Reconstruction Work.
Editor Henry County Weekly:
I have been amazed to find
how little our people know about
the reconstruction that is neces
sary after a big war. Those who
have read history have overlooked
or failed to find some very impor
tant history about reconstruction
and the horrors of it. A fewi
weeks ago I was appointed chair
man of the Red Cross membership
of the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict. To my amazement we found
some of our very best people
absolutely indifferent to humani
tarian work now since, as they
said, “the war is oyer.’’ I actually
found some good people busying
themselves with trying to build
monuments to the dead even while
the air is filled with the groans of
the dying. Every government
hospiatl in the United States is a
scene of great agony among the
suffering soldiers who are hover
ing between life and death. And
yet our good men and our good
women do not hear the cries of
distress, but are complacently
busying themselves about erect
ing monuments to the dead. The
monuments to the dead will be all
right, they will express 4 noble
sentiment, but I would appeal in
heaven’s name not to get so occu
pied with the dead that we neglect
the dying.
The only person who is not
more concerned with the welfare
of the Red Cross this year than
he was last year or the year
before, is the person who is not
informed. He is the person who
has followed the false theory; he
is the person who does not know
the toll that diseases exact of
humanity after every great war.
If we allow the Red Cross to
suffer now for workers and for
funds we will be responsible for
forty times as many deaths and
for much greater agony than the
Germans caused in the world.
The White Plague is spreading
among mankind as never before
in the history of creation. There
are many cdus< s. 'The gas
poisons, the Hu, the modes of
living, the hardships, exposure,
etc. The want of food and medi
cine in some sections, the critical
times, the poverty produced by
the high cost of living, the impossi
bility to get the necessities for
health and comfort, are all con
tributing to the spread of the
White Plague and its forerunner,
the flu.
There is no agency that can so
successfully combat tuberculosis
as the Red Cross organization.
If we had had such an organiza
tion when smallpox was first intro
duced into the American nation
following one of our great wars of
the past, several hundred thou
sand poor wretches who have
gone into Eternity, isolated like so
main lepers, neglected and suffer
ing the tortures of the damned,
wouid not have lost their lives as
they did. In the present year
following the Armistice the pros
pects are that we will lose from
post-war epidemics more Ameri
cans than were killed by the Ger
mans throughout the war. Is it
possible that there is a human
being who can think on these
things and yet cling to his miser
able dollar? Is there a human
being who can think on these
A Good Cough Medicine for Children
Mrs. J. W. Phillips, Redon, Ga..
phoned to J. M. Floyd, the mer
chant there, for a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy and said
she had bought a bottle of it at his
store recently and that it was
doing her children so much good
that she wanted to keep up the
treatment. Yon will find nothing
better for conghs and colds in chil
dren or for yourself. It keeps the
congh loose, expectoration easy and
soon frees the system from cold.

things and not be anxious to get
into the work of the Red Cross ?
Is there one of us who is indiffer
ent to the success of the Red
Cross enterprise at this time it is
because we have not been think
ing; we have not been reading;
we are simply ignorant of the
facts in the case.
I was delighted to find that
there were people in your com
munity who could be aroused to
the importance of putting new life
into this great organization, and
that they are glad to do what they
can to save the soldiers that are
now hovering between life and
death in our hospitals and to save
the needy families of the soldiers
and to help suffering mankind
wherever it needs help.
If this interest is not aroused
throughout the nation we'wil
hear the death groans ot many
thousands who might have been
spared if we had not been so bliss
ful in our ignorance.

Chairman Sixth District.
Many a man who is sure he is
right is unable to go ahead.
Only a Cold.
Are you ill ? is often answered :
‘•Oh ! it’s only a cold,” as if a cold
was only a matter of little conse
quence, but people are beginning
to learn that a common cold is a
matter not to be trifled with, and
that some of the most serious dis
eases start with a cold. As soon
as the first indication of a cold
appears take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy Remember that the
sooner you get rid of your cold the
less the danger, and this remedy
will help yon throw it off. For

There Is Real Pleasure In Giving

you. Come in NOW to see us before the best has been picked over. You can

A FEW SUGGESTIONS
For Dad and Grand-Dad: How about a nice Waterman Fountain Pen or a Watch
Charm with or without his lodge emblem ?
Does Brother Smoke ? We have a most beautiful line of Cigarette Cases—Gold and
Sterling Silver or Gold inlaid. Also something new and exclusive in Silver Belt Buckles.
You haven’t seen anything like these yet. We will engrave his initials. Or how about
an Emblem Ring?
For Sister or Daughter: Silver and Gold Inlaid Card Cases. They are beatuies.
Dorines? Yes, lots of them. Stone Cameo Rings or Brooches. We’ll say they are
darlings. LaVallieres are so dainty you just can’t resist them.
Mother wants something in Cut Glass, Ivory Sets. We have them NOW. Or maybe
she would be proud of a real nice Thimble. They’re small, but oh, so pretty. But we’re
going to suggest the best —last. Here they are —
Gold and Silver Salad Forks, Iced Tea Sooons, Orange Sooons and the like. If
there ever was anything that mother would hug your neck foi, it is these. Wish we
could describe their beauty, but —well, come and see.
Now, if there is anything left out, we have it. There are so many beautiful things
here we could fill this newspaper telling about them.
