THEY lNJuRE CHILDREN.
catharties and Pills and Harsh Physic.
May Cause Distressing Complaints.


You can not be over-careful in the
selection Of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given. Ordinary pills,
cathartics, and purgatives are too apt
to do more harm than good They
sometimes cause gripping, and may ac-
tually injure the health, thus estab-
fishing life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as a safe and
dependable remedy for constipation
and associate bowel disorders. We
have such faith in the virtues Of this
remedy that we sell 1t on our guar
antee Of money back In every instance
where it fails to give entire satisfac-
ton. and we urge all in need Of such
medicine to try IL at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time. day or night: do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea. gripping. excessive
looseness. or other undesirable effects.
They. have very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which
they come in contact, apparently act
inE a. q regulative tonic upon the re-
Taxed muscular coat of the bowel, thus
overcoming weakness. and aiding to
restore the bowels to, more vigorous
and healthy activity.
Rexaii OrderI;es not only relieve con-
stipation, but help to remove the cause
of this ailment They also frequently
overcome the necessity Of constantly
taking laxatives to keep the bowels in
normal condition..
There is really. in our opinion. no
similar medicine 80 good -as Rexall
Orderlies for tho purpose to which It
is directed, especially for children
aged and delicate persons They are
prepared in tablet form and In two
sizes Of packages: twelve tablets 10

AMERICUS Mills
Feeding BEEF
Cattle
Immense Herd is PdStuFGd
Near City.
Farmers OIL Co. viii Soon Have Six
Hundred Beef Cattle Feeding on
the Riley Farm Near City,--WlIl Be
FattGned for Markets.

The very profitable business of fat
tening cattle on cotton seed hull5
which was conducted here so success
fully last winter by one of the Amer
icus oil mills, and which created in
terest throughout Georgia, is being
attempted again this season by the
Farmers Oil Company.
Last season 600 head of cattle pur-
chased in South Georgia, Alabama and
Florida were hauled to Americus TO
be fattened, and the result was Won
derful.
These six hundred lean, hungry kline
were placed upon a ten acre lot and
fed abundantly upon cotton seed meal
and hulls. They took on flesh rapid
ly and in few weeks were rolling
fat and ready for the market.
These cattle were sold at top prices
in Americus, Macon and other mar
kets Many of them, fat steers and
dry milch COWS suitable for beef were
shipped to Birmingham and other cit
les beyond the state line, and sold at
very excellent prices.
The Farmers Oil Company will once
more engage in fattening cattle for
market and to this end has purchas-
ed already about 500 head of cattle,
and will put them on an exclusive feed
of cotton seed meal and hulls.
About $50 head of cattle are in the
inclosure today, while eight carloads
of COWS and steers will arrive tomor-
row or next day and will go upon the
same feed
The cattle eat the hulls and meal
ravenously and within four weeks are
ready for slaughter, seal fat and in
prime condition
Aside from the fine profit to the
company, the land upon which the vast
herd is pastured is made immensely
rich and fertile, Each season the
pasture is shifted from one locality t.
another, and in this way the Farmers
Oil Company will in a few years pos
sess the richest farm in Georgia and
at no cost whatever.
The herd this season will be quar-
tered on the former Swedenborg farm.

San Francisco, Cal, January 1G.-
Rear Admiral Chauncey NJ. Thomas
commanding the second squadron OF
the Pacific fleet, arrived late Sunday
having been given rush orders Sat
urday at Barbados to go to San Fran
cisco with his flagship, the cruiser
California, to relieve Rear Admiral Ed
ward B. Barry, pending action on Ad-
miral Berry's request for retirement
The cause of Admiral Barry's sudden
desire to leave the service after hold
ing the post fleet commander for
only few months is the subject OF
a great deal of gossip and speculation
in naval and club circles here. There
i. an intimation in rumors that the
admiral has been forced to retire. In
speaking of these rumors Admiral Bar
ry said:
''It is not true that ! have been fore
ed to retire. Other men have asked
for immediate retirement before. The
reasons that have caused me to do this
are partly public and partly private
ones.
"The man who is triumphantIy vim
dicated under such circumstances is
as much a loser as if the charges were
proved to be true. I believe that by
requesting immediate retirement I can
say the navy a scandal"
The stories concerning Admiral Bar
ry are of a nature rejecting upon his
moral character According to reports
published here the admiral sent his
request for relief to Washington fol-
lowing a conference with the staff and
line officers on board the West Vir-
ginia Tuesday night.
At this conference it is reported the
suggestion was made that a loaded re-
volVer be sent to the admirals cabin,
but this suggestion was lost on vote.
The officers present then took an oath
of secrecy on condition that Admiral
AIRY forward his resignation to Wash
ington.
Instead of resigning the admiral re-
quested retirement After that fact
became known the subject matter of
the conference leaked out until all of
the sailors of the fleet We're talking.

much as the total results have gone TO

bureau report is incorrect
The following letter from Congress
man Hughes shows that he has done
his level best to remedy the evil, and
that as far as was in his power he ex-
erted himself to the limit in behalf of
Americus, Being a frequent visitor
here himself, the congressman doubt
less knows, without being told, that
the census report did this city an In
