A Spring
Tonic
Medicinal Native Plants that hold the secret of
life and death —By Lee H. Smith, M. D,
A man is seldom healthy and strong who lives in the dark or
in sunless rooms. After all, Nature’s ways are found to be the
best. Nature’s remedies are always best for eradicating disease
and by this we mean a medicine made of plants and herbs.
Dr. Pierce, founder of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute, at Buffalo, N. Y., in many years of extensive practice, found
that he could pin his faith to an alterative extract of certain plants
and roots for the eradication of blood diseases. This he called Dr.
Pierce’s. Golden Medical Discovery. Containing no alcohol nor
narcotics, entirely vegetable, this “Discovery” makes for rich red
blood and is a powerful tissue-builder; gives the tired business man
or woman renewed strength and health. Rapidly growing school
girls and boys often show impoverished blood by the pimples or
boils which appear on face or neck. To eradicate the poisons from
the blood, and feed the heart, lungs and stomach on pure blood,
nothing is so good as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. li
you “put your house in order” by making the blood pure you will
not be subject to such troubles. The spring of the year is the best
time to “clean house” because of the toxins (poisons) stored up
within the body during the long winter. This “Medical Discov
ery” of Dr. Pierce’s is just the thing for those who are recovering
from attacks of colds, flu, or pneumonia. It has been sold for
over fifty years and can be had in every drug store in the lard in
tablets or liquid. Send 10c for trial package of tablets t > Dr.
Piftrce’s Invalids’ Hotel in Buffalo. N. Y.

COTTON
NEW YORK, April 19. —The cotton mar
ket was irregular »nd unsettled during to
day'* early trading. Cable* were disap
pointing but the opening here was steady
at a decline of 25 points to an advance
or 18 points. After selling at 42.00 on
the oall. May rallied to 42.25, or net un
changed, while October sold up from 36.95
to 37.25 or 25 points net higher on reports
of further eastern belt rains and an unset
tled weather outlook. This bulge met in
creased offerings, however, owing to unfa
vorable labor reports from Lancashire and
reports of disturbed financial conditions in
Japan with prices turning easier before the
end of the first hour. October sold off to
36.95 or about 5 points net lower under
realizing, particularly by houses with Wall
street connections.
The weather map showed less precipita
tion than expected and the more active
positions sold about 14 to 25 points net
lower, during the middle of the morning
they rallied on the eastern belt forecast
for showers. Demand failed to broaden
materially, however, and prices turned eas
ier again early in the noon hour under
realizing and selling for a reaction. May
was relatively easy owing to rumors that
there had been selling against cotton which
might be shipped here for delivery and broke
to 41.80 or 45 points net lower, while later
months showed net losse* of some 10 to 27
points.
There were moderate rallle* early in the
afternoon, but they met increased offering,
and the market wai unsettled around 2
o'clock, with active month* selling about
25 to 50 point* below Saturday’s closing
figures. A sharp break in the price of May
at New Orleans hf’ped to unsettled senti
ment here and Wall etieet was a considerable
seller on the talk of tightening money

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, April 19.—Conflicting
weather reports caused an unsettled market
In cotton today. In the early trading the
market w’as Inclined to sag because official
returns did not show as much rain over the
belt as expected from the nature of private
weather account and prices fell off to lev
els of 16 to 23 points under the close of last
week. After the posting of the official
forecast, calling for generally showery
weather in the eastern belt and over a por
tion of the western, the market strength
ened again, recovered Its losses and went
19 to 32 points over Saturday’s final prices.
July fell off to 39.65 and reacted to 40.16.
Detailed reports from the weather bureau
showing very light rainfall in the belt
over Sunday, rumors of an unfavorable fi
nancial situation in Japan, weakness in ihe
stock market and reports of labor troubles
in Lancashire all helped to soften the mar
ket around the middle of the morning and
bring about a general soiling movement.
Prices broke under the pressure and late
in the morning the trading months were
43 to 77 points under Saturday’s close, July
trading down to 39.20 and October to 36.28.
Selling pressure increased toward the close
and the market did not absorb the offerings
readily. In the last few minutee of the
day the decline was widened to 68 to 85
points on the most active months. Con
siderable liquidation resulted from the fact
that tomorrow will be a holiday in this
market owing to state elections. The close
was steady at net decline of 68 to 85 points.

