,
'an indefinite period. and it probably
will last for three months longer.
Since all restrictions on eonsump
' tion of mutton and lamb had been ,
j lifted previously the food administra-'
1 tion now asks the public for the time-'

ARE YOU PREPARED?
The most vital question in America today is individual
.preparedness. The Great World War is causing us all to
have an eye to the future—individual preparedness for any
.thing that may come, but
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU
.that the purchasing value of an American dollar today is
about half of what it wag 10 years ago. With one important
.exception, everything we eat, wear or use, has grown con
stantly more expensive. This 13 one reason why Life insur
ance stands pre eminently alone among the dungs which
the American dollar is buying today. Relatively figured,
.there has been a very decided decrease in the cost of life
insurance during the past ten years.
WAR IS UPON US
We enter it reluctantly but proudly. We know for a cer
.tainty that many of our men “Over There” will never come
back. And yet a Certain average death rate is just as sure
.among those of us who stay at home! Men are still subject
to all the ills that flesh is heir to, and the hazards of war
constitute one added reason for life insurance protection.
Mortality statistics show that at age 35, out of 14100 men 9
.will die before the year is eut, but whether you will be one
of the 9 no one knows. >
. Theie fs no better combination of Investment, Savings and
Protection than that afforded by a policy in the MUTUAL
BENEFIT LIFE-INSURANCE COMPANY, of Newark, N- J.
.It is a purely mutual company founded in 1845, with n»
stockholders and all the Savings go direct to the polkjyhold
. ers. It was founded for a distinct social purpose—to distrib
.ute losses among thousands which to the individual would be
overwhelming. ! ,
The assets of the company arc diversified and of the
highest character. The Mutual Benefit has survived every
great panic in America. It went through the Civil War with
.credit to itself, and now offers to the American people, at
, this time of stress, secure life insurance protection, under a
liberal contract, at minimum cost. It is an American com
pany, operating on the mutual principle for the American
people. ’ ‘
