ChangeabIe Climate
is A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

DIR. Hartman, of Columbus, Ohio
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
Yes it is the climate, not the germs,
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present, to be sure,
and are of some significance in
diagnosis. Climate, a changeable
climate, is the true cause of disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies, the
humidity of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area of high pressure forms In
the northwest. Moves rapidly SOUTH
east, subjecting millions of our
population to it's influence. The re-
suit is, thousands upon thousands OF
people catch cold. A small per cent.
of these thousands do not get well OF
their cold. 1t goes into pneumonia,
or chronic catarrh, or bronchitis, or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what I am getting at is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable
No one can prevent them. The very
best we can do is to prepare for
them, defend ourselves against them.
Good health is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health, with
excess vitality, this is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this, however
Some Of us must have assistance.
The assistance that I use for myself,
would recommend for my friends to
use, my neighbors and my country
men, is Pe-ru-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house.
If the children indicate they are
catching cold, give them Pe-ru-na.
If the parents, the grandfather or
grandmother, present those symptoms
that are so we'll known which precede
a cold, a few doses of Pe-ru-na and
the deed is done.
Some people are very subject to
colds. others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather, take Pe-ru-na off and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan is a good one. The medicine
is inexpensive. 1t does no possible
harm to the system. 1t keeps the
appetite regular and keen. 1t as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the inclement weather OF
winter.

w. G. T. q. NOTES
BY The Dawson Chapter

National prohibition for 1920 is no
idle dream, but will come as a result
of the united and determined efforts
of those who are enlisted in the fight
against the liquor traffic.
The child labor bill, like all good
movements, is meeting with the
strongest opposition in certain quar-
tiers. Verify, the love of money is
the root of all evil" Speaking of the
employment of children, Lord Ma
caulay said in the British parlia-
ment: Intense labor, beginning too
early in life, continued too long ev-
cry day, stunting the growth of the
mind, leaving no time for healthful
exercise, no time for intellectual cult
ure, must impair all those high quail
tiles that have made our country
great. Your OVerWOrked boys will
become a feeble and ignOble race OF
men, the parents of a more feeble
progeny"

What would you do if by chance
you should pick up package lost
by some one else and on opening 1t
find that it contained $4,000 in
greenbacks?
Of course, if you were honest, you
would do all in your power to ma
the owner and return the money. But
still $4,000 is a heap OF money and
might cause some folks who under
ordinary circumstances wouldn't
think of taking a penny that did not
belong to them to hesitate. How
ever. Conductor Walter Little of Ma
con, who runs on the Southwestern
railroad. does not seem to be one Of
the hesitating kind.
While walking through his train
Wednesday, after it had pulled out
of Dothan, Ala, Conductor Little saw
a package lying on one of the seats.
He picked it up, tore it open and i'm
agine his surprise when he saw it
contained a big stock Of greenbacks.
He counted them out and found that
there were ten thousand dollars in
all. while on a slip of paper inside

likewise at J. Tom Hill of Cordele
he took a side whack.
The appearance of Judge Speer on
the stand was the most notable as
we'll as the concluding feature of the
sitting of the committee in Savannah.
He only went on after conference
between his counsel and members of
the committee. Not anticipating the
privilege of making a statement, even
as a Witness" he = have a
statement prepared - was
OBLIGED to discuss @rs as
occurred to him or his at the
time.
The committee will leave tomorrow
morning for Washington, not going
to any o. the other cities or towns
of the district. Several weeks will
probably elapse before the commit
tees report is submitted to the house
judiciary committee. 1t is believed
that the latter committee will adopt
the subcommittee recommendation,
whatever it may be.

The Other Fellow.

Give him a kindly, brotherly
thought at least once in a while.
Make him the center of things occa-
sionally instead of yourself. Get into
the habit of seeing a few things from
his point of view. AS you value the
best things for which men were made
do not make life a competition and
all humanity a field for your ex-
ploitation. Of course, you can get
ahead of the other fellow if you try
hard enough, and act meanly enough,
but the net result of it all is bound
to be terribly Disappointing. The
money in your pocket that ought
Justly be in his may not burn a hole
and get out, but it may do something
worse than that, 1t may burn ana
scorch and scar your own soul. 1t IS
really a rather serious matter living
alongside the other fellow. What we
do with him may be important from
his view, but it is very much more
important from Ours.-Chr1stlan

TEMPORARILY SUSPENDS OPERATION
Most Noted Moonshiner Is
SojOurning for a While in the
Federal Prison Near Atlanta.

