Rupture Kills
7,000 Annually
Seven thousand persons each year are laid
away—the burial certificate being marked
“Rupture.” Why? Because the unfortun
ate ones had neglected themselves or had
been merely taking care of the sign (swell
ing) of the affliction and paying no atten
tion to the cause. What are you doing?
Are you neglecting yourself by wearing a
truss, appliance, or whatever name you
choose to call it? At best, the truss is
only a makeshift—a false prop against a
collapsing wall—and cannot be expected to
act as more than a mere mechanical sup
port. The binding pressure retards blood
circulation, thus robbing the weakened
muscles of that which they need most —
nourishment.
But science has found away, and every
truss, appliance, or whatever name you

TO ME UNDER
miLIW COURT
Under a ruling by Judge L. F.
McClelland Friday morning in the
municipal court, landlords who have
no written or oral contracts with
their tenants cannot eject them or
raise their rents except at the ex
piration of a year, nor can a tenant,
except with the landlord’s permis
sion, move out except at the expira
tion of a year.
Os course, it was pointed out, ejec
tion proceedings for non-payment of
rent or other causes recognized by
law, could be taken at any time by
a landlord.
The ruling, which came as a sur
prise to many landlords who inter
preted the law to mean that they
could give sixty days’ notice at any
time of a raise in rent or an ejection,
is expected to result in a number of
suits being filed by tenants who, in
the absence of a contract, had their
rents raised or were requested to
Vacate before their year was out.
The ruling was made in the case
of Mrs. E. P. Montgomery vs. W. S.
Allen, one of her tenants living at 39
Vedado way, who refused to pay an
increase in rent and who refused to
move out. Mrs. Montgomery was
represented by Attorney Paul S. Eth
ridge and Mr. Allen by Attorney Carl
Lancaster.

AMERICAN FARMER
LEADS WORLD IN
CROP PRODUCTION
WASHINGTON, Dec. C—The Amer
ican farmer leads the world in in
dividual production of crops, Secre
tary Houston, of the department of
agriculture, asserted today in his. an
nual report. While countries such as
Belgium, under intensive farming,
get a higher acreage yield, he said,
taking both acreage and yield per
acre into account, the American ag
riculturist produces two and a. half
times as much as his Belgian and
German rivals, 2.3 times as much as
the British farmer, 3.2 times as much
as the French, and more than six
times as much as the Italian.
The result of this and of the Amer
ican farmer’s war work is shown in
the 1919 American crop production,
placed at three times greater in val
ue than the average annual output
during the five-year period preceding
the European war. The aggregate
value of all crops this year is placed
at $15,873,000,000, as compared to
$14,222,000,000 in 1918 and an average
of $5,829,000,000 during the five-year
period.
Live stock on farms this year was
figured at $8,830,000,000, as against
$8,284,000,000 in 1918.
The average yield for all crops for
the decade ending in 1918 is about 16
per cent greater than for the average
for the decade ending with 1890, the
report said. The average rate of in
crease for the past twenty-five years
is about one-half of one per cent a
year.
1919 Estimates
Estimates in the report put the
1919 wheat production at 918,471,000
bushels and corn at 2,910,250,000
bushels. Cotton is expected to reach
10,696,000 bales and tobacco 1,316,-
553,000 pounds.
“The farmers of the nation in 1919
planted an acreage in leading cereals
greater by 33,000,000 than the pre
war annual average which, it is esti
mated, will yield 635,000,000 more
than the pre-war average,” Mr. Hous
ton said of war work on farms. “They
increased the number of milch cows
over 1914 by 2,700,000, of other cat
tle by 8,500,000, of swine by 16,700,-
000 and of horses and mules by 1,-
000,000, or a total of 28,900.000.
“The planting operations of the
year began before the fighting ceas
ed and the call was still for more
wheat. The department suggested a
maximum fall acreage of 47,206,000
acres, an increase of 12 per cent over
1918. There was actually planted
49,261,000, the largest acreage in the
nation’s history, 9,960,000 acres more
than in 1918.
“The spring wheat acreage was 22,-
593,000, while the winter and spring
plantings combined amounted to 71,-
854,000 acres, or 7,200,000 more than
the preceding record.
“It is estimated that the yield will
exceed that of 1918 by 1,000,000 bush
els and will be the nation’s second
record wheat crop. The estimated
corn crop of 2,910,000,000 bushels will
be 300,000,000 greater than that of
1918.”
’ Further Expansion Possible
The nation can further expand its
output of commodities by culitvafing
unused tillable land, estimated at
more than 60 per cent of the total,
the report states. Expansion is lim
ited, however, by the supply of cap
ital and labor.
No step to promote farmers’ co
operative associations along the right
lines, should ba omitted, the secreta
ry said. It is estimated that these
organizations market annually ap
proximately. $1,500,000,000 worth of
commodities.
Included in Mr. Houston’s recom
mendations were the following:
The building up, primarily under
state law, of a system of personal
credit unions, for farmers whose fi
nancial status and operations make it
difficult to secure accommodations
through the ordinary channels; ex
pansion of facilities ’or aiding in
marketing, especially extension of
the market news and food products
inspection services; continuation of
federal participation in road building
through an appropriation of $100,000,-
000 for each of the next four years;
regulation and control of stockyards
and packing houses; federal legisla
tion to protect consumers against
adulterated feeds and fertilizers; in
creased state support for rural
schools and more definite instruction
as to rural problems and conditions;
legislation to improve rural sanitary
conditions and provide hospital and
medical facilities.

