LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor Americas Times-Recorder.

GulLOA AHISAi CuS AiilVS-ASCCO4dC1s
Dear Sir: l have been reading
with interest the results of your re-
cent investigation, with the assist
ance of the South Georgia Public
Utilities company, with reference
to the water supply for the City of
Americas. In this investigation
you have done much for the city
and should be commended for your
service in the matter, and we all
agree that if our water could be
supplied by any electrical device
recommended by this company, at
the saving they assert, it would be
a great step forward for the may
or and city council to take, and no
doubt everyone would be in favor
of it.
However, as you and the South
Georgia Public Utilities company
probably know, since this company
has attempted to furnish us our
lights and power, every person who
wants to be reasonably sure that he
will have lights at night has been
put to the expense of buying lamp
and keeping a supply of kerosene on
hand, or use candles as was done
many years ago. While that incon-
venience and minor expense does
not financially embarrass anyone, it
might be different should the time
come when our people will have to
be digging wells at their homes to
secure an adequate water supply, or
guarantee same at all times.
Personally, I do not have any
dea of the amount of water neces-
sary to supply the city nor how long
it takes to pump it, but according to
The experiences we are having at
this time without lights and power
It might be well to have the consult
ing engineers figure on sudden inter
ruptions in the current at the pump
ing station for at least one-third of
he time, as these Interruptions are
ike company, they come when least
expected. It is possible for us to
do without drinking water a few
hours each day, if it were neces-
sary, but we do not want to wake
~ some night and find our town
burning up, with the South Georgia
Public Utilities company in Albany,
| pLcning Us that they have another
arge hawk on the lines which they
viii have to locate before we can
ger water to put out the Are. And
as You know they are never going
to fire UP the power house in Amcri-
Gus any more when there is any
hope of getting their line in order
within day or so.
| write this in order that i. might
eau, the people of Americas to be
reasonably certain and think along
this line some before taking another
cap in the dark, depending upon
the South Georgia Public Utilities
company to furnish our lights and
power, as it seems now that we can
rest assured that all light and pow
er will only be furnished in "brok-
en- lots" hereafter.
! Respectfully,
JAS. A. SMITH.

Out of Bounds.

The speakers text, "Ghosts, an
Illusion of the Optical Nerves" In
winding up his discourse of ridi-
cule and disbelief he questioned his
audience in loud stentorian tones:
Can any of you tell me of a
case where in a physical encounter
with a so-called ghost the ghost
didn't prove up to be of flesh and
blood? Have any of you ever had
an encounter with such a thing as
a ghost?"
An Irishman, pretty.well bandag-
ed up, arose near the front of the
auditorium and raised his hand.
sAhp exclaimed the speaker,
heres a man with something to
tell us! Come on up, my friend,
and let's hear what you've got to
say"
Pat laboriously worked his way
to the speakers stand. The speak
er scrutinized him sharply.
'You claim to have had an en-
counter with a ghost?" he ques-
toned specifically.
"Tis a bit deaf Dye am, sor,"
mentioned Pat, would yez mind
sayin' thot over AGAIN."
"You say you have had an en-
counter with a ghost?" querried the
Irishman bewilderedly. "Ghost? All,

Health
Hints
by the
Father of
Physical
Culture

Pulsating health is your rightful
heritage:
Dominating efficiency can be de-
veloped if you are willing to make
the necessary efforts.
iii health is inexcusable. 1t is due
to ignorance, carelessness, laziness.
Make the best of yourself.
Develop all attainable powers of
mind, body and soul.
1t is only thus can you become
super-man or super-woman-
Human tragedies are strewn ali
along the pathway of life; and the
cause of these failures is usually i'll
health. If you desire to succeed, if
your life is to be worth while, you
must be vitality efficient
Hard work brings efficiency, but
the ability to labor with such concen-
trated effort depends upon the possess
sion of superior physical force. Your
nerves must be il good working or
der, your stomach, heart, lungs and
every part of your physical organism
must be vibrating with the power of
health.
If you are weakling life will be
meaningless to you, regardless of your
mental achievements. Weaklings are
towards. But with strength a man
acquires courage, persistence, ambi-
ton and enthusiasm. He is able to
dominate every difficulty. He is mas
ter ef every emergency.
Our own exPresident Roosevelt
was weakling in youth. But he
determined to become strong man.
And through his own untiring efforts
he finally developed unusual physical
hardihood. He became so splendidly
vigorous sat when he was at Har-
ward College he was the champion
boxer of that institution. Colonel
Roosevelts whole life is magnifi-
cent example of what can be accom-
plished through superior health. And
everyone can acquire it.
Georges Clemenceau, the Tiger
Premier of France, spent many years
of his life as physiciapSp racticing
in America as well as n Europe.
His experience taught him that efFec-
tive human endeavor is largely de-
pendent upon physical condition. The
acute inind that earned for him lofty
station in the seats of the mighty, the
energy and endurance that enabled
him to carry himself and his beloved
France through terrific ordeals, were
possible only to one having superb
physical equipment, the approach of
his eightieth year proving no obsta-
Gle to his vigorous usage of his
physique. JThe work performed by
him in behalf of humanity stands as
enduring evidence of the efficiency
that attends the sane use of the sound
mind in the sound body.

ESIRE
Man looks for little here below,
A little chance, maybe,
To find in Love little glow
In Youth little glee;
A little time frivoling
Before the years are shriveling
A spirit glad and free.
Man gets but little here below,
Nor keeps that little long;
A little hour perhaps to know
A little mirth and song,
A little strength for laboring,
A little time for neighboring
With friends among the throng,
Man looks for little here below,
And little does he get,
Save, now and then, little show
To earn, by work and sweat,
A little cash for squandering
On pleasuring or wandering
To ease the heart of fret.
~
Man, hoping little here below,
Wins even less, it's true.
Most of his little visions go
Quite swiftly up the flue!
Life has heap of stings to it,
Yet, golly, how man clings to it
Until his time is through!
