I The Best Cough Syrup o
is Home-made.
I
Here’s an easy way to save $?. and r
yet have the best cough remedy ,'8
you ever tried.
You've probably heard of thi? well
known plan of making cougl> syrup
at home. But have you ever used
it? Thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, hut the way it takes hold of a
cough will soon earn it a permanent
place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 2% ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
Ojigar syrup to till up the pint. Or,
«: desired, use clarified molasses,
henev. or corn syrup, instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
never spoils, and gives you a full pint
of better cough remedy than you
could buy ready-made for three times
its cost.
Tt is really wonderful how quickly
this home-made remedy conquers a
gough—-usually in 24 hours or less,
it seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens a dry. hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost im
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, croup, bronchitis
pnd bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway pine ex
tract, and has been used for. genera
tions for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for “2 73 ounces of Pinex’’
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso
lute satisfaction or money refunded.

has been appointed by Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield to serve as the fuel
administration's representative on
the committee of railroad officials
that will have charge of the coal dis

Atlanta Saturday morning. Mr.
Yerkes, it was stated, would come to
Atlanta immediately and remain here

situation. He was a member of the
former fuel administration board.
The headquarters of the coal dis-,
tribution committee for the southern
region will be in the office of the
United States railroad administration,
in the Healey building, it was an
nounced Saturday morning.
The railroad administration offices
in Atlanta announced Saturday morn

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful in overcoming these condi
tions. The mild and healing influ
ence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record of suc
cess.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected Is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on
sale at all drug stores in bottles of
two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y., for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention The
Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal.

1 ‘Tiger of France’ Quits
Politics for View of
Pyramids Before Death
PARIS, Oct. 29.—(8y the Asso
ciated Press.) —In replying to the
' request that he stand as candidate
, for the chamber of deputies, to rep
i resent Bas Rhin (Lower Rhine, a
1 French department, which was for
i merly the district of IcAver Alsace)
Premier Clemenceau has written a
letter in which he says:
“1 am more touched than I can
say by the friendly offer that I be
the successor of Gambetta, I would
' accept with pride this high post of
’ honor had I not been warned by
too many signs that the time has
come for me to take the repose I
have not known for a long- time. The
age I had reached when the vast
joy of victory came and the state
of health which followed, oblige me
to retire from political life.”
Premier Clemenceau’s refusal to
stand as a candidate for the cham
ber of deputies is regarded as Con
clusive evidence of his unswerving
determination to retire from politi
cal life Immediately after the elec
tions. There has been much in
credulity expressed concerning the
sincerity of the premier's decision to
retire. His political foes were ear
nestly desirous and his friends were
alarmed, both refusing to believe the
announcement as official until it
was confirmed yesterday. The po
litical opponents of the premier had
caused a rumor to be widely circu
lated throughout the electioneering
campaign that M. Clemenceau’s am
bition was toward the presidency Os
the French republic despite the pre
mier’s repeated refusals to allow his
name to be put forward by his
friends. A few days ago the premier
told friends that he • desired to
travel in Egypt during the coming
winter.
“I don’t wish to die without see
ing the pyramids,” he said. “After
forty-four years of political life, my
hour of rest has come. I am thank
ful to have lived long enough to see
victory wipe out the terrible mem
ory of 1870, which had grieved me
for more than forty years.”

Apparently the only thing that in

Thomas A. Edison and Guglielmo
Marconi joined forces with John
Smith, of Oshkosh, in contributing
to the sum total of human progress.
Nikola Tesla invented a lightning
'protector, but who shall say that A
Strobel, unsung and unknown, will
not receive equal thanks from a
parced communit?' for his invention
of a means of producing alcohol?
J. Gannon, probably a parent
spurred to inventive effort, by his
experiences with 'Wakeful Willie on
and after the witching hour of mid
night, has invented a baby walker.
When Willie shrieks father pushes
a button or turns a crank and the
invention does the rest. City cave
dwellers whose roosts adjoin the
boudoir of snoring neighbors will
rise and call one G. H. Ilson blessed.
He has invented an anti-snoring de
vice. Unfortunately Commissioner
Newton’s pages do not reveal an?’
discovery of an anti-tomcat device.
Os course, the war stimulated
America’s mind, and the report con
tains innumerable inventions of de
vices for waging war. The patent
office- examined two thousand ideas
submitted for possible use by the
Allies. Two hundred of these, says
Mr. Newton, were good enough to
pass on an dmost of them were used
b?' the government.
A. J. Harman invented a. tomb

