NOT BESPDNSIBLE
President of Central Rly. Shows
In Wide Maroin Between
Producer and Consumer
The wide margin between the
price;- received ny tne producer
ana that paid, by the consumer is
discussed by W. A. Winbum,
presiuent of the Central of Geor
gia Railway Company, in a state
ment appearing elsewnere in this
issue, air. Winburn’s discussion
is based on a recent editorial in
the Cochran, Ga., Journal, which
points out that a farmer who sells
a hog at 10 cents per pound on j
foot buys back boiled ham at 80 ;
cents per pound. The Cochran edi- '
tor asks how much freight was I
paid on the ham from Cochran to •
Moultrie, from Moultrie to Chica
go, from Chicago to Macon and
from Macon back to Cochran.
Although this journey is out oi
the ordinary, Mr. Winburi show
that the eitire freight amounts to
cnly 2 1-8 cents per pound, and of
the difference of 70 cents n<"
pound between the price received
'by the producer ana tnat paid oy j
the consumer, freight rates were ;
responsible therefore, for little •
more than 3 per cent. Something !
else is responsible for the othei I
f)7 per cent. Mr. Winburn de- ;
elates that freight rates are jnot a
governing factor in bringing about i
the spread in juice between pro
ducer and consumer, and that '
transportation rates are not handi- ■
capp’ug agriculture, but transpor \
tation service is the salvation of I
agriculture. The* railway execu- |
cutive agrees with the Georgia ;
Editor who concludes that the .
trouble lies in an unbusiness-like !
system of farming which forces !
products on the market in a. dis- I
orderlp manner, adversely affect- j
ing the farmer on one end and the i
consumer on the other.

CHANGE_OF LIFE
Florida Lady Was in a Miserable
Condition, But Says She Found
Cardui Helpful, and
Got Weil.
Altha, Fla.—ln explaining how she
found Cardui so helpful during change of
lite, Mrs. Ella M. Bailey, of Route 2, this
place, said:
“i became so weakened it was an effort
for me io get around. I knew what was
the niat-er, but 1 felt like 1 couldn’t give
UD.
“1 just dragged, and I certainly was
nervous. 1 was so restless 1 could not
sit down long—yet so weak 1 couldn’t
get about. It is a most miserable and
such a helpless feeling.
“1 would get depressed and out of
heart.
“1 began to feel, after awhile, there was
no use to try to get well. This is all
wrong, for it makes a person worse.
"1 had heard of Cardui, and thought it
might strengthen me. A neighbor had
used it with good results.
"1 took one bottle (of Cardui), then 1
saw 1 wasn’t so nervdus, so kept it uo.
“Gradually the nervousness left me.
I began to eat and sleep better. Was
soon well, and all right. Cardui did
wonders for me, and I certainly do
recommend it.”
Thousands of other women have writ
ten, to tell of the beneficial results obtain
ed by taking Cardui, and to recommend
it to others.

FRENCH PF.OPLE EATING
MORE HORSE MEAT
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. (By-
Associated Press) Consumption
of horse meat as an article of daily
diet is increasing in France, the
Department of Commerce is in
formed, and the apnual slaughter
of horses is estimated at 'about
120,000 head. 01 this number
about 100,000 are of French ori
gin, while the greater portion of
the balance is imported from
Great Britain.
The advantages claimed for
horse meat are its comparative
cheapness and nutritive qualities.
It s sale is regul.ited by law to
avoid its substitution for other
meats and it is usually sold in
butcher shops especially adapted
for that purpose.
The Roman Catholic nuns in the
world are said by a statistician to
number nearly 470,000.

