i ON JOB EARLY
District Governor Heads
First of Kiwanis Par
ties Arriving
R. S. Wessels, of Atlanta, district
governor of the Kiwanis club, Inter
! national, accompanied by three other
' distinguished Atlanta Kiwanians, ar
! rived in Amerieus early this morning
jto be on hand for the festivities at
| the Windsor hotel this evening when
Governor Wessels will present the
charter to the local club. They were
the first of the large number of vis
iting Kiwanians to arrive, and they
spent the day in sight-seeing and
being otherwise entertained by the
local club officials. This morning,
among other things they inspected the
rural paving project on the Dixie
highway, and this afternoon were
guests of Major Churchill and the
other officers and men at Souther
Field where an aerial exhibition was
to be put on for their benefit.
In the Atlanta party besides Mr.
Wessels, known as ‘‘Governor Bob,”
who is southeastern manager for the
Pittsburg Plate Glass Co., were Frank
Reynolds, secretary of the Georgia
State Automobile association and
good roads booster, well known here;
George O. Barrett, head of the Bar
rett Roofing company, of Atlanta,
and B. Dixon Hall, president of the
Atlanta Business College. A number
of other Atlanta Kiwanians who had
planned to make the trip were pre
vented from doing so because of their
inability to take the night train back
to Atlanta tonight.
The Columbus Kiwanians, some 75
in number, are expected to arrive in
cars about 6 or 6:30 o’clock.
The festivities will begin in the
dining room of the Windsor at
9 o’clock.
Tap on Track Delay
Central Passenger
An iron tap found upon the track
near Eufaula this morning delayed
the Central of Georgia train due
here from Montgomery at 2:07 this
afternoon 20 minutes. The time lost
was partly made up before the train
reached Amerieus, and Special Agent
Megahee left on the northbound
train to investigate the accident. It
was reported that the tap was placed
upon the track maliciously and with
intent to wreck the train. Only the
“pony” trucks of the engine were
derailed, due to the fact that the en
gineer say the obstruction and slowed
down somewhat before it was struck.
COUNCIL MEETS AT 5 P. M.
Tonight is the date for the regular
meeting of city council, but owing to
the Kiwanis charter night celebration
that body will meet at 5 o’clock this
afternoon instead. There is only rou

j CAUSE OF PAINFUL J
\ AND SLOW TEETH
ING BABIES |
Baby usually cuts its first teeth
soon after the fifth month, The time
varies in different families and may
be delayed by prolonged illness, but 1
slow or painful dentition is generally
caused by improper feeding, which j
produces indigestion, faulty elimina-}
tion and undernourishment. This
lack of nourishment causes slow for
mation of the teeth, and naturally
much pain when they come through,
as in later months baby’s gums are
harder.
If the baby is fretful, sleeps poor
ly, loses appetite and occasionally has j
a slight fever during teething time, j
indigestion is probably the cause, but!
care must be taken not to use strong, j
irritating drugs that cause inflamma-:
tion of the delicate membrane of ba
by’s stomach.
One of the best laxatives for teeth-,
ing babies is “Baby Ease,” a perfect- j
ed preparation by a baby specialist
that is easy-acting, non-irritating,
does not produce orter-action, or
leave baby constipated. “Baby Ease” j
is a safe, harmless and efficient laxa-!
tive and corrective. Use it and you
will see a wonderful improvement in !
your baby, if not, take him to a phy- I
sician. Ask your druggist for “Baby
Ease.”

averted yesterday on Lee street when
Glenn Hooks, driving in an auto at
a moderate speed, struck the pedal
of a bicycle ridden by a young white
boy, the wheel being overturned but
the boy escaping unhurt. The acci
dent was caused by a car standing
near the home of H. L. Hize, which
partially obfjjacted the driveway,
and also the fact that the boy was
riding very near the center of the
street. After stopping and finding
the boy had not been hurt Mr. Hooks
continued out Lee street. The boy
said he was afraid to give his name
as he didn’t want his parents to
know that he had been in an acci

j WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.
Says Inside-bathing makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.
ll |
Wasn yourself on the Inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb Impuri
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
j carried out of the body. If this waste
! material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
I glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal befor putting more food into
the stomach. ■»
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with a dull, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of fc. pro
nounced improvement in both health
