HOT WEATHER ADVICE
BY NATIONAL EXPERT
Few simpIe,- Rules, For Eating and
Drinking During tho Heated
Term.

WASHINGTON, July 9-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, food expert Of the govern
Inent,, has few simple rules for eat
ing and drinking during the heated
term. Here are his commandments:
Eat one fourth less in summer than
in winter.
Eat meat in moderation. Select the
lighter meats.
Danish all alcoholic beverages.
Eat most largely Of cooked fruits
and vegetables. ~ -,.-,
Drink nothing below so degrees in
temperature and drink sparingly. !
Be careful to seek the society of
cheerful friends.
Practice moderation in open-air ex
ercise. -
Don't fret; don't worry.
Thousands of people are made sick
in summer because they do not know
how or what: to eat" observed DIR.
Wiley. But the same criticism ap-
plies to the winter season as well.
Few people follow definite rules. Mod
crate eating, moderate drinking, mod
crate exercise in the open air and
cheerful friends will keep any gooo
man alive throughsathe summer.
Eating zin~sumnsr should be dim

much as the heat energy is one
Quarter less than In winter. -.
Fruits and vegetables are the nor
NAL diet for summer, provided they
are cooked. If eaten raw they should
not be contaminated with pathogenic
bacteria.
Few persons who delight in raw
fruits for breakfast have any idea OF
-pathogen1c bacteria, its appearance. or
its taste, If it has any. So apples,
peaches, grapes and even the delec-
table grape fruit are to be banished
because they may have been contaml-
mated. Steweds prunes are good, if
you like them and the contamination
has been cooked out Of them.
1.-THE festive highball and the more
plebeian "scuttle of suds'' are to- be
put aside. Alcohol when oxidized is
nothing but heat and these summer
days are hot enough. Should more
alcohol be used than is oxidized the
user gets poisoned. 1t is hard to tell
during the heated season when the
alcohol innbibed is going to stop oxid-
izing, SO the safest plan is to cease
imbibing.
Care should be taken against over
Indulgence in very cold drinks or
frozen relishes. On hot days no bev-
erages below 60 degrees. in .tempera-
ture should be taken. Otherwise they
are apt to produce what physician de-
scribe as ice-water dyspepsia. Soda
water and ice cream. are alike bad

THE UNION LABEL AND
WHAT IT STANDS FOR
As Told to an Assembly Of Laborers
BY a Merchant Of Joplin,
Missouri.

First. The union label is a guide
post to labor.
Second. It points to the safe way
in buying.
Third. 1t shows the wage worker
where to find friends among employ
ers. .>
Fourth. The man who demands
the label on clothing, hats, shoes, CT
gars, bread, ETC., knows full we'll that
he is not supporting the sweat-shop
oppressor, but that he is assisting the
wage worker to secure a living wage
tor his work. =: =
Fifth. The union label is the only
lawful, humane and sure way Of gain
ing for the toiler his just rights.
Sixth. Men and women OF this
country begin to realize that the union
label is the key to the arch which will
eventually do away, with strikes, lock-.
outs. and boycotts, and bring about
lasting industrial peace and harmony.

IA STARTLING STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Consumption

The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due
to unchecked dyspepsia, especially
when the victim was predisposed TO
tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable stom-
ach is unable to digest food, the body
does not receive the required nour-
ishment, constipation ensues and the
victim becomes thin weak and hag-
gard. AS a result, the body becomes
fertile field for the germs of dis
ease to lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered
is guilty of contributing toward the
development of one of the most in
sidious and fatal diseases known to
mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly
treated. Dodson's Pharmacy sells al
remedy which they positively guar
antee will cure indigestion or dys-
pepsia or they will pay for all the
medicine used during the trial This
remedy is an absolutely new medical
discovery and has been named Rexall'I
Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no of
fer could be more fair, and the offer
of Dodson's Pharmacy is proof posi-
tive that Rexall Dyspepsit Tablets
are dependable and infallible rene
dy. Inasmuch as the medicine will
cost you nothing if it does not benefit
you we urge you who are suffering
with indigestion or dyspepsia tol
try this remedy. A twenty-five cent
tive that ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets
tains enough medicine for fifteen days
treatment. Remember Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are only sold in Am
ericus by Dodsons Pharmacy.

TO WORK 75
To 100 men
Sumter to Push
Good Road
Work.
ASKS STATE FOR FIFTY
MORE CONWCTS.