CONGRESS MOT
STAMPEDE WILSON
INTO MEXICAN WAR
BY DAVID LAWBENCE
(Copyright, 1019, for The Atlanta Journal.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. —There
isn’t going to be any armed interven
tion in Mexico. Congress may pass
resolutions asking for severance of
diplomatic relations and even au
thorize the use of military and naval
forces, but under the constitution of
the United States, it remains for the
president to determine when and how
the best interests of the countrj r
will be served in dealing with for
eign afairs.
Entirely apart from the personal
conference with the president, de
manded by the senate for two of its
members in order that Mr. Wilson
might have the views of the senate
isc the question of entering upon a
new war at this time. What Sena
tor Fall of New Mexico may think
about the president’s attitude or
what other political opponents may
say is one thing, but what is actual
ly going to happen is quite another.
The fact is that there is much
more concern in executive quarters
over the shutting down of American
industries, and the throwing out of
employment of thousands of men
because of the coal strike than
there is over embarking on a cam
paign of bloodshed against 15,000,000
helpless people below the Rio Grande.
Efforts to make the public believe
that it will take a handful of men
to “clean-up” Mexico are not de
ceiving the army officers as to the
size of the job. The American army
is more or less shattered. Demobili
zation has been precipitate. Con
gress has cut appropriations right
and left. The American air service
has gone to pieces. The regular army
is strategically distributed to assist
governors of states in handling in
dustrial disturbances. Calls for vol
unteers would have to be made and
new appropriations and taxes decided
upon.
But as said above, there is not go
ing to be any intervention just now.
Indeed, theer is no reason to suppose
that congress really wants war. Os
course, the president’s refusal to in
tervene in Mexico would enable the
proponents of intervention to place
the blame for inaction squarely on
him, though talks with individual
members of congress lead to the sus
picion that if the president suddenly
put the matter up to congress, that
branch of the government would hesi
tate to take the responsibility.
It will be noted that notwithstand
ing all the talk of armed interven
tion, the further distance that con
gress seems willing to go is a simple
withdrawal of recognition and the
severance of diplomatic relations.
These steps have been under consid
eration at the department of state
anyway, and are not understood to be
objectionable to the president.
But the controversy over Mexico
at this time is really a tempest in
a teapot. It is a side affair. The
real question that has been indirect
ly raised by congress is whether or
not the president is incapable of per
forming public duties.
There is no doubt that the Mex
ican sitution has irritated the pres
ident from time to time, there is
no doubt that at this time he shares
the outraged feelings of the senate
over the policies of Mexico in the
Jenkins case, but there were things
happening during the war with Ger
many which deserved armed inter
vention much more than today and
it Was deqmed inexpedient for many
reasons to indulge in a war below
the Rio Grande.
The condition is not much chang
ed. International affairs are in a
state of confusion, due to the fail
ure of the senate to give the na
tion a peace treaty and to help Eu
rope to its feet. Germany is hesi
tating to approve the protocol sub
mitted by the allies, thinking the
senate action is in her interest. Do
mestic affairs inside the United
States are unsettled. President Wil
son may be bitterly criticized for
failure to intervene in Mexico at
this time, but he isn’t going to in
volve the cojmtry in any more wars
at present at least until America’s
own affairs are settled.
Duckworth Convicted
Os Murdering Wife
AMERICUS, Ga—A traverse jury
in Sumter superior court here
has returned a verdict of guilty
in the case of the state vesus Sam G.
Duckworth, charged with murder.
The verdict carried with it arecom
mendation for mercy, which means
that Duckworth must serve a lite
sentence upon the chaingang.
Duckworth, who is a white
farmer, was accused of killing
Pearl Duckworth, his wife, and
throwing her body into the family
well near their home seven miles
from Americus. The woman’s throat
was cut from ear to ear, and Duck
worth’s knife was found, blood-stain
ed, near the well.
Following his arrest, he confessed
his guilt, implicating Sidney Wars,
a negro, whom he declared helped
him throw the body into the well.
Subsequently Duckworth denied this
confession, and when placed on trial
offered an alibi as his defense. Ware,
the negro accused by Duckworth ot
complicity in the murder, denies all
knowledge of the homicide.
Stepmother Become
Bride of Soldier Son
SCRANTON, Pa.—Marriage Li
cense Clerk Tallie Griffiths had the
most unusual experience of his ca
reer when James Calguire, 28, ap
plied for a license to wed his step
mother, Josephine Calguire, 24.
Clerk Griffiths, never having
heard of such a proceeding, called in
the county solicitor and consulted
him before he granted the license.
There was no legal act to prevent
such a marriage, the solicitor de
clared, and the license was granted.
The wedding is to take place Sun
day.
Calguire’s father, it developed dur
ing the quizzing the couple were put
through, married Josephine Ezzio, a
nineteen-year-old girl, five y'ears
ago. He was 27 years the senior of
his second wife. Calguire died last
February while his oldest son,
James, was in France with the
American army.
Upon the son’s return a short time
ago he found his step-mother with
four small children. He fell in love
with her and she agreed to become
his wife.
Injunction Is Granted

