A GOOD LAXATIVE

Black-Draught Recoin trended bj,
an Illinois Lady, WwTsayS-It
Helps Her.—■‘‘Fine for
the Liver.”
'* St. Elmo, Ill. —“I have used Black-
Draught for three years," says Mrs.
J. W. Boyd, a well-known member of
this community. “1 was visiting a
friend who had used iff or sorbe time.
I was in need of ii laxative and 1 had
a burning in my Stomach. I was con
stipated. She gave me . a dose of
Black-Draught aijcHt helped me, so I
used it from then on. It certainly
benefited me. I think it is fine for the
liver, too. lam glad to recommend it.
< “One day our pastor was visiting
U 3, and he said his system seemed,
clogged and asked me to give him
something to take. I gave him Black-
Draught. He was much pleased with
the results and bought a package,
himself.”
Constipation forces the system to
absorb poisons that should be thrown
out, causing pain, discomfort and tend
* iiig to undermine your health. Black-
Draught helps to relieve this condition
by acting on the bowels, and by
regulating the liver when it is torpid,
thus helping to drive out many poi
sons in an easy, natural way.
Don’t take chances! At the first in
dication of constipation, take Black-
Draught. Costs only a cent a dose.

end of his career, we are compell
ed to regard him as a child of des
tiny. From hie birth at Staunton,
Va., in 1856, he goes, step by step,
through those processes of prep
aration which were unmistakably
of Providential appointment, for th e
•positions of honor and responsi
bility that he was to hold—presi
dent of Princeton, governor of New
Jersey, and as president of the
United States. At th e outbreak of
the war, which he had done every
thing in his power to avoid, the
fnipds of the hosts of his country
men turned to him in the spirit of
Mordecav’j words to the young
queen, ‘Who knoweth but thou art
come to the kingdom for such a
tim e as this?’
“During his first term as presi
dent, hik genius and statesmanship
was displayed in maintaining his
country’s rights when, as a neu
tral pioneer hre rights were be
ing ruthlessly and repeatedly as
sailed. Without compromising
America’s dignity and honor, he
did all that diplomacy could do to
avert the awful strife that at last
was precipitated just after his sec
ond term began. America has
hardly seen a more constructive
period, so far as domestic legisla
tion is concerned than the first
half of his tenure of office proved
to be. While many achievements
of exceeding value, to the Ameri
can people might be noted as a
result of these four years, the
work of the succeeding four has
held these in eclipse, for people
generally, so gripping is the con
templation of the last half of his
administration.
“As commander-in-chief of the
army and navy, his sagacity and
foresight, his courage and determi
nation, his faith in his country and
in his cause, his hope for democ
racy and for the world, his sin
cerity of purpose to help to bring
in a more certain era of peace
among all the nations, and above
all his adherence in heart to the
simple faith ihat he had cherished
from childhood in th e wisdom and
justice of the Infinite, constituted
him, at once, the military genius
of his country, the support and
inspiration of the boys in khaki
wherever they stood, the seer and
counsellor of the allied nations, and
the formidable, inevitable conquer
er of* our enemies.
“During those twenty tragic
months his purpose did not slack
en and his faith did not fail. All
the powers of his remarkable per
sonality were dedicated to his coun
try, and all the resources of the
country were concentrated in a
mighty purpose and prayer to
achieve a speedy and lasting vie
troy that there might be secured
a guarantee of rest from war and
dnduring peace for all nations. The
war ended November 11, 1918, up
on the signing of the* armistice, and
the joy of the American people
knew no bounds. .
“Hardly had the beep
signed before political antagonists
at home, through envy and unre
lenting hatred, because Wilson’s
convictions were against their hope
.of political success, effected a
clever organization to hound him
to death. To accomplish this, his
adversaries resorted to insincere
and humiliating devices. From
that time on, in every vicissitude,
he was beset by desertions. K'ow
many turned against him, who were
once like 'bright satellites about
him. How many of them fell by
the way! But he was constant as