The County Commissioners of
Sumter have made a requisition on
the State Prison Commission for 25
misdemeanor and 26 felony convicts.
With these fifty-one convicts added to
our local misdemeanor convicts the
county would have.a continuous work
ing force upon it's public improve
ments of IS to 100 able-bodied men.
1t is not known whether Sumter
can get this number of convicts or
not. Some reports are to the effect
that there will be a much greater de-
mand for the conyicts from counties
working on good roads systems tain
was expected, and that it will be nee
essary to scale down the acquisitions
from the various counties that are
progressive enough to wish an addi-
tional laboring force. However it is
just possible that when the time
for distribution comes it will be pos
sible for Sumter to draw the full
number its Commissioners are after,
in which event dirt would soon be
flying faster than on the Panama ca
nal, hills cut down, roads graded to a
fine point and Sumter given a system
of highways equal to the best in the
state. That, at least, is what the
Commissioners hope to bring about
Two gangs are at work on the
roads now, embracing about forty
misdemeanor negro prisoners. One
gang is operating in the section be-
low Plains, and another goes out next
week into the Fifteenth District
where it will remain for about a
month, leveling up and improving
the highways there
After January 1 a large gang
will be put in the vicinity of Americus,
improving the roads leading out
from this city in several directions.
Americus has not had much use of
the convicts on it's near by roads in
a long time, and will gladly hail the
betterment of the roads leading into
the city.
Nothing further has been done in
the matter of bond issue, although
it is realized that operations must be
seriously hampered and curtailed un-
less funds are obtained in this way.
Ten mules were ordered bought at
the meeting of the Commissioners this
week, and it will be further necessary
to increase the stock and implement
equipment of the county if the road
work is to be pushed vigorously and
with the best results.
The outlook seems to favor de-
cided betterment of the Sumter coun-
ty roads during the next year

JOBBERS CHANGE WAY
OF HANDLING GOODS
Prefer to Dray Stuff to
Railroad Warehouses.

Since the two railroads raised
switching charges from 81 to So
per car the jobbers of Americus have
changed their method of doing bust
ness.
Mr. G. w. Glover, president of the
Glover Grocery Co, stated yesterday
that with the increased switching
charge it had become preferable for
merchants to dray their stuff over
to the railroad warehouse and make
the railroad employees do the actual
loading of the car than to load the
car at their Ow warehouse. In addi-
ton, he stated, the checked receipt is
a greater protection to the jobber
shipping goods. 1t entails considera-
bic more work on the railroad en-
ployes but that is their misfortune.
The jobbers state that they do not
know why the switching charge was
raised several weeks ago from 81 to 81
and it is their belief that the rail-
road is really losing by the change
and the different method pursued by
the shippers as a result of the doub-
ling of this charge.

OUR COTTON CROP
AVERAGES UP WELL
Believed Shortage in Am
eriCuS District is Small.

Many farmers in the Americus dis
trict have been agreeably surprised
to find that thelr cotton crop has
aGme out nrIcG better than they ex-
ted a fef weeks ago, ~hen the
air was full of predictions Ct a de-
cidcd shortage of production in the
territory ounding this city
Warehou semen state that the farm
ers coming in recently have brought
the agreeab news that their crops
are panning ont decidedly better than
they had expcc1ed and that the total
from their far ns would be practically
about the same as last season.
In what may be termed the Amcri-
Gus district 5herg is between 3d.
600 and 40 2aG bates of cotton raised
not all of viii h is marketed here.
1t was frte'y predicted 4 few
weeks back that there would be a
shortage of twenty per cent. in the
crop. but NV the prevailing opinion
seems to le that the shortage, if
any, will. hardly run over 5 per
cent. even if il reaches tf.at proper
ton, some 5e',ering that when the
crop is all in it will be foudn that
this district has sustained its old
time reputation ot averaging UP a
fine crop year after year for half
century.
Sumter comfy and some of the
lands bordering on it are blessed in
this respect, old residents say, ipas
much as year after year the cotton
crop keeps well up to the average
production ami planters are saved
the losses that come to those of
many other secti0us where the crop
is sometimes seriously reduced by
one or other of a half dozen ca,ses.
The crop this year, toe is grading
very much better than last year, so
that the disproportion in prices is not
really as great as appears at first
blush. The cotton in the Americus
district on the whole is probably grad
ing as we'll as that of any similar ex-
tent of country in the state.

and Miss English.

The marriage of Miss Mary George
English and Mr.. Chas Alex Slappey,
at the home of the brides parents, at
Englishville, on Wednesday afternoon,
was pretty event, witnessed by a
large number of the friends of the
young couelp. The house was exquis-
itely decorated for the occasion, the
parlor where the ceremony was per-
formed being converted into bower
of green and flowers, whose frag-
rance filled the house.
Miss Kittie Walker of Enayille,
played the wedding march Miss Min
ME Royal, of Ellaville, acted as maid
of honor and Mr.. Leon d. Slappey, of
Americus, brother of the groom, was
best man. The ceremony was per-

thorpe
After receiving the congratulations
and good wishes of the many assembI-
ed friends the bridal couple went to
the groom's home, near Andersonville.
where a wedding supper was served
with host of friends as guests.
Many beautiful presents evidenced
the high regard in which the bride
and groom are held by their friends
Mr.. Slappey is highly respected far
mer near Andersonville. His bride
is the daughter of Mr.. A. N. English
a well known citizen of that section
of the State, and the sister of Mr. w
l.. English, of Americus. Among

CITY WILL GIVE SITE
FOR WlRZ MONUMENT
u. D. G. Delegates Author
lied to Tender Location.

