Positive Relief

The progress OF modern medic al

fully evident than in the simplifying

Of past generations. For instance.
the harsh cathartics and violent pur-
gatives used by our forefathers to
relieve constipation are now known
to he not only unnecessary but really
harmful. Constipation can be more
effectively relieved without the dis

remedies occasion.

MELON SEASON

RAPIDLY WANES
BEST ONES ARE GONE AND SEAS.
ON NEAR ENDING.

Americus melon growers and those
throughout this territory, from where
300 to 400 carloads watermelons arc
shipped each season, report that the
crop, locally, is wellnigh harvested
and that shipments will soon fall to
minimum, The intensely hot weather
of the past few weeks wellnigh de-
stroyed what remained of the crop, and
also renders almost impossible the
planting of later crop. Prices, the
shippers say, held up very well, aver
aging from $50 to SIS per car for the
best melons. AS the watermelon seas
on wanes so does the delicious cantel-
oupe disappear, and those who are
fond of fruit will soon depend again
upon the early shipments of Florida
oranges and Western apples.
