Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford's Black-Draught, which 1 did,

I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
time now, and when my children feel a

does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick

using Black-Draught.’’

FRENCH SOLDIER PASSES
SPARE TIME TRUCK GARDENING
FRENCH FRONT, Feb. 7.—Like the
stage-driver who spent his monthly
day oft in riding on an omnibus, the
French soldier when released for a
short repose from digging and guard
ing trenches passes most of his time
digging and hosing truck gardens.
I All along the French front, around
the depots and the custonments and
even about the dugouts, The Associat
ed Press correspondent has seen ad
mirably laid-out truck-gardens. At
the beginning of the new year there
were 5,622 of these plots under culti
vation by French soldiers, and the
prodcce of these plots for the past
' year is valued by the army authorities
at 13,000,000 francs at wholesale
prices.
| Nearly everywhere good results have;
been obtained and passing through the ■
country parallel with the trenches the
correspondent saw on all sides well
j tended and flourishing beds of cab
bage. Brussels sprouts, lettuce, leeks
and other green stuff. Not only, how
ever, are vegetables of all kinds grown '
by the men, but in some cases the j
soldiers have initiated small breeding
establishments for the raising of do
mestic animals, and often while shells
are whistling overhead the chorus is
■ joined by squealing hogs and cackling
and quacking hens, geese and ducks
iin styles and runs erected by ’ the
! soldiers.
SOUTH IS BECOMING LEADER
IN COTTON MANUFACTURING
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 7.
“Each month’s report from the Census
' Bureau add a chapter to the story of
1 the passing of supremacy in cotton
manufacturing to the South,” said
President Harrison, of the Southern
, Railway System, today.
i “The report of the consumption ot
cotton in the mills of the United
I States during the month of ecember
I shows that consumption in Southern
■
mills during the month amounted to
307.617 bales, an increase of 12,089
i bales, or 4.09 per cent, over December
l 1915. Consumption in the mills of all
other states during the month amount
ed to 307,617 bales, an increase of
12,089 bales, or 4.09 per cent, over
December, 1915. Consumption in. the
mills of all other states during the
month amounted to 228,970 bales, a
decrease ot 30,507 bales, or 11.76 per
cent, below December, 1915.
“In the five months’ period ended
December 31, consumption in Southern
mills amounted to 1,583.581 bales, an
increase of 207,218 bales, or 15.05 per
cent, over the corresponding period
last year. Consumption in all other
states during the period amounted to
1,180,381 bales, an increase of 23,104
bales, or only two per cent. During
; the month of December consumption in
Southern mills exceeded that in the
mills of all other states by 78,647
bales, or 34.35 per cent.”

A THOROUGH TEST
One to Convince the Most Skeptical
Americus Reader.
The test of time is the test that
that counts.
Doan’s Kidney Pills have made their
reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Americus resldnts should be con
vinced.
The testimony is confirmed—the
proof is complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig
nored.
W. A. Hardin, grocer, Elm Ave. and
Hill St., Americus, says: *’l had se
vere pains in my back which were al
most unberable at times. The kidney
secretions were too frequent in pas
sage and highly colored. I tried
Doan’s Kidney Pills and got relief
from the first. Continued use removed
the pains in my back and the action of
my kidneys became regular.” (State
ment given March 8, 1910.)
Little Trouble Since.
OVER FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr.
Hardin said: "Doan’s Kidney PHU
cured me a few years ago and I am'
glad to again recommend them to oth-I
er sufferers from kidney trouble.”
Price- 50c, at all dealers. Don’t aim-1
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get -
Tioan s Kidney Pills—the same that.

