HOW DOES SLOW TIME PLEASE YOU?

The clocks have been moved back in Ameri-
two weeks. How does the slow time
suit you after having been accustomed to fast"
hms2 Grasped at first something greatly to
he desired, and offering an extra hour of sleep
IN the mornings the change has begun to be irk-
some not only to a number of Americus people,
but to those of other cities in this latitude; muir
murings beginning to be heard by persons who
declare they wish we were in Eastern time. and
enjoying the hour of daylight that we recently
snapped for one of darkness
Under the caption, Slow Time Doesn't Suit
Swift Town." the Albany Herald voices a feel
ing against the change that has developed in that
Eryyyn-which COMEDIES precisely with the views
and opinions of great many people in this To-
raEty. Says the Herald in part
ut is dark before half-past FIVE o'clock in
the evening. Folks go home to supper, and after
supper they sit around and kill time There's plen-
ty Of it to kill. If they are going to church, it
seems that the church hour which is half-past
seven, will never come. IF it is the theater. the
wait is an hour longer for the curtain does not rise
I'LL eight-thirty.
Having become accustomed during two
summers to time hour faster, great many per-
sons now declare that the slow time is an abomina-
Rivn.
1T may be said, truly enough that half-past
gsght does not come any later now than it did be
fore the daylight saving law made acquainted
s1th time an hour faster But the difference is that
now we have tried the faster time and great
many people like it The average person
Is glad to swap hour of darknes;
for an hour of daylight and that is ex
arfIy what fast time does In Albany it is dark
these early November evenings before half-pas
Eve If we had Eastern instead of Central time
we would of course, have daylight till nearly half
past six.

FASHION.

THE danes have stacks of coats and gowns that
they might wear for years but women WIFI
when Fashion frowns and shake with craven
fears. The rags they buy are out OF date as
soon as they are worn; and husbands sad' who
nav the freight, can only mourn and mourn
hear my Aunt Jemima say This lid bought
last year would put me, if 'twere worn today
upon the street named Queer" But still wear
the old brown tile | bought before the war;
and no one asks with caustic smile, What do
YOU wear it for?" A man may wear the ancient
suit his father handed down. and still be called
of good repute, credit to the town. Along the
village street strut and hear no jeerng wheeze
because my coat has ancient cut my pants have
baggy knees But if my Aunt Jemima goes in
duds two seasons old, the women cry Those
fossil clothes! Consider and beholdF' The cost
of living would descend in every home, swear,
if girls had courage to offend the tyrant Fashion,
there The girls have stacks of furbelows that
cost ghasty pile; but they won't wear such
things as those, one season out of style.

OR ALEATHER MEDAL?

Dr.. Mayo says that modern surgery and med
ico-therapeutics have added fifteen years to the
human life. What, with the Senate and Bolshe-
vsm and the coal strike, and the sugar famine,
and the printers strike, and the IT'S per cent. law,
and the coming of Christmas presents time, and the
boil weevil and the cost system and other things
we are in doubt whether to give the doctor halo
or a black ball
Americus times-recorder., 1919-11-09

ing The answer to that argument in thousands
of towns and cities where Eastern time obtains
households do get started time, both winter and
summer Stores and banks open on time clerks
get to their work on time, children reach school
on time and everything else runs smoothly and
without distress to anybody 1t is all question of
habit, and it is ridiculous to contend that we can
not get accustomed to Eastern time just as thous
ands of other communities have adjusted their
daily comings and goings to it.
Congress has permanently repealed the. day
light saving law, and next summer we will live
move and have our being by the present slow
Central time. A lot of folks will miss the fast
time
The man with little vegetable garden that
helps him solve the problem of the high cost of
living will miss it, for he won't have that extra
hour of daylight in the evenings.
The girls who hammer typewrters all day
will miss it. So viii the clerks. So will the labor
ing men, for when the 6 o'clock whistle blows in
the evenings it will be full hour nearer dark than
it last summer and the summer before There
will be an hour less for daylight recreation.
The extra hour of daylight comes in mighty
handy for lot of people, and nobody has any use
whatever for the extra hour of darkness that slow
time imposes.
This discussion is entirely beside the point

the entertainment of Confederate
Veterans during the reunion which

# BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take a glass Of
Salts to flush out Kidneys
Drink plenty water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get. sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be real sick person shortly,
At first you feel dull misery in the kid
ney regior, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for few days snd your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, SO
it no longer is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then TO keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

