RHEUMATICS
MOST JOYOUS
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, THEY
ARE RECOMMENDING “NEU-
TRONE PRESCRIPTION 99.”
“Neutrone Prescription, 99’’ in a few
days will permanently limber up and
remove all aches and pains that none
except a rheumatic suffer. The most
skeptical persons have at once be
come its warmest endorsers.
As a relieved patient expressed it,
"You can distinctly feel a modification
of stiffness in your joints and mus
cles.’’
"Xeutrone Prescription 99” acts in a
mysterious manner that is almost un
believable, when in fact it immedi
ately relieves the most obstinate
oases of rheumatism.
Are you troubled with rheumatism?
If you are “Neutrone Precription 99”
will cure you, yes cure you.
Go to your druggist and say good
bye rheumatism. Mail orders filled

STANLEY HAS DEVISED
“VAGG” CARD SYSTEM
ATLANTA, Ga., April B.—An em
ployment card system to be used in
th e crusade against vagrants has been
devised by Hal M. Stanley, commis
sioner of labor, and will be proposed
by him to municipal employment bu
reaus which he is establishing.
His plan provides for employers
to furnish their employees with a card
showing that? they are workers, not
idlers. Th!?; card will be printed ac
cording to standard form to be used
throughout the state, and there will be
space for punching the card at regu
lar intervals.
Commissioner Stanley believes the
employment card will be useful in
pushing the campaign recently launch
ed by Governor Hugh M. Dorsey to
force the vagrants of Georgia to go
to work as a war measure.

SERIOUS SHORTAGE
OF FLOUR IS AHEAD
ATLANTA, Ga., April 8. —The seri- *
ous nature of the flour shortage in
this country is proven by the order
requiring an inventory by all whole- [
sale and retail dealers, all hotels and
MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1918.
restaurants and all heads of families,
which has just been issued by Dr.
Soule, federal food administrator for
Georgia, through his executive head
quarters in Atlanta, which is in charge
of D. F. McClatchey.
The order requires all persons and
firms included above to file an inven
tory not later than April 18 showing
the amount of flour in their possession
in excess of 30 days' supply. Ther
allowance of the Food Administration
for one person for 30 days is six
pounds of flour. Hence if there be a
family of five persons, they are al
lowed to consume 30 pounds of flour
in 30 days. All in excess of this
quantity must be shown in the inven
tory which is to be filed in te ojees
here of the food administration.
Dealers in flour are allowed to sell
to customers on the basis of this 6-
pound allowance per person per
mohtn, and hence are limited to the
amount actually necessary to supply
their regular suctomers. Restaurants
ard hotels are likewise strictly limit
ed to this allowance. Atlanta hotels
have stopped serving wheat flour en
tirely.
