When children grow pale

PEPTO - MANGAN MAKES
RED BLOOD
Sold by druggists in liquid
and tablet form—both
the same in medici
nal quality
When your child loses color, acts
and talks without spirit, and does
not play like other children, act
quickly.
If the condition is not a deep-seat
ed disease but merely due to poor
blood, give Pepto-Mangan. Gude’s
Pepto-Mangan is just the tonic for
pale, thin children whose blood needs
rebuilding. It is a pleasant-tasting,
simple combination of exactly the in
gredients that increase and enrich
the blood.
Beneficial results show almost at
once in brighter eyes, blooming
cheeks, a sprightly step, and the
whole system made more vigorous.
Pepto-Mangan is obtainable in
liquid or tablet form, whichever
proves most convenient. Both forms
possess identical medicinal qualities.
There is but one genuine Pepto-
Mangan and that is “Gude’s.” Ask
your druggist for "Gude’s” and look
for the name “Gude’s” on the pack
age. If it is not there, it is not
Pepto-Mangan.—(Advt.)

FIGHTING DAY AND

WARSAW. May B.—(By the Asso

entrenching in the hills on the west
bank of the Dnelper In a great semi
circle with their backs against Kiev,

information today from the front.
The fight for possession of Kiev Is at
its height, raging day and night
along the line through the valleys

Both sides are using artillery, but
Kiev has not yet been bombarded by
the Poles. It is reported that the
Poles, who are within approximately
twenty-eight miles of Kiev, are
making effective use of armored
trains, armored automobiles and oth

north the Poles are proceeding south

J. R. Smith Asks Fly nt to
State Purpose of Meeting
Os Subcommittee May 11
Denies Authority of the Com
mittee to Pass on Contests
Except for the Purpose of
Making Up Temporary Roll
J. R. Smith, one of the campaign
managers for Senator Hoke Smith in
the recent presidential primary,
Tuesday addressed a letter to James
J. Flynt, chairman of the Democratic
state executive committee, request
ing him to state the purpose of the
meeting of the subcommittee on rules
to be held in Atlanta on May 11.
This is the adjourned meeting call
ed by flhe subcommitttee when it
met in Atlanta last Wednesday,
ahd its object is to hear and decide
the contests brought by <Hoke Smith
and Thomas E. Watson in several
counties. Insofar as the hearing of
contests is concerned, Mr. Smith
makes no objection. But when it
comes to the deciding of contests by
the subcommittee, he notifies Chair
man Flynt that he does not recog
nize their authority on that point.
As he states in his letter, if the
purpose of the subcommittee is to
hear contests, consolidate the returns
and declare the result as the basis
for a temporary roll of the conven
tion (to be held May 18), then he
will submit his contests. But he de
nies the authority of the subcommit
tee to decide any contests, or de
clare the result of the primary, or
seat any delegates in the conven
tion. He took this position before
the subcommittee when it met in
Atlanta last Wednesday.
For the subcommittee, he con
tends, to attempt to control the
convention by deciding contests, or
declaring the result, or seating dele
gates, or enforcing or attempting to
enforce rule ten, would be equiva
lent to an attempt by the Democratic
national committee to declare that
the candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination who went to
San Francisco with a plurality of
votes should be the nominee, when
everybody knows that the Demo
cratic national convention always has
nominated by the two-thirds ■ rule.
Mr. Smith’s letter to Chairman
Flynt requests a definite reply on the
above points. It is as follows:
Hon. James J. Flynt,
Chairman State Democratic Com
mittee.
Dear Sir: In view of publica
tions with regard to the meeting
of the sub-committee on May 11,
I will appreciate it if you will
give me a definite statement as
to the purposes for which the
committee will meet.
In order that the attitude of
the supporters of Senator Smith
may be definitely before you and
the committee, we wish to advise
as follows:
If the purpose of the commit
tee is to make up a temporary
roll of the convention' and nass
on contests for this purpose
alone, this we recognize to be,
according to Democratic usages,
within the power of the commit
tee, and we will appear and pre
sent our contest. •
On the other hand, we respect
fully deny the authority of the
committee to pass on contests
for any other purpose than the
making up of the temporary roll
of the convention and with the
understanding that the conven
tion itself must finally settle toe
rights of any delegates to seats.
We emphatically deny that the
committee has any authority >
declare any person as a success
ful candidate in the election and
if the purpose of the committee
in meeting on May 11 is to con
sider contests with a view of is
suing such declaration or with
a view of finally passing on the
contests, or with any other pur
pose than the making of the tem
porary roll of the convention, we
deny the authority of the com
mittee, and to preserve our right
will be forced to decline to par
ticipate in the proceedings.
This is the position I took when
the committee met last in
Atlanta, at which time I pointed
out that such a position was fair
and right to all concerned. To
adopt any other view is without
a precedent in this or any
state. It is contrary to every
usage of the Democratic party
and can only be described as com
pletely revolutionary.
Suppose the natonal Demo
cratic committee should meet now
and pass a rule that the candi
date coming to the San Francis
co convention with the largest
plurality of votes should be de
clared by the national commit
tee to be the nominee of the
party, and that the national con
vention was to be helpless so far
as the wishes of a majority of
the delegates to the national con
vention were concerned. This
would be on a national scale ex
actly what is now proposed as a
regulation to contra’ the state
convention in Georgia.
We are mentioning this so as
to put on record our position as

