N. Y. Physician Tells
Of Sargon’s Powers
Dr. G. H. Warburton, Graduate
Famous Bellevue Hospital Medical
College, New York, was so con
vinced of the great good in Sargon
that he recently declared:
“It is not what we eat that counts,
but what we assimilate. Sargon
helps us get more good out of our
food, thus aiding the natural build
ng up of enduring strength, firmer
flesh, calmer nerves, improved brain
lower and a sense of physical wc:.-
leing. You eat with a keen appe
ite, sleep with anew peaceful
loundness and wake up with a fell
ng of renewed strength and ener*
Dr."
While those who actually benefit
from the use of Sargon marvel at
he results of this triumphant com
>ound, only the trained physicians
who have been retained to examine
he formula can understand why
Jargon is now considered one of the
freat outstanding health giving
•emedies of the age.

$3,740,148.39 DUE SCHOOLS OF
STATE
An unpaid balance of $3,740,148.-
39 due the public schools of Georgia
was detailed in a report of an audit
of the school department delivered
by State Auditor Tom Wisdom to
Governor Hardman Friday. The
state paid the schools, in 1930, $6,-
916,089.73.
Of this total paid the schools last
year, $2,411,190.27 came from the
state gasoline and kerosene tax
fund. The remainder came out of
the general treasury.
Of the unpaid appropriations,
made by the general assemblies of
1927 and 1929, $2,006,768 is due
county systems, $402,091.88 is due
city systems, $1,259,500 is due Bar
rett-'Rogvrs elementary and high
schools, and $8,059 is due county
superintendents.
GOLD STAR MOTHER
Atlanta, Ga.—Mrs. Minnie Mc-
Donald Vandiver, another Gold Star
Mother, will leave today for New
York, also planning to sail Wednes
day on the Roosevelt. Her son, Joel
McDonald Vandiver, was lost at sea
in the wreck of the steamship Otran
to, on October 6, 1918. The Otran
to sank in the English channel. Joel
McDonald Vandiver w r as born and
reared at Gainesville, and was a
grandson of Colonel Bedney Frank
lin McDonald, who resigned his com
mission in the Union army to fight
under Longstreet in the Confederate
army. Joel enlisted on June 22,
1918, as a member in the coast ar
tillery, and lost his life when the
Otranto collided with the steamer
Cashmir.
MORE MILK FOR CHILDREN
According to a committee report
made to the recent White House
Conference on Child Health, “the
consumption of fluid milk in the
United States is too low for proper
and economical human nutrition.
Every educational facility should be
used to acquaint both adults and
children with the desirability of con
suming milk and dairy products in
adequate amounts.
Here is a hint for parents and
teachers. It is said that consump
tion of substitute milk products is
high—but, according to Anna Stap
ler, of the Dairymen’s League of
New York, though they taste the
same, they are lacking in vitamin
content. Milk and its by-products
are cheap—and their consumption is
one of the ways of improving the
health of the race.
THE CHEMICAL KISS
Well, you’re wrong. When you
kiss your girl you don’t kiss her at
all. You perform an experiment,
involving thirteen chemicals, besides
rouge and lipstick. The Scientific
American announces this discovery,
and obligingly adds a list of the
chemicals.
In case you are interested, here
is what it says:
“The skin on the face of a pretty
girl contains 61 grams; albumen and
globulin, 0.7; mucoid, 0.16; elastin,
0.34; collagen, 33.2; phosphates,
0.032; fats, 0.761; common salt,
0.45; potassium chloride, 0.04; lime,
0.01; also minute quantities of mag
nesium oxide, iron oxide, aluminum
oxide, and sulphur.”
Make your own laboratory test, if
you don’t believe it.—Atlanta Geor

