WITH NEW BURDENS ADDED
* MUST INCREASE PRICE OR
o GO OUT OF BUSINESS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Congress
is getting the publishers’s side of
“he story. This is new both to con
gress and the public.
The tremendous increase in second
class postage, as originally proposed
as a part of the war revenue-raisingi
I)lan of the ;1’.)';(-1'nment, would de'}
stroy the property of two-thirds of
the publishers of the United States.
The real facts of the situation are
now being brought out, in an effort
to have the postage plan amended
and made fair, both in the interest of
the publishers and the public.
Showing that the proposed increase
in second-class rates would be confis
catory and would drive hundreds of
newspapers and other publications
out of business, newspaper and mag
azine publishers and representatives
of printing trades have filed vigorous
protests before the senate finance
committee. : .
The second class mail provisions,
under which the government has been
carrying publications at 1 cent a
pound, was established fer the bene
fit of the public, in order that news
and knowledge might be disseminat
ed throughout the country at a rea
sonable rate. Legislators at Washing
ton who do not understand or who
for reasons of their own wish to mis
represent the situation have attempt
ad to make it appear that the pub
iishers have been especially favorgd.
The facts, however, show that with
proper handling, second class mail
can be carried nearly 500 miles for
a quarter of a cent a pound. The post
office department gets 1 cent a pound
for the same service. The proposed
»aise in second class rates would in
corease the price the publishers pay
aver 300 per cent.
“Let Us Keep the Cow.”
The publishers are asking no spe
cial favors, but want to be placed on
the same level as people engaged in
other business. As Chairman Don C.
Seitz of the publishers’ committee
told the senators: ‘“We are willing to
do our full share. The rate proposed
for second class mail is an increase
beyond precedent—even in the price
of chemicals or platinum produced
by ‘war’ conditions. It is out of all
proportion to the value of the ser
vice performed by the postoffice de
partment. The raise in rates will de
stroy business and decrease the gov
ernment’s revenue. All we ask is that
you let us keep the cow—you can
have the milk.”
Arthur Dunn, speaking for the
smaller newspapers of the country, !
showed that they could not stand the
increase in postal rates with the
greatly, increased cost of print pa
per and all other materials.
In the house, those, who under
stand the situation have shown the
oroposed increase as the most unjust
tax ever imposed, which would mean
the end of papers of national circu
lation.
Papers Increasing Price.
Continued increase in cost of ma
terials and labor, and the proposed
raise in mail rates have caused many

more publications to raise their sub
scription rates. The example of all
the Chicago newspapers, which have
doubled their price, is being follow
ed in other cities. Papers of general
circulation are hit harder than the
city dailies by the change in mail
rates. They must raise their price or
go out of business.
Sunday papers are going up to 7,
8 and 10 cents. The Chicago Sunday
papers increased their price some
time ago. The papers of Detroit,
Mich., have agreed to double their
price.

Ga.-
C. B. GWIN HAS
PRODUCE MAN HAD RHEUMA.
TISM SO BAD HIS MUSCLES
FELT LIKE THEY WERE' TIED
~ IN A KNOT.
f “Yes, sir, it is a fact when I tell}
you that T have gained thirty pounds
on Tanlac, and am now able to dol
about twice the amount of work I
have been able to do at any time
during the past ten years,” said Mr.
C. B. Gwin, the well-known produce
man of Armory, Miss., in telling of
the wonderful results -he had obtain
ed from Tanlac.
“I have been in a general rundowp |
condition for sometime,” continued
Mr. Gwin, “and suffered principally
with rheumatism. My whole system
seemed rundown, debilitated. I could
not sleep at night and I would feel
in ‘the morning just as fatigued as I
did upon going to bed at night. My
digestion became affected, and 1
couldn’t eat. Attacks of of violent
headaches were frequent, and my
nervous system seemed to be all dis
ordered. The rheumatism was so se
vere at times my muscles seemed as if
they were tied up in a knot. I lost a
good deal in weight and it looked
like I was getting weaker and weak
er every day.
“I was persuaded to try Tanlac
and I got a bottle of the medicine. It
is certainly making a new man of me.
I can now eat and sleep better than
I have in years. My rheumatism has
all gone and I feel strong and built |
up in every way. I am a well man
and certainly am thankful that I
found out about this wonderful med
icine. As I have already said, I have
gained thirty pounds in six weeks’l
time, and I feel stronger and better
than I have in years. Tanlac has cer-!
tainly straightened me out, and I be
lieve it will do the same thing for
anyone else who has the same trou- !
ble I had.”

WHO CARES HOW THEY
WEAR ’EM IN HAWAII?
That Is, If It’s Windy Here. There’s
Sight-Seeing a Plenty For All
Except the Blind.
The mere fact that they are wear
ing ’em higher in Hawaii means nbth
ingto Georgia people these days. If
they are wearing them much higher
than the present styles have decreed,
it is a matter of wonder how they
do it and get by with it—that’s all.
It seems that they would be lay
ing themselves open to severe and
opprobrions criticism, to say nothing
of the national board of censorship.
““‘See America First” is a fine old
motto, and it has been made possi
ble for the most poverty stricken and
the most addicted to the staying at
home habit, to have all the joys of
the elastic conventions of the Pacific
Isles brought right to their own
front doors. Or, to be a trifle more
literal the real sight-seeing begins on
the principal street of the cities
every day, and continues up and
down the entire thoroughfare. What
ithe wind leaves to the imagination
requires but little energy to see, and
there are some sights exposed these
gusty days.
It it at last being understood how,
why and for what reason manufac
turers of novelties in the way of hos
iery are daily racking their brains
and steadily wearing out their last
ounce of ingenuity to contrive any
thing new in the line of sunset and
\fried egg effects.

Tonoline Is Beauty Aid,
Announces Specialist
Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to
{ Women.
As health is a first aid to beauty
this story, told by Mildred Louise,
beauty specialist, of Boston, Mass.,
is of unusual interest.
“I can recommend no better health
giver than Tonoline,” said Mildred
Louise.
“I was for many months a victim
of stomach trouble and nervousness.
I had suffered terribly from pains
that followed eating. Headaches al
so would add to my worries. Poor
digestion finally brought nervousness.
“Relief came, however, when 1
took the advice of several women
who said, “Take Tonoline.’
“Not long after I started the Tono
line treatment, my patrons began to
remind me of the improvement in
my condition. And because health
is the quickest way to beauty, the
improvement was particularly notice
able in my face.
What Tonoline really did for me
I cannot say. I am so grateful that
I am very willing to recommend Ton
oline publicly.”
Tonoline is a purely vegetable
preparation which goes to the seat
of common maladies—stomach and
kidney trouble, catarrhal affections
of the mucous membranes, liver ail
ments and impurities of the blood
and quickly restores proper action.
Tonoline is being explained daily to
many people at Dawson Drug Co.,
and Williams’ Pharmacy, Shellman.
Notice:—As Tonoline is a wonder
ful flesh builder it should not be tak
en by any one not wishing to in
crease his weight ten pounds or
more. Although many reports are
received from those who have been
benefited by Tonoline in severe cases
of stomach trouble and nervous dys
pepsiz, chronic constipation, ete.
