to remain alone and to study the
Bible. He became obsessed with
strange ideas, his mother testified.
She said he was erratic and subject
to fainting spells.
Mrs, Padrick said there was insai-
lty in both her family and that. of
her husband. She gave the names of
TWO of her aunts who, she said, died
insane and she told of an aunt of
her husbands who had died in the
insane asylum.
Several Methodist preachers who
knew Padricl intimately declared
hlm to be peculiar on questions of
religion and doctrine of the Bible.
Kew. T. j. Christian, pastor of The
Methodist church of Statesboro, who
performed the marriage ceremony
Ior young Padrick, declared it as his
opinion that the young man is insane.

FILIBUSTER IN
SENATE HOLDS
Tax Equalization Law To Lose
When House Is Reached
House Action Doubtful

ATLANTA, July THE filibust-
er in the senate over the repeal of
the tax equalization law continued
today, and it looks like it will re-
main in progress for several days.
The majority of the members of
the senate favor the repeal of the
law but the minority led by L. C.
Brown, of Athens, and others aro
blocking the efforts of the majority
at every step. A yea and nay roll
call on every question is demanded.
Various and sundry motions are
made for the purpose of killing time
and preventing the measure from
coming to a vote.
When the dilatory tactics come to
an end the senate will pass the re-
peal bill. The attitude of the house
on the question is doubtful, as house
leaders are of the opinion that before
the equalization bill is repealed there
should be some satisfactory meas
ure to take its place, otherwise the
state Will be in bankrupt condition.

YEAST NO FAD

The greatest scientific minds agree
that yeast is one of the most inn
portant medical discoveries. No
method of banishing skin eruptions
or building health has yet been found
which can equal it. This is because
yeast contains certain vital elements
which are lacking in the modern
diet Already millions of people have
secured amazing benefits from yeast.
Recently, however, a new process has
been discovered called "ironization,"
through which people are securing
benefits from yeast in just half the
usual time. This process, embodied
only in Ironized Yeast, helps to inn
mediately convert the vital yeast ele-
ments into firm tissue and rich pure
blood. If weak, thin or rundown

KIWANIS BACK
ACCIE REQUEST
Effort To Secure Payment By AS
sembly Of Building Debt
Heartily Endorsed

The Americas Kiwanis club went
on record Friday at its weekly lunch
con as endorsing the efforts of the
Third District Agricultural school to
obtain from the present assembly an
appropriation to liquidate the debt of
about $4,000 on the new academic
building at the school which was
erected to replace one of the main
buildings of the school destroyed by
fire in 1916. The proposal was made
by Stephen Pace. W. T. Lane pro
posed that the club throw its entire
support behind the proposal. He de-
clared that the state owned the prop
erty, that the school was a state in
stitution, that the money was not
asked to pay an accumulated floating
debt but for magnificent building
which was an essential to the opera
ton of the school, that the school had
no way of paying the debt but would
be crippled as long as it existed, and
that it was the states business and
DUTY to pay 1t. Mayor j. +. Shep-
pard moved that the club heartily en-
dorse the school and its request of
the assembly and that Secretary
Bradley Hogg be instructed so to no
tlfy the proper persons and officials.
The clubs entertainment took a
patriotic form. Al the recent inter
national convention an amendment to
the constitution was adopted provid-
ing that the national emblem be dis
played at all meetings of local clubs
hereafter. Three local Boy Scouts
were guests Of the club and put on
flag and gun drill under the direc-
ton of Fred Smith, who made some
appropriate remarks upon the flag
and its meaning.

BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have besn
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.

When You wake up with bsekaohe and

them, like you relieve, your bowels, re-
moving all the body's alrinous waste,
else you have bacl7scbe 7 sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water sealds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night 3H
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of dad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys Will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder

surgeon, is the only one who extends
the hand of friendship. Suffering

wrong, but who had left him solely
because She disapproved of his
method of living. DR.. hamilton
discovers that the woman he loves is
the missing wife and in the dual CON
flict between love and loyalty the
story finds one of its clements of
interest.
The picture has been given a su-
perb production and teens with ac-
