WOMAN'S CLUB MEETING.

The Woman's Club held it's reg
ular meeting Wednesday after
noon with the president, Mrs. S.
G. Pryor, Sr. presiding who open
ed the meeting with prayer. Mrs.
Pryor then made an appropriate
talk turning the program of the
Health Committee. Mrs. F. A.
Russell, chairman, introduced
DR.. A. G.. Fort, Health Officer of
Tiff and Irwin counties, who
gave a short talk telling of his
work, what it was, how it was
done, and the effect it had on the
community and especially the
children in the public schools. DR..
Fort stressed the point of medi-
cal inspection of school children.
He stated it was surprising the
number OF children who were
found to be defective and how
much could be done to relieve
these conditions. He also men
toned the necessity of the inspec-
ton of all buildings and business
houses that had to do with the
health OF the public such as hotels,
meat markets, etc.
After thanking DR.. Fort for his
instructive talk Mrs. Russell turn
ed the meeting over to the presi-
dent and the regular order of
business was resumed, Mrs. Lon
Dlckey acting as secretary in the
absence OF Mrs. Brewer.
The president stated that the
librarian called the attention of
the club women to book in civic
work, American Women" say
ing it would be of interest and
help, especially to the civic COM
mittee.
Reports from chairman of diff
ferent committees were made, an
important one being made by
Mrs. T. ]. Dickey, chairman, of
Civic Department. Among other
things she mentioned that many
owners of vacant lots had promis-
ed to clean them up and SOW oats
on these bare places. Plans have
been made to beautify the A. B.
and A. depot grounds and all 9th
er small parks in the city. She
especially asks the public to send
donations of flowers and plants
to her and they will be appreci-
ated. She mentioned the fact that
until the walks about the library
building were laid no identifying
OF the grounds could be made.
A rising vote of thanks was
given the committee who had
charge of the beautiful entertain
ment of Grandmother's Day.
1t was decided that the Health
COMMITTEE will have on sale Red
Cross seals which the public is
urged to use on Christmas pack
ages as they have the promise
that part of the money will be
used locally this year instead of
sent out of town as heretofore.
The house committee was in
structed to devise some means to
make additions and improvements
that were necessary in the club
rooms.
The secretary read letter from
Mr.. Will Adams, postmaster,
which was very gratifying for the
reason that work of cleaning up
had already been begun on the
grounds surrounding the post Of
fee.
Mrs. Lawrence Glover's name
was presented for membership
and was unanimously elected.
An interesting letter was read
from Mrs. Nellie Peters Black.

Says a glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.
This excellent, comn1on.sense
health measure being
adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more importance than outside
cleanliness, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood,
causing i'll health, while the pores
in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with Il teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, Kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toxins 4;
-hus cleansing, sweetening and purify
4ng the entire alimeutary canal before

Those who wake up with bad breath
coated tongue, nasty taste or have a
duh, aching head, sallow complexion
acid stomach; others who are subject
to bilious attacks or constipation
should obtain a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store
This will cost very little but is suffi
cient to demonstrate the value of in
side bathing. Those who continue i
each morning are assured of pro
nounced results, both in regard t.
