IS CHILD CROSS,
’ FEM, SICK
Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give ‘‘California
Syrup of Figs.”
Children love this “fruit laxative,”
and nothing else cleansesj the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result Is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver'gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of “California
Syrup of Figs,” and in a few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passeq out of the sys
tem, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give “California
Syrug of Figs” because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it nev
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of “California Syrup of Figs,” which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.
LITTLE CHANCE TO LAND HIM
Either Young Man Was Very Slow or
the Bait Was Not Sufficiently
Attractive.
Reginald Vanderbilt said at a pre-
Easter wedding in New York:
"How interesting it would be if we
could know how all these pretty wed
dings came about! Often, no doubt,
the girls themselves brought them
about, unless, indeed, the man was
too inordinately dense, like Travers.
“Travers met a pretty girl last win
ter in Bermuda. He danced with her,
he wheeled with her for strawberries
and cream, and he bathed with her in
the pretty blue pool with its lining of
azure tiles.
“But he didn't propose. Was he too
bashful? The girl, at any rate, one
afternoon in- a tea garden, offered to
read his future, and, holding his big
brown hand in her slim white one,
she murmured, as her finger moved
delicately across his palm:
“ ‘This line indicates that before
you lies—happiness.'
She paused with downcast eyes.
But nothing followed. The young man
sat beside her, grinning sheepishly.
Her lip curled in disdain, and she
added, In a clear, cold voice:
“ ‘But this other line indicates that
you'll never overtake that future.
You're too slow.’ ”
Where He Was.
“If you are innocent,” said a lawyer
to his client, an old darkey, who was
charged with stealing a ham, “we
ought to be able to prove an alibi.”
“I don' 'specs we kin,” the turkey
replied, doubtfully.
“At what time was the ham stolen?"
“ 'Bout lebben er-clock, dey say.”
“Well, where were you between
eleven o'clock and midnight—in bed?”
"No, sah, I was hidin' de ham.”
NO GUSHER
But Tells Facts About Postum.
A Wis. lady found an easy and safe
way out of the ills caused by coffee.
She says:
“We quit coffee and have used Pos
tum for the past eight years, and
drink it nearly every meal. We never
tire of it.
“For several years previous to quit
ting coffee I could scarcely eat any
thing on account of dyspepsia, bloat
ing after meals, palpitation, sick head
ache —in fact was in such misery and
distress I tried living on hot water
and toast.
“Hearing of Postum I began drink
ing it and found it delicious. My ail
ments disappeared, and now I can eat
anything I want without trouble.
“My parents and husband had about
the same experience. Mother would
often suffer after eating, while yet
drinking coffee. My husband was a
great coffee drinker and suffered from
indigestion and headache.
“After he stopped coffee and began
Postum both ailments left him. He
will not drink anything else now and
we have it three times a day. I could
write more but am no gusher —only
state plain facts."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for a copy of the
famous little book, “The Road to M ell
ville.”
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum—must be well
boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum —is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious beverage
Instantly. 30c and 50c tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is
about the same.

WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE. ALAMO, GEORGIA
WARM SITUATION
IN STATE POLITICS
FELDER AND HARDWICK HAVE
ANNOUNCED AS SOUTH GEOR-
GIA’S CANDIDATES.
WEST HAS NOT DECIDED
Much Interest In Senator Smith’s
Position, Both Being His
Supporters.
Washington.—The Georgia senato
rial situation waxes warm —-at least
among the Georgia contingent in and
around Washington. While nobody
here was surprised at the announce
ment of Congressman Hardwick that
he would be in the race as the late
Senator Bacon's successor, general
surprise was created at the apparent
I
\X \
Senator West, appointed by Governor
Slaton to fill the place made vacant
by the death of the late Senator A.
O. Bacon, until the next regular elec
tion.
conflict between him and Attorney
General T. 8. Felder, who also an
nounces for the place—both as south
Georgia candidates.
Attorney General Felder has been
here for several days on business and
it was from Washington that he
wired to friends in Macon announc
ing his candidacy for the senate to
succeed the late Senator Bacon.
By a strange coincident his an
nouncement and the Harwick an
nouncement that he would not be a
candidate again for the house of rep
resentatives were sent out on the
same date.
There is considerable gossip here
among the Georgia members, who are
commenting on the coincidence of
the two announcements going out the
same date. While, of course, nobody
knows, the general impression here
is that each thought that the other
was‘to be a candidate and each
stated to see which could get to the
tank first. As it happens both an
nouncements got to Georgia at the
same time.
Heretofore the relations between
Hardwick and Felder have been ex
ceedingly close, both' having been
zealous supporters of Senator Hoke
Smith in all of his contests. Senator
Smith has made.no announcement as
to his posistion in this contest, other
than to say he has not sought to
bring out any candidate and that any
announcement that may be made
must come from the candidates them
selves and not as representing him or
his attitude as regards the political
situation in Georgia.