the North star amid a shower of
swerving dodging meteors. Defy
ing ! meeting like the great
Columbus, his hope never dimmed,
his purpose never weakened, Wood
row Wilson’s life was a chapter of
wonderfully consistent logic. No
orator can ever adorn it. No de
tractor will ever .deface it.
“Having been insidiously de
prived of the fruits of victory, just
when they were within reach of
him, despite th e millions of lives
and billions of money the war had
cast our he turned away
to identify himself forever with
those gallant sons of America, who
for the cause of democracy and
their country, had made the su- i
preme sacrifice and his life from j
that crisis began ebbing away
“Since retiring from the qpresi- j
defley March 4, 1921, Mr. Wilson •
has lived in comparative seclusion, j
During these years of invalidism, !
he had realized the severity of his J
affliction and had calmly waited, i
He was able to have only a modest
part in the inauguration of his suc
cessor, and Mr. Harding’s rights to
honor, as the chief magistrate were
jealously guarded by Mr. Wilson,
throughout th e Harding administra
tion. That Harding should have
Preceded Wilson to the grave was a
shocking surprise to the world, and
Mr. Wilson entered personally in
to the feeling of the country’s
great loss in Mr. Harding’s untime
ly death. Since Mr. Cooldige was
brought by the death of Mr. Hard
ing to the president’s chair, his
kindness to Mr- Wilson had been
very pronounced and will always
stand as a striking evidence of the
magnanimity of our present chief
executive.
“Mr. Wilson’s death brought
special shock to Georgia, for it
was here that the days of his
youth were spent, and for a year,
after being admitted to the bar,
he practiced law in Atlanta. In
early manhood he married Miss
Ellen Louise Axson, of Rome, who
aTter 29 years died and whose body
sleeps in Georgia soil. Thus have
our Georgia ties upon him been
strong ail the while.
“We do not say that Mr. Wil
son was without faults. We do
not attribute to him the quality of
perfection. But we are compelled
to say that he died a tragie death
and that he deserves to be num
bered among the martys. All the
same, he has fought a good fight he
has kept the faith and amid
disaster and the wreck of the world
he has held up the banner of
truth and honor and freedom fqr
all men.
“He stands before us in mem
ory now as a concrete
ol life’s unfinished task, iMvt? ’
Livingstone devoted thirty years of 1
his life to Africa an J traveled *
miles to takcL that con
| rinent the blessing.; %1 the JX-vj*- j
tian religion and to open that ;and 1
for legitimate traffic; but he died j
before his task w?.?r done. Here ;
stands before us simply another 1
broken column. One man , cart'd
•io it all.. The limitation* of hi*
life with all its powers, and the
vicissitudes that mark his way,
both tell him sufficiently that 'it
is not in man that Ifveth to direct
his steps.’ In the Book of Kings,
we read only a few verses apart,
again and again the, statement
‘there reigned in his stead,’ as these
transient kings had their day and
ceased to be.
“A great leader ha s fallen. How
ndbly has he earned all the hon
ors that all these organizations
and all this assembled host can
pay. He has left us a great ex
ample. His clear eye, scholarly
insight, prophetic vision pointed
out the way of peace on earth and
good will toward men. But the
world wasn’t ready. Anyhow, we
havg the measure of a man with
virtues which entitle him to rank
among the best and greatest men
of our history. His was a clear
head, a brave heart, a compre
hensive grasp of the great prob
lems of government, a sublime
simplicity of purpose and desire
for the rights and liberties of all
nations upon th e earth. As the
substance outweighs the shadow,
we shall continue to believe that
the truth which Woodrow Wilson
taught and for which he gave his
i life was not a shadow but a di
vine light, the radiance of which
shall yet illumine the world.’’

