SEVEN BILLION MEANS?
lfae interest on the United States'
000,000, 000.00 war budget, at 31-2
oer cent amounts to almost a
■nute, according to C. D. P, Hamil
:on, vice-president of the International
,hoe Company, who has figured out a
number of comparisons to show just
vhat $7,000,000, 000.00 means. His fig
ures follow:
' There are almost as many dollars
7,000,000,000 as there are seconds
u 222 years. Since the Declaration of
pendence, July 4, 1776, to date,
there are less than 4,500,000,000 sec

each with 24,000 pounds, and make a

‘ Seven billions of silver dollars
stacked in a pile would go toward the
stars to a distance of 1,736 miles. And
it would take the United States mint,
working day and night, 224 years to
coin the dollars.
Would Buy United States.
At $5.00 an acre, this vast sum
would pay for every acre of land in
the continental United States.
‘ Seven billions of dollars in dollar
greenbacks,’ end to end, would go
around the earth at the equator nearly
thirty-four times. And it would take
an express train running forty miles
an hour, day and night, continuously,
for two and one-half years, to cover
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CAR TERSVILLE NEWS, MAY 24, 1917.
the distance.
“Let us look at it in time, or in dis
tance.
* “Seven billion minutes is 13,318
years, 9 hours and 62 minutes!
“Imagine seven billions of miles! A
rifleLfeullet has a speed of about half
a second, yet at this great velocity
it would require almost 444 years to
cover the distance!
“Had an express train started at the
dawn of-tke Christian era, going at the
rate of a mile a minute, it would today,,
nineteen centuries after Christ was
born, figuratively speaking, hardly
have gotten out of the train sheds, for
it would have gone only one-seventh
of the distance. And would now, 1917,
have 11,400 years to run to complete
the journey of 7,000,000,000 miles!
‘•Count it —ridiculous! Imagine an
expert counter of money, counting this
in SI.OO bills and expert enough to
count one a second. Then suppose he
belonged to the ‘union’ and worked
eight hours a day, Sundays and holi
days excluded. Then imagine him
working on the job for fifty years—
dying of old age—the work taken up
by another. The first man would have
been dead 700 years when the fifteenth
man quit the task —each of the fifteen
having worked for fifty years, and
there would still be uncounted enough
to give to each man, woman and child
in St, Louis $500.00 and leave $120,-
000,000.00 untouched!
Useless to Attempt Expenditure.
“Let us look at $7,000,000,000.00 in
this way: Suppose a man had this sum
in bank —not interest bearing —and
every week day of the year he drew
his check for $1,000,000.00, he would,
after 22 years, have $36,000,000.00 in
the bank!
“Suppose, again, that it was invest
ed, paying 6 per cent interest, and the
man’s expenses were $1,000,000.00 a
day. He would, after 70 years—spend
ing a million a day—find that he had
fourteen billions left, twice as much
as at the beginning, and might want
to kick himself for pinching down to a
beggarly million a day!
“This loan bears interest of 3 1-2 per
cent and the interest is $245,000,000.00
a year, nearly $500.00 a minute—just
the interest!’’—From St. Louis Globe-
Democrat, April 23, 1917.
FOR HOW LONG?
Cartersville Raises a Pertinent Ques
tion.
When a neighbor tells us that he
has recovered from . serious illness,
the first question that naturally arises
is, “How long will he keep well?”
Temporary relief is one thing, but a
lasting cure is altogether different.
There is nothing temporary about the
work of Doan’s Kidney Pills as the fol
lowing evidence proves beyond a
doubt.
J. C. Herring, grocer, Main St., Car
tersville, says: “I have never hesitated
to recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills to
those complaining of kidney trouble.
I can say thatjhey have proven bene
ficial to me and fully merit the confi
dence I have placed, in them.” (State
ment given February 4th, 1911.)
NO TROUBLE SINCE.
OVER THREE YEARS LATER, Mr.
Herring said: ‘T never feel any symp
tom of the old complaint now and I
am just as glad to recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills at this time as I was
some years ago.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Herring has twice publicly recom
mended. Foster-Milburn Cos., Props.,

ROAD BUYS SEED FOR
COMMUNITY GARDENS.
Nashville, Tenn., May 19. —The
Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis
Railway is not only urging its em
ployes to grow their'own vegetables,
but is actually buying such seeds as
are needed for the planting of com
munity gardens, in addition to tender
ing the use'of its right-of-way for cul
tivation.
Recently a number of the section
gangs have gone in for community
gardens, and the road ha3 agreed to
allow them to plant such gardens on
co.mpany time and furnish the neces
sary seed. These seeds have been pur
chased by Special Agricultural Agent
J. H. Judd who has charge of the com
pany’s demonstration farms. The gar
dens will be planted In potatoes, cab
bage, tomatoes, peas, beans, corn,
etc., and the section forces will pool
their interests for supplying their ta
bles this summer.
The plan is working out splendidly
and hundreds of packages of seeds
have been distributed within the past
ten days. The section forces will cul
tivate the gardens and apportion the
yield. These community gardens are
in addition to the individual gardens
already planted under the compan> s
first offer for use of the right-of-way.
In addition to these plans, the com
pany has also turned over Its twelve
demonstration farms for the produc
tion of food crops, thereby Increasing
the food crop acreage In its territory
this year 1,763 acres.
AN EASY WAY TO REDUCE FLESH
Drink Hot Water and Take Tagaco
Haven’t you often vvished for a medi
cine to reduce your flesh? Something
that does not require dieting or calis
thenics? Well, right here you have it
in 5-grain tablets, which you
maj secure at any good druggist. They
are pleasant to take, perfectly harm
less and cause no restrictions of habit
or eating, and reduce the flesh, little
by.little, until you are down to 1 the
number of pounds you wish to weigh.
Too much flesh is undesirable, as most
quite stout people will readily admit,
and it detracts from one’s good ap
pearance; makes one clumsy and short
of breath.
There isn't any r> ason why*anyone
should be too stout, when there’s this
much-tried, perfectly satisfactory rem
edy at any good druggist. Tassco, tab
lets (don’t forget the name) are rec
ommended by physicians and are guar
anteefl to be perfectly harmless. Re
fuse substitutes, if you can not come
to our store, we will mail tassco to
you.
