ON FEEDING

A Missouri druggist wrote US few
days ago that his wife had suffered
a nervous breakdown and was in a
precarious condition. His doctor adj
vised him to use HEMO, a palatable
matted food.
She had gone. down to 95 pounds
and after few months use of HEMO
she now weighs 121 pounds and stin
gaining flesh. Her vitality has in
creased wonderfully and they are now
converted to the idea that proper
feeding is the thing.
HEMO is the right food for those
generally debilitated from malnutri-
ton, anaemia, chlorosis, also for con-
valescents from surgical treatment,
fevers and wasting diseases.
If your health is impaired, try
HEMO and watch the improvement.

A contract to replace a beacon re-
Gently destroyed by some unidentified
tug and tow, was closed yesterday
by Mayor Thos. Johnson. with the ap-
proval of the other commissioners, and
the work will be started tomorrow. At
that time the contractor, who now has
all things ready to begin, will have
his men on the scene at an early hour
and will place the necessary pilings.
1t will be necessary for the commits
siOners to install new light, for the
lamp formerly in use went into the
stream and was wrecked.
The hurry to replace the beacon is
on account of safety to vessels which
might move about in the vicinity of
Muscogee wharf. The government en-
gineer who is in charge of this dis
trict, insists that the safety beacon
be replaced as soon as practicable,

BIG LIBERTY BOND
CLOCK Is REMOVED

Yesterday morning Postmaster
Hancock had the big Liberty Loan
sign and clock moved from in front
of the postoffice. They were erected
during the campaign, and helped the
campaign to great extent, the clock
proving of particular interest.
They had been allowed to remain
in position by the postmaster as it
was thought that a second Liberty
Loan may be foated at an early
date. As the time has not yet been
announced, it was thought best to
move them until needed again.

Although Belgium did not gain
complete independence from Hol-
land until 1889, the Belgians issued
a declaration of independence as
early as 1880.
October 4 is the date which cor
responds to our July 4.
This was durin the revolt

pendence and neutrality was recog-

Europe, but Holland refused to
give up that country. Settlement
finally was made in 1899, when
Belgium was recognized as a

The first step toward Serbian in
dependence was taken July 8, 1903,
when peace was declared between
Turkey and Serbia. after a revoIu-
ton led by Kara George. The peo-
pie gained partial autonomy under
Turkish rule then, but it was the
greatest step forward the Serbians
had made.
The Serbians gradually won COM
plete independence from Turkey
and then were able to force their
rulers to grant them constitutional
government. King Alexander. on
May 21, 1894, granted the people
the constitution which is still. al
most in its entirety, the foundation
for the laws of Serbia.

Great Britain's famous "unwrit-
ten law" is founded actually on
highly respected written document,
the Magma Charta. 1t is the
Declaration of independence for
the British.
Expressions of a tyrannical rul-
er, King John of England, caused
an uprising of the English barons
who drew up this charter and
forced the king to sign it at Runny-
mede. on June Is, 1915.
Although the charter was de-
signed to protect the rights of
barons and feudal proprietors, and
did nothing to help the common
people, it was the basis for legisla-
ton and court decisions in later
years that have made England
democratic.

the total resources OF the national

greatly during the war that. Comp
troller Williams reports, If $4,000.

deposits would still be $2S600O 600
greater than they were at this time