He walked down the avenue as
rapidly as possible, his hands in
his pockets, his head bent to the
wind, no longer transported; forc
ing his mind to dwell on tlie warmth
of his rooms and his bed. . . .
His head ached. He’d go to the of
fice tomorrow and write his column
there. ■ Then think things out.
How was he to win such a woman?
Make her sure of herself? Convert
her doubts into a passionate cer
tainty? She, with her highly tech
nical past! Make no mistakes? It
he made a precipitate ass of him
self—what comparisons!
His warm bed . . . the complete
and personal Isolation of his rooms
. . . he had never given even a
tea to women ... he gave his
dinners in restaurants. . . . How
many more blocks? The snow was
thicker. He couldn't, even see the
arcade of Madison Square Garden,
although a faint diffused radiance
high in the air was' no doubt the
crown of lights on the Metropoli
tan Tower. . . . Had he made a
wrong move in bolting ”
His thoughts and counter
thoughts came to an abrupt end.
At ths corner of Thirtieth street
he collided with a small figure in
a fur coat and nearly knocked it
over. He ws for striding on with
a muttered apology, when the girl
caught him by the arm with a light
laugh.
“Lee Clavering! What luck! Take
me home.”
He was looking down into the
dark naughty little face of Janet
Oglethorpe, granddaughter of the
redoubtable Jane.
on earth are you doing
here?” he asked stupidly.
“Perhaps I’ll tell you and per
haps I won’t. On second thoughts
don’t take me home. Take me to
one of those all-night restaurants.
That’s just the one thing I haven’t,
segn, and I’m hungry.”
He subtly became an uncle. “I'll
do nothing of the sort. Yon ought
to be ashamed of yourself—alone
in the streets at this hour of the
night. It must be one o’clock. I
shall take you home. I suppose
you have a latch-key, but for two
cents I’d ring the bell and hand you
over to your mother.”
“Mother went to Florida today
and dau’s duck hunting in South
Carolina. Aunt Mollie’s too deaf
to hear doorbells and believes any
thing I tell her.”
“I am astonished that your
mother left you behind to your own
devices.”
"I wouldn’t go. She’s given me
up—used to my devices. Besides.!
I’ve one or two on tier and she
doesn't dare give me away to dad.
Ho thinks I’m a darling spoilt child
Not that I’d mind much if he didn't,
but it’s more convenient.”
“You little wretch! I believe
you're been drinking.”
“So I have! So 1 have! But
live got ;n asbestos lining am!
could staEd .mother tall one. Ah!”
Her eyes .sparkled. “Suppose you
take me to your rooms ”
“I’ll take you home ”
“You'll take me to one of those
all-nighters ”
“I shall not.”
“Then ta ta! I’ll go home by
myself. I’ve had too good a time
tonight to bother with old fogies.”
She started up the street and
Clavering hesitated but a moment.
Her home was on East Sixty-fifth
street. Heaven only knew what
might happen to her. Moreover,
although her mother was one of
those women whose insatiable de
mand for admiration bored him. he
had no more devoted friends than
her father and her grandmother.
Futhermore, his curiosity was
roused. What had the little devil
been up to?
He overtook the Oglethorpe flap
per and seizing her band drew it
through his arm.
“I’ll take you where you can get
a sandwich,” he said. “But I’ll not
take you to a restaurant. Too like
ly to meet newspaper men.”
“Anything to drink?”
“Ice cream soda.”
“Good Lord!”
“You needn’t drink it. But you'll
get nothing else. Come along or
I’ll pick you up and carry you to
the nearest garage.”
She trotted obediently beside
him, a fragile dainty figure; car
ried limply, however, and little
more distinguished than flappers of
inferior origin. He led her to a
rather luxurious delicatessen not:
far from his hotel, kept by enter
prising Italians who never closed
their doors. They seated them-i
selves uncomfortably at the high
counter, and the sleepy attendant
served them with sandwiches, then
retired to the back of the shop. He
was settling himself to alert repose
when Miss Oglethorpe suddenly
changed her mind and ordered a.
■chocolate ice cream soda. Then
she ordered another, and she ate six
sandwiches, a slice of cake and
two bananas.
“Great heaven!” exclaimed Clav
ering. “You must have the stom
ach of an ostrich.”
‘Klan eat nails and drink fire
water.” •
“Well, you won’t two years
hence, and you’ll look it, too.”
“Oh, no I won’t. I'll marry when
I’m nineteen and a half and settle
down."
“I should say you were heading
the other was. Where have you
been tonight?”
“Donny Farren gave a party in
his rooms and passed out just as
he was about to take me home.- I
loosened his collar and put a pil
low under his head, but I couldn't
lift him, even to the sofa. Too fat."
"I suppose you pride yourself on
being a good sport.”
“Rather. If Donny’d been ill I’d
have stayed with him all night, but
Tie was dead to the world.”
“You say he had- a party. Why
didn’t some of the others take you
home?"
“Ever hear about three being a
crowd? Donny, naturally, was all
for taking me home, and didn’t
show any signs of collapse till the
last minute.’*
“But I should think fgr de
cency's sake you’d all have gone
down together.” s
i “Lord! v How old fashioned you
■are. I was finishing a cigarette
and never thought of it.” She
■opened a little gold mesh bag, took
out a cigarette and lit it. Her
cheeks were flushed under the rouge

smudge of black under her lower
lashes and even on her eyelids. Ro
had never seen her quite so bla
tantly made up before, but then he
had seen little of her sinse the ba
ginning of her first season. He
rarely went to parties, and she was
almost as rarely in her own home or
her grandmother’s. Her short hair
curled about her lace. In spite of
her paint, she looked like a child —a
greedy child playing with life.
"Look here!” he said. “Ifow far
do you go?”
"Wouldn’t you like to know?”
"I should. Not for-personal rea

to extinction, but you've a certain
sociological interctat. 1 wonder '
you are really any worse than your
I predecessors?"
"I guess girls have always been
human enough, but we have more
opportunities. We’ve made ’em.
This is our age and we’re enjoying
it to the limit God! What stupid
times girls must have had —some
of them do yet. They’re naturally
goody-goody, or their parents are
too much for them. Not many,
though. Parents have taken a
back seat.”
“I don't quite see what you get
out of it —guzzling, and smoking
your nerves out by the roots, and
making yourselves cheap with men
little older than yourselves.”
"You don't see, I suppose, why
girls should have their fling, or” —
her voice wavered curiously—
"why youth takes naturally to
youth. I suppose you think that is
a cruel thing for a girl to say.”
“Not in the least,” he answered
cheerfully. ‘‘Don't mind a bit But
what do you get out of it —that’s
what I'm curious to know.”
She tossed her head and blew a
perfect ring. "Don't
that girls never really enjoyed life
before?"
“It depends upon the point of
view, I should think.”
"No, there’s a lot more in it than
you guess. The girls used to sit
around waiting for men to call and
| wondering if they’d condescend to
i show up at the next dance; while
i the men fairly raced after the girls
! with whom they could have a free
and easy time —no company man
ners, no chaperons, no prudish af
fectations about kisses and things!
No fear of shocking it they wanted
to let go—the strain must have
been awful.” \

If Back Hurts
Flush Kidneys
Drink Plenty of Water and Take
Glass of Salts Before Break
fast Occasionally
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 kea
your bowels clean, by flushing th HA
with a mild, harmless salts which helj|p
to remove the body’s urinous waste
and stimulate them to their normal
activity.
The function of the kidneys 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 kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water —you can’t
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Saits. Take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for a few days and your kidneys
may then act fine.. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in the system so
they are no longer a source of irrita
tion, thus often relieving bladder weak
ness,
Jad Salts in inexpensive; can not in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to help keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this; also
keep up the water drinkipg, and no ■
doubt you will wonder what became of "
your kidney trouble and backache. By
all means nave your physician examine
your kidneys at twice a year.