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. s.—Federal

The injunction was asked by five

permit removal from bond and sale
of whisky in the easteifi district of
Missouri. .
G. 0. P. FEARFUL
OF DEMOCRATIC
SENATE CONTROL
WASHINGTON, Dec.' 6.—A Chance
that the Democratic party may regain
control of the senate at next year’s
election is one of the possibilities
to be considered by the Republican
national committee when it meets
here next Wednesday.
Republicans now have a bare ma
jority of two votes so that a loss
of one seat would give both parties
equal strength. Democratic senators
are hopeful that they will hold their
seventeen of the thirty-two seats to
be voted on next fall, and that they
will add the seats now held by Sen
ators Spencer, of Missouri, and Hard
ing of Ohio, to the list. Republicans,
however, assert there is no chance of
losing their majority and that if any
seats are lost to the Democrats,
enough others will be gained to off
set them.
The possibility that Senator New
berry, of Michigan, who is now un
der indictment for alleged election
fraud, may be ousted and his seat
taken by Henry Ford, Democrat, also
gives hope to a few of the minority
party.
Senator Spencer is the first Re
publican to be elected to the senate
by Missouri for years and Demo
crats in that state are said to be
planning a desperate effort to re
cover the seat. Ex-Speaker Champ
Clark, Governor Gardner, Assistant
Secretary of State Long;, and David
R. Francis, former ambassador to
Russia, are mentioned among pos
sible Democratic? nominees to op
pose Senator Spencer in case he is
renominated.
Ohio now has one Democratic sen
ator, Atlee Pomerene. It was said
here that Warren G. Harding, the
present Republican senator from that
state would have a good chance should
he run again, but the expectation Is
that he will be a candidate for the
presidential nomination and should
he be successful he would, of course,
be eliminated from the senatorial
race. Who would be the likely Re
publican nominee in this event was
not known here.
Republicans cannot see any possi
bility of losing their control of the
senate, provided they devote suf
ficient attention to doubtful states.
Among the states they are hopeful
of gaining senate seats in are Ore
gon, South Dakota, California, Mary
land and Colorado.
Elections will be held for the fol
lowing Republican senate seats next
year: Brandegee, Connecticut; Cum
mins, Iowa; Curtis, Kansas; Dilling
ham, Vermont; Gronna, North Da
kota; Harding, Ohio; Jones, Wash
ington; Lenroot, Wisconsin; Moses,
New Hampshire; Penrose, Pennsyl
vania; Sherman, Illinois; Smoot.
Utah; Spencer, Missouri; Wadsworth,
New York, and Watson, Indiana.
Seats now held by the following
Democratic senators must also be
filled: Beckham, Kentucky; Cham
berlain, Oregon; Fletcher, Florida;
Gay, Louisiana; Gore, Oklahoma;
Henderson, Nevada; Johnson, South
Dakota; Kirby, Arkansas; Nugent,
Idaho; Overman North Carolina;
