AMERICUS, GEORGIA, MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 19, 1915
JOHN W. WHEATLEY
In the death of John W. W’heatley, one of Georgia’s best citizens has
laid down the burden carried through a period of more than four score
years. The passing of this venerable and highly esteemed citizen is not
only a loss to the community in which he had lived for sixty years, aid
i ing in its development and material growth, but to the entire state as well.
1 He was a business man of sagacity and achieved success in the com
mercial world, while in all walks of life as well he commanded the es
teem and confidence of his fellow ra :n. His long life’s journey was an
honorable one, and he sleeps well.
MONEY IN CONVENTIONS
Americus is goon t» entertain several state conventions. The first
to come this way will be the state Sunday school convention; then the
Epworth league convention; and later on the state gathering of the
Woodmen of the World.
While Americus will take pleasure in entertaining the delegates from
all parts of the state still there is a mercenary side to every convention
that is also pleasing. It is nice to have these visitors in our city and to
entertain them and convert them into Americus boosters. But when we
can do this and at the same time carry on a thriving mercantile trade
with them, so much the beter.
Statistics published by the national chamber of commerce state that
on an average every convention spends $lO per man per day. That means
SIO,OOO a day for every thousand delegates.
The Athens Banner published the follow ing the day the W. O. W. con
vention closed their state convention there a few days ago:
It is estimated that the convention of Woodmen left at least $7,-
or SB,OOO cash in Athens during their stay of three full days here.
There were in all more than a til usand delegates and visitors. The
delegates received $4 a day and m leage. More of them spent more
than their per diem than otherwise.
Many of the ladies did considerable shopping; the men, too, spent
a good deal of money.
So we welcome every single convention. First of all because we like
to entertain good substantial people like the delegates are. Second be
cause we know we have the best county in the state and want to prove it
to them; third, because we want the trade they will bring.
We will not be entirely satisfiei that winter is in the discard until
we can sit down before a dish of new Irish potatoes.—Savannah Press.

desperate fight this summer to amend the present law so that the state
will have prohibition sure enough. It is also said that they will try to

seven democrats with the republicans of the senate, ocean rates have ad

what the bill was defeated for. The shipping trust is having its own way
-—and those seven democrats are responsible for it. —Greensboro Herrld-

THHE Initial announcement of the appearance of Alice Nielsen, prima
I donna of the Metropolitan and Boston Opera Companies, at 120 Red-
I path Chautauquas this season has been whledly heralded throughout
the musical world. This is the first Instance In which so celebrated
a musical artist has appeared on a great chain of Chautauquas. It Is safe to
aay, however, that with Increasing demand among Chautauqua patrons for
the best in music many other tours of world famous musicians will fol
low in years to come. Leading musical Journals have commented upon this
tour as an Innovation which will open a new and broader field to the greatest
musical talent
Alice Nielsen, unlike so many of our greatest artists, was not born in
Europe, but is a native of Nashville, Tenn. She Is a beautiful southern wo
man of whom the south Is especially proud. Her fame as a singer Is world
wide.
CUE FOE THE CHILDREN'S TEETH
(By Elise Ward Morris.)
Every mother knows, or should
know, the importance of keeping the '
baby’s mouth sweet and clean. She
carefully follows the advice of doctor
or nurse, in mopping out the little
mouth with antiseptic lotions, and lat
er anxiously watches the tender little
gums for the appearance of the first
ooth. But when all the teeth have
agonized their way through, then
somehow, the average mother forgets
that her little one has teeth to be car
ed for.
“Oh, they are just the first teeth,” the
careless mother says. “So long as
they do not hurt, why bother about
them?”
Any reliable dentist will tell you

J that on the care of the first teeth much
of the strength and beauty of the
' second will depend. From the time
the first teeth have fully matured, af
ter all irritation has subsided, the
baby’s mouth and teeth should be
cleansed night and morning with a
very soft camel’s-hair toothbruch. A
mild solution of boric acid, or a few
■ drops of peroxide on the brush, must
be used in the little one’s mouth at
; least every other day. The average
child of two or three will understand
that he must not swallow the mouth
> wash, and will spit it out readily en
> ough. But if there is any difficulty
: simply moisten the brush and go over
every little tooth very carefully. If the
i child objects to the taste of the mouth

wash add a few drops of peppermint.
The addition of the peppermint will
increase the value of the solution rath
er than lessen it, as it is excellent for
the little digestion. Needless to say.
the prepared dental pastes and lotions
used on your own teeth will not serve
for the child, unless it has reached
four or six years. Even for a child of
six it is far better to have your den
tist give you a formula for a mild
powder than to purchase those sold in
. the drug stores. While the reliable
manufacturers offer only chemically
, pure preparations, the pastes and pow
ders may contain ingredients hard on
j a child’s stomach if swallowed —and
, it goes without saying that the little
’ one will swallow a portion of whatev
| er goes into its mouth.
Make a thorough examination at
least once a month of the child's teeta
1 to find possible decay. While a tooth
that is clean stands far less danger of
decay, sometimes, despite the best of
care, the little first teeth become bad.
§ This may be an inheritance, or it may
be caused by an over acidity of the
blood due to improper diet, or other
amendable causes.
; IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SAETS
i
i Says Backache is Sign You Have Been
r
Eating Too Much Meat.
i, ’
When you wake up with backache
1 and dull misery in the kidney region it
1 generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au
' thority. Meat forms uric acid which
r overworks the kidneys in their effort
2 to filter it from the blood and they
1 become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
1 When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and w'hen the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels of
ten get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of graces and lemon juice, com
bined 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 ir
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
•neat eaters. It is inexpensive, can
not injure and makes a delightful, ef
fervescent lithia-water drink.
