unnaturally. I knew I need

know what to take until a friend ad

They cured me of all signs of kid

for the completion of the links in the
general state wide scheme of road
projects covered by the federal aid
plans in this state.
“Some projects, such as the Camp
Gordon to Decatur road in DeKalb
county to the artillery range were
temporarily laid aside for a further
conference with the War Department
officials.
“In other cases, such as Butts, Gor
don, Whitfield, Pulaski, Screven, Bar
tow and Laurens, were carried over
for similar reasons, and further, that
some of them might be altered some
what to coincide more fully with the
policy of the department. As each
year the federal fund increases more
than $130,000,000, it is thought
that all Georgia projects will be aid

County Commissioner J. O. Gaston
is very much interested in securing
part of the federal funds for use on
Butts county’s roads, and has worked
tirelessly to secure favorable consid
eration from the State Highway Com

Internal Revenue Collec
tor Gives Notice

ERS—WARNING SOUNDED
/ '
“Tax slackers will be prosecuted
as vigorously under the war revenue
act as draft slackers were prosecuted
under the selective service act. The
aid of all good citizens is invoked in
bringing to justice the man who de
liberately seeks to evade his just share
of the war burden.”
This was the statement today of In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Daniel
C. Roper. With only ten day left in
which to file income tax returns, he
practically completed the organiza
tion of a huge dragnet for bringing
into camp all persons who fail to file
their returns by April 1. Revenue of
ficers in every section of the country
are checking up returns with a view
to beginning prosecutions against tax
dodgers. The word has gone forth
that such offenders need expect no
leniency.
“Through its educational campaign
the Bureau of Internal Revenue has
endeavored to cover the field so thor
oughly that ignorance of the law can
not be consistently offered as an ex-
cuse” said Commissioner Roper to
day. “The press, the four minute
men, the State and County Councils
of National Defense, the field force
of the Department of Agriculture and
other government departments, banks,
post offices and hundreds of volun
teer agencies have co-operated in
bringing home to the tax payer his
duty.
“The man who failed to register
under the selective service act was
regarded by the War Deparment as
a slacker and prosecuted as such.
The man who fails to file his income
tax will be regarded as a “money
slacker,” and when discovered, as he
will be, will be made to suffer full
penalties of the law.
“To the credit of the nation it may
be said that I have gratifying and
conclusive evidence that these in
come taxes will be paid by the great
majority of the American people
cheerfully and willingly. But the du
ty of the honest man does not end
with the payment of his own tax. I
call upon him to aid in bringing into
camp the tax dodger. A man so nig
gardly as to seek to evade what his
represnetative in Congress declared
to be his just share of a tax im
posed for the support of our arms is
deserving of no consideration and
will receive none.
“Congress has distributed this tax
justly and equitably. The rate is fix
ed so that the rich man and the man
of moderate means are assessed, each
according to his income. No man can
offer the excuse that his neighbor es
capes what he has to pay. Therefore,
it is incumbent upon all good citizens
to aid in carrying out the intent and
■kpirit of the law, which is that the
burden of the war tax be evenly dis
tributed and every man compelled to
pay his just quota.”

Hydrophobia is increasing in Geor

ceived treatment. Of that number 382
received treatment at the laboratory,

by mail.
Only 1,500 cases were treated in
1916, the increase for 1917 over the
previous year being 472.
There has been a marked increase
in the disease every year since 1910.

animals in the United States was
