WHATCANYOUDOFBR CATARRH?
Ask Yourself the question. How often has the doctor failed,
as have ointments, salves, vapours? What you should do.
The easy, common-sense method —
that costs so little —that is so quickly
and vigorously effective —is often the
last resort of many Catarrh sufferers.
Why, it is hard to say. One of the
specialists of the Swift Specific Com
pany inAAtlantaa —a physician of stand
ing and national reputation because of
his knowledge of blood disorders, made
the assertion that if the majority of
Catarrh sufferers would buy and faith
fully take S. S. S., they could effectu
ally get rid of Catarrh.
S. S. S. goes straight to the seat of
trouble, the blood. It spreads its in
fluence over every organ in the body,
comes through the veins and arteries,
enables the mucous surfaces to ex
change acids and irritating substances
for red blood corpuscles that effectual
ly cleanse the system and thus put an
end to all Catarrhal poison. S. S. S.
cleans out the stomach of mucous ac
cumulations, enables only pure, blood
JACKSON NATIONAL
MAKES GOOD SHOWING
When the board of directors of
the Jackson National Bank met
last Saturday they declared a
regular semi-annual dividend of
3 per cent. The earnings for the
first six months of 1916 were de
clared to have been the largest
in the history of the bank. This
was due, it was said, to the fed
eral reserve svstem by which lo
cal banks are able to secure
money at a low rate of interest.
The federal reserve system also
enables local banks to bet er
serve their customers, it is stated.
The Jackson National is Butts
county’s largest bank. The in
stitution is in a prosperous con
dition, as the semi-annual divi
dend shows, and the annual report
next January will probably be a
most encouraging one.

Some Mistakes About
Animal Ailments
(W. M. BURSON, Prof. Vet. Sc., Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.)
"HOLLOW TAIL.” A disease of the
imagination of man. The tails of
cows are not hollow. In many cows
there is a section of the tail near
the end in which the framework of
gristle has failed to become changed
into bone. This renders the tail very
flexible at this point. It is not a
diseased condition. Examination of
the tails of the cows in a large herd
will disclose that many cows that have
never been sick have the condition as
described above. Splitting the tail and
rubbing salt or other substances into
the fresh wound is very poor treatment
for a sick animal. It is better to
make a proper diagnosis of the ail
ment and administer the proper treat
ment.
When in doubt call your veterina
rian, it is his business to know.
LOSS OF CUD: Rumination or
chewing the cud is an essential pro
cess of digestion in all animals hav
ing multiple stomachs. Among the
domestic animals these include the
cow, sheep and goat.
Rumination or regurgitation and re
mastication consists in the animal
belching up from the stomach a quan
tity of coarse food that has soaked
for some time in the paunch, remasti
cating it and again swallowing it. The
process is carried on usually when
the animal is lying or standing at rest.
It cannot occur when the animal is an
gry or excited. It is stopped also dur
ing periods of serious illness or de
rangement of the nervous system. Loss
of cud is usually indicative of a de
ranged condition of the digestive sys
tem of the animal.

How To Make
Bordeaux Mixture
(T. H. McIIATTON, Prof. Horticul
ture, Georgia State College of Agr.)
Recommendations are being made
for spraying Bordeaux mixture for
many fungous diseases or wilts, and
care should be exercised in making
it. By following the formula here
with given an effective mixture cun
be obtained: Dissolve 3 pounds of
blue stone in a small pail of water
When dissolved dilute to twenty-five
gallons. Slack six pounds of lime in
a small amount of water and dilute to
twenty-five gallons. Pour the two so
lutions at the same time into a bar
rel through a screen to catch the
lumps of material remaining. While
pouring stir the contents of the bar
rel vigorously. Mixing thoroughly in
this way is very essential to prevent
crystals forming and thereby bring
about a reduction of the strength of
the mixture.

