DO YOU wish to know how thousands and thousands
of women have gone thru motherhood without
knowing some of the pains and discomforts incident
to childbirth? Listen to this:
Motherhood creates almost anew
state of being for a woman.
Asa result, new nerves, those here
tofore restful and quiescent, spring
into activity, they cry out, they tingle,
they bum in their unrest.
The network of nerves across the
abdomen, the loins, the back and
other parts now become super-sensi
tive. All these nerves are being called
on to perform unusual duties.
These nerves must be pacified
and comforted; must be put in
condition for the crisis that is
pending.
If these nerves are not soothed and
quieted, they may set up aggravated
nerve tension, increasing in severity
from month to month, sometimes
even culminating in a nervous paraly
sis of the back and limbs. This leaves
the mother-to-be in a condition where
she is unable, fully, to meet the test
when the climax of maternity arrives.
WARNING : Avoid using plain oils, greases and substitutes
they act only on the skin and may cause harm without doing good.

Mother’s Friend is used externally
as a massage; and its purpose, thru
daily use, is to gradually, gently and
effectively relax the muscles and
nerves involved in the function of
child-bearing; to make the skin soft,
pliable and elastic so that it may
expand easily and naturally as the
abdominal parts enlarge —thereby re
lieving the tension and strain on these
muscles and nerves of the otherwise
severe distension before delivery.
Mrs. C. J. Hartman, 515 Palm St.,
Scranton, Pa., says:
“/ am willing and anxious to tell any
mother about Mother's Friend. It did
me so much good that l wouldn’t be
without it if it cost f 5.00 a bottle. With
my first two children I had a doctor and
a nurse and then they had to use instru
ments, but with my last two children
I only had a nurse; we had no time to
get a doctor because 1 wasn't very
sick—only about ten or fifteen min
utes."
Many doctors and nurses recommend
Mother’s Friend. It contains no narcotics,
or habit-forming drugs and is perfectly
harmless. All drug stores carry Mother'#
Friend.

