TUESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 18, 1923 PUN Nt* Ll* TH 110 IN CDLLECTING TIE Comptroller General Will Rec ommend “Enforcement Stat ute” to Next Legislature ATLANTA, Sept. 18.—Comp troller General Wm. A. Wright will recommend to tne legislature in November the enactment of a very' simple additional (statutory provision which, he says, will en tirely solve the matter of full col lection of funds and equall enforce ment of the tobacco stamp law in kthe state. F For some time reports have been coming in that certain communi ties in the state were not going to voluntarily comply with the law and, for that reason, there would be extreme danger that it would not realize the funds expected from it, since no enforcement machin ery is provided in the act creating the tobacco stamp tax. General Wright now suggests and will recommend the enactment of an entirely separate bill, to be known as enforcement till, which shall require all dealers in cigars, cigarettes and tobacco in any form to register with the ordinary of the county annually, on or before January Ist, or at the time of commencement of business in any calendar year, for which 50 cents or sl, to be paid to the ordinary. This fee, General Wright says, is a nominal item in view of the fact that the Milner law removes all oc cupational tax, now carried in the general tax act, on tobacco deal ers. The same bill would be made to provide that each registered dealer shall make application for the requisite stamps in duplicate, the original to be forwarded, with the cash, to the .comptroller gen eral’s office, and the duplicate to be filed with the ordinary in the county where the business is done, and such duplicates and registra tions to be checked by the ordin ary. In this way, General Wright says, the state will get an accurate check on the payment of the stamp tax by the retail dealer, and the violation of either or- both provis ions of the proposed bill should be made a misdemeanor for each in stance. The matter of the designs for the different denomination of the stamps will be decided upon by General Wright in the course of the next few weeks, and the stamns will be printed and ready by the first of the year, when the law becomes effective. Confederate generals and emblems will in all | probability be used in all the de 9 signs.

WEDNESDAY ::5~ RYLANDER Wife” 10c —20c—25c BULLBATS ARE VALUABLE AS INSECT DESTROYERS NEW YORK, Sept. 18. ln many communities the shooting of bullbats has been going on in this year of Grace, 1923, although in every state where the bird is found it is protected by state lavys. In ad dition to this there is a federal law imposing a fine of SSO for ev ery one of these birds that is kill ed. The reason that the law-mak ers of our kind have enacted stat utes of this nature is because that of all the birds that wing their way over our fie’ds and forests there is rot one more valuable as an insect destroyer than the Bullbat. About various vi’Jagiu these bir 1 • gather in the late summer evenings to hawk for insects. Many men, eith er through ignorance or in defiance of the law, amuse themselves by testing their marksmanship. Some times the birds are eaten, often they] are simply lying where they fall.

The forces of life seem to imbue every part of his organism with energy, activity and all charac teristics opposed to things inanimate. He can hardly avoid being ambitious. And consequently success, with all its splendid rewards, comes to such a man in abundance. Lite to such a mail should be resplendent with worthy achievements. You must have strength of body. You cannot have too much strength. The more nearly you feel like a strong man the more can you achieve in the desired direction. All success ful men are, and have been, men of tremendous energy. Their achieve ments have been simply the expres sion of the vitality and nerve force which can no more be repressed than the power of an engine when it has once been liberated. Success is due to the dynamic quality of energy. It is true that physical energy and bod ily strength are not sufficient for suc cess in all fields. One must have ap titude for his chosen work. Your energy must be directed in the propet channels, but without this energy and vitality you can accomplish virtually nothing. Vitality means normal functioning. When the organs of the body are all performing their duties satisfactorily, you can practically be sure of a plen tiful supply of vitality. So it can truly be raid that proper functioning' is the secret ot power. The most important of all func tional processes begins in the stom ach. There is where the bloodmak ing process commences, and since a man is what the blood makes of him, you can realize the tremendous im portance of this particular function If the digestion is carried on prop erly, and the blood is made rich in those elements that add to life, health and strength, then the functions of the stomach are being properly per formed. Pure blood depends upon the per fect and continuous excretion of the wastes formed in the body through the processes of life, and without keeping the blood pure in this man ner the body rapidly becomes poi soned by its own waste products, with the result that health, vitality and even life are lost. It is true that internal strength is more important than external mus cular strength, but the fact is that they go together. As a general thing, by building muscular strength, one is ible at the same time to develop in ternal 'strength. The influence of exercise, in purifying the Hood and in promoting activity in all the internal organs really strengthens the •“de partments of the interior” at the same time that it develops the muscles con cerned- THE STANDARD ♦ ♦ ♦ Our reputation for the lowest prices in Americus is firmly estab lished.