The fact that both Hardwick and
Felder are to announce for the south
Georgia place leads practically every
member of the Georgia delegation to
the belief that West will be a candi
date to seucceed himself for Senator
Bacon’s, unexpired terra.
, Felder Would Enjoin Plant.
Attorney General T. S. Felder filed
in the supreme court at Washington
a motion to enter a permanent in
junction against the Ducktown Sul
phur, Copper and Ir.on company, and
compel it to abate the nuisance
caused by the sulphorous fumes
This action has followed years of
negotiations between the state of
Georgia and the offending Ducktown
plant. The motion was made^pur
suant to instructions from the gov
ernor and following action taken by
the general assembly.

Food Crop Campaign in State.
Commissioner of Agriculture Price
is back in his office after more than
two weeks’ campaigning with Ento
mologists Worsham and others in a
series of public meetings in south
west Georgia, covering border coun
ties from Muscogee down.
The purpose of these meetings was
to arouse the people on the subject of
turning their attention to food crops,
stock-raising and other lines in get
ting ready for the boll weevil. Com
missioner Price said the interest ev
erywhere was great and the attend
ance *at the meetings large and en
thusiatic.
"We wound up around Hazlehurst,
Douglas and Blackshear," he said.
“That is a fine section of Georgia,
and the people down that way are
very much alive to the general situa
tion. They are taking a great deal of
interest in stock-raising and food
crops.
“Here is a fact that 1 wish to dall
attention to in this connection,'’ he
continued. “Our sales for January of
food and feeding stuff stamps fell far
below that of January a year ago.
This indicates pretty clearly that the
farmers of the state have home-rais
ed supplies of this nature on hand
to a greater extent than usual and
are not having to buy so much as
formerly. You travel around the
state a bit as I have been doing and
you will find the farmers /ire making
very distinct progress in every direc
tion."
The agricultural department turned
over to the treasury department $25,-
000. arising from the sale of pure
food stamps. This money will he di
vided among the eleven district ar
ricultural schools.
Sale A., B. & A. Properties Ordered.
Hon. Don A. Pardee of Atlanta, a
judge of the federal court of appeals
for the fifth judicial curcuit, has is
sued an order directing Victor Lamar
Smith, master commissioner for the
long standing litigation between the
Old Colony Trust company of Boston,
trustee, plaintiff, and the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railway
and the Georgia Terminal company,
defendants, to advertise the proper
ties indicated for sale on Wednesday,
April 22.
The order of the sale just issued
by Judge Pardee is based upon an
order by himself July 5, 1913, in
which he directed a foreclosure of re
corded mortgages held by the Old
Colony Trust company.
Owners of Autos to Fight Tax.
Stirred by the news that a bill will
be introduced at the next session of
the Georgia legislature to impose a
graded tax on automobiles, the At
lanta Auto and Accessory association,
at its annual meeting launched defi
nite plans for the organization of a
state-wide automobile association.
President C. J. Haden of the Geor
gia chamber o.f commerce, appeared
before the association and he correct
ed the impression that the caamber
is behind the bill as a method of rais
ing a fund demanded by the federal
government for the erection of pub
lic highways.
Atlanta Baptists Raise $50,000.
The Baptists of the Atlanta
association have raised since
February I, when work was begun,
$55,330.50 toward the SIOO,OOOO they
have pledged themselves to give in
conjunction with another SIOO,OOO
from the Baptists throughout the
state of Georgia, which is to be used
in erecting one of the most modern
Christian hospitals in the southland.
The board of trustees of the Georgia
Baptist hospital, who are charged
with the promotion of this enterprise,
have worked faithfully. They have
reached the point in the campaign
when a vital effort must be made to
finish raising the funds, and they now
call ppon all citizens of Atlanta and
Georgia to come to their aid.
Hospital for Negroes Needed.
Gov. John M. Slaton has placed his
stamp of high approval upon the work
for the benefit of a hospital for taking
care of negroes suffering from conta
gious diseases.
“As long as we have negroes, upon
whose cleanliness depends our own
health, to cook for us,” said Governor
Slaton, "as long as we have negroes,
who may bring disease int oour own
homes, to wash our clothes, and as
long as we have servants who must
be continually in our houses, a great
concern about their health must enter
into a consideration of our own
health.
“This is a purely selfish but highly
important viewpoint. As a work for
humanity it endorses itself.
“The case is similar to that of the
wealthy plantation owner, who living
in his mansion upon the hill imagined
he had no interest in the children who
lived in a little cottage at the foot of
the hill. But when those children be
came infected with meningitis and
gave the malady to his own children
he developed a lasting interest in their
welfare.”