INTEREST GROWS IN
BOYS’ CLUB WORK
Athens, Ga., May I.—Enrollment
in the agricultural clubs has already
passed the ten thousand mark, and
indications promise a fifty per cent
increase over the enrollment of 1921,
according to Extension Director, J.
Phil Campbell, of the Georgia Stpte
College of Agriculture.
The leading clubs are pig clubs,
com clubs, sweet potato and poultry
clubs, however a great many boys are
signing up for the sheep, calf, pea
nut, wheat oats and orchard clubs.
Features of club work this year
will be judging contests and club
camps. Judging contests will be
held in the counties, congressional
districts and for the championship
of the state. Teams will be selected
for livestock and farm crops judging.
This work is very instructive as well
as interesting to the boys, and it is
expected that a large number of
them will compete for places on the
teams. Several valuable prizes are
offered including a number of free
trips to Chicago to the International
Livestock Exposition.
Club camps will be held during the
summer in most of the counties. In
some instances the camps will include
the boys from a district rather than
a single county. Arrangements are
now being made for a big camp at
St. Simons Island during August.
These camps will include agricultural
instruction from the county agents
as well as play and recreation.
Short Courses will be held at the
district Agricultural Schools for the
club boys during the summer. Then
the Georgia State College of Agri
culture has already completed ar
rangements for the annual Short
Course for boys and girls held each
August.
Twenty thousand dollars in prizes
are offered for the winners in club
work. This includes a number of
free trips to the International Live
stock Exposition at Chicago, the
Southeastern Fair at Atlanta, Schol
arships to the Short Course at the
College of Agriculture, and cash.
ENTERTAINED WITH
A PRAWN SUPPER
Mr. W. H. Winn entertained a few
of his friends with a prawn supper
on Wednesday evening, April 26th,
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jas.
C. Collier, at Meansville.
Prawn, being anew dish to the
majority of those present, it was with
an expression of uncertainty upon
their faces, that the first attack was
made upon the menu, but after the
smoke of battle had cleared away, it
was unanimously declared that
prawn was a very enjoyable dish.
Those present, besides Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Winn and Mr. and Mrs.
Jas. C. Collier, were: W. F. Reeves,
Joe Slade Chester Bankston, H. G.
Langford, J. B. Gill and H. G.
Moulder.
RAILWAY TRAVEL SAFE
The railways are safe, and con
stantly growing safer, is the assertion
of President W. A. Winburn of the
Central of Georgia Railway in an in
teresting statement just issued from
his office in Savannah. Mr. Winburn
proves his contention by quoting
facts and figures, and says that
twenty-nine millions of passengers
have been handled by the Central of
Georgia since a passenger riding in
a coach has been fatally injured.
The last fatality of this nature was
more than five years ago.
The year 1920 was a record one
for heavy traffic, yet the number of
fatalities on the railroads was the
smallest in 22 years. Traffic in 1921
was not so heavy, and figures just
issued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission show a decrease of 14
per cent, in the number of fatalities
from the previous year. Mr. Win
burn attributes the fine record of the
railways in large part to the fact
that employes have been trained to
give safety precedence over all other
things.
The average newspaper reader will
perhaps be surprised to learn that
there are nearly as many persons
drowned accidentally in the United
States in a year as are fatally in
jured on the railroads. All statistics
for fatalities include automobile
grade-crossing accidents and injuries;
to trespassers, for neither of which
the railways are responsible, but
which go to make up one-half of the
"fi’talities.
Mr. Winburn says that the hand
ling of a heavier business with a
smaller number of fatalities is a
barometer of railway efficiency, and
pledges the renewed effort of the
Central of Georgia toward rendering
to the public a transportation service
of safety and satisfaction, in which
the cooperation of the public is
asked.
SILVER’S BUSINESS
Mr. S. Silver expects to be ready
for business within a few days as
manager of the store and stocks of
goods which he operated until he was
forced into bankruptcy. He is now
straightening out the goods and ar
ranging for beginning business, when
he expects to receive the same liberal
patronage he previously enjoyed.
Until the panic came on he did a
prosperous business and he believes
he can do as well again.
Mr. Silver will combine the two
stores he was running in Bamesville
into one and concentrate his efforts
in the one store. He will have a
large and splendid stock of dry goods,
notions, shoes, hats, etc., and will
have important announcement to
make soon.
P. Silver will be the firm name,
with S. Silver as manager.
SOFT PORK
Hog raisers in Lamar county will
be interested in the statement that in
Georgia and other Southern States
many hogs are fattened on peanuts
and peanut pastures. It has been
demonstrated by a number of Ex
periment Stations that good and
cheap gains can be made by using
peanuts in a ration. However, when
the ration is made up entirely with
peanuts a soft and undesirable car
cass is produced. Experiments con
ducted by the Georgia Experiment
Station, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, and the Experiment
Stations of Mississippi, North Caro
lina and South Carolina during the
last three years have shown con
clusively that when hogs starting at
a weight of 100 pounds are fed on
peanuts in dry lots or grazed in the
field for a period of 60 days or more
a soft carcass is produced, and that
it is impossible to produce a hard
CENTRAL OF GEORGIA SHOWS
RAILWAYS ARE SAFE AND
ARE GROWING SAFER
It has been more than five years since a passenger riding in a coach of the Central of Geor
gia Railway has been fatally injured, and during that period more than 29,000,000 passengers have
been handled.
This record, splendid as it is, we do not claim is exceptional. It merely goes to show as do
other figures, that American railways as a whole are making an excellent record in the reduction
of fatalities. The reason for this is to be found in the fact that railway men have been trained to
give safety precedence over all other things. To them the most familiar rule in the standard book
of railway rules reads: “In case of doubt or uncertainty, the safe course must be taken.”
While railway traffic has greatly increased in recent years fatalities on the railroads have been
decreasing. 1920 was a record year for traffic yet the number of fatalities was the smallest in 22
years., 1921 in turn broke this record by a reduction of 14 per cent, in the number of fatalities,
according to the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
i
The unit by which freight traffic is measured is the ton mile and the unit of passenger traffic
is the passenger mile. Statistics show that there has been a steady increase in both for the past ten
years, the increase in ton miles in 1920 over 1921 being 64 per cent, and the increase in passenger
miles being 42 per cent. Yet despite this vast increase in business which required many more em
ployes to handle the greater tonnage and which subjected so many more passengers to danger, the
total fatalities decreased 33 per cent, in 1920 from 1911.
In 1920 the railroads of the United States carried 16,239,774 passengers to each passenger
fatally injured in a train accident. Trespassing and automobile grade-crossing accidents contribute
heavily to the fatalities on the railroads. In 1920 trespassers fatally injured numbered 1273. To
gether these accounted for nearly one-half of all the fatalities on the railroads during the year.
Not many would believe that there are nearly as many persons accidentally drowned in a
year as are fatally injured on the railways. The rate of deaths per hundred thousand population
in the United States in 1920 from some of the commoner causes of fatalities was as follows: Falls,
12.3; Automobile, 10.8; Burns, (not conflagrations), 7.9; Railroads, 6.6; Drownings, 5.9.
The Central of Georgia Railway has handled its share of increased business and at the same
time has been able to show a substantial lessening of fatalities on its lines. In 1920 for instance,
the ton miles showed an increase of 51 per cent, over 1914; the passenger miles an increase of 32
per cent, while the fatalities showed a decrease of 26 per cent.
We believe that the public will agree with us that the handling of a heavier business with a
smaller number of fatalities is a barometer of railway efficiency. The Central of Georgia Railway
pledges renewed effort toward rendering the public a transportation service of safety and satisfac
tion and asks the cooperation of the public.

carcass by feeding corn and tankage
or corn and cotton-seed meal to these
soft hogs for a subsequent period of
60 days or less.
Packers have discriminated against
soft hogs for some time and have
not paid the southern farmers as
much for peanut-fed hogs as for hogs
fed on feeds which produce a harder
carcass. The markets seem to de
mand hard hogs and are paying more
for them. However there is a mar
ket for soft hogs and if the farmers
in the peanut sections can fatten
hogs profitably on peanuts and allow
the discrimination there is no reason
for discouraging the production of
soft pork.
The Georgia Experiment Station
and other Southern Experiment Sta
tions are working cooperatively with
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
in trying to determine to what ex
tent peanuts may be used in a ration
without producing a soft hog. Work
is being done also towards finding a
method of hardening hogs that have
been made soft by this feed.
