RECORD OF THE PAST

Look well to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone by is the best guarantee of fu-
ture results. Anyone with a bad back:
any reader suffering from bladder
troubles, from kidney ills, should find
comforting words in the following
statement.
Mrs. Nellie Smith, Gil w. -Oconee
avenue, Fitzgerald, says: For years
| suffered from kidney complaints and
was weak and worn out. My back be-
came lame and l had dull, nagginp
backaches. l was bothered by dizzy
spells and dark spots foated before
my eyes. I bought Doan's Kidney
Pills at Haile's & Co.'S Drug Store.
They strengthened my kidneys and
relieved the lameness and backache."
OVER SIX YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Smith said; Il have had but little
trouble with my kidneys since en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills before"

PLEA FOR LASTING PEACE
MADE BY POPE BENEDICT

Rome, March ga plea for lasting
peace is made by Pope Benedict in
his Easter message to the United
States, which he sends through the
Associated Press. The message saws:
The first message of the risen
Savior to His disciples after suffer
ing the torture of Passion week was
Peace be unto you Never has the
world for which He sacrificed himself
needed so poignantly that message
OF peace as today.
On this solemn occasion no better
wish can be made to the country so
dear to our hearts than that the di-
vine Redeemer may grant a realiza-
ton of the desire of all, that is, heal
ing of the existing hatred and the
concluding of lasting peace based
on the foundations of justice, fear of
God and love of humanity, giving to
the world new organization of peo-
pies and nations united under the
aegis of true religions in aspiring to
a nobler, purer and kinder civiliza-
ton.
1T is thus we desire to fulfill our
Masters last injunction to His apos-
ties: Go we into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature"

OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING
FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS

Atlanta, Ga, March 2. DISABLED
Georgia boys returning from the Dat
tie front in France Will be taught how
to earn a living in occupations suited
to their physical condition after re-
covery from their wounds, under the
terms of bill which is now being
pressed in the senate byA Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, providing
for occupational trainina for all
wounded men who are pc rmanently
incapicated for military ser vice.
Germany is 'believed toShave held
herself up to such a Ngh stage of
economic power by utilizing the serv-
ices Of IS per cent or more of the
wounded men sent home from the
battle fronts. Quickly and efficiently
trained in productive occupations
which they can follow in spite Of the
loss of an arm or leg or some other
disability, these men are utilized by
the German government to the max
lmum extent of their productive pow
er,sthereby sustaining the nation.
Senator Smiths bill would provide
for such training as would render dis
abled men not only valuable to the
nation but able to support themselves.

MAMMOTH SCHOOL PARADE

Atlanta, Ga, March 23-The great

parades of any character, is now be-
ing arranged by the authorities of the

day, April 5, as a mammoth demon
stration in the interest of thrift

On that day twenty-five thousand

ing like real soldiers in the interest
OF thrift stamps ever since the cam
paign started will march through the
principal streets of the city, organic
ed in eight, big divisions headed by
Generals" and "Colonels" and other

war movements, and there will be a
number of spectacular floats in the

FUNDS ALLOTTED
FOR ROAD WORK

Atlanta, Ga, March Establishment
OF Federal road funds, tetaling prac-
tically half million dollars for 1919
road improvements, has been made
by the State Highway Commission,
and was announced Saturday after
noon by Judge T. f. Patterson.
The allotment does not include
| any fund for the Camp Gordon-Deca-
tur road in DeKalb county or the
road in Cobb county to the artillery
range. Judge Patterson said the
commission considered it best to lay
these projects temporarily aside pend
ing further conference with the war
department officials. The commission
goes on record, however, as being ex-
tremely anxious to have these roads
constructed at once and ready to CO.
operate.
The roads in Gwinnett and Hall
counties were of such importance
that it was thought best to wait and
see If larger fund might not be pro-
vlded tor these projects should any
OF the allotments made not be used.
FOR this reason no allotment was
made for these counties.
In some other cases, such as Butts.
Gordon, Whitfield, Pulaski, Screven,
Barlow and Laurens, allotments were
postponed for similar reasons. Judge
Patterson announces it is practically
certain all Georgia projects will be
aided either this year or next, as the
appropriation from the government
is increased more than $4,000 each
year. =. =. -
The allotments announced Saturday
are:
Bleckley, $4,000; Bulloch, $4,000:
Gambler, $780,; Carroll, $4,000; Col

