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.

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. Indiana Man’s Experience Frank Moseley, Moore’s Hill, Ind., writes: “I was troubled with almost constant psins in my sides and back. Great relief w as apparent after the first dose of Foley Kidney Pills and in 48 hours all pah left me.” Foley Kidney Pills make kidneys active and health ful and stop sleep-disturbing bladder ailments.

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.

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.” ** BEMENT) Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S OASTO R I A Kingan’s Breakfast Bacon 32c with order.
