IS CAUSE OF FLURRY
yew York, March 26.—Jacob H.
Foilin', head of the banking house of
Kuhn. Loch & Co., returned to Wall
sirett yesterday after a short vacation
spent In the South and gave the fol
lowing expression of his opinion of the
situation:
■ I ,lo not see how the present trou
ble In the position of affairs In llnan-
C lat markets can be completely ended
until effective steps are taken to allay
ilie anxiety which exists among all
,.lasses of Investors and business In
terests over the agitation against the
railroads.
■I believe this fear that something
exceptionally distressing Is to happen
In the way of legislation to railroads,
curtailing their earnings and, therefore,
their ability to make returns to stock
holders Is more accountable for the
present state of affairs than Is the
money market. The money market, I
believe, wll, right Itself In large meas
ure after the middle of April, for the
treasury authorities are displaying an
Intelligent Interest In Its course, anil
apparently stand ready to do all they
can within proper limits.
“From the middle of the month on
funds should flow toward New York.
I And no sign of great trouble among
houses of standing, either here or In
Europe, and It Is surprising how well
margins are maintained In this city."
PER SI STEM BRIDEGROOM
Vi/ON HIS WIFE A7 LAS'I
••Faint heart ne’er won fair lady,”
and If W. B. Oolsby, of Salisbury, N.
C. t had been falnted-hearted he might
now bo a lonesome widower and Mies
joule Leamon, of Atlanta, would be
nuking over her wedding dress into a
ppring toilet. But the Tarheel bride
groom was persistent and the wedding
g ot for Sunday took place Monday aft-
Sunday the bride had disappeared, and
was not found until late that evening.
The wedding was postponed, for the
bride-elect was hysterical and would
not be comforted, but the bridegroom
was persistent. He waUed another
day, renewed his suit, and late Mon
day afternoon “love found the way.”
Mr. and Mrs. Golsby t >ok the night
train for Salisbury. The wedding cer
emony was performed by Rev. H. C.
Hurley at 145 Cherokee avenue, the
home of the bride.

HGW SHIRT WAISTS SUFFER
FROM CONDUCTORS' HANDS
Shall women wear mackintoshes over
white shirtwaists, or shall street car
conductors -wash their hands? That
is the question of the hour.
From the Candler building clear
down to Mitchell street, a buzz of
feminine voices waa heard Monday dur
ing the shopping hours. And If there
v as one topic more discussed than new
hats It was "how to keep a shirtwaist
clean."
• I wish you’d Just look at my sleeve,
said one Peachtree matron to her
friend. "See those finger marks?
That's what the conductor did for me.
And I'm not a cripple. I can get off a
car without any help, thank yqo."
That's the trouble. The women com
plain that the conductors Insist on as
sisting them off and on the cars by
means of a Arm grasp of the elbow and
a "h’lst" which may expedite traffic,
but which Is ruinous to white linen and
temper. Now, Atlanta is dusty, and
there are no lavatories on street cars,
and naturally the conductors' hands
become more or less grimy. You can
guess the result.
"If they would Just keep their hands
off,” was the voice of feminine Atlantu,
"that's all we ask. For laundry bills
are growing higher every day.'

MAYOR TIE DEM AN
REVOKES LICENSE
OF LIQUOR DEALER
Special to The Georgian.
Savannah, Ga., March 26.—That the
new administration is In earnest abo it
keeping the “lid on” tight on Sunday
was evidenced by the vigilance of the
police when on yesterday six persons
of different firms faced the recorder
the result of charges of running on
Sunday’.
Among the number was the DeSoto
Hotel. It Is understood, however, that
this was a mere technical violation of
the law, the cashier having remained a
short while after tho closing hour to
count the receipts of tho day and bal
ance his cash.
Some of the evidence at the hearing
was amusing. One policeman testified
that he had lain on the ground and
from a point of hiding watched the
violators of the law ply their illicit
trade. This was done from u second-
stoiy window, where there was a bar
rel of whisky. A bucket attached to a
rope was suspended by a pulley. The
purchaser put his money In the bucket
nnd pulled the rope. Then the bucket
descended with the order therein.
One dealer pleaded guilty and was
fined $200. Mayor Tledeman revoked
his license.
GOOD NATURED AGAIN
Good Humor Returns With Change to
Proper Food.
"For many years f was a constant
sufferer from Indigestion, and nervous
ness amounting almost to prostration,”
writes a Montana man.
“My blood was Impoverished, the
vision wn blurred and weak, with
moving spots before my eyes. This
was a steady dally Condition. I grew
Ill-tempered and eventually got so
nervous I could not keep my books
posted, nor handle accounts satisfac
torily’. I can’t describe my sufferings.
"Nothing I ate agreed with me till
one day I happened to notice Grape-
Nuts In a grocery store, and bought a
package, out of curiosity’, to know what
it was. 4
“I liked the food, from tho very first,
eating It with cream, and now I buy
It by the case and use It dally. I soon
found that Grape-Nuts food was sup
plying brain and nerve force as noth
ing in the drug line ever had done or
could do.
It wasn't long before I was restored
to health, comfort ami happiness.
Through the use of Grape-Nuts food
iny digestion has been restored, my
nerves are steady once more, my eye
sight Is good ugaln. my mental facul
ties are clear and acute, and I have be
come so good-natured that my friends
are truly astonished at the change. I
feel younger and better than I have
for twenty years. No amount of
money would Induce me to surrender
what 1 have gained through the use of
Grape-Nuts food.” Name given by
Postum Company, Hattie Creek, Mich.