Barrell Makers Find Business Suffer
ing Through Prohibition
St. Louis.—The barrel business is
not what it used to be. E. A. Pow
ell, Memphis, Tenn., president of
the Associated Cooperage Industries,
told the organization’s annual con
vention here Tuesday night that
prohibition and the tendency of the
housewife to make small purchases
were largely to blame.
“Prohibition.” he said, “took be
tween 25,000,000 and 30,000,000
barrels a year away from the in
dustry, and gave birth to a tendency
in mankind to make home-brew in
bathtubs.”
The housewife, he said, used to
take pickles, salt, sugar and other
articles heme in barrels, but now
goes to town oftener and takes the
same articles home in cartons and
packages.
METHODISTS ALARMED BY
FILM IMMORALITY
Indianapolis.—The Rev. H. D.
Kohlatadt, of Philadelphia, general
secretary of the board of home mis
sions and church extension of the
Methodist Episcopal church, said in
an address today before the board
of bishops of the denomination that
motion pictures sent out from this
country have created a problem in
mission work in foreign lands.
"Prevalent pictures showing the
worst features of American life
which are sent to distant lands and
flashed from screens constitute one
of the most delicate and difficult
problems of missionaries,” he said.
“Even Russia and Turkey have
shown the decency to ban scores of
America’s lurid, immoral and sex
saturated films.
“I am not against moving pic
tures. I believe they have infinite
possibilities. But the voice of the
church should be raised more effec
tively in the council chambers of
Will H. Hays, movie czar.”
CONSISTENT ADVERTISING
The Swainsboro Forest-Blade
hands it to the merchants of his
town in the following words in
which there is more truth than poe
try: “Mr. Merchant, you ask us why
so many of our people go elsewhere
to do their trading and why so much
money is spent with mail order
houses. Well, we can tell you. It’s
simply because you have not the
foresight to take advantage of the
opportunities that are yours. Your
county paper is the best medium at
your command to cause folks to
trade at home. If you have some
thng to sell the best way to go about
it is by advertising. Not advertis
ing once a month or once a year,
but fifty-two weeks out of the year.
Consistent advertising, backed by
persistent effort is bound to get the
desired results. If you are not
getting what patronage should be
yours, don’t blame the trading pub
lic, just blame yourself.”
AVERAGE CAR OWNER VALUES
AUTO S9O, PAYS $55 TAXES
The average automobile owner in
the state values his car at S9O and
pays a tax of $55.55 on it each
year, it was revealed by the state’s
tax books Saturday.
There were 341,177 automobiles
returned for taxation to the state
during the last year, with an aver
age value of S9O, according to the
tax books. Tax was paid as follows:
State ad valorem, $.45.
County and school district, $2.85.
License tag, $13.25.
Gasoline, $39.
The taxes are figured on an aver
age basis for each owner registered
during 1930.

TREAT US THAT WAY
Wouldn’t this old world be better,
If the folks we meet would say,
“I know something good about you.”
And then treat us that way?
Wouldn’t it be fine and dandy
If each handclasp, warm and true,
Carried with it this assurance,
“I know something good about
you!”
Wouldn’t life be lots more happy,
If the good that’s in us all
Were the only things about us
That folks bothered to recall?
Wouldn’t life be lots more happy
If we praised the good we see?
For there is such a lot of goodness
In the worst of you and me.
Wouldn’t it be nice to practice
That fine way of thinking, too?
You know something good about
me,
I know something good about you.

