MONDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 18, 1924 / 10 LIUS AFFECT - BHMGEWI Negotiable Instrument* Act Re garded As Important / Legislation f ATLANTA, August 18. 'fie -most important law affecting the banking and business interests of Georgia in the last five years was enacted by the legislature which has just come to a. close. This is the uniform negotiable instruments act, now the law of ev ery state in the union, Georgia be ing the last to include it in its statues. The only business legis lation comparable to this act in a score of years was the banking law, passed in 1919, from which Georgia has reaped many advantages and has escaped many financial disasters during the stress of th e past five years. Nearly all of its provisions have been in ordinary usage in Georgia way back to traditional days, but the citations called for in a legal analysis of any interstate or inter national transaction required re search or familiarity with the whole body of the Georgia law and of all court decisions interpreting these laws. The practitioner outside of Georgia, not possessed of a com plete library of Georgia law books, bad th e greatest difficulty in giv ing an opinion with final assurance as to the Georgia law controlling such transactions. Under the new law this will all be different and the interstate trad ing in Georgia commercial paper will be free and untrammeled to a degree never before enjoyed. Ev ery lawyer is familiar with the ne gotiable instruments law, as it is called, or if not familiar with it, he can reach any citation desired in the smallest possible compass of time as contrasted with interminable rcasearch in the dusty tomes of law under the old order. All interests united to obtain its passage this year, but the most ac tive agency was the legislative committee of the Georgia Bankers’ association. Other legislation of importance to the banking and business inter ests passed by the 1924 legislature were an act permitting state banks to subscribe to the capital stock of agricultural credit corporations; permitting state banks to take a crop mortgage befor e the crop is planted; removing the allowance of 30 days to the drawer of a baa check in which to make god its pay ment, and providing for biennial sessions of the legislature, the last mentioned act involving a consti tutional amnedment subject to the ratification of the voters. SHORTWEIGHT BAKERS HELD IN GERMAN JAILS BERLIN, August 18.—There art a lot of master bakers of Germany b in jail for decreasing the size ol their loaves of bread last year and increasing the selling price. This fact came to light here during the annual convention of the German Association of Master Bakers, when n movement was launched to bring about the release of the imprisoned members. It was decided to ask the govern ment to grant an amnesty for al> the bakers who got into trouble dur ing the inflation period when the “bakers themselves had great diffi culties in making both ends meet and often did not know from where their next meal was coming.” WAYS OF WOMEN ARE STUDIED BY EXPERTS CHRISTIANIA, August 18.— What is believed by experts to have been a kind of vanity box used by the women of 2,009 years ago, and a neck-ring of solid gold, were un earthed recently on a farm by a peasant who gave the articles to his children for playthings. Collectors eventually heard of the discovery and induced the children to part with their ancient toys. The articles, in the judgment of the ex perts,date back to about 120 B. C. The ring, of artistic though barbaric design, has been placed in the mu seum of Christiania University, while the vanity box has been going the rounds among experts who are eager to determine if it contained a powder puff among its appurten ances, or, if not, what might have been in use to take its place in those days. ITALIAN PER CAPITA CIRCULATION GROWS ROME, August 16.—Money cir culation in Italy now amounts to about 520 lire per capita, as com pared with 77 lire in 1914.

D. Bruce’s expedition’s attempt to scale Mount Everest, has drawn an editorial at tack from the Osaka Mainichi, one of Japan’s greatest newspapers. This inactivity, the Mainichi as serts, is especially culpable at this time, when the American exclusion law has made it desirable for Japan to seek closer relations with her fel low Asiatics. “Our young men will go in great numbers to the usual summer re sorts this summer,” says the Main ichi, “but we regret to note that no Japanese are planning to take a part <n the great exploring adventures that are offered. We envy the Americans and British their bold scientific undertakings at great ev pense. They are not afraid of hard ship and danger. “Since Congress adopted the ex clusion clause, some Japanese have raised a vigorous propaganda for an Asiatic federation, with the support of some Chinese and Indians. These peoples seek Japan’s leadership. It is Japan’s duty to lead these other colored races to racial prosperity and welfare, but we must not be led astray by big names. First we must foster our national strength, strengthen the ties with our brother races in Asia and assist them in the advancement of Asiatic civilization. Our millionaires must make contri butions to this end, and our scien tists must enlist in the cause.” JAPAN WILL ISSUE JUSTIFICATION BOOK TOKIO, August 16.—The Blue Books, White Books and other pub lications of various hues issued by the chancellories of Europe to jus tify their policies and records will be prototypes of documents soon to be issued by Japan. Baron Kijuro Shiaehara, new foreign minister, an advocate of open diplomacy, has announced a policy of issuing offi cial publications of this nature from the Japanese foreign office RAILROAD SCHEDULES Arrival and Departure of Passengei Trains, Americus, Ga.

DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful ef fect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old preparation, im proved by the addition of other ingre dients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. Well-known druggists say it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. publications.

Smith, of 2106 Stout Street “Twenty-five years ago, I was suffering from wom ) anly weakness. I read of Cardui in an almanac, and thought I would try it. I got a bottle and it helped me from the first. After that, during the whole of my married life, I took Cardui when I needed it “About four years ago, change of life came on me. . . I grew weaker and Weaker, and was confined to my bed, where I lay on my back for days. I was told that only a severe operation could do me any good, and this de pressed me very much, for I dreaded such an ordeal. “I remembered how Cardui had helped me for female trouble in the past and I had read of how it had helped other women during change of life, so one night I told my husband to go to the drug store and get me * bottle. I began taking it at once. From the first dose I could feel myself getting stronger. . . I continued to take Cardui until I was entirely through this very trying period of a woman's life.” Cardui. at all dealers’. NC-158 engaged in commerce.
