fiT BAD WAY PHYSICALLY
Physician’s Verdict Made Recruit Won
der if Any Disease Had Got
Away From Him.
The curiosity of Henry James, whq
applied for enlistment in the United
States Marine corps at Los Angeles,
remains unsatisfied.
James was taken before Dr. G. J,
Hildebrand, the examining physician,
and, after the usual physical examina
tion, was told that he failed to meet
the requirements.
“What’s the matter with me?” quer
ied the prospective Hun destroyer.
“You’ve got scoliosis, phthisis and
synoirtis,” was the surgeon’s reply.
The would-be marine blushed to be
told so frankly what prevented his be
f
coming a devil dog, and turned to ga
out, when the doctor shot a few hot
parting words after him.
“Not only that —you’re troubled with
slight astigmatism, otitis media and
chronic furmunculosis.”
“Gosh,” was all the lad could say a*
he fled in confusion.
Sarcasm.
“It is very hot today.”
“I’m so glad you told me. Save?
me the trouble of going to look at the
thermometer.”

Newsy Paragraphs
Of State Interest
Columbus. —The striking operatives
of the Swift Spinning mills returned
io work following the general agree
ment reached between mill‘employees
and managers. The Swift Spinning
mills was the only textile establish
ment in which a strike occurred.
Macon.—The indications are that
plans for the enlargement and con
version of Camp Wheeler into a regu
lar cantonment will be announced
soon. An intimation of this was giv
en recently when a committee from
the Macon chamber of commerce re
turned from Washington, where they
conferred with government officials as
to the future of Camp Wheeler.
Metter.—The farmers of Candler
county met here and organized a
branch office of the federal reserve
loan hank of Atlanta. George L. Wil
liams, cashier of the Citizens’ bank
of Metter, was elected secretary of
the matters pertaining to the secur
ing of United States funds for the
farmers. Several thousand dollars
was applied for for loans from the
government.
Americus.—L. G. Council, receiver
of the Bank of Southwest Georgia,
which failed here two years ago, will
shortly distribute a dividend of twelve
and a half per cent to depositors and
creditors of the defunct institution.
The dividend is made possible by rea
son of a decree just entered by Judge
Z. A. Littlejohn in Sumpter superior
court, and will make a total of forty
two and a half per cent paid to the
creditors by the receiver.
Atlanta.—Labor Day will be cele
brated in Atlanta Monday, September
2. This was definitely decided at a
meeting of the labor organizations and
committees have been appointed to ar
range the various details. The parade
will be formed in five divisions, the
first of which will be composed of the
building trades; the second, railroad
organizations; the third, printing
trades; the fourth, miscellaneous
trades; the fifth, the metal trades.
Atlanta. —City council has adopted
the report of the appoint
ed to take action with reference to
requested increases in electric light
and power, gas and street railway
rates in Atlanta, which recommended
that prior to September 1 legal pro
ceedings should be taken to prevent
-increases in gas, light and power
(rates, and that in the event that the
Georgia Railway and Power company
■should undertake legal proceedings to
compel the railroad commission of
Georgia to assume jurisdiction over
street railway fares ih Atlanta, the
city’s interests will be protected.
Atlanta.—The state executive com
mittee of the volunteer medical re
serve corps of the national council
of defense'met here to work out plans
for the enrollment of every doctor in
the state of Georgia before the first
of September or the volunteer work in
the United States army. The work of
the national council of defense is en
tirely separate from the United States
army or navy work, and since so
many physicians will be reached by
the new draft law, it is necessary to
get them to enlist in this work of
the national council of defense before
they are drafted.
Atlanta. —That the 326th infantry
regiment, part of the eighty-second di
vision trained at Camp Gordon, and
including a number of Atlanta and

on the part of Gordon’s old boys, is
news that has been received here. The
crack infantry regiment, in its victori
ous charge into the German lines, lost
a total of seventeen men killed and
wounded, while at least four times that
many dead Huns were left lying on the
ground after the 326th had passed on.

constructing quartermaster for Camp
Gordon, has received authority to in
crease the size of this camp to accom
modate 6,000 more men, and the ac
tual work on the enlargement of the

$2,000,000 and that between two thou
sand and three thousand men will be
employed. About two hundred, addi
tional barracks buildings are to be
erected, and the job is to be completed
in four months. This i 3 the increase
that has been expected for some time
at Camp Gordon. The announcement
from the office of the constructing
quartermaster mpans that the reser
vation will again be bristling with
construction activity and that the ci-*
vilian population of the camp will be
substantially increased until the work
is finished. The new barracks build
ings which are to be erected will be
for the officers’ training school and
will be made of the same material
used for the other camp buildings.
The enlargement of the camp is to
take in a large section of land near
;he officers’ school area..

LOOK, MOTHER! IS TONGUE
COATED, BREATH FEVERISH

‘CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS'*
SAN'T HARM TENDER STOM
ACH, LIVER, BOWELS.
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gees sluggish, stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children’s ail
ment, give a teaspoonful of “Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs,” then don’t
worry, because it is perfectly harm
less, and in a few hours all this con
stipation poison, sour bile and fer
menting waste will gently move out of
the bowels, and you have a well, play
ful child again. A thorough “Inside
cleansing” is oftimes ell that is neces
sary. It should be the first treatment
given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of “Cal
ifornia Syrup of Figs,” which has
full directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that it is made by the “Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company.”—Adv.
HADLEY WILLING TO FORGET
Subject of Dislocated Jaws Seldom
Seletced for Conversation by
Head of Yale University.
Arthur Hadley, president of Yale
university, is an honored authority on
many subjects, but he declines to in
clude among them dislocated jaws.
Thereby hangs this tale.
The educator was sharing his state
room on a Fall Giver boat with a pleas
ant gentleman who had otherwise slept
on a cot in the open cabin, when, well
along toward morning, he heard, com
ing from the upper berth, sounds of
gagging and gargling and moaning.
Jumping up and switching on the light
he saw his acquaintance was suffering
greatly. His chin was on his breast,
his mouth rigidly open, his eyes tight
closed and perspiration on his fore
head.
“Be calm, sir,” cried Mr. Hadley. “1
know just what to do.”
Wrapping a towel around his thumbs
to save them from the release, he clam
bered up beside the man, knelt by his
shoulders, began to work the jaw into
its place—and then spent the rest of
the night trying to explain himself!
For it was only a case of nightmare.

Just Once! Try Dodson’s Liver Tone!
Take No Calomel! Listen To Me!
If bilious, constipated, headachy or sick, I guarantee
relief without taking dangerous eaiomel
which sickens and salivates.
Stop using calomel! It makes you
sick. Don’t lose n day’s work. If you
feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti

Calontcl is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it conies into contact
with sour bfle, crashes into it, break
ing it up. This is when you feel that
awful nausea ami cramping. If you
are “all knocked out,” if your liveris
torpid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated ton
gue, if breath is bad or stomach sour,
just try a spoonful of harmless Dod
son’s Liver Tone.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any

Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a

Could Not Obey Doctor.
An anaemic young married man
went to the doctor last week. The
doctor made an examination and said:
“You do not eat enough. Go home and
eat as heartily ns you can In order to
build yourself up.”
The young man went home and told
his wife what the doctor had said.
“Well,” said she, “I guess you are
not going to obey the doctor’s orders
unless you get a big jump in your
salary or the price of eatables takes a
big slump. Maybe the doctor doesn't
have any trouble keeping up with the
