a small trial bottle of old, honest "St.

little in your hand and rub it right
on your aching back, and by the time
you count fifty, the soreness and larae-

Nothing else stops lumbago, sciatic*,
fcackachc or rheumatism so promptly.
It never disappoints)
Tho improved business conditions in
the territory served by the Central of
Georgia Railway are indicated by the
Increase in traffic handled by the road,
aeordtng to a statement by President
W. A. Winburn, published elsewhere.
Mr. Winburn point out that tho freight
traffic for the first months of 1923 wee
greater by 46 1-3 per cent than for the
like period of last year, while passenger
traffic increased 12 7 0 per eont.
Ill order to handle this increased bnsi-
ness, many additions and improvements
I have been made by the Centrnl, and the
1 efficiencv of its operating force is in-
I diented by tho fact that during Sep-
timber the average miles per car per
day reached 35. This surpasses the fig
ure of 30 miles per enr per dny fixed
bv the American Railway Association
as the goal of efficient operation to lie
reached by the railroads this yoar. Mr.
Winburn points out that miles per enr
day does not represent actual distance
traveled by a freight ear in a train,
lint lakes into account the total number
of cars on the line—those being loaded
and unloaded, those standing at. termi
nals and in sidings; even those in shops
for repairs, lie says the average speed
of all freight, trains, through and local,
was 13 miles |«>r hour.
Increased business enabled the rail-
ivnv to make a good sltowing in oper
ating revenues in the fnce of the fact
that the average freight rates are lower
Ilian ill previous years. Tho revenue
in 1923 for hauling a ton of freight
one mile was 19-100 cents, u reduction
of 17.4 per eont from tho revenues re-
reived in 1922, which was 1-32-100
dents.
Closing the statement, Mr. Winburn
snvs that, no small part of the credit
goes to shippers and consignees for
their prompt loading and unloading of
freight, and that the showing is not
alono a gain for the Central, but a
splendid record for the torritory the
railroad serves.
CARD OF GRATITUDE
SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It’s Grandmother’s Reclpo
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair
—
That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sul
phur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don’t bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe im
proved by the addition of other ingre
dients at a small cost, all ready for use.
It is called Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be de
pended upon to bring back die natural
color and lustre of vour hair.
Everybody uses ‘'Wyeth’s" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at ■
time; by morning the gray hair haa
disappeared, and after another applica
tion it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.

MORE ADEQUATE
FIRE PROTECTION
In some of the western states fire
losses the past year totaled more than
the entire nipount of taxes collected,
showing the imperative need of more
protection.
What recently happened at Berkeley,
California, when 650 homes in one of
tho finest residential district# of the
city were eomplctly deetroyed by fire
in scarcely ovor an hour Is • drastic
example of this need.
Adequate fire-stopping in dwelling
construction is almost ns rare as a woll
spent life. There are many dwellings
which contnin no evidence of the in
stallation of fire-stopping details than
thore are persons willing to assume re
sponsibility for the omission of those
details.
Many architects, engineers and con
tractor’s, after they linvo sntisfiod them
selves on matters relating to stylo
plan and cost, devote their energies to
insuring the structural adequacy of the
buildings they erect. The stability of
the foundation, the rigidity of the
walls nnd roof and tho load-carrying
capacity of the doors are essential con
siderations. But tliev are not all. At
least one other essential requirement of
sound construction tins received but
scant notice in the building of small
houses.
The average carpenter nnd builder
does not realize the extent of our na
tional fire losses or else he considers
tho possibility of fire ns quite remote.
Usually the home owner does not have
the experience to know what is required-
The designer, tho superintendent and
the eontraetor, jointly, should assume
the responsibility of securing consider
ation of those inexpensive dotnils which
grently rcduco the fire hazard.
Construction expedients which will
help reduce tho excessive toll of the
fire loss to the country should bo pecu
liarly worthy of study. The lumber in
dustry is anxious to assist in some de
gree in reducing this waste, not only of
material and labor, but too ofton of
life, caused by fire in the United State*
It is co-operating with the National
Board of Fire Underwriters and the Un
derwriters’ Laboratories to nwakon tho
public to tho ndvnntngo and necessity
of guarding against fire.