The City Council at it's meeting
on Wednesday night passed a reso-
luton providing a site for the Wirz
monument, should the Savannah con-
vention of the u D. c., which con
venes next week, award the location
to Americus. No specified place was
fixed for the site, that part being
left to be determined when the need
arose.
Mr.. j. E. Mathis brought the matter
to the attention of the Council AL
derman Allen moved that the repre-
sentatives of the Americus Chapter
to Svanuah be authorized to tender
a site for the monument on behalf
of the city. The motion was carried
unanimously.
Either the city will join with
the county in providing site for
the Wirz monument-the county hav-
ing already donated space in the
courthouse yard-or another site
will be donated in the residential sec
tion of the city But as already stat
ed, this matter will not be decided
until there is need to do so.

HORSE SWAPPING
DAY NEXT TUESDAY
Board of Trade to InaUgu.
rate New Movement.

Tuesday is Horse Swapping Day.
That is the day when horse owners
are invited and expected to bring
their mounts into Americus, to ex-
change or sell. Nearly every owner
considers himself a judge of horse
flesh, but often is desirous of get
ting a better animal, being willing to
pay some boot" The very horse
which one man wants may be un-
desirable for another in some res
poets.
Anyway, it is to be big clear
ance mart for exchanging or other
wise disposing of horses. While no
restrictions will be made as to
where the horses shall be exhibited,
it is probable that in the neighbor-
hood of the court house will be the
most popular section.
For the purpose of securing at
tendance from a wide circle of coun-
try, the Board of Trade which has
the event in charge has inserted adj
vertisements in half dozen weekly
papers in this section of Georgia,
and it is expected that a number of
counties will be represented on
Tuesday. The event has by this
means been well advertised
In other sections these horse
swapping days have been made
great success. In fact in Kentucky
and Tennessee every first Monday is
a horse trading day On such days
the public squares and streets in the
center of town are thronged with
citizens. Trade feels the impetus
of this gathering from all sections of
the country and contiguous territory
The day is also utilized as a meeting
time for families from different sec
tions who live so far apart that an
exchange of visits takes too much
time. These trading days are iii this
manner much made to combine bust
ness and pleasure.
Should the first Swapping Day
be the success anticipated it will
be made permanent feature, either
on each first Monday or at longer
intervals. Once horse owners get
turned to Americus in large num-
bers, the benefits to them will be
very large. 1t is this condition
which the Board of Trade is seeking
to make a reality.

REDUCTION
A SURPRISE
CityCouncilAc-
ton On Gas
Matter.
HAROLD ESTATE BENE-
fICIARIES SHORT TIME

Americus woke up yesterday morn
ing to read in the Times Recorder
that the City Council had passed
the ordinance reducing the price of
gas to $3.50 for lighting and S1.25 for
other purposes-and then rubbed its
eyes to see if it was really awake.
The called meeting of the City
Council held Wednesday night was
arranged during that day and only a
comparatively few persons knew of
the session until they read of it yes
terday morning.
Every gas consumer was of course
glad to hear that the reduction was
to begin with next months bills but.
were inclined to wonder vaguely just
how they were going to secure the
reduction in case the company did
not Voluntarily cut down its bills. In
the more than thirty days between
now and the date set for the reduced
bills the question will no doubt be
given serious thought, unless the
company should announce their inten-
ton of gracefully bowling to the Coun-
Gil ordinance
Dire penalties are imposed if the
company does not make the reduc-
ton ordered, chief among which is
the forfeiture of the right to do busi-
ness in this city.
AC nnt1iOo1 INV A+touvo,,
the City Council, the present owners
of the gas companys bonds and
stocks, the Messrs. Harold, have
not been the holders of the bonds
except for the past year and a half.
Before that time the interest was
sent to Eastern capitalists. No inter-
est has ever been paid on the stock,
interest on the bonds and the Presi-
dents salary being all the returns
received, except in the betterment of
the property.
Referring to their connection with
the gas and electric light company,
Mr.. Thomas Harold yesterday gave
the following interview to a repres-
entative of the Times-Recorder
What Owners Have Received =.
Oar father, Uriah B. Harold, only
came into the possession of the bonds
of the gas and electric light property
early in 1906. The only income he
received from the property was the
interest on the bonds alone for a
little over year before his death,
and his salary of $1,000 per year as
President of the company Since his
death about year ago the estate
has drawn only the interest on the
bonds and nothing on the stock.
For many years previous to this
purchase by my father in 1906, the
interest money was sent out Of Amer
icus to the Northern bondholders
The statement submitted to Council
Wednesday night shows that nothing
whatever has been earned for the
stockholders and nothing set aside
as sinking fund to retire the bonds,
which is required by the mortgage,
and as a matter of fact about $4,000
interest is still unpaid on the bonds,
all other earnings going back into
the property for necessary repairs,
extensions and improvements de-
manded by the public"
