DON'T NEGLECT a COLD
Neglected Colds Lead to Consumption.
How Consumption Develops

y
Nine cases Of consumption out Of ten

A person catches cold. The cold 70 not

by no treatment whatever or some treat.
ment that is Intellectual, and tho cold
continues.
Then another cold 10 caught and e|
cough develops. Cough syrups are re-
sorted to, but they give only temporary
relief.
BY and by the patient gets tired of
taking medicines and cough syrups and
gives up in despair.
The cold continues to develop and zlo
cough grows worse.
Then the doctor is called In, only to-
discover that the patient is in the first
stages Of consumption.
It was just in this way that Miss
Powell, Of Aurora, Ind, became sick.
She caught cold, and not considering

PERIL IN WATER CRESS.
Parasite Discovered Which Leads do
Typhoid, DrOpsy and Death.

Physicians familiar with the poliu-
ton Of the drinking water supplied to
Philadelphia were surprised to learn
recently that the state board Of health
has discovered another vehicle by
which disease may be introduced into
the human system. Water cress, which
is sold in great quantities in Philadel-
phia, has been found to possess a pc
culiar parasite which attacks the liver
and in a few days creates a dropsical
condition, which usually ends in the
death of the person attacked. The
state board is to give the subject es-
pecial attention and to adopt stringent
regulations. which may go so far as
to forbid entirely the sale Of the green,
says the New York Press.
The cress in which the parasitic life
was found had been grown in swampy
land, in which the water that fed the
slender roots was contaminated. DIR.
Lee, secretary of the board, placed
himself in communication with the
grower and issued a peremptory COM
mand that he make no further ship
ments to Philadelphia.
1t is now believed that large per-
centage of typhoid fever, which has af-
ficted Philadelphia for years and at
tributed to the sewage laden water of
the Schuylkill river has been caused
by the contaminated water cress.. The
dropsy, which comes three or four days
after it is eaten, is only one form of
disease produced by the mysterious
parasite. The doctors now engaged In
the investigation are of the opinion
that the contaminated cress is respon-
sible for many cases Of typhoid as well
as for the enlargement of the liver and
the consequent development of dropsy

BIG DECREASE IN TAG SALES
Less Than Hall as Much Fertilizers
Sold During Month of January
as Was a Year AGO.

The sale of fertilizer tags by the de-
partment of agriculture for last month
shows decrease of more than % per
cent as against the same month IN
1904. This would indicate that the
farmers are going to plant a gooo
deal less cotton this year than they
did last. In January, 1904, the sales
of fertilizer tags amounted to Sl4,-
657.S5, while the sales for the month
of January. 1905, figure out only 81
253. 20. These figures will prove in
teresting reading matter to the farm
ers of the state. They show that the
farmers of Georgia are going to plant
good deal less cotton than they did
last year,
Commissioner Stevens feels highly
yratifed over the decreased sale OF
guanos, taking it as an indication
that that the cotton planters OF Geor-
gia are going to stand by the New
Orleans convention.

WAS A BOGUS VANDERBILT
Pittsburg Was Beside Herself With
Pleasure for Only a Few
Hours Recently.

Pittsburg was beside herself with
pleasure for several hours a few days
ago. A handsome and well-dressed
stranger aoated into town. A negro
porter addressed him as MAS. ALT, ]"
and received a $40 bill as tip. The
negro forthwith spread the report that
the stranger was none other than AL
fred G. Vanderbilt, for whom he had
worked several years. Forthwith peo-
pie began to fall over each other S
heels to serve "Mr. Vanderbilt" and
the young man was kept busy paying
out money. He seemed to have plenty
of it and didn't mind in the least sep
arating himself from bills of large de-
nominations. Then the newspapers got
interested and started the telegraph
wires to working. 1t was learned that
the real Alfred G.. Vanderbilt was in
New York, but the Pittsburgers per-
mitted the counterfeit Vanderbilt to
90 on scattering wealth during the
whole of one evening. 1t is believed
he was Mr.. John Smith of POdunk,
but he certainly had money to burn.
And he burned it.

Monument to Cherokees.

chase of the old Cherokee capitol build

memory Of the brave warriors and able
statesmen of the nation, says the Kan
sas City Star. They will ask the Chero-
kee council to assist with an appropr1-
alton. the council house of the Chero-
KEGS is the most historic Of any of the
Indian nations. On the walls OF the
council chamber and the chiefs office
hang portraits of every chief the ma
ton has had since the Cherokee5
moved to this country. The preserva-
ton of the capitol buildings and
grounds is purely a matter Of senti-
ment, but there are many Cherokees
who have left the impress of their
work on the United States, and now in
the twilight Of their nations existence
they believe that a monument to ma
ton that is passing might well DE pre-
served.