Phelan, California; Smith, Arizona;
Smith, Georgia; Smith, Maryland;
Smith, South Carolina; Thomas, Colo
rado, and Underwood, Alabama.

MEXICMCUSTODY
WASHINGTON. —The Mexican em
bassy notified the state department
Friday that Amreican Consular
Agent William O. Jenkins, at Puebla,
Mexico, had been released from cus
tody.
xt was announced at the state de
partment that the advices from the
embassy said Jenkins had been lib
erated from the penitentiary,
where he had been held pend
ing trial on charges of giving false
Information regarding his abduction
by Mexican bandits in October.
The embassy’s dispatch reached
the state department coincident with
the arrival at the White House of
Senators Fall and Hitchcock, who
were instructed by the senate for
eign delations I committee to discuss
with the president pending resolu
tions nroposing that the president be

Text of Announcement
The announcement by the state de
partment follows:
“The release of William O. Jen
kins, the American consular agent
at Puebla, Mexico, was reported late
this afternoon from the American
embassy at Mexico City.”
While the release of Jenkins serv
ed to relieve in a measure the ten
sion here on the Mexican situation,
officials have explained the Jenkins
case was only an incident in the
Mexican situation. Senators regard
the charges of Senator Fall that the
Mexican ambassador and consuls in
the United States have spread “red”
propaganda as the more serious.
Intervention in Mexico is opposed
by Jenkins, who, in a letter received
today by Representative Davis, of
Tennessee, said “it ought to be pos
sible to solve the Mexican problem
without actual intervention.”
Request that Jenkins be released
was renewed by the state department
in a sharp note dispatched last Sun
day, but no reply to this communi
cation has been received.
News of Jenkins’ release was com
municated to the White House by
the state department while the presi
dent was conferring with Senators
Hitchcock and Fall.
Dr. Grayson took the message di
rectly to the president and his vis
itors.
The state department’s advices
gave no details and first news that
the release was ordered by the judge
at Puebla was contained in Assq
ciated Press dispatches from Mex
ico City.
President M r ilson reserved judg
ment on the Mexican situation
until he could examine evidence sub
mitted by Senator Fall, of New Mex
ico, on which the senator based his
charges that the Mexican ambassa
dor and consuls in the United States
had distributed "Red” propaganda in
the United States.
Senators Fall and Hitchcock con
ferred with the president for nearly
an hour. They said they did not ask
his judgment on the pending resolu
tion requesting the president to
sever diplomatic relations with Mex
ico, but he promised to indicate his
views later, after a study of Senator
Fall’s data.
Senator Fall said in reply to ques-'
tions that he was “entirely satisfied
with the president’s condition and
with his ability to handle the Mex
ican situation.”

