, 0 YOU KNOW WHAT 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 “ Seven billions in gold coin is 13,440 and would load nearly 1,200 cars, mjj&W The r FLAVOR LASTS 1 WRIGLEYS Its cost would be thrice!

We do not cobble shoes, we rebuild them. We use the famous Goodyear Welt System. MANLY BROTHERS each with 24,000 pounds, and make a solid train thirteen miles long. ‘ 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., Buffalo, N. Y.—(advt.) 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.
