If you sent a commission to India

the enlightened, progressive Of those
powerful nations manage to live on
even less than $3.50 per week for five
people. Travellers inform US that the
working people of these countries
live on less than 10 cents a day. What
we want to know is how they do it.
If we master the principles of
birth control now being advocated
and reduce our living cost we will

stand that their own development is
made up of the intellectually of all:
that whatever the heights they be-

to the multitude.
If they strain to rise above the null

In science, as in art and literature,

In spite of intellectual compress

GERMAN AMERICAN
ALLIANCE OBSERVES
GER MA N D AZ

German Day." day dear to the
hearts of every true German-Ameri-
can, will be observed in Pensacola
this year by the German-American
Alliance on Wednesday, October 18,
at e. of P. Hall on Intendencia street,
in manner that will rival all pre-
ceding celebrations held in this city
in the observation of this memorable
German holiday.
German Day" is nothing more or
less than a Memorial Day" for all
Americans of German birth, and al
though the authentic date of the oc-
casion is October 6, it is usually cele-
brated on any day during the month
of October. 1t was on the 9th day of
October, sometime during the seven
teenth century (the exact year UNI
known to the writer) that the first
German settlers to immigrate to this
| country landed in the state of Penn
sylvania under the leadership Of the
great German patriot, Pastorius. The
day has been held in reverence ever
since, and each year on the 9Th day
of October or at least during the
month of October, as in Pensacola, in
honor of this notable occasion, Ger
man-Americans have celebrated in a
manner BETTING such an important
i epoch in American history.
i The program this year is in keep
ing with the high standard Of enter
tainment usually offered by the Ger
man-American Alliance" and the re-
freshments will be such as only q
good old German "chef" can prepare

ARGUMENTS ON CORN
RATE PROTEST WILL
BE HEARD TOMORROW

Secretary James F. Phillips of the
Chamber of Commerce, will leave to-
day for Mariana, where he will ap-
pear before the State Railroad Com
mission in special session there to-
morrow, and submit data in an at
tempt to procure lower rate on
shipments of corn than is in opera
ton at present.
Mr.. Phillips has been busily en-
gagged collecting the necessary infor-
nation and preparing it in its proper
form. 1t is contended that the pres
ent rate which the L. & N. is charg-
ing for corn shipments in West Flor
ida is double the rate charged in in
terstate shipments 1t is probable
that Mr.. Phillips viii be accompanied
by representatives from wholesale
firms of Pensacola.
The point of contention is plainly
shown in the following letter from
Senator w. II. Milton, to Mr.. Phil
lips:
Dear Sir:
Some time last summer / had a
quantity of corn on hand that / de-
sired to sell. A wholesale merchant
of your city told me that he would

POISON FACTORY
Urges everyone to drink glass of
hot water before
breakfast.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of
ashes, so the food and drink taken
day after day leaves in the alimen-
tary canal certain amount of in
digestible material, which if not
completely eliminated from the sys-
tenn each day, becomes food for the
millions of bacteria which infest the
bowels. From this mass of leftover
waste, toxins and ptomainelike pois-
ons are formed and sucked into the
blood.
Men and women who can't get
feeling right must begin to take in
side baths. Before eating breakfast
each morning drink glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire ali
mentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick
headache, colds, biliousness, consti-
patton, others who wake up with bad
taste, foul breath backache, rheu-
matte stiffness, or have a sour, gassy
stomach after meals, are urged to
get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from the drug store, and
begin practicing internal sanitation
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing
poor health, while the bowel pores
do. Just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels.-Adv.

piled to the L. & n. for a rate on
corn from Mariana to Pensacola and
found that the only rate they had was
18c cwt. This seemed an excessive
rate, and / applied to them for a low
er rate in car lots, but was told this
rate Of 18c per cwt- was the only rate
obtainable.
I ascertained that the rate on corn
in car lots from Henderson, KY,
where the wholesale merchants
bought corn, to Pensacola, was 10c
per cwt. for a distance or about 750
miles as against 18c for distance of
1876 miles from Mariana to Pensa-
cola. Therefore, on account of this
excessive freight rate I could not sell
my corn in Pensacola.
As the boil weevil had invaded West
Florida, and knew would practically
eliminate the cotton crop as a cash
crop, it was necessary for the farm
ers of West Florida to have some
other crop as cash crop, and the one
most suitable TO our soil and climate
was corn, and had planted heavily
of corn. Therefore, in order that |
might procure a rate by which the
farmers of West Florida could ship
corn this fall applied to Mr.. Dill
lard, Mr.. DeFuniak and Mr.. Compton,
all of the L. & n. r. R., requesting
that we be given rate of 10c per
cwt. from Mariana to Pensacola, on
corn in car lots, but this was refused.
I then applied to the Railroad Com
mission and requested that reason.

