CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Adis like dynamite on a
Sluggish liver and you
lose a day’s work
There’s no reason why a per
son should take sickening, sali
vating calomel when 50 cents
buys a large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone—a perfect substitute
for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable li
quid which will start your liver
just as surely as calomel, but it
doesn’t make you sick and can
not salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson’s Liver Tone, be
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
It is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty cal
omel today and you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated tomor
row. Don’t lose a day’s work.
Take a spoonful of Dodson’s Liv
er Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bil
iousness. constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don’t find Dodson’s
Liver Tone acts better than hor
rible calomel your money is wait
ng for you. ad

WHY MANY TOWNS APPROVE
FREIGHT RATE EQUALIZATION
More Instances Showing How New Interstate Freight
Rate Adjustment Is Benefiting Georgia Cities and
Towns. There Are Hundreds of Similar Instances.
tt ha* been shown in the hearing on the petition of the railroads of Georgia now in progress before the Railroad Commission of
Georgia, which seek* as one of its objects to readjust and equalize freight rate* between cities and towns within Georgia, that the situation
of many Georgia cities has been greatly improved by the interstate freight rate readjustment put into effect on January Ist, last.
Approximately two thousand cities and towns in Georgia have been benefited by this interstate adjustment.
If the petition of the railroads is granted, existing freight rate discriminations within the state will be removed and freight rates to
and from Georgia towns equi-distant and similarly situated will be the same.
Here are indicated some of the principal commodities embraced in the freight Classification:
CLASSIFICATIONS
IST C LASS: Clothing, Boots and Fhoets, Drugs, Drygoods, Notion-?. STH CLASS: Coffee, Burlap Bags, etc.

STH CLASS: Bakery Goods, Cruckers, Cotton Goods, Sheeting. Shirt- ( LASS R: Cured Meats, Lard and Lard Compounds.
ing, etc. CLASS D: Grain and Grain Products any quantity Hay CL, etc.
The following are seme additional and widely separated points which have been materially benefited by the recent interstate freight
rate adjustment:

Lumpkin’s rate from New York and the Last was 29 per cent
higher than to Albany, Arnericus and Columbus, and is now only
11 per cent higher. Lumptcin is now on an exact with

Read what Gain; sville thinks about, the proposed revision of intrastate freight rates.
Unlike many towns in Georgia which secured general and heavy reductions in interstate freight rates at the time of adjustment,
on January Ist last, Gainesville has had depressed interstate rates for some years, and the new interstate adjustment advances the
rates to Gainesville on some articles and makes reductions on others. But Gainesville finds that, although some of her rates were
advanced, her improved relation with neighboring jobbing centers has substantially increased and extended her trade.
From Louisville and West
From Louisville, lepresenting the West, the rate on cured meats
to Gainesville was reduced cents per hundred pounds, and her rela
tion to Athens and Atlanta improved 11 cents per hundred pounds.
On grain, grain products and hay the rate was reduced s*B cents
per bundled pounds, and her relation to Atlanta and Athens im
**ro\tn fhjur, in sacks, the rate to Gainesville was reduced 6 cents
per hundred pounds, and her relation to Atlanta and Athens im
proved 7 cents. . - „

cents, and he: relation as compared with Atlanta improved 8 cents,
und with Athens 10 cents.

town will have an equal chance on rates in and out. There w.il be an equality ci opportun.ty, interstate and intrastate.
Is it net your opinion that such an adjustment should ce encouraged?

! HE PETITION
The petition of the Gainesville Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association is as follows:
"Honorable Railroad Commission, State of Georgia, Atlanta, Ua.
"Gentlemen: We wish to let you know that we have taken the time and trouble to look into the revision of
freight iates in Georgia that the railroads have proposed for your approval, and that we believe the same should
be put into effect. , ...
"We believe that the plan for readjusting the rates, including the observance of the long and short-haul
principli will benefit the greatest number ol people in the state, and will remove the discrimination that now
exists in fax or of the fewer larger cities. This discrimination lias relaided tne development of far the greater
number of smaller communities. ...... ...
"We understand that the proposed adjustment will give the railroads a small increase in revenues, and we
further believe they are entitled to a reasonable increase.
"We alto believe that the vital question affecting the shippers of our state is a parity of rates for the towns,
small and large, and we believe the plan of adjustment proposed by the ra.heads will bring this about.