chicken beheader. Five patents were
issued for cow tail holders, whatever

a hot air register, but failed to state
whether or not it is intended for
public officials, legislatures and aft
er-dinner speakers. J. C. Hawley
ma?’ have solved the H. C. of L. by
his invention of a suit of armor.
Well-known inventors are listed in

MEXICAN REBEL
COMMANDER ON
,TEXAS BORDER
BROWNSVILLE. Texas,. Nov. 1. —
General Andrew Almazan, Mexican
rebel commander, with about seventy
of his men, today occupied the town
of Reynosa, Mexico, opposite Hidal
go, Texas, according to reports here
tonight. He met with no opposition
the few Carranza soldiers in the Rey
nosa garrison having crossing to the
Texas side.
The railroad between Matamoras
and Reynosa is inundated by flood
waters from the Rio Grande. no
trains are being operated, and it is
believed Matamoros is safe from at
tack. Reynosa is sixty miles west
of Matamoras.
REPORTS OF REBELS ACROSS
FROM HIDALGD NOT VERIFIED
McCALLEN. Tex.. Nov. I.—Re
ports*that Mexican rebels under Gen
eral Almazan had occupied Reynosa,
across the Rio Grande from Hidalgo,
Tex., and seven miles south of Mc-
Allen, were not confirmed. here to
night. American troops were rushed
to Hidalgo last night to reinforce
the border patiol there when reports
were received that rebels were ap
proaching the Hidalgo border.
Dr. Cook Discovers Oil
Well Worth Millions
Dr. Frederick S. Cook, of North
Pole fame, had some difficulties in
connection with his claim to the dis
covery of the North Pole, but he says
there is nothing wrong with the oil
'well which he has found. He is now
in New York, and though he hasn’t
the cold cash in his pocket he de
clares he is at least $1,000,000 bet
ter off for having discovered oil.
Unlike discovering the Pole, he has
tile well and the oil to prove it, he
says.
“The trouble with the North Pole,’’
he explained, “is that after you find
it there isn’t an?- pole there. You
can't even carve your initials on it.
But an oil well is entirely different.
I’d like to see someone who 'says
the oil well is not right where I say
it is.
“Three days ago I received a tele
gram saying this well was produc
ing 3,000 barrels a day. Yesterday
the news was that the production
was 3.500 barrels, and today that
ic is producing 5,000 barrels.
“The telegram from Texas said
you are now an oil millionaire,” was
suggested.
“I wouldn't take $1,000,000 in cash
lor my share of the well,’’ was the
reply. "And I want, to make clear
right here that 1 have no oil stock
or oil land or anything like that to
sell. All the stock is owned by my
self and my friends. And it won’t
be on the curb either.”
“And you figure that you are
worth well upward of $1,000,000?”
“Well. 1 haven’t got $1,000,000 in
my pocket right now, but I feel I am
just as well off as if I had."
All in Readiness for
1920 Census in January
Sam Rogers. ‘Director of census,
will begin to count noses in the
United States January 2.
“To count the people is a big
job, but I have the finest working
machine in and out of YVashington,”
says the census director.
The census bureau estimates the
count will show 110,000,000 people
as against the 1910 population of
91,872,266.
The work of gathering data will
be completed in two weeks after it
starts. The big job will be compil
ing it. Every large city in the coun
try has one or more census super
visors. New York City is -divided
into four districts. Other supervis
ors have charge of one congressional
district each.
Figures on the total population
will not be ready till fall of 1920.
The only additional information
this census will show, not included
in previous decennial censuses, will
be the amount of mortgages on
homes. In 1910 the census showed
that of the 20,255,555 homes in the
United States. 9,083,711 were owned
and 10,697,895 wer rented. Os the
homes owned, 2,931.695 were en