NATIONAL COTTON WEEK
t
The nation is to celebrate “Na
tional Cotton Week,” as every possi
ble effort is being made to obtain
full co-operation of all merchants
who handle products made of cot
ton.
More than 65,000 people are di
rectly employed in the cotton manu
facturing mills in Georgia, and ful
ly 400,000 farmers and farm labor
ers are engaged in the production of
cotton. These employes and work
ers, together with their families,
represent a total of approximately
2,000,000 people in this state who
are directly or indirectly dependent
upon the growing, manufacturing,
and marketing of the 1,500,000
bales of cotton that are produced
and manufactured in Georgia each
year.
The Atlanta Constitution says,
“Cotton is a vital factor in the
economic and commercial life of the
state and any movement that tends
to increase the consumption of cot
ton and its products will be a great
benefit to the entire state, since the
purchasing power of a great por
tion of the state’s population is reg
ulated by the amount of cotton goods
consumed.
“The “National Cotton Week”
movement is not to be devoted en
tirely to clothes and other commod
ities made wholly of cotton, for
equal emphasis is to be laid on all
articles, any part of which are made
of cotton, and since cotton is a very
important factor in many of the
country's major industries, this
movement should be the means of
stimulating general business condi
tions throughout the nation.
“Cotton goods are being sold at
the lowest prices in 15 years, and
this is a most opportune time to
create a nationwide interest in cot
ton merchandise of all kinds.”
AIR-COOLED, CINDER
LESS TRAIN WILL BE
LAUNCHED THIS MONTH
New York—The first train entire
ly air-conditioned and cooled, anew
step in railroading, was announced
tonight by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad.
Beginning about May 20 the Co
lumbian, running between New
York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
Washington, will have cooled, wash
ed, sootless, cinderless air circulat
ing its entire length, even into the
sun room of the observation car.
Single coaches have been cooled
in the past. Conditioning the en
tire train is one of a number of ul
tra-modern improvements under con
sideration by various lines, which
promise to doll up future trains as
brightly as airplanes, with speeds to
compete and attractive comforts.
Lavonia Boy, 16, Drown* In
Tugalo
Lavonia, Ga.—Hoyt Chitwood, 16,
was drowned in Tugalo river near
Shearlers Ferry Monday evening
when the boat in which he and his
older brother were placing trot
lines sank. The older brother swam
to safety, but Hoyt was carried un
der by the swift current and the
father who was ashore was unable
to catch sight of him after he went
down the first time.
Improved quality of diet is the
chief essential for ridding the South
of pellagra. Such is the assertion
of Dr. E. V. McCollum, of Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, in
ternationally noted authority on
nutrition. Pellagra, now somewhat
common in the South, is caused by
a deficiency in Vitamin G, Dr. Mc-
Collum declared, adding that foods
richest in this particular vitamin are
yeast, eggs, lean meat and milk.
“Those who have given most care
ful attention to pellagra are agreed
that the one way to eradicate it is
by improvement in the quality of the
diet,” said Dr. McCollum.
Nine girl students and instructors ,
of the Washington Missionary Col-1
lege at Takoma Park, D. C., for four |
weeks lived on a diet costing not
more than 28 cents a day apiece.
It is said that the girls gained weight
during the experiment. The diet
consisted of cottage cheese, eggs,
peanut butter, soy bean milk, with a
liberal supply of tomatoes and oran
ges. The girls are said to have en
joyed every meal, and this is attri-
buted to the fact that they were not
permitted to eat between meals.
Desserts were served only three
I times a week. The 28-cent menus
I were prepared by Miss Ida P. Rod-
I gers, of the Bureau of Home Econo
| mics, and a member of the Presi
dent’s unemployment committee.
She was aided by officials of the Red
Cross and the Public Health Service,
while the menus were checked by
Miss W. Howe, of the Washington
' Sanitarium.
ECONOMY BEGINS AT HOME
Much is said about the national'
debt. It is a big debt. On June 30,
1930, it amounted to $16,185,000,-
000. But state and local debts in
1928, the latest figures obtainable,
were $12,609,000. States had no
war debts. Why constantly talk a
bout the national debt?
The national debt per capita in
1928 was $129.76, and state and
local per capita $105.19, making a
total per capita of $234.95. Eight
tenths of the former was forced on
us, but the whole of the latter haa
been largely of our own choosing.
States, counties and cities have
been going into debt for improved
highways and streets, buildings
lurgely for educational purposes,
and structures, and city councils ap
propriated the money and charged
it against us. Needed in some in
stances, perhaps, though expendi
ture may not have been wise in times,
of inflation.
We are up against a fact that
seems to question our financial
capacity. That fact is this: from
1922 to 1928 the increase in state*
and local bonded debt in this coun
try was 76 per cent. This is much
greater than tHe increase in the na
tional debt in the same period. Such
an indictment should make us all
feel uncomfortable.
It looks as though economy, like
charity, should begin at home. And
the sooner it begins the better for
all.—Dawson News.

Millions of dollars are slipping
through the fingers of Georgians—
millions primarily intended for their
own pockets—all because they are
buying outside when they should
buy at home. This is the view of
editors, business men and industrial
leaders, who are expressing them
selves freely at the present time, in
discussing the after-effects of econo
mic depression and unemployment
conditions. It is their opinion that a
movement to “Sell Georgia to Geor
gians”, which is under way in some
sections of the state, should strike
a responsive chord in every city,
town and village in the common
wealth. They have urged that pre
ference be given by all buyers to
home-grown, home-made, home-man
ufactured and home produced pro
ducts, in other words—Georgia pro
ducts—whether it be something to
eat, something to wear or something
with which to build.
Many school boards over the
state are reducing expenses by cut
ting salaries and reducing the num
ber of teachers. This plan has been
adopted rather than closing schools.
The Richmond county board of edu
cation recently reduced next year’s
expenses by $48,140 in a general
salary cut that included principals*
teachers, laborers, janitors and 1 ,
maids. Four teachers in the city
white elementary schools in Augusta
will be eliminated under the pro
gram with the discontinuance of
domestic science classes in all
schools.
Bishop J. M. Moore will preach
the commencement sermon at Wes
leyan college on Sunday, May 31.
Dr. S. T. Senter, pastor of the First
Methodist church, Atlanta, will de
liver the literary address June 1.
For the 11th and last time, Dr. Quil
lian will sign diplomas of the gradu
ates. His resignation will go into
effect and Dr. Dice R. Anderson,
now president of Randolph-Macon
Women’s college, in Virginia, will
succeed him as head of the college
June 1. The senior class this year
is made up of 65 students, most of
whom will receive their degree at
this time. Others will complete
their work during the summer.
According to the 1920 out
of 1,000 white males born, 674 lived
to be 50. Out of each 1,000 fe
males born, 698 lived to the age of
50. According to an estimate made
in 1928, the rate had risen to 736
for men and 774 for women. The
1930 census figures for these per
centages are not yet completed.
