1t does not seem to make any diff

icine the result is the same if taken
either by young or old. Here is case
of veteran of the Grand Army of
the Republic, a man who is over IS
wears of age, being completely re-
lieved of long time attack of Bron-
chitis which as anyone can tell you
who has had it, there is hardly any
thing which is more nerve-racking
or which will pull you down in health
quicker. For over two years Mr.. |. D.
Morgan, a visitor here and who re-
sides in St. Lotus, suffered as few
men have; it was particularly hard
with Mr.. Morgan on account of his
years and consequently harder to re-
lieve He says that he came to this
city on March 18th, this year, after
suffering intensely at his home, with
the hope that Florida's balmy climate
and life out doors would help him:
but instead of getting better he con-
tinued to grow worse and Just
coughed night and day almost with
out stopping, until he was so run
down and impoverished that he de-
SPARED of ever getting well or even
better. One day while sitting in Hem
ming Park he read in an ad how a
prominent local man had been SO
much helped and although he had
tried many so-called "cures" with
out result he was so impressed with
the statements made that he decided
to once more see if there could be
any help for him. The first bottle of
Plank's Blood Medicine eased his
cough and the second bottle gave so
much relief that he began to feel
hopeful and the third bottle practi-
cally cleared up. this two year old
Bronchial cough. Mr. Morgan was so
run down that he could hardly breathe
nerves were all gone and life was
anything but pleasant dream but
now, thanks to Plank's Blood MedN
cine, he is getting around more like
young man than one of rs years
and expects to leave for his home at
1541 Welston Place, st. Louis, Mis-
souri,, in short time and intends al
so to surprise those who thought he
would never return alive. Mr.. Morgan
has gained substantially in weight,
also. For many years he was Chief
of Police in Wellston, East st. Louis,
and has been member of Ransom
Post, G. A. r., since the days he
marched with Generals Thomas and
Sherman. He also followed the work
of engineering and has been connect
ed with many public improvements
in his native state. Plank's Blood
Medicine can be secured at Nathan

W. OSBORNE, OF
SAVANNAH, DEAD
Heart Trouble Fatal to
Notable Lawyer and
Banker

SAVANNAH, June William w.
Osborne, prominent lawyer and for
many years political leader of this
section, known over the state and
the entire South as an attorney of
ability, died Sunday morning at 10
o'clock. He had been affected with
heart trouble for some time, but only
for several hours prior to his death
was it thought that the end was near.
Mr. Osborne is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Louette Dale
two daughters, Mrs. Charles Houston.
of indianapolis land Mrs. Guy Stew
ems, of New York, and four brothers,
DR.. Elton Osborne, DR.. H. D. Os.
borne and Howard Osborne, all OF
Savannah, and J. D. Osborne, of At
lanta.
Mr.. Osborne was in his fifty-third
year. He was born at Graniteville.
S. c., October 10, 1857, but lived
here since boyhood. He was a stu
dent at Mercer and later was gradu-
ated from the state university. He
began law in the office of Denmark
& Adams and was later a member
of the firm of Pope, Barrow & W. W.
Osborne. For some years he has been
senior member of the firm of Os-
borne & Lawrence.
In 1906 he organized the Exchange
Bank and was president of the insti-
tuition until his death. He had heen
president of the Georgia Bar Asso-
citation and was recognized in many
states as a brilliant advocate. He
was solicitor general of the eastern
circuit for four terms, 1898 to 1908.
AS member of his firm, of which
Alexander A. Lawrence was the 9TH
er member, he was one of general
counsel for the Savannah Electric
Company and has represented many
other clients, whose interests de-
manded special legal ability. He was
active in politics fer a number of
years, and, while of late he had per-
sonally sought no ofi:c, he was un-
usually aggressive in the advocacy
of his views on matters of local,
state and national moment
He represented Chatham III the leg
islature for two years and this dis
trict in the state senate for two
years. In the house he was chair
man of the committee on immigra-
ton and in the senate he was chair
man of the committee on railroads.

