APPEALS TO SOUTH i
' I "I particularly appeal to the farmers of the South to plant
abundant foodstuffs as we 11 as cotton. They can show their
patriotism in no better or more convincing way than by resist
ing the great temptation of the present price of cotton and help
ui>on a great scale, to fee l the Nation and the peoples every
where who are figfhting for their liberties and for our own. The
j variety of their crops will be the visible measure of their com-
I prehension of their national duty.” I

DRY LAW COMING
IN A FEW YEARS
MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 22.—Na
tional prohibition will be a reality in
the United States by 1923.
This is the prediction made by ex-
Governor M. R. Patterson, o ne of the
foremost speakers of the National
Anti-Saloon League, who is resting at
hi s home here for a few days.
“I feel sure that our hopes will be
achieved within the next five years,’
said Governor Patterson, “although
v’c have seven years under the law in
which the constitutional amendment
may be ratified. I believe that suc
cess will crown our efforts at least
two years before the time expires.”
The ex-governor denies that he will
be a candidate forte senate.

STRANGE WOMEN
ARE SOLICITORS
A number of residents of Americus
have recently commented upon the un
usual number of strange women who
are going about from house to house
endeavoring to interest householders
in various artcles of household use
fulness. The ladies have been annoy
e< no little by these itinerants, and
in several instances they have refus
ed to leave when asked, standing up
t n the verandah; until the door was |
closed in their faces.
One of these peddlers, especially,
has a marked German appearance, and
this has led to the fear that some of
tlese women may be German agents
or otherwise bent on mischief. So far
as is known none of these itinerants
have licenses to ply their vocation in
Americus, and one lady who has been
particularly annoyed today asked the
Times-Recorder to publish a news
story calling attention to the presence
of the strangers in Americus.

< hemists Rid Doctors’ Favorite Medi
Icine of Nauseating and Dangerous
Qualities —New Variety Called “Cal
otabs.”
A triumph of modern pharmacy that
is destined to bless the whole world
—that is the opinion of physicians and
druggists who are familiar with the
new calomel that is wholly free from
the objectionable effects of the old
style calomel.
An occasional purifying of the sys
tem and thorough cleansing of the
liver are absolutely essential to
health, and, as all doctors know, calo
mel is the only drug that accomplishes
this result. Now that the unpleasant
and dangerous effects are entirely re
moved, the popularity of the new cal
; omel, Calotabs, will be vastly increas
ed. tls effect is delightful. One tablet
at bedtime, a swallow of water —
that’s all. ou wake up next morning
feeling fine, your liver cleansed, your
system purified and with a hearty ap
petite for breakfast. Eat what you
please—no danger. No restrictions of
habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed ackages, price thirty-five cents.
Your druggist recommends and guar
antees them. adv

There is no superflous
