THIS WEAK,
NERVOUS MOTHER
Tells How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Restored Her Health.
Philadelphia, Pa.-“I wm very weak,
always tired, my back ached, and 1 felt
sickly most of the
time. I went to *
doctor and he said
I had nervous indi
gestion, which ad
ded to my weak
condition kept me
worrying most of
the time —and ho
said if I could not
stop that, I could
not get well. I
heard so much about
Lydia E. Pinkham’•
Vegetable Com-
pound my husband wanted me to try it,
Itook it fora week and felt a little bet
ter. I kept it up for three months, and
I feel fine and can eat anything now
without distress or nervousness. *-Mrs.
J. Worthline, 2842 North Taylor St,
Philadelphia Pa.
The majority of mothers nowadays
overdo, there are so many demands
upon their time and strength; the result
is invariably a weakened, run-down,
nervous condition with headaches, back
ache, irritability and depression—and
soon more serious ailments develop.
It is at such periods in life that Lydia E;
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will
.restore a normal healthy condition, as
it did to Mrs. Worthline.

of the cotton production of the state;

to ten men from each county in the
state. J. S. Wannamaker of South
Carolina, president of the American
Cotton Association, who, for two
months, has been devoting practically
his whole time to a personal study of
the world spinning conditions and the
demands for raw material, and to the
actual production from the fields
themselves, will participate in the Ma
jon meeting, to the end that proper
arrangements may be made for con
cluding the Georgia membership en
rollment campaign within the time de
cided upon. That enrollment, how

con meeting on a date to be announc
ed later.

ready recommended that there be one
government for the entire county, in

ing made to complete preliminary de
tails for beginning work upon the
community building in Dublin, which
has been in process of organization
for several months. The directors of
the corporation which has been form

cepted the charter, adopted a consti
tution and by-laws and decided to
complete the amount of stock needed

day campaign to this end is to be

THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA.
Prices Are Fixed for Textbook*
Atlanta.—Upholding the position al
ready taken by State School Super
intendent M. L. Brittain In the mat
ter, the attorney general handed that
official an opinion to the elect that,
under the Yeomans act, school book
publishers could not file textbooks at
higher prices than those already list
e dfor the five year period covered by
their bonds. Under the law in ques
tion publishers were required to file
with the state superintendent on or
before January 1, 1917, a list of the
books which they would offer for
sale in Georgia to be used as school
texts, together with their prices. They
could not increase these prices for a
period of five years and would be
compelled to reduce them if they were
reduced in other states. A bond was
required of each company to secure
its compliance with the law. Some
time ago several of these companies
asked that they might be allowed to
file a new list, pleading ’iat, owing
to the increased cost of labor and ma
terial, they could not furnish books at
the prices originally listed without se
rious loss. Mr. Brittain replied' that
he could not allow them to jdo this.
The law in his opinion was plain and
their remedy lay, he said, through leg
islative action repealing the law or
else in an appeal to the courts. The
matter was taken up at the last quar
terly meeting’ of the state board of
education and it was decided to refer
it to the attorney general for his opin
ion.
Tri-Ccunty Fair Ends
Bainbridge.—The first tri-county fair

did attendance each day. Exhibits, es
pecially in agricutlure, live stock and
canning, wer eexceptionally fine and
a large number of handsome premiums
were awarded. Carnival features were
unsually good. E. H. Griffin, secre
tary of the fair association, stated
that the fair had been a big success
in every respect, and probably would
be repeated annually.
Monster tee Storage Plant
Macon. —The largest ice storage
plant in the entire south is being con
structed in Macon, and when it is com
pleted all danger of a repetition of the
ice shortage which came near causing
heavy loss to 'fruit growers the past
summer will be removed. The plant
is being built of concrete and will be
fully 300 by 100 feet and 60 feet
high. It will have a capacity of 35,-
000 tons of ice. There will be a spe
cial railroad siding so that loaded
fruit trains can be run direct to the
plant for re-icing with a minimum de
lay.
Boys Given Chance At West Point
Atlanta.—Two Atlanta boys, Francis
Hammack of 59 We^t Baker street
and Thomas G. Linthicum of 514 East
Fifth street, have been appointed as

route agents of the Southern Express

den to the bank, at Cedar Bluff.
Moultrie Bond Election Called
Moultrie—The city council has de
cided to call a bond election just as
soon as an ordinance can be passed
authorizing it. This will require about
three weeks. The issue will be for
about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. It is proposed to use the
money in putting* up a school build
ing in laying additional street pav
ing’ and in extending the sewerage sys
tem.
Work Begins On Tubercular Hospital
Macon—After months of delay, due
to inability to find a suitable site, it
has been announced that a deal is to
be closed at once for the purchase
of a tract of land and work will be
started within a few days on a tuber
culosis hospital for Bibb county. The
voters of Macon several months ago

this purpose.
Brunswick Has Good Highway
Brunswick. — Travelers passing
through Brunswick during the past
have reported that the Dixie highway
between Brunswick and Savannah is
in better condition at present than
it has ever been. As a matter of fact,

