STEALING AN HOUR.
SAM L. KING.

For the first time since the founda-
ton of the government the clock and
the sun are not in tune in the United
States. When, by authority Of law,
the clock was turned forward an hour
in compliance with the daylight saw
ing legislation, a disparity was Great
ed which will continue for seven
months, when the clock will be turned
back again and resume its normal re-
lations with the sun.
The advancement Of time one hour
is not merely freak notion; it is a
practical proposition, founded upon
sound arguments which appeal to the
most conservative heads, 1t puts the
working schedule of the world one
hour forward, and by so doing saves
an hour Of daylight for every one,
with all that that implies in the con-
servation of time, labor, fuel, power,
light, &c. Experts have made es-
Inmates showing that the saving runs
into hundreds of millions of dollars

MARK HIM WELL"

Breathes there man with soul so
dead
Who'll not give up his all-wheat bred,
To serve his own, his native land
Who never yet less fuel burned
That more might be to Belgium turn
ed,
And to our boys on foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go mark him
well.
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his
name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can
claim;
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch, conceited all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, humbly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he
sprung,
Hun-wept, Hun-honored and Hun
/ sung.

GEORGIA STATE LETTER
GERMAN PRISONERS TO BUILD
ROADS.

ATLANTA, April Arrange
ments have practically been COM
pleted with Washington authorities
for the 1900 German prisoners in
termed at Fl. Mcpherson to build mil
itary roads in and around Camp Cor
don, according to IN announcement
made by Judge T. E. Patterson, mem
Der Of the state prison commission
and chairman of the state highway
commission.
Arrangements are now being made
by the Fulton OAnnty commissions to
handle the work of the Tisoners, to
feed and house them and furnish
them equipment and machinery while
they work.
1t is probable, if plans go through,
that the first road built by the prison
ers will be from Camp Gordon to At
lanta via Druid Mills, which is al
ready becoming the favored route in
spite of the narrowness and rough
surface.

Of the two lobes to your brain, the
left controls the right side of the
body. The right lobe controls the
left side. Paralysis of the left leg
means trouble with the right lobe.
Your body works as unit because
your will, intelligence, coordination
or whatever you choose to call it
rules the whole thing.
If your left lobe made your right
leg walk in one direction, and your
right lobe made your left leg walk in
another direction, your body would
be a good imitation of an army with
out controlling mind.

News and Comment
On German Drive

The main comfort to Americans
in the news from Europe during the
past week has been in the headlines
Of the newspapers rather than in the
text of the dispatches from the front.
The situation is worse than it has ever
been of course, with the crisis by no
means past as these pages go to press.
1t is the evident object of the Ger
man drive to reach the coast although
the capture of Paris would undoubt-
eddy have its sentimental effect upon
the German people with no appreci-
able military advantage ensuing from
the fall of the French capital. Judg-
ed from any point Of view, the con-
ditions require an excess of optimism
to extract much hope from the bulge
which the enemy has made in the al
lied lines, which may have sufficient
elasticity to assume somewhere near
lis former position, although the loss
ir men and material has been tremen-
dous. It is plainly the German inten-
ton to take every advantage of the
opportune season that is now ap-
preaching and to make the best pos
sible use Of a determined offensive
during the period which must elapse
before this country can get aggress-
lively into the fighting with numeri-
cal strength which will command the
respect of the foe. Conservative
military judgment is that the enemy
will do his utmost to achieve his end
during the coming summer on the
theory and with the fair prospect that
by this time next year this country
will be in much better position than
it can hope to be in the meantime to
cope with the situation and contribute
effectively to the hitting power Of the
French and English troops. If the al
lied forces can hold Germany in check
this year there is an appreciable bet
ter chance Of ending the war in 1919
according to conditions of peace that
will not be dictated by the Germans.

The Kaiser's boast of divine part
nership and that dynamite shall travel
ing seventy-fve miles to explode in a
church on Good Friday constitute
valuable addition to religious history.
The church was filled with d crowd,
chiefly of women and children, pray
ing for their fathers, husbands and
brothers on the fighting line, and all
uniting in a prayer for permanent
peace.
Permanent peace came to many
when the dynamite shell, directed, ac-
cording to the Kaiser, by the Divine
will, exploded in the church, killing
seventy-fve and wounding ninety.

The Kaiser would have felt prouder
ever after of his dynasty and of his
Divine partnership if he could have
seen the inside of that church after
the shell exploded.
Old women that had come to pray
for their sons lay bleeding. Children
that had listened to the story Of
Christ's sacrifice for peace and good
will were transported suddenly into
the Presence that they mad come to
worship.

General Foch represents France
well. The American soldier will be
glad to fight under his leadership. For
every American has the intelligence
to know that some one man must lead
and that individual or national vanity
must be laid aside when you hunt a
mad dog.
1t would not be reasonable for the
United States, new to European fight
ing, to insist on leadership for one of
its own, and French leader is the
light kind for American fighters.

ing. Would that he had five millions
of them now, armed and ready to
throw into this fight.

Conditions on Reading Are
More Encouraging Today

Reading, Pa, Jan. SO.-Conditions
on the Reading railway are very
much improved to-day and traffic
is moving with greater regularity.
Slightly more than 700 cars Of an
thracite, half of the normal output,
were moved out of the st. Clair and
Cressona yards last night and the
prospects are that this number will
be considerably increased. Reports
from the coal regions show that with
one CT two exceptions all of the COL
leries are in operation.
All of the branch lines leading to
the mines have been cleared of snow
and ice and the empty cars are now
delivered to the breakers at Tegu-
lar intervals. There is an improve
ment at Wuliamsport and the in
tcrchange OF freight aud coal is NOV
ing more promptly. Conditions gen.
orally all over the system show big
change for the better. Anthracite
and bituminous are given the pref
erence.

For Indigestion
Try Bi-nesia
It's Better Than Drugs.

Many people Just now are complain
ing of indigestion. the most commonly
met symptoms being a burning sensa-
tion in the pit of the stomach; the
belching of gas or wind; acid
saliva rising to the throat; flushed
face and heartburn. Contrary to gem
eral belief these symptoms do not al
ways indicate any constitutional fault
in or weakness of the digestive ap-
paratus. In fact, in nine cases out of,
ten it will be found that the trouble
arises solely from an excessively acid
condition of the stomach and conse-
quent fermentation of the food con-
tents. Medicines and artificial diges-
tives are not only unsuitable in such
cases but they may do positive harm
because they do not neutraliZe tho
acid which is the root of the trouble.
For this purpose the best thing to use
is simple, harmless neutrate, such
as the pure Bi-nesia now so easily OBJ
tainable of any good druggist. Read
ers who are troubled with any of the
symptoms named above should get a
supply of Bi-nesia and take a tea
spoonful in little hot water after
meals. 1t will instantly neutralize the
harmful acid and prevent food fer
mentation and may probably also
prove that the trouble which appear
ed so serious was nothing more than
an accumulation of acid in the stom-
ach after all. Try it and see.-Ad-
Vertisement.

reason to suppose that these medical
decisions will be changed by the ad-

first class have the right to appeal
for a new examination. Men of the
two lower classes are compelled to
