TARIFF REGULATION
Poor health is expensive.
Flyless town has few funerals.
It’s worry, not work, which
shortens life?
The well that drains the cess
pool is the cup of death.
Phneumonia kills over 120,000
Americans each year.
A cold bath every morning is
the best complexion remedy.
The \T. S. Public Health Service
has reduced malaria 00 per cent
in some localities.
The .death rate from typhoid
fever in the United States has
been cut in half since 1900.
This week brings the heavy
grind of the session, three meet
ings per day. This House has had
more work to do than any that
has met in the state for years
past.
I*»'“
The politicians are all very
busy figuring out the state races
but few of them seem to be very
vitally interested in them. The
state campaign this year will be
very mild commared with some
others that we have had.
The Tennessee Copper matter
seems to have stirred up a hornets
nest and the case of the people
of Georgia versus a out of state
corporation will be watched with
interest. There is evidence of
unfair connivance to some extent
in the may politics have crept
into this matter.
The House passed a modest
local option compulsory education
bill last week that gives each
county a chance to see what they
want along this line. The way
that some of the children
of the state are treated
it seems makes some skeleton
bill of this kind needed. A better
biH would be missed were the
school conditions enough to war
rant it. This bill will be watched
with interest.

Much alarm exists at this time
among shipping interests of the
state over the proposed raise of
freight rates on the part of the
railroads. This alarm, however,
is greatest with those persons or
locations where little or no actual
knowledge has been gained ot
the real character and determin
ing judgement of the state rail
road commission. So very little
is mentioned relative to this
determining board in the present
aggitation that it might seem as
if the entire cause of the shippers
was lost if frantic and fevered
effort was not made by said
shippers or their cities to save
the advantage to their industries.
In this respect, all commercial
and industrial enterprises should
enjoy favoring freight rates and
timely action is commendable
where trespass is made or pre
sumed that, will directly or in
directly reduce the earnings of
the business in favor of the com
mon carrier. Common prudence
demands such protective effort
on the part of any shipper or city
where its industries may be sub
ject to discriminating tariff re
gulation. Self preservation is a
commendable asset but even
that should be assumed with
sanity and well balanced judg
ment. So with present freight
tariff regulation, an equitable
well balanced rate is the one de
sired by all contracting parties;
one that will not discriminate
against any one city or shipper
in favor of any other, and at the
same time serve all local or state
jiuterestsin a way to foster its
growing industries.
OFFICE OF STATE KAILROAD
COMMISSION.
Such the Railroad Commission
of Georgia has already verified.
Its verdicts is some well known
instances has been with the
people where conflicting differene
existed. In the Atlanta-Stone
Mountain question of rates, the
street car company contended
for a 40 cent passanger rate
while the demand of the people
was for a 25 cent passage. The
commission decided in favor of
the people and a 25 cent rate
prevailed and the street car com
pany is doing a good business.
The state railroad commission
decided the issue not the fevered
clamor of the people living along
the .line. A quiet petition would
have served the people equally
well.
With the present tariff aggita
tion the railroad commission will
decide the issue; not the railroads
nor the excitement ot the people.
On their side, that of the com
mission, it is reasonable to pre
sume that as cit'zens of Georgia
they are fully alive to the mean
ing of euuitable and advanta
geous tariff rates for the grow
ing industries ot the state. It is
equally evident, that apart from
coertion or other’promptingfrom
the people over the state, the
commission are on their job and
are making and investigation far
more searching and comprehen
sive than any that will be present
ed by the shippers themselves;
and that finally in the last
analysis, a verdict will be render
ed by this tribunal astonishingly
agreeable for its wisdom, breadth
of comprehension of the subject,
and favorable to state inta'ests.
Alarm of the fevered kind may
well subside in favor of the well
attested judgement of the state
railroad commission. Their judg
ment is final and it will never be
against the equitable interests of
Georgia.

WEEKLY BOARD OF
TRADE NOTES
Surplus Tomatoes Should
Be Canned
One of the sorriest spectacles
against frugal domestic ecomomy
observed at this season of the
year is the wamton waist of
quantities of tomatoes and other
perishable table vegetables.
These vegetables used daily on
the tables of every household
must be purchased after the sea
son is over if not canned and
preserved. Any waste, therefore
from the ciop which is necessary
for home use during the year, is
an extra expense against the in
come or bank account.
Strict economy and frugal
management in every home de
demands that these vegetables
should bd~grown in quantities to
meet all table demands; that cans
should be employed to preserve
all surplus stock sufficient at
least to meet all family require
ments. In this respect the girl’s
canning clubs are doing a great
work in behalf of better and
more economic living. However
it is not so much what the clubs
are doing but each and every
household is accomplishing for
the supply of its own table.
With reference to the several
methods now in common use for
canning tomatoes and other
vegetables the cold pack seems
to be the favorite as it is the
most convenient. Glass jars and
the open kettle methods are both
in frequent use. In fact any one
of the several methods that will
properly preserve the vegetables
in good order and is most con
venient is the one to use. The
idea being in all cases to can or
preserve in some form a sufficient
quantity to supply the home and
save the family bank account.
Any waste in domestic frugality
is simply a financial loss against
the fortune and future of the
home.

Engineer’s Wife Says Her
Health Was Completely
Broken Down.
“I have just finished my third
bottle of Tanlac and have gained
thirty-five pounds,” was the
truly remarkable statement made
by Mrs. Wilhelmina Joiner, wife
of Richard Joiner, the well-known
! engineer on the M. D. & S. rail-
| road, residing at 115 Third street,
Macon, Ga.
j ‘‘Before I began taking the
| medicine my health was so brok-
I en and I was in such a badly run-
I down condition, I couldn’t give
'sufficient nourishment to my
young baby—in fact, was com
pletely broken down in every
i way.
| “I suffered from nervous in
digestion and have been in a
general run-down condition. In
fact, for nearly two years I have
suffered from nervous prostra-
! tion brought on by this trouble.
| "I tried doctors, I tried medi-
| cines, I tried nearly everything
you could think of trying to get
1 relief, but it just seemed like the
j harder I tried to get well, the
j worse 1 would get. Finally my
' condition got so I couldn’t eat
| any solid food of any kind with
out suffering torture. It just
looked like I was on the verge of
a physical decline, and some
times I almost despaired of ever
getting well and strong again.
| ‘‘That’s just the condition I
was in when I began taking
j Tanlac, and it wasn’t any time
hardly after I began taking it
' before I began to improve. My
I nerves got better at once and I
got so I could enjoy a good
j night’s sleep. Then my appetite
j returned, and it just looked like
I couldn’t get enough to eat. I
j could just eat anything put on
the table, and everything seemed
to taste good and nourish me.
And the baby, why, you just
ought to see it. It is just thriving
and is getting plenty of nourish
ment. My complexion has clear
ed up, too, and I have a good
color now for the first time in
years. Before I began taking
this Tanlac I was as yellow as a
lemon.
‘‘My husband thinks there, is
no medicine on earth like Tanlac,
and my friends are all talking
about how I have improved. I
am only too glad to tell you what
it has done for me, as it has been
nothing short of a blessing in
my case.”
