HUGH PETERSON, JR. June 27th, 1922. To Stop a Cough Quick take HAYES’ HEALING HONEY, a cough medicine which stops the cough by healing the inflamed and irritated tissues. A box of GROVE'S O-PEN-TRATE SALVE for Chest Cold 3, Head Odds and Croup is enclosed with every bottle of HAYES’ HEALING HONEY. The salve should be rubbed on the chest and throat of children suffering from a Cold or Croup. The healing effect of Hayes' Healing Honey in side the throat combined with the healing effect of Grove's Q-Pen-Trate Salve through the pores of the skin soon stops a cough. Both remedies are packed in one carton and the cost of the combined treatment is j6c. Just ask your druggist for HAYES’ 1 HEALING HONEY. THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1922.

But of possibly greater importance still is the prompt pay ’ ment of teachers. Mr. Duggan in . sists that the teacher is of even great er importance than the text-book, and believes that better teachers should be better paid. Mr. Duggan is partic ularly gratified, he says, at the hearty support 1 he is receiving from the club j women over the state. He has long been an ardent advocate of their | cause.

HARRIS HAS HIGH RANK ON COMMITTEE Atlanta.—United States Senator W. J. Harris will move up one place in seniorority on the senate appropria tions committee after next March 4th, because of the defeat of Senator Cul berson of Texas, it was commented on here today, which places the Georgia seaator as the third ranking democrat ic senator on the most powerful com mittee in congress. On the minority side, Senator Harris is only junior to Senators Overman of North Carolina, and Owen of Okla homa, while he is followed by Senators Glass of Virginia, and Jones of New M exico. Senator Harris is on six of the im portant sub-committees which handle appropriation hills under the new sen ate rules changed to conform to the budget law. It is expected that a hard fight will be waged in democratic circles after next March 4th to fill the va cancy caused by the retirement of Senator Culberson, as mebuship on the appropriations committee is eager ly sought. Senator Overman, ranking minority member, would likely take the chair manship of the judiciary committee, of which he is senior democrat, and Senat- r Owens will likely take the chairmanship of the hanking and cur rency committee, of which lie is the senior democrat, in case the democrats win the senate. That would place Senator Harris in line for the appro -4 priations chairmanship. BE PRETTY! TURN. (NT HI BARK Try Grandmother’s Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
