and the chairman of the relief
committee have wired that con-
dtt1ons are most serious, ar.l
that damage to merchandise
and household effects amounting
to $1,500,000 has been sustained.
This is regarded as a conserva-
tive estimate. The seriousness
of the situation is also vouched
for by the Red Cross officials.
who have for the last five or six
/ days been attending to the inn
mediate wants of the unfortu-
nate people of the community.
have communicated with the
mayors of the larger towns of
the state, requesting that this
matter be called to the attention
|, of their citizens and that contri-
buttons be solicited. 1t is sug-
( gesteG that those living outside
our large municipalities also join

Lanier, chairman of the relief
committee, or Mr.. Charles ].

The appeal of West Point Ga.
for money to rehabilitate it from the
flood that submerged the city last
week has met with instantaneous re-
Spouse from all parts of Georgia.
In Atlanta a fund is being raised
that began with a rousing mass
meeting Sunday afternoon and has
already passed SIS, 900. Atlanta has
pledged itself to raise $4,000 at
least, but it is believed that this
goal will be materially over-sub-
scribed as soon as committees ap-
pointed by the mayor get in their
reports. The city itself will be ask
ed to give $4,000, when Councilman
J. r. Nutting introduces a motion
to that effect at the meeting of city
council Monday afternoon.
LAGRANGE Ga, West Points neigh
Dor city, has raised the sum of $50
600. West Point itself has pledged
$4,000 to. it's own cause. Frank
Lanier, prominent citizen of Amer
icus, Ga, sent an individual contri-
button of $4,000 Sunday. The town
of Jonesboro has sent $1,000 from

Poison Gas Won The War

If the Hun could have begun his war in 1914 with the machin- cry he had in 1918, no power on earth could have held him back from his monstrous purpose, says the Albuquerque Journal. It is now intimated in well-informed circles that Germany collapsed because she knew what the United States had in store for her.
 When the armistice was signed Germany was manufacturing 50 tons of poisonous gas. But the United States was manufacturing two hundred tons. This country was ready to let loose on Germany giant bombs filled with the most deadly gas the world has ever known. There were bombs by the thousands, each containing a ton of gas that would spread with such density when discharged that neither man nor beast could live within its area.
 It is said that a squadron of planes was ready to fly on this errand, The Metz forts were first to be attacked and reduced by this process. It is believed that any German city could have been wiped out in a day. Knowl- edge of this fact is believed to have led to the surrender of Ger many.
 If there is to be another war the tactics would begin where those of 1918 ended. The aerial bomb probably would be the first weapon used. A nation without scruples might calculate that the quickest way to reduce its oppon- ent would be to gas it's principal cities between sunrise and sunset, without warning. After a day or two of destruction from the sky the invaders forces could march in and occupy what was left with almost no resistance.
 Prominent Germans have re- gently told American correspond ents that Germany would now turn in and manufacture planes for commercial purposes. The airplane lends itself to the preda- tory instinct of the Hun. With a flock of commercial planes, all

readily convertible into bombing and fighting machines, and with millions of tons of poison gases secretly stored in underground factories, Germany would catch the world in an ambuscade and "gloriously" wipe out the dis grace of this defeat, and within a few days put the whole world in the grip of the Hun.

People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eargerIy sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve, but not permanently. Doan's Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is proof of merit from this vicinity.
 L. s. Burns, blacksmith, Me Cormack St., Prescott, Ariz., says: T was bad off with kidney trouble several years ago. My back was so lame and stiff, 1 could hardly get around. Many times sharp pains would catch me in my back and nearly take me off my feet. The kidney Secre- tions were highly colored and passed irregularly. Doan's Kid ney Pills helped me right from the start and in almost no time had permanently cured me.

LOW-CUT DRESS AND HEALTH
Chest and Back Exposure Does Not !
Cause Colds and Pneumonia,
Expert Declares.

If any objection can be urged
against the low-cut dress it is not on
the score of injury to health, in the
opinion of medical authority, but on
the contrary, no better design could
be chosen for the dress of the upper
part of the body than one which gives
free play to the muscles of the neck
and shoulders and permits free circu-
lation of the blood to and from the
head, says the Louisville Courier
Journal.
"Women do not catch colds or get
pneumonia from exposing the chest
and back, even in chilly weather."
continues this same authority. "This
fallacy has been exploded long ago.
Looseness Of the garments every
where is what doctors have always
been calling for, and If women who
find benefit from this fashion in the
region Of the shoulders will use their
reasoning powers and loosen the COW
erings of the waist, the feet and the
hands they will not only feel in better
health and lighter spirits, but they
will find a marked increase of their
general beauty.
"From tight neck and shoulder wear
many evils follow. What good results
may be expected from the low-backed
dress? Firstly, it will stimulate wom-
en- to develop their arms and Shout
ders and, by allowing freer carriage
Of the head, will give them more grace
and dignity.
"But one Of the most gratifying re-
suits will be the effect on the face.
There is no doubt whatever that many
Of the skin troubles endured by wom-
en- have been caused by tight and
warm clothing round the neck. When
the blood is permitted to circulate
freely the complexion will improve,
wrinkles and pimples will disappear
and other conditions being favora-
BILE, the face will become plumper,
clearer and of better color.
"The looseness about the neck
should also have a beneficial influence
on the hair. Probably much of the
badness of at least the earlier years
of middle age is due to want of a suf-
ficient supply Of blood to the scalp.
obviously the unpleasant effects of
heat will be reduced, for the GOODNESS
Of the bare upper part will cool the
whole blood stream and body. The
good influence on the nervous system
is perhaps the most important factor.
The GOODNESS and ease and the free
circulation of pure blood to the brain
are bound to reduce the number and
severity of headaches, prevent irrita-
bility and make a woman in every
way more cheerful and better tenn
pered."

Panama Canal, Opened for
Navigation in 1914, Dates
Back Into the Seventies

The Panama canal dates back to the
seventies. Ferdinand de Lesseps
flushed with the success of the Sue;
canal, organized French company In
1879, and in 1881 bought the origina
cession. After this company had sunA
$260,000,000 in the venture and giveI
up, new company was formed IL
1894. Twelve miles of navigable CANA
were built by the French, when lack
of funds and scandals concerning the
management and expenditures made
further progress impossible.
After the Spanish war the
French offered to sell to the United
States for $40,000,00O, and the pur
chase was made in January, 1902.
The canal includes a deep artificial
canyon nine miles long; a dozen huge
docks, each containing more solid
concrete than there is in the great
pyramids of Cheops, forty-seven pairs
of steel gates, each as broad and as
tall as a six-story building; the con.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

Some flocks are never thrifty. Dis
ease seems to appear without appar-
ent cause, and the slightest exposure
leads to roup or something allied to
it. Whole flocks may escape roup when
all the birds belonging to a near neigh
Dor are affected. Consumption, scrof-
ula, bronchitis, asthma and such dis
eases are surely transmitted to the off
spring as in the cases of other ami
mails. There is not enough attention
given the selection Of fowls with the
view of preventing disease and avoid
ing the liability of hereditary trans
mission.
When roup appears in flock, it de-
notes some organic weakness, and If it
spreads rapidly to all the members of
the flock, the indication is that the
members are of the same family, and
more readily susceptible to disease
than some other flocks. It is safer to
avoid using any birds for breeding pur-
poses that have at any time been sick
with contagious disease and by so
doing the flock will in a few years be
hardy and the difficulties lessened.
