OUR DEEP, DEEP SHAME.
Every day a more or less sizeable
body of women meet in a ground floor
office temporarily fitted for them in
the Demsev Hotel Building and wrk
with energy, persistence and enthusi
asm toward building up in Macon the
sort of Red Cross chapter the city
must have if it is to do its duty in
this war, if it expects its own boys
to be treated as they should be when
they leave here. A few men in the city
ere unselfishly giving their time to
help out and a great many more men
have given a little money and then
gone about their business. The conse
quence is we are far, far behind in
our Red Cross organization in Macon
and it has come time for some plain
speaking on subject.
It does seem sometimes that the
great American people will never
wake up to the fact that the sons of
their homes will soon be'dying in Eu
ropean trenches, that their legs, arms,
faces will be torn from their bodies
in the hell of shell fire, that they will
be crumpling before the hail of ma
chine gun bullets, that before long
the trains of wounded coming back
in awful procession from the front
will be filled with Americans * * *
r.ot with French and English, with
Belgians and Germans —but with
Americans, with boys from Georgia
and Kansas, from Maine and Califor
nia, from Indiana and Alabama, from
Macon and Fort Valley and Forsyth;
that they will be coming back to
American Red Cross hospitals.
These boys—our own flesh and
blood, the lads who have the right to
ask of us every sacrifice that might
make for them their work move effic
ient, their chance stronger for life,
for fuller recovery—foil see the day
if we—us-, right here in Macon—don’t
bestir ourselves when, groaning and
twisting and bleeding in front line hos
pitals, they will curse and damn the
lag-wavers and the speech-makers
md the cheerers and band-followers
it home, on whose lips were words of’
patriotism, in whose hearts was not
mough to induce them to pay even
he hospital bills of boys wfiio of
erefi their lives
This must not happen and yet it
vill happen if we do not undergo some
ort of spiritual awakening that will
>ring home to every one of us the
ieed of our getting these things ready
ong before the men are wounded and
rying for them. Anaesthetics, band
ges, ambulances, hospital supplies
re utterly useless unless they are
eady in sufficient quantity before the
icttm needs them. Morphine and
>dine sent forward after the first
.merican advance against the Ger
man lines won't save the life of a sin
le badly hurt Georgian, of one rid
ded Macon boy—they must, go to the
ront with him. , ---• Tmy\~

Those of us who think that the wo
jen who sew the bandages and knit
nd so forth are taking care of the
ted Cross work simply don't know’
/hat the Red Cross is. Its greatest
eed is never volunteer service, gen
rally untrained and useless, Is not
ften the output of the sewing circle,
welcome though these things are.
Vhat it wants now and all the time,
lore and more and yet more of it —
} money. Its work is tremendous, it
? about to become collossal. Our
oldiers cannot be sent into battle
ntil the Rod Cross is ready. And yet
•e give it a few cents and pass on.
America has done so little to relieve
uttering in this war. We made more
rofit out of food sales to the Belgian
elief Commission than we donated
) the funds from all sources. There
, one country in the war zone that
as given six dollars per capita to the
ed Cross work of Europe—just to
jmmon suffering humanity. America,
ch, bloated, comfortable and money
lutted, America that has made mon
y out of this war, has given to pros
•ate, bleeding, dying and agonized
yi inanity just sixteen cents per
\pita.
It is humilating. It is shameful, it
• disgraceful and outrageous. Some
w have done more than their share,
it. the rest of'us are just slackers—

