WOMANKIND
RECLINE AT MEALS,
THIS DOCTOR SAYS

Now comes a physician with the
grave assertion that TO have perfect
health ono must not sis at a table in
the conventional way, but must revive
the Roman way of reclining al meals
Nor does he confne himself TO that~ad-
vice. for he also counsels breakfsllns
in bed. His explanation is that "ii
this age of rush there IS far too little
rest for the muscles aud organs. Peo-
pie tear nadly about and are on the
strain all day. They stand too much,
even when sitting. they arc generally
sitting 'up. and the strain is almose
as great in this position as when stand
ing The opportunity of reclining
should be taken at meals when possi-
ble." this doctor goes on. "The Ro-
mans knew this we'll. and used couches.
not chairs. at their meals They knew
that while digestion was going on the
body should be kept as quiet as pos
sible. ! should not care to say that
sitting at meals is actually harmful.
but a trial might as well be given 10
the other method. It is only possible,
of course. to do this in ones own
home. but there it certainly should be
experimented with. IL is good thine.
too. to breakfast in be0 occasionally.
II means eating leisurely. Most peo-
ple bolt their breakfast and rush TO
catch train. More reclining, too.
should be done. The introduction of
sofas into offices might prove a stimu-
lus TO workers. Try resting your legs
and body on a sofa for an hour or two
in the afternoon. after working all the
morning. It will mean = clearer brain
and more ability TO concentrate on youi
work afterward."

HAPPY DISCOVERY
Looking for Medicine, Found Food.

In looking for recommended remedy
in a newspaper, a sick woman found
The food which restored her to health.
She writes:
About three years ago a spell of
sickness left me so weak that it was
an eXertion to move my hand.
MY appetite was gone and what
little 1 did eat, distressed me so
had better left II alone. The doctor saw
! was getting weaker and advised me
to take cod liver oil, but my stomach
would not tolerate it,
Then I was told to take egg-nog with
stimulants to strengthen me, but that
did not agree with me. / was getting
discouraged. when a lady sent me a
paper in which there was medicine
advertised which she thought might
help me.
Tn looking through the paper I saw
an adv. telling how strengthening was
Grape Nuts food. Strength was what
] was after, so sent for a package of
Grape-Nuts.
Il was so bad that the cream used
with this food, distressed me, so 1 took
one te- s',o onful Of dry Grape Nuts and
ute it. using no LIQUID until 1 was
through.
ITO my surprise felt no bad effect
The next time took two teaspoonfuls
with the same result. It was not long
before could eat three teaspoonfuls
with the result. that was gaining
strength and my stomach was feeling
much better.
Il knew 1t was owing to the Grape
Nuts because that was all / was eating
1t was not long then, until / could ca
cream with the Grape Nuts and no dis.
tress. From then on all was well, anC
there are very few meals eaten at ou
table without Grape Nuts"

SHOT FROM THE DARK
Stewart County Farmer Fired Upon
at His Home.

The Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise
gives an account of an attempt to as
sassinate Mr.. Gilbert Harmon, far
fner, who lives in the southern part
of Stewart county.
Mr.. Harmon heard noise In his
back yard, and on going out to ascer-
tain the Cause he received the con-
tents of a shotgun just as he was 60
ing down the steps, the load taking
effect in one of his teet. Mr.. Har-
mon sent for BP. w. w. Binion, who
dressed the wound The doctor says
that evidently whoever fired the shot
was not over ten or twelve feet from
his victim Notwithstanding the
wound is very painful one the ply
stefan thinks the foot can be saved
if blood poison doesn't set up.
Mf, Harmon had some trouble last
fall with a white tenant, and in a
few nights someone burned his barn
with all it's contents, and it is thought
the tenant was the one who set the
barn on fire. and he is also suspected
of being the party who shot Harmon.
We learn he has been arrested on
suspicion, and put in Jail in Lumpkin.

