MOSQUITOES ARE VERY
DANGEROUS.
They Give You Malaria, But Williams
No. 101 Tonic Takes 1t Away.

Billions of mosquitoes will come
this spring from the low, marshy
places which were watered by the tor
rental rains in March. Fifty years
ago these pesky "varmints" were
looked upon as a nuisance only. But
in recent years scientists have found
that they transmit malaria-and that
it is transmitted in no other way.
Williams No. 101 Tonic is a recog-
nized specific for treating malaria
and is being used extensively and sue
cessfully in the malarial sections. 1t
contains Quinine, which is deadly to
the malarial germ; also Iron, which
strengthens and invigorates the body
and Magnesia, which keeps the bow
els regular and healthy. 1t is a good
general tonic and bottle Of it should
be in every home in a malarial dis
trict. Get a bottle from your drug
gist. Refuse to accept any substitute.
There is no other medicine like it.

CITY WATER DISCOLORED BY
STREET FLUSHER'S SPEED.

Complaints which have been heard
during the last several days because
of the city water having a muddy APP
pearance were explained today by City
Engineer Ansey. This is caused by
the street flushers opening and shut
ting too quickly the fire hydrahts in
filling their tanks" said he. "This ag-
itates the water in the pipes and
causes a disturbance of the sediment
that collects naturally, causing the
slight discoloration in the water"

NOTED STARS TO.
COME TO MACON
MUSIC FESTIVAL.

In preparing the program of the
Annual Music Festival at Macon, Ga,
May 5-17, the Board of Trustees of
the Chautauqua of the South has tax
ed the musical resources of the coun-
try in getting together a list of ar
lists which an Eastern critic called
amazing"
A glance over the program shows
first of all world famous group:
Alma Gluck, Schumann-H eink, Efren
zimbalist, Mischa Elman, Josef Hof-
mann.
One is furthermore surprised at
the large number of the leading role
singers of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, including Frances Aida, So
phie Braslau, and Andres Segurola,
Lenora Sparkes, Raymond Delaunois,
Rafaelo Diaz and Thomas Chalmers
all making up the main body of the
singers that have made the Metropoli-
tan Opera the greatest in the world.
Then from the Chicago Opera com
pany the program gets three of its
most brilliant stars: Carolina Laz-
zari, Anna FitZiu, and Fernando Car
pi, all rounded out by Merle Alcock,
the famous contralto soloist of the
Boston and New York Symphony Or
schestras.
Another outstanding feature is the
New York Chamber Music Society, OF
piano, wind and string instruments
all solo artists of the first rank, which
takes part in the programs through
out the entire season. This organiza-
ton is the only one of its kind in the
world, its concerts in New York, being
always events of the musical season
When an eastern critic looked over
the program he pronounced The FEES
t1val one of the greatest musical
events of America That such a pro
gram is offered here in the center OF
our state is an evidence of the remark
able progress being made in the pub
lie taste. Such programs cannot be
organized every year. Hence the com
ing Music Festival is to many of us
simply an opportunity of lifetime.

Germany's Action VIII Cause General
Discussions as to Treaties.
Paris, Jan. 4.-The famous treaty
which Germany designated as D.
scrap Of paper" will come up for an
early consideration before the peace
congress. This Is the treaty made in
1880 when the great powers of Eu-
rope recognized Belgium as being
separate from Holland and guaran-
teed Belgian neutrality.
1t was the disregard OF this neu-
trality and the invasion of Belgium
by the German troops which brought
Great Britain into the war.
The Belgium Parliament recently
adopted unanimously resolution
asking for the establishment of the
independent sovereignty OF Belgium
and the abandonment of the guaran-
tee of neutrality. The resolution was
in response to tho speech from the
throne made by King Albert when he
re-entered Brussels.
Incidentally Germany's designation
of the treaty as a "scrap Of paper" In

fishing some means of guaranteeing
the lnviolability Of treaties.
