14. Nara la Dept Aichuis JOURNAL THE CHIEF OF POLICE OUT WITH FACTS Popular Official Was Confined to Bed Three Months. Now Hale and Hearty Since Taking Tanlac. If there is a man in Macon, who is universally known and liked, that man is Geo. Samuel Riley, the popular and efficient Chief of Police of that city, Chief Riley has been prominently identified with Macon's public affairs for a number of years, and is highly esteemed and respected for his high character and integrity by all who know him.

In an esting interview recently, Chief Riley said: "I came to Macon when I was only a 16-year-old boy from Houston county, and have been living here for 38 years. I have always enjoyed very good health and have been what you would consider a strong, healthy man. Last June I was taken very sick, and was confined to my bed for three months witha trouble that developed into pleurisy with serious complications, and I had to undergo several operations. For a while I was entirely helpless. "After getting out my right side continued to pain me.

My breath would get short, and I had terrible pains and swellings in my legs and feet, and catching pains in my hips and the small of my back. This trouble made me very nervous and I lost sleep. To tell you the truth, 1 was in mighty bad shape, and nothing in the way of medicine seemed to do me much good. "My kidneys bothered me a great deal and my whole system seemed to be filled with Uric Acid poison. For a while I had little control over my kidneys and this bothered me a great deal: Like everybody else, I got to reading about Taniac and decided to -give it a trial.

I can understand now why everybody is praising this medicine, for it helped me right from the start. The pains in my side have left. me entirely and I how have control over my kidheys: The swellings have all gone down and I feel like anew than in every Way, "Yes, sir, this Tanlac just filled me with new life and energy and I feel more like myself than in months. Everyone has noticed the wonderful improvement in my condition, and I am only too glad to say a good word for Tanlac. I had taken medicines ever since I was taken sick and nothing seemed to help me, but two bottles of Tanlac have put me on my feet and I feel like myself again." Tanlac is sold by City macy, Enterprise; Cotton Mills, Stonewall; City Drug Store, Quitman; The DeSoto Drug DeSoto; John R.

Y. April 28, 1917 TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE FOR NASTY CALOMEL Starts your liver without making you sick and can not salivate. Every druggist in town -your druggist and everybody's druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place.

"Calomel is dangerous and people it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results," said a prominent local druggist. Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle costs 50 cents, and if it fails to give. easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults.

Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day's work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of vigor and ambition. Adv BLUFFS AND "PLAYS DEAD." But There's a Fatal Flaw In the Hog Nosed Snake's Acting.

When you find a hog nosed snake flattened out upon the soil in his anxiety to absorb all the sunshine that he can he immediately a policy of "bluff." He first inflates his body by a deep draft of air. Then he flattens his head and expands his neck to three. times its proper width. Next he strikes angrily toward the intruder and hisses with malignant fury. The average pedestrian naturally retreats with a feeling of gratitude for the danger signals so unmistakably imprinted by a kindly Providence upon the deadly members of the reptile race.

A good field naturalist will quietly advance his bare hand to the reptile's head, because he knows that this snake can neither be induced to give a poisonous bite nor a bite of any kind. Seeing that the observer cannot be intimidated, the snake then opens his jaws and acts as if he had been injured. Convulsive spasms ripple down his spine. He writhes and twists as if transported by the agonies of death, and, turning over on his back, the last convulsion dies away along the tail. Now, nothing in nature looks more dead than a snake lying with the ivory white of his belly plates turned upward to the sky, and the hog nosed snake will simulate death so patiently that you may carry him by the tail or hang his body on a fence and he will swing in the wind and give no sign of life for an hour or more.

But this clever acting has one fatal flaw. If you place him' on the ground with the belly downward he will twist over on his back again. He has such a fixed idea that "belly plates skyward" is the correct pose for a serpent's corpse that, although supposed to be lifeless, he will turn over on his back a dozen times if you as perseveringly persist in laying him on his crawling surface. His zeal for the perfection of mimicry blinds him to the obvious truth that dead snakes stay where they are put. First Letter Carriers.

It is not clear that the letter carriers were regularly employed before 1753, when tradition tells us that Benjamin Franklin, the new postmaster general, employed them in Philadelphia and possibly in New York. The earliest evidence we have is of 1762, when the Philadelphia postmaster advertised that his "boy" had run away and that patrons must call for their letters at the postoffice. The Postal Journal of Hugh Finlay tells us that Boston had no letter carrier in 1773. Of New York he says that "soon after the arrival of a mail the letters are quickly delivered by a runner, which means messenger or letter carrier. Three days passed without any No.

Advice to the Young Man Who Is Just Starting Out In Life. Among thrift arguments none is stronger than this: It pays to save and buy a home. We say that buying a home on the installment plan is one of the justifiable debt burdens you ought to shoulder. Let me illustrate: In the first five years of your working life you can save $1,000. About that time you may reasonably expect to be narried, You know that it will be cheaper to live in your own home than to pay rent.

But $1,000 won't buy much of a home. If you had $3,000 you know where you could get one that you want. Very well; borrow the $3,000. and make the purchase. Borrow on condition that you are to pay the loan off in monthly installments.

Move into the home and begin to make it attractive. Start a garden, plant trees, keep the house painted and looking like the home of a prosperous man. It will increase in value if you do. Before you know it the borrowed money will be repaid. There is, however, a which must be thought of.

