QUARANTINE AT
CAMP QUICKLY
LIFTED WHEN
WASH RETURNS
Majors Motor in Big Plane Wrecked
and He Arrives by
Train.

Major c. H. Wash, commandant at
Souther Field, and Lieut.. Emory Ro-
gers, who flew to Memphis last week
in two of the new DeHaviland war

One of the first official acts of Major
Wash after reaching his office at post
headquarters was to lift the quaran-
tine on the camp, which was put in
iorce last week during his absence,
just in time to halt the officers ball
at the post given in honor of the Sum-
ter club, the city's most exclusive dane
/ ing club While no comment was forth
coming from Major Wash regarding
the order, he let it be known that he
regarded it as entirely unwarranted
by conditions, there being almost no
sickness at the post.
Major Wash made a forced landing
10 miles this side of Union Springs last
evening, when within so minutes fly
ing distance of Souther Field, because
of an accident to his motor. The con-
Meeting rod broke loose, tearing out
the motor cylinders and completely
wrecking the motor. The plane itself
was uninjured. Lieut.. Rogers, who was
flying his own plane with Major Wash,
landed with him, and the two planes
were left. Lieut. Rogers returned to
Union Springs today by plane with a
Imechanician to fly the uninjured plane
back to Americus and to dismantle
and shin in the wrecked machine.
On the trip to Memphis Major Wash
was forced to land at Tuscaloosa, Ala,
because of flooded corburetors. caus-
ed by the heavy rain through which
the entire fight was made.

ONLY CHANGE
COUNCIL PLANS
IN OFFICIALS
of Eastern Time for Ameri-
Gus to Be Up At Session
Tonight.

The new city council will hold it's
first meeting of the new year tonight
at o'clock in the council chamber at
the city hall for the principal purpose
of completing its own organization and
he election of city officers for the
ensuing year. 1t was stated about the
city hall today that the entire list of
officials under council jurisdiction
would be reelected, with the exception
of city attorney. 1t is understood that
E. A. Nisbet, the present city attorney,
is not an applicant for the place for
the coming year, and that the appoint
ment will go elsewhere One report
was that W T. Lane would be given
the post.
GA matter of high interest to the peo-
ple< of Americas to be brought to the
attention of council tonight will be the
matter of officially approving the pro-
posal for the adoption of Eastern time
as the standard time for the city The
matter will come up in the form of
resolution which will be forwarded to
he Interstate Commerce Commission,
ii it is adopted. The old council, be-
ing at the end of its life, declined to
act on the proposition in December.
The movement is being handled out
side of the council by Joseph Perkins,
secretary manager of the Chamber of
Commerce. Mr. Perkins has conduct
ed poll of citizens on the proposed
change through coupons printed in
The Times Recorder and by personal
solicitation. He stated this afternoon
that he had completed inquiry among
practically all of the business interests
of the city, representing some 200 rep
resentative men, all of whom except
four had expressed themselves COM
pletely in favor of the adoption OF
Eastern time. He kept record of
names in the informal POLL and this
will be presented to the council to-
night Because of the apparent over
whelming opinion of the people Of the
city in favor of the change, it is con-
sidered certain that the proposition
will be adopted. If such action is TAX
en-, the way will be clear for the In
terstate Commerce Commission to pass
the official order making the official
time in Americus Eastern time, in
stead of Central, as was done in the
case of Albany and other progressive
cities.
The council is meeting tonight under
a new rule established in caucus last
Tuesday night, which changed the
meetings from the second and fourth
Tuesdays of the month to the first and
bird Tuesdays.

CATARRH is
NOT INCURAbLE:

membranes of the nose and air
passages, which choke up and
make breathing very difficult.
To get rid of these distressing
effects you must remove their
cause.
The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs, which direct
their attack against the tender
and delicate membranes of the
nose and throat. These germs
cannot be reached by sprays or
douches. which. Of course. have
no effect whatever upon the
blood.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
remedy. made from roots and
herbs direct from the forests
which combat promptly any
disease germs or impurities in
the blood. This great remedy
has been used for more than
fifty years, with most satisfac-
tory results. 1t has been sue
cessfully used by those afflicted
with even the severest cases
of Catarrh, because it drive,
out from the blood the Catarrh
germs, and eliminates every
foreign substance from the
/ blood. S. S. S. is sold by drug
gists everywhere.

GUT YOU CAN'T RELY ON
SPRAYS AND
INHALERS.

There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per
haps. like thousands of others
afflicted with Catarrh. you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable. and that
you are doomed to spend the
remainder of your days hawk
ing and splitting. with no relief
in sight from inhamed and
stopped-up air passages that
make the days miserable and
the nights sleePless.
OF course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old
time. make-shift methods Of
treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial re
suits. If you are still content
to depend upon the use OF
sprays. douches. inhalers, jel-
lies and other like remedies by
themselves. that are applied to
the surface and cannot reach
below it. then make Up your
mind now that your Catarrh
will remain a life companion
and will follow you to the
grave.
You must realize that the
disease itself. and not its symp-
toms. is what you have to cure.
OF course you know that when
you are cured of any disease
its symptoms viii disappear.
