WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1923 HO* OOCIK TREAT COLDS ' MTHE FLU First Step in Treatment Is Calo tabs the Purified and Refined Calomel Tablets That Are Nauscaless, Safe and Sure. Doctors have found bv experience that no medicin e for colds, coughs, sore throat and inflicnza can be de pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly active. That is why the first step in th e treatment is the- nausealess calomel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influenza and colds and is one of the most important factors in en abling the patient to successfully withstand an attack and ward off pneumonia. One or two Calotabs at bed time, with a swallow of water—that’s all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating, pleasure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Gen uine Calotabs ar e sold only in orig inal sealed packages, price thirty five cents for the large, family, package; ten cents for the small, vest-pocket, size.

(Special)—An appeal for obser vance of the laws of God and man, • together with prayers of grateful-! ness for the fruits and achieve ments (luring the past year, is con tained in an official Thanksgiving proclamation issued by Governor Clifford Walker. Calling attention to the time honored custom of Americans in observance of a day of thanksgiv ing and remainding Georgians that it was a Georgian who first in augurated the now national cus tom of setting aside a day espe cially for giving thanks to God for his manifold blessings. Gover nor Walker’s proclaimation is ap propriately significant of this wholly American holiday. The official proclamation - of the governor follows: To the people of Georgia: In compliance with a custom which is immemorial and in conformity to the proclamation of the president of the United States, I. Clifford Walker, governor of Georgia, do hereby designate Thursday, Novem ber 29, 1923, as a day of pulblu thanksgiving end prayer. On the 21st day of July, 1722, Governor Oglethorpe, the founder of our state, issued the first executive or der for the observance of a day of Thanksgiving for the Divine deliverance of the colony from the invasion of the Spanish, and follow ing the time-honored custom of our fathers, you are urged to refrain from labor and in church and home return thanks to God for the var ied evidences of Divine favor and the many blessings which our peo ple have been permitted to enjoy. There is no day so wholly Amer.' can as Thanksgiving day; no day when greater opportunity is of- sered for reviving our patriotism and making manifest our love of state and county. Let me urge that there be a general display of flags, emblem of that citizenship for which every true American heart beats with thnaksgiving. i The result of the observance of . the laws of God and of man are I peace, sobriety, health , happiness I and plenty. You are earnestly re i qoested to offer special prayer for law enforcement and especially those laws enacted for the pur- I pose of helping the people to be come sober, self-governed and I law-abiding. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Georgia. Done at the eapitol, this twenty-first day of November, 1923, CLIFFORD WALKER, Governor. By the Governor: S. G. McLendon, Secretary of State. ROAD TO BROWN’S MILL OPEN AFTER WASHOUT J. C.

Friday, Nov. 30, St. Andrew’s Day. Evening prayer, 7:30 P. M. M'GREGORIEFENDS - AD VALOREM SYSTEM Commissioner of Pensions, In Statement, Upholds Present Georgia Tax Methods ATLANTA, Nov. 28. (Special) In an open letter addressed to the members of the general assembly, 6. E. McGregor, commissioner of pensions, urges adherence to the ad valorem system of state taxa tion, repeal of the tax equalization law and defeat of any "commercial ized theories of taxation.’’ Major McGregor also defends ' ne Milner cigarette and cigar tax bill, enacted at the regular session, and describes the tax collected on these commodities as a "voluntary contri bution” toward payment of the Confederate pensions and the build ing of a new tuberculosis sani tarium on the ground that any man who does not wish to pay the tax ‘can smoke a pipe or roll his own cigarettes.” The letter, which was given out Saturday, in full, is as follows: To the Members of the General Assembly: I Georgia has never officially abandoned the theory that this is a government “of the people, for the people and by the people,” until she does, her mandates to you through properly-constituted con ventions, should not be by untried economics, or the adop tion of commercialized theories by "commissions” selected and chosen for so great a purpose. You are up against that issue to day, and will be Monday and Tues day. How are you going to solve it? Will you abandon the ad va lorem and uniformity theory, for mulated by Toombs, Stephens, Cobb, Johnson and other statesmen and political economists, adopted by the constitutional convention of 1877, i and under which Georgia grtew grew from abject poverty in 1870 to opulence and the Empire State of the South, for untried theories, some of, which the United States government, with, all its power, has been unable to enforce, and which are are annually defied end circum vented bv large corporations and millionaire capitalists, or will you repeal the present unjust, monarch ial equalization law, as demanded by the voters who elected you, re enact the Toombs, Stephens, et al. theory, and put teeth into it to en force it? The constitution amendment of 1918, demanded provision for the payment of pensions to Confederate veterans and the widows of Confed erate veterans and that provision should no longer be ignored nor de layed. Legislation looking to the fulfillment of that demand has been enacted and then murdered by ex ecutive veto, and the state is now indebted to the heroes and widows of heroes who preserved constitu tional liberty in America, by over two million dollars. Shall that debt be liquidated? The people of Geor-. gia, at the election in 1922, ans wered yes, by defeating the candi date who had ignored tae debt end electing the candidate who pledged •fealty to the veterans and their rights. You recognized the priority of this debt when you accorded to the patriotic appeal of the senate to provide some additional revenue to the present ad valorem revenue, by which this sacred pledge could be redeemed. You nobly and quickly responded, by the enactment of the Milner bill, putting a 10 per cent tax on cigarets and cigars, whic|i the senate accepted and which pass ed and was approved by the gover nor, August 15, 1923. Please read said Milner pct care fully. It is not a "tax” 'but a vol untary assessment, for humanita rian and patriotic purposes, upon those who wish to indulge their taste, fancy or idosyncracy. The 10 per cent is a vountary contribu tion ; no man can be compelled to pay itt; he can smoke a pipe or roll his cigarettes and escape it. The fears expressed that the en forcement of the Milner act will IT DRIVES OUT WORMS The surest sign of worms in children is paleness, lack of interest in play, fretful ness, variable appetite, picking at the nose and sudden starting in sleep.

The statement shows that 75 per cent of the crop is shipped to England, and therefore, is not made into cigarets or cigars, and Georgia is not affected. Before the enact ment of the Milner act the Georgia tobacco averaged 21 cents per pound; since its enactment, the sales of Georgia tobacco has av eraged 25 cents per potmd. Re spectively submitted.

November 28.—More than one-half of the 750 members of the freshmen class at the University of North) Caro lina are wholly dependent cn them selves for support, and are work ing their way through college as self-help students, according to Dean Francis F. Bradshaw. A study of the matriculation cards made by the dean reveals also that students are not following in the footsteps of their fathers in choosing their life work.