'ARMISTICE DAY
CELEBRATION IS '
PLAN OF LEGION
Letters will be sent out to all :
American Legion posts in Georgia,
urging the celebration of Armistice
Day, November 11. in all parts of the
state and requesting mayors of all
towns to issue proclamations naming
the day a public holiday, it was de
cided Saturday morning at a meeting
of the state executive committee of
the Legion.
The meeting was held in the office
of State Chairman Basil Stockbriuge,
on the fourth floor of the federal
building.
A letter has been written to Gov
ernor Dorsey requesting that Armis
tice Day be proclaimed a day for
public demonstration throughout the!
state. The Legion asked that the I
proclamation should request the dis- :
play of the National Flag and of ser* ■
vice flags which were psed during ■
the war. and the holding of patriotic I
meetings in all communities.
The executive committee Saturday !
f leeted Eugene Oberdorfer, Jr., and .

national executive committee from '
Georgia, and elected A. L. Hansen as i
a delegate to the national conven- I
tion at. Minneapolis, to take the place.l
of Homer Watkins, who will be un

appointment of additional alternates
to the convention by the chair was
authorized.

70,000 Blind Persons in
This Country Are Costly
There are 70,0(H) blind*persons in
the United States, and it is estimat
ed that the total annual expense of
the blind to this country approxi
mates $31,000,000. This, according to
the journal of the American Medical
association. Forty thousand of the
70,000 blind are absolutely depend- I
ent on others for support. Apart I
from the economic loss caused by I
the removal of productive workers
from the wage-earning class, there
is added a financial burden in direct
interest of the blind.
A large item is the maintenance of
special schools lor blind children, ft
takes far more to educate the blind
than the normal child. Including the
expense of institutions, library facil
ities, home teaching, the amount soon
approaches millions.
Fifteen million dollars can be
saved annually by the united efforts
of education to avoid the many ac
cidental cases of blindness in the in
dustries, by the prevention of lost
vision caused by babies' sore eyes,
measles, ulcers, scarlet fever, tra
choma, occupational diseases, wood
alcohol poison! ig, excessive use of
alcohol and tobacco and uncorrected
visual defects.

U. S. Officer Tells How American Colonel
Won the Battle of Canhgny ‘"By a SI lave”
It is a common way of speaking
to sa?’ that events in which a razor
was never thought of have been
"won by a shave.” But a razor non
chalantly applied in the heat of the
scrap at Cantigny actually- saved the
day- for the Americans, in the opin
ion of First division officers ac
quainted with the facts. All glory
is due, they- say, to Colonel Lucius
R. Holbrook, then commanding the
Seventh field artillery, the industri
ous Wielder of the soap stick and
brush.
Among the officers familiar with
the incident is Lieutenant Joseph V,
McCabe, formerly in Battery- D, of
the Seventh, who tells the story’ as
follows:
“On that historic May 28 the brunt
of the fighting for the division was
to be borne by the Twenty-eighth in
fantry. In active support of it was
to be the First battalion of the Sev
enth field artillery. In order to di
rect the artillery- action from the
best possible vantage point. Colonel
Holbrook, who at the time was also
in charge of the artillery brigade,
Went forward with the headquarters
of the infantry, right behind the first
waves of charging ‘doughboys’ that
swept over the town.
“The attack began at 7:30 o’clock
in the morning. During the day coun
ter attacks ?vere frequent and se
vere. So heavy was the third one,
early in the afternoon, that the in-
Men Buy $2,150 Worth
Os Water From Bootlegger
The bottles were dark. It looked
like whisky and it cost $2,150.
But it tasted like water —and was
water.
Victor V. Lockwood and Harlan
Crouch, of Indianapolis, paid $2,150
to Virgil Shepard, of Danville, In
diana, for ten sacks of bottled
whisky. They loaded the supposed
contraband in their automobile and
started back to Indianapolis.
Just outside of Danville they
stopped at the sjde of the road to
take a drink. They discovered that
they- had bought $2,150 worth of
water.
The men complained to the Dan
ville police that Shepard, a negro,
just out of the Indianapolis jail,
where he served a Sentence for boot
legging, represented to them that the
stuff was real firewater, purchased
by himself in Danville.
Shepard later admitted, the police
say, that he filled the brown bottles
out of Danville creek.

