THE SIGNAL FOR QUICK

ATLANTA, Ca; april Elf yom
don't leave town in twenty-four hours,
hell will be your home"
These words written in large black
type on piece of cardboard, the card
board tackled under the lid of a small
white coffin, and the coffin left on q
front doorstep, have stricken terror
t. the hearts CT large number of ne
groes in the famous "Darktown" Sec
ton of Atlanta, and have resulted in
such an exodus of negroes from the
city that the matter has become serious
and the police are making an investi-
cation.
Recently negro woman who reeciv-
ed one of the notices tackled in cofIin
and paid no attention to it was found
dead in an alley with her throat cut
from ear to ear.
Whether the murder and the notice
were merely coincidence, or whether
there is really some sort of fiendish
murder plot Matched conspiracy, for
negroes, is a question the police via
undertake to determine.
The effect upon the negroes could
not have been more immediate and
far-reaching than if there had been a
gigantic and deadly conspiracy, for
not only has every negro receiving
notice subsequent to the violent death
of the negro woman in the alley left

ATLANTA MERMAIOS DIsPORT
THEMSELVES PIEDMONT LAKE

ATLANTA, Ca, April 21.-Atlanta
bermaids who swim and dive in Pied
mont Lake have decided that swim
ming and diving are not exciting en-
ough for their young blood, and ac-
cordingly have planned to give the
city this summer an introduction to
the newest of all water games, and the
toughest of all games outside of foot
ball and prize fighting. 1t is called
cane football and is the invention OF
Alleen Allen, champion woman swim
mer of the Pacific coast, who made II
the craze of California beaches last
summer.
The game is played by two teams of
the can while her mate bats the
ball. The four positions are sprint
beat, two guard beats and the goal
beat. The object is to bat the ball
across the goal. Large paddles are
used for this purpose No player can
strike the ball while in the water, and
if a boat upsets and spills it's two oc-
cupants they must right the boat be
fore the player with the bat can touch
the ball.
A girl has got to be an expert swim
ner and diver to play the game, but
for those who are at home in the water
and who enjoy having their shins
cracked and their noses mashed and
their eyes blackened, the game is said
to contain more real Thanksgiving
excitment per square yard and per
cubic minute than anything else

"HOW to Find
Husband" After
The Big War

ROME, April PA discussion of
How to find husband after the war"
is being carried on in the columns of
the Piccolo. Intense interest is indi-
Gated by the number of letters receiv-
ed from young women readers who
confess their fears that there will
not be enough men to go around One
of these declares her intention to emil
CRATE to the United States in the hope
OF finding husband
Another points out that the unmar-
ried men remaining after the war
who have suffered deeply by it's hard
ships will be inclined to select as
wives those women unspoiled by the
new freedom which the absence of
men at the front has given women
that the women to find husband will
have to be modest and obedient.
Girls nowadays are becoming too
frivolous she states, land such girls
do not make good wives" This same
young woman then quotes the counsel
of the wise Arab, Sidi Ahmed Ben
Arun, to his daughter about to be
married. telling her that the success
full wife must be as earth under the
feet of her husband; appear to obey
him in all things; never offend his
vanity, or his ears with too much talk
iug;; and never contradict him. So
Shalt thou become both master and
mistress in thy house"

IF BACK HURTS

Flush the Kidneys at Once When
Backachy or Bladder Bothers-
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms ur-
ic acid which clogs the kidney pores Sc
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or il
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage or at.
tended by a sensation of scalding, gel
about four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be.
fore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for gen.
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also tc
peutralize the acids in urine so it nc
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervesc-
ent lithia-water drink which all reg.
ular meat eaters should take now ant
then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding ser
icus kidney complications.

RAILROADS OUT
WITH STATEMENT

ATLANTA, Ca, April 21.-A state
ment has just been issued by the rail-
roads in Georgia and adjoining states
answering the statement of the post
office department defending the Moon
railway pay bill and the so-called
space plan" of pay for mail transpor-
tation. Following are some of the ex-
tracts from the statement of the rail-
roads:
THE department endeavored in its
statement to justify the attempt to OBJ
tain the enactment of the Moon bill by
making it rider on the postoffice ap-
preparations bill The departments
defense throughout was based upon a
series of assertions unaccompanied by
proof.
The anomaly and the injustice Of
the present law is that it provides pay
for such travelling postoffices only
when occupying full cars of the length
OF 40 feet or more. The railroads are
compelled to furnish the department
with about 1890 compartment car
postoffices, less than 40 feet long, that
are not paid for at all.
"The weighing of mails is costly and
annoying only because the department
practice makes it so. The railroads
believe the cost of the weighings could
he reduced rs to 80 per cent, and all
trouble in the department practically
eliminated. Congressman Lloyd's bill,
row pending, provides such remedy.
Payment on the weight plan, that is
payment for the weight of the mail
carried and the distance it is trans
ported, is in the strictest possible sense
payment according to the service rem
dered, and if the plan were admins
tered properly by the department, that
is, if the mails were weighed with
sufficient frequency, it would certainly
result in the payments being fairly dis
tributed.'

