THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY'
TROUBLE AND NEVER

i I
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
*» - z
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful in overcoming these condi
tions; The mild and healing influ
ence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record of sue- |
cess. |
An examining physician for one :
of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview of the I
subject, made the astonishing state,- ;
ment that one reason why so, many !
applicants for insurance are reject
ed is because kidney trouble is so i
common to the American people, ■
and the large majority of those I
whose applications are declined do
not even suspect that they have the I
disease. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root i
is- on sale at all drug stores in j
bottles of two sizes, medium and |
large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation ; end ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
Y., for a sample bottle. Whfn writ

Rupture Kills
7,000 Annually
Seven thousand persons each year are laid
sway—the burial certificate being marked
“Rupture." Why? Because the unfortunate
ones had neglected themselves or had been
merely taking care o£ the sign (swelling) of
the affliction and paying no attention to
the cause. What are you doing? Are you
neglecting yourself by wearing a truss, ap
pliance, or whatever name you choose to call
it? At best, the truss is only a makeshift,
a false prop against a collapsing wall—and j
cannot be expected to act as more than a I
mere mechanical support. The binding pres
sure retards blood circulation, thus robbing
the weakened muscles of that which they
need most—nourishment.
Bat science has found away, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to make
a FREE test right in the privacy of their
own home. The PLAPAO method is un
questionably the most scientific, logical and
successful self-treatment for rupture the
world has ever known.
The PLAPAO Pad, when adhering closely ■
to tile body, cannot possibly islip or shift

‘WET’ VIEWS MAY
COST HITCHCOCK
LEADER’S PLACE
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau)
623 Kiggs Building.
BY THEODOBE TILLER
WASHINGTON, April 6. —Deflec-
tion of Senator Morris Sheppard, 'of
Texas, and possibly one or more
other “drys,” wjll in all probability
cost Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
the minority leadership in the sen
ate. It became known today that
Senator Sheppard has finally made
up his mind that he cannot support
Senator Hitchcok because of the lat
ter’s advocacy of amendments to the
prohibition law permitting the manu
facture and use of light wines ano
beer.
Senator Sheppard voted for Sena
tor Hitchcock in tfte Democratic
caucus which resulted in a tie be
twen Senator Underwood and Sena
tor Hitchcock. However, it is un
derstood that Senator Sheppard while
deserting Hitchcock is unwilling to
transfer his allegiance to Senator
Underwood, because he regard? the
Alabama senator as also having
“wet” leanings.
The Texts senator is looking about
for a compromise candidate for whom
he and possibly other radical drys in
the senate may vote. Because of the
Hitchcock-Underwood tie. Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, has
teen suggested as a compromise, but
Mr. Simmons says his health will not
permit his accepting of the Demo
cratic leadership if offered to him.
Senator Trammell, of Florida, is
reported to be another Democrat
about to leave Senator Hitchcock be
cause cf his light wine and beer
platform. Indications altogether are
that Mr. Hitchcock will lose out at
the next caucus, whether a com
promise candidate is put forward or
whether Senator Underwood and him
self run the contest through.
Senator Hitchcock will leave next
-week for Nebraska and will spend
several days there in the Interest of
his candidacy as a delegate to the
San Francisco convention. On his
return to Washington he expects to
call a second Democratic caucus to
settle the minority leadership. The
Nebraska senator is aware that- he

DR. W. B. CALDWELL
As I am today, aged 81 years
I ASK those of you who have children in the house to fill
out the coupon below and let me send you a free trial
bottle of my well-known laxative, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. The offer is open to everyone but I especially urge
young mothers, and particularly those who have not the
advice of an older woman, to take advantage of it. Try
Syrup Pepsin for your child’s sake.
I have been a practising phy

my 82nd year) and I know the
doubts and fears that creep into
the young mother’s mind when
the baby cries or the children
will not laugh and play.
I know from my 45 years ex

nine times out of ten it is nothing
more than constipation. Give a
teaspoonful of Syrup Pepsin and
the child will have a restful night,
will eliminate the troublesome
matter in the morning, and be
bright and cheerful again.
Try Syrup Pepsin when the <
child is restless, bilious, fever

