ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's

will get large bottle of this old

be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair and is
splendid for dandruff, dry. itchy scalp
and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage

naturally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied-it's so easy
to use. too. You simply dampen a

color and looks glossy, soft and
abundant.

CITIZENS SHOULD
DESIGNATE THEIR
DWELLING No.

Quite recently there has been a very
complete Remembering of houses in
Americas, both residences and places
of business while the city has been
divided into four districts with Lee
and Church streets as the lines of de-
narration. Streets extending south
from Church street, such as Lee, Jack
son, Forrest, Hampton and others,
should have the affix South" while
streets extending north from Church
are designated Jackson, north; Lee,
north; Hampton, north, etc.
The same rule applies to streets
running east and west from Lee street,
which are designated hurch, east;
College, east, or west, as the case may
be.
If residents would more clearly des-
1gnate their locality it would greatly
facilitate the daily delivery of mails,
as the carrier can, at a glance tell
whether letter to be delivered on
Church street should go east or west.
The same applies to all of the other
streets, and the correction could be
made without trouble. In the recent
Remembering of residences and stores
old numbers were entirely discarded,
and the uniform new white and blue
numbers substituted.
Not only would this prove of mater
ial advantage to the letter carriers, but
the correct listing of stores and resi-
dences would assist very materially in
locating ones address.

USUAL DISTRESS
RESULTS AMONG
THE UNEMPL OYED
COLD WEATHER AND LACK OF
WORK IS FELT HERE, BUT
NOT ACUTELY.

While Americas has many unem-
ployed as the result of depressed bust
ness conditions prevailing throughout
the country, the situation is not nearly
SO acute as in the larger cities, where
municipalities are providing manual
work that men may earn enough to at
least keep the wolf from the door. II
there are any cases of actual suffer
ing in Americas they could, no doubt,
be quickly relieved through the agen-
cy of the several charitable organiza-
tons here.
The weather today is bitter cold
and there may, in city of this size,
be some families to whom assistance
would be appreciated. In Macon and
Atlanta work at 81 to SLIPS per day is
being provided for limited number.
Inaugurating municipal improve
ments in order to give employment to
the idle during period when it is
badly needed seems to be growing, for
several cities are taking up this plan.
Movements similar to that in Atlanta,
are under way in Rome, Macon and
other points.
1t should be understood, however, in
order to prevent difficulties that this
werk ls being ilaugurated wholly to
care for local labor. If this is not
thoroughly understood it may result
in unemployed men from other points
coming in to these cities, expecting
work, thereby raising fresh complica-
tons.
In Atlanta six hundred men were
put to work on sewer improvements
yesterday morning, and in spite of the
coolest weather of the season, practi-
cally there was no difficulty IN getting
the number provided for in the emer-
gency appropriation of $150,000.
Four hundred white men and 200
negroes were put to work. The ne
groes we're placed in one gang and the
whites separated into two divisions
The white men are entirely isolated
from the negro gang. Every man that
can be used was at work.