TAX SLACKERS WILL BE
VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTED

Atlanta, Ga, March 2 Tax
slackers will be prosecuted vigo-
rously under the selective service act.
The aid of all good citizens is invok-
ed in bringing to justice the man who
deliberately seeks to evade his just
share of the war burden"
This was the statement today of
Internal Revenue Commissioner Dan
iel c. Roper With only ten days
left in which to file income tax re-
turns, he has practically completed
the organization of huge dragnet
for bringing into camp all persons
who fail to file their returns by April
/. Revenue officers in every section
of the country are checking UP re-
turns with view to beginning prose
cutions against tax dodgers. The
word has gone forth that such offend
ers need expect no leniency.
Through its educational campaign
the Bureau of Internal Revenue has
endeavored to cover the field so thor
oughly that ignorance of the law can
not be consistently offered as an ex-
cuse, said Commissioner Roper to-
day. The press, the four minute
men, the state and county councils of
National defense, the field force of
the Department of Agriculture and
other government departments, banks
postoffices and hundreds of voluntec,
agencies have co-operated in bringing
home to the tax payer his duty.
The man who failed to register
under the selective service act was
regarded by the War Department as a
Stacker and prosecuted as such. The
man who fails to file his income tax
will be regarded as money slack
err, and when discovered, as he will
be, will be made to suffer full penal
ties of the law.
10 the credit of the Nation it NAV
be said that have gratifying and
conclusive evidence that these income
taxes will be paid by the great ma
Jority of the American people cheer
fully and willingly. But the duty of
the honest man does not end with
the payment of his own tax. I call
upon him to aid in bringing into camp
the tax dodger. A man so niggardlv
as to seek to evade what his repres-
entative in Congress declared to be
his just share of tax imposed for
the support of our arms is deserving
OF no consideration and will receive
none.
Congress has distributed this
tax justly and equitably. The rate
is liked so that the rich man and the
men OF moderate means are assessed
each according to his income. No
man can offer the excuse that his
neighbor escapes what he is made to
pay. Therefore, it is incumbent un-
on all good citizens to aid in carry
ing out the intent and spirit of the
law, which is that the burden of the
war tax be evenly distributed and
every man compelled to pay his lust
quota"

SOLDIER DISCHARGED
AND JAILED; REFUSED
A MINOR OPERATION

Macon, Ga, March 21-Dishonor-
able discharge from the army. con-
tnement in military prison at hard
labor TOR two years and forfeiture of
all pay and allowances due him is the
price that Private Johr LYONS, of
Auxiliary Remount Depot No. 3O4,
Quartermasters Corps, Camp Meade,
will pay for his refusal to submit to
a minor operation which would fit
him for military service. The sentence
has been passed by a court martial
and he will begin doing time" al
once.
A board Of medical officers consid-
cred the physical defects of Lyons
and 1t was decided that a slight op-
Grafton was necessary in order that he
might remain in the army The mat
ter was submitted to Lyons, but he
refused to go under the care of the
surgeons. He was given every op-
portunlty to change his mind, but
steadfastly resisted the operation with
the result that he was kicked out"
of the army.
Men Like Lyons Rare
Men like Lyons, however, have
been rare at Meade. There have, it is
true, 0een few cases where men who
had defects that could be remedied
by minor operations refused to sub
nit, knowing that unless the opera
tlon~was performed they would be
incapacitated for further military
duty. But the morale of the camp has
been so splendid that these few have
been vastly outnumbered by those
who, when they found out that they
could remain in the service if they
submitted to an operation, gladly
volunteered to go under the knife.