it at the first sign of a cold or

POLITICIANS ARE
WONDERING WHAT
SUFFRAGE MEANS
WASHINGTON. April 6.—Bal
lots cast by women in the coming
presidential election will fall short
of the potential men’s ote by over
2,500,000, provided the suffrage
amendment is ratified and state reg
istration laws enacted in time to per
mit all women all over the country
to participate, accot*ding to estimates
by the National Woman’s party.
With the 1910 census as a basis,
the woman's party estimates ■ the
number of men eligible to vote at
29,577,690, and the possible woman
voters at 26,883,566. In 1916, how
ever, the actual vote cast for all va
rious presidential candidates was 18.-
528,743, omitting ballots thrown out
for cause, which leaves over 11,000.-
000 possible otes unregistered. If as
large a proportion of the men voters
remain indifferent ino the coming
election, women political leaders
here say that the eagerness of wom
en to exercise their newly acquired
privilege may more than offset the
disparity in numbers between the
sexes.
In five of the states, rnoreover,
womenof voting age .outnumber the
men. Massachusetts has the great
est preponderance of women “vot
ers” more women than
wen, NzTrth Carolina is next with a
women’s majority of 15,288 and
South Carolina with 10,307 is third.
In Rhode Island women of voting
age outnumber the men by 3,186 and
in Maryland by 1,292.
stands to lose one or more votes be
cause of his attitude on the prohibi
tion question, but he had frankly an
nounced his views in telegrams to
Nebraska Democrats.
Senator Hitchcock said recently
that he approves of prohibition and
the abolition of the saloon, but he
also believed the people had a right,
and should exercise it, to amend the
prohibition law so that light wines
and beer may be manufactured in the
United States.
well’s Syrup Pepsin is a combi
nation of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin. Among its impor
tant ingredients is true Egyptian
Senna, which every physician
knows is especially suited to con
stipation in women, children and
old folks because of its sure yet
mild action on the stomach and
bowels and its freedom from
griping and pain. I originally
prescribed Syrup Pepsin in 1875.
It has been regularly sold by
druggists stnee 1892, and last year
the American people bought over
7 million bottles at drug stores.
That should be proof enough of
its wonderful merit in constipa
tion and similar ills.

