MOTHER’S CABIN
PROVES TRAP TO
CRAWLEY BOYS
ATLANTA. Feb. 13. —It was love for |
their mother —their old sick mother. !
lying in a cabin at the foot of the
Great Smoky Mountains in East Ten
nessee —that led to the capture of
George and Decatur Crawley, the Un
ion county boys who are scon to face
trial in the United States court on a
charge of murdering U. S. Deputy Mar
shal Ben F. Dixon when he went to
arrest them about a month ago.
In Atlanta yesterday the story was
told by S. Glenn Young, a most re
markable and efficient special agent of
the department of justice, who has
trailed and captured 500 deserters in
the last two years, and who captured
the Crawley boys after a posse of sol
diers from Camp Gordon had followed
them 150 miles and given up the
chase.
Young found out that the mother
of the boys lived in the mountains
about 40 miles east of Knoxville. He
found out she was old,and sick and
badly in need of help. So he figured
that the boys who were known to
have gone into East Tennessee, would
make their way to the cabin where
she lived, and would stay around there
until there was danger of capture.
So Young went straight to Mrs.
Crawley’s house, and found that the
boys were living in a nearby cabin
with their sister. Rose Crawley, who
had followed them on foot across the
mountains in their flight from the
posse of soldiers. Alone and single
handed he walked in on the boys at
daylight Tuesday morning, and though
they were armed with rifles and re
volvers he got the drop on them and
handcuffed them without a struggle,
along with their cousin. Blaine Stew
art, who was also wanted by the gov
ernment, and who fled with them.
New Station Site
Will be Inspected
SAVANNAH, Feb. 13. —Aat the meet
ing here yesterday to receive bids for
the coastal plain experiment station,
authorized by an act of the last Geor
gia legislature, it was decided to in
spect the various sites offered before
reaching a decision. This inspection
trip will be made by the board at
once, it is understood.
Bids were submitted by delegations
from Thomas, Tift, Ware. Appling,
Wayne and Chatham counties. Besides
offers of farm sites for the station,
cash was an item of the bids made,
the offers showing a greater interest
in the station that had been antici
pated.
Tifton sent a large delegation to
make the Tift county offer, bearing
the endorsement of various counties
not submitting bids for the station,
including Sumter county. Governor
Dorsey was present at the meeting.
Hardwick Scores
Cotton Embargo
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-(By Asso
ciated Press.) —Aemoval <,f all-restric
tions against the free exportation of
cotton to enemy and neutral ccuntries
was demanded in the senate today by
Sneator Hardwick, of Georgia, whs
declared the .present embargo on re
strictions was unjust and indefensible.
ACID IN STOMACH
SOME FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid
is Cause of Indigestion.
A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion are near
ly always due to acidity—acid stomach
—and not, as most folks believe, from
a lack of digestive juices. He states
tjlat an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and starts
food fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which inflate the
stomach like a toy balloon. We then
get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the
chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas,
or have heartburn, flatulence, water
brash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast while it is effervescing, and
furthermore, to continue this for one
week. While relief follows the first
dose, it is important to neutralize the
acidity, remove the gas-making mass,
start the liver, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote a free flow of pure ;
digestive juices. V
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made '
from the acid of grapes and lemon* 1
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.

Convict Gets Drunk
Fails to Get ‘Home’
ATLANTA. February 13. —After
bringing twenty-six DeKalb county
convicts from Decatur to Atlanta and
turning them over to the Fulton coun
ty authorities, who have leased De-
Kalb county’s convict force, J. S.
Plyant,, the head convict guard of
DeKalb county, failed in his efforts
to pilot himself back home, and wound
up in police station yesterday after
noon on a charge of imbibing too free

which can. be purchased in this city
for $5.50 a pint.
Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can’t look or feel right
with the system full
* of poisons.
Millions of folks bathe Internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. “What’s an inside bathT"
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with a tea Spoonful of lime
stone phosphate In it. This is a very
excellent health measure. It is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neys and the thirty feet of Intestines
of the previous day’s waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over in
the body which if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which Infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed Into the blood
causing headache, bilious attacks, foul
breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trou
ble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, im
pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act cn
: the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate and
I hot water act on the stomach, liver,
) kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more
important to bathe on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
do*not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do. *

SOUTHEAST TO
GET TOUCH OF
WINTERSTORM
The most severe storm of the win
i ter is raging over the middle west to
day, and it is scheduled to be felt in
Georgia Friday, according to the gov
ernment weather forecast today
which read:
“Rain tonight; Friday colder and
probably fair, with strong south to
west winds.
A Chicago press dispatch to The
Times-Reeorder today said a heavy
snow, accompanied by extremely high
winds, had demoralized telegraph and
telephone service from Chicago to the
Pacific coast, and that railroad traffic
also was delayed.
Warnings For Southeast.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—(8y Asso
ciated Press.) —The most severe storm
of the winter was central this morn
ing over northwest Missouri, the
weather bureau announced. Storm
warnings were ordered displayed on
the Atlantic coast from Virginia to
Jupiter, Fla., and on the Gulf coast
from Bay St. Louis to Key West.
Forgives Three Times
But Sues on Fourth
ATLANTA, Feb. 13. —Not once but
three times her husband told her that
he had transferred his affections to
another woman, and three times he
left her and. stayed away several
months, and three*times he came back
and begged her forgiveness and asked
her to reinstate him, and three times
she fell for his persuasive [pleadings
—but the fourth time she lost her pa
tience and decided to have no more to
do with him—according to the divorce
pietition of Mrs. Lepna M. Walter
against her husband Arch F. Walker.
She avers that she was willing to go
the limit with him to get along sue-,
cessfully and happily, but every time
he saw some woman whose looks ap
pealed to him he frankly and brutally
informed her. she claims, that he did
not love her any longer, and took his
departure. *

Nervousness and
Headaches Caused
by Acid-Stomach
There is a much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. It is because of
this close connection that indigestion,
belching, sour, gassy stomach and
other stomach miseries—all of which
are sure signs of acid stomach—are so
often followed by severe attacks of
blinding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritabil
ity,mentaldepression,melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same source—acid-stomach.
So often you hear people say “lam
bo nervous I think I’ll fly to pieces;”
or“ltßeems I never get a good night’s
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge.” Little do they dream that acid
stomach is the direct cause of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see, you can’t always judge an acid
stomach condition by the way yoqr
stomach, itself, feels.
If yon are weak, nervous, unfit—if
you are not up to your old time form
—if you lack your accustomed enthu
siasm, energy and pep—make this test
and see if it isn’t acid-stomach that is
holding you back robbing you of
your health, strength and vigor. Get
a big box of EATONIC—the wonder
ful modern medicine that so quickly
puts an acid stomach to rights. It is
in the form of pleasant tasting tablets
that you eat like a bit of candy.
EATONIC rids the stomach of excess
FATONIC:
EWBCTOR YOUR ACID-STOMACH )Y
THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.
Judging from the countless prepa
rations and treatments which are con
tinually being advertised for the pur
pose of making thin people fleshy, de
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty,
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
In modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos
phate known among druggists as bltro
phosphate, which is inexpensive and
is sold by Americus Drug Co. and most
all druggists under a guarantee of sat
isfaction or money back. By feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying
he body cells with the necessary phos
phoric food elements, bitro-phosphate
quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being
astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
soon disappear, dull eyes become
bright, and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: —Although bitro-phos
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and gen
eral weakness, it should not, owing
to its remarkable flesh-growing prop
erties, be used by anyone who does
not desire to put on flesh. adv