ABSORBED like a‘liniment and at the same time
INHALED as a vapor, Vicks gets immediately into
congested, inflamed air passages
Never neglect a chest cold.
It’ allowed to “hang on” it means lung
tissue weakened, air passages predisposed to
infection. There is then dagger of pneumonia *
and pneumonia is now more deadly than
tuberculosis.
When a cold goes down deep, with soreness,
tight breathing and a heavy, hollow cough, apply
hot wet towels over throat and chest to open
the pores of the skin.
Massage briskly with Vicks for five minutes,
then spread on thickly and, cOver-with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloth's. Leave the bed -
clothing loose about the neck so that the vapors
arising may be freely inhaled. These yapors,
inhaled with each breath, carry the medication
directly to the affected pans.
At the same time, the penetrative and stimu
lative effect ofVicks through the skin increases
the circulation of the blood -throughout the
chest region, atfd thus helps to relieve the tight
ness and congestion.
For Spasmodic Croup, Children's Colds
Rub Vicks over the throat and chest until the
difficult breathing *s relieved, then spread on
thickly cover with a hot flannel doth. One
application at bedtime hsuallv prevents a night
attaik of croup
For Head Colds, Asthma,Catarrh,Flay Fever
—Vicks should be melted in a spoon and the
vapors inhaled, or a little can be applied up the
nostrils and snuffed well back up the head.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA SHOWS WHY RAILROADS
ARE INTERESTED IN TAX REVISION
Proposals for reductions and readjustm er.ts of federal tax levies have been made.
While there may be differences of opinion as to method, there can be no doubt about the
wisdom of lightening and equalizing this burden of governmental expense which is felt
by every person in the country.
This tax burden is borne by those who often do not realize that they pay taxes at
all. It has been estimated that one dollar out of every six spent by consumers goes for
taxes—federal, state, county and municipal. Taxes, because they enter into the cost of
production, are in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the rent we pay.
Every business man who has any control over his selling prices adds his taxes to
his operating costs, then not infrequently adds a little more to make it even money and
passes the total on to his patrons. Taxes up cn buildings are paid in the end by rents.
Taxes paid by manufacturers and distributor s are passed on to the consumer. As tax
burdens increase the cost of living they create a demand for increased wages, and
increased wages in turn are reflected in high er prices paid by everyone. Taxes are a
part of the cost of conducting every form of business, and they inevitably form a part
of the prices established for the goods or services produced in every field of productive
industry. Regradless of who pays the taxes in the first instance, in the end they are
paid by farmers, business men, mechanics, 1 aborers and all other classes of our population.
Indirect taxes are paid by more persons than direct taxes. Among those who pay
indirect taxes are the patrons of the railroads. Taxes the railroads pay are a part of the
cost of supplying transportation service and must be bonre by the public in freight and
passenger rates. Rahway taxes in 1923 amounted to $330,000,000, 5.2 per cent of their
gross earnings, or amost exactly S3OO for every man, woman and child in the United
States. But the- $330,000,000 paid by the railroads in 1923 for taxes represented only
their direct taxes. Indirect taxes enter into the costs of all materials and supplies
used by the railroads in their operation and are necessarily passed on to their patrons.
There are now extant more than $12,000,000,000 of tax-exempt securities..
Aside from the fact that such securities allow part of the population to evade income
taxation, the attractiveness of such investment has caused railway investment to appear
unattractive by comparison. To the extent that the ready sale of tax-exempt securities
encourages civic extravagance, it increases taxation in general and tends to saddle undue
burdens upon the public. To the extent that such sale helps to keep capital out of the
railroads, it prevents the railroads from installing the modern facilities that increase
efficiency and make possible reduction of rates •
Away must be found to change the channel >of investment of owners of large
incomes from tax-exempt securities into productive enterprises where the investors
assume some of the risks. If it is necessary to lower substantially the surtaxes of those
who have large incomes in order to encompass this change, it is in the interest of all of
us to lower them. Let us not make the mistake of injuring all classes of our people by
trying to punish one class. il
Our purpose in making this statement is to point out to our patrons that taxes are
re lectec! m the rates which they pay for transpotltion and to urge them to help them
selves and also help us by putting forth every proper effort to bring about a reduction in
‘V e belle^ e ' tbat few persons realize the extent to which freight and passenger rates
are affected by direct and indirect taxation.
C onstructive criticism and suggestions are invited. V" <-*• v* r *'■*

because it is an "outside” treatment. There
is no dosing to upset a child’s delicate stomach.
You just rub it on. »
Vicks is a combination in salve form of the
old, time-tested remedies for colds—Camphor,
Menthol, Eucalyptus and other volatile oils.
Being externally applied, it can he used as freely
and as often as- desired, even on the youngest
child, with perfect safety.
When the kiddies come in wet and ''sniffling”
Vicks is applied to prevent colds. An applica
tion at bedtime will usually prevent a night
attack of croup.
Just as good, of course, for the cold troubles of
adults —sore throat, tonsilitis, head and chest
colds, bronchitis, coughs.
Made at first in the back room of a little
drug store in North Carolina, Vicks has so con
sistently demonstrated its worth that now it is
more widely used than any other remedy of
its kind. •
How Vicks Should Be Used
For Deep Chest Colds, Sore Throat, Tonsil
itis, Bronchitis, Coughs Rub Vicks briskly
over the throat and chest. In severe cases first
redden the skin to open the pores (see direc
tions!. Then spread on thickly and cover with
one or two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths.
Leave the bedclothes loose about the neck so
that the vapors may be freely inhaled. If the
cough is annoying, a small piece the size of a
pea can be swallowed every two or three hour*.