Development of
A Normal Baby

An inexperienced mother is often
at loss to know whether her baby
is properly thriving and may be un-
duly alarmed at small matters, or
may not understand the serious ma
ture of certain conditions. The best
indications Of a perfectly healthy
baby are steady gain in weight and
quiet, peaceful sleep. If baby shows
fretfulness, sleeplessness, gas or sour
stomach, or is inclined to constipa-
tion, it should have attention.
Most of the baby's troubles come
from improper assimilation of food,
resulting in Indigestion. This leads
to faulty elimination, and of course,
baby doesn't develop properly. When
these symptoms occur, a good baby
laxative will generally suffice, but
great care should be exercised not to
give baby strong, irritating drugs
that will set up inflammation in the
delicate membrane of baby's stom-
ach.
One of the best laxatives for babies
is Baby Ease," a perfected prepara-
tion by baby specialist, that is easy
acting, non-irritating, does not pro-
duce over-action or leave baby con-
stipated. 1t is a safe. harmless and
efficient laxative and corrective. If
baby does not improve after a few
doses, take him to a physician. Ask
your druggist for BABY Ease"

consented for our general chairman,
Mr.. Thomas, to participate in the con-
ference it was his understanding the
general chairmen were to take their
findings stated in the first paragraph
of this notice before Mr.. Downs, and
bring whatever force necessary to
bear on him to effect a settlement
with us. But, when he learned that
the attitude of the general chairmen
was so very unfavorable to the Broth
erhood of Railway Clerks and their
officers in charge, he Immediately
withdrew Mr.. Thomas from the con-
ference.
Action In Protest.
"A. We reiterate that we know ex-
actly what we are doing, as our ac-
tion was taken in protest against the
violation of the Esch-Cummins acts,
by the officials of the Central of
Georgia Railway Company, and, while
we admit that no man is entirely i'm
mune from mistakes, we have abso-
lutte confidence in the capacity of
our officers to handle our affairs, and
we believe fully in their sincerity

STRIKING CLERKS
DEFEND ACTION
Say Downs is Attempt
ing to Disrupt
Union

Striking clerks of the Central of
Georgia Railway here today authorlZ
ed a statement to the public, setting
forth their side of the controversy
with the railroad company. In this
statement the clerks allege that Gen
eral Manager Downs of the Central
is striking at the very heart of
their brotherhood, with the idea of
completely disrupting it, and that be
cause of the action of Downs in is
suing an ultimatum to individual
clerks requirin~ them to return to
their Jobs, closed every avenue
through which conference might be
held. in which proper recognition
would be given them and negotiations
carried on. The clerks further assert
in their statement that their action
was taken 'Hn protest against the vio-
la5ion of the Esch-Cummins act by
the officials of the Central Of Georgia
Railway Company" and that they
have full confidence in the ability of
their own officers to handle their in
terests in this controversy.
The Statement.
The statement, which is a lengthy
one sets forth the intentions OF the
strikers in detail as follows:
THE following are the reasons for
the officers of the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks not having partici-
pated in the General Chafrmens' Con-
ference held in the office of Superin
tendent Baldwin, Macon, Ga, May
2Sth. 1920, together with a state
ment of facts which we trust will be
sufficient to set right any wrong I'M
preston that might have been made
through the press upon our good eItl-
zens who have so strongly contided in
US and have been so patient with us
since our trouble began:
Il. The general chairmen constl-
tuting this conference reviewed the
files of the officers of the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks Immediately
after the clerks left their jobs on
Nav 18th, and advised the officers of
the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks
that their findings were entirely sat
isfactory as to the legality of our ac-
ton, and that they had been author
izde by the heads of their respective
organizations to tender their support.
The possession of these facts, on the
basis of which they received their
authority to support US, made any
further investigation unnecessary and
the holding of such a conference a
violation of the principles and tradi-
tions of organized crafthood.
Downs Ignored Officers.
"2. General Manager Downs issued
his ultimatum for the return of the
clerks directly to the individual clerks
and not to their officers, thus ignor-
ing such officers and closing every
avenue through which a conference
might be held with them in which
proper recognition would be given
them and negotiations carried on. We
cannot accept this action of the gem
eral manager in any other light than
striking right at the very heart of our
brotherhood, and a direct attempt
to completely disrupt it, and we sub
nit to the public that in the fact
of this action our officers could not
have become parties to this confer
ence or any similar conference, with
out having surrendered the sovereign
ty of their organization and the honor
and dignitu of it's constituency.
