Nashville, Feb. 9.—The following pre
amhlo and resolution!) wore adopted by
A. J. Harris Chapter, United Daugh'
terB of the Confederacy—
"Whereas, the President-General of
the United Daughters of the Coofcd
erncy, Mrs. Cordelia Powell Orden-
heitner, of Maryland, has issued a mes
sage to the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, calling attention to the
fact that United States Senator Works
will introduce in the present Congress
tho bill introduced by him in the pre
ceding Congress, providing that the
Federal Governmennt extend aid to the
old and Indigent Confederate soldiers
and women; and,
"WhereaB, the A. J. Harris Chapter
of the United Daughters of the Con
federacy believe that the United States,
tho grandest republic in tho world, af
ter more than fifty years since the
close of the War Between the StateB,
is ns much tho Government of the
Southorn States and tho Confederate
soldiers and their dopendonts as it is of
tho people of other States; and,
“Whereas, the poople of the South
orn States that seceded from the Fed
eral Government, and tho Confederate
soldiers nnd their dependents, have un-
murmuringly contributed, in taxes,
their proportion of the money required
to Bupport tho Government and pay, as
wub proper, liberal pensions to the
Federal soldiers and provide comfort
able homes for tho old, feeble and in
digent remnant of its Boldiors, who have
in civil life and in arms manifested
their loyalty to tho Federal Govern
ment, and in view of these facts this-
chapter of United Daughters of the
Confederacy unreservedly commends
tho object of the bill of SonatOr Works,
believing it to embody a high ideal of
patriotism, as well as a manifest equity
duo to the people of the seceding
States, and especially the remnant of
tho Confederate Boldiers and their de
pendents.
"Therefore, be it resolved, That our
Senators and Congressmen be request
ed to snpport and use their influence to
secure the passage of the bill of Sena
tor Works, or a bill embodying in sub
stance its objects and purposes.
"Bo it further resolved, That a copy
of the foregoing preamble and resolu
tions be sent to Senator Works, accom
panied by the thanks of this chapter
for his manly and patriotic efforts in
behalf of the surviving Confederate
soldlerB and their dependents; that a
copy bo sent to Mrs. Cordelia Powell
Ordenhcimer, and also a ‘copy to our
Senators and Congressmen."

it is of the greatest importance that
they movo once each day. If your
bowels become constipated, take a dose
of Chamberlain’s Tablets just after
supper nnd they will correct the dis
order. Obtainable everywhere.

MRS. BARRETT LIVED ON MILK
AND BREAD.
Spent Over $1,000 Trying to Get
Relief From Chronic Dyspepsia.
"I told my husband that my Tanlac
was out and that I just had to go to
Birmingham to get me another bottle,
as I would not be without it for any
amount of money, and that is why I am
hero to-day," said Mrs. H. B. Barrett,
when Bhe called at Jacobs' drug store
in Birmingham recently to get her
second bottle. Mrs. Barrett resides at
Republic, a suburb of Birmingham, and
is well-known.
"1 have only taken one bottle of Tan
lac and have gBined nine pounds. Yes,
sir, this Tanlac has done me more good
than all the medicines I have ever
taken. During the past fourteen yearn
I have spent more than $1,000 trying
to get well of a complaint 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 nau
seate me. I had a bad taste in my
mouth, and nothing 1 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 painB in my
back and was nervous and could not
sleep well. When I heard of this Tan
lac it Bounded so good I thought I
would try it, and I was ready to try
anything that I thought would help me.
I never was bo surprised in my life; it
helped me right from the start; the-
medicine seemed to take hold right at
onco, and I could just feel myself get
ting better from day to day. Before I
had finished my first bottle I got so 1
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 hsB add
ed years to my life. Oh! I feel ao much
better and sleep so much better, and
am not nervous like I was. Just think,
I have actually gained nine (9) pounds,
and feel strong in every way.
“My neighbors were as much sur
prised as I was, and they are at my
house every day, telling me how well
I look. I counted up yesterday and
fourteen of them are either taking
Tanlac, or will commence taking it as
soon as they can go to Birmingham
and get it. Toplac is certainly a won?
derful medicine, and everbody out our
way is talking about it. You can put
this in the papers if you want to, be
cause I know there are thousands of
womon in the same bad fix that I had
betn for so many years.”