IMPROVEMENT OF
CONDITIONS IN U. S.
SEEN BY LAWRENCE
(Continued from Page 1)
sized. Every state, city or town
that Issues bonds for a single im
provement that isn’t essential simply
adds that much more weight to the
credit system of the country.
So long as America consumes in
money more than is produced, so
long as American is buying less from
Europe than she is selling and for
eign exchange is thereby deranged,
so long as foreign trade is confused,
by uncertainty over the political sit
uation in Europe, so long as France
waits on America or depends upon
payments of German reparation or
the rest of Europe gambles on Rus
sia’s recovery, so long as America
is unable to trade with Germany be
cause of the absence of a treaty
of peace there will remain factors
of destruction instead of construc
tion. That’s another fundamental
principle which one encounters in
studying the viewpoint of gov
ernment officials.
Entirely apart from the blame
that attaches to the president or
the senate for the failure of the
United States to have a peace treaty
with Germany, there is a distinct
feeling that the world would have
gone forward by a good many stages
in the economc cycle if peace had
been established a year ago.
A Good Buy
Incidentally officials still look
askance at France and wonder how
long the French politicians will wait
before taking courageously in hand
the tax problem and raising money
by taxation instead of loans. Com
mendation for the British fiscal sys
tem in taxing to the utmost is heard
again and again, for the universal
sentiment seems to be that nations
must find economic salvation in their
own efforts and greater production.
rather than in continued borrowing
or in leaning on other countries.
Optimism—yet by no means over
confidence —creeps out as officials
survey the prospect of better crops
throughout the world. Europe is ex
pected to reap a more successful
harvest from this year’s planting. It
should help raise the spirits as well
as the credit of European countries.
But as for the United States,
there’s one tip which may develop
into a nation-wide movement if pub
lic sentiment gets behind it and sees
its true value. It’s the tip to buz
government securities at the present
low levels. The idea seems to be
that if enough people in this coun
try suddenly decided to get along
without luxuries and invested their
savings in government securities,
the prices of these securities would
promptly rise and go higher while
the costs of commodities held at
fictitious levels by profiteers or by
artificial demand would begin to
drop.
As long as America is extravagant,
prices will not go. down. As long as
America is thrifty and begins to do
without things, prices will tumble.
The government bids the public
think a little less of government
economy and more of individual
thrift, and the two together may help
the nation breast the treacherous
tides of reconstruction days.
The Formula for Success
What’s the secret of success?
Anxious brother, can’t you guess?
Do not let yourself be nodding.
Hold your head up, keep a-plodding.

HOKE SMITH HEARD
< ay Emma
CROWDINBARTOW
BY BOGEB3 WINTER
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal)
CARTERSVILLE, Ga., April 19-
Speaking here today on the closing
day of the campaign, Senator Hoke
Smith made his final reply to the
Atlanta Constitution’s charge that he
was not loyal to his government dur
ing the war and its charge that his
stand on the League of Nations con
stitutes disloyalty to the Democratic
■party.
The senator spoke in the Bartow
county courthouse to an audience of
something over 200 representative
citizens, who gave him a most cor
dial reception and a most attentive
and enthusiastic hearing. He was
introduced by Levi Shaw, a promi
nent merchant and business man. In
the audience were a number of la
dies, including Mrtf. Corra Harris,
the famous writer, who has a home
in this county. The attendance of
farmers was heavily cut dowii by
good farming weather.
Farmers for Him
Senator Smith was met at the
train by a reception committee in
cluding Paul Gilreath, a prominent
business man and former mayor of
Cartersville; J. J. Hill, merchant,
James H. Gilreath, farmer and busi
ness man; Matt Upshaw, a prominent
farmer; Ry dal, a Bartow county
town, J. R. Wittaker, and Paul Akin,
lawyer; A. W. Barber, of Adairsville;
J. M. and T. M. White, merchants
and farmers of White, another Bar
tow county town. The situation in
Bartow is very similar to a number
of other counties where old align
ments have shifted. Some of Sen
ator Smith’s former supporters are
opposing him and some of his former
opponents are supporting him. The
outcome in Bartow depends in a large
measure on weather conditions Tues
day. If the farmers vote, he will
carry the county. If they are busy
in the fields, the contest will be
close between him and Mr. Palmer.
$1,000,000 Is Offered
Emory University By
Rockefeller Foundation
Announcement has been made from
the headquarters of the Rockefeller
Foundation, in New York, that ?!,-
000,300 has been offered to Emory
university provided the institution
raises an additional $500,000.
Asa G. Candler, Sr., chairman of
the board of trustees of the univer
sity, declared Saturday that the of
fer was made several weeks ago, but
that the executive committee of the
trustees decided at the time to take
no action on the proposition until
the regular June meeting of the
board.
“The executive committee does not
feel warranted in taking any defi
nite steps with reference to the of
fer of the Rockefeller Foundation,”
said Mr. Candler, “and at any rate a
delay of a few weeks will not make
any material difference; we want the
full board of trustees to pass on th-J
prop osition.”

Overall Movement
Denounced as Harmful
By Governor Bickett
RALEIGH, N, C., April 17.—“ Most
emphatically I do not intend to be
come a member of any overall club,”
declared Governor Bickett, when
asked today if he would affiliate wi.th
an overall organization being form
ed by federal and railroad employes
here. “There is no good in It and
there is positive harm. It will run
the price of overalls up to a figure
that cannot be paid by those who
of necessity must wear them.”
The governor continued, "I would
agree not to pay more than $5 for a
hat. You can get a decent hat for
that sum. I would agree not to pay
more than $7.50 for a pair of shoes
nor more than $3 fofr a shirt, S4O
for a suit of clothes, 50 cents for a
pair of socks and 20 cents for a
collar. I think the members of such
a club ought to agree not to buy an
automobile until the prices have
dropped 25 per cent. So long as
people are willing to pay any price
for the things they want and are
not willing to practice self-denial,
all talk about cutting down the high
cost of living is gabble.”