Hugh M. Dorsey States
Exactly Where He Stands
Law enforcement and retention of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad
stand out conspicuously in the plat
form of Hugh M. Dorsey, candidate
for governor.
Mr. Dorsey pledges, if he is elect
ed, to use every power of the gover
nor “to enforce all the law’s upon
the statute books .... equally and
impartially, alike to rich and poor and
high and low.”
“The Constitution bars the door of
the jury room .... and bars the
door of the courtroom to the gover
nor . . . .” says he, declaring he
will apply consistently the laws con
trolling executive clemency.
“Our courts only must be permit
ted to punish violators of our laws,
and must not be thwarted by any ag
gregation of citizens who may seek to
assume the functions which our whole
people have delegated to our courts.
Prohibition Laws
“I favor, and if elected governor,
shall enforce in letter and spirit to
the full limit of the powers vested
in that office the laws prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants
in this state. I shall oppose consist
ently any change or modification of
the present law’s unless such change
or modification first has been declar
ed to be the expressed will of the
white voters of Georgia.”
Mr. Dorsey says the courts are
hampered too often by technicalities
and urges that this condition be rem
edied without depriving those charged
with crime of any right now guaran
teed to them.
W. and A. Railroad
"I oppose the sale of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad,” Mr. Dorsey de
clares flatly, “and if elected governor
I shall exercise all the influence and
authority of that office to defeat any
measure looking toward the sale of
this valuable property.”
He shows how this position is based
not on sentiment but on sound busi
ness principle.
“The policy of the state, expressed
in recent legislation forbidding the
paralleling of this railroad, will be
carried out to the letter by me as
governor,” he declares.
He favors letting the Georgia coun
ties through which the W. and A.
passes, tax it as it is taxed in Ten
nessee; favors separate disposition of
the terminals in Atlanta and Chatta
nooga; and a short term lease of 29
years for the railroad.
He says the extension of the W. and
A. to the sea may become necessary
for the preservation of the property,
hut that, in any event, it merits seri
ous consideration as offering wonder
ful advantage in developing and di
versifying our commerce.

first asset as a state, Mr. Dorsey fa
vors liberal appropriation to the com
mon schools and some provision of
law’ insuring fuller utilization of
school facilities. He favors the atat©
making a beginning in the matter of
furnishing school books free or at
least at cost of production. He favors
appropriations to the state’s other edu
cational institutions fully commensu
rate with their needs. He declares the
constitutional limitation with reference
to disposition of money from the pub
lic treasury should be observed strict
ly; and that the state should pay her
school teachers promptly.
Mr. Dorsey declares the development
of farming should be encouraged in
every way and all inducements offered
to young men to engage in its prof
itable pursuit. The marketing of
farm products being of paramount im
portance, and good roads being a first
essential to this, he favors co-ordina
tion of the state’s road building under
a highway commission, in order that
even better roads than now may be
built more economically, and also that
the state may qualify for federal good
roads funds.
Pensions For Veterans
Mr. Dorsey favors continuing the
state’s present appropriation for pen
sions and distributing its total each
year among the fewer and fewer vet
erans and widows who remain, until
some reasonable maximum payment
per pensioner has been attained.
Mr. Dorsey urges that part of the
state prison farm equipment be used
to care for the criminally insane, for
whose custody the state now makes
no special provision. He favors bi
ennial legislative sessions, of fifty
days each; health legislation suggest
ed by the progress of science; says
conditions under which a large body of
our citizens live and labor in factories
should receive the Intelligent supervi
sion of the state. He says the penalty
for violation of the law against usury
should be made effective and more uni
formly appropriate to the offense.
Auditing And Efficiency
In order that the auditing of public
accounts of the state and its counties,
now being done irregularly and at con
siderable aggregate cost, may be done
better and more economically, Mr.
Dorsey favors the centralization of all
this work in one responsible state de
partment of auditing. He favors also the
creation, without cost, of an efficiency
commission composed of the governor,
the treasurer and some other state
house officer, to save much money from
waste by systematizing the present
cumbersome plan of state accounting.
“Our people should receive even,
greater benefits than now from praM
ent revenues,” says Mr. Dorsey in ooiM
elusion. “No increase in the ta* XMM
should be necessary.” **
