The Lean Shark Evil And Some Remedy The siiit bronght by several cmployees of the Central Raiiroad of G :orgia 1n the Superior court of Bibb couaty against the firm of Kn g Bros, and Co. of Ma¢on and Atlanta for an sbleged violation of the State’s anti-usury laws, calls speciul attention to the tieed of 4 more «ertain remedy against practicés which, unmoral and disastrous tostle welfare of the R. R, road employces though they be, are generally tolerated for want of a system that will step into the breach when the funds are getting low between paydays, Fundamentally wrong, acting as an economiec handicap to both employée ‘aud employer, it is strange that some remedy has not been applied befste now, to relieve the employee of the necessity of resorting to this means to secure the small amounts needed during the interim. The Railroad Companies, as well as other employers on 2 larger scale, of labor, both white ar d colored, must realize that a constantly harrassed employce can certai; = ly not achieve and retain the efficiency in productive labor, to Whi(‘h; the employer, paying for the services, is entitled. The demand of the State Federation of Labor and the Railroad organizations for a semi-‘ monthly pay day would obviate the need of borrowing but in the ab-l sence of such a law, it wav and appears to us, is practical for these corporations to employ a system of advancing en the wages of their employees, through some agency or department of their own, con pected with the management cf the railroad, at no cost to roads and «only a fraction of the cost to the borrowing employes. A system of this sort would we believe make for more efliciency in the work and - greater interest and loyality to the roads. We do ot know of any ~road that practices this system but it does appear to be simple and easily put into operation. A payroll, such as is averaged in, the Fitz g-rald territory, should notcal! for the use of more than $4OOO, averag ~ing less than fifteen daysa month and at 19 for the use of it a momhl the office expénses, Bond ete.. could well be taken care of, thus saving | the employees | undreds of dollars monthly on their interest charges, veluminating the embarasment of appealing to a loan agency and pro- Vidin ;o way for témporary relief without the risk of loosiug the self’ rospect, thut so inevitable follows the recurrent appeal to usuro: s' m mév lenders. The very fact that the victim sneaks iu and out of those offices prove the disrespect in which the traflic is held and a fre- i q ent repetition of such trips will soon loose the company the full value of the efficiency of a self respecting employee, ' ] Harvard has a professor whois only nineteen years old, but he doe: 't smoke cigarettes. v el : | e Insist to your wife that she is perfect and your own stock will go u'pl a thousand per cent. ‘ The collector is a fortunate individual.

T. Cooper, the man who electrified the larger cities of the country with his philantk ropy, health theories and celc brated medicine, Tanlac, G. F. Willis, his southern representa tive, said; ' “Thousands of the mcst pro minent people in Atlanta, Birm inghani, Nashville, Chattanooga, Louisville, Kno¥viile and other cities where his celebrated medi cine has been accomplishing such remarkable results, are even more enthusiastic over Tanlac than Mr. Cooper himself. ““As previvusly stated, Mr. Cooper contends that nine-tenths )f the diseases and ill-health of the average personis due toa catarrhal condition which pro duces faulty digestion and im proper assimilation of the food. “In a recent interview Mr. Cooper was asked if 'l'snlae would relieve kidiiey trouble, liver complaint, rheumatism aid a dozen other ailments, and in this connection said: | “'As I have repeatedly raid, my Imedicine acts directly on the mu cus membrane, stomach and blood, expelling from them the! impurities and toxic poisons, and rendering to them a strong, heal-i thy condition. I am e'o‘nvinced| that the stomach regulates the condition of the blool, and is the fountain head eof health or di sease, as the casemay be. My medicine is intended primarily for the regulation o the stomach and catarrhal inflammration, but it s no uncommon thing for per sons who have used it to come to me and explain that it has reliev- | ed them of Rheumatism and ’ many ether ailments not general- f ly recognized as having their "origin in stemach trouble.”’ ““The ingredients or medicinal elements which make Tanlac come from many remote sections of the earth—the Alps, the Pyre nees, Russian Asia, West Indies, Mountain states, near the Rocky Mount4ins, Mexico and Peru are among the points from which the principal parts of the preparation are obtained. In the prineipal laboratory of the Cooper Medi cine Co., Ine. under the efficient direction of Herr Jos Von Trim bach, a native German. chemist of note, these medicinal herbs, roots and barks are assembled in the rough and painstakingly de veloped so as to attain that high standard of efficiency shown by the wuniform preparaticn of Tanlae.”’ In referring to the unpre cedented demand for Tanlac in Atlanta, Mr. Chas.
