An Apple Eater.
From Chambers Journal.

During a visit 10 the south of England a
gentleman was met with who related a
unique and most interesting experience in
dietetics. II was that for the last three
years he had lived on one meal a day and
that meal was composed chiefly OF apples !
Further astonishment was evoked by his
reply to my question as to what he drank,
whom he stated that the juices of the APP
pies supplied him with all the moisture or
drink he needed; this, he claimed was of
the purest kind, being In reality water dis
tiled by nature. and favored with the
pleasant aroma of the apple. He partook
of his one meal about O'clock in the
afternoon, eating what he felt satisfied
him, the meal occupying him from twenty
minutes to half an hour. He looked the
picture Of healthful manhood, and Is en-
gagged daily in literary work.

TO OUR READERS.

For the first time in her history,
Brunswick now has an eight page news
paper.
The average reader does not fully
comprehend the difference of four pages,
but there Is vast difference inssmuch
as the size is doubled and amount of
reading matter treated the same way.
The expense of conducting the TINES
CALL is in ths neighborhood of one
thousand dollars per month, but we
nave faith in the people of our fair lit
tic city, and believe that we can depend
upon them TO support the enlarged pap
or because 1t is to their interest to do
so.
Remember every dollar we get is paid
to Brunswick workmen and they in
turn pay it to Brunswick merchants.
The money which you pay us remains
light here at home, supports home in
dustries and homo business men.
We have no political strings tied to us,
and Therefore are free TO discuss public
questions in non-par. isan manner. II
spublic officer should be commended
we are the very folks to tell the people
of his worth and if he needs criticising
the taxpayers of the community can
rest assured that his short comings will
be made public through the TINES
CALL.

A JUST VERDICT.

Mr.. Hoodenpyle was acquitted by the
city court yesterday, and there is no
doubt but that everyone of the gentle
men who were arrested on warrants
sworn out by Mr.. Krauss will get like
verdicts.
The jurors of this county are not mar,
row minded, and that being the case
nothing but not guilty verdict could
haYe been rendered. The curt house
is not the place to settle personal differ
ences. and we hope yesterdays trial will
keep out of the temple of justice such
cases.
The TIMES CALL commends the twelve
men who served as jurors on this case.
They did the proper thing, and public
opinion backs them.
The Brunswick times-call., 1900-08-16
GO DEEPER, GENTLEMEN.

The TINES CALL is gratified at the
steps taken by Governor Gambler ant
the prison commissioners relative to the
treatment OF convIcts. Those who arr
so unfortunate as to land in the Georgis
penitentiary should at least be treate-
as human beings. There are still num-
Der Of convict camps that need atten'
ton, and we sincerely hope that the Of
ficials will 60 deeper into this very i'm
portant question.

STOP 1T, DAN.

Mr.. Daniel Krauss Is nice little fell

awful mistake about this Sunday selling
Of soda, etc. II Mr.. Krauss was solicI-
tor there would be some excuse for his
foolIshness, but he is not. He is jus,
simply little Daniel, and if Dan does not
hold up he is going to grow even small
er than he is at present. The case
against Mr.. Butts has not as yet been
tried, but there is no donbt about him
coming clear. A man who will defy
Daniel and dispense .cool drinks to suf-
ferers Is public benefactor ms cad of a

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that IS by constitutional remedies.
Deafness IS caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in>
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing; and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its al con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in famed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

-Four years ago ex-Congressman John
