GLAD TO SAY GOOD
WORD FOR DRECO
Resides at 613 Penn. Ave. ). +. Ke-
lates What Dreco Did for Her After
q Severe Case of Grippe.

When one neglects their condition
and thew suffer with headaches, back
ache, dizzy, poor circulation, unsound
sleep or constipation, it is well to re-
member that these symptoms OF
stomach trouble are bound to lead 10
more serious trouble. Give your
stomach a chance to make good; help
it that YOU may again have that vim,
energy and vigor,clean tongue sweet
breath, clear complexion, and be
able to sleep the night through and
to eat the food you crave without
fear of the consequences. The new
system tonic, Dreco, now being intro
duced here, will assist that much
abused organ-the stomach-to ac-
complish these results.
Many Washington people are daily
testifying that they have regained
their health through the use Of Dreco.
Recently the signed statement OF MIS-.
Louise NJ. Cox, of 613 Pennsylvania
Avenue, southeast, and one of Wash
ineton's weIl-known citizens, was re-
ceived. She says: 81 had a severe
spell of the grippe during the winter
and it settled in my throat, leaving
it sore and paining me most all the
time. Nothing | took seemed to help
me. although l used many different
things. So many people were speak
ing in such high terms of Dreco | de-
cided to try it, and it has done me
more good than anything have done.
The soreness is not near SO bad, and
my general condition is much i'm
proved and | have gained in weight
since taking it. think it 4 splendid
tonic, and shall continue taking it
till ! am entireluy cured"
Dreco is sold and recommended by
Ernest L. Allen and Company, drug

No Truce With KaiSeriSn.

There is nothing new promising in the fore
casts of Germany's reply to the vatican's peace
proposals The tone is still that OF Hohenzollern
autocracy; the suggestions still those of Prus-
sian intrigue. II needs no reiteration from Berlin
to let the world know that the Kaiser is willing to
cry quits to the war in which his black adventure
stands baked, if in so doing he can escape the
penalty'of his million murders and be free to con-
trive a fresh onslaught upon civilization. For
year more it has been obvious that he and his
accomplices were eager for peace provided they
could keep a major portion of their plumber and
go unwhipped of justice, red-handed outlaws
though they were OF course, they are willing to
stop the tide of battle which has turned mex
orably against them. and settle the issue in con-
ference, through treaties which the Allied group
would be honor bound to respect but which they,
wholly devoid of honor would be free to treat
scraps of paper"
But America and her co-defenders of freedom
will hear to no such criminal compromise Be-
cause they are so intensely devoted to real and
righteous peace they will take such substitute
as faithIess autocracy offers. Because they wish
so earnestly to make this the last great war in
stead of mere prologue to still bloodier dramas
they will have none of the Hohenzollern's treach-
erous truce. Whenever the German people want
peace deeply and sincerely enough to put in au-
thority someone whose word can be trusted, then
America and her allies will be ready to consider
terms But there be no parley as long as the
German Government is in the hands of despots
who are lacking utterly in all things that make
up honorable and trustworthy craftsmanship.
Not until those malignant and brutal powers
are overthrown, either from without or within,
can the allied democraces afford to pause in their
good fight for freedom and justice. II the German
people are so welded to Hohenzollern tyranny as
to uphold it at the cost Of their own snd the
worlds happiness and IL they are so devoted to
Junkerdom as to sacrifice their all for the caste
which has despised and oppressed them, then the
German people must take the consequences of
their tragic delusion President Wilson's reply to
the Vatican proposals made doubly clear what
was plain enough before, that so soon as the peo-
pie of the Central Empires, recognizing what a
monstrous crime their militarist masters have
committed against them well against the
world stand ready to deal independently on prin-
cpes of humanity and justice. there will be little
difficulty in arriving at terms But until that
TRANSPORTING hour dawns. the only safe and
righteous course for liberty-loving nations is to
continue their crusade with unbending resolution.

GeOrgia's Livestock Opportunity.

