When The Operator Says cline
Busy"

When the operator gives you the
Busy" report it does not necessarily
mean that some one is talking over the
telephone called. The line may be busy
when there is no one in the office or
house and when there is no possible way
for the telephone to be actually in use.
1t may be that some one is trying to
call the same telephone, and should yOn
or any one else call at that time the op-
orator would get the Busy" signal and
so report. Oftentimes servants use the
telephones or answer calls when no
member of the family is at home, and in
such cases the Busy" report ia given.
The line is Busy on a duplex station
if either telephone on the line is in USE
The line is Busy" on a straight line tele
use.
The Busy" report is source OF an
noyance to many telephone users who
do not understand that the line can be
busy if any one is trying to get the num-
Der, even If it is known that there is no.
body at home.
We'd like to have you bear these
things in mind, particularly during these
hot months, when all OF us are annoyed
by the heat and easily exasperated.
We are taking proper precautions to
make our service as near perfect as pos
sible. Our operators are cooperating

This Man Never Wore Clothes.

Atlanta, July 31.-Word comes to
Atlanta via the North Georgia noun
tains OF strange man named John
Castollow, who has grown to be 81
years old, hale, hearty and happy
without ever wearing a stitch OF
clothing and without ever using a
single word but the monosyllable,
Gee"
Says traveller from Young Harris
describing the marvellous person:
"He lives four miles east of Wind
sor, in BERTHE county, n c., and his
health is perfect, not having missed
a meal in fifty years. When l visit
ed him he was entirely nude. He is
the strongest man [ ever saw. His
body is normal and well shaped, but
his strength is prodigious. He can
break double plow-line as easily as
II it were a cotton cord He is gen
tie and has never been known to hurt
a living soul intentionally. He can
not speak a single word except the
one monOsyllable, "Gee," which has
uses, in varied intonations to ex-
press all his desires and emotions.

Listen Young nen.

Boys, when you speak of your
father, don't call him the cold man. "
OF course you are older now than
when you were taught to call him
father. You are much smarter than
you were then, you are much more
manly looking, your clothes fit you
better, your hat has a modern shape
and your hair is combed differently.
You are, in short, flyer than you
were then. Your father has last
years coat, two-year-old hat and
a vest OF still older pattern. He
can't write such an elegant note as
you can, and all that, but don't call
him "the old man." Call him father.
For years he has been hustling
around to get things together; he
has been held to the thorny path oI
uphill industry and the brightest
half of his life has gone from him for
ever. But he loves you, though he
goes along without saying much
about it. Therefore be not migrate
full.

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made by Many Hen
dersOn Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause OF backache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
1t is wrong to imagine that relief is
cure.
Backache is kidney ache,
You must cure the kidneys.
A Henderson resident tells you how.
Eugene Thorn. Adams Ave, Hender-
son, n c., says: Il used Doan's Kidney
Pills and must say that they benefited
me more than any other remedy | ever
tried. For years | had kidney trouble
and | suffered almost constantly from
backache and distressing pains in my
loins. Some days | was hardly able to
stand for more than twenty minutes at
time and | rarely got full nights
rest. took several kinds of medicine
and also wore plasters, but | found no
relief. Doan's Kidney Pills were finally
recommended to me and getting a box
at Kerner McNair Co.'S. Drug Store,
began their use. They removed my
aches and pains and restored me to bet
ter health than had enjoyed for years.
Some years ago l publicly endorsed
Doan's Kidney Pills and at this time
am glad to speak in their praise again.
The benefit received has been lasting "

lightning do not occur on buildings

REMEMBER THAT anyone who
has gone through the trying ordeal
o: seeing whole seasons crop de-
molished by single stroke or has
beheld his house in ruins or looked
upon the disfgnred corpse OF those
whom he loves, can never begrudge
the small amount necessary to give
protection by means OF a properly
applied rod.
Who says good Lightning Rods
are sure protection?
Answer: Every thinker, every
philosopher, every encyclopedia,
every scientific man, every college,

ment.
Who says rods are no protection?
Answer: The ignorant, the super
stitious, the Katfirs of Central At
