made for the actual holding of the

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.
All delinquent tax payers in the
City of Vidalia are hereby given final
notice that if city taxes are not paid
by June Ist levy will be made on
that date. You will save costs by
paying taxes before that time.
J. H. DUGGAN, City Clerk.
The high cost of living followed by
the depression that now exists, with
the South's money crop a drug on the
market at one third the cost of pro
duction is likely to cause people to
do without proper food and clothing.
This in turn will lower the resistance
power of the individual to disease.
Public health is purchasable and
money should not be considered when
it is used for the prevention of
disease.
Parents should see to it that when
their baby is born it has the nitrate
of silver put in its eyes immediately
to prevent blindness, and the next
thing is to see to it that its birth is
legally registered.
There should be a strictly followed
rule in our state about vaccination.
No child should be permitted to enter
school without a successful vaccina
tion against small pox.
HAVE THEIR TIME TO FALL
Nature Haa Made Provision for the
Parting of the Leaves From
the Parent Tree.
One of the most beautiful processes
in nature is the fall of the leaf. This
Is not, as is commonly supposed,
brought about by the inclement weath
er of the autumn, says a well-known
authority. For the underlying cause
one must look deeper.
Soon after the leaf appeared in the
spring preparations were being made
for its fall. Across the base of the
stalk there grew inward a partition
of special cells, known to bontanists
as the "layer of separation.” As the
season advances these cells become
modified and weakened so that a
springy cushion is formed. Eventual
ly the mere weight of the leaf may
be sufficient to bring about the sever
ance of the organ which the tree no
longer requires.
Before the leaf actually falls it
surrenders all that It possesses In the
way of sugar and more complex stuffs.
This passes back Into the tree to be
stored away in the stems.
The Two Frogs.
Tough going, isn’t it Almost
tempted to give way to despair, per
haps. The prospect of winning out
looks pretty hopeless? Maybe it wTll
revive your faith and fortitude a
teeny-weeny bit if you recall the story
of the two frogs that fell into the can
of milk. Try as they would, you may
remember, the frogs could not leap
out of the can, but fell back into the
milk each time they jumped. Finally,
one frog whined: "What’s the use of
trying, we can never get out.” So he
curled up and was drowned. But the
other frog, possessed of more determi
nation and perseverence, kept on
struggling and struggling until lo! the
milk began to be churned into butter,
and then it was easy for him to get
out of the difficulty.
Keep on struggling!—Forbes Maga
zine.

You Do More Work,
You are more ambitious and you get more
enjoyment out of everything when your
blood is in good condition. Impurities in
the blood have a very depressing effect on
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.
GROVE’S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
restores Energy and Vitality by Purifying
and Enriching the Blood. When you feel
its strengthening, invigorating effect, see
how it brings co.'or to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.
GROVE’S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
is not a patent medicine, it is simply
IRON and QUININE suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The
blood needs Quinine to Purify it and IRON
to Enrich it. These reliable tonic prop
erties never fail to drive out impurities in
the blood.
The Strength-Creating Power of GROVE’S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC has made it
the favorite tonic in thousands of homes.
More than thirty-five years ago, folks
would ride a long distance to get GROVE’S
TASTELESS Chili TONIC when a
member of their family had Malaria or
needed a body-building, strength-giving
tonic. vThe formula is just the same to
day, and you can get it fiom any drug
store. 60c per bottle. ~

Your Neighbor’s Purse I
Your neighbor lost his pocket-book, but that
did not worry him any because he makes it a rule ’ t
to carry very little cash at any time.
He uses the checking system.
While his money remains safely in the bank he
uses his check book and finds it more convenient
and businesslike, too.
This man always has ; the “corect change” and
every check he writes is marked PAID and return
ed to him, which is an everlasting proof that pay
ment has been properly made.
He will never pay an account twice. Every
man is judged according to his business methods.
Those who are businesslike will be given credit far
in advance of those who use poor methods.
It pays to be up-to-date on this point.