Apropos of the meat shortage, the Sandersville
Progress notes that the price of hogs has more
than doubled since the began, and urges
farmers both in their own interest and for the
country's welfare do their utmost to enlarge and
conserve their nerds" This good counsel undoubt-
edly will be followed wherever present conditions
and prospects are understood. Within the past
three years there has been a decline of
hundred and fifteen million head in the worlds
supply of cattle, swine and sheep.
This loss, though chiefly in the belligerent
countries of Europe, by no means has been
fined to them. The fact is the worlds meat output
showed a marked falng-off long before the war;
and in the United States there has been for a
decade more a positive well relative de-
crease in the production of food animals. Those
conditions of course have been greatly accentuated
by the war; so that today the shortage of meat and
the corresponding prices are unprecedented.
While this condition presents a sorely troublous
problem to consumers who have not learned to
tail their meat allowance it brings to farmers in
states like Georgia unexampled opportunity.
The prices of beef pork and mutton could fall far
below their present high level and still leave animal
husbandry one of the most profitable OF Industries
for farmers who raised their feedstuff,
Georgia farmers easily
No matter how soon the ends how long
1t lasts prices food necessaries of this will
continue to be highly advantageous to the producer.
Livestock Industries have made great strides in
this and neighboring states during the last few
years. Every dollar put into them has proved a
wise investment The years Immediately ahead
offer still richer opportunities

THE GREATEST ENEMY
BV DR.. Frank Crane

Fear is the greatest enemy to the human soul.
At the bottom of almost every Inflammation
of the ego is little puspoint Of fear. II one can
but prick that he is the way to cure.
Every sin, every sorrow, every crime and
shadow that lies upon man woman may be ex-
pressed in terms of fear.
What indescribable misery has been caused by
the fear of God! From that came the long dark
centuries when the world lay tormented by the
nightmare of superstition and intolerance.
Fear is the father of cruelty. Fear dehumanizes.
When the devil make us afraid right to
his hand. 1t is when they are in a panic of fear
that the rattlesnake strikes, the dog bites, the
horse away, the cat scratches the bee stings,
the scorpion attacks, the bull gores the woman les
the man kills.
Fear is the devils other name.
In a mob panic become fends. 1t is fear
that makes the ship captain brutal the slave driver
inhuman. the warden's punishments hard and hid
eous.
Fear has led mothers to burn their children
in idolatrous fires priests to practice human sacri
All the schreckichket of the mad war in Eu-
rope is but the diverse side of fear. 1t is not
age that torpedoes the Lusitania destroys innocent
noncombatants with Zeppelin bombs uses asphyxi-
ating gas, outrages women, mains little children,
refuses food to the starving population of con-
quered territory, and sets typhoid germs in prison
camps; it is frantic fear Turn fear over and its
other side you will see, is cruelty.
1t is from fear-fear of the sneers Of his fell
lows-that the youth poisons himself with alcohol,
loses his money gambling and taints his body in
the house of death.
Worry ig form of fear, fear of the future, of
the purpose of destiny of the grudge of God Of the
sinister design of fate.
Fear of poverty-how it has unloosed the zone of
women, and made cads and crooks of honorable
men!
Acknowledgements is it but fear of others,
making US unlovely boorsh? What an ugly gar
ment is the investment of fear
Fear is probably the cause Of stammering, of al
unpleasant mannerisms.
Shyness and sensitiveness us a deal oil
misery and rob us of much contentment and ease
that by right should be ours They are but fear
forms.
Jealousy chief of heart breakers and love
wreckers is the fear of love- the fierce opposite OF
courageous trust
And finally monarchy, tyranny, absolutism
but fear of the people. 1t takes very high cour-
age to maintain democracy.
No better word can be inscribed on the shield
of youth, going forth to find happiness and the
golden dream, than that which Jehovah gave TO
Joshua when he led his people into the promised
land:

DESPITE the Boil Weepil.

That bale of cotton to the be raised
in Georgia despite the boil weev the wilt and all
other powers of darkness has been demonstrated
on a test patch in Dougherty county, under the
supervision of the State Board of Entomology. In
its interesting account of the experiment, the
Savannah Press says that early-maturing, wilt
resistant variety of cotton was secured and
fortified, cultivated and weevil-picked according
to the advice of experts" the further fact is en-
phasized that the field limited to fifteen
The boil weevi will be worth his weight in gold
many times over If he compels the permanent
adoption of the agricultural methods that mark
this system of cotton-growing Only by intensive
cultivation which requires comparatively small
acreage and by strict observance Of the rules which
scientific experiment has worked is 1t possible to
raise bale of cotton to the acre, or indeed any
cotton at all, under boil weevil conditions. Con-
sequenty, liberal acreage is left for foodstuffs
and all crops are cultivated efficiently. The
net result is that the farmer winds up the year
with his cotton money in bank and his crib and
smokehouse fat with plenty. These conditions
impossible under the all-cotton regime-make for
a happy people and a prosperous Commonwealth.
