SECUREFLORIDA
FISHING LODGE
“Ameritus Lodge," is the designa
tion of a cottage into possession
of which W. M. Humber, Chas. H.
Burke and Frank Sheffield have come
*t Spring Creek, Fla., the purchase
of which becam< known to their
friends today following their return
Saturday night from Spring Creek.
The lodge is a commodious cottage,
consisting of four large rooms and
screened sleeping porch, besides a
very large veranda and a rear porch.
It is well furnished and to be screened
throughout, and occupies a good sized
lot, with garage, within one hundred
yards of the creek and a half mile of
the Gulf of Mexico. The cottage was
purchased last week from K. P. White
and several associates, of Cairo, Gal.
Possession already has been given.
“It is one of the prettiest places
one ever saw,” said Mr. Humber to
day, as he drew a sketch of the plat.
“The cottage is surrounded by im
mense live oaks, which completely
shade the house and the moss from
which hangs down onto the roof. In
fact, the moss had become so thick
on the roof that the dampness col
lected under it had caused parts of
the roof to rot away, and this had
to be repaired.
“The idea of buying the lodge
came about last spring when a party
of us took our wives on a fishing trip.
We had a shack there at that time,
but it was only a shack and it rain
ed and we couldn’t keep the ladies
dry. So we began to look around
and when the opportunity came to
buy this piece of property we took
it up.”
The party last week reports good
catches of game fish in the gulf.

Crusoe Overlooked a Bet.
That Robinson Crusoe, in spite ot
bls well known resourcefulness, over
looked a fine business opportunity is j
shown by the fact that the island ot j
his adventures. Mas-a-Tierra off th*
Juan Fernandez group off the coast of
Chile, is now the seat of a large lob
ster-canning industry. Crusoe seemed
to think he was doing remarkably well
to pick up the necessities of life on
that island—and most of them were
washed ashore from a wreck at that —
but its modern inhabitants do a rush
ing business in the export of luxuries.
Algerian Grain Regions.
Grain is produced In Algeria chiefly
in valleys interspersed among the
mountain ranges near the Mediter
ranean coast and on the high plateaus
lying between the coastal mountain
region and the less elevated ranges
which form the northern border of the
Sahara desert.

IDLERS IN THIS
j ASSEMBLY TO BE
SATDOWNUPON’
ATLANTA, June 23.—Day after
omorrow—Wednesday—the lawmak
ers of the state of Georgia will start
their annual grind at the state Capi
tol for sixty days, or rather fifty
working days, they will be as busy as
bees in the proverbial tar bucket.
They have a program before them of 1
more importance, perhaps, than they
have faced before in a quarter of a
century. It so happens that “big
stuff” has shaped itself as never be- ’
fore to merit their attention.
“We realize that the people of
Georgia are looking toward us to
pass legislation on matters of tran- I
cendent importance,” said a law
maker who dropped in town in ad
vance of his colleagues, “and, figura
tively speaking, we are already in
our shirt sleeves ready to go to
work. The men or set of men who
attempt to delay the game at the
present session is going to be “sat
upon,” good and hard. There are not
going to be any idlers in the present
house. It will be a working body, ;
true to its name.
“I have understood that the women
folks are going to surround us and \
hold us up until they get what they
want in voting privileges, and for one :
I am going to insist that the Susan i
Anthony amendment and whatever
else may be proposed be disposed of
at the earliest possible moment.
Frankly, I believe the body will re
ject this amendment, and the quicker
it is taken out of the way the better
it will be for the peace and good
order of our worthy assembly." And I
off he walked.
John N. Holder, former speaker of j
the house, and who will be reelected
without opposition, declares that he ‘
has served with some fine houses, but I
he does not believe there has been in •
all that time a better or more sub- j
stantial collection of representative j
citizens of the state sent to the Capi
tol than the house which will organize
this year. He gives it as his opinion j
that the work of the assembly will ;
make enviable history for Georgia.
Samuel L. Olive, of Augusta, will
be elected president of the senate to
succeed himself. And also, Dever
eaux F. McClatchey will be re-elected i

TAKE SALTS TO
RUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
Bladder troubles you—Salts is
due for Kidneys
Meat forms Uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat- 1
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz
ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment: the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body’s urmous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful imta. glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made’from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.
to succeed himself as secretary of the
upper house. “Me,” as he is familiarly
known, was reading clerk of the
house for sixteen years, gaining a na
tional reputation for his fog-horn
voice. He can read longer and louder
—apparently it rests him, instead of
wearying him—than any one man
' yet found in the United States. This
1 was proven at a meeting of the Na
tional Democratic Convention sev
eral years ago when his services were
, called into requisition by the national
chairman. Nobody disputes the fact
that Secretary McClatchey is a fixture
. in the legislative halls of the state
I as long as he wishes to remain.
Highway legislation, tax revision,
women’s suffrage bill, League of Na
. tions endorsement, new banking laws,
j budget system for making appropria
tions, provision for having local school
tax, increased powers for the rail
road commission and improvement of
I health laws and regulations are some
lof the important matters that will
I come before the legislature. The
body will be a new one, there being
hardly r more than sixty old members
who are familiar with “the ropes.”

When Linen Dies Young
The life of linen depends on its quality and strength.
Because of the easier methods of the laundry it is apt to
last longer if washed in the laundry.
Cheap linens sometimes contain ' filler. Thus, after the
first washing, they seldom look as well as when purchased.
Cheap linens do not last as long, in proportion to their cost,
as good linens; therefore cheap linens are not cheap.
Our experience prompts us to urge every housewife to buy
only the best fabrics of whatever kind.
Linen dies young when it is born weak.
All linens, even the best, have a limit of life and usefulness.
And they usually go quick when they go. One week they
are apparently whole; after the next washing, beyond
repair.
: hey have simply gone the limit and collapsed; which,
after all, is the best proof of their long service.
Laundries, like all other humanly conducted institutions,
are not perfect. They make their share of errors, and do
their share of imperfect work.
But in the light of the foregoing, to unquestionably - lace
the blame for all torn and worn out fabrics on the should
ers of your laundry is unjust; and no one, when in posses
sion of facts wants to be unjust.
Hiat is why we print facts, instead of fancies.
Perfection is an aim that is never realized. But that degree
°f perfection, which pride and care in ones work make pos
sible this laundry sustains.

so very much better.”
“My constipation is relieved and
my kidneys acting well, something
they have not done for a long time,
and that liver trouble I’ve had for a
long time is all gone. The swelling in
my right side and the soreness too
has all passed off and my back and
side are free from pain for the first
time in years, and I give all the credit
to Dreco.”
Mr. Williams says “My stomach is

whole lot better sirce I took Dreco
and my wife and I both think it is

Ever , where you go these days you
find some one praising Dreco, for the
great amount of good it has done in
cases of stomach trouble, sluggish