Quotations on Fertilizer Causes
Deep Thinking.
Columbus EnqulreisSun.
The one-horse farmer, the negro ten
ant and the farmer working “on shares”
is experiencing some deep thinking these
days in order to get around the fertil
izer problem. Each day they come to
town in droves to get quotations on fer
tiliser, and at the answer to their ques
tion as to prices they realize that a
war is going on somewhere.
Fertilizer now is being made without
potash, tho supply of the commodity
being cut off by the war, and it is quo
ted at a very high figure. Fertilizer
containing potash is now quoted at $40
to $00 a ton. So far the d.emand has
been considerably lower than the sup
ply, and the supply is low.
A prominent merchant in Columbus
tells of the consternation caused a far
mer by the price of potash: This far
mer had four sacks of potash which he
had saved from "befo’ de wah,” when
the price did not make it a luxury. It
laid around and he had not paid much
attention to it until another farmer, no
ticing it and realizing its value, asked
if ho would sell it. Ho was asked a price,
and the owner of the potash nearly
fainted when the prospective buyer
answered, "One hundred dollars
sack." The farmer had paid probably
$6 or $7 a sack for it.
"Baby Week”—March 4 to 11
The Christian ObjerveP.
1916 is Baby Year. The factB about
American babies, the needs"of Ameri
can babies, and America’s responsibili
ty to her babies will this year be known
as never before, because the first week
in March will be Baby Week through
out the country.
Newnan has 110 babies 18 months
old and under, and will celebrate Baby
Week in theic honor. Each household
having a baby will be given a banner
to be displayed all the week in the front
window. Each mother will be given a
leaflet of helpful instructions on the
care of her baby. All members'of the
babies’ families will bejgiven a badge
to wear to Sunday-school and church
on Baby Sunday, March 6, as a pledge
of their allegiance to His) Majesty,
King Baby. Part of theJCivic League
program for March will bejjdevoted to
this subject.
On Friday, March 10, at 3 p. m.,
there will be a grand auto; parade
around the court-house aquare of all
the babies and their mothers.
On Friday, March 10, The Newnan
Herald will print an instructive article
on infant care. All mothers of babies
be sure to read it. '
More than 400 communities, ,repre
senting every State in the Union, have
laid plans for “Babjt Week," accord
ing to the Children’s Bureau of the
United States Department of . jLabor,
in order that during those seven days
the needs of the babies may be so, pre
sented that-all the) parents in those
communities will learn a little ‘better
how to care for their babies, and all
the citizera will realize that they have
a special obligation to safeguard the
conditions surrounding' ba'bies. And it
is confidently believed byj those who
are interested in this nation-wide Baby
Week that the remainder of -the year
will be marked by a strengthening of
all community activities for saving ba
bies’ lives and giving them a better
chance to grow to a healthy maturity.
The “Baby Week” originated in
Chicago not quite two years ago. Then
NewYorkkada “Baby Week,” and
Pittsburg, and other cities. Such prac
tical benefit has in each case resulted
that the General Federation of Wo
man’s Clubs has undertaken to promote
this nation-wide observance. State
health officials and national organiza
tions interested in public health and
child welfare have taken up the plan
and in various ways are giving it not
only their sanction but their active co.
operation.
The Federal Children’s Bureau be
lieves that "Baby Week” will give
more parents a chance to learn the ac
cepted principles of infant care, and
will awaken every American to his re
sponsibility for the deaths of the three
hundred thousand babies who, according
to the census estimates, die every
year before they are 12 months old.
Therefore the Children’s Bureau has
prepared a special bulletin of practical
suggestions for “Baby Week” cam
paigns, adapted to the varying needs
of communities of different types.
Copies of this bulletin muy be had free
of charge from the Children’s Bureau
at Washington.
Has Eight Children.
Mrs. P. Rehkamp, 2404 Herman St.,
Covington, Ky., writes: “I have been
using Foley’s Honey and Tar for nearly
two years and can find no better cough
Byrup. I have eight children and give
it to all of them. They were subject
to croup from babies on.” It is a safe
and reliable medicine. J. F. Lee Drug
Co. :
A man who was very vain of his per
sonal appearance went to the doctor
one day and asked him to explain a
singular circumstance.
"Doctor,” he said, “my hair is per
fectly black, but my whiskers are turn
ing white rapidly. Now, how do you
account for that?”
“Well,” replied the physician, “I
don’t know, unless it is because your
jaws have worked a great deal harder
than your brains.”
A WOMAN’S TROUBLE.
Savammh, Ga.—"I have used your
* Favorite Prescription ’ and have found
from the relief it gave me that it is all
that you claim it to be. I used it for
woman’s trouble, irregularity due to
taking cold from wet feet, and agoniz
ing pains. I was a bunch of nerves
at the time of taking the medicine
(almost to a hysterical extent) and was
so low-spirited that I imagined 1 was
about to die. Mj\strengtn was gone
and I was in quite a debilitated state.
Was under the care of a physician but
was discouraged with no improvement.
Finally, after much persuasion from
my sister, I began to take Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription and can happily
say my decision was a wise one for X
rapidly improved and soon regained
my full health in every particular.’’—
Mrs. F. Thompson, Savannah, Ga,
The mighty restorative power of
Doctor I’leree’s Favorite Proscription
speedily causes all womanly troubles
to disappear—compels the organs to
properly perform their natural func
tions, corrects displacements, over
comes irregularities, removes pain nnd
misery at certain times and brings
back health and strength to nervofis,
Irritable and exhausted women.

It is so easy to criticize one’s neigh'
bor who has gone wrong in morals, or
made a failure in business, and so hard
to give credit for the effect of the in
fluences impelling him to disaster, over
which he had no control. Men often
say how good fhey would have been, or
what they would have accomplished,
had they been in the other man’s place.
They do not stop to ask why the fel
low that was in the other'shoes did not
succeed. If they did they would often
find the man who went wrong, or who
failed, was entitled to great credit
for standing up so bravely under forces
and burdens that might easily have
overthrown his accusers. Sometimes
the man who faila is a greater hero
than another who wins.
A large portion of what the world
calls good luck is composed of ninety-
nine parts of ambition and one part of
talent.
90* ARE SUFFERING
c
And Are Doing Nothing to
. Avoid the Serious Results
Thai Will Follow
NUXCARA WILL GIVE RELIEF
It has been estimated that 90 per
cent of the people of this country are
suffering from indigestion, in a more or
less serious form. The worst feature of
it is that the majority of these are not
doing anything to stop it. Every day
that this goes on means an additional
weakening of some vital organ, for
there is practically no fatal disease that
does not start originally from some form
of indigestion.
If you have heart-bum, sick head
ache, languor, sour stomach, nausea,
giddiness, bad, breath, melancholy,
sleeplessness, impatience or nervous
ness, its safe to say that you tre af-
i&cted with indigestion. Don’t delay
until you are seriously ill. Cure your
self and eliminate the doctor bill. If
you wish to avoid trouble quickly and
cheaply, 'take a bottle of Nuxcara
which has afforded relief to hundreds.
We will be glad to send you some of
our numerous testimonials from grate
ful people. Write for Nuxcara to the
Nuxcara Co., Atlanta, Ga., or get it at
