MAKE 1T YOURSELF.

There is so much rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice by an eminent authority
who writes for readers of large East
ern daily paper, will be highly appre-
ciated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces
of Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake
these we'll in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime also drink plenty of good wa
ter.
It is claimed that there are few VIC
Tins of this dread and tortuous disease
who will fail to find ready relief in this
simple homemade mixture, and in
most cases a permanent cure is the re-
suit.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
Of the Kidneys SO that they can filter
and, strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their kid
neys are not healthy and active, or who
suffer from any urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to make up
this mixture, as it is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after awhile.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription, ready to take, il our read
ers ask them.

There is a difference between
enforcing laws for the violation OF
which there is a private injury
coupled with a public wrong, and
enforcing laws for the protection
of the public. If a man is robbed,
for instance, he usually sees to it
that the robher is prosecuted.
If q man Is murdered, the rela-
tives or friends of the murdered
man will generally put the ma
chiuery of the law in motionagainst
the murderer. In each of these
instances there is a private injury
as we'll as a public wrong In bri-
berry, violation of the gambling
laws, the dram-shop laws, or rail-
road rebate laws, there may be no
individual injury, but there is
alwys public injury. Laws of this
kind are the most difficult of en-
forcement, and unless the official
who represents the public takes it
upon himself to see that they are
carried out, they often 60 unen-
forced. They do not enforce them
selves. Without officials to exc
cute them, they are as useless as
guns in war without men behind
them.

Father Leo Heinrichs, the priest
who was murdered by an anarchist
as he administered the sacrament
in a church at Denver, is reported
TO have worn torture devise con-
sisting of chains with sharp hooks
attached. These were found by
his brother priests when the body
was disrobed. The sharp hooks
had penetrated che flesh, which
was in a hardened and roughened
condition from the self-punish-
ment the priest had so long inflic-
ted by way of penance. 1t had
men his habit to readjust the
chains when the hooks had lost
their power to lacerate the flesh
and produce that.exquisite pain.
A sybarite, never knowing such
religious zeal, might welcome death
by an assassin's bullet to escape
such torture.

The hygienic properties of lem
ons, which contains citric acid,
have been we'll known for many
years, but it is only lately that
science discovered the acid was
powerful enough to kill the germs
of typhoid fever in twenty-four
hours. Some typhoid bacilli,
treated with raw lemon juice and
placed in the sunshine, were killed
in two hours, the sunshine proving
a quick agent IN connection with
the medicinal properties of the
fruit. Lemons have been found
beneficial in the worst forms of
smallpox and cholera, so it is we'll
to know the medicinal properties
of harmless, yet powerful, fruit
acid.

Do not think less of q man be-
cause he does not think like you
do; he may be right and yoa
wrong. If man is honest and
conscientious he is everyinch a
man no matter what opinion he
holds. 1t is q narrow-minded
person who will battle a man be-
cause he holds different opinion,
political, religious and otherwise.
Don't be narrow-minded; have
your own beliefs and give your fell
low man the same privilege. If
you would only realize that every
one has a right to his opinion;
that the world belongs to the other
as much as it does to you, and
that his opinion is worth as much
as yours, and nine times out of
ten worth more, there would be
fewer arrogant, bigoted, narrow
minded, selt-righteous people, and
the world would be better off.

To the Voters of the Marietta County
Commission District of Cobb County
Georgia.
Gentlemen Some time ago the
gentlemen whose names are shown on
the enclosed paper petitioned me to al
low them to use my name as a candi-
date for County Commissioner from the
Marietta district. After carefully con-
sidering the matter purely from a
business standpoint land not politicaD
and feeling an interest in the financial
affairs OF our county, and especially in
good roads, and further from having the
assurance that there would be no polit-
ical fight made on me, / consented for
my name to go before the public for this
office. l want you to carefully run over
the list of these petitioners and decide
for yourself if was justifiable in COM
ing to the conclusion that there would
be no political fight made on me. But
now, to my surprise, things are opening
up to the contrary, Hence l am writing
this letter asking, not only these
petitioners, but the voters in this dis
trict, to elect me to this office.
My business is so thoroughly organ
i8ed, with such men as my son Ralph,
j. H. Barnes and Jas. j. Daniel in
charge, that will be able to give most
of my time to the duties Of the office.
This office should be looked at not as
political job, but as a heavy business
responsibility, to be discharged without
fear or favor to the best interest of the
people as a whole. Personally, l have
no axe to grind.
The five County Commissioners will
have charge solely of the county's f.
nancial affairs, viz: such as working
and improving the roads, building and
repairing bridges, the working or hiring
out of the county's convicts, manage
ment of the poor farm, erection and
improvement of public buildings. as
sessment of county tax rate, etc, While
the Commissioners themselves will not
handle any of the public money, they
will draw warrants on the County
Treasurer for the payment of practically
every charge against the county This
will amount probably to $4,000 or $50 :
000,a year.
AS the people of this county we'll
know, have had entrusted to me quite
a good deal more money than this to
handle, and ] leave it to them to say
whether or not have handled 1T sue.
cessfully. l shall treat the county g
affairs even more sacred than do my
own, and, therefore, Will use my best
efforts with the experience of thirty
years in busness) in spending of this
fund.
After viewing the matter carefully
from the above standpoint, l hope the
voters of the Marietta district will see
fit to give me their support.
Very respectfully,
Il. ii. NoRTHoUTT.
