ExpectaRt Mothers
View Event Calmly
Time Brings Knowledge That by Use
of ting Remedy Suffer-
ing Is Avoided.

Thousands of women have found
by the application of Mothers Friend,
the penetrating external remedy, pre-
pared especially for eXpectant moth
ers, that pain and suffering at the
crisis is avoided and that in addi-
ton the months preceding the crisis
are free from nervousness, nausea,
stretching and bearing down pains
and general discomfort.
Mothers Friend makes it possible
for the eXpectant mother to herself
actually aid nature in the glorious
work TO be performed, and no woman
should neglect to give nature a help
ing hand. 1t will mean infinitely
less pain and the hours at the crisis
will be less. The period is one of
calm repose and restful nights.
BY the use Of Mothers Friend the
skin is kept soft and natural, and
experienced mothers say that it is
much better to keep your health and
good looks during the period of eX-
pectancy than to try to regain them
afterward.

pany, Dept. G, Lamar Building, At

Fire Hydrant in N. Y.
Spouts Forth Four Perch

While preparing to give West
One Hundred and Twenty-tifth street
in New York its usual morning
bath a few days ago, an employe of
the street cleaning department re-
ceived the surprise of his life. He
felt something stay the progress Of
the wrench, with which he was open
ing a hydant and a moment later be-
held 2 fair-sized fish, which proved
to be a perch, guSh gracefully from
the hydrant to the little pond that
had formed in the gutter. Follow
ing the first perch there came three
little brothers or sisters. perhaps
they weren't relatives at all, but
just friends.
Anyway the street cleaner knew
he hadn't been out particularly late
the previous evening, and on pinch
ing himself and taking careful scru-
tiny of the neighborhood, became
certain he was not at the Aquarium.
A crowd soon gathered, watching
the finny quartet Three of them
were finally gathered up by two
boys with a peach basket as a net.
In the case of the fourth, both
youths grabbed it at the same time
and an argument over the possession
arose 1t was settled by someone
in the crowd, who put the fish in his
pocket and walked home to a fish

WANTS
ANOTHER NEGRO
GIANTLIKE GEORGE
Only Requirements Are
These; Height, 7 Feet II
Inches; Weight, 400
Pounds; Coal Black Hue

George Bell age %, height, feet
IL inches; weight, 405 pounds; size
of shoe, "a; color, coal black. Born
in Dublin, Ga. lived in Atlanta,
rose to fame in "Chu Chin Chow in
New York, killed his wife, buried
in a special coffin at his old
And now the management of
"Chu Chin Chow is asking, "are
there any more at home like
George?"
If there are, Mr.. Morris Gest,
whose address is the Century the
alter, sixty-second street and Broad
way, New York City, has job
waiting for them in the biggest mu-
steal production on Broadway.
All they've got to do is TO quail
ify.
All it takes to qualify is: Height,
Z feet II inches; We Ght, 400
pounds, etc.
If the biggest darkies in Dixie
can't quite make these requirements,
Mr.. Gest is willing to hear from
them anyway.
Just about everybody in Atlanta
remembers George. He came here d
number of years ago from Dublin
and got a job with DR.. L. N. Huff.
the optometrist. distributing cards
George was the best advertising me-
dunn he ever had.
And no wonder! In his uniform
George looked like old Philip Her
culese' big brother. Besides the d.
mansions already cited, George had
gest watermelon ever grown. His
arms were like other mems bodies.
DR.. Huff had to have Georges shoes
especially made at factory in Ala
bama. When he walked down the
street, crowds followed him.
And George liked it. The circus
offered him 500 a week, but George
turned it down. He didn't want NO
chains on him." he said
He preferred to circulate along
the main drag than to sit still in d
tent.
And then one day a scout for MI
Gest uncovered George and offered
stage in New York. The lure of the
footlights was too much. George
emigrated. Atlanta forgot him until
certain of her citizens, returned
from New York last winter, brought
a wild tale of seeing a giant Nu-
indian slave in "Chu Chin Chow"
who bore a remarkable resemblance
to George.
1t was George. He was a star.
And then old John Barleycorn, if
the newspaper accounts are to be
believed, rang down the curtain on
Georges last show. While intoxi-
Gated, said the papers, George was
shot and killed by his wife. The
body, resting in a special casket
made to fit, was sent home to Geor-
gia recently at the company's eX-
pense and George rests now in tbs
negro cemetery at Dublin.
Before he died George said some
thing that has caused the 'Chu
Chin Chow" producers to turn their
eyes again toward Atlanta.
Use got two big brothers, big
germ me-" George told Mr.. Gest
and accordingly Mr.. Gest has writ
ten to friends in Atlanta, asking
them to help him find those brothers
for his show.
1t must have been that George
was drawing the long bow, for in
quiries Wednesday revealed that the
only brother he has is five feet ten
inches high. Still, Mr.. Gest is liv-
ing in hopes that the same country
that produced George will produce
another like him who will make EN-

Another Explanation
OF Sugar Shortage

A two months sugar shortage is
threatening Triton, Ga, and it is be-
lieved that one of the things leading
up to the shortage is the use of
much large quantities of sugar in
the making of blind tiger" liquor.
The impending sugar shortage is
not confined to Triton alone. but
seems to be general in Georgia, and
ma yeVen reach into other states
Wholesalers stated that there is no
shortage in Triton now, but that they
have only ahotu thirty days supply
on hand and are unable to placs
orders for delivery before Septem-
Der.
Sheriff ]. M Shaw reports that he
has destroyed six moonshlne stills
since May 6, or a little over one
month. In these raids more than
1000 gallons of beer were poured
out. Mr.. Shaw estimates that of the
more than 1000 gallons of beer de-
stroyed, only about 600 gallons were
made of syrup, graduated sugar be-
ing used in the manufacture of the
remainder. At one still where Mr.
Shaw destroyed 700 gallons of beer
he found thirteen empty 100-pound
sugar sacks

Confine their operations to sections
remote from military posts.
If the allies eventually decided to
garrison Russia and Siberia and es

dreams of a few Americans will

people of Siberia will learn more of
progress and thrift by the example

could possibly get in any other way.

they see Americans filling the land,

conditions improve along with the
development of their country there
is bound to come an Intelligent and

Observers Measure
Giant Sun Spots

The great spot in the center of the
sun was measured last week by OBJ
servers at the Leander Mccormick
observatory at the University of Vir-
ginia.
The whole area of disturbances is
roughly a circle of $4,000 miles in
diameter, according to observers,
while the great central spot now is
about $4,000 miles long and 5000
miles broad at its widest portion.
This makes it one of the largest sim
gle spots seen in many years.
According to the astronomers spots
of this. size are rare occurrence. With
the aid of telescopes sixteen other
smaller spots are seen in the same
area with the large one, and scat
tered over the suns surface are five
other groups, with forty-two more
spots. This, astronomers assert,
means that the solar surface is in a
very disturbed condition, consider
ing that the time for normal sun
spot maximum is three years past
