k The Herald and Advertiser NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JULY 17. ONE DOLLAR A IN ADVANCN. YEAR Serums. Beaton l'onl. Once upon a time, not so very lone bro, a boy wuh born, anti they named him Willie. This boy’s mother did not nurse him, but he was pul on a bottle. Fortunately, a learned scientist had discovered how to pasteurize milk, so that the boy did pretty well on cow’s milk. When this boy was two years old he had whooping coutjh. Fortunately, Dr. Bordet, of Brussels, had discovered;that serum from a cat would cure whooping ccugh, and some cut serum was inject ed into Willie. Soon after Willie got about again, he was taken with measles. Fortunately, Dr. John I’. Anderson, of WuHhington, had discovered that serum from a mon key would cure measles. So they pumped monkey serum into the boy, and the measles didn’t kill him. One day Willie was playing with his pet terrier, when the dog scratched him. So his folks, dreading hydropho bia in its worst form, rushed him down to Now Jersey, where there is a great institute in honor of the late ITof. Pas teur, who fortunately, discovered that serum from a dog was a fine thing for rabies. They pumped dog serum into little Willie for two months. Willie pulled through nicely, hut on the way home rode in a Pullman sleep er in which a smallpox case was dis covered. Fortunately, Dr. Jenner had discovered that serum from a cow would cure smallpox, and so, on getting home, they pumped some cow serum into Willie’s arm. Well, Willie lived along until he wbb ten years old, when one night his folks were sent into n panic by discovering that he had black diphtheria. Fortu nately, a noted Herman physician had discovered that serum from a horse would cure diphtheria, if anything would, und so they guve Willie some horse serum. Finally, ut forty years of age, Willie was taken with a mysterious malady. None of the doctors could tell definitely what it was. At last, as Willie was very low, a very leurned scientist from a great Eastern institute visited him and pronounced it '‘generaldebility.” “But, cheer up, my man,’' fluid the scientist, “I have a serum from ” “No more menagerie in mine,"sighed Willie. “Life has been but one blamed serum after another.” Whereupon Willie died, much to the regret of the scientist, who felt sure that he was about to enrich medicul science with a great discovery, since he was about to try serum from a hen and an alligator on “general debility." We don’t know that there’s any mor al to thiB story. But there’s a whole lot of truth to it, anyhow. Jf Kidneys and Bladder Bother Then Foley's Kidney Pills.

I.ni«rnntr<‘ Reporter. The farmers of Troup county who have often been urged to farm upon a small acreage and cultivate diversified products, will be interested to bear of the wonderful success of Mr. J. G. Truitt, one of LaGrange’s most sub stantial business men, in the produc tion of alfalfa. Yesterday Mr. Truitt cut two acres of bis hay, and succeeded in storing eight tons. Alfalfa sells for $ld per ton, and if Mr. Truitt decides to sell the output he will realize about SlUO, most of which is clear profit. The farmers of this section who have been dubious as to the probability of Hading a market for alfalfa should talk to Mr. Truitt. Although first of all a business man, he knows how to farm. He is wealthy, but the average far mer need not feel that this is the rea- aon he is able to farm at a profit. Rather he is wealthy because of this, and Ilia ability to do other things as well. Mr. Truitt states that it costs on an average $40 to prepare an acre for al falfa. And this is practically the only eoit, as it grows almost eternally, with out any expense for cultivation. “1 don’t think that one should al ways obey one's parents, do you, Araminta?” inquired Arabella. “Why, l don’t know.” said Aramin ta, “what makes you say that?" "Last night when Boh was here papa railed down 'Arabella, put out the light,’ and of course 1 did it. And when be came downstairs and found us in the dark be was just raving mad."

There van once a man who tried to love his neighbors. He began with those next door and succeeded in loving them very satisfactorily, although one of them kept chickens and the other one was a rival and perhapt superior gardener. From these concrete exam ples he proceeded to demonstrate his ability to love the abstract variety of neighbors which includes everybody and everything. He not only loved his neighbor but he loved his neighbor's chickenB. He loved the other neigh bor’s garden—even the arrogant toma toes that bloomed and flourished there while those in his own garden pined away. He loved the ice man and the light and gas and water men and he would have loved the man who cleaned the Btreet if he had been certain of his existence. He loved the gentleman across the street who tinkered with his motor car all day Sunday and he loved the wood pecker that hammered the water spoat outside the bed-room window at 5 o’clock each morning. He loved the neighbor’s children, although they pulled his pansies and he pretended that he loved the beetles that fed on the hearts of his rosebuds. He loved hot water and cold water and expressed a peculiar affection for the weather man. All these he loved, and many ^more, but there was one neighbor that he could not love, it was the neighbor who was said to be on the same party telephone line with him. It is doubtful if anybody has ever succeeded in loving that elusive, ever present somebody who Heems to live on his party line. It haH long been a matter of regret that one-half of the world did not know how the other half lived. By means of a party line we have found out all about it, and a very unprofitable piece of knowledge it has been. We know too much about the neighbor on our party line and he knows too much about us. This man might have succeeded in loving his neighbor on his telephone line if he had met him over the garden fence, but they were forever assaulting each other with unexpected and irritable "hellos.” and with vehement request from each to the other to “get off the line.” When he called up his wife in the morning his neighbor’s wife ans wered him, and when he tumbled down the stairs to answer his telephone in the night the neighbor sent him hack to bed humiliated. And then his wife and the neighbor’s wife met at a lunch eon where the latter induced the former to listen to a weary recital of the tele phone 'habits of the “folks on their party line.” Of course there was no chance after that. It seems that it cannot be done. The party telephone lines connect us too closely with our neighbors to permit us to love each other. A religious worker was visiting a Southern penitentiary, when one pris oner in some way took his fancy. This prisoner was a negro who evinced a re ligious fervor as deep as it was gratify ing to the caller. “Of what were you accused?” the prisoner was asked. "Dey says I took a watch,” answered the negro. ”1 made a good tight. 1 had a dandy lawyer, an' he done an alibi wif ten witnesses. Den my lawyer he sho’ made a strong speech io de jury. But it wa'nt no use, sail; 1 gits ten years. ” "I don't see why you were not ac quitted.” said the religious worker. "Well, sah,” explained the prisoner, ’Mere was sho’ one weak spot 'bout de case—de found de watch in my pocket. ” The usual large crowd was gathered at the New York end of the Brooklyn bridge waiting for trolley onrs. An eld erly lady, red in the face, flustered and fussy, dug her elbows into convenient ribs irrespective of owners. A fat man on her left was the recip ient of a particularly vicious jab. She yelled at him, "Say!” He winced slightly and moved to one side. She, too, sidestepped and thumped him vigorously on the hack. "Say!” she persisted, “does it make any difference which of these cars I take to Greenwood Cemetery?” "Not to me, madam,” he answered, slippling through an opening in the crowd.