DECREASE IN THE USE OF DRUGS
Amount of Medicine Taken Rapidly
Growing Less Every Year.

In an interview few days ago Prof
Musser, of the medical faculty of the
University of Pennsylvania, remarked
on the very great decrease in the use
of drugs and the change in character
of doses that were poured down the
throats of persons suffering illness.
DR.. Musser is not only a leader OF his
profession by reason of his connection
with the university, but also from the
fact that he is member of the nation
al commission that is making a fight
against pneumonia. Therefore, when
he asserts that the use of drugs in the
treatment of diseases will continue to
diminish, his opinion is worthy Of
highest respect. He believes that the
time is not far distant when the medi-
cal man will devote more attention to
the prevention of disease than to its
cure. And then possibly we may have
something like the Chinese system. In
China the family physician is paid so
long as his charges remain in good
health; when they fall i'll his pay is
stopped until he brings them around
to health again. Just the reverse is
true in this and other ''nOn-heathen"
countries.
The work of the physician of the
future, says Prof. Musser, will be to
,,,o,rant disease. to build I'D weak con-
situations and to teach the people to
live correctly. Probably the majority
of diseases are the results of incor-
rect living. Most diseases are pre-
ventable. Even IA number of the So
called incurable diseases are prevent
able. But human nature is prone to
carelessness, until it is too late.
Half a century ago nearly every
drug store lived on the prescriptions
it compounded. 1t is not so now

CONGRESSIONAL Hoss SWAP.
How Mont Cochran of Missouri Co.
the Best of an Ozark Trader.

How Mont Cochran of Missouri Coz
the Best of an Ozark Trader.
Representative Mont Cochran of the
Fourth Missouri district, who spent the
holidays in the OZarks with his son.
Charles W. Cochran on his farm near
West Plains, Mo. has been the most
talked about man in the town for the
last few days because he got the best
of a horse trader in a "hoss swap"
says a West Plains (Mo.) correspondent
of the Kansas City Star. The story is
told all the way from West Plains to
the Arkansas state line because ten
derfoot who gets the best of a horse
trader is greater hero in the eyes of
the Ozark mountaineer than the victO-
rious general of a Japanese army.
One day while Congressman Cochran
was inspecting fruit trees in his or
chard the horse trader came along driv-
ing a pair of fairly good looking ami
mails. This dealer in horsefesh Is
known all over southern Missouri as
the best snapper in the country. Up
to the time he met Congressman COch-
ran he had never been skinned in a
trade" to use the vernacular of the
horse trader.
Congressman, how'll you swap that
gray mare O. your'n for this boss here
on the off side" bantered the horse
trader after the usual greetings had
been exchanged.
For some time the congressman had
wanted to dispose of this horse, and
here was a chance.
"How much will you give me to
boot?" inquired Cochran.
give dollars, and We'll swap hoOf
and hide" was the answer of the horse
trader
You're traded with" came the quick
response from the Fourth district con-
gresham.
A boy employed ON the farm brought
the gray mare from the barn While the
horse trader took the harness from the
animal which the congressman had
Just acquired. Then the money consid-
Grafton in the deal was paid, and Con
gresham Cochran had made his first
deal in hOrsefesh. The horse trader al
tered the harness and "hOOked up" the
gray mare with his remaining horse.
With a pleasant adieu he drove away,
while everybody about the Cochran
farm was leaning over the fence
watching for the fun which was sure
to come. The team had gone. scarcely
forty rods before the gray mare baked.
Nothing could move her. Neither en-
treaties nor abuse would induce the an
imal to proceed: The horse trader
swore, and after exhausting every
known remedy to make the mare move
on he returned to Congressman Coch-
ran and demanded his money back and
the return of his horse.
"Not much" answered Cochran. I'm

NEGRO COMPANIES MUST GO
Governor and Advisers Have Decided
That COlored Troops Are Use
less in Every Way.

Governor Terrell and the adiutant
general and Inspector general have
practically decided to abolish the col
ored military companies in Georgia.
Experience has shown that the colored
troops are entirely useless. They
have never been called on to do SER
vice of any kind, and the state is not
particularly proud of them.
The refusal of Governor Terrell to
allow colored company to go to
Washington served to bring matters
to a focus. The disbanding of these
companies will be passed on by the
military advisory board at its next
meeting, which will be held in the
spring. There are five companies in
the state, three in Savannah, one in
Augusta and one in Macon.
