Hopes every man and woman here will adopt
this splendid health habit

Why IS man and woman, half
the time, feeling nervous, despon-
dent, worried; some days head
achy, dull and unstrung; some
days really incapacitated by i'll
ness.
If we all would practice the
drinking Of phosphated hot water
before breakfast, what a crafty
ing change would take place. In
stead of thousands Of half-sick,
anaemic-looking souls with pasty,
muddy compilations we should see
crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The
reason is that the human system
does not rid itself each day Of all
the waste it accumulates under
our present mode Of living. For
every ounce Of food and drink
taken into the system nearly an
ounce Of waste material must be
carried out, else it ferments and
forms ptomaine-like poisons in
the bowels which are absorbed
into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to
clean the ashes from the furnace
each day, before the fire will burn
bright and hot, SO we must each

REALM OF BEAUTY
WONDERFUL ASSORTMENT OF
DESIRABLE GOODS ASSEMBLED
EY MANAGER r. C. .BOULWARE
AT JITNEY PRICES.

A wonderful display of 5, 10 and 25
cent goods has been assembled at
he Mcclellan Store in Cordele, under
management of r. G. Boulware, direct
ng genius of the modern concern, who
brought to the business founded here
asst June, the results of several years
successful experience in similar line.
This valuable experience, and belief
hat there is nothing too good for
,ordele folks, has led the aggressive
manager to tidy up the local store I'M
il it would shine in comparison with
;tores of like kind in any metropoli-
IAN cities.
The Mcclellan people own and op-
crate thirty-seven stores in many
cities. Goods are purchased in large
quantities for the chain of establish
nents, by experienced buyers who are
llert at all times for bargains. The
,ystem enables the local store to make
rice concessions in connection with
lesirable goods not attainable else
where.
Manager Boulware possesses a gen
us and taste for decorations, and with
he approach of the holiday season
he store will be transformed more
md more into veritable fairy realm
# beauty, with festoons of holly and
.;reens and miseltoe and bright deco
ations suitable to the, season Of gifts
nd good viii.
Corde1e boys and girls generally
will have to be content this year with
smerican made toys, but these will
e of exceptionable beauty and utility,
ecause of the impetus given Ameri-
an manufacturers by the European
Jar.
Late books, correct stationery and
oilet articles in variety are featured
it the Mcclellan store, where every
lass of notions carried in stores OF
his class in metropolitan cities may
% purchased at jitney prices.

Points About
Planting An Orchard
7. H. Mediation, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture.

Ga. State College OF Agriculture.
Orchards should be planted in Geor-
gia before Christmas, though they are
sometimes planted later. Get the
plants delivered about the last of No
vember. When they arrive heel or
bank them till ready to set out. This
is done by digging trench on the
lorth side of a hill or house, putting
The roots Of the trees therein and Gov
ering them.
Peaches and trees that grow to SIM
lar size should be set about 20 feet
apart each way, pears twenty-five feet
apart; apples 35 to 40 feet apart and
pecans so feet apart.
Dig a hole about two feet square
and two feet deep, pecans 8 to feet
deep. Put the top soil and some we'll
decomposed barnyard manure, or a
pound or more of cottonseed meal or
bone meal in the bottom of the hole
mixing we'll Prune off all twisted and
broken roots from the trees, set i'll
center Of the hole and begin to fill
with top soil. Pack down thoroughly
as the dirt is being thrown in. Fill
higher than the surrounding surface.
The tree will show how deep it has
been in the nursery. Do not set in
the orchard more than one inch deeper
than that.
After planting, prune the tree back
Peaches should be left from l foot to
is inches and apples Is inches to 2
feet high.

gia. The following varieties will, gen