COMMITTEES OF
U. S. SENATE WILL
BE REORGANIZED
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
WASHINGTON, May 4.—Reorgan
ization of the committee system of
the United States senate, advocated
for years and discussed again and
again without result. Is at last to be
accomplished. Instead of seventy
seven committees with Innumerable
subcomimttees taking up the time of
members so that frequently It is
impossible to get a committee
quorum, there will be not more than
thirty committees. Every senator
will be a member of one of the
seventeen or eighteen major com
mittees and a member of at least
two of twelve or thirteen minor
committees. It may prove to be
the first step toward a reorganiza
tion of the ten government depart
ments.
This proposal of change has met
with the approval of Republicans
and Democrats and a subcommittee
of the senate committee on rules has
just been authorized to submit a
comprehensive plan to the full com
mittee on rules and the prospects
are that the scheme will go through
this session.
Democrats told their Republican
colleagues at last night’s meeting
that they planned the Identical
method or reorganization when they
came into power eight years ago,
but that all sorts of obstacles came
to prevent action.
Efficiency Sought
Senator Medill McCormick, of Il
linois, is the father of the plan.
Incidentally he has pushed the
budget bill through the senate. His
hobby is efficiency in government
and a number of senators from time
to time have given their support
to various plans for the rearrange
ment of government service. The
Illinois senator has gotten behind
the idea and is centering his whole
legislative career on efficiency.
The idea of concentrating com
mittee work In the senate in a few
committees Is not new but no party
has hitherto been able to shut off
the little patronage privileges and
political camouflage that went with
membership in several committees.
Easy to Accomplish
The burdens brought on by war,
however, and a congested calendar
have made the members of the sen
ate more than ever desirous of cut
ting out insignificant and unimpor
tant committees. For Instance, there
was a time when a committee on
Indian depredations might have been
necessary, but not any more. Then
again the work of several commit
tees Involves .the same kind of sub
jects and can easily be combined. A
committee on “the Mississippi river
and its tributaries” can be combined
with a committee on “interoceanic
canals.” A committtee so “investi
gate trespassers upon Indian lands”
can be absorbed by a “committee on
Indian affairs.”
A glance at the congressional di
rectory reveals how easily the con
densation of committee work can be
accomplished. It will mean that
more work will be done in committ
tee and that more attention will be
given to what is done. As it is,
members of the senate find them
selves on four or five committees
all meeting on the same day. The re
sult is patchwork legislation which
takes up more time on the floor of
the senate when amendments too
often become necessary.
There is a chance, however, that
the reduction of' the number of com
mittees will vitally affect the seniori
ty system which has been the bane
of political parties for years.
Seniority Process
The Republicans and Democrats
know the evils of the seniority
process which of Ben puts at the
head of a committee a man least
qualified to preside. Length of serv
ice bears no especial relationship
to the fitness of an individual to
manage a committee and when the
reorganization is put into effect’ it
will become necessary for which
ever party Is In power to choose
carefully their chairmen. With only
seventeen men at the head of Im
portant committees and these com
mitttees absorbing the work of sev
eral minor committees, it will be
doubly necessary for the dominant
party to exercise caution and care
in electing their leaders. As sug
guested above, the movement for re
organization in government is likely
tb be broadened.
Already Senator Smoot has Intro
duced a bill providing for a joint
committee of the two houses of con
gress to draw up a plan whereby
the bureaus in the ten executive de
partments of the government can be
redistributed or combined both in the
interest of economy and efficiency.
The bill probably will pass both
houses without much opposition.
Usually these efforts at efficiency
come wiflh every change in political
control and they rarely accomplish
very much because other issues and
subjects are considered more Impor
tant. This year, however, one of
the things on which the Republican
party will base Its plea for nation
wide support Will be government ef
ficiency. * Senate reorganization, a
budget system/ condensation of gov
ernment bureaus and reduction of
expenditures 411 relate to the com
mon theme of trying at least to con
vince the American people that they
are getting their money’s worth of
the large sums they are paying in
taxes.