Many a man —probably few women who try it—finds a raw onion highly im proving to his state of health when he is afflicted with a severe cold. A bacteriologist explains that there is no mystery about the onion cure. It is not like a charm which rnay prevail upon a wart to vanish, but is virtually a specific for the cure of colds, in that the oil in the onion kills the microbes of “cold. ” The mouth of nearly every healthy person contains a few diplococci pneu monic, it is explained, and a cold, which weakens resistance, may give the deadly diplococcus his chance. It is, therefore, important to treat the cold germ as severely as he has treated you. He is fastidious and does not like on ions. Dose him with raw onions and he dies. As for the members of the family who object to onions—well, a man must not give up his hope of escape from the lurking diplococcus merely because his sisters, his cousins or his aunts abhor the penetrant perfume of raw onions. Large luscious onions repose tempt ingly amid the green grocer’s array of edibles. But only the brave who de serve, and are unafraid of the fair, dare suggest their being bought and served raw. Only a few bold spirits will go so far as to smuggle them into the household tor consumption at the witching time o’ night when “hell itself breathes out contagion on the world,” and a man who has eaten an onion should, by comparison, seem innocuous and blameless. But inasmuch as a bacteriologist in dorses the onion as a cold cure, and tells how it acts, let us be up and doing with a heart for any argument in pro test that may be made. With a Span ish onion as large as a squash, and the “fixin’s” that go therewith, let those of us who have hitherto lacked, in po lite company, the courage of our con victions, go as far as we like. The on ion has an oil in it, and the oil has a Latin name and a specific function. And pneumonia is a deadly peril which must be guarded against at all costs, and in defiance of contumely. Even if one hasn’t a cold, who can tell what to-mor row might bring forth? Preventive med icine beats a pound of cure. Best Diarrhoea Remedy.

The Immensity of Russia. Cleveland Pluin Denier. Merely by way of supplementing the regular appropriations for the Rus sian army the Czar’s government has added $(10,000,000 to the usual estimate for that great engine of war. Europe is gravely discussing extensive changes and improvements in the equipment and organization of the Russian artille ry, especially, and Germany and Aus. tria-Hungary are carefully noting the reports of the massing of Russian troops near their frontiers. All such incidents direct attention to the huge hulk of the Russian empire. It is by far the greatest connected ter ritory under any flag. The only empire more extensive is that of Great Britain, which lies in widely separated parts of the earth. The population of Russia’s vast realm is much greater than that of any other country inhabited by peo ple chiefly of European blood or origin. The Russian standing army is by far the largest in the world. The Russian revenues are also greater than those of any other nation, though not larger than those of all parts of the British empire taken together. Russia grows the biggest wheat crop in the world and the largest rye crop. “I tell you” said Joshua Oldstock, “this here new femir ist movement ain't goin' to pan out. The only feminist movement that ever was any good was the one we had when I was a young man.” “Why,” his grandniece replied, “there was no such thing as a feminist movement when you were a young man!” "There wasn’t, eh? That's all you know about it. The greatest feminist movement in the world is a good sensi- ahle woman darnin’ a sock and rockin’ cradle with her foot."

Rheumatic Throat Is Common Trouble Should Be Treated in Blood To Prevent Recurrence. a Thorn nro succossful gargles that stop Horenoss In the throat, but to prevent their incessant return, the blood must be put in order. The best remedy is S. S. S., as it influences all the functions of the body to neutralize the irritnnts or waste products und to stimulate their excretion through, the proper channels. Rheumatic sore throat Is a dangerous indication, as it moans that the blood Is loaded with more uric acid than the kid neys can excrete, and may thus lead to serious general disturbance. The action of S. S. S, stimulates cellular activity. It prevents the accumulation of irritants in local spots. It: enables the arteries to supply quickly the new red blood to replace worn-out tissue. For this reason uric acid that finds the throat an easy prey to its breaking-down Influence, is scattered and eliminated. In other words, S. S. S. prevents chronic con ditions by enabling all Hie mucous linings of the body to secrete healthy mucus. Its Influence is shown iu a marked improve ment of tlie bronchial tubes, whereby the huskiness of voice with thick, gruvish ex pectorations is overcome. S. S. S'., well diluted with water, means a blood bath, since it is welcome to any stomach and at once gets into the blood. S. S. S. is free of all minerals and con tains ingredients wonderfully conducive to well-balanced health. You can got it at any drug store, but do not accept anything else. There is danger in substitutes.
