THINK NEW EXPRESS
RULES ARE ONEROUS
Will Mean More Effort and Labor
for Shippers. Reduction of
Loss i* Aim.
Busir.e** men anticipote that con¬
siderable additional effort and labor
will be imposed upon them by the
new regulations governing thu pre
paring, lagging, marking and billing
of packages to be shipped by railway
express. Individual* as well as rner
cantiie house* are affected by the
stringent requirements.
Shipments not conforming with the
new regulation* will be rejected by
representatives of the express com
pany. Merchants are cautioned not
to ship by express until they have
ca refully read the rules, copies of
which were received recntly by va
rious trade organizations.
The rules now in force were form¬
ulated by the federal railway admin
etration to reduce the enormous loas
es paid annually by the government
because of damage to goods in tran¬
sit. These losses have run a high at
$2,500,000 in a single month, the
communication states.
Among the new requirements an
ironclad provision is made that no
shipment weighing more than twen
ty-fivc pounds will be accepted il
wrapped in paper only. Paper boxe
will not be accepted.
Wooden containers or carton* of f
ber board, pulp board or corrugatet
strawboard of laboratory te*t oi
strength must be used. Glass, eart.
enware and fragile articles, such a
phonograph records and millinery
must be especially pucked, regardle*
of weight. The maximum weight o
one shipment of fragile urticie* i
limited to sixty-live pounds.
No standard test carton will bs a<
cepted for shipment that exceeds $>«
inches outside dimensions, length
width and depth. Certain paekagut
will require the addresses wired oi
others pasted as wall as written oi
the hipment. Instances are notet
where cardboard tags may be en.
ployed. The new waybills are smal
and it is required that they be paste,
on the goods shipped.

AND BUILD UP YOUR BLOOl
WITH PEPTO-MANGAN.
If it is true that you are not feel
jng your best—if you have that "ai
ways-ttred’ feeling and no interesi
or eiitixusiasm—then you should be
careful of the influenza.
It is thin-blooded, anemic peopU
that disease strikes tirst. The fact
that you have had a very few ser
ious illnesses has nothing to do with
it. Everyone gets run-down occa*
ionally, and when they do, the blood
is in no condition to tight off die
ease germs, because it has not
enough red corpuscles. It is the red
corpuscles of the blooo that fight dis
ease and save you from sickness.
You simply can’t, afford to take
chances when influenza is striking
at your blood—build it up with the
pleasant tonic, Pepto-Mangan.
And should you be just recover¬
ing from influenza, you need Pepto
Mangan because your blood has ex¬
hausted its strength. Pepto-Mangan
wiil help build you up.
Pepto-Mangan is widely and heart¬
ily endorsed by physicians. It is ef¬
fective and easy to take. Comes in
either liquid or tablet form. No dif¬
ference in medicinal properties.
Sold at any drug store. But be
sure you get the genuine Pepto-Man¬
gan—“Gude’s.” Ask for it by
the name and be sure the full name
is on the package. (Adv).

THE LEADER TRIBUNE, TORT VALLEY. GA., FEBRUARY S, 1920.
GEORGIA’S FURIOUSLY FUNNY
ANTI-TIPPING LAW.
Georgia ha* a perfectly good anti
tipping law. It was conceived in pa
triotism and ordinary com of1 .sense
and enacted into law by the state
ioKiaiature in perfect good faith.
Nobody pay* the slightest atten¬
tion to it.
So Jar as its effect upon the tip
ping nuisance in Georgia is concern
ed it might a* well have been written
into the luws of Iledjaz—wherever
and whatever and why that is.
The truth of the matter is the rea¬
son no hotel, restaurant, club or pub¬
lic place pays any attention to the, law
is because there is little or no public
sentiment behind it; that is, there is
no aggresive, assembled and deter¬
mined public sentiment behind it.
I he genera] public doubtless would
be only too glad to get rid of the tip¬
ping evil, if it could. But so far it
has not been able to see its way
clear.
So universal has the tipping CU3
om become that the business has
.on reduced to orderly statistical
rray by authorities, and one may
:onsider the problem from a broad
nd comprehensive point of view.
The United States Monthly Labor
leview presents some interesting and
ignificant figures in this matter
vhich are well worth thinking upon,
n the large cities waiters get a i av
rage of $2.28 a day in tips Wash
igton gives them $3.67 a day; New
ork $3.10 and Indianapolis $1.16.
he average for hotel porters is $1.60
day. Pittsburg heads the list with
33.60 a day, but the average ir. In
lianapolis is only 13 cents. Bell
oys are given an average of $2.] 6
day and the luckless chambermaid*
eeeive an average of only 42 cents.
8 cents in New Orleans and 11
cuts in Omaha.
These are illuminating figures,
hey tell a rather startling story oi
he widespread ramifications ot the
ipping evil.
And what is the general pubic
oing to do about it,
Apparentely, nothing.
That is, nothing, by way of stop
ing it.
Georgia has a fine anti-tippinr
iw, that other states might copy—
' said states wish
to have something
aore or less new to tickle them and
take them laugh.

