union OF MINISTERS
FORMED In AMERICUS
Dr.. Burrows Is Chairman of
Organization

\ The spirit of good fellowship man
ifest in our churches is matter for
which the people of Americas have
reason to be thankful. The friendly
relation existing between the several
pastors residing in Americus is one
strong factor in the maintaining OF
this harmony.
AS a practical expression of this
cordiality of feeling there has been
formed a Pastors Association.
The association is for the purpose
of cementing the frateruaI feeling, by
social intercourse, exchange of cour-
tesies, sympathy with success and diff
fl ulty, and co-operatioa in al; that
makes for Righteousness in the COM
munity.
The organization was perfected
Monday morning. The pastors met and
chose DR.. Lansing Burrows chair
man, and Rev. =. w. Stokes secre-
tary. The meetings are to be held
every Monday morning at 1920 in
the lecture room of the First Baptist
Church.
1t is expected that there will be a
much stronger tie binding the men,
bers of the churches Of our city and
q greater amount Of good accomplish
ed in every worthy particular.

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY Common Garden Sage, a Simple
Remedy for Dandruff, Falling,
Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmOthers used to have
dark, glossy hair at the age Of
seventy-fve, while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used to make a sage
tea" and apply it to their hair The
ca made their hair soft and glossy, and
gradually restored the natural color.
| One objection to using such a prep
ayatiOn was the trouble Of making It,
especially as it had to be made every
two or three days on account of sou"-
ing quickly. This objection has been
overcome, and by asking almost any
first-ciass druggist for Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy the public
can get a superior preparation of sage,
with the admixture of sulphur, another
valuable remedy for hair and scalp
troubles. Daily use of this preparation
will not only quickly restore the color
of the hair, but will also stop the hair
from falling out and make it grow
Get a bottle from your druggist to-
day. Use it and see for yourself how
quickly dandruff goes and gray hairs
vanish.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by Murray 4
Hooks Pharmacy and all druggists.

army with it's general staff or board of direc-
tors, but in even greater degree is it evidence
OF the value of that comparatively new insti-
tuition, the U. S. Army War College. The news
paperreading public has been told repeatedly
these past few years that it is the special prov
nce of the officers detailed to duty in the great
red brick building, overlooking the Potomac
in Washington, to have on hand and to keep
constantly up to date detailed plans of cam
paign for in the event of war with any
other nation. However, the present instance
affords the country at large it's first real ex-
amplifcatiOn of the practical value of the in
formation that is kept under such close guard
in the plan vault and the map rooms of the
War College.
1t was shown by the rapidity with which
ders were formulated and issued for this sud
den movement of the largest body Of troops
that has been handled at any one time since
the Spanish war that the War College has de-
pendable information as to just what can be
expected of the railroads in emergency.
This showed too, the wisdom of Uncle Sans
policy of keeping his plans up to the min
ute by revising them every time there is
change of railroad schedules for, in this in
stance, most of the troops travelled by regular
trains instead Of by special trains and the lat
ter would presumably be resorted to only In
the case of extreme emergency.
Another feature of the plans for the army in
action for which the big trek to Texas has
proven most beneficial dress rehearsal is that
which contemplates reliance upon the tele-
graph system of the country in the movement
of troops. The of the network of wires
covering the continent, in the event of war,
has been the subject of study the part OF
the military experts that has gone hand In
hand with the investigation to how the rail-
road arrangements could be made to promote
the mobility of the military force This work
ed out just as anticipated the day orders were
issued for the advance to Texas and there
poured into the department a continual stream
of kilograms that kept the officials advised in
detail as to the movement of every body of
troops headed for the rendezvous in the Lone
Star State.
1t may be a trife early to talk about the les
sons to be drawn from this taste Of war but
one is already apparent. 1t emphasizes that
the field artillery yet has very important
place in our military paraphernalia. There has
been disposition on the part of people,
of late years, to regard any considerable
amount of field artillery not the most useful
equipment for the American army. Such advo-
Gates took the view that Uncle Sam ought to
put his money into heavy coast defense guns

ture upon battleships of the heaviest class.
However, the unexpected call to Texas, empha-
sizing it did, vistas Of trouble that had been
completely overlooked in contemplation of the

sore need for ample field artillery under GER

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
Turing Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
II cuffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my homework, l did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
I was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
"This distressed me very much, as
I was a widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that I wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, I happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flied by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. I grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
my health began to improve imme-
diateIy. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, 1 gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
~ all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. NO
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth!
"Then I again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble IN
passing the medical examination.
ct was seven years ago that | be-
gan to use Postum and I am using IL
still, and shall continue to do so, as
find it a guarantee of good health.