WILSON TO LET
TREATY REMAIN
WHERE IT NOW IS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—President
Wilson has no intention of with
drawing the peace treaty from the
senate for the present, Senator
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, announced
Friday afternoon his visit to the
president. He discussed the treaty
question with the president briefly
after the conference on the Mexican
situation.
The president thinks the failure of
the senate to act on the treaty at
the special session shifted the re
sponsibility in the matter to “other
shoulders,” Senator Hitchcock said,
adding:
“He is just going to let it stayy
where it is at present.”

A Hen Ought to Pay
SB.OO a Year
In these days of high prices of eggs, no
poultry raiser need be satisfied with a eent
less than SB.OO worth of eggs from every
hen in the flock. That means constant
laying, of course—during the damp, cold
winter days as well as’through the summer.
This is possible, now, thanks to the discov
ery of E. J. Reefer, America’s Poultry Ex
pert. His tonic, “More Eggs,” when put
in the drinking water, makes the ordinary
barnyard hen lay like a prize-winner. Mr.
Popie Andress, of Scovia, Mississippi,
writes: “I wns getting only two eggs a
day from fourteen hens. Now I get ten
and twelve.” Os the 400,000 poultry rais
ers who have used “More Eggs,” thou
sands have written similar letters telling of
doubled, tripled, yes, even quadrupled
egg productions. If you wish to try this
great profit maker, write to E. J. Reefer,
Poultry Expert, 1189 Reefer Bldg., Kansas
City, Missouri, who will send you a sea
son’s supply of “More Eggs” Tonic for
SI.OO (prepaid). So confident is Mr. Reefer
of the result that a million dollar bank
guarantees that if yon are not absolutely
satisfied, your dollar will be returned on
request. You can not 1 lose on such an of
fer and if this great tonic will do for you
what it has done for 400,000 others, it will
certainly bring you much greater profits
from your hens than you ever got before.
Send a dollar today.—(Advt.)

Heat Flashes,
Dizzy, Nervous
Augusta, Ga.: —“When I approached
middle life my health was in very
poor condition. I
had heat flashes,
dizzy spells and
nervousness, be
sides a catarrhal
condition. I was
just as miserable
as one could be
when I decided
. I would give Dr.
' Pierce's Favorite
Prescription a
trial. I had doc
tored and obtain-
ed no relief so had little confidence in
anything, but I found most wonder
ful relief in the first bottle of ‘Fa
vorite Prescription.’ For two years I
took an occasional bottle whenever I
just felt that my condition warranted
my taking a tonic, and it brought me
through the change in a strong and
healthy state. I well remember that ■
I hadn’t a hot flash, dizzy spell or
hemorrhage after my third bottle of
‘Favorite Prescription,’ and I would
advise women who are taking this
medicine to keep cn with it until re
stored to perfect health.”—MßS.

Columbus, Ga.:—“For about two
years I suffered and became run
down. I was nervous and would be
so weak I could not get up in the
morning; my back ached all the time
and so badly that I could not stoop
at all. I also suffered with pains in
my side. I tried many medicines
but did not get any better. I had
gotten to be a physical wreck when
I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription and by the time I had
taken two bottles I was cured of
my aliment and felt like a new wom
an. I have never suffered since with
this trouble. ‘Favorite Prescriptipp’
is the best medicine for women I
have ever taken.”—MßS. ASNA

Cured His RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk
several years ago. Doctors said my only
hope of cure was an operation. Trassea
me no good. Finally I got hold of some
thing that quickly and completely cured me.
Years have passed and the rupture has never
returned, although.l am doing hard work as
a carpenter. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble. ' I have nothing to
sell, but will give full Information about
how you may find a complete cure without
operation, if yon write to me, Eugene M.

tice and show It to any others who are rup
tured—you may save a life or at least stop
the misery of rupture and the worry and
danger of an operation.—(Advt.)
