THREE COUNTIES ORGANIZE
P. O. WELFARE COUNCIL
On Wednesday of last week tne
postal employees of the counties of
Toombs .Treutlen and Montgomery
1 met at Lyons upon invitation ot the
1 Lyons postmaster and organized a lo
; cal welfare council. The purpose of
the organization is to promote effi
ciency and harmonious co-operation
1 between postmasters, rural letter car
! riers and the postoffice department;
also a closer co-operation and ’under
standing between the public and said
employees, and last but not least, a
better service to all.
All postal employees in the three
counties are eligible for membership,
and a large majority of them were
: present when the organization was
founded last Wednesday, and much
interest was expressed.
The following officers were elected
and committees appointed:
Chairman, C. C. Mosley, postmaster
at Lyons; Vice-Chairman, G. B. Mc-
Intyre, postmaster at Ailey; Secretary,
B. H. McLarty, postmaster at Soper
ton; Three Representatives, Rural Let
ter Carriers M. L. Stephens, Ailey,
C. H- Jones, Soperton, John B. Todd,
Vidalia, and one City Carrier, John
W. Vann, Vidalia. Committee on con
stitution was composed of Postmaster
Julius Peacock of Vidalia, M. L. Ste
phens, Ailey, and L. M. Williams,
Soperton.
The principal business of the meet
ing was the organization. A resolu
tion was adopted urging all postal em
ployees not present to attend in the
future, and also inviting Postoffice
Inspector Ellis to address the next
meeting, which will be held in Vidalia
on September 20th.
A rising vote of thanks was given
the postal employees of Lyons for
their hospitality, and adjournment was
voted until September.
After the business session the Lyons
postal employees were hosts at a re
ception tendered the visiting employ
ees. All this made the visitors feel
; that some one was correct when they
said “All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy.”
COMMUNICATED.
SUMMER COMPLAINT.
The state board! of health is sending
out the following circular letter, and
: we consider it well worth while the
attention of mothers and fathers of
small children:
Last year 7,554 babies died during
their first year; a large number of
’ these children died of gastro-intestinal
: conditions. Gastro-intestinal condi
■ tions are usually called “stomach up
sets” or “summer complaint,” generally
meaning that the baby has diarrhoea
or dysentery. The baby may die of
this or his strength may be so under
mined that he will die later from
even the mildest attack of whooping
cough, measles, etc. Mothers fre
quently think that all babies must
have summer complaint, that a baby
is hardly normal if he does not have
at least one attack during the summer.
Summer complaint is not a normal
condition —it should not be lightly set
aside. It may result in a severe ill
ness, and very frequently, as thous
ands of death certificates show every
year, it may prove fatal •
If the baby becomes nauseous, or
vomits, gets feverish and has diar
rhoea, do not think he is teething, nor
that his condition may be neglected.
A baby with diarrhoea, especially di
arrhoea accompanied by nausea, vom
iting and fever, is a sick baoy and
needs the doctor. Stop all food for
twenty-four hours, or even longer, and
gsve him in place of food water that
has been boiled and cooled, a little
at a time but very often. If you
can get it, give the baby crushed ice
in small amounts by mouth. A twen
ty minute tub bath, with gentle rub
bing, given one Or more times a day,
will be very comforting and will prob
ably save the baby from having con
vulsions. Put an ice cap, iced cloths,
wrung out in cold water on his head,
and if his feet are cold, put a hot wa
ter bottle or hot cloths to his feet.
Remember hat it is much more im
portant for you to take care of your
Tittle sick baby than it is to take care
of a sick cow or mule. The baby is
worth a great deal more than your
farm animals; it takes a great deal
more intelligence and care to keep him
in good condition. Anything that will
help you in the job of raising a strong
and healthy child should be worth
more to you than anything that helps
you with your farm, your roads or
anything else in the world.

LEGISLATURE SAID TO
FAVOR SOME BONDS
The conference of the highway com
mittees of the Georgia senate and
representatives, when they heard ar
guments by representatives of the
Georgia Good Roads Association in
favor of a bond issue, has been follow
ed by the generally expressed opinion
of the legislators that a bond issue
of some size will certainly be voted
by the general assembly and laid be
fore the voters at the November elec
tion. Just what amount will be de
cided upon is still in doubt, but it is
agreed that any amount which will
enable the state to match the federal
fund and give Georgia a real start in
state highway building will be a long
step forward.
“We feel convinced that once the
people of Georgia begin to get sam
ples of real roads in their counties,
they will not be satisfied until other
good roads are built,” said one of the
bond advocates. “‘And when the first
bond issue proves that it will pay for
itself without additional taxation, oth
ers will follow.”
When the bond issue amendments
are adopted, the Georgia Good Roads
Association will carry a campaign of
education throughout the state to
prove to the voters that permanent
roads will be built by bonds without
additional cost to tax payers, the gaso
line taxes and motor license fees meet
ing the bills. The association expects
the expenses of the campaign to be
shared by the thousands of men and
women who have the good roads
cause at heart and invite all such per
sons to join the association and add
their five dollars annual membership
fee to the campaign fund. Member
ship applications with checks may be
sent to William E. Keith, secretary,
205 Walton building, Atlanta- A large
and representation- *- ’ :
not only provide a sufficient fund, but
add a tremendous influence in favor
of the passage of the bond amend
ments in the November election.
KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
HEALTH IS WORTH SAVING AND
SOME VIDALIA PEOPLE KNOW
HOW TO SAVE IT.
Many Vidalia people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
neys, when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys arc respon
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and ill health —the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills
—-a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is a Vi
dalia citizen’s recommendation :
Mrs. J. B. Palmer, 204 First avenue,
says: “A short time ago my kidneys
were slightly out of order. I had
pains in the small of my back contin
ually and it was hard for me to bend
over. I heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills
and after I had taken a few they
fixed me up in fine shape again- I
highly recommend this remedy.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy — get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Palmer had. Foster-Milburn
