RED CROSS JOINS
MALARIAFSGHT
Accedes To Request Os
Georgia State Board
Os Health
ATLANTA, April 6.—At the re
quest of the Georgia State Board of
Health, the American Red Cross will
join with the board in an active
campaign to stamp out malaria in
South Georgia.
This was announced today at head
quarters of the southern division of
the Red Cross, in a letter to all Red
Cross chapters in the southern part
of the state, informing them that
each chapter will be counted on to
carry on the fight against malaria
in its own community.
“Malaria has long been one of the
most prevalent and harmful diseases
in the United States, particularly in
the south and in rural sections,”
says the letter in part. “While
deaths from malaria are not so nu
merous, the loss of energy, strength
and time caused by the disease costs
Georgia more than two million dol
lars annually. The south, in most
respects a veritable empire of pros
perity, has always been one of the
chief sufferers from maliaria. While
her people have recognized this fact
and the state’s health authorities
have long been aware of it, there
has been no concerted effort here
tofore to fight malaria simply be
cause there was not available any
concerted medium for making the
fight. Now the state board of health
realizing the power for good of the
Red Cross, has come to us with the
request that the Red Cross under
take the task of helping to stamp out
the disease, and the Red Cross, be
lieving it could do no more finer ser
vice for the people of Georgia than
this and feeling that it is a matter
very close to the heart of each of
its chapters, in turn is going to the
chapters to ask that they give their
most earnest co-operation to the
plan.’’

Pastor Urges Hearers To
“Roll Up Barb
Wire”
The series of revival services,
which began formally at the First
Methodist church Sunday r'ght are
showing already a fine spirt of co
operation among the members.
Rev. Guyton Fisher, who is doing
the preaching, seemed to hit the nail
on the head at the first service when
he made an earnest talk on “Rollin:
Up the Barb Wire.” Il • said that
there was much barb wire lying
around loose at both end; in nation,
church and community, which cugh,
to be rolled up. The entanglement
which impeded any progress in any
direction, whether it was a revival
spirit or community spirt, were d<
structive criticism, suspicion, selfi 1;
ness, ill-will, standing hatred, etc. Mr
Fisher plead that the community, a
well as the church, might roll up
these cruel, progress-killing entangle
ments; and when the opportunity of
fered practically all the large con
gregation came forward and gave the
preacher their hand, thereby saying
they were going to help roll up the
barb wire.
Last night a large audience, con
sidering the cold weather, heard the
pat Ur Lal.. c.: the

a proposition for a warmer and more
virile Christian experience,
A pleasing duet was rendered by
the Misses Horne. Tonight a choru
choir of young people will add va
riety to the occasion.
The services will continue till fur

7 :30. The public is cordially invited
and friends out of town are urged to
come in for worship.

HOW TO STOP
A HEADACHE
Aspironal Relieves Pain In Two
Minutes. Prevent Return By
Removing Cause. Absolutely
Safe.
Doctors and druggists are delight
ed with the ntew Aspironal Elixir
which relieves the pain of headache
in two minutes and also removes the
cause by gently acting on the liver,
ov'ercoming biliousness and constipa
tion and thereby preventing the re
turn of the headache next day. Doc
tors especially recommend Aspironal
for the reason that it is not danger
ous to the heart and does not upset
the stomach.
The next time you have a headache
go to your nearest drug store, hand
the clerk half a dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve
you two teaspoonfuls in a little wa
ter. With your watch in your han;!
count off two minutes and call for
your money back, as per manufactur
er’s guarantee, if you can’t feel your
headache fading away within the
time limit. Your druggist invites and
expects you to try Aspironal so don't
be bashful. Everybody is doing it.
Same guarantee applies to colds,
coughs and neuralgia.
' account of its Republican voting
: strength is allowed two.
On the eve of the state conven
tion it appears Georgia will send a
1 solid delegation to Chicago with sev
enteen votes instructed for General
Leonard Wood for the presidential
nomination. The district delegates
have already been instructed for
him. The representatives in the state
gathering coming from the same
■ source as the district delegates, it is
safe to asjume the sentiment for
Wood is strong enough to insure the
four delegates from the state-at-large
for him also.

MS OF SALK
ClEAJffi KIDNEYS
If your Back u aching or Bladta
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat
When your kidneys hurt and your bask
feels sore, don’t get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body’s urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
mal activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
• Drink lots of water—you can’t drink
too much: also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; taka
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to drain and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a source of irri
t"*ion, thus ending bladder weakness.
.tad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what liecatne of
your kidney trouble and backache.
