CENTRRL RAILWAY
MAKES INTERESTING
OF YEAR’S BUSINESS
Many interesting facts and figures
are contained in the annual report of
the Central of Georgia Railway Com

The outstanding feature of the re

fixed charges. This deficit was due
to the high level of wages prevailing
throughout the year to the mark

under depressed conditions.
Indicative of the lessened volume
of traffic are the figures for freight
revenue which decreased $920,073; or

whihc decreased $1,310,662 or 19.29
per cent; mail revenue which decreas

revenue which decraesed $131,335 or

which decreased $1,310,662 or 19.29
cent as compared with $25,082,288 in
1920 a decrease of $3,024,789.
This shrinkage of revenue was over

in the operation of trains, much sav

One Bottle Ends Suffering of
Los Angeles Lady
“I took one bottle and it relieved
me of so-called jumping pains,” Mrs.
J. G. Schroer, of 530 Temple Street,
Los Angeles, Calif., writes, in prais
ing Old Indian Liver and Kidney
Tonic.
“I felt hot pains in spots, like
bruises would cause,” she writes.
“The pains stayed in one place for
a while, then moved to another part
of my body. Your medicine stopped
them. I was also weak and dizzy,
out think the cause was from lack of
blood. I felt much better after tak
ing the tonic.
“My head has ached much during
my life, and at times I have been
unable to think clearly. Doctors
didn’t seem to find the cause. The
first bottle of Old Indian Liver and
Kidnev Tonic brought wonderful re
lief.”
