Liver Laxative.

Now is the time of the year when
almost every one suffers from indi-
gestion in one form or another, and
if neglected it results in more of the
ills that flesh is heir to than any
other one thing.
Worry, neglect, over-eating, bad
cooking, etc, produce it commonly
and it can be known by the following
symptoms: dizziness, foul breath
sluggishness, sour stomach, weak
ness in back, irritability, constipa-
ton, dyspepsia. heart palpitation
diarrhoea, sick headaches, heart
burn, flatulency cramps in stom-
ach, etc.

TO LEAVE SUMTER
FOR IDAHO
Farmer SwedenbOrg to Re.
turn to the Northwest.

Mr. p T. Swedenborg, the we'll
known Swedish farmer, who came to
Sumter county some six years ago
from Minnesota, announces that it is
his intention to sell out and return
to the Northwest. This time his
destination will be Idaho, in the
southern section of which he has
lhomesteaded quarter section of 100
acres of irrigated land, where he
will make his home in close associa-
ton with two married daughters and
a son.
The news of Mr. Swedenborgs in
tention will be received with genu-
inc regrets by all who know him, and
especially by those who have been
interested in following his career as
a farmer here, and have entertained
the hope that he would be instrument
tai in bringing other Swedes to this
|country
Il am not leaving because / am at
all dissatisfied with this section, with
the climate, or the people, or the re-
suits of farming here" said Mr..
|Swedenborg to a Times Recorder rep
resentative yesterday II am going
back West simply and solely because
my Oldest children are there and
fear the others will want to join
them, leaving me without labor as
get older. l cannot manage negro
labor to advantage, but with my
children could be assured of contin-
ued success as a farmer l believe
this section meets every requirement
for fine living and a comfortable
home, and l had fully intended to
spend the remainder of my life on my
farm here. But the children are in
sisting that l join them and l have
finally decided to do so. Southern
Idaho, where | am going, is a most
promising country, the irrigated lands
give fine harvests, and | am satisfied
there is good money to be made in
cultivating them. The government
allows settlers ten years in which
to pay it back for the water rights
with the homesteaded lands"
Mr.. Swedenborg has farm out on
the Smithville road, about a mile and
a half from the CITY, He has never
planted cotton, but has devoted his
energies to vegetables, poultry, hogs
and to the making of butter. He has
been very successful ever since he
secured the place, and found a steady
market for his products in Americus
and was one of the few farmers who
might be said to have had daily
income from the sale of the output
of their places. He will dispose of
his stock, feed, furniture, ETC., at pub
lie outcry on next Wednesday, and
the farm later on.

SOUTH SIDE Is SEEKING
system OF SEWERAGE
Council Asked to Extend
the Mains.

A petition signed by several hun
dred citizens will be presented the
Council tonight, requesting an ex-
tension of the water and sewerage
system out on the south side which
is rapidly becoming one of the most
thickly populated residence sections
of Americus. Council is thus re-
quested to extend these greatly need
ed utilities on Hancock. Harold,
Jackson avenue, Bell and other streets
in that immediate locality, where
many handsome homes have recently
been erected and others in contem-
plation, as such utilities are already
an absolute necessity. 1t is general
ly believed that such improvements
are decidedly more imperative than
the opening of additional streets
through sparsely settled localities,
and the hundred or more property
owners on the south side hope for
favorable consideration at the hands
of council tonight,

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss Of Appetite or Distress After
Eating a Symptom That Should
Not Be DlSTegarded.

Appetite is just a natural desire
for good. Loss of appetite or stom-
ach distress after eating indicate in
digestion or dyspepsia. Over-eat-
ing is habit very dangerous to a
persons good general health, and in
satiable appetite is a sure symptom
of diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than
a disordered stomach, and many peo-
pie daily contract serious maladies
simply through disregard or abuse
of the stomach. B
We urge everyone in Americus who
is suffering from any stomach de-
rangement, indigestion or dyspepsia,
whether acute or chronic, to try
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the
distinct understanding that we will
refund their money without question
or formality, if after reasonable use
of this medicine, they are not per-
fectly satisfied with the results. We
recommend them to our customers ev-
cry day, and have yet to hear of any
one who has not been benefited by
them. We honestly believe them to
be without equal. They are made
from the prescription of a physician
who devoted all his time to the
study and treatment of stomach trou-
bles. They give very prompt relief,
neutralize the gastric juices, strength
en- the digestive organs, Gre
ate good digestion, and assim-
ilation, naturally regulate the
bowels, promote perfect nutrition
and create a permanent cure of all
unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try 25c box OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives
Is days treatment At the end oi
that time, your money will be re-
turned to you if you are not satisfied
OF course, in chronic cases length
of treatment varies. For such cases
we have two large sizes, which sell
for 45c and 89c Dodson's Phar.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
MATTER MAY BE UP

The city council meets in regular
session tonight. The only question OF
Importance in the way of unfinished
business likely to be up is that of a
new school building.
At a recent meeting it was decided
to communicate with the Rees heirs
with view of securing quit claim
to a large section of Rees park to be
used as location for new school
building. 1t is possible that the school
committee has some information on
the subject. A plan is also before the
council to build small school on
Brooklyn Heights.

JUNGLE SAM
NOW READY
Americus Post
office Con
tract.
Sealed Proposals Wanted
On New Building.

Uncle Sam" is now ready to start
work upon the new Government build
ing to be erected in Americus, and
proposes to make start thereupon
in December, when the contract will
have been let and everything is in
readiness to carry the work to COM
pletion
For when a beginning is made the
building will be erected without any
wearisome delays.
The proposed start has been a year
in coming but Uncle Sam never hur-1
ries. However what he does is done
thoroughly, with the necessary cash
to push it.
Elsewhere in the Times Recorder
this morning is the advertisement for
sealed proposals from the Treasury
Department at Washington for the
construction of the Americus post
office building, in accordance with
the drawings to be submitted.
All proposals must be sent in by
December 26 at 3 o'clock p. m.
Plans OF the Building
Drawings and Specifications of the
building can be seen at the office of
the site, presumably Postmaster Nit
chell, and after Friday next, goth.
or at the office of supervising archi-
tect in Washington.
The information that work upon
the postoff1ce building is at last to
be started will be of greatest inter-
est to all citizens here.
The site, one of the handsomest in
any Georgia city, located in the heart
of the business district of Americus
and fronting three business streets
was purchased two years ago by the
Treasury Department at a cost of
$4,000, or nearly one third of the
appropriation made.
The expenditure of such part of the
original appropriation-only $50,OOO-I
necessitated the resultant delay, as
the remaining sum, $4,000, was not
enough for building
More Money for Building
The matter was taken up by Con-
gresham Lewis, Senator Clay and
others, and at the next session ofI
Congress an additional appropriation
of $4,000 was made for the Americus
buildingf, bringing the amount to be
thus utilized in building construction
alone up to 100000
And there will be additions to this,
it is expected, from time to time, and
the building will cost, eventually.
about 100000.
But the rapid growth of Americus,
commercially, and the handsome in
crease in postal receipts here, as
evidenced by the postoff1ce records.
warrants the expenditure and erec-
tion of building that will be ade-
quate for all requirements of bust
ness for many years hence 1t isl
expected now that building opera
tions will be started early in the new
year and a handsome addition thus
made to the public edifces of grow
ing Americus.
