Bleached Floor Must Be So Labeled.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7. —An important
ruling has just been made by Commis
sioner J. D. Price, of the State De
partment of Agriculture, following a
conference with the leading millers and
brokers of Atlanta and other sections
of the State who handle flour.
At the riquest of these gentlemen,
who stated that they had large stocks
of flour sacks on hand already printed,
an extension of sixty days was allowed
before the department will begin en
forcement of the pure food laws relat
ing to bleached flour.
This ruling means that on and after
Oct. 1 every barrel, sack or package of
flour sold in Georgia, which is bleached
by any process or artificially matured
whereby the natural color is changed in
any manner, shall be clearly and con
spicuously labeled to that effect in com
pliance with the pure food laws. The
ruling further r> quires that each pack
age of such flour shall have printed
upon it in letters at least one inch in
height the word "Bleached," and this
word must be followed i y a statement
as to the process used. In other words,
the expression "Bleached artificially,"
or "Bleached by chlorine," must be
printed underneath the word
"Bleached." Notice is given that, be
ginning on the date named, any flour
found in the State not so marked will
be dealt with according to the pure food
laws.
The setion of the department iB hased
upon the pure food laws of the State,
which prohibit the use, without so stat
ing on the package, of any process de
signed to cover up inferiority in grade.
It ia said that flours bleached by this
process have the appearance of 95 per
cent, patent flour. It is also claimed
that the sale of bleached flour without
so indicating it has hurt the business of
the smaller millers of Georgia, who are
unable to put in the expensive bleach
ing plants.

covery has been used successfully for

Is it really a mud-hole and a breeding
place for disease that the pigs seems
to enjoy on a hot day, or is it the water
that attracts them? As long as we
like hog meat (especially ham and ba
con) as much as we do, we are not go
ing to admit that a hog doesn't like
clean water better than filth. Water,
except to drink, is not necessary for a
hog, if he has shade; but clean water to
wallow in is good for him. Why not
i provide a wallowing vat that can be
: cleaned out occasionally? Too much
I trouble? Well, we have known men
I who thought it too much trouble to take
1 a bath. —The Progressive Farmer.

Chevrolet-^976
“The Product of Experience
yy
H-4 Baby Grand Touring Car, $750
C. The Chevrolet Motor Company has once more doubled its manu
facturing facilities, factory organization and production in the num
ber of Chevrolet Cars. These great increases are the results of
modern factory methods and the installation of special machinery
throughout all Chevrolet plants.
c. But the above is not alone responsible for our radical price
reduction on 1916 Chevrolet Cars.
H Our price reductions are also due to the fact that for years we
have devoted our time, energies, and best thoughts to the manu
facture of “FOURS.” We believe in “FOURS.” We build “FOURS”
—the safe, simple, cheap to operate, thoroughly tried and proven
CHEVROLET (Valve-in-the-Head) “FOURS.”
We Build Them in the Interest
Of the Consumer
C, The retail dealer must sell on a narrower margin; the distributor must sell on
a much narrower margin; and the manufacturer must sell on a very much nar
rower margin to enable the consumer to secure an honest car at so near a one
hundred per cent, value that he will not suffer a violent shrinkage in the value
of his car when the “announcement period" arrives in the very middle of the
natural riding season.
c The above frank statements give the real reasons for our great reductions in
1916 prices; —and note, the cars have not been cut a single hair-line in quality.
«L Chevrolet cars are just what their builders have dtsigned them to be —high-
class, fine, luxurious. They have no superiors in hill climbing ability, and few,
at any price, exceed them in speed performance.

Is Sickness a Sin?
If not, it is wicked to neglect illness
and means of relief. It is wicked to
endure liver ills, headache, indigestion,
constipation, when one dose of Po-Do-
Lax gives relief. Po-Do-Lax is Podo-
ghyllin (May Apple,) without the
gripe. It arouses the liver, increases
the How of bile—nature’s antiseptic in
the bowels. Your constipation and
other ills disappear overnight, because
Po-Do-Lax has helped nature to remove
the cause. Get a bottle from your
druggist to-day. Get rid of your con
stipation overnight.
"0, Think of the Home Over There,”
is the sweet refrain of a popular hvmn.
We don’t want to throw any cold water
on the efforts of this pious poet, but
we do wish he hsd directed his ener
gies to the improvement of the home
down here. When a man or woman
thinks of the "home over there” so
much that the home below the clouds
gets but little attention, we think that
kind of piety is not practical. Think
of the home that you occupy, and try
to make it better, happier, and purer.
The Home over there is in better
hands, and won’t need your attention
until you get there.
During Joseph Choate’s early prac
tice he was opposed in a certain case
by a hot-tempered attorney, who pos
sessed more brawn than mental acumen.
In the progress of the case Choate’s
adversary wholly departed from his
self-control, and threatened physical
hurt to his opponent. “I can whip Bix
like you,” asserted the lawyer. Choate
looked at him with a profound and
calm contempt. “When I was a boy,”
he returned, “my father owned a bull.
He was a wonder to fight. He could
whip all the cattle in the neighborhood,
and did it. But at that,” concluded
Choate, "he couldn’t win a lawsuit.”
In nearly every case boys who bring
sorrow and disgrace upon their pa
rents are those who are allowed te run
on the streets at night. With the
Bhades of night to a boy comes the op
portunity for bad associations that do
not temot him in the broad light of
day. Evil doesn’t i-talk abroad at
noonday, and hence a boy is not apt to
come in contact with it with the sun at
meridian. Keep your boys off the
streets at night —or, rather, safelv
sheltered in the home nest, where evil
influences never enter to lead them
astray.
One Saturday a crcwd of childri n
were playing war in the back yard
Some were English soldiers, some
French, some German. One little girl,
who was told she was too small to play,
began crying audibly and kept it up in
spite of all they could do, and even af
ter the warning; “If you don’t shut up
mother will hear you and make you
come in the house.”
Finally the diflfioul'y was settled by a
bright boy of 10. "Oh, let her bawl,”
he counselled. "She can be the widows
and orphans.” —Everybody’s Magazine.
When a man's sins find him out they
are apt to hang around until he comes
in again.
When some won-.en move in society
they create more or less friction.
