CATARRH OF
The PHARYNX.

Clearing out your throat every day,
all day. That is what you have been
doing for months. Possibly years. A
little mucus covers the pharynX.
If you were to go to a doctor he
would tell you that you have phar-
yngitis. If you were to look into
Your own throat you would find just
back of the soft palate a red, lumpy,
granular appearance of the back part
Of the throat. Pharyngitis the doc
tors call it.
Perhaps he would call it, folicular
pharyngitis. 1t causes you constant
annoyance. You are always making
Slight disturbances when seated in an
audience Can't hold your throat
still. Stringy mucus bothers you.
Worse in the morning.
A-hem! A-hem! A-hem! That is
the way you are going nearly all day.
Sometimes in the night when you
wake up. You ought to gargle your
throat with salt water every morn
ing. Cold salt water. That clears
out the throat perfectly and makes 1t
ready for treatment.
Peruna is the treatment Begin
with a teaspoonful before each meal
and at bedtime. Try it for week.
You will be convinced. Of course
Peruna will not entirely relieve you
in week. That is too much to ex-
pect of any remedy. But it VIII oehe-
ut you so much you will De con-
WINGED. Yes, it will. 1t has done
this many times.
Folicular pharyngitis. Big words:
Almost as bad as the disease. But II
you take Peruna for one month reg
ularly, you may forget that you ever
had such a disease. Then you win
have a perfect right to forget the big
words too.

eines can now obtain Peruna Tablets

Sou. Bell Telephone Co. VIII Estab-
Iish System of Medical Supervision
and Preventive Sanitation.

ana preventive SANITATION.
LANTA.-at tention the world
over will be attracted by a plan just
announced for the establishment of
a system of medical supervision and
preventive sanitation By the Sou5n
ern Bell Telephone interests.
DR.. J. A. Gentry, medical director
of the organization, has given out an
interview describing the manner in
which the health and general phys
ical welfare of the employees will be
looked after.
80 far as is possible, he says,
1--WE shall seek the early detection Of
diseases, particularly those that are
communicable, in particular tubercu-
losis. and will see that the cases de-
tected get prompt attention and
treatment. This not only gives the
patient much better chance for re-
coyery, but protects all concerned.
with the cooperation of all en-
pIoyes we are sure that much lasting
good can be accomplished.
Supervision of sick and injured
employees does not mean necessarily
in all instances that the company is
to furnish medical attention, but so
far as practical it will always aid in
securing prompt and skilful treat
ment."

CRUEL TO BURN RATS?
A Man Who Burned Five Will Be
Tried in Court.

''Is it cruelty to animals to burn
rats to death?" This question will
be decided in the court at Cleveland,
Ohio, when Stephen Carman is tried
on a charge of cruelty to animals.
He cremated five rats he had caught
in a cage.
A local attorney will defend Car
man free of charge. He will contend
that it is no more cruel to burn g rat
than it is to give rat poison, the

DIFFERENCE IN FARMERS

1--WE hawke farmers in Berrien who
make four crops year from the same
land" says the Nashville Herald.
"And we have others who barely make
one crop year. There is more differ
ence in the men than in the land" Ex-
actly. South Georgia soil will do it's
share if the farmer will do his to-
wards raising bumper crops of var
ious kinds Different men working the.
same soil in alternate years will get
far different results even if weather
conditions are the same. Men work.
ing adjoining farms at the same time
get different results. And that IS
why the farmer who doesn't get as
good results as his neighbor shoulf
try to find out the reason. 1t is up to
the farmer to increase the yield Of
his farm by improving his methods
and doing less front porch" farming.
The soil will reward the farmer who
works it intelligently as we'll as in
dustriously.- News.

Since the announcement has been
issued that the division headquarters
OF the Seaboard will be moved from
Savannah to Americas, it has become
evident that the Savannah trade bod
les are loath to see the headquarters
moved from that city to Americas.
Notwithstanding the admitted fac.
that Americas is the logical place for
the division headquarters, the SavaD-
nah News attempts to show that the
advantage of having the headquarters
in Americas is immaterial. But the
News naively admits in its charge
that there is an advantage in having
the headquarters here, and it further
discusses the matter as follows:
The trades bodies of this city believe
that the headquarters of the division
of the Seaboard Al:
Line Railway should be here and they
give very good reasons for their belief
Since they are in position to form
an intelligent opinion and are very
deeply interested the management of
the Seaboard might very we'll give
the question further consideration be-
fore transferring the headquarters o.
the foregoing officials to Americas.
The fact that the headquarters were
once removed to Americus and then
back here shows beyond
question that it is by no means GER
ain that there is much of an advant
age in having the headquarters at
Americus If the advantage were con-
siderable the headquarters wouldn't
nave been brought back here after
having been transferred to that point. |

