Page Four FROM DALTON CITIZEN. The following was clipped from the Dalton Citizen of December 13, 1923. The clipping follows: In another place of this paper is a communication from Commissioner Perry,of the public service commis sion. Friend Perry seems to think we did him wrong in a more or less flippant paragraph which appeare m last week’s Citizen. We did not in tend to offend, and gladly give space to his rather lengthy rejoinder. \\ e are going to try to be more careful in the future when we spea.. of chips. Think. We Did Him An ln,u.t.ce To the Editor of The Dalton Citizen. You state in your paper of Decem ber 6th, “Our friend Perry, of the Georgia puublic service commission, seems to have a chip on his shoulder. Most everything the the does is unsatisfactory to him.” \onr statements just referred to are in correct,in point of fact; they do me an injustice and I feel sure you will not deny me the opportunity to re ply thereto, even at some It gtfc. There are only three instances whch you could have had in mind that prompted the discrediting state ment made by you. You had a per fect right to comment on these as you did, and lam not now complain ing that you did so. The instances referred to began in January of this year, when I pro posed that the commssion should hold daily sessions. This, had it been done, would onlybe carying out the requirements of the law. iinoe the acts of 1907 the chairman of the commission has been required to give his entire time to the dut'es of hs office, and for this special extra servee he was given $1,500.00 per year more than the other members. In 1910 another $1,000.00 was add ed to the chairman’s salary and sl,- 100.00 increase for the other mem bers of the commision, the act pro viding for this last increase express lyprovides that each member of the commission shall give his entire time to the duties of hs offce. Inlßl2 the appropration for the commission was increased about $35,000.00 per annum, or about- qu ble what it had previously been, and only after long and earnest effort* of the commission ;and with the promise over and over again that the emmission if thus provided for, would be in a position to go to work. Accordngly I introduced a resolu tion carrying out this promise of the commission as well as complying with aspecal requirement of the law, and strange to say, certain members of the commission took offense at it. At the sumer sesion of the legis lature this year I was called upon to make a statement to a committee of the house of representatives con cerning the work of the commission. In this statement I pointed out the unfortunate results from not attend ing to the business of the offce as the law requires. Among them, I named instances where the secretary has handled matters coming to the commission, to afinal conclusion, de nying therelief sought, without knowledge on the part of any mem ber of the commission, except the chairman, and in one case without the chairman’s knowledge. I further stated, and the minutes of the com mission show it to be true, that Commissioners Price and McDonald were in this office, for the first six months this year, at the rate of only fivedays per month, and since the legislature adjourned on the 15th of August until it reconvened on the 7th of November, they were here only four days permonth. As above stated, there are two statutes requir ing the entire time of the chairman, and for which he is now paid sl,- 400.00 per year more than the other members of the commission, and for which he is expected to be in his of- HOME SWEET HOME Oscar Tells What He Knows l “In-Slallments” by Terry r Gilkison A W ©CASTER IaMP WHEN HE WA9 yf WELL PIP / AIO.TME JUPbE CLAIMEP Cl ITII C AERE<STEP.FOR PUNCHING 1 THE JOPoE ( THAT HE PIPN’T PUNCH THE VUTILE A COLLECTOR IN THE NOSE \ LET HI1A? NOS E IM TASIfi? HE WANTEP TO PAY HIS N. fice every work day in the week, holidays excepted, or otherwise en gaged in a discharge of his official duties. Beginning with the introduction of the resolution referred to and since the statement to the legislative committee the members of the com mission have seen fit to subject me jto every humiliation that a gentle man could be subjected to. Another happening that went to the public was my refusal to sign the letter of transmittal to the governor and general assembly, as required by law. I did this because of the statement teherin that the commis sion was then doing more work than ever before. My reason for not sign ing it, is that the statement is un true. As a matter of fact, he bus iness coming before the commisson in 1920 was less than in 1919 and there has been a corresponding de crease each year since, with this year showing less than any year since I came to the commission in Decem ber, 1911. This statement applies to the work of the commission as a whole. There has been an increase in the rate department, due to a gen eral revision o rates in Georgia starting in 1921. There may be seen an increase in number of cases dock eted this year, consisting of unim portant and undefended cases. Such as applcations for the discontinuance of express and telegraph oiices, switching, sidetrack facilities and similar cases. But as for the usual number of sase requiring time, be yond the public hearing, we haven’t had them. Another, and the third case, which recently came to your atention. was the mater of selecting delegates to to the associaion of railroad and util ities commissioners, which met in Mi ami, Fla., last week. 1 made a motion that the special atorney and the sec retary be not included among those to attend, for the reason that, in my opinion, they could not be construed as being on business for the commis sion, and without such, we had no right to spend the money appropriat ed for the use of the commision. I caled attention to the fact that our former special atorney, Judge Hines, who was wih us for fourteen years, never atended one of these conven tions; that the association held its meeting here in Atlanta two years ago, when the special atorney and secretary were present only at the public or opening exercises, during the four days it was in session. One of the members of the commission was only present as the secretary and specal attorney, another was here a short time before the close, another was not in Atlanta the en tire week of the convention. In fact, only two members of the commis sion and the rate expert made any pretense at attendance on the busi ness sessions of the association. I make this comparison ilustrating the importance of the sepcial attorney and secretary attending the Florida convention. Draw your own conclu sions. I further stated tnat to vote for such a trip, for one not having business, was to force the citizens of Georgia to pay the expenses of a pleasure trip for those coming under this rule; and this applies with equal force to the poorest and humblest woman or child throughout the state. I was alone, with the other four members against me, in the three cases mentioned, and I have no apol ogy for so being. On matters coming before the commission generally, I have reached conclusions ni accord with a majority of the commission. I think common justice calls for publication of this article, that your readers may have the oportunity to decide for themselves as to the cor rectness of your statement as quoted in the beginning. I am, with great respect, Yours very truly, JAS. A. PERKY. Atlanta, Ga., December 6, 1923.

Always say “Rowles USE SULPHUR TO HEAL YOUR SKIN Broken Out Skin and Itching Eczema Helped Over Night For unsightly skin eruptions, rash or blotches on face, neck, arms or body, you do not have to wait for relief from torture or embarrassment, declares a noted skin specialist.

AN OLD RECIPE TO DARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You vfill get a large bot tle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very littje cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and even ly.

Help Kidneys By Drinking More Water Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and Help Neutralize Irri tating Acids Kidney and bladder irritations often result from acidity, says a noted au thority. The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it may remain to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irri tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig ing you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer in constant dread; the tvater passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse: again, there is diffi culty in voiding it. Biadder weakness, most folks _ cal} it because they can’t control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to over come. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act nor mal again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by acid irri tation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects whatever. Here vou have a pleasant, efferves cent lithia-water drink which may quickly relieve your bladder irritation. By all means have your physician exam ine your kidneys at least twice a year. DISCHARGE IN BANKRUPTCY. In the District Court of the United States, For the Northern District of Georgia.
