our PARTY LOYALTY.

Democrats Of Cordele and Crisp
county are happy'at the quick response
which has been made to the call for
funds 10 be sent for use in the nation-
al campaign. Those who gave and
those who could not are alike pleased
at the loyalty shown. The strong IN
lerest which has prevailed from the
start Monday has made it possible for
this community TO have as creditable
showing as could be desired. The eff
fort mere puts us well UP among the
live progressive communities.
The city of Macon sent in hun
dred dollars and boosted Of the act.
We take this TO be true because the
Savannah Press said SO. We have
sent in more than a hundred and have
right to talk about it. Every per-
son who has an interest in the outcome
Of The national contest here and
throughout Georgia has cause to ap-
preciale what has been done in this
county. 1t is but an evidence Of what
can be done when we want to do some
tning The total fund sent in amount
cd to $4,000
We have yet duty to perform
which should have the attention Of
every democrat 1t does not take mon
ey to do this. 1t will be necessary to
remember to vote on November 7.
Every qualified voter who wishes to
see a Wilson victory ought to take it
upon himself as a solemn duty TO vote
and help swell the majority in Crisp
county :.
None of us want to see republican or
progressive vote running riot among
us at a time like the present. We have
no good reason to forget our duty
There are three democrats maong up
to every one of another party faith.
There is certainly enough enthusiasm
for crditabe party showing and we
have sufficient cause to be up and do

nEEEcrIuE TEETH.

A recent investigation made by the
O. s. Public Health Service in con
nection with studies OF rural school
children showed that 1913 per cent
had defective teeth, oil per cent had
two or more missing teeth, and only
1863 per cent had had dental atten-
ton. Over II per cent never used a
tooth brush, 58.2 per cent used one
occasionally and only 27.4 per cent
used one daily. Defective teeth re-
duce physical efficiency. Dirty, sup
purating, snaggle, toothed mouths are
responsible for many cases of heart
disease, rheumatism and other chron-
ic affections. The children are not
responsible fer the neglected state Of
their teeth. The ignorant and care
less parent is to blame for this con
dition-a condition which hampers
mental and physical growth and puts
permanent handicap on out future
citizens. School teachers can and
are doing much in intoxicating habits

FACTION FANCIEs.

A municipal election is not a thing
that should be permitted to set one
friend over against another in a fight
all too serious for the little honor. To
make The scramble for the Office an
affair of too great Importance is to
end it with one side pitted against
another.
TO get into the ranks of the church
with the issues is to draw the lines
tighter as among denominations. The
fight does not end with the race for
the office. 1t oftentimes reaches a
bitterness that will not die out in
years. Political wrangling does less
damage than Il final scramble for SUI
premacy between two religious organ
i2ations.
No municipal contest could harm
this or any community if the races
were run with less clamor. 1t ought
to be possible for any citizen to ask
for town Office and get through the
election without loss Of friends, but ii
is rarely the case.
When we get to where we can enter
q municipal contest with the proper
spirit there need be no factions. In
our oagerness to win now we forget
friendships and even our neighbors
sometimes. The wounds are with ut
many years.
This is all unnecessary. II is not
am.ss to vote as one pleases. 1t is no
crime 10 pit, forward helping hand
wherever it can be done without of
Tense. But ell this ought to he done
il, such a way as to perr-it no enc to
forget we are neighbors and must
live together long after the scramble
for Office is over.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an insidesbath each morning
to flush from the system the previous
days waste, sour lamentations and poi
sonous toxins before it is absorbed into
the blood. Just as coal, when it burns,
leaves behind certain amount of in
combustible material in the form OF
ashes, so the food and drink taken each
day leave in the alimentary organs a
certain amount of indigestible material,
which if not eliminated, form toxins and
poisons which are then sucked into the
blood through the very duets which are
intended to suck in only snourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of healthy
bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin
get clearer and clearer, you are told to
drink every morning upon arising, a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, which is a
harmless means of washing the waste

FOR ALDERMAN.

hereby announce myself a candi-

dele subject to the primary OF Nov.
DIST, and if elected l promise>a faith
full performance Of the duties of the
Office
I believe there should be just and
equitable adjustment Of the citys Dusl
ness license. Under the present sys-
tenn the small merchant and shop men
are made to pay an unreasonable pro.
norton of the running expenses OF
the city. Every merchant in the city
should be made to pay somewhat--ln
keeping with his volume Of business.
| believe that the minimum water
rent should be reduced to an amount
only sufficient for the running expense
and upkeep of the plant.
The police department being one OF
the most important of the city's gov
eminent | believe it should be kept
ND to the highest standard OF eftic1en-
CIV and that there should be three
shifts of patrolmen working hours
each. l believe for the protection OF
the city the Office of desk sergeant
should be re-estahlished.
l believe the fire department should
be maintained at it's present high
standard of efficiency.
I believe at the very earliest pos
sible date the city should establish
and operate a sanatorium in keeping
with the development and needs of
the city and surrounding territory.
I believe in the observance of the
Christian Sabbath.
If you believe in these principles
vote for me and I will appreciate your
support and dc my best to make the
city a faithful and efficient officer.