HE INTER-CHURCH WORLD
MOVEMENT IN ATLANTA
Two outstanding examples of,inter
aeial co-operation in Atlanta, Ga
re the result of the efforts of the
nter-Church World Movement. A
ommittee, which was a part of th,
arger body on church co-operation
(ttnposed of delegates of the Pro
estunt denominations, both whit,
nd colored people, came together t
onsider frankly the needs of tin
egroes of Atlanta. The result was
hat the Board of Education, through
;ie urgent, appeal ot this committee,
oted, by a two-thirds majority, to
urn one of the white public school
nto a Junior High School for N 0
;roes, which is to be opened Januar;
>, 1920. This is the first high
chooi for negroes in Atlanta, and
;o makes a distinct advance in the
tity’s educational policy.
Another accomplishment is shown
n the folowing cliping from the W es
cyan Christian Advocate:
The Negro park tendered by the
Evangelical Minister’s Association to
he city has been accepted by the
ity authorities. This shows how
ome of the leading white men of this
ountry are seeking to maintain
more pleasant relations with the Ne
troes. 1 his park will be exclusive¬
ly for the use of the Ncyrops.
vARLY GARDENS IMPORTANT
IN GULF COAST REGION.
Gardens are going to be as im¬
portant the coming year as during
the war period, United States Depart¬
ment of Agriculture specialists de¬
clare. High food costs, they say,
-re likely to remain until more to eat
>s gro wn and distributed. Farm
gardens, village gardens, and city!
aekyard gardens all will help. Food '
produced in the garden not only
ae ps balance the family budget but
releases that grown on farms for the; ,
ise of people who are entirely de
pendent upon others.
M ith the lengthening of the days
will be ,
c not long until land can be
■vorked, and such hardy crops as
’eas, onions, lettuce, radishes and
sets planted, especially throughout,
he lower Gulf Coast region. The
tverage date of the last killing frost -
f the winter in this section is not i
ster than March 15. This zone in
iudes the southern portion of South-;
'arolina, the southern half of Geor- !
ia, Alabama and Mississippi, almost
he whole of Louisiana and all south
•astern Texas. Several of the more
•ary garden crops, including trtese:
nentioned above, will withstand con-t
Iderable frost and may be planted
leas; a montn before th - average
for the last frost.

HIS PURATONE IS •
INTERESTING.
Crea'ed Censation jn Macon for Past
Several Weeks Ly His Unique The
or-.es, But Has Undoubtedly Ful
filled Every Statement.
John Pomeroy, the noted New
Zealand Scientist, who has been
creating such a sensation in Macon
for the past i'ew weeks, is now meet¬
ing the people of Atlanta.
Pomeroy says that ninety per cent
of all jli health is due to weak stom
achs, and ciaims to prove this with
his medicine- Puratone. In speak
in:' c this theory during an inter¬
view Wednesday afternoon, he. said'
Practically all the chronic ill health
of this generation is caused by abnor¬
mal stomach conditions. In earlier
lays, when the human race was closer
to nature and men and women work¬
ed out of doors all day, the tired,
Iroopy, half-sick people that are now
;) common did not exist. There was
ckness, hut it was only temporary
mil very rare. There was little of
this constant half-sick condition with
which so many are afflicted.

WHY PLANT CORN EARLY?
Earlier planting of large,
ve varieties oi corn is
euch more profitable than the nor
tal planting of early maturing
ieties. Proof of this has been ob
ained in many instances,
he Chief of the Bureau of Plant
lustry, i'nited .states Uepartmeot
agriculture, in reporting on the
ults of experiments conducted
temonstrate the practicability
alue of the earlier planting of corn.
ly much earlier than normal
ng it has been found that larger v t
defies can be profitably grown
msilage in northern localities with
nuch better yields than can be
rom the smaller native
danted at the usual date.
In the South, by planting small
iiort season varieties earlier than
ormal, much earlier n iturity can tie
ecured, ,nffording a supply of corn
or vei y early fceding. Many rather
•oft varieties that rot so badly when
planted early in southern local
ies. The planting of short ann
>ng season varieties in alternate
ows has increased yields where
moisture is a limiting factor.
Varmues differ, it has been found,
n their ability to adapt themselve -
u’d their grain production to vary¬
ing stands. Prolific varieties, when
,ven increased space, have shown
bilily to increase their grain pro¬
duction much more satisfactorily
r.han have the single ear varieties, be
ause of their ability to make up foi
defiency in stand.
The studies made by the depart¬
ment specialists have resulted in
isolating uniform types within a va¬
riety. It has been found that 20 -
.ailed variet ;es of corn are largely
onglomerates of many distinct
types, and to arrive at basic facts u;
breeding work it is necessary to so
gregate these uniform types.

in any quarter of the globe, you see
no general debility, no nerve exhaus
tion. They are not shut up all day
and they do not stuff themselves with
food when their bodies have not had
i enough exercise to justify it. The
j American people have been
: t his. for years and the American
itcniach has in consequence grown
.Jowly weaker.
In America to-day there are tens
| of thousands who do not know what
5 >2 . the matter with them. Some say
{nervousness, others kidney or lii—r
trouble, or lung trouble, or heart
trouble. Many have been ‘treated’
for all these things at various times.
A common complaint is ‘all run
down.’
“1 have a medicine that positively
will do nothing but put the digestive
organs in a condition to properly di¬
gest and assimilate food. It took me
years of research work all over the
Antipodes and the South Sea Islands
to get it, but here it is. With it I
have proved to thousands of pepole
all over the world that few people
can be sick with a sound stomach, f
have done this in Macon for the past
several weeks, and I will do the same
thing here in Atlanta. I shall en¬
deavor to prove every word I have
-aid before 1 leave.”
