cus for kidnapping Miss Elom Davis,
a popular 16-year old Terrell county

Rome, May 1S.-The cabinet issued
orders today prohibiting the importa-
ton of Injuries and bulky articles
which are not of prime necessity,

considering establishing a maximum

more extended use of female labor

Life is not merely to live, but
to live well, eat we'll, digest well,
work well, sleep well, look well.
What a glorious condition to
attain, and yet how very easy it is
if one will only adopt the morning
inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when they
arise, splitting headache, stuffy
from a cold, foul tongue, nasty
breath, acid stomach, can, instead,
feel as fresh as a daisy by Open
ing the sluices Of the system each
morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick
or we'll, should, each morning,
before breakfast, drink glass
Of real hot water with a teaspoon
full Of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sWeetening and puri-

flying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into
the stomach. The action of hot
water and limestone phosphate
on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out
all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one
splendid appetite for breakfast.
While. you are enjoying your
breakfast the water and phos-
phate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood
and getting ready for a thorough
flushing of all the inside organs.
The millions of peope who
are bothered with constipation,
bilious spells, stomach trouble,
rheumatism; others who have
sallow skins, blood disorders and
siclzly compilations are urged to
get a quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from the drug store,
which will cost but little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of
internal sanitation.

This action followed the receipt Oh

TO CARRY IN LESLIE

Leslie, Ga, May 1S.-On Tuesday
an election was held in Leslie to de-
termine the question of issuing bonds
to erect a modern school house. The
bonds, unfortunately, were not voted,
ewing to the fact that two-third ma
iority of the voters did not express
their approval of the proposition. AL
ready plans for the school building
had been secured by the school trus
tees, and provided for handsome
structure ample to accommodate the
school needs of this community for

Village jail more than one year
ago the town has been without
a place to confne law breakers.
This matter would have been
taken up sooner by the trustees
but it was thought best to get
the water problem solved before
undertaking anything c sc y.
Now there are funds in the
treasury to complete the water
works system as was planned
and the much needed jail will
probably be provided for at the
next meeting of the board.

a chance to make an investment.
And then there is another thing
he is a reliable man. He does good
work. He will not smooth over bad
work. He is honest in whatever he
does. Every dollar he gets represents
just that much Of honest labor. II is
this, largely, that makes him pros

The prosperity of Columbus
is evidenced by the number of
real estate deals being made.
The Townsite Company are
selling lots every day and are
getting a fancy price for bust
ness lots. T. A. Hulscy, IN
the Hulsey.C Carl addition has
sold over fifty lots within the
past month, beside a large mum
Der he sold in the Rice addition.
The original owner Of the Rice
property does not own a single
lot now, every one having been
sold. Houses for rent bring
the investor a high rate of in
terest while many of the men
who have money to build hold
back because the are afraid that
present conditions are not per.
manent. We can cite such
men to a certain man in this
town who was afraid four years
ago to build a few houses for
rent. Others who were not
afraid and built have had their
houses occupied during all this
time and still this one man is
afraid to build a house.

The president may feel proud
of his settlement of the railroad
strike, but there are millions of
voters that will never feel proud
of it. He has dealt with this
problem just as the Mexican
situation has been dealt with.
He has STAYED off a crisis tenn
porarily that will in time be-.
come a greater one, and one
that will have to be dealt with
with an iron hand. 1t reminds
us of a man we knew once who
had an old SOW that had earned
to push a rail off the top of a
pair of bars and would get out
every night. He was explain
ing his troubles to a neighbor,
about how he had to chase the
SOW every morning to get her
back in the pen. Why don't
you nail the rail on to the post?'
the neishbor asked him, When
| get the SOW back | am too
tired to bother 18th the rail,
he replied, so he kept chasing
the SOW.