BANKERS FIGHT
PAR CLEARANCE
IN WASHINGTON
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau)
628 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, May 4.—More
than fifty bankers. Including six
from Georgia, are here to protest
against the “par clearance” ruling
of the federal reserve board which
they claim would require country
and non-member banks to clear
checks for the reserve system with
out payment of exchange. Most of
the bankers here are representatives
i of state institutions, but a few na
tional banks are also represented
and the Washington convention will
complete organization of the Nation
al and State Bankers’ Protective as
sociation. Committees representing
the association appeared before the
committees on rules and banking and
currency Monday and supported the
King resolution for an investigation
of the workings of the reserve sys
tem and policies of the reserve
board. Tuesday afternoon, the en
tire convention protested to the
board against its “par-clearance”
ruling.
It was charged before the rules
committee that the federal reserve
board is increasing th© cost of living
and oppressing state banks. Repre
sentative King, Illinois, said that
loans of the federal reserve system
were back of much of the specula
tion in commodities and that this
speculation is rseponsiblt for increas
ing prices.
H. Flood Madison, Bastrop, La.,
chairman of a committee of the
bankers’ association, alleged the fed
eral board was using the tactics of
highwaymen in dealing with state
“The conduct of the federal reserve
system has brought several state
banks to the verge of destruction,”
Representative Reavis, Nebraska,
claimed. “Agents have collected
checks on small banks, driven io
them in high-powered automobiles
and, armed with revolvers, demanded
payment. In some instances $35,000
in checks have been presented to one
small bank for payment at one time
and the currency demanded. Con
gress should take steps to stop this
highway robbery practice of the sys
tem.”
The banking committee was re
quested to report an amendment of
the act, authorizing a charge for ex-
Bankers from twenty-five states
were represented by committees of
the National and State Bank Pro
tection association. Members of con
gress also appeared as witnesses.
Alexander Smith, of Atlanta, coun
sel for the association, told the rules
.committee that the federal reserve
board sought to force adoption of
universal par clearances, which he
argubd was an “impossible dream.”
Before the banking committee. E.
M. Wing, of La Crosse, Wis., a na
tional banker, declared that the ex
change of checks cost ten cents for
each SI,OOO business and he proposed
that this be authorized as legal by
amendment of the federal reserve
act.
The states represented at the hear
ings were: Alabama, Arkansas,
Kansas, Florida, Texas, Nebraska,
Kentucky, New York, Minnesota,
Idaho, Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa,
South and North Dakota. South and
North Carolina, Virginia, New Jer
sey. Mississippi, Colorado, Maryland,
Indiana, Georgia and Louisiana.
Georgia bankers attending the con
ference, which will last through
Wednesday, include L. R. Adams,
secretary-treasurer of the associa
tion; Alex W. Smith, general counsel;
James S. Peters, Bank of Manchest
er; R. L. Render, Bank of LaGrange;
Ty Smith, Bank of Bartow and J. w.
Vaughan, Bank of Cartersville. The
state bankers claim that par clear
ance requires banks to perform serv
ice for nothing and that such a rul
ing Is both unjust and illegal.
Bankers from all sections of the
country are in attendance upon the
convention, which is discussing
banking subjects generally, but is
mainly interested In combatting the
par clearance ruling of the reserve
board.
P. L. Long, president of the First
National Bank of Waverly, New
York, told the convention that some
of the national banks had acquiesced
in the board’s ruling because they
were "scared in.” The power of the
board was such, he said, it was felt
to be a matter of policy to concur
in the ruling, but many banks now
saw their error and were ready to
join with the state bankers of the
entire country to the end that justice
might be done the country bank.
Speakers at the convention claimed
that the policies and methods of the
federal reserve board had encourag
ed several forms of business abuses,
including more "kiting” of checks,
undet expansion of credit and cur
rency, with its attendant high prices,
and so on.
The meeting resolved that it was
primarily here for the purpose of de
feating the par clearance move of
the federal reserve board, but it
seemed probable that its full
strength would be thrown to the
support of the King resolution which
calls for congressional investigation
of the entire workings of the re
serve system. '
A committee composed of Cones, of
Nebraska; Peters, of Georgia, and
Smith, of Georgia, was named to ar
range for the hearing before the
rules committee of the house in ref
erence to this resolution.
TENSE PRESSURE