Lee Carter. the most noted of all
the Alabama moonshiners and known
in that state as king of the boot
leggers," is spending the winter in
Atlanta. He is stopping at the fed
eral penitentiary as the guest of Tn
Gle Sam, and his visit will extend
over a period of eighteen months.
Carter was brought to Atlanta fol-
lowing conviction on the charge of
Illicit distilling in the Huntsville,
Ala, court. After conviction his
lawyers carried the case to the Unit
ed States court of appeals, but the
higher court sustained the lower.
According to report Carter made
thousands of dollars following the
wave of statewide prohibition that
was brought on in Alabama by Gov
ernor Conner and his legislature in
1909.
Local officials, watching all the
trains, were unable to find Carter S
source Of supply, as only a few small
shipments ever went to him by eX-
press
After several months United States
revenue officers solved the mystery
by discovering an illicit still in full
operation in a secret store room in
the rear of Carriers place of business
on a principal street in the town of
Decaturc.
Carter, who is said to be success
full in other more legitimate lines of
business was permitted to put his
business affairs into shape before
leaving home for his stay in Atlanta.

J. C. Koontz, a banker at Columbia,
Ala.
Dropped From Hand Grip.
Conductor Little at once wired the
railroad agent at Columbia, who i'm
mediately communicated with Mr..
Koontz, and it was learned that the
money had been lost by a messenger
who had been dispatched from the
Bank Of Columbia to the bank at
Dothan. The messenger had gotten
on the train at Columbia carrying a
hand grip. Evidently he had opened
the grip on the train to make sure
that the money was still there and in
some manner it had dropped out on
the seat without being observed by
the messenger, who got off at Doth
an. The messenger did not discover
his loss until he opened the hand grip
at the Dothan bank.
The Columbia bank had adopted
the method of transferring money by
messenger instead of through the
express because of the expense at
tached to the latter methOd-MacOn
Telegraph.

SPEER INQUIRY ENDS
JUDGE GOES ON STAND AND DE-
MES ALL THE CHARGES.
Committee Returns to Washington,
and Weeks Are Expected to Elapse
Before 1t Submits Report.


SAVANNAH, Ga.-After two full
weeks of hearings-one week in Ma
con and the other in Savannah-the
investigation by a congressional sub
committee of charges of personal and
official misconduct against Judge
Emory Speer, of the United States
district court for the Southern dis
trict of Georgia, ended here this at
ternoon, Judge Speer being the final
witness.
Judge Speer did not take the stand
as a defendant to make a statement
in his own behalf. He was regularly
sworn as a witness nd subjected to
cross-examination. This he did not
relish, but he seized the opportunity
to give an explanation of the chief
accusations made against him during
the last two weeks.
Judge Speer practically stated that
District Attorney Alexander Aker-
man had perverted the truth in re-
gard to him; he described Postmas-
ter GUSTS Nottingham of Macon as
tyrannicaI police magistrate; he
branded as untrue inc dSSeIllon that
he had favored his son-in-law; he
gave an explanation of why he re-
fused to make the supreme court
mandate the order Of his court; he
denied supervising the contracts be-
tween Talley and Hayward and Isaac
and Hayward; he declared that he
held court at least 200 days year
in his district; he accused ex-Marshal
Barnes with manipulating the truth;
he defended his handling of the HUFF
case; he criticised Attorneys W. Il.
Simmons, T. 8. Fielder and others
who had testified against him in re-
gard to certain features of their tes-
timony; and also delivered a fling in
passing at Attorney w. D. Mcneil;

LATE COTTON NO PROTECTION
Against Boil Weevil, According tC
FxDertS of the Government.

The late planting of cotton won't
decrease the boil weevil damage, the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington has announced. The insist
ence upon this theory in many quar-
tiers of the cotton belt has led to ex-
tensive experiments by the depart
mems bureau of entomology.
The observations" says the re-
port, prove in very definite way
that the late planted crops are sure
to be injured more severely than
crops planted earlier in the season.