Abuse of Senator Smith
H 7 ill Not Help Palmer,
Declare Georgia Editors
ABUSE WILL NEVER HELP
AM ER ICU S TIM ES- RECO RDER -
It is deplorable that the Georgia
campaign, as respects the presiden
tial preference primary of April
20, has degenerated in some quar
ters to a campaign of mud-slinging,
villification and abuse of a personal
nature. Which is about as certain
to result in good for the people of
Georgia as is an appeal to a Chi
nese idol to swat the, boll weevil.
So much of heated passion is be
ing dragged into the campaign that
the people are becoming bewildered
and befuddled, and are having less
and less chance to understand the
real issues involved. Passion and
prejudice never aided in clear, level
headed thinking, and this is a time
when the problems of ot\r country
demand clear thinking to the limit
of the ability of every voter.
This being the case, Senator Hoke
Smith should be given not only a
courteous hearing, but as /general
a hearing as possible. when he •
speaks in Americus on Wednesday
of this week, and, likewise. Attor
ney General Palmer, if arrange
ments are completed for his ex
pected visit here, should be given
a respectful and conscientious hear
ing. These leaders in the contest
for the Democratic presidential
preference in Georgia hold views
somewhat divergent, and unless the
voters know in what respects they
differ, unless they analyze the po
sitions of each thoroughly and hon
estly with themselves, they will be
dependent for their views in a
large measure upon the prejudiced
utterances of partisan commentators
which are found in one or the oth
er camps in many parts of the
state.
WATSON—PALMER—HOKE SMITH
AUGUSTA HERALD: With the
withdrawal of the name of Presi
dent Wilson from the presidential
primary, the race in Georgia lies be
tween Watson, Palmer and Hoke
Smith. It is conceded that the is
ues involved are principles rather
than any serious effort on the part
of any of the candidates for election
to the office of president of the Unit
ed States. In fact it is immaterial
which of these candidates carries the
Georgia primary so far as it will
have any effect upon their chances
either to secure the Democratic
nomination or to be elected by the
people of this country in the national
election.
Georgia being a solidly Democrat
ic state on one hand and Pennsylva
nia, the home of Attorney General
Palmer, being equally solidly Repub
lican, none of these candidates offer
any hope to carry doubtful and
needed states in the national elec
tion. This fact is so well recognized
in national party politics that it is
useless to argue it from a practical
standpoint.
On the other hand, the principles
involved in the candidacies of Thom
as E. Watson, A- Mitchell Palmer and
Hoke Smith are nation-wide—they
are the same principles that will be
fought out and decided in every
state of the union by the various
elements that compose the Demo
cratic party. These principles must
eventually be decided upon in tne
national Democratic convention when
it assembles at San Francisco.
The Herald believes that a ma
jority of the American people, as
well as a majority of the voters of
Georgia are in favor of reservations
for the League of Nations that will
bring out strongly the American view
and preserve American traditions.
We believe that this sentiment will
prevail in the Georgia primary, just
as it will prevail in the Democratic
national convention when it declares
the will of the party on this subject
in San Francisco.
And the way for Georgia to make
its voice heard and effective in the
councils of the national -convention
is to send to the convention dele
gates who will represent a majority
of the voters of the state.
It is to be hoped that Senator Hpke
.Smith will speak in. Augusta before
the date of the primary and that .Jhe-»
voters of this section of the
may have an opportunity to hear nis
views on the peace treaty and
League of Nations.
Smith In the Lead
DUBLIN COURIER - HERALD:
Senator Hoke Smith has quite a fol
lowing hereabouts: Watson has nu
merous friends here and probably
some could be found that see the
salvation of the country in Mr.
Palmer, but of the three it is like
ly, in fact very likely, that Mr.
Smith would emerge with a consid
erable leaji. Os the three candidates,
Hoke Smith and Palmer are unde
niably presidential timber, for what
ever there may be said against them,
they are big- men in the political
arena, with quite a political record,
of which the Georgia senator’s is
probably the longest and most ac
tive. Then, whatever other argu
ment may be brought to bear, we are
undeniably confronted with the fact
that of the three two represent the
extreme ground of being absolutely
for and against the League of Na
tions, while the third represents
what is held to be a middle course,*
The Only Issue
SYLVANIA TELEPHONE: The
newspapers that are supporting At-
Wirney General Mitchell Palmer for
president should not hope to obscure
the issue that is before the people of
Georgia by attacks upon Senator
Hoke Smith. This tljey-are doing,
most of them, seeming to think that
if they can find flaws in the senator’s
record, then they have made out a
good case for Mr. Palmer, and the
League of Nations.
Hut the people will not be fooled
by this. There is one issue ip this
campaign, and only one—the presi
dent himself hath said it. and upon
this it must be fought—the League
of Nations as Mr. Wilson drafted it,
without the change of a single word
or punctuation, or the League of Na
tions with the reservations that a
large majority of th& senate wanted
to pass.
Senator Smith’s candidacy is a
secondary matter, and if he had not
gone on the ticket in this state thou
sands of Georgians could not .have
voted at all in the primary on ’April
20. So let us not lose sight of the
main issue—it rises higher than the
personality of any candidate, it is
a fight for a principle, for the preser
vation of the principles that were
handed down to us by the founders
of our government.
Can’t Carry Own State
MACON NEWS: Mitchell Palmer is
bitterly opposed by the Democrats of
his own state, which he cannot re
motely hope to carry, and .yeQ he is
making motions as if he expected to
carry Georgia.
Criticism vs. Censure
THE ATHENS HERALD —Casting)
a vote for Senator Smith in the
presidential preferential primary,
April 20, can no more be construed
as a repudiation of the Wilson ad
ministration than were the recent
editorial criticisms of the president’s
abrupt dismissal of Secretary Lan
sing by some of the very newspapers
who are now berating the senior
senator for taking the stand that
the administration has done some
things which would be for
the Democrats to indorse.
There is a vast difference between
censure and criticism. To censure
means the finding of some faults,
real or supposed; it refers mostly to
the conduct of individuals. Criti
cism is altogether argumentative; it
takes nothing for granted, it ana
lyzes and decomposes, it compares
and combines, it asserts and sup
ports the assertions. Certain politi
cal opponents of Senator Hoke
Smith who are now casting slurs
upon him for criticizing the League
of Nations in an argumentative man
ner because they claim he is embar
rassing President Wilson and
Democratic party are guilty of cen
suring the president for having dis
missed the recent secretary of sta f e
—apd the office of the critic is ac
knowledgedly more honorable than
that of the censurer.
Senator Smith declares that he fa
vors indorsing most of the accom
plishments of the Democratic admin
istration, but that some acts have
been committed which in his opin-

