METHODISTS TO
HELP SOLDIERS
INTO GOOD JOBS
CHATTANOOGA, April 22.—The
Methodist church will be transformed
into a giant employment bureau for
discharged' soldiers and sailors on
May 4, according to plans being formu
lated at the southern division head
quarters here. From every pulpit of
the denomination the unemployment
problem will be put forward and the
peril discussed fully by Methodist
“Minute Men.” In many churches
over the South the business men in
the congregation on ‘Emploment Sun
day’ will drop in the offering, stating
how many men they can use. Those
.seeking positions will also put in
their names and a committee of the
church will bring them into contact
with employers needing help.
The appicants for positions do not
have to be members of the Methodist
church or any other church in order
to get the aid of the minute men in
their emplopment drive. The fact
that they served with the colors will
be sufficient reccommendation.
The plans prbvide for co-operation
with the United Stattes employment
bureau and that conducted by the Y.
M. C .A. wherever it is practical
Every church will have a committee
on employment and demobilization to
see how many of the soldiers of the
particular congregation have posi
tions awaiting them, and to open po
sitions for others who do not have
such oportunities.

speakers—laymen who are serving as
five-minute men in the giganic
Methodist Centenary campaign for
$105,000,000' —wijl tell of tthe em
ployment proposition, and sermons of
Methodist ministers will deal with the
same subject May 4. One or more
minute men will speak at every ser
vice.
Messages on the soldier and sailor
employment situation are in the
course of preparation for minute men,
shjowing not only its perils but the
possibilities of meeting it success
fully.
TWO CALOIDS MADE HIM
FEEL LIKE A NEW MAN
Just read what J. W. Carver, prom
inent farmer of Douglas county, has
to say about CALOIDS, the new calo
mel compound, which positively will
not give pain or distress of any kind:
“The Caloids Company,
“Atlanta, Ga.
“Gentlemen: Your new calomel com
pound, CALOIDS, is a wonder. For
years I have been a sufferer from bil
iousness and indigestion, and I am glad
to tell you that CALOIDS have done
more for me than any medicine that I
have ever taken. After taking only
two CALOIDS I could tell a big differ
ence, and have felt much better. In
fact, they made me feel like a new
man. And the good part is that the ef
fect seems to be lasting. lam glad
that I discovered CALOIDS, for they
have certainly helped me.”
J. W. CARVER, Douglasville, Ga.
CALOIDS contain calomel, but in
small doses and so combined with
other medicines that you never know
you have taken calomel at all. One
CALOID at night does the work. Get
them at your druggist’s. Twenty doses
for 35 cents. adv

in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
I Telia why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast
Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy complexions we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
cheeked people everywhere. The rea
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptotnalne-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
• Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day’s
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten
ing and purifying the entire alimen
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone,
its cleansing, sweetening and freshen
ing effect upon the system.

WHIMSICAL THOUGHTS KEEP
BARBARA AWAKE.
CHAPTER LXXII.
It was with such thoughts that I
waited for Neil. My confidence fully
restored!—so I thought; my heart
filled with love. It was long after
midnight when he came in.
“I thought you never would come,
dear. Iso wanted to explain things
to you, and I have scarcely seen you
since you came home,’ I said after
kissing him.
"You will oblige me very much if
you will postpine your explanation,
or forget it altogether. I am very
tired and in no mood for talk.”
Os course I said no more. I felt I
sure something had happened to up-1
set Neil; something unpleasant. Had ;
it been at Blanche Orton’s? The
thought was upsetting, to say the:
least. I wished it were morning and i
Mr. Frederick would come. I per- j
haps then would! get at the cause of
Neil’s abrupt repulse; his refusal to '
talk.
I was restless and unbidden
thoughts, many of them unwelcome
filled my mind. I recalled the time
I found the imprint of Blanche Or
ton’s check on the blotter in Neil’s
office. Even as long ago as that she
had been mixed up in his affairs in
some way. I seemed to be having a
streak of bad luck, almost. I had
been so happy, then came Lorraine
with the tale of Mr. Powers going to ■
her father, and the other things 1 j
had heard. Neil was still angry with |
me, would not listen when I tried to !
tell him I had not meant anything
wrong when I went to his off-ice. Yes
I was unlucky just now.
Then with the abruptness with
which we turn from one thing to an
other in the night when lying awake,'
I recalled seeing a long ladder I had
seen a few days previous raised
against a building. It was one of
the double sort, stretched wide apart
for safety. I watched the people as
they approached it, recalling the old
superstition about passing under a
ladder. Most of those who came
along went way out into the street
to avoid doing so, but occasionally I
noticed someone would deliberately
pass under the ladder. Finally quite
an elderly woman came along laden
with parcels, and she deliberately
shifted her load so that she could
pass under the ladder. I spoke to her
“Wiry did you go under the ladder? i
It is bad luck isn’t it?”
No, Miss. It brings you good luck,
Although some folks think the other
way.”
So as I lay wide-awake I thought
that no matter what one did perhaps (
it didn't make much difference in J
the end. If you went around the lad-1
der or under it, it all depended upon ’
your point of view whether It;
brought luck or not. Wasn’t it so
with life? Then my thoughts shift
ed again to my hope for a social ca- '
reer, a successful one. I recalled the
many lists of those whom I wished
to cultivate I had made, and destroy
ed until the final one which, suited
me, was complete.
The clock, struck four. I remem
bered nothing more until Ada called
me.
“It is nearly eight o'clock ma’am.”
i I had not heard Neil when he got
up, so soundly had I slept in the late
morning. Now I heard the water
running and knew he was in his bath.
I should have to hurry. I did so want
to talk to him. He had fallen asleep
almost immediately he had gone to
bed, and wouldi be rested. Perhaps
he would listen to me.
I was down almost as soon as he.
“Now, Neil, you must let me talk a
little,” I comnemced after he hud
his first cup of coffee. “I didn’t mean
to do anything to displease you, any
thing wrong by going to your office.
I did it because I loved you. If I did
not, I shouldn’t care so much when
people told lies about your business.”
He scowled, making no reply. It
wasn’t going to be as easy to explain
as I had: imagined. “You see I had
so planned upon having Mrs. Powers
—and when Lorraine said Mr. Pow
ers was the man who had warned
her father why I thought I
would find something to show that
—oh, that everything was all right.”
“I never want you to repeat that
performance, Barbara!” that was all
he said. He kissed me good bye in an
absent-minded way. I was sure he
was worried and anxious over some
thing. It was exactly eleven o'clock
when Ada announced Mr. Frederick.
Now I should perhaps learn some
thing of the cause.

