Red blooded men of courage are on
the firing line = and, there are many
anemic, weak, discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Snrinr Fever. They feel tired, worn
out. before the day is half thru. They
NAV have frequent headaches and
sometimes &c piInply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic people,
those with pale cheeks and lips, who
have a poor appetite and feel that
tired. worn or feverish condition in
the springtime of the year, should try
the refreshing tonic powers OF q good
Alternative and blood purifier. Such a
one is extracted from Blood root. Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queens root
and Oregon Grape root, made up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the nse Of alcohol This can be
obtained in ready-to-use tablet form in
sixtv cent walls, as druggists have sold
II for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is
standard remedy that can be obtained
in tablet or liquid form.
A good purge should be taken once
week even by persons who nave q
movement daily, in order to eliminate
matter which may remain and cause
condition of administration, poison
ing the whole system. To clean the
system at least once a week is to prac-
flee health measures. There is nothing
so good for this purpose as tiny pill:
made up of the May-apple., leaves o
aloe and jalap, and sold by Amos
ali druggists in this country as Docto
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, sugar-coated
easy TO take.

People who have subscribed for
bonds are urged to call at the banks
at once and make their first pay

for the bond they have agreed to.
They will be given an honor flag,
when they do this, which they will be

This flag will be given to all who
make the first payment. whether 1t
is the initial payment on the bond or
whether it Is payment in full.
A Liberty loan thinker has devised
what sounds like very clever
scheme for doubling capital patriot
ically. Maybe this scheme will work
at least it is an interesting one. Here
it is:
First buy $1,000 Liberty bond
then buy a life insurance policy, en-
dowment policy preferably, for 81,
600. The interest from the bond will
more than take care OF the premium
and if the dividends on your policy
are allowed to accum ulate, in twenty
years, your investment will have
doubled itself-perhaps trebled Itself
| in value.
| IT you die at any time before the
maturity of your policy. your estate
Will have $1,000 for the $1,000 invest
ed. The kind of insurance you should
take will depend somewhat upor
your age.

THE CHAPLAIN.

He was just small church parson
when the war broke out, and he
Looked and dressed and acted like all
parsons that we see.
He wore the clertc's broadcloth and
he hooked his vest behind,
But he had mans religion and he
had a strong mans mind;
And he heard the call to duty, and he
quit his church and went,
And he bravely tramped right with EN-
everywhere the boys were sent.
He put aside his broadcloth and he
put the khaki on:
Said he'd come to be soldier and was
going to live like one.
Then he refereed the prize fights that
the boys pulled of at night.
And If no one else was handy he'd
put on the gloves and fight.
He wasn't there fortnight ere he
saw the soldiers needs.
And he said: I'm done with preach
ing: this is now the time for deeds"
He learned the sound of shrapnel,
he could tell the size OF shell
From the shrek 1t made above him,
and he knew just where it fell.
In the front line trench he labored,
and he knew the feel of mud,
And he didn't run from danger and
he wasn't scared of blood.
He wrote letters for the wounded, and
he cheered them with his jokes,
And he never made visit without
passing round the smokes.
IL, he
knelt beside lad
Who was going west right speedy,
and they both seemed mighty glad
Cause he held the boys hand tighter
and he smiled and whl -pered low,
Now you needn't fear the journey
over there with you I'll co.
And they both passed out together
! arm in arm we think they went,
| He had kept his vow to follow every
| where the boys were sent.

TWO MOEQRlC,Yc'LBT 5
HURT At SAME TIME
Both Are Thrown From Machines
To Grgund

Two motorcyclists, John Fern and
Joseph Kia, were injured almost in
unanimously ana idehtically yester-
lay evening near six o clock on King
treet in the PaIama district, although
hey had no collision.
Loss Of control Of the two motor
ycles, at a bend on the street in front
" the bill boards adjacent to the cane
'ields Of Palama, is given as the main
cause for the double accident.
Eye witnesses say that when the
riders struck the bend Fern was thrown
from his seat by a wheel striking a
street car rail. As Fern fell from the
motorcycle Kia jammed on his brakes
come to a sudden stop and was him
self catapulted to the ground.
1t was believed at first that the two
riders had collided, but questioning of
he witnesses divulged that this was not
rue.
The injuries to both the motor
'yclists were very similar, although
Kia had more wounds than did Fern
,ho was the first to get fan.
Fern received an abrasion of thu
light knee and right shoulder, and Kin
rbrasions on his right knee and should
ar and both his right and left hands
They were both treated at the emer-
,ency hospital.

The o-meat or milk hens cost five

tive during the Spring production pc

"Dealers shall not between February
IL, 1918, and April 30, 1918, purchase,

es.n Effective February II, 1918.
The result of strict compliance
with above rule can easily be seen
II will not only greatly increase the
production Of eggs but will also in
crease the available supply Of chickens,
one of the greatest substitutes for
meat, by preventing the slaughter of
hundreds of thousands pounds Of un.
matured poultry.
g Every hen which is sold before

Nation Of about thirty eggs said Dir.
Andrew M. Soule, federal food admin
,istrator Of Georgia. 1.-THE total loss
Of eggs represented by the customary
selling Of hens between February /
and May ], amounts to about $50 mil.
lion eggs. The value of these eggs is
about eighty percent of what the hen
actually IL worth, so that this program
does not entail loss to the faImer but
an actual gain.
Undoubtedly this program will ere,
ate a great many protests from those
who say that for every pound of poGl,
try not consumed n corresponding
pound Of beef or other meats will be
used. The food administrator feels,
however, that this killing of hens just
before and during the heavy spring lay
Is wasteful practi just as wasteful
as the killing Of fresh milk cows for
beef, and that by enforcing this pro
gram, prices win be kept within rea
son, which could not otherwise be
done"
After February %, it will be abso
lutte violation of the law to buy or sell
any hens or pullets other than the cold
storage article, and the federal food
administration for Georgia is watching
the situation closely and will prosecute
all violators without further warning
The administration is making an ap
peal to and is particularly desiroul
that the housewife and all individual
consumers should observe this rule anc
kill no egg producers, and it is to b'
hoped that all will give this patriotic
and necessary movement their unstint
I'd approval and support.