OPENING SPEECH
. IN JAMESVILLE
BY ED H. ERADLEY
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal)
GAINESVILLE, Ga„ April
Speaking to aii audience of Hall
county citizens, Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer today opened his
campaign in Georgia for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination. De
spite the weather, which was not par
ticularly! conducive to outdoor ora
tory, Mr. Palmer elected to make his
address in the plaza in front of the
courthouse frdm a gaily decorated
platform erected for the purpose by
the Hall county committee in charge
of the Palmer campaign.
The attorney general devoted most
of his speech to an attack on the mo
tives impelling Senator Hoke Smith
to enter the preferential primary
April 20. He attacked him on the
ground that the senior senator from
Georgia is and has been moved by a
desire to embarrass the Wilson ad
ministration and that he is now play
ing hand in glove with those who
would discredit the administration
in the eyes of the American people.
Mr. Palmer let it be plainly under
stood that 114 puts Senator Smith in
the category of me “bitter enders”
who are against the League of Na
tions. He characterized him as a
member of a “two-faced” faction in
the United States senate, who, he,
said, claimed to be in favor of the.
league, but at the same time aid their
best to slab it in the back with nul
lifying reservations. He questioned
Senator Smith’s sincerity in becoming
a candidate for the presidency in the
Georgia primary and charged that the
senator’s campaign was a part of a
general program put on in all sec
tions of the country by the enemies
of the administration to control tlie
San Francisco convention and re
verse the policies inaugurated by the
Democratic party during the past
seven years.
Later on in his speech, the attor
ney general turned his attention to
the constructive legislation enacted
during the Wilson administration and
gave a comprehensive description Os
the various phases of activity car
ried on undir the direction and sup
ervision of the Democratic party.
The Crowd
Mr. Palmer had a good crowd. Not
all of them were his supporters and,
in fact, a good percentage of his au
ditors were dyed-in-the-wool Hoke
Smith men. There was a sprinkling
of Watson adherents in the crowd,
too. The meeting had been well ad
vertised by the Palmer campaign
committee, headed by H. H. Dean and
Edgar B. Dunlap. The wet weather
that has prevailed for the past sev
eral days made it impossible for the
farmers to work in the fields, and
many of them made it a sort of holi
day to spend the day in town and
satisfy their appetite for political
oratory.
In the course of his remarks, Mr.
Dunlap emphasized the fact that Mr.
Palmer stands for the indorsement of
“every phase” of the Wilson ad
ministration and that he “indorses
the League of Nations without res
ervations of any kind.” Mr. Dunlap
impressed this upon his audience
with much fervor.
It developed this morning that
•Messrs. Dean and Dtinlap on Monday
circulated a petition among the pro
prietors of business establishments
asking them to close up shop during
Mr. Palmer's speech. Some of the
business men agreed, but more than
thirty of them declined to sign the
petition.
:’ The presidents of Brenau college
and Riverside academy were also
urged to dismiss their students so
that they might attend the meeting
and, in accordance with the wishes
of Mr. Dean, this was done, so that
the audience which greeted Mr. Pal
mer contained'many young men and
women from these institutions. The
school teachers of Hall county gath
ered here today for their regular
conference, consequently the schools
enjoyed a holiday.
Georgia Fruit Crop Is
Apparently Safe as
Cold Wave Vanishes
It apepars that the Georgia peach
crop is safe again.
The report from the weather bu
reau Tuesday morning was encour
aging.
“The temperature reached only
down to 32 degrees,” said C. F. von
Herrmann. “It was about the same
aS Monday morning at 10 o’clock. Os
course this temperature is a bit
warmer than it was right at the
I ground level, where there was ice in
Atlanta and plenty of frost. Reports
of frost were turned in by Jackson
ville. -Savannah, Macon and Augusta,
the last two reporting heavy frost.
But it did not get as cold as we
feared, and I am inclined to believe
the peach crop is not damaged to
any extent.”
At the offices of the Georgia Fruit
Exchange, this view was shared by
E. W. Williams, chief clerk, based on
scattering returns just beginning to
trickle in from the peach belt.
“Nothing like complete reports
yet,” he said, “but I think the tem
peratures were not severe enough to
do any great amount of harm.”
The weather man said prospects
were now for fair and warmer
weather; about 40, degrees Wednes
day morning, and continuing to mod
erate during the day.
Gasoline as Necessary
As Horse Food, Ruling
HUNTINGTON, W. Va., April 6.
Gasoline is as necessary for an au
tomobile as feed for a horse, ruled
Magistrate Samuel Wright in dis
charging two Huntington garage
owners who were charged with hav
ing violated the “Sunday closing
law. 1 ’
TJie defendants were arrested Sun
day on orders of Mayor C. W. Camp
bell, who charged that they had sold
gasoline to autoists in violation of
the “bl|»e law.” i
ion do inot deserve the sanction of
the party, and for that certain news
papers in the state who occupied the
office of censurer when the president
dismissed Lansing, an act of the ad
ministration, are now villifying the
senior senator.
The dismissal of Lansing was an
act of the administration. Certain
newspapers jumped on the president
with both feet and scored him heav
ily because he committed the act.
Can those newspapers face about
now and eclare that every act of the
administration should be indorsed?
If they can consistently do so, then
they can consistently and conscien
tiously chide / Senator Smith because
he refuses to indorse every act of
the administration.
If they cannot, if they do not feel
that they can condone that and oth
er acts of the president which have
elicited no inconsiderable amount of
scolding at the hands of these same
organs, perhaps they will be more
generous concerning the senior sena
tor’s position, and if they will not
grant him permission to censure the
president (as they did) they will at
least allow him the privilege of crit
icizing the League of Nations docu
ment (an office which is constitu
tionally senatorial), without charg
ing him with party treachery.

