SHAW’S DEBATE PROPOSAL
APPROVED BY H. H. DEAN.
Wants no Contributions as He. is
Paying Own Expenses
Atlanta, Ga., May 13t'n—H.
H. DeAnhas written a reply to
Enunet Shaw’s proposal of joint
debate between himself, Harris,
Howard and Dean, in which
Dean hays:
“I have received your favor
of May 9th, addressed to Messrs
W. J. Harris, W. S. Howard and
myself, suggesting tnat. in order
to conserve the time of the peo
ple of Georgia, especially the
farmers, a joint discussion be
agreed upon over the state in
stead of having so many hepa-
rate speeches.
“I agree with you fully and
haveexausted every effort to get
Messrs Hams and Howard to
agree. I have Mr. Hardwick’s
letter agreeing to it as soon as
^Congress adjourns, but have
been unable to get Messrs Har-
risandris and Howard to agree
under any conditinos so far."
Referring to the passags be
tween others on campaign ex
penses he says: “Mr. Howard,
in a direct quehtioR, ‘How many
>*)f the Government contractors
or members of contracting com
panies hav? contributed to your
campaign?* admitted that he
had already received $4,255 in a
qeriod of twelve days, nearly
$400 per day up to the time of
his first speech, but did n.ot give
the names of any of the contrib
utors.
,y [ suppose at this rate they
each wil lhave received enough
by the midde of the summer to
buy up the election. Who will
own them after the election, the
people or their campaign financ
iers?
“I am going to paymy own ex
penses and will not accept any
contribution from any source. If
I cannot get the office without
buying it I do not want it. The
people of Feorgia will not stand
for a corrupt ballot.”
Duval County, Florida
“Drys” Are Winners
Carry City of Jacksonville by Major
ity of 575 Voters, Are Assured
of County. *
Jacksonville, Fla., May 14.—In
the wet or dry election held in
Duval county today the eleven
city wards gave a majority of 575
for the drys, which means that the
county will go dry, as the smaller
country precincts cannot over
come this lead.
THE
NEWSPAPERS
The relation of the newspapers
of the country to the Liberty Loan
and other government efforts is
expressed in the telegram of Sec
retary McAdoo to the editors as
sembled in New York last week
in attendance on the meeting of
American Newspaper Publishers’
Association.
“Will you be good enough to
express to the members of the
American Newspaper Publisher’s
Association, now in session, my
sincere and warm appreciation
of the great service they have
rendered to their country by
their consistent, unselfish, and pa
tient support of the successive
Liberty Loan, which have been
offered by the Treosury Depart
ment.
“These loans could not have
succeeded without the support of
the newspapers, and it gives me
great pleasure to make this ac
knowledgement. An enlightened
public opinion is the chief asset
. of a democracy. By keeping the
people of America informed on
public events and transmitting
word of the financial and other
needs of the Government, the
American newspapers have per
formed a public and incalculable
service to the nation. I know
that the service will be continued
and that the newspapers will do
their full share in assisting Amer
ica to win this war for democracy
and justice.”
The Pneumonia Season.
The cold, damp weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for
the pneumonia germ. Now is the
time to be careful. Pneumonia often
results from a cold. The quicker a
cold is gotten rid of the less the
danger. As soon as the first indica
tion of a cold appears take Chamber
lain’s .-Cough Remedy. As to the
value of this ’ preparation, ask any
one who has used It.
RED CROSS WAR FUND
DRIVE SET FOR MAY 20
In order not to detract even slightly
from the forthcoming Liberty Loan
campaign, the War Council of the
American Red Cross has postponed
the campaign to raise the second War
Relief fund of $100,000,000 to the week
of May 20 from the week of May 6th,
as was originally intended, it was an
nounced in Washington today. '
This action fixes the date of the sec
ond Red Cross campaign eleven months
after the first, which was started on
June 18, 1917. The War Council had
been appointed by President Wilson
only five weeks prior to the beginning
of this campaign, so that its first great
task was to provide meanp for carry
ing on relief work during the war on
a sca'e commensurate with the mili
tary operations.
More than $100,000,000 was contrib
uted in response to the first call for
financial aid and contributions plus
interest brought the total receipts
from tbe first drive up to $106,099,527.
Of this amount, $17,006,121 was re
funded to Red Cross Chapters for lo
cal relief 'work. Of the balance, $77,-
721,918 has been appropriated, leaving
a balance of $10,371,217 available for
appropriation. Prance has received
appropriations amounting to more than
thirty millions. During the week pre
ceding Christmas the Red Cross con
ducted a drive which re
sulted in the enrollment of approxi
mately 22,060.«ro new ffigttbSTT. -ruts

Pageantry.
Daisies and buttercups gave way to
brown, waving grasses, tinged with
the warm-red sorrel; the waving grass
es are swept away and the meadows
lie like emeralds set iD the bushy
hedgerows; the .tawny-tipped corn be
gins to bow with the weight of the full
ear; the reapers are bending amongst
it and it soon stands in sheaves; then,
presently, the patches of yellow stub
ble lie side by side with streaks of
dark red earth, which the plow is
turning up in preparation for the Dew-
threshed seed.—George Eliot.

