COFFEE HURTS
One In Three.


1t is difficult to make people believe
that tea and coffee are a poison to at
least one person out of every three,
but people are slowly finding it our,
although thousands of them suffer ter
ribly before they discover the fact
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee ! became
restless, nervous and excited so that
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffered from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.

UNDERWOOD
CLUB, MAYBE,
FOR SUMTER
TEN DAYS CLUB SUGGESTED
Many Supporters Of AIabam-
ian Here

A Ten Days Underwood Club IS
proposed and a movement will prob
ably be started at once to the end
that all of the numerous supporters
of Underwood in Americas and Sum-
ter county as whole may be en-
rolled and their interest stimulated
in the approaching election.
1t is less than two weeks now to the
election that is to decide whether the
vote of Georgia shall be cast for the
Albanian or the New Jerseyman
when the roll is called up yonder" at
the Baltimore convention.
Many Underwood men are to be
found all over the county, men who
pin their faith to the democratic lead
err in the house of representatives,
who admire his fight for lower Ia
riff on the necessities of life, for re-
trenchment in government expendi-
lures, and other work for the masses.
All that is needed is to get these vo-
ters out on May first to give Under
wood sweeping victory in Sumter,
it is claimed.
That will be the object of the pro-
posed Ten Days Club, simply tenn
porary organization to give an inn
petus to the Underwood movement and
to line up the voters SO that there will
be no trouble in getting their ballots
cast on May first
A call for meeting will probably be
circulated today and a meeting for
organization purposes called for Mon
day. The campaign being brief one
it is believed much ginger can be in
fused into it speedily and the results
prove highly satisfactory when the
ballots are counted on May first.

AID NEEDED
BY FIREMEN
FOR The MEET
TO Be HELD HERE IN JUNE
No Tournament Without Pub
lie Support

At a meeting of the Board of Trade
to be held tonight at the city hall,
at which the election of officers for
the ensuing year will likely take place
the matter of financial aid for the
firemen's convention to be held here
in June will be considered.
The firemen's convention is one OF
the most important conventions that
the city has had the good fortune of
securing for this season, but it de-
mands strong public aid and support
, Whether this aid and support will be
forthcoming or not is what the pro-
moters of the convention wish to
know before they go too far into the
| arrangements.
The convention has been awarded
| to Americas and will be held here for
a certainty, but the matter of no
| much support the city will give to II
is the question that is worrying
! Chief w. p. Macarthur and the Others
of the local fire department who are
interested especially in its success
| The holding of tournament, as con.
, templated, means that pretty heavl
funds will be needed, probably no
lass than $1,000
Unless this fund can be pledged il
such a manner as to give Chief Nc
Arthur assurance that it will be forth
coming to defray the cost of tour
nament, he will drop the matter c
the tournament and consider only th'
| matter of the expenses of the con
vention, which should of course, b.
easily obtained.
In addition to the firemen's con
vention, the convention of the Geor
gia Dental Society is to meet here il
June, so that expenses must be col
lected for that purpose also.

COLLEGE STARS
Will PLAY IN
COMING GAMES
With MERCER and AUBURN
Teams are Apparently Even
ly Matched

Some of the brightest stars in the
ranks of the college players of the
state will appear on the diamond here
next week when Mercer and Auburn
meet for a series of three games.
Among these will be included some OF
the Oldest as well as some of the most
effective college players in the state
To see two teams like the Mercer
and Auburn teams meet on the dia-
mond will be well worth while, as the
two teams are very evenly matched
and the very best efforts will be made
by each to take the series that has
been scheduled to be played in Ameri-
Gus. Crowds of rooters from both
colleges will be present to make the
games all the merrier, so that it will
be royal tug of war.
With the Mercer bunch will come
John Voss, the veteran twirler, in ad-
dition to cellars, Moses and Norman,
who are also nifty hurlers of the
sphere, while a number of the play
ers in the infield and outfeld of the
Mercer teams are veterans. A num-
Der of the Auburn team are also seas
oned men, while the entire aggrega-
ton is a fast and we'll organized one
The series of games will be well
advertised throughout this entire sec
ton, as Manager Ford ha salready
arranged to have several thousand
circulars printed and distributed gem
orally in all nearby cities and towns
1t is feather the cap of Americas
to have been able to arrange for
the games here, so that every effort
will be made to see that the games
are carried through without a bobble
The indications are that there will be
a mountaineering crowd, both from
the city and from out-of-town places

