65 ADDITIONS TO
CENTRAL CHURCH
FROM MEETINGS

What is declared to have been the
greatest and most successful series
of evangelistic meetings he'd IN Am
circus in many years came to dose
last night at the Central Baptist
church. The meetings had been IN
pres ress nearly three weeks.
"The net result of the meetings,
said Rev. George F. Brown, the pas
tor today, were IS additions to the
church, making total of 80 addi-
tions since last March, after the ban
on public meetings was finally lifted
Fortv-five of these have been by
baptIsni and the same number OF let
ters from other churches. The sum OF
$3.50 was raised for paying the ex-
penses of the meetings.
''We feel very well pleased with
the success of the meetings. They
have worked for the good of the
community, / am sure, and l know
they have revolutionized our church.

Eastern "Mad-Stones."

In eastern countries rabies is treat
ed by the "tabasheer," or some other
form of what are indifferently called
"snake stones" or "madstOnes," and
which are believed to be a specific for
all forms of poisonous bites or wounds.
'Tabasheer" is a porous, stony accre-
tion found in the stalks of bamboo. 1t
was used in Persia so long ago as the
tenth century, 9nd is carefully de-
described by the French traveller Tav,
ernier, who visited India in the seven
teenth century.

WORTH WEIGHT
IN GOLD," SAYS
BRUNSWICK MAN
Could Find No Relief From Kidney
Pains Till He Found The New
Root and Herb Medicine Called
Dreco. Felt Like a Ton of Brick
Was Bearing Down On My Back"

81 had such awful pains in my
back that sometimes it felt like a
ton Of brick were bearing down on
me and | could find nothing that
gave relief This is how Oscar Will
liams, who is employed at the ship
yards in Brunswick, described his
sufferings. "But the new medicine,
Dreco, has made a big difference in
me-"
SIN addition to the kidney pains I
also had constipation and head
aches, pains in my limbs, was so
nervous that | never got a good
nights sleep and my appetite fell to
almost nothing. My work is pretty
hard and knew man in this condi-
tion was liable to have a breakdown
in health. | had bought several diff
ferent kinds of medicine which |
saw advertised in the papers, but
none hit my case. | have always had
faith in the old time root and herb
medicines though, so when | read
about Dreco | got bottle and my i'm
provement began almost with the first
dose, it seemed 1t relieved the CON
stipation Immediately, stopped the
headaches, my nerves became quieted
and | began to sleep the whole nights
through and wake up refreshed. The
pains in my back grew less day by
day and now | have no pains at ALL
Any medicine that will do that kind
of work should be told about to every
body, that is why ! am willing to
have you publish my case"
Dreco acts on the bowels and re-
ieves constipation thereby removing
the cause of many troubles. 1t will
be noticed after taking Dreco while
the headaches fail to appear, the
nerves are soothed, sound sleep is in
duced, the appetite increases, no more
dizzy spells, the stomach digests the
food without having gas to follow
and the kidneys perform their duty
of straining the impurities from the
blood, thereby putting stop to rheu-
matism and other disorders.
You may now secure Dreco at any
good drug store, and it is strongly
recommended by Americus Drug Co.
in Americus. adv

BILLS PLANNED
TOAD SOLDIERS
In LEGISLATURE

ATLANTA, July 10.-Georgia,
through its legislature, is apparently
anxious to aid in every way possible
the veterans of the world war. Two
measures have just been introduced
looking towards this end. One of
these measures was a resolution rec
ommending that congress be request
ed to pass speedily the bill providing
for reclamation of land for veterans
of the recent war, as advocated by
Secretary of Interior Lane. Provision
is made that copy of the resolution
be submitted to Governor Dorsey, to
each member of the Georgia delega-
ton in congress, the speaker of the
house and president of the senate.
The other measure recommending
legislation for the welfare of dis
charged soldiers was bill introduc-
ed by Representative Neill of Mus
cogee. This bill seeks to relieve men
discharged from service of the gov
ernment of the payment Of poll taxes
for a period beginning six months
prior to entering the service and end
ing six months following honorable
discharge.
County tax collectors are required
to create a list to be known as the
discharged soldiers and sailors list"
and to enter upon it the names of all
men who present sufficient proof that
they have been in the service and
hcnorably discharged.

Arkansas Valley Older Boys Confer
ence.

At the eleventh annual Colorado
Boys Conference held at Boulder this
year the Fowler and Rocky Ford dele
gates conceived the idea of having a
conference at Rocky Ford for the Old
er Boys of the Arkansas valley. The
boys that attended the Boulder con
ference obtained some very helpful
facts and wished that the other fell
lows less fortunate than themselves
might hear some of the fine speakers
Of the conference. Therefore with
the help of Mr.. Z. T. Albertson of
Denver, it has been arranged to hold
an older boys conference in Rocky
Ford on May 10th and l1th, 1919.
The plan of the conference is being
worked out by committees composed
of older boys representing all of the
Rocky Ford Sunday schools.
Three exceptionally fine speakers
have been secured for this meeting,
r. A. Waite of Chicago, who is Inter
national Secretary of the Sunday
Schools of America; c. N. Wright, Of
Ohio, young peoples secretary of Colo
RADIO, who gave several very fine ad-
dresses at Boulder; f. T. Albertson of
Denver, who is state Sunday school
secretary. These three, with several
papers by boys on topics concerning
the Sunday school work will present
splendid program of addresses and
discussions. Other features of the
program are the big banquet given on
Saturday evening, May the tenth in
the High school gymnasium and the
group contests to be held at the fair
grounds that same afternoon.
The conference is open to all boys
fifteen years of age or over. 1t is
desirable that every delegate should
represent some Sunday school club
organization of some kind, and also all
delegations of five or more should be
accompanied by an adult leader. Re-
