The FULLER Friction Shower Bath Brush is the brush for
health, an invigorating shower, a shampoo, a dry massage, re
freshing body and spirit. With this brush you can get a real
scientific bath. The gentle spraying stream of fresh water, at the
temperature you desire, CLEANS and refreshes while the bristles
STIMULATE the circulation. BEAUTY specialists recommend
BATHING instead of cosmetics for the complexion, as this will
reflect what the body gets, thus removing blackheads and ‘keep
ing away wrinkles. The brush gets into the pores of the skin,
instead of sliding over them as does a wash cloth, If the pores
are not kept open they cannot breathe. For a cold shower in the
morning it is an EYE-OPENER. It is a family brush and is
highly recommended by doctors, who have used them. It is very
beneficial for sleeplessness, nervousness and headaches, and will
climinate! COLDS and DOCTORS’ BILLS. In its whiteness and
refining appearance it is an addition to any bath room. The FUL
LER Shower Bath Brush, being an INEXPENSIVE luxury,
brings a shower within the reach of everyone for about one-sixth
the cost of an over-head shower which has no brush. With the
FULLER shower the ladies need not wear rubber caps. There
is no hard back to come in contact with the body or to collect
germs and dirt, as is the case with the wooden backs, which lose
their bristles from rot. This brush is ABSOLUTELY GUAR
ANTEED, but is only ONE out of a variety of FORTY-NINE.

DAWSON PE{A’RMACY
“On The Corner
STACK PAINTER MEETSi
WAS PAINTING STACK AT THE
LIGHTING PLANT WHEN HE
LOST BALANCE AND FELL.
Mr. Joe Wheeler Davis, who came
to Dawson recently from his home
near Blakely, was instantly killed
about 9 o’clock Saturday morning by
}coming in contact with a live wire
while engaged in painting the smoke
stack at the electric light plant.
' Thére were no witnesses to- the
tragic occurrence, but the theory is
advanced that the young man in at
tempting to throw a rope and fasten
it to the stack above where he was
standing lost his balance and fell
‘against the wire, the voltage being so
‘heavy that he was thrown to the roof,
where he was found, to all appear
ances dead, ‘when a helper bringing up
material reached the top of the build
ing. Dr. S. P. Kenyon was called im
|mediately and worked heroically to
restore the unfortunate man, using
artificial respiration for fifteen minutes
without results. Theé body was .taken
to the undertaking parlors of Mr. E,
T. Beasley and prepared for burial
Mr. Beasley found a deep burn on
ithe left wrist, but no other part of the
ibody showed the slightest injury from
the current. An experienced electrician,
who viewed the remains, stated that
this was due to’he fact that the young
man was standing on -a metal roof,
which was heavily grounded, the elec
tricity passing through the body into
fthe earthr & 2 20 . e
Relatives who had becn reached by
wire immediately following the acci
dent, were in Dawson in a few hours.
A brother and two cousins of the de
ceased making the quick trip. They
brought the hearse and an undertaker
from, Blakely. The officials at the light
plant and the citizens generally show
ed every .courtesy to the bereaved
strangers here on such a sad mission.
They left about seven o’clock Saturday
afternoon with the body for the return
overland trip to Blakely. The funeral
took place Sunday at Flat Rock creek,
in Miller county. The young man was
in his twenty-second year and-unmar
ried. His untimely and tragic deaath
cast a gloom over the city, and many
were the expressions of sympathy for
the bereaved family. The Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union and indi
viduals placed Dawson flowers on the
casket.

SEVERAL OF THE BEST GAMES
OF SEASON ARE SEEN ARL
INGTON A VICTIM.
The Dawson ball club begun the
past week by taking the first game
from Arlington here on Monday by a
score of 3 to 1. Lanier .twirled master
ful ball for the locals, keeping the vis
itors’ hits scattered and was invinci
ble in the pinches. Luther Bloodworth,
formerly of Mercer university, work
ed for the visitors, and he also pitched
a good brand of ball. Both mounds
men allowed eight hits each and La
nier retired seven of the Arlington
lads, while only three of the locals
were victims of Bloodworth by this
‘method. The home club had only one
error registered against them, while
the Arlington boys had several costly
ones charged against them. Batteries—-
Dawson: Lanier and Palmacino; Arl
ington: Bloodworth and Clements.
Umpires: Worrill and Perry.
The second game of the week, play
ed on Tuesday at Baldwin park, was
also a victory for the home club, who
defeated the Colquitt aggregation in a
slow and uninteresting game by a
score of 12 to 2. Jenkins performed
mound work for Dawson with Palma
cino receiving, while Stapleton worked
for the Colquitt club with Galloway
catching. The game was featureless
with the exception of the heavy hit
ting on the part of the locals and a
| sensational catch of a foul ball by Pal
| macino.
Umpire Plays Well.
Dawson visited Arlington on Wed
nesday and lost there by a score of 3 to
2 in favor of the umpire, his decisions,
it is alleged, being unfair in many
stages of the game, which promised to
be a good one. The game was hotly
contested, the Arlington club winning
in the ninth when Thrasher fouled to
deep right, and took a circuit trip
‘which was called fair. From all reports
the Calhoun fans were determined to
have the game, and prepared to take
it at any cost, the bad decisions, it is
charged, being used in the final frame.
Moedy allowed only seven hits and
caused seventeen men to whiff the
ozone, while Holland gave up five hits
and struck out thirteen men. Moody
had the edge on his opponent, but
fought in vain the unfair decisions.
Hafele and Pinkston featured in the
field for the Dawsonians, while Clem
ents was the hitting star for the Arl
ington, club. The game stood a tie un
til the “fluke” homer in the last inning
by Thrasher for the Cathoun aggrega
tion. Batteries—Dawson: Moody and
Palmacino; Arlington: Holland and
Clements. Umpire: Bostwick.
Dawson defeated the Clio (Ala.)
club here on Thursday in an excellent
game, of ball by a score of 1 to 0, this
being considered one of the very best
games of ball played here this season.
Dawson’s lone score was registered in
the ninth, the game being scoreless un
til this stage of the battle. Harris for
Dawson allowed but two hits and
struck out ten men, while McCrea for
the visitors also pitched excellent ball.
Jackson for the visitors made a sensa
tional shoe-string catch off Hammack’s
willow in the fourth frame, while Ha
fele featured for the locals in the ninth
with a scnsational catch off Flowers’
bat that halted the rally of the Alaba
mians. Batteries—Dawson: Harris and
E. Pinkston; Clio: McCrea and Ma
honey. Umpire: Whitaker.
Fine Game With Eufaula.
The locals lost to Eufaula here at
Baldwin park on Friday in a hard
fought battle, a ten-inning affair, by a
score of 2 to 1. Dan Hammack for
Dawson allowed but two hits in nine
frames and retired ten men by the
strike-out route.
Morris for the Alabamians was also
in excellent form, fanning eleven men
but allowing six hits. “Bevo” Webb,
formerly of Georgia Tech, was the bat
ting star for the locals, securing two
hits out of three times up and scoring
one of the runs. Hammack should have
‘had a shut-out placed to. his credit. An
‘error on the: locals’ infield on a ground
ball in the fourth inning let in the
visitors’ lone; run after the Dawsonians
had registered their only tally in the
second. Harris and Hafele featured
for the locals, while Knight was the
fielding star for the Eufaula club.
Evans was the hitting star for the vis
itors, taking two safeties, one of which
broke up the battle, Batteries—Daw
son: Hammack and E. Pinkston; Eu
faula: Morris and Kimball. Umpires:
Worrill and Perry.