USE LESS WHEAT.
The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
us for breadstuffs — demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet
In the meantime America’s
meat supply has been greatly
Increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each In
stead of 203 pounds—tbe nor
mal.
The United States Food Ad
ministration, endeavoring to ad
just tbe international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week—
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering its food coDserva-
lion program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
borne and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, both in overseas shipping
and in America’s overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised of each
change in the developing situa
tion that they may know defi
nitely the part their food sac
rifices play in the world war.
HELP IN 50-50

SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY.
\ New Wheat Saving Program Demand
ed — Allied Food Shortage In
creases—America Must
Feed Fighters.
! Explaining the United States Food
Administration's new 50-50 wheat reg
ulations is a war time task tbe Ameri
can grocer has gladly shouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat sav
ing pledge cards, that they have sign
ed, agreeing 19 carry out Lite new
wheat program.
Each flour customer is now retjuir-
gjJ to buy one pound of eereal substi
tute for every pound of wheat-flour.
The substitute may be of one kind or
assorted. This 50-50 sale is made by
weight SStJ pot by value of the com-
jnoSltieB. There fs, pf course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat flour at all,
A wide variety Of substitutes ha$
been provided; Cornmeal, corn flour,
edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits,
■barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour, soya bean flour, Feterita flour
and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat flour con-
stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either of these commodi
ties may be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat flour—
that Is, five pounds of graham or
wheat flonr counts the same as three
pounds of the nsual wheat flour.
Mixed flours form another excep
tion. Where any flour contains 60
per cent or less of wheat It may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
the flour is mixed at the rate of 60
per cent, wheat and 40 per cent of
other Ingredients an additional 20 per
cent of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity is shown specially
prepared infant’s and invalid’s food
containing flour may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted is a fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for a time.
For instance, if a customer wishes to
buy a 24 pound sack of flonr the nec
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn
grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck
wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, 1 pound;
hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3
pounds.
None of the substitutes should b«
considered as a waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
each. Tbe eight pounds of corn meat
can be made into cornbread, corn muf
fins or used iD the baking of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch Is useful in making cus
tard, thickening gravy or may lie used
in cake baking. Corn grits fried like
musli forms a delicious dish, or it tnay
be used Id baking corn bread. Roiled
oats-are used largely as breakfast por
ridge or in oatmeal cookies or ii
making muffins.
Buckwheat flour may be used In
bread making, forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat Hour, but is especially choice in
the form of buckwheat cakes for
breakfast.
With 11 wheatless meals needed
each week in America to provide
enough wheat for the allies, the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.
WILL YOU BE ONE?
Thousands of thoughtless people neglect colds every winter.
A cough follows; they get rundown—then stubborn sickness set* in.
Sickness can be prevented easier than it can be cured and if you
will give your system the benefit of a few bottles of
you will find your whole system strengthened. It will fortify your lungs
<&, and throat and enrich your blood against rheumatism. It is
powerful concentrated nourishment without alcohol or opiates.

I THANK YOU
One Million Sweaters
For Army and Navy
The American Red Cross Is the
greatest volunteer organization that
the world has ever seen. It was
announced by one of tbe high officials
in Washington that millions of people
are and have been for some months
working six days a week without a dol
lar’s pay. This includes the members
of the local chapters and all other em
ployees in this country and abroad.
One significant item in this is the fact
that the Red Cross has given tbe
army and navy over 1,000.000 sweaters
for the hoys in the service, of which
over 500,000 were made by the mem
bers of the local chapters. Von who
know the difficulty of making sweat
ers can estimate the character of the
work and the self sacrifice that the
women of America are making to fur
ther the Red Cross’ mission of mercy
CARDINAL GIBBONS’
MESSAGE
There is in these times a rent
able ocean of sorrow and suffer
ing engulfing millions of souls,
and a society With the member
ship and resources of the Red
Cross, actuated as it is by Chris
tian primfiples, can best under
take the tremendous burden of
extending intelligent and efficient
relief. In particular I approve
of the Red Cross activities as
they are directed towards sup
porting the courage and caring
for the injuries of our young sol
diers and sailors, it is my earn
est hope that all of our people
will cheerfully and generously co
operate with the Red Cross com
mittee in their efforts towards
reaping the fullest measure of
charity that it may be possible
for the society to attuin.

TO PALE PEOPLE—
YOUR BLOOD MAY BE
STARVING FOR IRON!
If Your Blood Needs Iron, It Needs ZIRON, the New
Compound of Iron, Which Acts as a Strength
ening Tonic, Enriching the Blood and
Building up the System.
When your blood lacks the proper proportion oi red corpuscles to give your
complexion the “rosy hue of health” and ycur complexion is pale, “pasty-look
ing”, perhaps even greenish-tinged, you are probably of an anemic or chlorotic
! nature, and your blood needs Ziron, to bring back the rich, red flush of health.
Ziron the new compound cf iron, the hypophesphites of lime and soda, and
! other tonic, strengthening ingredients, has been found cf great value in conditions
j of simple anemia, chlorosis, debility, nervousness, lack of ambition, loss cf appe
tite, dyspepsia, etc. It is a valuable reconstructive tonic, in cases of weakness,
| and helps build up the constitution after severe illness.
Mrs. Mae Belle Perkins, of Adairsville, Ga., writes: “About two months ago
| 1 got to feeling badly. ATy back hurt me badly, and my legs and arms hurt too,
; and I didn’t have any appetite at ali to eat. About two weeks ago I commenced
I taking Ziron, according to directions on the bottle ... By the lime 1 had taken the
j medicine for a week, I could see it was doing me good. I had been weak and
nervous, and it made me feel stronger, and I’m not a bit nervous now. My bad: is j
all right, and my arms and legs do not ache. And my appetite is good again.
Before I started using Ziron I wouldn’t rest at night, I was so tired feeling and
felt worn out. I have used nearly the whole bottle and now 1 sleep tine every
night. It sure is a fine medicine, and I am glad I tried it.”
Ziron is non-alcoholic, contains no habit-forming drugs, acts gently, has no bad
after-effects, is good for men, women and children. It is a medicine of genuine
merit, composed of ingredients prescribed by eminent physicians. Try it.
