OUR WATCHWORD!
IT’S PURE! THAT’S SURE!! IT’LL CURE!!!
There’s a bottle of Paragon Blood Tonic for all at any druggist's if yuit
are suffering from Bad Blood, Rheumatism, Indigestion, Kidney and Stoniach
Trouble, or if you are in a general run-down condition.
OUR PARAGON COLD CURE
FOR THE CURE OF COLDS, LA GRIPPE, ETC.
Paragon Cold Cure is invaluable in Colds, La Grippe; Malaria, and Fever,
and one capsule night and morning while taking Paragon Blood Tonic is a
sure cure for Neuralgia. Also invaluable in Malarial districts, as when put up
in this shape it affects the head less than the regular quinine does in other
forms. . . . •
J. Lawrence Turner, of the Franklin-Turner ’ Print
ing Co., flunks Paragon for relieving him of his
kidney trouble which perimtted him to pass examina
tion for life Insurance.
Thomas J. Peters, of Little River, Fla., writes and
thanks us for the benefit his wife had from Paragon.
J. II. Sullivan, proprietor of the Konnesaw house.
Marietta, Ga.. writes and says that after suffering
with Indigestion for 35 years, Paragon was tho only

They Call Him Fire Bug Now,
The Htato fire maralml uf Ohio ipake*
the ufltonltfhlng statement that many
diet* in thut *tate und elsewhere are
cauned by the careless uxe of gasoline,
keronlnc und other Inflammable liquids
III fighting that little pest of the house*
hold, the "Clinex Lecturlarlus,*’ or bed
bug as he Is commonly known. Com
menting on measures against this, the
marshul says:
“During the past summer un unusual
number of fires from cremating bed
bugs have been reported.
“These tires do not come from injur
ing gasoline Into a crack and then Im
mediately lighting It (a very common
practice), but, usually, from splashing
gasoline about und then after it has
given off vapor, lighting u match to
illuminate some crevice; or, from pur
suit of tho bug with gasoline by lamp
light. In either cose the vapor of gaso
line mixed with air Is exploded by a
blaze. One building was burned by a
gentleman who, .with murderous Intent,
held a gasoline lump under a nest of
the |*ests.
“The mosquito sings his pray to sleep,
And then he takes a bite.
The bed-bug crawls from head to feet.
And gruzcH ull the night.
“Bed-bug* may be destroyed effec
tively and in a wholesale way by the
nulphur*torche* used In fumigating aft
er contagious diseases. This strangles
the bugs and addles the eggs, but It
fades unaline reds and blues In the
wall paper and vegetable dyes In rib
bons: und It smells, Formaldehyde
fumigation only gives the hugs un add
ed perfume which they don't worry
about. The most satisfactory insecti
cide for hugs Is made by putting one
ounce each of eorrislve sublimate and
chloride of ummoniu In a pint of wood
alcohol. This Is applied with u brush
ull cracks in the Infebted bed or
in. The alcohcl evaporates. leaving
the poisonous crystals on the wood.
The liquid Is dangerous stuff to have
about.
Filling all crevices In beds and base-
boards with soap or better, with paint,
prevents the bugs from finding u happy
home with you. Hut In very old build
ings this hug. though wingless, may
elude the pursuit of the most astute.
The belief that bed-bugs live upon cer
tain woods ts erroneous. The bed-bug
lives by blood ntnne.
“During last summer the explosion;*
resulting from pursuing with gasoline
the bug that gets there tired sixteen
houses, burned five persons danger
ously and four fatally, including two
cnlloren who were helping mamma.
'Moral: Gaxollr.c should be hundlcd
with care."

. G. Darling, auditor of the Ware

titioned tho City council to refund $300
i(f the I3UU license paid by the ex

The petition Is based on Ihe ground
that adverse legislation on the part of

From October 27 to Juno 7, 1907, tie-
petitioner thinks the license fee should

stated that the legislature 1ms made It
Illegal for the exchange "to operate

CITY MA Y PURCHASE
LIGHT AND WATER PLANT
THEN SELF
SIhh IuI to The Georgian.
Brunswick. Ga.,^ Nov. 10.—At the
regular meeting of the city council this
week a light between the city and the
local electric light and water company
was precipitated.
The light ahd water company’s bill
for service for October wak presented
at this meeting, and after discussion
the council refused to approve It, re
ferring the matter to the elty attorney
for legal opinion.
The contract for lights and water
between the city and the light and wa
ter company expired October 1. The
city did not renew the contract, and
asked that arbitrators be named to de
termine the value of the light and wa
ter plant, presumably with a view to
taking under consideration the advisa
bility of the purchase of the plant by
the city.
The light and water comtfeny did not,
however, designate any arbitrators, and
continued to supply water and light to
tho city during the month of October,
us they had during previous months.
Tho refusal of the city to pay these
October bills will doubtless rause
light between the city und the local
plants, which the courts will be called
on lo decide.
