PAMPHLETS FOR
SENATOR HOKE SMITH HAS AR¬
RANGED TO SUPPLY AGRICUL¬
TURAL BULLETINS TO HIS
CONSTITUENTS.
Georgia Statesman Is Doing All He
Can to Put Farmers’ .Bulletins
Where They Will Do Most
Good.
Washington, D. C., September.—Com¬
paratively few persons know of 'the
vast fund of information to be found
in the Partners’ Bulletins issued by
the Department of Agriculture. Yet
there is scarcely a farmer, no matter
how progressive he may be, who
would not get new ideas and new
j spiration by reading these Bulletins
j and other publications of the Depart¬
ment.
These little pamphlets cover near¬
ly four hundred subjects and are the
results of experiments and practical
operations on farms in all parts of
the country. The Depagunent care¬
fully watches all sections and studies
all the various conditions of soil and
climate. It has made a wonderfully
successful fight against the Mexican
Boll Weevil and recently issued a
new edition of the pamphlet on the
Boll Weevil. Senator Hoke Smith
.
got busy and obtained from the Sena¬
tors in many of the Northern and
Western States their quota of these
paiqplilets to be used in addition to
his own in Georgia, where the Boll
Weevil is expected to appear in the
near future. The Weevil will cost
the fanners millions of dollars and
the sooner they prepare for the fight
the less they will lose. Senator
Smith wants the farmers to send for
these Bulletins and study them.
They consist of 200 pages and are
fully illustrated. j
The Senator is doing all he can
to put the various kinds of Farmers’
Bulletins where they will do the most
good. A postal card addressed to him
will bring a Farmers' Bulletin on al¬
most any subject.
' Take poultry, for instance. There
are several bulletins on that subject.
There are several on corn raising
and seed selection, several on hog
raising, several on the dairy and but¬
ter making, economics, and others on gardening,
household renovation of
wornout soils, fertilizers, ' and hun¬
dreds of other subjects.
- As many as five or six Bulletins
can be sent to one person. The sup¬
ply is not unlimited and only those
of real interest should be requested.
In sending for them the number of
the Bulletin should be given.
The bulletins entitled “Experiment
StatioS 'Work" give i briefiy'“tne' resfilts
of experiments performed by the
State experiment stations.

Pensacola, Fla.—Detectives em¬
ployed to investigate the disappear¬
ance of a package containing $65,000,
while being sent from Pensacola to
Flomaton, have gone to New Orleans
to investigate a report that the rob¬
ber probably sailed on a steamer for
Puerto Cortez, leaving New Orleans.
It is the belief of officials that the
thief has escaped from this# city, and.
a majority of the private detectives
and special agents who have been
working on the case here have depart¬
ed for other points.
C^rtersville, Ga.—Aroused over the
alleged fact that this city is to be de¬
prived of a $2,000,000 industrial im¬
provement by the refu:*U of one man
to accept a fair amount for a small
tract of land, the people of Carters
ville and the chamber of commerce,
in particular, are taking steps by
which they hope either to bring
about a reconciliation between the
corporation and the alleged obdurate
property ow^er, or to have a law pass¬
ed to change the law which for bids
any corporation from condemning for
any purpose a mill site upon which

Atlanta, Ga.—Chief of Detectives
N. A. Lanford is planning to so rev¬
olutionize the police detective depart¬
ment that it will be one of the most
modern and efficient organizations! in
the South. In order to carry out all
his plans he will ask council for finan¬
cial aid for his department. Of the
new methods to be employed one of
the most important will be the Bertil
lon\finger print identification system.
Chief Beavers and Chief Lanford have
had the matter under consideration
ever since the former's return from a
trip east.
Fitzgerald. Ga.—An educational ral¬
ly was held in Burkhart theater. May¬
or A. B. Cook presided. The story
of the Atlanta industrial school was
told by Principal Richard D. Stinson
in an interesting and intelligent way.
The Tain prevented the large attend¬
ance that was expected from the sur¬
rounding country. A feature of the
occasion was the prepared songs by
a chorus of thirty negro men and
women. Prof. R. H. Printiss, county
superintendent of education, made a
strong and able address and was very
loudly applauded. The large congre¬
gation appeared to be greatly pleased.

Milledgeville, Ga.—Judge E. R.
Hines of this city was given quite a
surprnu by the tax assessors of the
city a few days ago when they advis¬
ed him that his assessment had been
raised. Judge Hines is unusually ac¬
curate in listing and giving in his
property and among other personal
property, he gave in his faithful pipe,
valuin git at $1. The surprise came
to him when the tax asse:*;ors an¬
nounced they had accepted his valua¬
tion on most of his other properties,
but had raised his assessment on his
pipe to a couple of dolalrs.
Bingham, Utah.—Quiet prevailed
here. The 4,500 miners who walked
out from the Utah Copper company's
property and from the adjoining
mines gathered in small groups on
the street, but only the guards on pa¬
trol indicated the existence of a
strike. Nearly fifty men were added
to Sheriff Joseph Sharp’s force:* of
deputies, the total now being 330. Of¬
ficers of the Utah Copper company re
mained silent on their plans to break
the strike, but preparations indicate
that soon will see the first steps, for
supremacy between the strikers and
the company.

