Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver
and You Lose a Days Work
There's no reason why a per-
son should take sickening, sail
waiting calomel when so cents
buys a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute
for calomel.
1t is a pleasant vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just
as surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and cannot sal
ivate.
Children and grown folks take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it
is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
1t is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty
calomei today and you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose a days
work. Take a spoonful of bod
sons Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation,
sluggishness, headache. coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your
druggist says if you don't find
blossoms Liver Tone acts better
than horrible calomel your mon
ey is waiting for you. 3

SOLITUDE.
Thomson, q

Laugh and the world laughs with you;
Weep. and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow
it's mirth,
1t has trouble enough of its own
Sing and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost in the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men viii seek you;
Grieye, and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all your
pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all;
There are none to decline your nee
tar'd wine,
But alone you must drink life's
gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded:
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you to
live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleas
ure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow isles of pain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

HOW DO YOU FIGURE THIS?

Ever since the time when the old
fashioned temperance lecturer came
around and gave his address in the
Sunday school room, with all his fear
full and wonderful charts of the human
anatomy as it appears before and after
absorbing alcohol, and w MS jars
full of various articles is 'arious
stages of decomposition or preserva-
.tion, and with his breath smelling sus-
piciously of something stronger than
tea-ever since then the physical facts
,oi the prohibition question have been a
puzzle to us.
We were told then, as we are told
now, that every year more men were
turning to temperance, pledging them
selves to the union, and adopting the
little bow of white ribbon as their
chief insignia in life. We remember
how, after each lecture, the little boys.
who always sat on the front seat where
they could get a close view of the
charts, would be the first to stand up
and take the pledge of total abstinence.
and how a few others who either had
i never taken drink at all or who,
POSSIBLY even then, had had too many,
would sign the pledge.
We thought in those days that any
whisky -drinker was curse to man.
kind, unfaithful to his family and to
himself, an enemy to his country and
scourge on the face of the earth-and,
when you get right down to it, he is
jail that, and we really think so yet.
We at least have retained those i'm
pressions and opinions out of our at
tendance upon temperance lectures,
given under the auspices of the w. c.
IT u" so many years ago
At any rate we've observed that the
annual federal statement on the pro-
duction and consumption of alcoholic
beverages has just been published, and
it only serves to make the prohibition
question a still greater mystery to us.
Possibly the subject is an abstruse
one, too deep for an obtuse intellect.
Perhaps it must be worked out in al
zebra or calculus, and is beyond the

A lesson in Peanuts.

A South Georgia contemporary cites
as "a lesson in peanuts" that a Crisp
county farmer has 300 acres in goot-
ers from which he expects a Yell Of
$4,000 to 10000 bushels estimated to
be worth $4,000, besides $4,000 worth
Of hay, giving him a $4,000 crop and
approximately 500 per acre.
We have a lesson in peanuts on
practically every farm here in Terrell
county, and tremendous yield is ex-
pected from this crop. The work of
gathering them, which is already ac-
lively under way, is giving employ
ment to a large numeb of laborers.
Some of the show places out from
Dawson are fields of two to seven
hundred acres in peanuts, and in every
direction one may see fields in which
the vines of nuts are already stacked
and brown.
The oil mills of the city are pre-
pared to take care of the crop, and
the good prices prevailing make it i'm
portant that there be no waste in har-
vesting and marketing Dawson News.

THE Y. NJ. c. A.

In the excitement of the hour over
the war, and with plenty and pros
perity all around about US, We are
likely to overlook some of the things
not quite so material, which mean
just as much to us and great deal
more to those who come after us.
One of the important factors in the
moral life of the city is an institu-
ton to which only too little attention
and serious thought have been devoted
III recent months. 1t is the Young
Mems Christian Association, Familiarity
and universally called the Y. NJ. c.
"A, What the Y. M. G. A. contributes
.or should contribute, to the welfare OF
any community cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents. But it takes dol
lars and cents, it takes public-spirited
support, it takes generous philan-
thropy to maintain it.
Americas should have the best Y
hi. c. A. of any city of its size in the
south, even with so many young men
having gone to the front to serve
their nation. There are still many
men here above draft age, and as
many more under age, to whom the
Y. NJ, G. A. would make a forceful
and successful appeal, if it were only
properly presented to them and
brought into their lives. The boys
ard men whom the P. NJ. c. A. in
fuences are those whose who, sooner
or later, will be active in that phase
CT cur civic and public life which
stands for righteousness and morality
1t will pay the city of Americas
many times over to reestablish the
Y. M. C. A. until it can stand erect
.of its own strength and ask odds o.
mo one. The returns may not be OBJ
vious, but they will be certain. They
will be found in healthier bodies
cleaner minds, better citizenship, more
ambitious boys. The effect of the Y
NJ. c. A. activities will permeate every
sphere of life in Americas.
There is now no General appeal be
fore the people of Americas in be
half of the local Y, NJ C. A., but the
Times-Recorder regards the presen
as an occasion most propitious fol
suggesting such a campaign. To-
much cannot be done for the Y. n
C. A, and the more that is done tn
more Americas will realize on the in
vestment.
