A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, ChiIls, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. Gastons
of this place, writes: II am user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
1t was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when 1
was a child. When any of us child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
a dose of Black raught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills. or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black raught pretty reg.
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for 1t certainly has saved US lots or
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black
Draught when not so well saves
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles. and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof OF Its merit.
II your liver is not doing Its duty
YOU will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.
and unless something Is dones serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, ana
acts in a prompt and natural way
regulating the liver to Its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
Impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thea-
ford's, the original and genuine. u %

"THE LONDON BUGLE "

We are glad to learn that after court we
will have more hay and less hell in the
pasture.
The honorable court seems to think
when man can eat, and sleep all right and
has no appetite for work, he is not sick
butshould be given job on the rock pile.
Mag Collins, the London timber boss,
met with a peculiar accident, while attend
ing court, Tuesday-he sat down on tack
and tore hole in his law suit.
We understand that ]. Smith jumped
through one of the changing house win
dows at Mcpherson, last week, while run
ming from the tightening. He says it will
have to go some if it keeps up with him.
If yoa like fancy wine-call for "Erick

We thing that the company should fur
nish an umbrella to hold over the diamond
drill men to protect them from showers OF
balk ground, as small crack sprang in the
back of the drift, Saturday, and scared out
the whole squirt
We understand that the honorable court
is planning to tear down the pasture fence.
AS he wishes to enforce the no-fence-laW.
1t seems that if whiskey bottles had
nipples some people would be babies al
ways.
Squirt Arlington met with painful ac-
cident while playing with rat. He got his
diamond bit.
The boys have began to realize that the
''bone dry" law is no dream-buta horrible
night mare.
We noticed that the court officials are
demonstration new separating machine,
that is guaranteed to separate the boys
from their money. Itrequires no gasoline,
lust little bone dry crank her off and it
will do the rest.
Some of the London boys Witnessed
sad sight, while attending court, Monday
They saw twrlve jurors hung and one OF
them a preacher. They say they have
heard of men being hung on the gallows,
limbs, steel bridges telegraph poles, but
they never heard Of so many men being
hung on a whiskey case.

Gratifying.

Over in Crisp and Dooly counties
the papers have taken UP the fight
for better schools" through the ONE
sure channel-adyocatin the consoli-
dation of the Rural and City Schools
under one Board of Education and
under one Superintendent. 1t is graft
flying to see so many of our neighbors
awakening after so long a time to the
most essential feature in the program
of efficiency in public instruction.
In every county where the dual sys-
tenn maintains, large sums Of money
are spent anslally for which the pub
lie gets but small and Indifferent re-
turn. The several counties in the
state, already organized under the
county unit plan and the many coun-
ties now advocating the change, may
be able to pass a general law. by
which each county in the future may
secure the change by local vote. We
see in this method the most practical
solution of the problem and at the
same time give each county the oppor-
tunity for self government Fitzger-

in the city or county who would board
children under sixteen years of age
while she is making permanent ar

her at once. She has had several chill
dren to dispose of since beginning her
work in COrdele and has permanently
disposed of all of them but one. This
one will be sent to Atlanta this week.
At any time orphan or neglected chill
dren are brought to her she will need
some place to take them to be cared
for. So much board per week will be
paid for these children while they are
being cared for.
Mrs. E. M. Mann, J. R. Kelly, and

SAVE WINTER OATS.

Farmers in the south who have win.
ter oats of good quality are urged to
save them for seed rather than to
feed them. This crop was killed very
generally over the south last winter,
and specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture say the in
dications are that the seed supply
will be very short. Many counties in
the Southeastern States will have to
purchase all their seed from other To-
talities, and those favored sections
where a partial or full crop was pro-
duced should save every available
bushel to meet this demand Farmers
are urged to feed corn or other grain
to work stock or to purchase northern
grown spring oats for feeding in order
TO save the winter oats for sowing.
Because of the scarcity of winter
oats of good quality those who have
them are quite sure to profit by saw
ing them for seed rather than feeding
them. Farmers who do not know
where they can sell seed oats should
communicate with their county agent
the director of their state experiment
station. or r. A. Oakley. chairman,
Committee on Seed Stocks. United
States Department of Agriculture
Washington, d. c. Present indica-
tons are that there will be a ready
market for all good seed of this crop
this year.

THE PEOPLE TO THE RESCUE.

Since the Dispatch dared to uncov-
er some of the meanness that is chok.
ing the life out of our schools, the
star performers have whetted their
knives for a death struggle and they
are slashing, In the good old ward
heeling style they are going from one
to another trying to make the honest
heads of the families of this commun.
ity believe that the Dispatch cares
wants to bury newspaper competi,
Tor. Well, that isn't true. Not many
people believe it, If the Dispatch
knows itself, it has been much fairer
with a business competitor than it
has been with is own self.
1t isn't that. We do not want to
destroy any good work. We want to
warn the people of Cordele again and
again until they know the real truth.
The schools of Cordele have been used
many year as political plumber. Two
men alone, the spokesman for CO.
terie of politicians in Cordele, are
now pledged to rule or ruin the sys-
ten. That same thing has been done
in this same way in other years. One
Of these men by his very presence on
the board has driven from the schools

widened this fall, it will come only
through the individual business mans
effort to increase his own volume.
This will be your best time to prove
yourself a business hustler. 1t will
be easy to find the buying public.
Those who 60 after business now
even, are finding glorious results. It
is your time TO move There will be
no dull moments in your shop if you

SANITARY SCIENCE.
Of the live on

Hygiene is the art of preserving
health; that is, of obtaining the most
perfect action of body and mind dur
ing as long period as is consistent
with the laws of life" So wrote a
man who devoted all his adult life
to the promotion of the public health
and who died at the age of Sc of pull
monary tuberculosis. Edmund Alex,
ander Parkes, born March 29, 1919,
surgeon, sanitarian and au-
thor left perhaps a greater impress on
sanitary science than any English
man of the nineteenth century. His
work ranges from the theoretical con.
sideration of the minute details of
chemical and cleansing of a sewer to
the Tightening of the soldiers KNAPP
sack. India, the Crimea and London
saw his labours and benefited there
by.
War brings some good things in it's
train. Just as the Napoleonic cam
paigns perfected the art of transport
ing the sick, and the loss of life from
preventable disease in the Spanish
war quickened the sanitary conscience
of the American people, so the hor.
rors of the Crimean campaign made
Parkes a professor of military n.y.
giene. He organized complete course
of instruction based on the principle
that the student must be able to prac-
tically apply the lessons which he
learned. Many of the sanitary re-
forms which he inaugurated are now
bearing fruit in the Improvement of
the wellbeing of the community at
large
Health is the efficient reaction of
the mind and body to its environment.
Self interest, state-benefit and pecu-
riary profit require that the whole ma.
ton be interested in the proper treat
ment of every one of its members and
lin its own interest it has the rigb'

lied in the United States today as
never before and on every hand the
general governmnt, the state and the
local health authorities and the gen.
eral public are seen striving toward
the accomplishment of this ideal.
The government is extending the
time for registration indefinitely. The
one day practically completed the
work, but others have shown up and
cards have been sent in from out OF
the county till there is a creditable
number to be added to last Tuesdays
work. This is the best that could be
substituted for the much talked of
arrests and prosecutions. Uncle Sam
always deals fairly and al ways makes
it possible for man to do his duty.