tween Florida points. The Railroad
Commission took the matter up will
the three large railroads in Florida
with the result that the A. c. l.. ane

their request and put in reasonable
rates on those railroads, and ther
went further and put in reasonable
rates from Florida to eastern points
on corn. The L. & N. r. r. refuseC
to put in these rates, and the rail
road commission invited them to ap
pear at certain time and show cause
why they could not put them in.
Quite a number of petitions wer'
sent to the railroad commission from
West Florida business men asking
them to put in these rates. Thes'
rates are very much needed now, al

Percy Stewart, colored, obtained
Saturday night, resulted in Bob
Stewart, his cousin, being badly cut
on the arm and back, and catching
a 40-day jail-sentence for refusing
to tell where he had bought some
whisky. Sam Guest, also procured
some booze for Percy he said, but
couldn't or wouldn't tell where it
came from and Judge Dawson put
Sam in for 20 days, in order to give
his time to refresh his memory. A
jury which tried Babe Hansford on
similar charge, was unable to agree
and he will be tried again. Albert
Jones, who was caught coming out
of the Tudor poultry pens with sew
eral hens, was held over to await
the grand jury which convenes next

EX.LINCOLNITES BUY FARM.

A lockwood, Tenn, paper last
week had the following about two
former Lincoln county men: The
firm of William Bros, local livery
men, composed of j. B. and ]. H.
Williams, have this week week clos
ed deal whereby they become the
owners of the nice farm at Post
oak, one of the most valuable tracts
of land in this end of the county.
In the trade Miss Della Smith re-
tains five acres in the southwest
corner of the place as a homestead
during her lifetime, and after her
death this tract reverts to the pur-
chasers. The William Bros, came to
lockwood several months ago from
Norma and engaged in the livery
business. They are practical live
stock men and will convert the farm
into one for the breeding and hand
ling of all kinds of live stock. The
land is also to be improved and
while considerable farming will be
carried on, stock farming will be
the feature. The tract contains 532
acres. 1t lies splendidly and it sit
uated only four miles from Rock
wood on the Kingston pike. The res
idence on the place was burned a
couple of years ago, and it is prob
able that a new home will he erect
ed on the site of the old one by the
owners. The farm is to be given
over to practical workers, and it is
stated that if plans do not miscar-
ry the place will soon be one of
the beauty spots of Roane county
The new owners of the property
have been congratulated upon their
valuable acquisition.

men were squirrel hunting, neither

young man about 25 years old,
saw what he thought was a squirrel.
He fired and upon reaching the
place found he had shot Cole thru
the head. Medical aid was summon

was notified and went to Salvisa,
svhere he held the inquest. The cor

WANT MEN AT BIG PAY
Man From Factory at Dayton, O.,
Says Workers are Badly Needed

w. o. Davis, of the Platt Iron
Works, of Dayton, Ohio, has been in
Kentucky for several days visiting
at his former home in Danville, and
endeavoring to secure some work
men to take back to the big plant in
which he has an important position
He says that war orders are swamp
ing the big factories in Ohio and
that jobs can be had for the asking.
Wages from So to $14 a day are be-
ing paid he says, according to the
skill which the workman shows. In
the iron works in which Mr.. Davis
is employed nothing but the outside
shell for sharpnel shells is made; in
other factories in Dayton, the inner
shell and filler is made. His con-
Germ is working on an enormous con-
tract with the Russian government.
1t is working 1000 men on the day
shift and 1000 men on the night
shift. All of the material which is
manufactured in Dayton, he says is
shipped from there to Canada and
thence sent over the seas to Rus
STA by the western route across the
Pacific ocean. Mr.. Davis says that he
has always noticed a number of
idlers and men out of jobs in Ken
lucky towns and he will guarantee
to furnish good paying jobs for all
who are willing to go to Dayton
and work. He will go to Kings
Mountain on a visit the last of this
week he says, and hopes to find
some workers there to take back.
He was in Stanford Wednesday.