“My Sides, Back and Head
Pained Me Just All the

> Lady, Who Took Car-
dui and Got Well
E r
3 Union town, Ala.—“ After the birth,
of my baby, I came near dying,
1 writes Mrs. Maude Felts, of Unlon-
1 town. “I was in an awful condi
tion. ... It just looked like I
’ would die.
> “I couldn’t bear anyone to even
I touch me, I was eo sore, not even
> to turn me in bed. My sides, back
l and head all pained me, just all the
time.
! “We had the doctor every day and
’ he did everything he knew how, it
■ looked like. Yet I lay there suf
fering such intense pains as seems
I can’t describe.
“Finally, I said to my husband, let
: us try Cardui. . . . He went for it
at once, and before I had taken the
i first bottle the . . . came back,
the soreness began to go away, and
' I began to mend. The intense pres
sure seemed all at once to leave
my head, and before long I was up.
“I took three bottles and wag well
and strong and able to do my work.
I believed Cardui saved my life.
... I cannot praise It enough for
what it did for me.”

Rheumatism
A Home Cure Given By
One Who Had It
In the spring of 1893 I was attacked
by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheu
matism. I suffered as only those who
have it know, for over three years. I
tried remedy after remedy, aud doctor
after doctor, but such relief as I re
ceived was only temporary. Finally, I
found a remedy that cured me com
pletely, and it has never returned. I
have given it to a number who were
terribly afflicted and even bedridden
with Rheumatism, and it effected a
cure in every case.
I want every sufferer from any form
of rheumatic trouble to try this mar
velous healing power. Don’t send a
cent; simply mail your name and ad
dress and I will send it free to try.
After you have used it and it has
proven itself to be that long-looked-for
means of curing your rheumatism, you
may send the price of it, one dollar, but
understand, I do not want your money
unless you are perfectly satisfied to
send it. Isn’t that fair? Why suffer
any longer when positive relief Is thus
offered you free? Don’t delay. Write
today.