MACON DEALERS
DOUBLE MONEY
ON MEAT SALES

MACON, August 20.-Macon re-
Iii dealers in meat are making 100
~ cont profit on every carcass sold
r the consumer, according to the
ronor+ bv C. M. Muse, of the Bureau
If investigation, to District Attorney
TorI F. Donaldson, in charge of the
;nvestigations of profteering and
boarding in the Southern Division of
Georgia.
Mr. Muse made his report after two
DAYS of investigation, having arrived
in Macon on Monday to begin his
work. He stated yesterday that the
names of the retail meat dealers
clearing this profit will be ready for
publication in few days and at that
time definite action will be taken
against them.
After gathering data all yesterday
IN thu meat condition he declared he
fplt sure he was making no mistake
when he reported that a carcass for
which the dealer pays $50 is sold
10 his customers for $123.
"Fifteen and 16 cents pound is
the average cost to the retailer of
tbp Western meat sold on the mar
kets in Macon" the investigator
said. /" while the average cost of ma
tive meat is much less, about IL IL
cents a pound. These prices do not
represent the highest prices asked
for prime Western meat, nor the
lowest prices asked for other grades,
hut IS and 16 cents is what the in
vestigation shows the prevailing
prices in Macon are.
Calculating upon this as basis
it is safe to assume that under the
prevailing prices in Macon the deal
ers are doubling their investments on
every carcass sold," he declared. q

SUFFRAGE NOT
REJECTED, AFTER
ALL, BY GEORGIA

ATLANTA, August 20-Georgia
has not rejected the Susan B. An
tkony amendment giving equal rights
of suffrage. This surprising fact
developed yesterday after investiga-
ton by Clerk Bismarck Moore and
Secretary D. F. McClatchey.
This is what they found:
Senate Resolution No. IL, by Sen
ator Parker, passed the senate and
was duty transmitted to the house
on July "a. There is no record in
the house journal of any action what
ever having been taken by that body
on the senate measure.
House Resolution No. 20, by Mr..
Jackson Of Jones, passed the house
on July 20, reached the senate on
the same day and was referred by
President Olive to the committee on
constitutional amendments. That
committee has never made report
and, so far as is known, has never
taken any action on the house
measure.
The whole business then is left
almost as much "up in the air as
it was when the agitation was start
lection of the amendment was start
ed. 1t takes a joint resolution of
both houses properly signed and
transmitted to the chief executive
as other measures are either to rat
ify or reject an amendment to the
federal constitution.
Before Georgia can be said to have
officially rejected the Susan b. An
thony amendment, it must be taken
up next year as unfinished business
and concurrent action by the two
bodies on the negative resolution
obtained. This will open up the
whole matter for further debate next
summer, provided that, in the
meanwhile, sufficient number of the
states (thirty-six) to make the
amendment effective have not already
ratified through their legislatures.

STATE MARKET BUREAU
TO HELP IN PRICE WAR.

I ATLANTA, August 20.--The
State of Georgia, through the State
Bureau of Markets, is going 20 take
a big hand in reducing the high cost
of living.
Orders from individuals for butter
and eggs will be received by the bu-
reau and the purchase made by the
bureau from some farmer. Delivery
of the produce will be made C. o. D.
parcel post on some day between
Tuesday and Friday of each week.
In this way the consumer will be
enabled to get his produce at the
price prevailing in the country.
1t is the purpose of the bureau to
eventually take in, under this sys-
tenn, the exchange of all those ar
ticles of food which are made on the
farm of the state that may be trans
ported by parcel post-butter, eggs,
honey, home-cured meat, eventually
dressed poultry.
The state bureau operates entire
ly without charge in the matter of
bringing the producer and consumer
of these articles together and estab-
fishing between them regular trade
communication land in this particular
branch of the work the bureau is
doing, the plan contemplates max
ing an almost unlimited use of the
parcel post system.
