Romances Fostered by Mail
Sometimes End Other
Than Expected.

Civil service records show that
more than 65 per cent OF the Gov,
ernment employees In Washington
are women: and therefore Que
would deduce that matrimonial
agencies thrive accordingly.
The deducstion is correct, &C.
coraing to officials at the War
Department, who are beginning
to become somewhat bored at the
perfumed letters which are daily
mixed UP with military mail.

1T is our purpose, with cold facts.
10 expose the misrepresentation heap
Cd upon railroad employees and other
classes Of American workers. Not
only to protect our own economic in
terests in this case. but also as pa
trtotic American citizens, we believe
II our duty to indict this vast and
powerful body Of wartime and post
war pronteers before the bar of pub
lie opinion, to repudiate the stigma
OF dishonor which they have attempt
ed to place upon railroad and other
workers during and since the war,
and to fix the guilt of high prices,
the increased cost of living and
prohtering upon them-where IL
rightly belongs. 1t cannot be denied,
In the light OF the incontrovertible
facts here presented, that, while mil
lions of our fellow-workers offered
the supreme sacrifice in France or
were suffering loss in their pre-war
status in assisting in production Of
munitions and necessities of war in
mines. mills and factories, organized
capital was taking advantage of the
critical national emergency to pile up
what President Wilson has described
as "unconscionable' profits: taking
advantage of the nations sacrifices
and grief to gather to themselves an
incredible amount of illegitimate
profits, and to create thousands of
miiiionaires whose fortunes rest

show that increased prices have re-
bounded to the beneit Of capital with
no corresponding compensatory re-
turn to labor. His statement to the
Labor Board was concluded with the
submission of the following general
demands In the name OF the railroad
workers:
II. Labor in general, and railroad
labor In particular, must have wage
increases proportionste to advances
in living costs.
"2. In the present crisis, and for al,
time to come, producers and middle
men must be restrained from adyapc-
ing prices In excess of increases in
labor and material costs.
%. Producers and middlemen must
refrain from including income and ex-
cess profit taxes In ths1r costs and
passing them on to the consumer with

A BIG RISK.

The great bulk of the property in
this nation is insured on a value bas-
ed on pre-war figures.
If it should be destroyed by fire
today the insured would suffer about
fifty per cent loss.
Few people have taken this mat
ter into consideration but it is ques
ton which should be given serious
consideration.
In another catastrophe like the
San Francisco fire the loss would be
enormous and thousands of individ-
uals would be bankrupt.
Anyone who has given the sub
ject the slightest consideration
knows that costs of virtually all ma
terials and labor will average near
ly double what they were five years
ago.

An odd accident led to the discov-

An odd accident led to the oiseov-
cry Of lithographlng.
In 1895 q ticket stamper, employed
at Munich theater. carelessly left his
salary check on table in the room
where he worked. A gust OF wind
suddenly blew the check on the TAME
into a basin of water on the floor.
He dried the check as best he could,
and, TO straighten the paper out. ne
placed 1t underneath the milestone.
which had been resting on his print
ing stamp, and left 1t lying there
throughout the night.
The following morning, on taking
the stone off the check, he was sur
prised to see that the imprint from
the stone was transferred to the
check, and the thought struck him
that by means of a large stone ~
could print programs and songs. he
made experiments, and finally discov-
ered-through this accident-the art
of printing from stone.
Thus was he the first lithogrspher.

PUT FIGHTING

YOUR BLOOD
If You Are Pale and Weak,
Without Ambition, You Need
A Tonic
TRY TAKING
PEPTO-MANGAN
Rich, Red Blood Fights Off Dis
ease and Keeps You Well and
Enables You To Work
With Pleasure

Serious sickness often comes when
you least suspect. You may feel
little over-tired. You haven't been
exposed to contagion, yet all of a
sudden you are fiat on your back and
in for a siege of sickness.
Your blood did not have fighting
qualities. 1t was weak and thin.
Your vitality and powers of resist
ance were low.
When you overdo you use up en-
ergy. Your blood is driven to do
more than it can. 1t becomes clog
ged with waste. The waste acts like
poison Disease germs get in YOUR
blood and dominate.
Don't let yourself get rundown.
Take that good tonic, Pepto-Mangan.
1t makes rich, red blood that will le-
sist and rout out disease germs.
Pepto-Manedn is widely and heart
lily endorsed by physicians. It is eff
fective and easy to take. Comes in
either liquid or tablet form. Both
have the same effect.
Sold at any drug store. But be
sure you get the genuine Pepto-Man-
gan" Guides" Ask for it by the
name and be sure the full name,
"Gude's epto-Mangan,' is on The

Red Rome was undoubtedly the
bapniest rural school in the county
on Oct. %. This pleasure and happl-
ness was wrought by six little fairies
and their fairy godmother, who con-
stitute the neighboring school at
Philema. "a
The enchantment began about III
O'Clock in the morning when the stu
dents saw their little visitors In the
distance and heard their glad songs.
The students at Red Bone, being too
impatient to wait for them to arrive,
ran hastily down the road, in the
midst of a golden cloud of dust, to
Join in the glad shouts.
Formal introductions were not nee
essary or allowed as thew went i'm
mediately to choosing the opposing
sides in a ball game which quickly
followed The ball game being over,
they all joined in games with which
they were all familiar. The music
and singing followed, consisting of
group singing, solos, duets and~ in
strumental music.
An old time spread dinner was the
chief feature of the noon hour, and
very probably more highly appreciat-
ed by the small children, who were
very tired and hungry, than any OF
the preceding exercises.
The hearts of the children were
sad when the hour arrived for theil
little friends and their godmother
Miss Dora Petit, to leave.

New Effort Made To
Save Crawleys' Lives

ATLANTA, Oct. 27.-An extra
ordinary motion for a new trial for
George and Decatur Crawley, un-
der sentence to be hanged for the
murder of Benjamin F. Dixon, a
deputy United States marshal, in IN
ion county, and Rose Crawley and
Blaine Stewart, under sentences of
life Imprisonment, as accessories,
will be heard Saturday, November
6, before Judge J. B. Jones, in
Gainesville.
The motion, which was filed by
Attorneys Hughes Spalding and John
A. Sibley, counsel for the defense,
is based on the ground that two of
the jurors were disqualified. 1t is
alleged that one is a relation of the
dead mans wife, while the other is
alleged to have said before the trial
chat it was his intention to convict
and hang the Crawleys if he served
on the jury.
All four of the prisoners have
spent the past four months in the
Fulton county tower.
