DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
VISITS MOULTRIE
COMMERCIAL BUILDING CITY'S
LARGEST STRUCTURE, is
TOTAL WRECK

IMoultrie, Dec, 6.--The Commercial
Building, Moultries largest structure
stands almost total wreck today as
the result Of fire which broke out
on the top floor last night about II
o'clock and ragged for mere than four
hours before being extinguished.
The damage to the building and
the losses sustained by it's tenants are
about $4,000, according to estimates
made this morning. This is offset by
$4,000 insurance.
At midnight the flames were burn
ing so furiously that it appeared as
if the situation would get beyond the
control Of the local fire department
and Thomasville was called upon for
help. That city sent a truck here
but at the time of its arrival the fire
was nearly under control and it was
not put into service.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by electric wire trouble. The
flames caught in rooms occupied by
the local Red Cross chapter, in which
good deal of infamable material
was stored.
The building was used principally
as an Office building The ground
floor, however, housed the citizens
Bank and three stores. The fire did
not reach this floor, however but the
stores were badly damaged by smoke
and water.
The annex Of the building, occupied
by the general offices Of the Georgia
Northern Railway compay, was only
slightly damaged.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
TAKE A TABLESPOONFUL OF
SALTS If BACK HURTS OR
BLADDER TROUBLE.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid says
a well known authority, who warns us
to be constantly Oh the guard for kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but be-
come weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the body to poison the whole system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full if sediment, or the bladder
is irritating, obliging you to seek r.
lief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about fou, ounces IF
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful be,
fore breakfast each morning ard in a
few days your kidneys will act rln".
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
cloged kidneys, to neutralize the acids
in urine so it is no longer a source o.
irritation, thus ending urinary and blad
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and connot
injure; makes a delightful efierves-
cent lithia-water drink and nobody
can make a mistake in taking little
occasionally to keep the Kidneys clean
and active

the decaying wood and cover the

Head and Tall Of an Alligator by

AS for the alligator caught by Newt

of having a taste for hyperbole, for
I knew of an alligator more than twice
as long. I learned of this one time

known hotel man in Baraboo and at
Devils Lake for many years. Mr..
Pearl kept the cleanest OF hotels. and
had a gift for storytelling His many
old friends know how his stories could
be depended upon. In his younger
days Mr.. Pearl ran an engine on
southern railway. One day, as we
sat on the porch Of the old Western
hotel, located where is now the store
of A. Reinking. Mr.. Pearl told me OF
an alligator which he saw In Mobile.

Deer Story

Some of my friends were much dis
turbed three years ago because / had
lived in the woods of Sank county all
my life and had never seen a bear.
Through recent issues of this paper
I learn they are still turbulent. Well,
I might have told bear story just as
lots Of others did at that time, but it
would have been an untruth, and
would sooner hover in the shadow of
glory than to force myself into the
limelight by telling a lie. But I am
going to tell You deer story, and al
though not quite as wild and shaggy
as bear story, it won't hurt you any
to hear it, and am just aching to ex-
pound it.
Back IN 1S77-or about that year
Baraboo had gun club, and Sank City
ditto. Now Sank had live deer and
they invited the clubs from nearby
towns to come over and shoot for 1t,

GROW SHEEP

Wool is now worth forty cents a
Round and hard to get. Never before
in the history of this country was the
opportunity so great for making big
sAoney by raising sheep. In Indiana
Mere is a law providing the tax paid
"a dogs goes to a fund to pay for
aheep killed by dogs. This is a good
law and should be in force in Wis
sonsin. In this state there are too
Many dogs and not enough sheep.
Better raise sheep with wool at 40
ssnts a pound than dogs that are
worth little or nothing. But, forty
cent wool is with us, and those who
wear wool must pay the high cost.

THE. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
GERMANY AND AMERICA

The difference between the system
of government in America and Ger
many is this: In German militarism
is the condition of the state in which
the military classes control the pol
icies of the government. The divine
rights of kings and plural voting &C
count for the condition. In the
United States questions and policies
are settled by the people. An ex-
change says the difference between
this country and Germany may be
expressed in another way. BY the
constitution of the United States
the military :. m of the government
is made subject to the civil arm of
the government. That means that
congress controls all military exer-
else of force and power. In Germany
the civil arm is made subject to the
military arm, and the situation is re-
versed. There the kaiser and the
Prussian military class are the CEN
ter of power and not the people.