Congress Mum
On TheH.C.
L. Now
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The second
session of the Sixty-fourth Congress
opened with a bang—on the high cost
of living. I
Indications today are it will close'
with the soft pedal on that selfsame
subject And nothing done about it I
The lawmakers have made no move
to disturb the slumbers of invesiga
ticn resolutions introduced on the
opening day.
Among those that will probably
sleep on right through the closing
days of this congress is the one intro
duced by Representative Boreland of
Missouri. It directs the Federal Trade
Commission “to investigate and report
to the House the facts relating to the
production, marketing, and distribu
tion of food products together with
any violation of the anti-trust laws in
connection therewith, and recommen
dations for greater economy and effic
iency in the marketing of food pro
ducts and the punishment and pre
vention of extortion in the prices
thereof."
AN AGED WOMAN
■ 1
Tells How Vinol Made Her Strong
In her eighty-second year, Mrs. John
Wickersham, of Russellville, Pa.,
says; "I was in a run-down, feeble
Condition and had lost flesh. A neigh
bor asked me to try Vinol. and after
taking two bottles my strength re
turned; I am gaining in flesh, it has
built up my health and I am feeling
fine for a woman of my age, so I get
around and do my housework.”
The reason Vinol was so successful
in Mrs. Wickersham’s case was be
cause it contains beef and cod liver
peptones, iron and manganese pepto
nates and glycerophosphates, the very
elements needed to build up a weak
ened run-down system and create
strength.

WHO HAS THE OLDEST
COINS IN THIS TERRITORY I'
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 7—And now,
following upon the arguments about
old jack-knives and old razors and old
vilins, comes the question of who has
the oldest coins in this territory.
Tifton started it by calling attention
to the fact that Captain Fred Wiggins,
the veteran railroad conductor, had a
Greek coin over 500 years old, and
some of Uncle Sam’s own coinage dat-
I ing back to 1817. |
Those coins are pretty old, but they
are mere babies in age compared with
1 some old pieces of money that W. B.
' Seabrook, of Atlanta, brought back
from France after his six months ser
-1 vice at the front, and is now showing
his friends here. I
He has one copper Egyptian coin
which was nearly as old at the time ot
the birth of Christ as Captain Wig-
I gins’ Greek coin is today, as well as a
1 dozen or more Roman coins some two
: thousand years old, more or less.
1 One of the most interesting is a
• copper coin with a head of Tiberius
t Caesar who was reigning when Christ
1 was born and who became ignomin-
■ iously famous for his persecution of
• the Christians. The head is clear-cut
- as a cameo. A silver coin was made
• in the reign of Julius Caesar and re-1
1 produces the features of the famous
soldier and writer whose book has
made so many schoolboys miserable;
' another of Marcus Aurelius, whose
■ “Meditations” are known to every
body. and, perhaps the most interest
ing of all, a coin showing the head of
J Faustine, the unfaithful wife of Mar
(' cus Aurelius, who was exceedingly
beautiful and deliciously wicked.
’ Can anybody la this part of Dixie
beat that for old coins?

t ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 7,-Listen!
Are you a blond? If so, goodbye,
1 for you won’t last long. You may be
• pretty, but you haven’t got the staying
r | qualities of your sister with the raven
■ locks and olive skin. Oh, no you are
r not going to die tomorrow or anything
■ like that. You may even stick around
s with your curly golden locks for a
few hundred years making the men
• crazy about you and the brunettes
yealous of your charms, but Old Man
Science says you will have to leave
us just the same, and that even today
I you can’t quite stand the gaff like the
j brunettes can.
’I “Give me the dark haired ones for
‘ hard work,” says the manager of an
• immense plant which employes wo-

“Why? Well, they can keep on go

>j “Dark hair, especially If it is in-
I dined to be somewhat coarse, de
notes the vigorous, intensely healthy
' nature. The survival of the fittest Is
slowly but gradually lessening the
; blonde among us.
;l “Just as In the south, the brunette,
■ with her greater powers ot resistence
’ against the heat and her more deeply
. pigmented skin has always had the
• best of the fray, so the brunettes of
more temperate climes are gradually
getting the upper hand.

Look Years Younger! Use Grandmoth
er’s Recipe of Sage Tea and Sul
phur and Nobody Will Know
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. ’Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
I streaked appearance, this simple mlx
. ture was applied with wonderful effect. I
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking ot
any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of
“Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound,” you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair .disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, it becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those- who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of,
disease. advt.