West Point to Send
Teachers to Macon
WEST POINT, GA., April 22.—The
West Point Board of Education has
granted the teachers of the public
schools of this city a leave of absence!
on May 1 ,and 2 next in order that
they may attend the annual conven
tion of the Georgia Educational As
sociation, which convenes in Macon.
Walter P. Thomas, West Point sup
erintendent, who is president of the
Association, says the prospects are
fine for a record-breaking attendance.
Several superintendents have writ
ten him that all of the teachers of
their respective counties will be given
the privilege of attending the Macon
convention without loss of time, and
that part of their expenses will be de
frayed by the boards of education.
The program is of unusual interest
and value to every educator, who
wishes to keep in touch with modern
methods. Some of the greatest forces
in education in the country will tell
of modern movements.

Looks to Georgia
for Beef Supply
NEW YORK, April 22.—H. C. Prit
chard, of Savannah, who is stopping
thanks to “pig clubs” and “corn clubs’
at the Waldorf-Astoria, says that
thanks to “pig clubs’’ and “corn
clubs,” the once popular razorback
hog, which weighed from 75 to 100
pounds, has gone the way of all pigs
and his place in the Georgia scheme
of things has been taken by thorough
bred hogs tipping the scales at from
350 to 500 pounds.
Mr. Pritchard declared that farm
ers of Georgia and neighboring states,
who have gone in for diversified crops
and for livestock, are the fellows who
have the money to-day. It is the "one
crop man,” he said, who is always
the borrower at the bank.
The Georgia man predicts that the
Southeast will be able before long to
supply New Yorkers not only with
hogs, but with beef at much below
the present prices. Georgia landown
ers, he said, are beginning to realize
the possibilities in this field. There
is an open season for grazing twelve
months in the year in Georgia, he said,
while the Western rancher has to feed
his herds at least six months out of
the twelve. The Georgia hog raiser has
found that* sweet potatoes, velvet
beans, peanuts and cotton seed make
ideal fattening foods, he said, and in
the coastal sectons of Ge:rg a crop
are unknown. Georgia, Mr.
Pritchard said, ranks second among
the hog-producing states.
Mr. Pritchard said former Judge
Alton H. Parker, Colemai du Pont
and the late Mrs. Potter-]'aimer were
pioneers in introducing purebred stock
in his section of the country.

MOSQUITOES ARE VERY~
DANGEROUS.
They Give You Malaria. But Williams’
No. 101 Tonic Takes It Away.
Billions of mosquitoes will come
this spring from the low, marshy
places which were watered by the tor
rential rains in March. Fifty years
ago these pesky “varmints” were
looked upon as a nuisance only. But
in recent years scientists have found
that they transmit malaria —and that
it is transmitted in nb other way.
Williams’ No. 101 Tonic is a recog
nized speciffic for treating malaria
and is being used extensively and suc
cessfully in the malarial sections. It
contains Quinine, which is deadly to
the malarial germ; also Iron, which
strengthens and invigorates the body,
and Magnesia, which keeps the bow
els regular and healthy. It is a good
general tonic and a bottle of it should
be in every home in a malarial dis
trict. Get a bottle from your drug
gist. Refuse to accept any substitute.
There is no other medicine like it.
“Nervous Breakdown!”
When your nerves fail your whole body suffers- headaches,
stomach disorders, sleepless nights, make you miserable indeed.
The experience of Mrs. H. G. Redman, of New Haven, Conn.,
is an example. Read what she says: A * 1 " -
“For months I suffered from extreme nervousness. My '
nerves were completely unstrung and I suffered dis-
tressing pains across stomach and chest. Doing light tSrl' J ■hj?'.?
housework left me completely fatigued, and loss of
sleep made nights long and tiresome. I began taking f
DR. MILES’ NERVINE and the first night slept ,/
soundly. I continued using the medicine and soon all / V • J
the unpleasant symptoms were gone.” fl
Thousands of sufferers from nervous dis- /
orders have found relief in DR. MILES’ aJSSSSbIK*/***
NERVINE. This wonderful nerve
soother is non-alcoholic and con- J
tains no harmful or habit-forming
drug. Your druggist can tell you -
of its merits and effectiveness, w '