A TEXT FOR A PACIFIST

What text for the pacifist is the
cablegram sent by Austin Y. Hoy to
the president! How a peace-at-any-
price apostle could dilate upon the
unseemly grief and untempered indig-
aation of an American citizen who
has suffered nothing but the loss of a
dearly loved mother and sister who
Rerished slowly from exposure in an
spen boat and an icy sea when the
Of two torpedoes! How easy, not to
say inspiring, it would be for some
constitutional gobbler of insults to
point out that Mr.. Hoy is wrong in
asking that his country no longer re-
main passive under outrage; in threat
ening, if it does, to seek a mans
Chance under another flag" Yet,
whatever the pacifist may say, we do
not for one moment believe that the
spirit OF real Americanism is so dead
er dormant that there will not be in
millions Of hearts and upon millions
Of tongues sympathetic response to
she profound emotion stirring this
young mans soul.-Brooklyn Eagle.

NO TIME TO PLAY POLITICS

What is between the German feet
and the United States? Just one
thing-the English feet. For the
English navy to be destroyed would
mean that the issue on the high seas
must be fought between this country
and the central powers, unless diff
ferent condition should arise.
The other day at Washington
twelve senators blocked the wish Of
the president, blocked the action Of
the senate, blocked the wish Of a ma
jority of the people Of this republic.
The twelve senators are La Toilette,
Vardaman, Gronna, Cummings, Ken
yon, Works, Norris, Clapp. Kirby.
Lane. Stone and O'Gorman. BY Al
ibuster these twelve men prevented
the majority from expressing their
desires. After this government had
stood what it had from Germany. it
was no time for playing politics. It
was a rule of the senate of which the
minority took advantage, and which
has resulted in bringing down the in
dignation of the whole country on
their heads. The people had no OBJ
lection to minority members express
ing opposition to giving the president
the power he asked, but think they
should not have stood in the way OF
the great majority of the senators.
America is country where the ma
iority are supposed to rule, and in
this case the blocking Of the desire
could be none other than temporary.
Democracy must not be blocked In
any such manner as La Toilette and
his colleagues devised. There may
be occasions when filibuster Is JUS
tifiable, but not when this country is
on the brink of war and when Amer
fcan rights are being trampled in
scorn.
The excuse for their action Is ex-
planned by some of the senators that
they did not desire the president I'd
have the power provided by the bill.
There were other reasons, but that is
the main one. Whether or not the
twelve men were right or wrong, his
tory will show. TIL majority do not
think so. 1t was un-American.

no doubt times when diseased It's
sue should be cut away. Often per-
sons permit the disease to remain,
and other parts become impaired, just
like one decaying apple in barrel
will spoil number of others. The
human body Is machine and needs
care just the same as an automobile
OF locomotive. 1t cannot do it's work
properly if some part is not perform
ing it's proper function. If you do
not get relief from one physician, try
another.
If the one you call cannot diagnose
the case, dismiss him and summon
another. II you do not improve, find
out the reason why. Often physi-
clans take chances by treating when
they do not actually know the trou-
BILE. If something goes wrong with
machine, you find out where. The
same should be the rule with per-
son. 1t will reduce the expense by
using a proper method and by not
delaying. A stitch >in time saves
nine, is a good adage to follow.

Yet watch for these towns to grow.

Only a few buildings, and shacks,
Hid away in the foothills,
Far in advance of the tracks.

Fearing naught but the Makers hand
Conquering even the elements
AS a foe would conquer the land.
Toiling, rejoicing, Borrowing,
For each has sorrow and hope,
Looking ahead to the morrow,
And not at the days that have broke.
Few there are think Of glory,
Or value little renown;
They are thinking first of duty,
And the miles which lie beyond.
There are men, women and children,
From farm and city life;
Men from the hills and the rivers,
Eagerly enjoying the strife.
Men from the rock-bound Atlantic,
Men from the sunny Gulf States;
Men from the Golden Pacific
And men from the head Of the
Lakes.
Giving up kin folks and loved ones,
Comforts and pleasures, and all,
