UNCONvINCED GERMANS

There is just one sort of German
who now knows what has happened
He is the one who has looked right
into the yawning depths Of loaded
gun barrel and even forgets, 1t would
seem, and the rest must be taught in
long slow process that they we're
wrong. And they were beaten be-
cause they were wrong and they now
have to pay the penalty by heavy pun
ishinent and bonds, even if to the lin
it of what they possess, to keep the
peace henceforth forever. They seem
to be utterly unconvinced/ at present.
The abdication of their Kaiser has not
as yet impressed them half as much
as has the relaxation of the war
strain. They do not yet realize the
meaning of their naval surrender.
The trained heads of their armies and
of their government now realize
something of the military and civic
disaster which has come to them,
but the rank and file are still to be
convinced that the German is not SUI
perman, unbeatable and so far UNI
beaten. But now that the Allies have
come and are occupying the banks of
the Rhine and some of their proud
cities, they are getting clearer Wis
ion of what has happened. The de-
spised American Yankees are now
called so calmly and the newspapers
calling them good fellows, they did
not suppose for moment that they
meant it in the least. They are now
quite satisfied to let the armies Of oc,
cupation come and go their way with
as little friction as possible, and SO
bide their time. But the German ar
rogance still believes itself superior
to all and everything and, although
they have had good body blow. they
are in hopes of coming back again in,
to their own; that it was for them
simply a bit of hard luck and nothing
wrong about their policy. The people
now running things believe that they
will create a new government yet
stronger than the old one. They will
build anew their pride and prestige.
Perhaps they think they will again
have a stronger army and navy than
ever. Then it will, be Deutschland
uber Allies, as of old. We Americans
believe that this cannot possibly be.
The unlearned lesson Germans must
learn. It is the worlds greatest task
still ahead-to teach 1t, but it will
be finally taught and in no mistaken
terms. And when they las they will
see the old Stars and Stripes playing
in the breeze in Berlin, then they will
see things somewhat different.
Sincerely, w. 8, B.

ALL OBJECTIONS
Chemists Rid Doctors Favorite Med
icine of Nauseating and Salivating
Oualities-New Variety is Called
"CaIotabs".

A triumph of modern pharmacy
that is blessing to the whole world
that is the opinion of physicians
and druggists who are familiar with
the new, nausealess calomel that is
wholly free from the Objectionable
effects of the old style calomel.
An occasional purifying of the sys-
tenn and thorough cleansing of the
liver are absolutely essential to health,
and, as all doctors know, calomel was
the only drug that accomplished this
result. Now that the unpleasantness
and danger of salvation has been en-
tirely removed, the popularity of the
new calomel, Calotabs, will be vastly
increased. It's effect is delightful.
One tablet at bedtime, with swallow
of water-that's all. No salts, no nau-
sea, no gripping, nor the slightest un-
pleasantness. You wake up next
morning feeling fine, your liver
cleansed, your system purified and
with a hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you please-no danger of
salvation. No restrictions of habit
or diet.
For your protection Calotabs are
sold only in original, sealed packages,
price thirty-fve cents. Your drug
gist recommends and guarantees them

A REVELATION
And AN AWAKENING

To the people of the earth the war
mas brought suffering, anxiety, prlva"
lion, desolation, and destruction. But
as in the case of all wars some ulti-
mate good must come. To America 1t
mas brought a revelation and an
awakening. 1t has laid before our
eyes, and especially before us Geor-
gians, a startling fact-one that we
must face in the eyes of our sister
states and the nations of the world.
The army reports based on the first
million men drafted into military SER
vice, show that out of every 100 whites
there were II infected with one or
more of the Venereal diseases. The
negroes show an even higher infec-
ton, 16 out of every 100. Georgia
ranks fourth to the bottom among the
states of the union in the existence
| of these diseases.
Now whence did these men come?
Out of Georgia homes they came,
being called according to their selec-
ton numbers. Now bear in mind the
examination of these men were made
at the time of their entrance into the
army service What do such facts
prove other than that these diseases
were prevalent among those, and some
times unknowingly, who form an in
tegral part of our society, and their
widespread existence was brought to
light to the people as whole by the
| thorough medical examination Of the
army
| In the face of such what shall be
our course? Since we have been start
just accept such facts as statistics or
i shall we arise with the similar awaken
| ing of the other states of our country
and do what we can to combat these
enemies which are preying upon the
health of our citizens?
The Federal government has lead
the way in this direction by its mil
lion dollar appropriation for such
work Last May the U. S. Public
Health Service furnished to the State
Board of Health the full time services
of technician to do the Wassermann
work for the diagnosis of syphilis, free
of charge to any physician in the state.
On Feb. 1st of this year this work
was taken over by the State Board
Of Health.
They are equipped and ready to be
of service to the sufferers of this dis
ease, through their family physician or
rpecialist. For such ones we feel that
it is not only their duty to themselves
but also to their family community,
and state to go to reputable physician
end lay the situation before him. He
in turn will give you sane advice as
! to the prevention of further spread
of the disease which is often con-
tracted by those who are altogether
innocent.
Likewise he will treat you and ad-
wise you if suffering from gonorrhea
The State Board of Health also makes
examinations of smears for the pres
ence of this disease. The duty of the
State Board of Health is to conserve
the health of the people of the state
Toward this conservation they Will
gladly serve them through their physi-
clan. Later they will tell you some
thing about their work in the labora-
tory.

WHAT PERSHINC SAID
ABOUT THE NEGROES

Rumors from overseas have persist
emily decried the efficiency of the
Negro soldier when led by colored of
fcers, the conduct of a division so
differed being cited as proof. These
men, it is said on high authority, not
only failed under fire, but their col
ored officers had to be court-martialed
for cowardice.
Pershing's version of this story,
given to the white and colored men
who at the governments request in
vestigated it, should be given as full
publicity as the stories emanatlng
from less distinguished sources. Any
officer, of any race, the commanding
general said, might well have failed
in the same way under similar cir
cumstances. The troops had been
brought near the front to receive
several weeks of intensive training
before being put under fire for the
first time. But the Germans broke
through; and in the desperate need
these green troops were thrown In
the gap, along with every other man
available. Twelve of the colored Of
ficers lost their heads, and were after
wards courtmartialed, though some of
them were acquitted on trial. Other
colored officers in the same division
were promoted for conspicuous cour-
age in the same battle, and were
awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross.