DEPLORES ABUSE
IN THE PRESENT
STATE PRIMARY
Editor Journal: What a pity it is
that in the midst of political cam
paigns we cannot discuss the issues
dispassionately and unprejudiced.
The coming elections this year are
for the purpose of. conserving the
public welfare and not for the selfish
aggrandizement of any one. or the
appeasing .of malignant spleen and
myopic vengeance.
'Personally • almost any man who
announces for the presidency of the
United States is invariably good
enough to fill that office, but we
should not be influenced mainly by
our personal admiration for a candi
date but mostly, for the things the
candidate stands for.
In all political contests the voter
should think more of the country
than of the candidate.
There are five distinct reasons why
I am going to vote for Hoke Smith
in our preferential primary. First,
he is a Georgian; second, he is a
southern statesman; third, the Dem
ocratic parts’ of the south plays the
leading part in the election of a
Democratic president; fourth, it is
getting high time that the south was
enjoying this imperative and right
ful recognition; fifth, Hoke Smith is
as great and as capable Democrat as
is seeking that distinguished honor.
I have no personal objections to
A; Mitchell Palmer. I concede his
good citizenship, his substantiability
of character. I am opposed to him
because of some of the things that
he stands for, and because he cannot
carry the section of country in which
he resides and -because he c&nnot be
elected president of the United States
without the Democratic vote of the
south, and If in the election of a
Democratic president the south must
furnish the votes, she ought not to
be denied the privilege of furnishing
the president.
It seems to be the mission of cer
tain so-called leaders to arouse the
malice rather than the reason of the
masses, because they know that
malice blinds our mental visions and
loses the voter while reason turns
on the light, clarifies the situation
and enables the voter to see clearly
how to discharge his political duties.
He who subordinates the welfare
of the state to the interest of the
candidate commits a political crime.
There must be a stop to mud-sling
ing, to aspersions, to billingsgate
and calumniations. Candidates and
their friends who indulge in such
are unworthy of public support or
public trust, for they will betray
and misrepresent the people or the
cause'they profess to serve.
1/p.m especially proud of the op
portunity of voting for a fellow-
Georgian, pre-eminently fitted to fill
the high office of president. I hope
no Georgian will permit the oppor
tunity to pass by without helping to
remove the foul blotch from the es
cutcheon of this republic which has
kept our southland from her legiti
mate place and proud privilege in
furnishing the country her quota of
splendid presidential timber. Shamr
on thp policy and belittling spirit,
“all things being equal,” that would
not. support her southern Democrat
with the possibility of election, in
stead of a northern Democrat with
no hope of the nomination.
We want to see national cam
paigns removed from the quagmires
of vilification and lifted above the
dust of petty personalities and ne
farious vituperations/
I believe Georgia will prove herself
worthy of the opportunity that the
20th of May will bring to the voters.