often, for miles and miles, it was gu
lies, washed-away millsides, sage fields
and newground stumps. In some of
the pastures scarcely a tree was left to
shade the painting cattle from the Aus
Iust sun.
In Mississippi, Virginia, Maryland
almost everywhere in America-one
can tell that his train is pulling into
a rural communicated sometimes an
urban community-by the rubbish that
hangs On the brink of a cut, or by the
little outhouses that line the right-of-
way. Is this the way to advertise THRIFT
and intelligence?
Thanks to the farsightedness of the
rural school teachers of America, d
right beginning has been made. Chill
dren are being taught that there .
more in a white oak tree than cord
wood; that squirrels and song birds
are not our enemies; that flowers and
vegetables will thrive where dog weed
and sagegrass; that the place for ad
vertisements is in the newspaper.
Does it not seem strange that s.
many rural communities, and so MANY
new towns, locate their burial ground )
beside the railroad track? One village
was observed to have two railroads
and two cemeteries One railroad was
built alongside the old cemetery. The
town located the new cemetery beside
the other railroad.
Back in the quiet hills, away from
the gaze of the idly curious, is the
burial place God laid out for those peo-
pie to use until cremation becomes a
necessity.
That town is old. The gravestones
in the two cemeteries outnumber, two
to one, the living population. The old
cemetery is sadly neglected. Its
beauty has decayed. The new cemetery
is flowerless, shrubless, unfenced
field. AS the train passed by a bull
yearling was seen scratching a rump
roast against a two thousand dollar
monument.
Human hearts that are alive yearn
for the living natural beauty that tho
Creator has given to all alike. Natur-
al beauty is the true expression OF
God. He who destroys nuatural beau

ment of the finer feelings of his fell
low man.-Atlanta Constitution.

PRESERVING RURAL BEAUTY

The charm of the village of Coldhar-
bour, England, until recently, was a
noble old elm and Spanish chestnut.
These stood near the school building.
A new coal bin was needed Before
the more intelligent villagers knew
what had happened, those two beauti-
full trees were cut down, destroyed for
ever, to make room for a miserable,
dirty, little coal bin which might bet
ter have been dug in the basement, or
put elsewhere.
1t will take Almighty God one huI,-
dred years to grow another tree like
that elm The dingy coal bin can be
duplicated by a simpleton any day.
Much the greater part of our owA

Aside from the helpful influence oi
beautiful surroundings, upon the youne
life of sections remote from populous

worthy of consideration as an adyel-
tisement.

SAVANNAH HATES TO GIVE UP HEADQUARTERS

cation to the president OF the Seaboar1
deals with this feature of the matter
and the reasons given by it for re-
tanning the headquarters here arc
good ones.
But if in the opinion of the Sea-
boards management there is slight
advantage from an operating stand
point in having the headquarters a.
Americas aren't the wishes of the pat
rons of the road at this port, where So
large a per cent. of the roads traffic
is handled, worth something-wor,h
enough, in fact, to overcome thar
slight advantage?
1t must be evident to the Seaboard's
that the effort of the bus
mess community to have the division
al headquarters remain here isn't baS-
ed on mere sentiment. The statement
of the Cotton Exchange makes that ev
ident. 1t is largely, if not wholly, a
matter of business. The men who are
a million and half to two
of bales of cotton year, a
big per cent. of which comes over the
Seaboard, know something about their
traffic needs.
1t does seem therefore as if the Sea-
boards management should give reas
ons of the trades bodies and the wish
es of this community thoughtful cor .
sideration before carrying into effect
the Americas order. 1t can hardly be
otherwise than to the roads advantage
in one way and another to do so. The
hearty good will of a port of the
size of this is in itself worth a good
deal to a public utility corporation Of

A SPLENDID REPORT

Hon. Jesse E. Mercer, state game
and fish commissioner, has made his
report and recommendations for 1912
1913 to Governor Slaton.
This report is a revelation to us
The establishment of game and FISH
laws in any state is a move in the
right direction, but they are hard laws
to enforce A great many people seem
to think their sacred" rights of hunt
ing and fishing are being interfered
with if they are not permitted to kill
and catch what they please when AMI
where they please.
Mr. Mercer was not an applicant
for state game and fish commissioners.
The job was thrust upon him, as yoI
might say, but he accepted the ap-
pointment at the hands of Governor
Smith, and proceeded to make good.
His report proves this. He made the
department pay from the jump, AMI
he has treated all people with whom
he has dealt in a fair and conscien-
ltious manner.
All that we hear is to the effect that
Mr.. Mercer has made the state an eff
icient and thoroughly capable COM
missioner. He has turned thousands
of dollars into the public school fund
On January LIST 1912, there was auto
matically applied to the sechool fund
1000; and again on January 1st
1918, $1,OS9.12 went into the school
fund.
1t is with pleasure The Citizen notes
the obliteration of partisan lines in
this state. 1t would be unfortunate
for the people of Georgia should these
lines ever again be drawn There are
few in the state who are conti1-
uously working to this end, but we
believe their numbers so small that
they will be unsuccessful.
Governor Slaton is proving himself
to be a non-partisan governor. The
Citizen is glad it supported him, for
every day his official acts lead it t.
believe that he is the right man in the
right place. He stands for the best in
terests of the great state of Georgia.
The Citizen is honest in its belief
that it would be a mistake not to ap-
point Mr.. Mercer as state game AMI
fish commissioner, provided he wants
the appointment
We do not know of anything the gov.
ernor could do that would make him
4f9sa% NE
more friends among a certain class
without losing him any among Other
\ classes, than the reappointment OF
the present incumbent and it would
go far toward wiping completely OF
the slate factional lines. The people
would then feel that Governor slaton
was actuated only by the noblest ir1.