LIVED 1 IMS
MID DREAD ONLY
Spent over SI,COO 'Trying to Get
Relief From Chronic Dyspep
sia—Takes 1 anlac and Gains
Nine Pounds.
• I told my husband that my Tanlac
was out and that I just haa to go to
Birmingham to get me another bot
tle, as 1 wouldn’t be without it for any
amount of money, and that is why I
am here today,” said Mrs. H. B. Bar
rett when she called at Jacobs’ drug
store in Birmingham recently to get
her second bottle. Mrs. Barrett resides
a* Republic, a suburb of Birmingham,
and is well known.
"I have only taken one bottle of
Tanlac and have, gained nine pounds.
Yes, sir, this Tanlac has done me
more good than all the medicines I
have ever taken. During the past four
teen years I have spent more than
SI,OOO trying to get well of a com
plaint that was gradually sapping my
strength.
“For the past four, years I have
lived almost entirely on milk and
bread and finally that got so it went
against me. I dared not eat meat or
vegetables of any kind, and if I did,
I would suffer for hours afterwards.
“I had chronic dyspepsia, so I was
told, and nothing prescribed for me
brought any relief. I rarely ever went
to the table, because even the sight
of food or to smell it cooking would
1
nauseate me. I had a bad taste in my
mouth and nothing I ate tasted right.
I had always been healthy and a wo
man who looked after her household
duties, but since having this trouble
I got so weak I could not do my house
work and had to have help.
“I would have awful pains in my
back and was nervous and could not
sleep’well. When I heard of this Tan
lac it sounded so good I thought I
would try it, because I was ready to
try anything that I thought would
help me. I was never so surprised in
my life; it helped me right from the
start, the medicine seemed to take
hold right at once and I could just
feel myself getting better from day
to day. Before I had finished my first
bottle I got so I could eat anything
put on the table and could hardly wait
for meal time to come. I certainly
bless the day I got this medicine, for
I believe it has added years to my life.
Oh! I feel so much better and sleep
so much better and am not nervous
like I was. Just think, I have actually
played, to remember that we have a
flag that stands for great ideals, but
it’s all on the outside so far. The
heart hasn’t moved. True, the Jtears
may come to the eyes, tbe gulp to the
throat and the blood tingle—but not
enough to propel the hand to the
checkbook and send in just a dollar
or so to feed, or heal or succor some
woman or child who is going through
the valley of the shadow.
We like to tell ourselves that the
world loves us, that we are a great
people, that we are big-hearted and
generous, that we do this and that
and that our .entry into the war is to
bring about the millennium on earth.
Maybe so —after awhile when the
trains of our own wounded start back
from the front, when the cripples of
out own legions crawl off at the* sta
tions where months before they left
with such high reslove, when from
across the sea our own next of kin
Cry to us and Oilrse us and demand
we at least bind their wounds —when
these things that may cause the clear
seeing and the sitters in judgment
among the nations of the earth to for
give us for what we have not done in
all these three awful years that are
just about gone.
It’s money—money-money. Your
money, my money, that bank's money,
that working man's money, this mil
lionaire's money—it’s all needed. The
word has gone out!
"Give 'till it hurts then really starl
to give.”
That’s us. That’s America —Georgia
—Macon. You and I have not the right
to enjoy one single luxury, one little
pleasure of any sort that costs as
much as a ftve-cent piece while the
American Red Cross needs a dollar,
or can find a place to spend a dollar.
That's the lesson America’s got to
learn. God grant she’ll learn it before
the blood of her own sons calls out
of the ground in imprecations on her
head and her negligent heart. It is
1 not too late to do for them what we
should have done for sons of other
nations while our coffers were run
i ning over with the gold wrung from
| the heart agony of their awful neces
i sity._ ,

LIFT YOUR CORNS _
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How to loosen a Tender Corn
or Callus so it Lifts Out
Without Pain.
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers. 1
Freezone dries the moment it is ap
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even ir
ritating the sourrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone wiil
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but will positively rid one's
feet of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callus. If your druggist
hasn’t any freezone he can get it at
any wholesale drug house for you.

Edison!
A New Expression-Music’s
Re-Creation
In order clearly to distinguish the results obtained by the New
Edison from the familiar, mechanical reproduction of the ordi
nary talking machine the critics coined anew expression—
Music’s Re-Creation, anew art known only to Thomas A.
Edison and his trusted assistants.
No Needles to Change
Incidentally, the reproducing stylus of the New Edison is a
genuine diamond which never wears out. Consequently there
are no needles to change.
Durable Records
Edison records are extremely durable, not easily broken and
practically unwearable. They can be played hundreds of times
without impairing their musical qualities to a degree sufficient to
be detected by the keenest ear.
