HOW TO ACT, IF YOU'RE A WOMAN
WHEN A TRAIN ROBBER POKESA
REVOLVER IN YOUR FACE

other day. Although she had a
big sum of money in her hand
bag she didn't let the thieves get
1t. Here is her advice:
Don't try to argue with a
train robber, because he does his
talking with a 45-caliber revolver.
Divide your money into several
rolls, the smallest amount in your
pocketbook.
Throw your pocketbook at the
robber, and he won't look for any
more money. He will not have
time.
There are plenty of good places
besides ones mouth to hide Jewels
in, but l didn't have time to use
them this last time.
II never saw such a scared
looking lot Of passengers" said
Mrs. Owens. 1T all came SO quick
ly from the time we heard the
shooting outside and realized IL
was a holdup until two masked
bandits, each carrying two big re-
volvers, came in, that few of us
had time to do anything. One
man pulled out his wallet. took
out q few bills for the robbers
and hid the rest under seat.
Il thought first of my rings. j
stuffed them in my mouth.
mo. don't think l would have
swallowed them IL the robbers had
found out. Then ] took out my
money and railroad ticket. I put
the roll and ticket in my hair un
der my pompadour. Yes, like {
rat. ! can tell you, that was on,

cealed."

PEACH FEAST FOR
THE GEORGIA EDITORS
A Feature That Would Be
Unique and Enjoyable.

The suggestion has been made, and
it appears a good one, that instead
of serving light refreshments to the
editors of the Georgia Weekly Press
Association on the afternoon of the
auto tour of the county, that there
be provided Sumter county peach
feast that will introduce the editors
to the Georgia Elbertas in their larg-
est, ripest and most luscious form.
The plan proposed is to arrange at
one Of the orchards for a>superabun- a
dance of the finest fruit that can be
had Long tables will be placed in
some shady spot on the farm and load
ed down with the frui!. Knives viii
be on hand and the visitors will be in
vited to feast to their hearts content
for once to realize what it means to
have all the peaches one desires.
Water and towels could be conven,
iently at hand for ablution and the
feast could be made ain hour of gem
uine social enjoyment as we'll as Of
unqualified enjoyment for the palate.
For those who do not care for peaches
and few and far between they are
an abundance of Sumter's suGerb wa
ter melons could be provided.
The idea is a good one-much better
than punch and sandwiches at the
Country Club. 1t provides something
both original and enjoyable.

TYPHOID FEVER PREVAILS IN
STATE AT THIS SEASON
Now Treated Successfully With Ty.
phO-Bacterin.

While Americus is practically free
OF typhoid, the near approach of the
fever season in South Georgia sug-
gests the adoption of every precau-
tionary measure for the elimination
OF this insidious and dangerous mala-
dy, as we'll as the procurement of the
best remedies for its treatment.
Advanced medical science discards
the crude remedies of even recent
years, which have given way to the
more effective and popular biological
products.
These include, besides the typho-
bacterin for typhoid fever, the we'll
known diptheria anti-toxin, anti-pneu-
monia serum, and tetanus or lockjaw.
All are established remedies, but at
this particular season ones attention
is directed most to the typhoid fever
preventive and cure.
The biological product meets every
requirement in this way.
Yesterday an interested number of
citizens were shown at the drug store
of the Howell-Prather Drug Co. an ex-
hibit of serums for typhoid, dipther1a,
pneumonia, tetanus, ETC., by DR.. w. II.
Gillette, the representative of II. X.
Milford & Co., of Philadelphia, man
ufacturers or these remedies.
Their preparations. uses and effects
We're fully explained by DR.. Gillette,
who has long supplied them in Amer
icus for Milford & Co. y
1t is subject of congratulation to
citizens of Americus and this section
to hear that the Howell-Prather DRUG
Co. will continue to carry full and
complete lines of these serums, the
needs of which are so apparent and
which, in cases of emergency, must
be had Immediately.
Fresh supplies Of each remedy will
be kept constantly on hand by this
well known Americus house.