Instead of in Americas, as
Intended

Mr. c. r. Whitley returned yester-
day from Jacksonville, where he was
called recently by the death of his
brother. Mr.. Rufus Hearn, formerly

at Jacksonville instead, where two of
his children are buried, the funeral
taking place Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. Hearn was general manager Of
a large Wholesale grocery house in

HIGH SCHOOL
BALL PLAYERS
NOW PREPARED
FOR THE GAME here TODAY
High School Team Will Have
Tug Of War

Players of the local High School
baseball team are sparing no efforts
to get in shape for the game with the
Albany High School team here Fri
day afternoon, which bids fair to
be one of the best of the many games
that have been played between these
tears.
Though the High School team has
had no match games this season it is
believed that the players are in thor
oughly good shape for the game to-
day. This is emphasized by the fact
that in the practice games they have
put up better article of ball than
has been shown by them in many
days.
Albany will come with a strong
team and with the determination to
open the seasons playing with the
local team by scoring a victory. If a
fast and snappy team that has been
we'll drilled and coached can defeat
them, however, the locals will be in
the game for victory. A large at
tendance is expected at the game,
which will be played this after
noon at the regular hour. A number
of Albany rooters will come with
that team.

DELIcAcY MADE FROM SOUR
MILK.
HeaIthful Summer Dessert Better
Than Ice Cream.

A new frozen delicacy has been
tried and is being advocated by the
University of Missouri Dairy Depart
ment. 1t is neither ice cream nor
sherbet, but is half way between and
is said to be better than either. 1t is
made with sour milk as a basis, and
is favored with lemons, sugar, and
some fruit syrup, with eggs to give it
Lody and q more pleasing favor.
The claim is made for Lacto-the
name OF the new dessert-that 1t has
a distinct medicinal value, especially
during hot weather. The Tactic acid
which is found in the sou milk Is the
same that has long been mentioned as
a cure. and a preventive Of intestinal
troubles. Furthermore, the SOU milk
contains much real food material,
which can not be said of sherbets and
ices.

A digestive system of great capac-
ity is essential to handle the great
amount of food from which the milk
is made! Such a digestive system is
indicated by the size and shape of the
barrel. AS illustrated, it should be
long, wide, and deep, yet not unduly
low and heavy.
A further indication is the natural
lean, angular appearance Of the dairy
cow, which indicates that she will put
fat into the milk instead of on her
body. She has a clean cut appearance
all over, accompanied by a mellow
ness and pliability of skin not pre-
scented by a beef animal in the same
condition of flesh.

On the other hand, If too little water
is used, the silage may spoil by the
formation of mould. For this reason
it is advisable to be on the safe side
and use too much rather than too lit
tia water. The water may be added
to the silage at the time Of filling By
running 1t into the blower with a hose
from a barrel, or ~inconyenient, it may
be added to the silage in the silo as
the filling progresses.
In putting kaffir corn or sorghum
into the silo, the seed should be past
the milk stage and the stalks begin
ming to show the first signs Of ripen-
ing, If a crop of corn, sorghum, or
kaffir corn becomes frosted it is we'll
to go ahead with the work, using an
abundance of water so as to moisten
the entire mass properly.

done, as it undoubtedly can, there
must be some definite relation be-

There are a few main points which
do more to indicate the milk produc-
ing powers of a COW than all the 9th

1t is commonly observed and uni