COTTON INDUSTRY
THREATENED BY
PINK BOLL WORM
WASHINGTON, April 6. —Reap-
pearance of the pink boll worm in
Texas and discovery of the insect in
Louisiana present the most serious
situation which has ever confronted
the cotton industry of the United
States, according to ex!pei-ts of the
department of agriculture. Unless
preventfcre measures be immediately
taken, a review of the situation is
sued today said, the boll worm will
become a permanent and serious
limiting factor in the production of
cotton.
The drastic quarantine now being
enforced in Louisiana gives hope of
an eradication of the pest in that
section, the review said, but the
“unfortunate result” of the resump
tion of cotton growing in Texas dis
tricts where the boll worm has be
come entrenched threatens to undo
the work of stamping out the de
stroyer.
“As a result of the failure of the
state of Texas to carry out the pro
gram of control which had been
promised, if the insect ,should re
appear,” the review stated, “a new
and very serious the situa
tion developed early in 1920. The
one drawback to success now is the
delay in Texas in establishing non
cotton zones for the infected areas,
a delay which already has resulted
in the planting of considerable areas
in cotton. Destruction of this cot
ton later on, if authorized by the
state, will simply mean that much
greater cost.”
The added the depart
ment Mas urged from the beginning
that in view of the sacrifies made
by the planters of the invaded dis
trict, in the Interests Os the state as
a whole, steps shpuld be taken by
the state to reimburse them for their
net losses.
“The strongest emphasis,” it said,
“has been placed upon the fact that
the extermination of the insect in
Texas and Louisiana is absolutely
Contingent on the prohibition of the
growth of cotton in infected areas.
The growth of cotton under restric
tion or other methods of control will
simply mean the perhaps slower, but
no less certain, ultimate spread of
the pest.~

A “DEAD SHOT”
-SAYS MINISIER
Black-Draught Given High
Praise As a Stomach and
Liver Medicine by Well-
Known OJd Gentleman
Who Has Used it
Mineola, Tex.—The Rev. M. G. Jen
kins, a retired minister of the M. E.
Church, South, living in this city,
says-. “I have used Black-Draught
as a stomach and medicine, and
have never found its equal.
“Once I suffered for two months
with cramps and pains, tried every
thing I could hear of without avail,
but Black-Draught was a ‘dead shot.’
“I am known here and all ove? the
--state for my honesty and truthful
ness. I am years old and have
used Black-Draught for years.
“I can highly recommend It to any
one as a liver medicine that has no
equal. It is excellent for stomach,
liver and other ailments. I use it
for a bad taste in the mouth, head
ache and other sickness that come
from the disorders of the liver.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is’purely
vegetable, and acts actively on the
bowels, gently stimulating the liver,
and helping to increase the-norffial
discharge of bile into the intestines.
It assists in the digestion of food
and relieves constipation in a prompt
and natural way.

Cured His RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk
several years ago. Doctors said my only
hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did
me no good. Finally I got hold of some
thing that quickly and completely cured me.
Years have passed and the rupture has never
returned, although I am doing hard work as
a carpenter. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to
sell, but will give full information about
how you may find a complete cure without
operation. If you write to me, Eugene M.
