Pa. _ 1 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 market*.

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.

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.

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.” Would Aid in Attempt To Talk With Mars DAYTON, 0., April 17.—E.

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.” Classified Advertisements WAJiTED HELP—MaIe.