Senator Smith does not wish to see
these Bulletins wasted, but what he
is anxious to do is to send them to
persons to whom they would be use¬
ful. If a Georgia man or woman is
interested in poultry he would like to
send to that person the poultry Bulle¬
tins, and if another is interested in
gardening, then the bulletins on that
subject, and the same with reference
com culture, dairying and other
matters connected with the farm.
The Senator's pet hobby is the im¬
provement of conditions on the farm
and in rural life. Nothing gives him
more pleasure than to receive a heavy
mail loaded down with requests for
Farmers' Bulletins and other publi¬
cations relating to agriculture.
Senator Smith is also making up
his seed list for next season and those
desiring to receive packages of gar¬
den seed or flower seed should drop
him a line.
Mexico City.—General Tellez ha3
been placed in command of the gov¬
ernment troops in the operations
against the rebels! in the northern
part of Mexico, succeeding General
Huerta, who has been granted tempo¬
rary leave in order to b ave his eyes

many weeks before Generau Huertat
will be able again to assume com
mand. That the scene of operations

ChauhuiHa and in the Lahuna district
about Torreon.
Monterey, Mexico.—A small body of
federals, numbering about a hundred,
sent to drive the rebels from La Ba¬
hia, ranch, were completely routed,
although it. is said only ten were kill¬
ed. The news of the defeat was
brought here by one fleeing soldier,
who said that the federals had gained
I.a Rosita Pass, and there for three
hours sustained the rebel fire and.
due to the excellent location, held the
position, losing none of their men.
The rebels then ceased firing and
withdrew, apparently abandoning
their efforts. The federals, thinking
the enemy gone, fel into ambush.

Washington.—Physicians and phi¬
lanthropists composing the American
Federation of Sex Hygiene, of which
Dr. Charles YV. Eliot, president emer¬
itus of Harvard, is president, have
produced figures showing that when it
comes to spending, the American cit*
izen is the prize performer of the
world.
In a carefully prepared list of the
things along the various "white ways"
of the nation for which money is use¬
lessly "blown,’’ the federation shows
that $8,000,000,000 a year is to be
properly classified as money ‘‘burned'’
tor things we really ought not to
have.
The wine, women and song account
heads the list with a total of some¬
thing like $5,000,000,000, and the shop¬
ping list tapers down to a paltry $13,
000,000 spent for chewing gum. My
lady’s hat costs the American citizen
$90,000,000 a year.
The purpose of publishing the fig¬
ures is to direct thought to the sex
problem and the white slave traffic.
The federation plans to make a na¬
tion-wide fight upon the white slave
traffic—a generalization by which it
includes all of the sex relationships
that are not classed among the prop¬
er. By the estimate of the federation,
it costs the American public every
year $3,000,000,000 to keep the white 1
slave traffic as an institution, includ¬
ing the hospital expenses that are
considered as being collateral to the
evil.

prohibition communities where the
law prohibits the “barefooted” article

STAMPS FOR PARCELS POST
Series Will Be Unique in Size and
Novel in Design,
Washington. — Arrangements have
been made by Postmaster General
Hitchcock lor engraving and manu¬
facturing a series of twelve stamps,
unique in size and novel in design,
for exclusive use in forwarding pack¬
ages by the new parcels post. ^Under
the law recently enacted by congress
ordinary stamps can not be used for
this purpose.
The special parcels post stamps
will be larger than the ordinary
stamps and will be so distinctive in
color and design as to avert any pos¬
sible confusion with stamps now in
use.
The new issue will be in three se¬
ries of designs. The first will illus¬
trate modern methods of transporting
mail, one stamp showing the mail car
on a railroad train, another an ocean
mail steamship, a third an automobij^
Riot When Police Halt Parade.
Lawrence, Mass.—A battle with
knives and clubs between Industrial
Workers of the World and the police,
in which two officers were stabbed,
one severely beaten and several riot
ers injured, occurred on one of the
principal business streets of Law¬
rence. The fight began when the po¬
lice tried to stop an informal parade
of textile operatives preceding a dem¬
onstration in honor of Anna Lopizzo
and John Raray, who were killed dur¬
ing the strike riots last winter.
Boy Kills His Father.
Troy, Ala.—Charlie Wilson was
shot and instantly killed here by his
16-year-old son after the former had
made an alleged attack upon the boy's
mother. Wilson is alleged to have
threatened to kill his wife for having
him arrested charged with abusing
her. The boy remonstrated with his
father and the latter is said to have
threatened to kill him. The boy step¬
ped into an adjoining room, secured
a shotgun and then blew out his fa¬
ther’s brains.
Fumigating Drove Out Stowaways,
New Orleans.—When the work of
fumigating the steamship Puebla,
from Mexican ports, begin at quaran¬
tine station here, six Chinese stowa¬
ways concealed in the hold, were
driven from cover by the fumes of the
sulphur and began pounding on the
iron hull, yelling to be let out. The
fumigation was stopped and the Chi¬
namen rescued. The stowaways were
turned over to the immigration author¬
ities pending deportation.

