Atlanta News Letter.
Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia’s income
tax returns will be among the
highest in the south, according to
reliable information gathered here
although no official announce
ment of the figures has yet been
made. Probably few people rea
lize at this time the em harassing
predicament in which the gov
ernment would have found itself
had not the legislatures of the re
quisite number of states ratified
the income tax amendment to the
federal constitution some years
ago. In 1894 the United States
supreme court held such a tax un
constitution, by the close margin
of 5 to 4. Southern judges dis
sented on the ground that in
some moment of national peril
the decision would rise up to frus
trate the will of congress and
paralyze its arm. Congress sub
sequently passed an amendment
to the federal constitution author
izing an income tax, and the
states ratified it. In the Georgia
legislature there was a demote on
the amendment in the senate and
John M Slaton, then president of
the senate and afterwards gove-
nor, left the chair to break the
tie by casting his vote in favor
of the amendment.
Atlanta, Ga.—Girls at Elizabeth
Mather College in this city, a pri
vate school where practical effi
ciency is the keynote of all work,
have quit accepting pretty gifts
from their families and friends,
are asking for Liberty Bonds and
War Savings Stamps instead. By
this plan they have secured the
investment in war securities’ of
quite a considerable sum of mon
ey that otherwise would have
gone for extravagances. Being
sensible as well as patriotic, the
girls have entered enthusiastic
ally into the movement for sim
plicity and modesty of dress,
which the woman’s clubs of At
lanta are advocating. Likewise
they agree that the light and
careless talk between young peo
ple in modern society is demoral
izing and dangerous, and they
have put it under the ban.
Atlanta, Ga.—Here is a splen
did opportunity for experienced
men of independent means above
the draft age. The Red Cross
wants ambulance drivers to serve
on the Italian front. Men who
are interested should communi
cate with Ronald Ransom, di
rector of the bureau of personnel
of the Southern Division of the
Red Cross in this city. The Red
Cross will pay all costs of equip
ment and living expenses, as well
as transportation, unless the ap
plicant desires from patriotic mo
tives to bear his own expenses.
Consideration will be given to
men over 25 years of age who
have been rejected by the Army
for more or less technical reasons.
Atlanta, Ga.—That the work
ings of the income tax will bring
about a revolution in the ac
counting proceedings of Ameri
can business firms is predicted by
Joel Hunter, a prominent Atlan
ta auditor and chairman of the
board of examiners of certified
public accounts in Georgia. The
income tax has rendered it abso
lutely necessary for a business
concern to know exactly the
condition of its affair. This in
volves the services of certified
public accounts. Already the de
mand exceeds the supply, and
Chairman Hunter points out that
this field affords remarkably at
tractive inducements to ambiti
ous men of business capacity and
good character. The board will
hold an examination for applicants
in Atlanta on May 13, and would
like to have a large number, as it
can assure successful applicants
of immediate employment at good
salary.
WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer Terribly With Corns Be-
, cause of High Heels, But Why
Suffer Now.
Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suf
fer terribly with corns. Women
then proceed to trim these pests,
seeking relief, but they hardly
realize the terrible danger from in
fection, says the Cincinnati au
thority.
Corns can easily be lifted out
with the fingers if you will get
from any drug store a quarter of
an ounce of a drug called freezone.
This is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from
one’s feet. You simply apply a
few drops directly upon the ten
der, aching corn or callus. The
soreness is relieved at once and
soon the entire corn or callus, root
and all, lifts out without one par
ticle of pain.
This freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries in a moment.
It just shrivels up the corn with
out inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin.
Tell your wife about this.
Most Powerful of Snakes.
One of the most difficult reptiles to
capture is the regal python, also a na
tive of India, that giant snake that
measures as long as 30 feet in extreme
cases. This Immense constrictor had
in its wonderful coils the strength to
crush an ox. A 10-foot python could
shoot its head forward, strike a big
man in the chest, fell him, and crush
him bone from bone—and the pythons
caught by the snake man are twice
and sometimes three times as long.
EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It’s mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. It crash
es into sour bile like dynamite, cramp
ing and sickening you. Calomel at