Lieut. Cecil H. Connolly
Lieut. Frederick H. Waterhouse
After weeks of search the fate of
two United States aviators who were
put rolling the Mexican border was
learned. Lieutenants Cecil H. Con
nolly, of San Diego, Cal., and Fred
erick B. Waterhouse, of Weiser,
Idaho, lost their way on a flight
from Yuma, Ariz., to San Diego, and
landed in Lower California. For
nineteen days they had only the wa
ter in the radiator of their airplane
to drink and little or no food. Then
the?’ were killed by Mexican fisher
men. Their bodies were recovered.
fantry officers wavered, for it was
the first time many of them had been
under such severe fire and such
strenuous counter attacks had not
been expected. Perceiving the weak
ening of morale Colonel Holbrook, an
old regular army man, remarked
casually: ,
“ ‘Well, we came over in such a |
hnrr.v 1 had no time to shave this <
morning. I think I’ll do it now.’
“Serenely, while the less experi- 1
enced infantry officers were inwardly
regarding their situation as ex
tremely hazardous, he took out his '
shaving utensils, and while shells 1
screamed overhead and the stac
cato of Hun machine gun bullets
came from a short distance off he *
removed the day’s growth of beard.
“His confidence was imparted to (
the infantry officers. They’ in turn (
fanned the courage of their men. The
fourth counter attack a few minutes
later was repulsed so swiftly and ef
fectively’ that the Germans no longer
sought to interrupt the Americans'
consolidation of their new position.
Thus was the first American offen
sive and the first all-American bat- |
tie of the world war won ‘by a
shave.’ ”

WEEVIL INFESTS
I ELBERT COUNTY,
DECLARES EXPERT
ELBERTON. Ga., Nov. I.—J. C.
I Maness, of the state department ot
I entomology, threw a bomb into the
I camp of the business men and farm
ers of Elbert county last night in an
I address to the Elberton Board of
i Trade, when he told them that in an
| inspection tour over the count?’ yes
! terday he found the boll weevil in
dangerous numbers. He had quite a
I few of the weevils with him and ex
hibited them to the members. Mr:
I Maness stated that he thought the
I weevil had come in the past few
■ weeks in such numbers because of
the continued warm weather.
Elbert count?’ made one of its
largest crops this year and appar
ently had no weevils at all during
the growing stage. Many farmers
had come to believe the weevil never
would do much damage in this sec
tion of the state, but Mr. Maness
toid them las't night that if they
have a wet season here next year
the weevils are present in such num
bers that the?- ma?- ruin the crop.
The board of trade has asked the
department of agriculture to allow
Mr. Maness to return to Elberton
Saturday, November 15, and address
the farmers of the county at the
courthouse on the weevil situation.
Japanese Would Put
Ban on Importation
Os “Picture Brides”
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. I.—Reso
lutions requesting that the practice
of importing "picture brides" from
Japan to this country be stopped
by passport restriction have been
sent by the Japanese Association of
America, representing 15,000 Japa
nese in California, to the Japanese
government and ambassador to the
United States and the state depart
ment, the association announced here
today.
The resolutions gave the average
yearl?’ number of “picture brides”
as 658 from 1912 to 1918. inclusive.
The “picture bride” plan was ex
plained as the selection of a Japa
nese girl by members of the groom’s
family in the homeland, the celebra
tion of the nuptial ceremony b?’ a
feast participated in by both houses,
and the exchanging of photographs
across the ocean between bride and
groom. '
Public Road Betterment
Will Help Land Values
Wherever public roads are im
proved Mie general tendency is for
the value of adjoining farm lands
to increase. This is a practical con
sideration* which promoters of bet
ter highways point out should not be
overlooked, for it means that money
wisely spent on the thoroughfares
is an investment paying good re
turns. Investigations by the IT. S.
department of agriculture show that
the value of land adjoining certain
highways experienced marked in
creases in value after improvements
in the roads were made. By com
parison with similar land on roads
which had not been improved it was
manifest that the betterment of the
highways was a principal factor in
the rise of land prices.