RODDENBERY's RECORD.
Charged With Voting Republican

Charged With Voting Republican
Ticket in Thomas County.
The Cuthbert Acknowledgements,
in it's last issue, threw bomb into
the camp of Candidate S. A. Rodden-
berry. 1t makes a charge against the
Townsville aspirant for congress
that is nothing less tLan sensational.
The Liberal-Enterprise says:
Judge Rodaenbery spent two days
last week in Randolph going from
place to place trying, by artful mis-.
representations of Judge GrigSs' rec
ord, to misleed the people. The peo-
pie are fast learning that Rodden-
berry has a record that will not hold
water, and that he had better be
patching up his own record instead
of trying to make holes in the records
of others.
1T is claimed and asserted, by
those who know, that he left the dem
ocratic party in 1900 and voted the
republican ticket, and that he aided
the republicans in carrying Thomas
county for the republicans that year.
He was charged to his face with
these facts at Springvale on the
night of April the 22nd, and did not
deny them"

SALOON LICENSES INCREASE
MORE ISSUED IN GEORGIA THAN
BEFORE PROHIBITION.

l. CatlOnS Dy Scores
| The Savannah Press prints the fol-
lowing from it's Atlanta representa-
Tive.
| URited States revenue officials of
this state are expecting to sell dur
ing the present year about five times
as many retail liquor licenses as were
disposed of in Georgia last year, be-
fore prohibition went into effect. The
number already disposed of far ex-
coed those sold during the CORES
ponding period last year, and appli-
cations are coming at the rate of
scores every day.
While many more federal retail
! licenses will be sold the revenue de-
rived by the federal government from
the sale of Intoxicating liquors will
not be as great as before prohibition
went into effect, but 1T will not fall
| far below previous records.
The many licenses that are being
issued are due to the growing sale of
'near-beer," which under the recent
decision of the court of appeals may
be sold so long as it contains alcohol
of insufficient quantity to produce in
toxication if drunk to excess. No
such standard prevans in the United
States revenue regulations. If drink
contains more than one-half of one
per cent of alcohol retailer of the
same is subject to- tax of $2J. This
includes the "near-beers," which

i It is stated that since the court de-
cision was handed down every brew
cry in the state has begun the manu-
facture of a soft drink in fmita-
ton of the foaming lager. At pres
ent a majority of the establishments
are turning out more of the product
than they did of real beer during
the past several years. Their futures
are bright, as it is stated on good
authority, if the prohibition law re-
mains as it now is, their business
will grow more. than four or five fold.
On each barrel of the drink they are
required to pay Uncle Sam one dol
lar, the same as was paid on real
beer when the local option law pre-
vailed.
With spirituous liquors excluded
from the state and with the wide
range of opportunity afforded the
breweries in the 'near-beer" fielG
there is little question that the pres
ent law, if allowed to stand as it is
now, will work to the brewers mate
rial benefit.
The above, which is merely mar
ration Of facts as supplied by gov
eminent official, illustrates an anus
ing contradiction of the prohibition
law--which is that, under the de-
scription of the internal revenue reg
ulations,~ there will be four or five
times as many "retail liquor dealers"
in Georgia as there were before the
law was adopted and put in force

ANOTHER KiIiLlLING in CALHOUN.
In Duel With shotguns Charles
Turner Killed Aaron Robinson.

ASODAANSO@A''
Aaron Robinson and Charles Tur-
ner, who lived in Calhoun county
near Morgan became involved
in a dispute over the whip
ping of a mule by Turner. Both men
secured their guns and exchanged
shots, without effect.
The wives of the two men went to
them and disarmed them, thinking
the matter was thus settled, but
Turner had 3S-caliber revolver,
which he drew and opened fire on
Robinson. He fired three shots, the
last taking effect. Robinson was
shot through the heart and fell dead.
Turner fed to parts unknown.
Sheriff Davis was on the scene
soon after the tragedy, but no trace
of the slayer could be found. The
impression prevails that the killing
was justifiable.