Railroads Boost
Southern Goods

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April I'll
With the view of extending their efforts
to promote the sale of southern made
goods in the South American countries,
Southern Railway, Queen and Crescent
Route, and the Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road, will send their South American
Agent, Mr.. Charles Lyon Chandler, on
a tour through South America this
summer. He will leave in July and
visit Brfazil, Argentina and Uruguay,
where the opportunities are now par
ticularly bright for extension of Amer
lean trade because of the European
War. Mr.. Chandler made similar
trip last year.
Mr.. Chandler will interview the
merchants and buyers of the three re-
publics and investigate trade oppor-
tunities generally in order to be able
to advise southern merchants and
manufacturers where and how to place
their products to the greatest advant-
ase. While on this trip, his service will
be at the disposal of Southern firms
who are anxious to have specific trade
opportunities investigated for them,
and will also be glad to assist and
promote their trade there in any way
possible. Firms desiring Mr.. Chandler
to represent them should address him
at 1872 James Building, Chattanooga.
No charge will be made for this serv-
ice, the work being part of the South
ems general scheme for developing
the south.
i There is particularly good markets
for Southern cotton goods in Argentina
and Uruguay at the present time" de-
clares Mr.. Chandler, land over $780,
100000 worth of cotton fabrics, piece
goods, both bleached and colored, could
be sold to Argentine Republic alone
from the Southern States. We only
export 2S,OOO,OOO worth of cotton piece
goods annually while our exports OF
automobiles amount to .$33,000,000!
The South Americans are now looking
to the United States for manufactured
goods and other products necessary in
their every day life, and there is nc
treason why the South shouldd not get I
full share fthe business if it is sought
il the proper way"

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands Of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does
not rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent 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 ptomine-like poisons 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 morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulations of indigestible waste
and body toxins. Men and women,
whether sick or we'll, are advised to
drink eachh morning, before break
fast, a glass of real hot water with a
tablespoonful of limestone phosphate
in it, as a harmless means of washing
out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
will not cost much at the drug store,
but is sufficient to demonstrate to
anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and
freshening effect upon the system.

LARGE ENROLMENT
BOY AND GIRL CLUB

ATHENS, Ca, April 21.-The largest
number of boys and girls ever enrolled
in agricultural clubs in Georgia has
been obtained this year. Final reports
coming in after closing the enrolment
April 1 shows that over 10000 boys
and girls have taken up the work in
corn clubs, canning clubs, pig clubs,
poultry clubs and four-crop clubs.
President Soule of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture, speaking of the
prospects, states that they are the
brightest in the history of the club
movement in Georgia, and that with a
favorable season he looks for the larg
est averages in production in all the
clubs, that have yet been recorded.
Most hearty support has been given in
organizing the clubs by the school au-
tAorities, teachers, business men,
county officials and farmers. The en-
thusiasm among the club members was
lnever so great and their contribution
to eGorgia's agricultural progress new
err so promising as at present, is DR..
Soule's opinion.
The club work, as we'll as the eX-
tension and demonstration work in
general in Georgia, is in charge of J.
Phil Campbell, Director of the Extens-
ion Division of the Georgia State Col .
lege of Agriculture, who has been
pushing the enrolment campaign.
President Soule states that the de-
monstration work of the county agents
is also moving forward very success
fully during the season of crop plant
ing. Though high-priced cotton will
induce large acreage of that crop, the
evidence obtained through the county
agents is that farmers are planning to
live on home products and thus be pre-
pared for Universities better than here
tCfore According to President Soule
soil building is becoming more and
more a fixed policy of the Georgia
farmer which means a policy of crop
Investigations and more livestock.
; In the territory threatened by the
boil weevil, the county agents are rend.

are being looked to by cotton farmer;

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY sage TEA
A Few Applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur Brings Back its VigOr,
Color, Gloss and YOuthfullness

Common garden sage brewed into IA
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revel-
alton if your hair is fading, streaked
Or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition Of
other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing jall gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.
