SOUTH IS AFTER
EXPORT TRADE
TO SJMERICA
» ATLANTA, April 15.—Plans for the
organization of the South Atlantic
port cities anil a co-operative company
for carrying in export trade with Cen
tral and South American countries,
were discussed at a luncheon in At
lanta, with several nationally promi
nent men aig speakers. At the head
of the movement is Matthew Hale, of
Washingtc'i, president of the new
South Atlantic Maritime Corporation,
which has been allotted fourteen of the
new Government-built merchant ships
for operation between Latin-American
ports and Savannah, Jacksonville,
Brunswick, Charleston and Wilming
ton.
Georgia’s share of stock in the sl,-
000,000 oragnization was fixed a
$400,000. Atlanta was allotted SIOO,-
000 in stock, the largest of any city. 1
preliminary fund of $15,000 was sub
scribed and an organization commit
tee appointed which will immediately
begin its work of lining up the com
mercial and industrial interests of all
cities in the states affected through
securing the full subscription of tin
capitalization.
Mr. Haile, originator of the scheme,
addressing the meeting, explained that
much already had been accomplished
but the entire southeast should be or
ganized, he declared, for “never again
will the Southeast be offered such ar.
opportunity as it now has.”
The government is now willing and
ready to co-operate, Mr. Hale said
adding that the railroad rates are in ;
process of revision and “will be fixed
within two month''. If the Southeast
acts immediately it can secure what is
due it.” The government has ships tc
allot but, he declared, they will be as
signed within three months.
“This is the time to change expor
connections from New York to South
eastern ports,” Mr. Hale declared, be
cause “business in foreign countries
now is disorganized, and this is the
moment for the Southeast to make
business connections there.”
The five ports of the South Atlan
tic coast already have organized a
traffic department to assist in the big
export movement, and from the organ
ization built up by the war industries
board a year ago there is growing an
independent organization of Southern
manufacturers which has as its object
the establishment of South American
export business.
GLASS’OF SALTS ’
CLEANSKBNEYS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat
When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don’t get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body’s urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
mal activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
• Drink lots of water —you can’t drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; taka
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a cource of irri
tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
iithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache.

France, War Over, Ignores
Americans Who Crave Home,
Embarkation Ports Cheerless
By Jay Jerome Williams.
WASHINGTON, Ajril 16. —If the
people of the Atlantic seacoast towns,
which every day now see the return
of American soldiers, could picture
the cheerless, gloomy departure of
those soldiers from France, they
would keep the flags flying, bands
playing and all reception committees
goin gfull blast until ever ylast Yank
had stepped from overseas trans
ports.
The American doughboy, despite his
wonderful fighting ability, is senti
mental, and all the weary months
spent in a stronge land, among
strange people, w’ho somehow don’t
seem able to understand him, increase
the sentiment that overwhelms him
when he sees the shores of his home
land peering over the horizon.
To obtain a correct perspectice of
the average doughboy’s feelings one
must go back to those stirring days
of last spring and summer when the
German horde was sweeping over
France, and when France —chilled by
the dread of horrible invasion—waited
numbly for assistance.
End Changes Everything.
Then the khaki-clad columns of
American youths who stepped from
transports in practically every French
port, were hailed as deliverers. Noth
ing was too good for them. The pop
ulace greeted them with cheers.
Pretty girls tossed flowers and kisses
at them. Inland towns turned out
en masse to hail them as they
marched forward to that particular
bit of hades once known as west
ern front.
Those were the days when the
memory of Lafayette was awakened
and those were the days when the
Yankee doughboy struggled labori
ously to master the new language
and struggled a good deal more
laboriously to hold whatever the high
command happened to order him to
hold.
But—and one might say “alas!”—
times have changed. Once the words
“Fini le guerre” were heard, times
began to change. The thousands of
marching men, their work done,
have begun to retrace their steps to
the coast towns and to embark for
America.
No Flowers Now.
These past few months have seen
no flowers tossed to our soldiers,
niether have they seen the plaudits
of the crowds, neither have they seen
the happy comraderie that character
ized the other days when danger
threatened and we were the young
Colassus “come out the West.”
The doughboy cannot understand it.
To be sure, he does not expect enter
tainments, flowers and speeches, but
he would like - some little token of
gratitude and wonders why none is
forthcoming. This is not written in
condemnation of the French, for the
ignorance that a strange language
engenders prevents many a quiet
word of thanks to the Yank soldier
from the average French man or
woman.
And then, too, France is weary of
war and weary of men in uniform—
for the latter have constituted her
chief spectacle for the last four and
one-half years. The authorities, how
ever. cannot escape some criticicm.
Brest Jumping Off Place.
Brest is our chief embarkation port.
It is the jumping off place for the
American soldiers and he comes in
swarms to it every day. Ten months
ago when he came—from the
West and not from the East —
Brest welcomed him with all the
warmth she possessed. Today she
sends him away without a hand
shake. without a word—not even a
thank you.
And when one considers that this
same American soldier has traveled
to Brest through hundreds of other
little French towns and villages
where conditions are exactly the same,