odson’s Liver Tone, which is entirely
vegetable and pleasant to take and is
perfect substitute for calomel. It is
guaranteed to start your liver without
stirring you up inside, and cannot sali
vate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straight,
ens you right up and you feel great-
Give it to the children because it is per
fectly harmless and doesn’t gripe.
LOOK IT TOUR-TONGUE!
IS IT BOOM, WHITE, RIDGY?
-TOGO OLOOO HEEDS ZIHOH!
When Tour Tongue Is White and Flabby, It Is a Sign
That You Are Anemic and That Your Blood -
Needs Ziron Iron Tonic, For the Benefit
of Your Weakened System.
Look at your tongue in the mirror!
It ought to be pointed, pink, clean and firm.
If it is broad, white, coated, flabby, it is probably a sign that you are
anemic, that your blood lacks red corpuscles, that you are not in good health,
that your system needs iron to bring it up to proper condition.
When your bloc-1 needs iron, take Ziron, the new Iron Tonic, which con
tains also the hypophosphites of lime and soda and other valuable tonic ingre
dients prescribed by the best physicians for this form of trouble.
When you feel tired and miserable, lack ambition, suffer from indigestion,
rheumatic pains, gastric catarrh, depression of spirits and a general feeling
of being “under the weather”, why not try Ziron to help you back to health?
Ziron, the new compound of Iron, contains no habit-forming drugs. It is
a safe, reliable tonic remedy-—good for men, women and children.
Jlr. R. L. Poston, of Lillie, La., writes: “Some weeks ago I was suffering
with something like dumb chills. I just ached all over, my skin would feel
clammy. I ached worse fyom my knees down. I didn't rest well nights, and
my appetite wasn’t good. I was afraid I would get down in bed and so much
to do in the Spring of the year. I began to look around for something
to help me and decided to try Ziron...I had not taken one third of a bottle-
until I felt much tetter. I grew stronger, began to get hungry and did not
have any more of the chills. I think Ziron is a splendid tonic.”
SPECIAL OFFER: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggist’s
and give it a fair trial, according to directions on the bottle. If, after using
up one bottle, you find it has not benefited you, take the empty bottle back
to the druggist and he will refund what you paid him for It. We repay him,
so there is no reason why he should not repay you. This offer only applies
to the first trial bottle. 5 (ZA3T

WASTE NOTHKG
The Exceptions To the
50-50 Rule
By this time nearly everybody un
derstands the pound-for-pound or 50—
50 ruling, to the effect that when you
buy wheat flour you must purchase
at the same time an equal weight of
food products selected from the fol
lowing: corn meal, com flour, edible
corn-starch, hominy, corn grits, bariey
flour, rice, rice flour, potato flour, sweet
potato flour, oatmeal, rolled oats, soya
bean flour, feterita flour and meals,
buckwheat flour.
This is clear to all, as well as the
fact that it does not matter whether
the buyer sticks to one substitute or j
distributes his choice among several, j
so long as the total weight of substi
tutes equals that of the wheat flour.
Somewhat less well understood are
the two exceptions to the 50—50 rule.
The first of these concerns graham
flour and whole wheat flour. Both
of these, because of the process of
milling, use a larger percentage of the
wheat berry than regular wheat flour;
i e., a bushel of wheat will make a
greater weight of graham or whole
wheat flour than it does of the ordi
nary wheat flour. In other words, gra
ham and whole wheat flours are in
themselves making wheat go farther.
For that reason, a person buying a cer
tain number of pounds of graham
flour or whole wheat flour, need get
only 3-5 of that weight in substitutes.
The second exception applies to
mixed flours. When any mixed flour
contains 50 per cent or more of ingre
dients other than wheat, it may be
sold alone, for it is observing the 50—
50 rule in itself. But if this mixed
flour contains less than 50 per cent of
substitute ingredients, that difference
must be made up by other purchases.
For instance, suppose a person bought
; four pounds of mixed flour composed
of three pounds of wheat flour and
one pound substitutes. Along w-ith;
that mixed flour he would have to
j buy two pounds of some of the speei-
: fled substitutes. In so doing, he would
| be carrying out of that store, a total
! of three pounds of wheat and three of,
i substitutes. The mere fact that, part.
of the substitutes had been mixed with
: the wheat before it w as bought would
not matter at all, because the pound-
for-pound or 50—50 principle w-ould
still be operating.

Preserving and Canning
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, federal food'
administrator, says the preserving and 1
canniDg industry—with especial refer
ence to the home plants—need not be-,
come anxious about inability to ob
tain necessary sugar this year. There;
is no abundance of supply, but the;
machinery for taking care of preserv
ing and canning will be w r orked outl
and anonunced in ample time. It is|
useless and ill advised to attempt to)
lay up a little at a time in order toj
get. an accumulation.