“Keep Your Bowels Open”—Doctors
Estimate That 75 Per Cent, of Sick¬

/ -■ ■ — *
All food eaten has some undigestible
waste, which the liver clears away day
by day. Now, a heavy or unusual diet,
or a change in water, may cause the
liver to leave a few particles, and the
next day its cleansing work is more
difficult. These particles press and
clog, and more are left over; and so
this waste accumulates, clogging stom¬
ach and intestinal canal and causing
Constipation.
This is not all. If this waste is
not eliminated, it ferments and gen¬
erates uric acid, a poison which gets
into the blood stream and is carried
along through the system to poison
it and develop disease.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT dissolves
the uric acid and passes It off in the
urine. It flushes and cleanses the
stomach and intestinal canal and re¬
lieves the liver from the pressure of
fermenting waste matter. The liver
then resumes its normal activity.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is much bet¬
ter than calomel. It causes no grip¬
ing,' nausea or vomiting, because it
acts mildly and without force. It is
the mercurial force of calomel that
nauseates and salivates. JACOBS’
LIVER SALT is pleasant and bubbling,
agreeable to everyone, and no other
liver medicine acts so quickly and so
gently. I.arge jar 25c at your druggist

Nothing More to Live For.
Without question, the Scots curler
of whom Lord Lyveden tells in Fry's
Magazine placed the proper value on
his sport.
During a recent curling-match in
Switzerland, the skip of one of the
teams, wfio happened to be a Scots¬
man, was so delighted with the accu¬
rate shot of one of his team, that he
was heard to address him in the fol¬
lowing manner: "Lie down and dee,
mon; lie down and dee. Ye'll never
lay a finer stane nor that if ye live to
be a hundred.”
Appointed Day of judgment.
A horse dealer irf an English town
had lent a horse to a solicitor, who
filled the animal through had usage.
The dealer insisted on payment, and
the lawyer, refusing cash, said he
would give a bill for the aniouut. but
it must be at a long date. The law¬
yer drew a promissory note, making
it payable on the day of judgment.
An action was raised, and the lawyer
asked the sheriff to look at the bill.
Having done so, the sheriff replied:
"This is the day of judgment. I decree
you to pay tomorrow.”
Potteries Prospering.
The output of the pottery industry
of the United States had a value of
$34,518,560 in 1911, according to the
United States geological survey chart
of clay products production, by states,
compiled by Jefferson Middletown.
The pottery collection for 1911 was
greater than for 1910, when the output
was valued at $53,784,678, the increase
being $733,882. Of the total produc¬
tion, Ohio was first, with an output
valued at $14,775,265; New Jersey sec¬
ond, with $8,401,941; West Virginia
third, with $2,880,202; New York
fourth, with $2,178,364; Pennsylvania
fifth, with $2,156,817, and Indiana
sixth, with $1,004,737. The output of
no other state had a value in excess
of a million dollars.
HARD TO SEE.
Even When the Facts About Coffee
are Plain.
It is curious how people will refuse
to believe what one can clearly see.
Tell the average man or woman that
the slow but cumulative poisonous
effect of caffeine—the alkaloid in tea
and coffee—tends to weaken the heart,
upset the nervous system and cause
indigestion, and they may laugh at
you if they don’t know the facts.
Prove it by science or by practical
demonstration In the recovery of cof¬
fee drinkers from the above condi¬
tions, and a large per cent of the hu¬
man family will shrug their shoulders,
take some drugs and—keep on drink¬
ing coffee or tea.
“Coffee never agreed with me nor
with several members of our house¬
hold,” writes a lady. “It enervates,
depresses and creates a feeling of
languor and heaviness. It was only
by leaving off coffee and using Postum
that we discovered the cause and way
out of these ills.
“The only reason, I am sure, why
Postum is not used altogether to the
exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many
persons do not know and do not seem
willing to learn the facts and how to
prepare this nutritious beverage.
There’s only one way—according to
directions—boil It fully 15 minutes.
Then it is delicious.” Name given by
