BURIED SILVER, BUT INTENSE
HEAT MELTED 1T

Atlanta, Ga, May pa young
Albanian who recently married was
presented with a chest of silver by his
once associates as wedding present.
When he saw that his house was
doomed in the great fire Monday, the
young man conceived the brilliant
idea OF burying the silver in the ward.
Hastily digging hole, he packed
away the knives and forks and spoons,
ct cetera, locked up the chest and
put it in the ground.
Next morning as soon as the SOL
diers on picket duty would let him
through the lines the young man and
his bride went back to the naked
ground that was once. their home,
found the spot where their wedding
silver was buried and dug it up.
Every piece had melted and run to-
gether, making one big lump, from
the terrific heat. 81 p
Don't worry" consoled his friends
at the office. " If we gave YOU the
real thing, you can sell the lump for
the worth of its weight, and if we
gave you triple-plate you'll have the
satisfaction of knowing we are pi-
kers."

Some Facts
Concerning Hog Cholera
DR.. w. M. Burson, Professor of Veter-
mary Med, State Col. of Agriculture.

Hog cholera is an infectious disease
1t is caused by germs. These germs
are present in the blood and all parts
of the sick hog. The germs will live
in infected soil for long time
Hog cholera may be spread by any
thing that comes into contact with the
sick hog, the dead carcass or premi-
ses occupied by or contaminated by
sick hogs or their eXcrement.
Hogs suffering from mild cases of
hog cholera spread the germs far and
wide until death or complete recovery
takes place
Wallow holes harbor infection for a
long time. Disinfect them.
Hogs may become infected with
cholera by being fed on hotel and
restaurant garbage containing pork
scraps. If you must feed this mate
rial protect your hogs with serum.
Hogs fed on offal from slaughtering
develop cholera and many other dis
eases. This should be prohibited by
law.
No breed of hogs are naturally i'm
mune to cholera All are susceptible.
Hog cholera, serum will prevent hog
cholera. 1t will cure some cases in
the early. stages of the disease. Early
treatment of sick herds gives best re-
suits.
The length of time treated hogs are
immune after treatment depends on
many factors, such as age, environ
ment, and method of treatment.
Serum alone is simple to admins
ter, not apt to do harm and generally
produces only temporary immunity.
Serum simultaneous (serum and vi
rus) if carelessly or injudiciously adj
ministered, may do great damage.
When properly used confers perma-
nent immunity.
On infected premises disinfectants
should be literally used. Coal tar disin-
fectant is cheap and effective. 1t
should be used in per cent strength
and applied to. hog houses by means
of a spray pump.
Whitewash containing per cent
coal tar disinfectant serves a double
purpose. 1t deodorizes and disin
fects.
Good drainage is essential in all
sanitary work
Rotation of hog lots and pastures
does much to keep the hogs healthy.

Ever Salivated bv
CalOmeI? Horrible!
Caiomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver

Calomel loses you a day! You know
what chlomel is It's mercury; quick
Silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Ca1omel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your drug
glst sells for so cents large bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely
vegetable and pleasant to take and is
perfect substitute for calonel. 1t is
guaranteed to start the liver without
stirring you up inside, and can not
salivate
Don't take ca1oniel 1t makes YOU
sick the next day; it loses you days

GIVE it to the children because it is

What Georgia Can
And Should Do
Andrew M. SouIe, President Georgia
State College OF Agriculture.

Georgia produced last year aboW
$160,G00, 100000 worth of food products
including the sale and slaughter OF
animals raised on her farms. This
sum can be increased by 100000, 900
during the present year. To do this
corn should be planted on the usual
basis, and in addition on the areas
on which winter oats were destroyed
by the February freeze If this were
done we should be able to raise ap-
proXimately 100,000,000 bushels of
corn. We can certainly double the
area in sweet and Irish potatoes The
hay crops OF Georgia can easily lie
quadrupled since cowpeas, soy beans,
velvet bears, corn, sorghum, kafdr
corn, Sudan grass, millet and various
other crops may be used for this pur-
pose. The planting of these hay crops
may be done any time in the next six
ty days. Establishing hay crop
is chiefly matter of preparing the
land and setting aside sufficient
area to grow the necessary tonnage.
If we do not provide the forage need.
ed for our live stock they will lose
their efficiency, as the chances are we
will not be able to obtain food of this
character from the west next fall on
account of railroad congestion.
Every farmer should make his plans
now to grow at least wheat for ten
bushels. If this were done Georgia
would supply herself with all the
wheat needed in 1918. Wheat may be
planted with advantage in cotton lana
after hay crops have been gathered.
Our deficiency in wheat may be over
come somewhat by planting upland
rice, and all the truck which can pos
sibly be needed by our towns and ci,-
les can be easily produced if the far
mer, the vacant city lot owner and the
gardener systematic their efforts.
Sorghum should be grown On every
farm for syrup. In an emergency SUI
gar can be made from it. While we
can not Immediately increase the num-
Der of COWS and beef cattle, no breed
ing animal should be slaughtered and
all calves should be fed out as rapid
ly as possible. There is no reason in
the world why we should not double
the number of hogs maintained on
the farms in the northern part of the
state. If steps in the right direction
are taken promptly, we can supply
ourselves with all the meat needed
for local consumption. The Importance
of increasing the corn crop can not
be stressed too strongly as it sup
plies the chief grain ration for our
work stock and in an emergency may
be made to take the place of wheat
in the human dietary. There is no
reason why we should not double the
output Of our poultry yards.
Vigorous action along the lines in
Dictated will alone save us from the
disastrous situation which now con-
fronts u.s.

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE
The Blue Paradise.

The Blue Paradise. a musical comedy in two acts, with a number of pretty songs that were well received, was presented at the Davis theatre Friday evening before a capacity house. The scenic effects were elaborate1y carried out and there were a number of very attractive gowns in evidence. The musical numbers were well presented by the special orchestra, though there were few soIoists much above average ability in the cast, with the exception of Madeline Nash, who played the star role with great effectiveness and dis played voice of pleasing quality. The classic dance. Waltz of the Sea. was most creditably presented by Iaffey and Love and they were heartily en- cored. Clean cut comedy featured the production and brought forth many a hearty laugh. Auf Wefder schen by Rudolph and Mizzi, proved one of the popular song numbers of the program. As the finale The Star SpangIed Ban ner was spiritedly sung by the entire company and made a most h~.ing close.