ALPHABET PUZZLES
i
New and attractive features to please the children and gain
the interest of parents. Below is shown the first of this new
series of juvenile features—something for a “children’s cor
ner.”
These features will entertain and stir the inquiring faculties
of the child. Mother will also become interested.
“Alphabet Puzzles” are a variation and an improvement
on the hidden picture puzzle. They are confined to 27 sub-
iects, each carrying a rhyme and an illustration attractive to
the eye. Each illustration contains hidden pictures. They
teach the alphabet, create an elemental idea of poetry and
awaken the imagination of the child. Finding the hidden pic
tures furnishes an agreebale manner of entertainment, while
exercising the child’s observation and developing its idea of
form. Instructions in small type accompanying each illustra
tion show the parent or instructor which way the picture is to
be turned in order that the child may puzzle out the concealed
faC< These puzzles form an exceptionally good scrapbook fea
ture—something to be cut out and preserved.
They are especially commendable for the attractive, cheer
ful drawings, each filled with the spirit of childhood. They
are the work of Violet Moore Higgins, an artist who has spe-
cilalized very successfully in this class of illustrating. The lit
tle ones will take great joy in the pictures and rhymes and m
working out the puzzles.
Senator Harris told of hi* work to
ameliorate the condition of the farmer
a* tho proseprity of the country de
pends upon the success of tho farmer,
eoying, “If you help the farmer, you
help the merchant, the banker, the man
ufacturer and reach the very baala of
industrial and commercial stability. ”
Ho explained how he had assisted la
forming the "farm bloc" in the Sonata,
composed of group of Senators who de
termined to ace thnt tho farmers of
America received a "square deal" in
legislation considered by Congress. He
was able to noint out mnny beneficial
tilings that the "farm bloc*’ had ac
complished.
His efforts in securing the transfer
of crops nren army headquarters from
Charleston to Atlanta nnd an appro
priation for the southeastern office of
the Bureau of Foreign nnd Domestic
Commerce in Atlanta were discussed
by the Senator. The commerce office
is proving of groat assistance in secur
ing markots for Georgia products.
Senator Hafrria explained that lie
coil'd not recount nil of the things in
a short speech which ho had tried to
accomplish during the first four years
of his service in the Sennte, but he re
counted some of the most, beneficial in
the nature of a report to his constitu
ents. He discussed his bills to strength-
<n the Federal Warehouse Act and to
nllnw small state banks to enter Ilia
Federal Reserve Svstom us only one-
third nf the Georgia banks were eligi
ble for membership until Senator Har
ris’ amendment liecnme a law.
Tho Senator discussed his efforts to
seccro membership for a farmer on tho
Fedcrnl Reserve Hoard; tho change in
tho law to permit Federal Reserve
Banks to handle farmers’ notes for
nine months; tho, curtailment of the
power of the Federal Reservo Board to
spend viyt amounts for banking houses
such ns had been erected in New York
City nt a cost of more than $20,000,000.
Sonator Harris snid interest rates
should bo reduced on tho paper of
farmers nnd business men instead of
wasting millions on buildings. Ho told
of his fight und other members of
the farm bloc, on tho recent chairman
of the Board. W, P ,G. Harding, who
wns not re-appointed bocauso of tho
opposition to confirmation in the Sen
ate.
Senator Harris told of his efforts in
1918 in preventing President Wilson
from fixing a price of fifteen cents a
pound on cotton, showing how this
saved millions to the 8outh ns eotton
sold that year ns high as 45 cents a
pound. Among otlior efforts in behalf
of tho farmers he recounted tho estab
lishment of a lenaod wire for markbt
renorts giving latest information on
prices; tho reduction in freight rates
on watermelons, cantaloupes and other
!■redacts; saving of more than ten mil
lion dollars annually by putting potash
end other fertilizer materials on tho
free list, and placing a tariff on pon-
nuts, vogetable and cotton seed oils to
save tho southern farmer from tho com
petition of cheap Chinese labor in rais
ing oriental peanuts.
Peach experiment stations; pecan
test farms; tobacco experiment sta
tions and co-operation in boll weevil
experiment stations in Oeorgia were
discussed by Senator Harris because of
hi* work os a member of the Senate
appropriation* subcommittee which
S rovided the money for the stations,
in recounted his successful effort
through an Investigation by several
government agencies to remove the dis
crimination against peanut-fed hogs
raised in Georgia as compared with
northern and western corn-fed hogs
Senator Harris told of a recent visit
to Swift and Company’s plant at
Monltrie where he found that the pack
ers were now paying ns much for pen-
nut-fed hogs as for corn-fed hogs.
Discussing the European debt ques
tion, Henntor Harris said ho was the
first Senator to introduce a resolution
saving that these debts should not bo
cancelled, and thnt he had amended
the lnw so that Democrats must bo ap
pointed to the Debt Commission. Ho
told of his visit to Franco nt his own
expense to assist in hurrying back the
Georgia boys after tho armistice had
been signed, the only ono of the 90
Senators who did this.
Referring to his membership on the
powerful Senate Appropriations Com
mittee Senator Harris snid this commit
tee authorized the expenditure of mon
eys thnt ran up into billions, nnd thnt
iiis membership had given him a posi
tion of influence enabling him to ac
complish some of the things he had
enumerated.
Senator Harris said lie wfts not a
man who promised always what he wa-
going to do, but that he was able to
tell bis constituents wlint ho had done
and lot them judge for themselves
whether or not ho had served them
faithfully nnd efficiently. Senator
Harris’ speech wns a simple, straight
forward statement of accomplishments
which greatly interested his hearehs.
On his visit over Georgia ho will hurt)
boon in ovory county when ho concludes
his tour, it being the first time in the
history of the Btnte thnt a public man
hnB dono this in a year when there was
no campaign. After his speech in more
than 140 counties tho audiences by
unanimous voto have endorsed his re
cord in tho Senate. No other Sonator
evor received such an endorsement.

