St. Louis Shaft to LacIede.

Pierre Laclede, founder of st. Louis
nearly 100 years ago, like De Soto be-
fore him. died on the Mississippi river
He was buried on shore somewhere
near the mouth of the Arkansas. but
companions who went later to disinter
his remains found that the river had
washed them away, giving Laclede his
last resting place in the body of water
which had been so closely associat ed
with his life. says the Detroit News.
Laclede, a native Frenchnan, sold
his chateau in the shadow of the &yre-
nees to acquire the means to come to
the New World. He went first to New
Orleans. where he fought in the Colonial
wars Then he sailed up the Missis-
sippi to find location for a trading
post, and coming upon this site, knew
that his quest was finished.
A monument to Leclede's memory
was recently unveiled In ST. Louis.

To Secure Northern
And Western Farmers
For South Georgia

ATLANTA, Ga, The suggestion
made recently by the agricultural ag-
ents of the Atlanta, Birmingham &
Atlantic Railway that the civic clubs
of Southern cities generally can do a
fine work by taking up the problem
of finding Southern rural homes for
Northern and Western farmers who
are eager to locate where the climate
is more genial, has been received in
Atlanta and other southern cities with
great interest, and reports received
show that steps will soon be made in
that direction.
There are thousands of acres of fine
farming lands in the South capable of
the highest degree of cultivation now
lying idle, according to the officials of
the A. B. & A.
"It is just such land as the Northern
farmers would wish, said A. D. Dan
iel, general passenger agent of the A.
B. & A. system who has been making
close study of the situation, together
with Col. B. L. Bugg, receiver and
]. L. Edwards, assistant receiver of
the same road.

scaly "scab'', which leaves a reddish
surface when removed.
The skin is made up of several
layers of cells which resemble the
brick forming the walls of a house
Skin cancers grow from different law
ers of these cells. Those about the
head and face arise from the base
ment layer do not grow fast andI do
not spread of "metastasize" early or
rapidly to the nearby glands. They
rarely return when thoroughly re-
moved and may be treated successfully
by a number of means.
In other parts of the body skin can
GERS are more serious because they
arise from another layer of the cells
of the skim. They grow rapidly. The
cells reach out into the surrounding
tissue, break off and are carried to
the nearby glands where secondary
growths start, just as in plants that
send their roots under ground for a
distance and then send up new psrouts.
These cancers may arise in the edge
of a scar, from deep burn, some
times from mole, and frequently
without cause. At first, they look like
small nodules or Jumps; or a mole
may begin to grow and get hard and
scaly; or the edge of a scar may
have raised, shiny appearance and
then become a "sore."
There is another kind of skin can
Ger which is very fatal. 1t arises
from a flat back mole andI spreads
rapidly to all parts of the body 1t
is the most difficult cancer to cure;
the only real cure is to have such a
mole thoroughly removed before it
becomes a cancer.
To prevent the development of skin
cancer have an suspicious spot thor
oughly examined by your physician
and, if he is not sure it will never give
future trouble have it removed. IF
you have a cancer already developed
do not procrastinate, as no man can
tell when one of the cells may be
torn off and taken to some distant and
inaccessible part of the body.
Early Cancer Can Be Cured. Can
Ger may be prevented by the proper
care of known pre-cancer areas. Late
cancer cannot, at present, be perma-
Snently cured!

Realize Benefits OF
Federal Reserve System

ATLANTA, Ga, Country banks
are more and more realizing the ben
efits of the federal reserve system and
are joining it more rapidly than they
have ever done before, in the opinion
OF Georgia bankers. The Federal Re-
serve Bank of Atlanta, it is stated, has
reported new additions to membership
within the last few weeks.
The value of the federal reserve
banking system is constantly being
stressed at meetings of bankers in At
lanta and elsewhere, and particular at
tention is being directed to the unus-
ual aid given the agricultural interests
through the various member banks.
The sixth district bank, located in
Atlanta, covers Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Lou
isiana. 1t provides an immense res
ervolr OF credit for its member banks,
handling large amounts of agricultural
paper. Governor M. B. We1lborn, head
of the bank, is probably one of the
best informed bankers in the country
on agricultural conditions and the
needs of the farmer, as brought to his
attention through the member banks.
1T would be difficult to find a bank
er i'll this country who thoroughly un-
derstands the workings of the fed
eral system who would be willing to
admit that we could continue among
the firsttclass commercial nations
without the federal reserve banks, or
mechanism similar to them in construc
ton or designed to perform similar
duties" said an Atlanta banker.
Declaring that these great redis-
count institutions are of untold value
to commercial America and the South
particularly, southern bankers, it was
stated in Atlanta, are urging the credit
men to mate the usefulness of such
banks known to the rank and file of
the country,

WHY THAT LAME BACK?

That morning 1ameness, those sharp
pains when bending or lifting, make
work a burden and rest impossible.
Don't be handicapped by bad back
look to your kidneys. You will make
no mistake by following this Fitz-
gerald residents example.
Mrs. ]. A. Cross, 3O1 w. Altamaha,
ST., says: "My kidneys were disord-
cred and I suffered from lame back
some time ago. My back was painful
and mornings I could hardly get out
of bed I felt SO miserable. Everything
turned black before me and 7 thought
I was going to fall. My kidneys acted
too often. I read about Doan's
Pills and bought some at the
National Drug Co. Two boxes of
Doan's cured me of the attack and l
felt like a different woman"

WARNING NO. /

The popular conception of cancer
is that it is an open sore which shows
a tendency to increass il size arAi
depth, which does not yield to ordi-
nary methods of treatment, and
which is finally followed by severe
constitutional symptoms.
Such conception is erroneous; a
sore may or may not be cancerr and
when it is, it may be one of the
simpler varieties that can be cured by
any one of several remedies. Prob
ably 50 per cent to Is per cent of the
cancers advertised as cured by quacks
never were cancers.
The most serious cancers never ap-
pear as external sores; consequently
the popular idea concerning them
must be revised before the death rate
can be reduced. Unfortunately, early
cancers do not cause pain. If they
did, the death rate could be material
ly lowered in few years; people will
seek medical aid for pain, while a
deadly disease that does not cause
pain will go unheeded.
Cancer most frequently makes its
appearance as lump-of course all
Jumps are not cancers. Again most
cancers are found in people past forty
Years of age; the two decades from
thirty-five to fifty-five claim the
largest number of victims. Certain
organs and parts of the body are the
site of cancers at particular periods
of life and it is our object to teach
the people enough about cancer to
make them watch for suspicious symp-
toms and consult their physicians if
they are in doubt. In this way thous-
ands of lives may be save each year.
1t is not a bad idea to follow the ex-
ample of business men; nearly all cor
porations employ an auditor to ex-
anime their books and check up their
stock Would it not be a good idea
to take stock of Your health once or
twice year?
Skin Cancer: Skin cancer. rodent
ulcer, and epithalioma are. all names
used to describe cancers which are
most frequently located on the face
nose, eye1ids, back of the neck, and
sometimes on the extremities. They
