Judge Meldrim did not sign the

Thirteen boxes were counted and

yesterday morning just before noon
directed that they be opened and
counted. The consiladiton was be
fore the judges of the election with
all the managers, Stewart and Sea
brook, present and no protest was
made to the finding of the board of
election judges.
There is no announcement of fur
ther action in contest or protest.

my husband bought

in my left side so
bad that I could
hardly do my work.
Before I was mar
ried I used to work
in the factory, and I
had pains just the same then as I have
had since I have done my housework. I
would not be without a bottle in the
house now. It has stopped the pains all
right and I have found out that it is a
wonderful body builder, as it has made
me well and strong. It is going to be
the ‘old reliable’ with me hereafter,
and I am always willing to tell other
women how it has helped me. You can
use this letter as you wish as I can hon

Coue Makes 'Em
Forget Ills
NEA Staff Correspondent
BY MILTON BRONNER
ANCY, France,Jan.
111.—The thing that '
differentiates the ;
auto -suggestion ,
clinics held byMon- .
sieur Emile Coue ■
I from any clinics I
!in the world to
'which suffering
j people go is this:
■ we laugh, with Coue
and at ourselves.
Lots of us come
here with aches
and pains, but
somehow, Coue, the i
ggL
magician, drives away the tears and !
makes the smiles come. I think one j
of the reasons for this is the simple .
humaness of the man.
He can reprove when reproof is
necessary, but he prefers to joke
with us and make us joke, too.
One day when I was there an in
tellectual woman, after hearing him
explain how ancient a thing auto
suggestion is, said rather cattily:
“In other words you have discover
ed the moon.”
“No madame,” he replied, with ,
fine dignity, ‘but I have learned how
to teach you to walk by its light in j
your darkness.”
Treating Rheumatism
Over in a corner sits a husky look- ;
ing peasant woman in black. Her ;
toil-worn hands show how she has la
bored beside her husband on the '
farm. She has trouble using her |
right arm and think she has rheuma- '
tics.
Coue strokes the sleeve of
. Coue rapidly strokes the sleeve of ,
her blouse, bidding her say afte<r I
him—“Ca passe, ca passe, ca passe.”
“It is going away, it is going away, |
it is going away.” Only he wants her
to say it so rapidly it sounds like a
big bee buzzing endlessly. Then i
Coue straightens himself.
“How does the arm feel now?”
“Much better.”
“Hit me hard with your right fist.”
She strikes him on the chest.
“Hit harder.”
She almost knocks him down.
Coue smilingly suggests she now
go home and hit her husband that
way.
“Oh no, monsieur. He would hit I
me back.’
Playing Game of Tag
Enter another type. She is French
bourgeois, perhaps 65, in black, with
her old fashioned gold chain and
locket around her throat.
She has come in walking painfully,
Coue ‘ca-passes” her. Then 1.
slowly by the aid of a cane. Mo i i0.;.-
gests she get up and try to walk.
She looks for her cane, Vut Coue
gives her his hanil and like an an
cient gallant in the time of King
Louis, leads her across the room.
“It’s like a minuet,” he says gailv.
“Now again, madame.”
He gently drops her hand.
“Now’ walk by yourself.”
She does so.
“Oh, but faster:”
She increases her speed.
“Now walk after me and catch
me.”
Coue walks around the table, the
old lady walks fast after him. Then
she goes back to her chair, seemingly
none the worse for this to her un
heard of exertion.
“Oh, one more exercise,” says
Coue.
He gives her the cane and tells
her to walk and to carry it on her
shoulder like a French soldier on the
march. She docs so. And there are
women in the crowd who smile
through tears at what seems a
veritable miracle to them.
Exception Proves Rule.
All except one old woman, whose
checks are fever-red with excite
ment and pain. She starts to give
t oue a catalog of her numerous
aches. Coue says something. The
old lady catches only the word
“mind.”
“I am not sick in my mind,” she
snaps. “I am sick in my body.”
“Ah, but you are sick in the
mind.”
“You can’t fool me,” she says d|-
terminedly.
“Dear lady, I am not trying to fool
you. We are going to help your
body through your mind.”
He “ca-passes” her and she is sure
he hasn’t helped her much. But
the next day she is back again. And
she smiles at Coue.
Tomorrow Bronner describes
“cures” of fellow patients.

alyzing 9-2-3 and 8-4-4 acid phos

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AM) THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets That Are Nausealess,
Safe and Sure.
Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds, coughs,
sore throat and influenze can be de
pended upon for full effectiveness
until the liver is made thoroughly
active. That is why the first step in
the treatment is the new, nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs, which
are free from the sickening and weak
ening effects of the old style calomel.
Doctors also point out the fact that
an active liver may go a long way to
wards preventing influenza and colds
! and is one of the most important
factors in enabling the patient to
successfully withstand an attack and
ward off pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs on the tongue
at bed time, with a swallow of water
—that’s all. No salts, no nausea, nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next
; morning your cold has vanished, your
liver is active, your system is puri
fied, and you are feeling fine, with a
hearty appetite for breakfast. Gen
uine Calotabs’ are sold only in orig
inal sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents for the large, family package;
ten cents for the small vest-pocket
size. (adv)

ATLANTA, Jan. 11—Stock tak

to leading business men here and in
other sections, gives a feeling of
satisfaction as to the progress made.
Such is the optimistic note sound
ed by merchants manufacturers, agy>
riculturalists, builders and
men generally.
Business men and bankers here, ■
many of whom have important con
nections extending over the
whole of Dixie’s territory, are cer
taily in a postion to diagnose the
condition of commercial and econo
mic affairs. One of these is For
rest Adair, Sr., whose chain' lease
department in the big realty and
and trust company he heads keeps
in the closest possible touch with
economic conditions throughout the
country ,
The farmers of the nation, he
points out, received approximately
17 per cent more for their products
than they received a year a go, hence
the total volume of agricultural pro
ducts was worth much more’in 1922
than in 1921. As the farmer pros

Rub Pain from back with small
trial bottle of old
“St, Jacobs Oil.”
Back hurt you? Can't straight

sharp aches and twinges? Now listen!
That’s lumbago, sciatica or maybe

moment you mb your back with sooth

Nothing else takes out soreness, lame
ness and stiffness so quickly. You
simply rub it on your back and out
eomes the pain. It is harmless and
doesn't burn the skin.
Limber up! Don’t suffer! Get a
small trial bottle of old, honest “St.
Jacobs Oil” from any drug store, and
after using it just once, you'll forget
that you ever had backache, lumbago
or sciatica, because your back, will
never hurt or cause any more misery.
It never disappoints and has been rec
ommended for 60 years.
