SEND REFIEF TO
STRICKEN LAND
Build the Wall High and
Build Quickly—With
Batter.
Atlanta, Ga., May 4, 1922.--
"Build the wall, d Build it high
and build it quickly.” These
are the orders that relief work
ers in famine ridden Armenia is
sue daily—not to their masons
but to their bakers. For the
walls of dough prevail against
the hunger horror where stone
and mortar would prove sorry
defense, according to advices
just received in Atlanta by the
Georgia committee on Near East
Relief.
The Committee, of which Hen
ry B. Kennedy, an Atlanta bank
er, is chairman, is receiving con
tributions at 409 Georgia Savings
Bank building, in this city.
A wall it is, both literally and
figuratively, for it keeps the
famine away from approximate
ly twenty-thousand children in
Near East relief orphanages in
the city of Alexandropol where
other relief workers must see
that it is built ten feet high and
sixty yards long.
“The barricade of batter,” the
American relief workers alliter
atively term it. Big as it is, it’s
only a link in the chain of bread
fortresses erected each morning
and demolished before night by
regiments of hungry orphans.
Similiar walls built in other
American relief centres, if placed
end on end, would stretch for
186 yards and withstand the
hearty appetites of 56,000 chil
dren. The weight of this great
well totals twenty-six tons.
The loaves of bread that form
the barricade are all baked in or
phanage bakeries, where the
children aid in the task, not on
ly as a matter of economy but al
so to learn a trade by which they
will eventually be able to support
themselves when normal condi
tions once more return in Trans
caucasia.
The trouble with the relief
worker is that it is not long
enough. Recently its growth
was curtailed by a twenty-five
per cent decrease in relief activi
ties because of lack of funds!
This means, the workers say,
that one out of every four of the
children of the Near East Relief
will succumb to starvation de
spite the army of baker-wall
builders.
American workers in Alexan
dropol have concentrated approx
imate 25,000 Armenian war or
phans in Near East Relief or
hanage. The situation in the
city, according to the most recent
reports, is serious and cannibal
ism is said to have broken out in
some, of the nearby villages
where the break up of winter has
revealed an appalling state of
misery.
According to advices received
by the Georgia Chairman, this
cut means death for one out of
every four of the more
than one hundred thousand chil
dren in Alexandropol and other
areas unlpss the organization’s re
sources are increased immediate
ly.

WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL IS DELAYED
AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY
The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mall to Mr. Ezekiel
Smithers, “Atlantic Coast,” and ex
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived. r
Perhaps they had Zeke’s address In
letters up in the garret, maybe a chest
full of ’em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y., or Chicago, 111., thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which is
just as incomplete as was Zeke's ad
dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and
street in the address. It helps you.

How do you expect the Postal Clerk
to know whether you mean Trinidad,
California, or Trinidad, Colorado?
ALWAYS SPELL OUT THE NAME
OF THE STATE IN FULL IN THE
ADDRESS.
“MORE BUSINESS

This apt phrase was used in Presi
dent Harding’s first message to Con
gress and applies particularly in postal
management where postmasters are
being impressed with the fact that
they are managers of local branches
of tlie biggest business In the world.
HERE COMES A STRANGER!
I.et’s make our post office look neat,
Mr. Postmaster. Straighten up the
rural letter box, Mr. Farmer. Tidy
up some, Mr. Rural Carrier. First
impressions are lasting. Maybe Mr.
Stranger, taking notice of these im
provements, will come back, bringing
you benefits. Start these with ‘‘POS

HUMANIZING THE
POSTAL SERVICE
“There is no unimportant person or
part of our service. It is a total of
human units and their co-operation is
the key to its success. In its lust
analysis, postal duties are accommo
dations performed for our neighbors
and friends and should be so regarded,
rattier than as a hired service per
formed for an absentee employer.”—
Postmaster General Hubert Work.
Returned Fund Given
by Ku Klux Klan.
Athens, Ga., May I.—The $lO
contained in a sealed envelope
and delivered to an evangelist in
a local Methodist church Sunday
night a week ago by five men
wearing the regalia of the Ku
Klux Klan, was directed back to
the order by the board of stew
ards of the church, which body
declared that “without calling in
question the motive of the don
ors, the church feels that to ac
cept the gift of $lO by the Ku
Klux Klan would be to acquiesce
in an act calculated to disturb
public worship.”

Vast Number of Hogs
Fattened for Market.
In Georgia and other Southern
States many hogs are fattened
' on peanuts and peanut pasture.
1 It has been demonstrated by a
['number of Experiment Stations
that good and cheap gains can
be made by using peanuts in a
ration. However, when the ra
tion is made up entirely with pea
nuts a soft and undesirable car
cass is produced. Experiment
conducted by the Georgia Ex
periment Station by the U. S. De
partment, and Stations of Mis
sippi, North Carolina and South
Carolina during the last three
years have shown conclusively
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 produc
ed, and that it is impossible to
produce a hard carcass by feed
ing corn and tankage or corn and
cotton-seed meal to these solt
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 demand
hard hogs and are paying more
for them. However, there is a
market for soft hogs and if the
farmers in the peanut sections
can fatten hogs profitably on
peanuts and allow the discrimin
ation there is no reason for dis
couraging the production of soft
pork.
The Georgia Experiment Sta
tion and other Southern Experi
ment Stations are working co
operatively with the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture in try
ing to determine to what extent
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.

Fever and Lagrippe. It is the

CARDUI HELPED

Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three
Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous
and Depressed—Read Her
Own Story of Recovery.
Paint Rock, Ala.—Mrs. C. M. Stegall,
of near here, recently related the fol
lowing interesting account of her re
covery: “I was In a weakened con
dition. I was sick three years In bed.
suffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed. I was so weak,
I couldn’t walk across the floor; Just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still 1 didn’t get any relief.
I couldn’t eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn’t heard of and taken
Cardul I would have died. I bought
nix bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
“I began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trou
ble since ... I sure can testify to the
good that Cardui did me. I don’t
think there Is a better tonic made
and I believe it saved my life."
For over 40 years, thousands of wo
men have used Cardui successfully,
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer as these women did,
take Cardui. It may help you, too.
