PAGE TWO VMM SPENDS MILLIONS YFJPL I Mrs. Brueggeman Is Chairman Os U. S. Employes’ Compen sation Commisison "NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—Three million dallars a year pass througu the hands of Mrs. Bessie Bruegge man. But don't jump at conclusions. She’s no spendthrift She is one o! the most level-headed and capable women in the country. It was for these qualities that tin late President Harding appointed her chairman of the United Stat ■ Employes' Compensation Commis sion. making her the first woman to head such an independent govern ment body. Her work concerns 600,000 fed eral employes and involves the in- 1 vestigation of every case of injury or death of an employe on duty and the awarding of compensation to hint or his survivors. “I worked two months on my firs, case,” she says, "and my first ad verse decision kept me luvake nights) for a week wondering if I might j have been mistaken. My cases are i never abstract to me. I get ire mendously interested personally in the women, and the children who! appeal for aid, and who so ob- - viously need help regardless of the i NOTICE!

CONCERT HEBE IS ENJOYED and hii band delighted , Americus music lovers Monday as- I ternoon in one of the finest prog- I rams ever presented in Atnericus. | From the moment when ousa stepped from behind the- wings be fore the footlights until he made his final bow, the audience voiced their appreciation for the great conductor and composer generous' applause. Had it been possible for Sousa to have made a discord, even this would have been applauded, for the crowd went to hear music- and music was ftrnished from the first note of the weird Indian medley until the triumphant note of his final encore sounded. Every number was perfect ana every musician was superb in the rendition of his .score. Sousa knows music as few composers can and into his conducting he puts his entire .musical heart and soul The cornet solo by John Dolan was exquisitely interpreted, the numerous»encorces calling him back to play again. The three portraits of the King’s Court pleased by the daintiness of “Her Ladyship, the Countess;” the superbness of “Her Grace, the Duchess,” and the regalness of ‘Her Majesty, the Queen” Miss Nora Fouchald was not only beautiful in face but sang with a sweetness of expression an 1 a trueness of the rarely heard out side of grand opera She respond ed gra'ciously to a number of en cores A new thrill was given in “The Victory Bail,” a fantasy dedicated to the memory of an American sol- I dier From the first low rumble of distant cannonading to the roll of the thunder of battle as it was brought to the trenches, until the last wail of “Taps” died into the distance, the marvelous panorama of war was. voiced in musical sounds George Carey was splendid with his performance on the xylophpne. and to repeated applause he played Humoresque,” using three soften ed mallets Miss Rachel Senior through her violin spoke the voice of the old masters in selections which were juperbly rendered and greatly ap preciated Sousa himself, looking not one flay older than when he delighted appreciative audiences 20 years ago, was generous in his encores, play ing each time his own compositions which have remained paramount favorites through the seasons in which he has conducted, and which will remain dear to the hearts of music lovers after the conductor nas laid aside his baton forever WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT ,ibf?women have kidney and bladder trouble and never sus pect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trou ble, or the result of kidney .or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. Pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness, are often times symptoms of kidney trouble. Don’t dflay starting treatment, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physi cian’s prescriptions, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. Get a medium or large size bot tle immediately from any drug store. However, if yon wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing hamton, N.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER CUT CANTALOUPE CROP IN LOWNDES j VALDOSTA, Februaiy j dications are that the cantaloupe acreage in -Lowndes county for 1924 will be much less than in pre vious years. Several of the larg est growers state their intention of slashing acreage, while some of the smaller growers will not plant at all this season. The almost total failure of the crop last year due to the wet weather and disease and the par tial failure in 1922 has caused growers to hold off on heavy plant ing. It is believed however, that the unusually cold winter will stamp out the disease to a large ex tent > SfflMGfflff 111 DEEP GLIM Jimmy Slattery Wins Decision Over Georgia Lad In Six- Round Bout At Buffalo BUFFALO, February 26.—A de cision given Jimmy Slattery, of Buffalo, over Young Stribling, of Georgia, in their six-round bout here last night caused gloom in the Stribling camp.

Eat ing too much rich food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They become overworked from the strain, get slug gish and fail to filter the waste ; and poisons from the blood. Tl»a we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep lessness and urinary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys, or jour back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, begin drinking a quart of water each day, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon ful in a glass of water before breakfast, and in a few days your kidnejis may act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush and stimulate the kidneys; also to help neutralize the acids in the system, so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby often avoiding serious kidney complica tions.. By all means have your physi cian examine your kidneys at least twice a year. Boy leaves home ’to see R.T.P.M. C.S.

GERMANY BO* BUYING mil FOR SPINNING $10,000,000 Credit Declared Established in This Country By Mills There ATLANTA, Feb. 26.—A mar ket for, Southern cotton that has been closed since the starting of the world war now is being re opened through the reviving ac tivity of the German textile mills in buying and making use of many thousands of bales of cotton from the Southern states, it was stated here today by Atlanta cotton men. This, it was claimed, will result in German spinners taking one hun dred million dollars’ worth of cot ton in the United States during the coming crop year, thus creating a demand for the South’s cotton in a field that has been closed for nearly ten years. Up to January 1, of this year, if was pointed out here, Germany had purchased 500.000 bales of cotton in America and represntatives o' the cotton spinning industry there have it is claimed established a $10,000,030 credit with American bankers. It is added that at least 200,000 bales in addition to the 509, 000 bales already recorded Bold, will be required by Germany during the new crop year. Germany as a nation is bankrupt iT.d million' of Germa’: jeople are in dire want, according to Atlanta bankers, but German financiers and captains of industry still are able to finance industry in that country, and really the rehabilitation of German business and industry, it was pointed out, is about the only thing that can give relief to the masses in-that country through af fording employment to them at something like living wages.
