OLD AGE STARTS
WITH YOUR KIDNEYS

Science says that old age begins with
weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
This being true. it is easy to believe
that by keeping the kidneys and d.
gestive organs cleansed and in proper
working order old age can be deferred
and life prolonged far beyond that en-
joyed by the average person.

A TRIBUTE TO THE
MEMORY OF MOSES HARPER

FIFTEEN years ago a bright little
boy came to gladden. the home of Mr.,
and Mrs. NJ. H. Harper. Each child
that comes into the world is but a
message from God. 1t is the Divine
will that this message when known
and read of men" should impress upon
other lives the glory. love. and sacri-
t1ce of the Son. Viewed from this
standpoint the life of Moses, although
limited to few short years, was a
realization of the Divine plan, for it
Influenced others by it's beauty and
unselfshness.
His fond parents cared for their
precious charge with infinite patience
in infancy, diligently taught him in
youth, and were watching with high
hopes his budding manhood. Though
gifted with fine mind, he was not
endowed with health and great bodi-
" strength. Therefore, they were es-
pecially anxious about his physical
development, shielding and guarding
him from all dangers and ills.
At six years, when the doors of the
school room opened to his eager feet,
he entered in the same happy man
ner that had characterized his earlier
days. There was no complaining nor
fretting over difficult tasks, no be-
wailing lost freedom. Each days du-
ties were cheerfully met and faithful
ly accomplished His aspirations, am
billions, and desires would find new
channels and day by day he would
mount little higher vantage ground
This new life brought a broader hori-
zon, and friendships were made that
will last forever. The thought Of
having friends and being a friend
came to him like a benediction.
At the time Of his going away
Moses was a pupil in the Dawson
high school, in the tenth grade, loved
and respected by both teachers and
pupils. How they will miss him. There
is vacant desk in the school room, a
name on the register that is silent
/ forever. No more shall they clasp
| his warm and trusting hand, no more
shall they catch the radiance of his
beaming smile, but from his life so
manly and noble will they find an in
spiration that will lift to higher
planes. Disease laid its heavy hand
upon his frail body. and all that
science and skill, love and prayers
could do were offered, yet the loving
Father took him to Himself. May the
grief-stricken family take consolation
in the thought that what they are
suffering ne will never be called upon
to endure. Life at best is only a
fleeing shadow and the future holds
naught but the surety of a glorious
reunion to those who are faithful to
the end.
Goodnight, dear Moses, and fare
well till we meet in
That land upon whose strand
No wind of winter moans."

RAILROAD COMMISSION LEARNS
WHAT SALARY RAISES COST
Petition of W. T. for Permission Discontinue Station Dis
closes Advance From $35 to $133 "a Monthly.

ATLANTA-Some rather remark
able figures of salary increases for
railroad employees were brought out
in open session of the Georgia Rail-
road Commission IN hearing the APP
plication of the Wrightsville and Ten
mile Railroad to discontinue its
agency at Yonkers. The road put the
application on the basis of an unnec-
eSsary burden of excessive expense,
presented its reasoning, and the COM
mission declined to permit the station
to be closed.
The facts as set forth show that,
several years ago, an agent was en-
ployed at Yonkers, where there is To-
Gated but one store, at a salary of $40
per month, and his time but partly
occupied. After a time that salary
was increased to $50 per month and
finally reached $35 per month. Bust
ness at that time was far in excess
of what it has been for the past year.
Raised to $133.94 Per Month.
On Dec. %, last, Mr.. McAdoo's sup
Elementary order on salaries was is
sued, which automatically increased
the salary of the agent at Yonkers to
Sl33.94 per month, and that order was
retroactive to be effective as from
Dec. /.
The argument went to show that
the business at Yonkers does not even
nearly approach justifying this ex-
penditure by the railroad company,
indeed, that it did not justify main
tanning an agency at a salary of S35
per month. The commission, however,
took the position that the agency has
become public convenience and me-
cesslty for the people of that commu-
nifty, and as such, and having been so
operated, it shall not be discontinued,
Call Boys in Clover.
In the argument of the case other
facts were brought out, showing in
another instance a couple of small
railroad stations are being maintained
and operated by one man who, under
the supplementary order, has Jumped
from about $50 per month to $500,
Call boys in service at railroad ter
mlnal points, used merely to call en-

FEMININE" The STYLE

WARS PLAIN DRESS TO BE SU-
PERSEDED BY FRILLS-NEW
MODELS ARE PUSSY.

The woman who covets a place in
the forefront of fashion simply must
include one thing in her spring ward
robe. What? A suit or coat lined
with Mallison's silk. all decorated with
the little printed mascots of the
French twins, "Ninette and Rintin-
tin"
But what is this new creation
Buyers in Dawson stores who have
seen the novelty in the east state that
this new Madison fabric resembles
pussy willow silk, only it is softer
and more lustrous. Gay and dashing
with the bright figures of "Ninette
and Rintintin," this silk is everything
that could be desired in lining. Like
all style features that appeal to the
most discriminating this novelty
comes high, it being figured that the
mascot" silk will retail at $3.50 a
yard. The woman who possesses a
garment lined with this new luxury
will be pardoned if she seizes every
occasion for removing the wrap that
