cause it is not simply good, but su

lurks the greatest of virtues. Merit and
because you buy Drew’s from your

if not found as claimed all you have
to do is return to your druggist and he
cheerfully refunds your money. That’s
why.

DLW REGULATIONS FOR
BIKERS ARE 111 FORCE
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. B.—Following
the President s proclamation extend
ing the license regulations over bak
ers t<: in.’hide bakers who use as lit
tle as three barrels. of flour and meal
a month. Dr. Andrew M. Soule, Fed
eral F.H’d Administrator for Georgia,
has prcmvlgated new rules, supersed
ing those heretofore in force.
The bakers who have not heretofore
seemed licenses are required to se
cure them at once. These Ucenss may
be Lad by applying to the United
States Food Administration, License
Division, Washington, D. C.
New regulations, besides increasing
the number of bakers under govern
ment legnlation and requiring all to
observe the ’’Victory Bread’’ substitu
tions. permits them also to use the
name Victory for pies, cakes, pastry
and other products than bread; in
these other pioducts, however, must
use at least one-third wheat flour sub
stitutes. * » ’
To (nable bakers to produce bread
of fine quality with the required ad
mixture of substitutes, some changes
have been made in the amounts of in
gredh nts other than flour which he
is permitted to use.
More sugar may be used, but as the
necessity for sugar conservation still
exists, the Food Administration ear
nestly hopes bakers will find it un
necessary to increase their consump
tion of cane and beet sugar.
Milk may now "be used in any form
or in any quantity, provided the bread
containing milk is sold at the same
price as that in which no imlk is us
ed. Such bread shall not be adver
tised or sold as milk bread.
Until July 31, bakers of crackers,
cakes, sweet dough goods and such
I RATE INCREASE I I
I TALK NO. 3 | I
I So the People May Know I
We explained in yesterday’s talk that our request for rate in- I
crease was based on the present abnormally high cost of every- I
B thing entering into the making of gas and electricity, and that we I
wer e willing for the Railroad Commission to specify in their or- I
3® der that these rates were to be revised downward as these costs |®>
should fall. ■ ]
Those concerns who make their own power are in the same I
boat we are—they can’t help but pay the added costs and neither B
can we. Here is how they show up in real figures from books.
p® The chartered accountant's report, as the books give, for six I <
months’ ending August 31, 1916 shows a total operating cost of I
IU $21,382.47, including taxes.
The total operating cost of the six months ending October I®
31, 1917, including taxes, wa; $32,436.21.
An increase of $11,053.64 in six months, or an increase of B
52 per cent. Not a penny of this 1917 expense was paid to offi- ||
cers of this comoany in salaries, fees, or expenses, except for I
Mr. Johnson, Local Manager.
®S Now, instead of earning a reasonable rate on the actual cash I
money invested in this property, we did not even pay bond in- I.
» terest, and our accounts show a net loss for six months of $2,- H
■ 791.14 before any reserve is set up to cover depreciation losses. I
as the following figures will show; } jf pt
Operating revenues36,336.2l I
' Operating expenses and loss..es 32,436.21 B
<•0 Total operating income 3,900.00 L
Cash discounts on purchase 55.86 B
||| Gross income 3,955.86 B
|!| Interest on bonded debt 6,750.00
Net income (loss) 2,794.14 L-.
IB Loss 1 per cent, depreciation reserve 2,500.00 B
« Net losses for six months 5,294.14 L
Qi Net losses for year this bads 10,588.28
No business man can fa 1 to realize what a loss of this kind B
S| means, if continued.
It means a loss of mark-. t for securities and a consequent in- B
ability to keep up the plant to say nothing of providing for the B
■ill the needs of an increased demand and population in Americus. It H
B means an inability to supply electricity or Gas to new customers. B
I It mean s eventually receivership, and every business man knows H
that any business failure, particularly that of a public service M
company, will hurt directly or indirectly every business in B
town.
gs| No man wants to be "wolfed,” and yet no fairminded man B£
M wants another business to suffer a positive loss in its sales to W
HI him. We are now suffering an actual and heavy loss, and we are H
;B coming frankly before the Court of Last Resort —our customers p
||| themselves —for relief, and we believe you will meet us in the Ig
H spirit we have come.
i|| Tomorrow we will give a detailed estimate as to the amount
IB w e feel we can reasonably expect the 1918 costs to exceed those of K
Si 1917- s
Sincerely yours, g|

products are limited to 70 per cent. I
of the wheat flour they used in the
corresponding period last year. The
Food Administration believes, howev
er. that most bakers will find it unnec
essary to reduce their total output on
this account. |
The Food Administration declares
its belief that the housewives of the
country are so eager to save wheat
that bakers will find it to their busi
ness advantage to make breads and
other products containing a very high
per centage of wheat flour substitutes
since there will be a heavy demand
for them. It points out that skilled
bakers are now making these prod
ucts successfully with only enough '
wheat flour to act as a binder.
CHALMERS COLLINS

leigh Hardware Co., of St. Louis, of

be joined by Mrs. Collins and their
children early in March, and it is a

friends extend their congratulations
on Mr. Collins’ promotion and wish
him success in his new field of work.