You may die before the mortgage i is paid off. What then? It is going to leave a knotty problem to your widow. She may be able to carry it on and retain the home. Cold statistics, however, show that she is more likely to lose the home. At this point in your contemplation of the future you ought to tisten to the arguments of the life insurance companies.

They are worth considering too. A good company will tell you that when you undertake to buy the home on the terms I have suggested you ought to take out a life policy for $3,000. If you are normally healthy and around thirty years old this policy will cost you about $60 a a month. Your problem then is: Can you attord to pay $5 a month in addition to the payments on the mortgage? In case you died before the house is paid for the money from the insurance company would save the home for your family. That is plain.

But suppose you live on to complete the payments? After the home is your own and the mortgage is satisfied you still have $3,000 of insurance on your life and an obligation to go on paying $5 a month. The longer you hold the policy the more valuable it will be as a resource against financial adversity. You can borrow against it; you can surrender it for a cash value; you can get a fair proportion of paid up insurance. That is a time when you can well afford to talk John M. Oskison in Chicago News.

Highest and Lowest States. Almost everybody knows which is the smallest and which is the largest state in the Union, but how know which is the lowest and which is the highest? According to the measurements and calculations made by the United States geological survey, Delaware is the lowest state, its elevation above sea level averaging only sixty feet. Colorado is the highest, averaging 6,800 feet above the sea, while Wyoming is a close second, only 100 feet lower than Colorado. In minimum elevation Florida and Louisiana dispute for second place after Delaware, their average elevation being for each 100 feet. Taking the United States as a whole, our country lies slightly above the average elevation of the land of the globe.

SHOPPING IN. TOKYO. One Must Remove or Cover His Shoes When Entering the Store. "Across from the fish market in Tokyo, and untouched by the piscatorial scent which pervades it, rises the modern building of the Mitsukoshi department store," writes Maynard Owen Williams in an article on Japan in the Christian Herald. "If I could describe it in some vague, impersonal way I would do it, but this modern store is so different from anything else in Japan that any one would know the store I described.

"But the Mitsukoshi store is worthy of description. The big sight of the store to me is the spotless matting that covers every floor. The floor is never trodden by the filthy shoe of outdoors. The Japanese put on light slippers and remove their geta or clogs, and the foreigners have foot coverings put on over their shoes, just as though they were visiting the mosque of Omar or Saladin's tomb. From the roof one can see the great city spread out on all sides, and a constant stream of visitors use the rapid elevators that carry them to the sixth floor.

"In the roof garden, where a fountain plays and an orchestra tries to, where there is an Inari shrine and an American soda fountain, one can sit and listen to the band and eat ice cream that is fairly good or drink soda water that reminds you of Socrates, Cleopatra and Lucrezia Borgia. A conservatory attracts many who buy the seeds and potted plants, and there is a ceremonial tea room where notable guests are entertained. You can have a good photograph taken in the sky high gallery and get the pictures an hour later, when you have finished the tour of the store. Like the raw materials in a modern factory, we were lifted to the top by an elevator and descended by gravity. "On the fifth floor some kind of an art exhibit is always in progress.

Mail chutes convey the letters from the office to the big box on the ground floor. Toys in the thousand bright colors of Japan make the next floor a Lilliputian paradise, and there is a big restaurant. Some rooms are fitted up as models in the Japanese style and some in the foreign style, which doubles the expenses of the man who would be cosmopolitan in his tastes." The Woman Who Owned Niagara. Dr. Farquharson, ex-M.

in his "Recollections" refers amusingly to his once having said in the house of commons that he owned a mountain. Claudius Clear in the British Weekly caps that story. His friend George Forbes, F. R. who had the chief part in harnessing Niagara, tells that once a Miss Porter was traveling in Europe and at the table d'hote her neighbor said, "Oh, if you are an American I suppose you have seen Niagara falls." She turned to inquirer, and, fixing him with her eyes, she said, "I own them!" That was an answer indeed.

The Porter family long owned most of the property about Gazette. erbs, says "the coneys are but feeble folk, yet they make their house in the rocks." Coneys are yet found on the Lebanon and in the Jordan and Dead sea valleys. The coney is about the size of the domestic cat, has long hair, a short tail, round ears and chews the cud. A Thoughtful Office Boy. The office boy, says a writer in the London Sketch, looked at the persistent lady artist, who calls six times a week, and said firmly: "The editor's still engaged." "Tell him that doesn't matter.

I don't want to marry him." "I haven't the heart to tell him, miss. He's had several disappointments today." Dog Saves His Mistress. Norwalk. Ore. -A pet collie dog probably saved Mrs.

Philip Loretz from serious injury the other day when an enraged dehorned cow, owned by Mrs. Charles Antrim, a neighbor, charged at Mrs. Loretz, knocked her down and butted her fiercely as she law on the ground. The dog arrived on the scene and, springing at the enraged cow, fastened his teeth in the tender desh of her nose, at the same time pulling her away from the prostrate woman. The cow gave ground before the dog's attack, and Mrs.

Loretz was able to regain her feet and reach a place of safety. For Weak Women In use for over 40 years! Thousands of voluntary letters from women, telling of the good Cardui has done them.