PUT CREAM IN NOSE
AND STOP CATARRH
Tells How To Open Clogged Nos
trils and End Head-Colds.
You foet fine in a few moments. Your
cold In head or catarrh will be gone.
Your clogged nostrils will open. The
air passages of your head will clear and
you can breathe freely. No more dull
ness, headache; no hawking, snuffling,
mucous discharges or dryness; no strug
gling for breath at night
Tell your druggist you want a email
bottle of Ely’s Cream Bohn. Apply a
little of this fragrant, antiseptic cream
in your nostrils, lot it penetrate through
every air passage of the head; soothe and
heal the swollen, inflamed mucous mem
brane, and relief oomes instantly.
It is just what every cold and catarrh
sufferer needs. Don’t stay stuffed-up
and miserable.
Eating too much rich food may pro
duce kidney trouble in some form, says
a well-known authority, because the
acids created excite the kidneys. Then
they become overworked, get sluggish,
clog up and cause all sorts of distress,
particularly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren’t acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots of good
water and also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. I his
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for years to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the system so that they no
longer irritate, thus often relieving blad
der disorders.
Jad Salts can not injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent litliia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to help keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean,
thus often avoiding serious kidney dis
orders. By all means have your physi-
aian examine your kidneys at least twice
• year.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TELLS OF IMPROVED
• CONDITIONS IN IT’S TERRITORY
Improved conditions in the territory served by the Central of Georgia Railway
Company are strikingly reflected in the increased traffic handled by the road.
The Central of Georgia Railway Company showed an increase in freight business
for 1922. Freight traffic (measured by the number of tons of freight carried one
mile) increased only 9 3-4 per cent for all of the class 1 railroads in 1922 as compar-’
ed to 1921, but the Central of Georgia registered an increase of 13 2-3 per cent.
This increase in freight business made possible the Central of Georgia’s favorable
showing in total operating revenues for 1922 in the face of the fact that on the aver
age freight rates were lower than in 1921. The revenue in 1923 for hauling a ton
of freight one mile is 1-9-100 cents, a reduction of 17.4 per cent from the revenue
received in 1922 which was 1-32-100 cents. Since the first of this year the traffic of
the Central of Georgia Railway Company, both freight and passenger, has increased
substantially over that handled for the cor responding period of last year. The num
ber of tons of freight carried one mile by the Central of Georgia Railway Company
for the 7 months ended July 31, 1923, was greater by 46-1-3 per cent than the freight
traffic handled in the first 7 months of 19 22. Passenger traffic (measured by the
number of passengers carried one mile) on the Central of Georgia Railway in the 7
months ended July 31, 1923, was greater by 12 7-8 per cent than the passenger traf
fic handled in the first 7 months in 1922. n September, 1922, we established a new
record for volume of business handled, surpassing the previous peak recorded in Oc
tober, 1920. During each month of the past twelve our business has exceeded the
high mark of any preceding year. The Central of Georgia Railway Company enters
the fall and winter better prepared than ever before to discharge its obligations to
the public.
Despite the growth of passenger and freight traffic in its territory, the Central of
Georgia Railway Company has kept abreast of the situation so well, through additions
and improvements to its plant and through the splendid co-operation of its empolyes
and patrons, that this year’s unprecendented business has been handled with marked
efficiency. One index of efficiency is the “average miles per car per day.” On the
Central of Georgia this figure has been more than 30 during the entire past year, and
in September, the month just closed, it reached 35 miles—a record not equaled by any
other railway in this territory, and by few roads in the United States. “30 miles per
car per day” was fixed by the American Railway Association as the goal of efficient
operation to be reached by the railroads this year. It is a source of no little satisfac
tion to us that the Central of Georgia has gone beyond this figure. The public should
understand that “miles per car per day” does not represent the actual distance trav
eled by a freight car in a train. It takes into account the total number of cars on the
line—those being loaded and unloaded, those standing at terminals and in sidings,
even those in the shops for repairs. These latter classes average more thaiy 57 per
cent of the total. As a matter of fact, the average speed of all freight trains,
through and local, on the Central of Georgia in September, 1923, was 13 miles per
hour.
This exceptional showing speaks for itself. It should be a source of gratification
to the patrons as well as to the employes of the Central of Georgia Railway Company.
It represents joint effort and joint success. No small part of the credit goes to ship
pers and consignees for their prompt loading and unloading of cars. It is not alone
a gain for our railroad; it is a splendid record for the territory our railroad serves.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.

President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
