versity, the average American should
eat about half as much meat as he
does if lie would live to airipe old
a ?? and keep his pep. Moie greens
and milk are the substitutes recom
mended.
The professor speaks as a health
expert, and if his advice were herded,
|dhere isn’t a bit of doubt that the
doctors and undertaken would have
a lot less to do.
The dinner table is a far deadlier
place than the battlefield because the
vast majority of people cannot resist
the temptation to eat too much of
which appeals to their taste.
This is particularly true during hot
weather, when, if one is as interested
as he should be in keping his body
and mind in top condition, he should
eat sparingly of the heavy concen
trated foods. And above all, during
hot weather, forget the alcohol and
drink plenty of cool, not iced,.water.
Drink it with your meals slowly, and
between your meals. Start your day
with a glassful and finish your day
the same way.
The following of these simple rules
will pay big cash health dividens and
greatly Improve your disposition.

Sumter'county’s biggest peach crop
in its history, about 115 carloads, it
being wound up this week with ship
ments the heaviest of the season.
The movement of Elbertas, the last
shipping' peach, has been in full
swing druing'the week, and the last
of the Georgia Belles moved out the
first of the week. The final ship
ments of Elbertas, a very few cars,
will go out early next week.
Taken ns a whole, the season has
been the most successful and most
successful and most profitable the
county has ever known. While some
peaches brought low prices early in
the season, because of poor market
ing, low quality or unfortunate ship
ment, many of them have brought
fancy prices, topping tpe market reg
ularly. The average net price re
ceived for the entire crop of th«
county is estimated by peach men at
probably $705 per car. On a basis
of 115 cars, this means that the scs

DISARMAMENT
, ' A high Japanese "official visiting
1 this country says that the people of
Japan, following the grtat war, have
become very much interested in for
eign affairs. He sdds thst Japan has
reached a point where foselgn poli
cies must be based upon public opin
ion.
At about tho time he was mnk
ing these statements the National
Chamber of Commerce of Japan,
meeting at Tokio, was demanding by
resolution that the Japanese govern
ment "should reach aQ agreement
with tho other powers regarding dis
armament.” These Japanese busi
ness men representing a large section
of public opinion also demanded that
the government reduce appropria
tions devoted to preparations, for
war, “which are arousing the suspi
cions of other nations and endanger
ing Japan’s future.’’
If it is true that Japan has reached
the points where public opinion con
trols her foreign policy and the most
powerful section of that public opin
ion i3 demanding disarmament agree
ments and reduced military expendi
tures, it is news of dhe greatest in
terest and importance.
The biggest stumbling block in the
wsy of working out
disarmament program
great powers is fesr'and suspicion of
Japan. This Is sspeclsily true in re
spect of America’s participation in
such a program.
Given the assurance that the peo
ple and government of Japan arc
sincerely desirous of doing their part
toward getting the world on a sane
armament basis, a long step will have
been taken toward the goal.

Councils 'Biggest Steppers
By far the largest shipper has been
Council-Brothers, under tile direction
and supervision of John M. Coun
cil. The Council peaches are mov
ing this week at the rate of 3 to 4
care per day, and for the season will
total between 35 and 40 cars. They
are not only the finest peaches being
shipped out of Sumter county, ac-
Ing to peach men, but are the
superior of any being handled out of
the Marshallville and-Fort Valley
sections.' -They are magnificent
peaches in size, color, condition and
shipping quality. As a result, they
have been topping the market reg
ularly, some of then
as $3.60 per crate or u ,„„ f ,,-
700 per car gross, tho highest price
paid this season for Sumter county
peaches in car lots. As a result, some
of the Council peaches have netted
more than $1,200 per car, a figure
far surpassing the returns'received
by other growea. The fact that one-
third of the total shipments from this
county is being made by the Coun
cil orchard, which ia receiving top
prices, brings the.average for the
county to the excellent net figure
named, probably $700 per car.
“Mr. Council simply knows the
peach business,” said a local grower
who has been less successful this
season. “He has kept his orchard in
perfect condition, has successfully
controlled insect pests, and is pro
ducing the finest fruit grown in
South Georgia. He knows how to
market It, tod, and is reaping the
reward for the combination."
McNeill Finishes..
All the peach shipments from this
county since early in the season have
been handled by the Central of Geor
gia, which estimates the entire busi
ness from this county for the season
over its line at 90 care. The Sea
board has handled 25 cars.
Shipments over the Central for the
. j- Previous two weeks and this week
practicable including Wednesday totalled 4*
among tho can. Of these Council Brothers
handled 20; Eeasterlin Brothers, An-
dersonvllle, 10; R. D. McNeill, Arles
Station, 10, and Methvin Fruit Farms
2. The total shipments for tbit week
are estimated at from 20 to 29 cars,
and for next week 4 to 0 cart. Mr.
McNeill finished hit ihipmentt for
the season witV. a single car from
Arles Station Wednesday.
V T . he * l " ericua P Unt of tho Atlan
tic Ice t Coal Corporation, under the
management of Gray Tillman, has
experienced the heaviest season in ic
ing cars., Not only has it done the
heaviest busmens ecu!!/ In its his
tory, but it has furnished ice for a
laigc number of can out of Marshall-
ville and Fort Valley, besides being
called on to re-ice a number of cars
during the season from the South-
western branch of the Central from
around Cuthbert and elsewhere. The
plant, which was enlarged two years
ago to take care of the increasing
demand of new orchards coming into
bearing, with a large storage capaci
ty, has been amply able to meet,the
demand at ,11 times, at the same
time providing for the local retail ice
trade without curtailment. This
demand will continue to grow as new
orchards ccme into bearing yearly.