GIVE GRIT TO AID DIGE^N
Hens Should Have Access
Times to Supply of Material w
Help Grind Feed.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The bens should have access at all
times to a supply of grit or stones of a
size small enough to be swallowed
readily. Grit is used by the hens to
help In grinding in their gizzards the
hard grains which they eat. A supply
of ordinary gravel will answer the
purpose of grit very well. Crushed oys
ter' or clam shell also should be given
to the hens and be kept before them at
all times. If this is withheld the hens

ar^likely to lack sufficient shell-form
ing material in their feed, with the re
sult that they lay many soft-shelled or
thin-shelled eggs. Grit or shell can be
purchased in small quantities at any
feed or poultry supply store.
PECULIARITIES OF TURKEYS
Show the Least Intelligence of Any
Farm Fowl When Young and
the Most When Matured.
Some one said the turkey shows the
least intelligence when small and the
most Intelligence after maturity of
any fowl known. This is true of all
the farm fowls. The goose and duck
will often go some distance from the
poultry range, make a nest, deposit
their eggs, sit and hatch, if undis
turbed, taking no notice as to whether
being watched by human eyes or not.
The turkey is very cautious. She will
lead one, if she finds she is being
watched, away from the nest or where
she intends making it, often making a
nest and sitting down cozily, until her
watcher decides, or is deceived into
thinking she is on the nest, but he
will have to try it over again. After
the watcher has gone away, she leaves
her temporary nest for the true one,
deposits her egg and usually covers
It deeply with leaves or other trash.
WINTER SHELTER FOR GEESE
Fowls Are Very Hardy and Open
Sheds Are Satisfactory for
Cold Weather Season.
Geese do not need shelter except
during cold winter weather, when
open sheds may be pronded. Goslings
are not usually hatched until good
pasture is available, and need addi
tional feed only for a few weeks. The
range of pasture used either for gos
lings or for geese should be large
enough so that the grass will remain
clean, or the stock should be moved
frequently to fresh land. Coops, bar
rels, or some other dry shelter should
be provided for the young goslings.
Geese are very hardy and free from
diseases and insect pests.
If you would avoid limberneck al
low no dead carcasses or maggots on
your farm.
• * *
It pays every farmer to have a poul
try-wired yard for his fowls in which
they may be enclosed when desirable.
* ♦ ♦
Much of the year’s success with the
farm flock depends on the quality of
the birds that are left after the fall
culling. * *
Figure on enough poultry litter for
the laying house so that the birds can
have clean scratching material through
out the winter.
♦ • *
A little extra care of your hens and
a bit of choice feed will pay in eggs
many times. Don’t be afraid of doing
too much.
« • *
The hen needs exercise the same
as a human being. You can’t expect
hens to have health and lay winter
eggs when buddled up in a small
spaca. - -

UTRECHT’S PLACE IN HISTORY
Dutch Town, in Which Kaiser May
Dwell, Saw Beginning of His
Line’s Rise to P,ower.
Reports say that the ex-kaiser has
purchased a house near the historic
town of Utrecht, Holland, and thdt
he wishes to end his days there. It
was in Utrecht, 206 years ago. that
the house of Hoheuzollern was first
established in a royal rank.
It was in' the peace concluded in
1713 that the ex-emperor’s ancestor,
Frederick of Brandenburg, received
acknowledgment from the leading Eu
ropean powers of.his title of king of
Prussia. This peace put an end to the
long war of the Spanish succession,
which many claim was begun over the
fear that the ruling hpuses of France
and Spain would become one, and up
set the European balance of power.
The ex-kaiser is part English, and it
was England, with her continental al
lies of lesser strength, that virtually
established the kingdom of Prussia.
The same peace also made the duke
of Savoy the king of Italy, but today
the king of Italy rules over all of Italy
except Savoy, which belongs to France.
England has retained practically every
thing it secured at that peace confer
ence, including Gibraltar and Minorca,
secured from Spain ; Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick and the Hudson bay ter
ritory from France, as well as valuable
trading privileges in Africa and South
America, from both prance and Spain.
If a man is unable to keep his word
fie can find plenty more in the diction
ary.

RELIEVED MIND OF HOSTESS
California Newspaper ' Man Proved
Himself a Diplomat in Situation
That Called for Tact.
While a Los Angeles publisher was
abroad, a few months ago, with a
newspaper crowd he was invited, with
the rest of the party to dine with a
duke and duchess who were burdened
with a double last name, such as Kelly-
Angus. * •
The Californian was in an awful
stew from the time the dinner started
as to how he should address the host
ess in case he fell into conversation
with her, but'finally, when the oppor
tunity came, he proved himself every
inch a diplomat.
The duchess, it seems was apologiz
ing for the dinner not being more for
mal, or something like that, and the
newspaper man, desiring to make her
feel at ease, just reached his right
hand across the table, took the hostess
by the hand, and said:
“Oh, that’s all right, Mrs. Kelly, all
of us like good home cooking.”—.
