HUNT FOR SECRET OF LIFE
I Dream of Every Scientist, Although
Always Regarded as a Widely
Improbable Thing.
A hunt more exciting than any man
hunt is going on at present in the
laboratories of some of the meat ad
venturous of biological chemists —a
hunt for the secret of life.
It Is now seriously hoped by some
of the more advanced scientists that
the secret of the causation of life may
he discovered—that it may be possible
to find the formula which will open
the door of the creation of new liv
ing things.
Some years ago a scientist described
to the British association experiments
which he believed tended to prove
that new life had been created In a
test-tube, but critics proved that there
was some ilnw in the proceedings—
that the spark of life had crept In un
observed and had not been created.
Efforts are now being made to ar
rive at the point of discovery" along
the road of chemistry—to discover the
exact combination of oxygen, nitrogen,
and so forth, that goes to make up the
term of life.
One scientist Is already said to have
made “synthetic eggs”—that Is, to
have compounded substances which
had the taste of eggs, and It la claimed
that real hens’ eggs In an Infertile
state— Incapable of developing Into
chickens—will. If treated with lithium
chloride, manifest the signs of life and
undergo developments for a few days.
These Infertile eggs, fertilized with
Uthlum chloride, have not yet pro
duced chickens—after a few days the
development stops —but hope Is not
abandoned that the secret of Intro-
ducing effective life Into an Infertile
egg hy chemical means may be found.
The starting of life In frogs' eggs has
also been contrived, merely by prick
ing holes In them, but here also the
process stops after a few hours.
The Idea of being able to create
Ufe Is so “colossal’’ that some scien
tists and most thinking people smile at
It, and regard It ns wildly improbable.

HOUSEWORK IS A BURDEN
Woman’s lot is a weary one at
best. But with backache and other
distressing kidney ills life indeed be
comes a burden. Doan's Kidney
Pills have made life brighter for
many Barnesville women. Ask your
neighbor!
Mrs. Eddie Haywood, 310 Railroad
St., Barnesville, says: “I suffered
for several years with attacks of kid
ney trouble. Pains often stabbed
through my back and crippled me so
I couldn’t do my housework. There
was a heavy, dull ache across my
kidneys which dragged me down. I
was weak and I could hardly stand.
Dizzy spells canae on and black specks
passed before my eyes. Sharp pains
through my head added to my
trouble and my kidneys a*ited too
freely. Doan’s Kidney Pills gave me
immediate relief. I occasionally use
them and in this way keep myself
free from the pains and other kidney
ailments.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get

Providing $450,000 to
Finance a Hotel
WE HAVE UNDERWRITTEN AN ISSUE OF $450,000.00 MILLER FIRST MORTGAGE
BONDS TO PROVIDE FUNDS FOR THE ERECTION OF THE
RICHMOND HOTEL BUILDING
AUGUSTA, GA.
t■ \ 1
This structure will replace the famous old Albion Hotel, and will stand on precisely the same loca
tion, on one of the busiest blocks on Broad Street, Augusta’s main thoroughfare. The Richmond Hotel
will be eight stories in height and will contain 200 guest rooms, each with private bath and every con
venience. Fireproof construction will be used throughout. In addition to guest roonis, there will be
12 stores, a coffee shop, an arcade and an attractive lobby on the main floor.
We estimate that the annual net earnings of this structure will be $64,750, which is more than twice
the amount of interest due in any one year, the bonds bearing interest coupons at 7 per cent, but being
sold at prices which yield S per cent net on the investment..
The $450,000 bonds which we have underwritten are secured by a first mortgage on the structure,
worth $748,750, and by a first claim on the earnings. The bonds may be had in denominations of SIOO,
SSOO and SI,OOO, and in maturities ranging from 2 to 15 years.

Guard Against Foreat Fire.
A fire that would be the biggest
ever known on earth would result,
government officials believe, if a great
mass of fallen timber in the state of
Washington shouljl be set ablaze. The
trees were blown down by a 150-mile
gale that swept the forest last Janu
ary. They cover an area 90 miles long
and from 20 to 30 miles wide. There
are more than 0,750,000,000 feet of
timber in the mass. To guard against
the fire danger, the federal government
and the state of Washington have ap
propriated ?100,000 each. The forest
sendee and the state are taking all
kinds of fire preventive measures, in
cluding patrol by airplanes.

James is a little six-year-old Los
Angeles boy, who has fallen in love,
as far as he knows how, %vith a little
girl of the same age. Recently he
gravely told his mother that he was go
ing to get a Job and marry Helen. His
mother suggested that he would find
the burdens of matrimony too heavy
for him, and added that in course of
time a family might appear, to in
crease the household expenses.. ‘‘Oh,
no,” replied the youngster, “the first
time Helen lays an egg I will smash
It, like that,” and he stamped his little
foot on the ground.