one can also consider that he is apt
to leave France under the impression
that France was glad to have him
when he was useful, but also very glad
to have him depart now that his per
iod of usefulness is over.
Every Morning sees new transports
enter the harbor at Brest, sees hun
dreds of young Americans lined up
on the docks and wharves, waiting
to be carried to the ships anchored in
the bay. To these men the great day
>as come! their thoughts of France
cease, and once the transport pokes
her nose out beyond the headline
and into the Atlantic their thoughts
of home and what the home folks
think of them and what kind of a
reception the home folks will give
them, occupy all available time.
It’s Some Trip Across.
Some man who understands human
nature, and especially the nature of
an American soldier ,is doing great
work in Brest, for when the lighters
drew up alongside the transports the
Yank gets his first touch of home. A
sailor band, or an army band sent
ahead of the ship begins piping forth
"Over There”, and a thrill of expec-.
tancy can be seen on the faces of
hundreds of men waiting to board the
larger craft.
And whe nthe band blares into
that particular strain which says:
"And we won’t come back till it’s
over, over there,’ a mighty cheer
goes up.
It takes from seven to seventeen
days for a transport to cross the
ocean and tthe doughboy is traveling
steerage all the time. Now' steerage
is never comfortable, and it is tribly
uncomfortable when ten times as
many men are crowded into the steer
age than the space was ever intended
to hold. Going home, however, cov
ers a multitude of sins.
What They Say.
Os course, on every boat there are
gentry of a lugubrious turn of mind
and their conversation generally runs
something like this:
“Well, I s’pose there won’t be noth
in* doin’ for us when we get on the
other side. People are sick of the
war and soldiers. We didn’t get no
high sign o’ thanks from th’ frogs,
did we?”
Americans ain’t like them!” sev
eral will roar out in contradiction.
They appreciate what we dod.”
“Al right; just wait,” retorts the
lugubrious one.
And so it goes until the Nantucket
lightship heaves into view and a
mighty cheer is let loose.
A few days ago a Holland-Ameri
can liner came into New York with
2,000 troops on board.
Two days before the ship reached
New Tork a darkey doughboy was
taken down with pneumonia and the
next morning the doctors thought
he was a “goner” Sam, the darkey,
thought so, too, and the combination
of thoughts augured poorly for his
recovery. The liner steamed up the
bay at night and twinkling shore

STRONG i’oLDMAN -
75 YEARS YOUNG
Says ZIRON Iron Tonic Mad 3 Him Feel
Better, Eat Better and Sleep Better.
O. D. Blount, Tarrytown, Ga., writes:
"I am seventy-five years old, yet 1 have
been pretty strong until about a year ago.
I did not feel so well, I had a worn, tired
teeling, my body ached and 1 was not
myself. 1 would chill easily,—my blood
seemed thin, my flesh flabby and skin
not clear. I didn’t rest well and my ap
petite was poor. I heard of Ziron. how
it was helping others and it seemed to be
what I needed, too. 1 soon saw after 1
begin taking it that it was helping me.
! felt better in every way. 1 ate better,
I slept better. 1 took three bottles and
it helped me. 1 am glad to recommend
Ziron.” _
Ziron is indicated for anemia, pale com
plexion. poor blood, general weakness,
etc. When your blood needs iron, take
Ziron. Remember, if the first bottle don’t,

lights drew another mighty cheer
from the 2,000. One of Sam’s com
panions rushed to his bedside.
Sam Ain’t Sick.
“Jes’ seen agreat dight!” he ejacu-,
lated.
“Go ’long, Nigger, I’m sick,”
moaned Sam, whose fever, at 104, was
burning up his vitality, but his curi
osity got the btere tof him.
“What light you see?” he asked.
“Seen th’ great light shinin’ offen
th’ city of N’Yo’k!” rattled the other.
“Sho’ ’nuff?” questioned Sam, hov
ing a little more vitality than the
“Sh|j’ Nuff,” said his companion
and then added impressively ‘N’Yo’k
harbor. Oh, Sam, it sho’ do look
good!”
Sam’s fever broke next morning,
when New York appeared under the
brilliant sunshine his tempe’ature
had receded to 99, and the doctors
were astounded at his recuperative
powers. Needless to say, Sam is
now on the road to recovery—for he
is back in America.
Not Ashamed of Tears.
New York was resplendent next
morning and as the big liner steamed
up the narrows, many a tug boat
violated the injunction not to whistle
unnecessarrily and tooted the tootiest
kind of a noisy welcome to the re
trning boys.
In the distance came the boat
bearing the mayor’s reception com
mittee with flags flying and bands
playing. No American boy, as he
gazed over the rail, was shamed
of the tears that streamed down his
cheeks.
“America han't forgotten,” chimed
up the one time lugubrious one, and
what a cheer went up to chronicle
his defeat! And at the same time
the clinical thermometer, which the
excited Sab exuded from the recesses
of his capacious mouth for the bene
fit of the doctor registered 98 1-2
normal.
America hasn’t forgotten! These
words tell more than anything else
in the world and these words con
stitute the reason, the only reason
why every seacoast town into which
American soldiers from over seas dis
embark should keep flags flying,
bands playing and reception commit
tees going full blast untill the very
last Yank is back in the good old

ATLANTA, April 16.—A plan is be
ing perfected by the Baptist Home
Mission Board whereby country
churches which hitherto have been un
able to keep a pastor regularly and
hold weekly services, may be fur
nished witth regular preachers. It is
proposed by this plan to give residents
in the rural districts the same ad
vantages as are enjoyed by the urban
population as far as may be. The
scheme is called “enlistment” and will
be financed by an allotment of $30,000
from the $1,000,000 fund now being
states of the South and Southwest.
The initial $30,000 will be used in
working out the idea and determining
the most practical method of ha* dling
the problem.
The $1,000,000 fund, which must be
raised by April 30, will be used to
maintain and extend the various reli
gious and educational activities fos
tered by the Home Mission Board and
every Baptist is being urged to con
tribute his share to the enterprise.

Catarrhat dearness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
uflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blcod on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
