EATS THREE DOZEN
SOFT-BOILED EGGS
CHAMPION WANTS MORE, BUT
BUYERS WEAKEN. "COP'' Full.
FILLS HIS BOAST.

DALLAS, Tex.-Mike Organ. vet
eran member of the Dallas police
force, is some soft-boiled egg eater.
In fact Mike lays claim to the undis-
puted championship of the world.
And he has perfect right to the
claim.
During the war Mike, due to the
price of hen fruit and the salary paid
policemen, has been unable to salts
fly his appetite for eggs. But one
night this week he was led to the
feast of his life, and went away with
moderately full stomach and a
broad smile on his face.
Mike was boasting of the number
of soft boiled eggs he could eat. He
mentioned thirty as the number he
could get on the outside of at one
sitting. A half dozen messenger boys
on Mikes beat did believe it and Of
fered to pay for the eggs if Mike
would eat them. They conducted him
to nearby restaurant, or rather he
led them, and the eating began.
At first Mike ordered an even doz-
en- soft boiled eggs. The waitress
was amazed but filled the order. Mike
devoured them in hurry and repeat
ed the order. These followed the 9TH
ers in less than fifteen minutes.
Anything else? asked the waitress
as she smilingly looked Mike over
Certainly! Give me six soft boil
ed eggs" was the prompt reply.
When those were gone Mike asked
If he could have some more and be-
ing told to go the limit he asked for
another half dozen. These were lick
ed up in hurry, Mike sopping the
soft yolks with generous slices of
bread.
''I'll have another half dozen of
those eggs" said Mike, "they are the
best l ever saw"
"Well, you don't have no more on
u.s." shouted the messenger boys, as
they counted out $3.50, and Mike
went away swinging his club and
whistling.

Despite the fact that the papers
have been carrying for the past week
or two directions necessary for the
sending overseas of Christmas boxes
for the boys in France no one as yet
seems to have mastered the way in
which it is done. 1t is very simple.
The person who wants to send a
box overseas must write to the per-
son to whom she wants to send it
and ask him to get and send to her a
requisition blank from his officer, and
on this he will write his full name
and address. When this is done it
must be returned to Red Cross head
quarters and they will attend to the
mailing of it.
Only one package may be sent to
each man, enclosed in standard
carton furnished by the Red Cross.
The label issued to the man over
seas by the army authorities and
forwarded by him to some relative
or friend in this country will entitle
the holder to apply to the local Red
Cross organization for one carton.
The cartons must be packed by
the relatives or friends and delivered

Cross to be weighed, inspected,

new RECORD MADE BY
TAX COLLECTORS OF GEORGIA

All But One Has Settled IN Full With
The State. His Office Declared
Vacant BY Governor.
Georgia has broken a tax record
which runs back not in the memory
of man to the contrary. The comp
troller general has made the an
nouncement that every tax collector
has made final settlement with the
state, has poir what he owes and
cleared the sheet, with one excep-
ton. Collector J. H. Edmonds of
Baker county failed to make, his fl
nal settlement when called upon to
do so in August. A fila later was is
sued against him, and, acting under
the law, the governor has recently re-
moved him from office. In the genar-
al election today a successor will be
selected by the people of Baker
county.
Comptroller Wright says never be-
fore since he has been in Officer
for all the years prior to that time,
so far as he can find-has every tax
collector in the state settled up and
cleared the slate at this time of the
year.
In large measure this is attribut-
able to the act passed by the last as
scmbly applying a certain penalty to
all collectors who do not make their
final settlement by or before April
goth. This year leniency was prac-
ticed in the application of The law,
because it was found necessary in q
number of instances.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES P0ISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In II,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbiaf
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
II you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with a bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can. only be used occasionally because
1t accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, glass of hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in 1t, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. 1t
lis inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you a quarter
pound, which is sufficient for a DEM
onstration Of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling

DROUGHT SERIOUSLY AFFECTS

Trees Are Loaded With Nuts, But
They Are Small in Size.


Pecans offered for sale in the local

idea that they were shipped here
from some point where the best
methods of culture are unknown, but
on inquiry of Terrell county's largest
growers, who, in the past, have sold
every pound of their crops at fancy
prices, the fact is brought out that
the drought has seriously affected
this seasons crop all over this sec

nuts they are small and not so meaty
as usual. This will, of course, affect
the price at home and abroad. Mr..
