Governor Hardwick said the dll
s'' i end Southern Rank, which dis-
« nited the rental, had notified him
that it was ready to place the whole
amount of the proceeds in the treas-
it ry at once.
"I am ready to draw warrants to
pay the pensions as soon as the Hot is
furnished me by the pension commis
sioner," the governor said. Pension

an inquiry, said he would furnish the

USE SLOAN’S TO
WARD OFF PAIN
L ITTLE aches grow into big pain*
unless warded off by an applica
tion of Sloan’s. Rheumatism,
neuralgia, stiff joints, lame back won’t
fight long against Sloan’s Liniment.
For more than forty years Sloan’s
Liniment has helped thousands, the
world over. You won’t be an excep
tion. It certainly does produce results.
It penetrates without rubbing. Keep
this old family friend always handy

of funds in the treasury. Some of
these go back to last year. The state’s
revenue for the present year not being
sufficient to pay these overdue pen
sions, Governor Hardwick recommend
ed to the legislature the passage of an
act authorizing the hypothecation of
the Western and Atlantic rental for 5
years. The act was passed and re
cently upheld by the supreme court in
a test case brought by the governor,
llids were asked and the * contract
awarded to the Citizens and Southern
Rank at the rate of 5.95 per cent.
The Western and Atlantic rental is
5540,000 a year. On five years rental
amo nting to 12,700,000 gross, the
state will realize about $2,300,000 net.
Tills will cover the overdue pensions
and leave about $400,000 to be used
for paying overdue school appropria
tions.
Will Not Increase Men’s Pa
Says Official of Central ky
Savannah, Ga.. Dec. 10.—Notice has
been served by the shop crafts em
ployes on the Central of Georgia, and
practically all other railways in the
country, that’they desire an increase
ih pay amounting to five cents an horr
more than they were receiving before
their last reduction In pay. They ask
for conferences on this subject.
This means that they want their
old back pay and five cents an hour
more. They were being paid on a ba
sin of 85 cents an hour when the wage
board ordered a general reduction of
eight cents. In accordance with this
order the roads are now paying their
machinists, blacksmiths and boiler
makers on a basis of 77 cents an hour.
The shop craft workers are asking
that the road resume the old schedule
of 85 cents and add to this five cents
an hour or a total of 90 cents an hour.
"The question will probably be tak
en to the wage board (or final settle
ment,” said L. A. Downs, .vice presi
dent and general manager'of the Cen
tral. "Hoads or employes do not go
uefore the board except In case of dis
agreement, and while there has not
been a real disagreement with the em
ployes, the railroads are certainly not
going to accede tothe proposed in
crease."

THREE CONVICTS AT
STATE FARM ESCAPE
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 8.—A prison de
livery at the State Farm Monday
about midnight lias just leaked to the
public, J. C. Moore, a convicted bank
robber, with a long and lurid record;
Charlie Hayes, bank robber of Fulton
county, and Julian McIntyre, serving
a one-year sentence for manslaughter,
made a clean get-away and, Prison
Commission officials here are of the
opinion that these are' the three men
who robbed a local at tomobile cstub
llshment on Whitehall street last
night of three Case cars and a big
truck load of accessories and tires.
Moore was serving a sentence of
twenty years for robbery of a bank
In Franklin county, where he held
up the cashier in daytime, and made
away with the bank's cash. Hayes
was serving an indeterminate sen
tence of 10 to 20 years for robbery
of the Bank of College Park In this
county.
Moore is wanted by the Federal gov
ernment, by whom a reward of $5,000
has been offered, for the theft of cer
tain Liberty Loan bonds. Among
prisoners with whom Moore has been
associated the story has been passed
around and finally got to the ears of
officials, that Moore has upward of
$65,000 in these bonds buried either in
Atlanta or Columbus, and it was be
lieved at the Prison Farm the three
escaped men were making their way
to Columbus.
From the prison office In Atlanta
the authorities of Columbus were no
tified to be on the lookout for the es
capes, but the nature of the automo
bile robbery In Atlantaf last night
leads to the later oplfflon that they
came here.

When a Federal Bureau reminds
you that children should not
drink coffee or tea—why not think
of your own health ?
The Federal Bureau of Education includes
in its rules to promote health among the Nation's
school children, the warning that children should
not drink coffee or tea.
The reason is well known. Coffee and tea
contain drugs which stimulate and often over-
excite the nerves, and so upset health.
The harm is by no means confined to chil
dren, as any doctor can tell you.

If health is valuable to childhood, it la valu
able always. If harm to health should be avoided
until bodies grow up, is it worth taking a chance
with health when bodies have grown top? -,
You can have that delicious and satisfying
cereal beverage, Postum, with any meal, and be
safe—you, and the children, too. There’s charm
without harm in Postum.