NEW LIABILITY ACT
UPHELDJJY SPEER
Congress Has Power to Pro
tect Men Employed by
Transportation Lines.
Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., March 26.—Jn the Fed
eral court yesterday Judge EJmory
Speer handed down an opinion In the
case Of Lucy Snead, administratrix,
against the Georgia Railway Company’,
in which he upheld the employer's lia
bility act, passed by the last session
of congress. The constitutionality of
this act was involved In the case.
Tho act provides that every common
carrier engaged in Interstate and for
eign commerce shall he liable to any
of Its employees, or In case of death
to the next of kin, for damages which
may result from the negligence of an
employee, and also provides that con
tributory negligence shall not bar a re
covery, and that employment contracts
of insurance, relief benefit or Indemni
ty, which tho employee is obliged to
sign, shall not be any bar or defense.
The act was assailed by the defend
ant on the ground that it was repug
nant to the constitution of the United
States. United States Judges Evans,
at Louisville, and McCall, at Memphis,
have upheld this contention.
Judge Speer maintains the opposite
view. In tho opinion he states that “it
is difficult to magnify the significant
and consequential Import of the ques
tion thus presented. Every’ corporation
and person In the states and territo
ries engaged In commerce between the
states and foreign nations may be pro
foundly concerned. The validity of a
deliberate act of the national legisla
ture is drawn in question for deter
mination by the arbiter of the Ameri
can system of government.”
He declares that "the occasions when
the action of congress or of the execu
tive have been dfdared unconstitution
al are singularly and happily infre
quent," nnd that "the rule Is th&t
courts will not adjudge an act of con
gress invalid unless, In their judgment.
Its violation of the constitution is clear,
complete and unmistakable."
Poster to Regulate Commerce.
In arguing the question of the power
to regulate commerce. Judge Speer
said:
” ‘Unquestionably the power to reg
ulate commerce includes navigation as
well as traffic In Its ordinary signifi
cation, nnd embraces ships and vessels
as the Instruments of Intercourse and
tra.de, # as well as the officers and sea
men employed In their navigation.’
“If, then, congress has the estab
lished right to control the relative du
ties of the ship owners and seamen,
upon what sound reasoning can Its con
trol of the rights and liabilities of other
men engaged In transportation by land
be denied? The power to regulate is
unlimited In Its application to such
traffic. How fntile, then, is the con
tention that this regulation may be ex
tended to tho inanimate machinery nnd
commodities engaged, and not to the
men without whose services not a wheel
ould revolve."
To tho argument that the employees
who engage In Interstate commerce also
handle that which Is Intrastate, nnd
that the legislation of congress affects
them also, he replies that:
"It will not do to say that the exer
cise of an admitted power of congress
Is to be withheld, if it appears, or can
be shown, that the effect of tho law
may incidentally extend beyond the
limitation of the power. Upon any such
Interpretation, the principal object of
the framers of thef Instrument In con
ferring the power would bo sacrificed
to the subordinate consequences result
ing from Its exercise."
Dentists Bankrupt
Growing Use of Nature Foods
Killing the Dentists’ Practice.
When you sit In the dentist's chair
and feel the drill gnaw right down to
the nerve, do you ever stop to wonder
how your poor ancestors bore that pain
200 years ago, when the only instru
ment was the forceps and they didn’t
take gas?
Don’t waste your time wondering.
Our forefathers lived 'close to Nature.
They didn't have their meals called off
In French, sandwiched between times
with munchings of bitter sweets and
thousand other dainties.
If we but knew the secret of a bank
rupt dentistry and a depleted medical
practice In general, we would take time
to consider the cause.
If the forces at work upon those
teeth of yours, tho hurdest structure
In your body, can get the results they
do In dentist’s bills, what must they
accomplish flown In the Inner and
more delicate organisms? What of the
stomach, the bowels, the brain and the
nerves, subjected day und night to tho
most frightful tasks of digestion and
assimllatloo of so-called “food," the
carrying off of waste tissue and the
supplying of vigor and action to the
body? Are you doing anything to pro
tect yourself?
Take away the cause! Use modera
tion and Judgment in your demands
upon your stomach, for therb is the
center from which all pain or sound
ness springs. It’s the stomach that
feeds the bones, the muscles, the nerves
and the brain. If you feel your
strength giving out nnd don't know,the
cause, your stomach will point It out.
Undoubtedly you r.re giving It un ill
proportioned or crammed diet.
Wheat and barley ulone contain all
the elements necessary to the normal
constitution; muscle, heat, brain and
nerve producers are found In the grain
of wheat and barley In the exact pro
portion required for a robust body.
Any variance from this diet means not
only wasted energy but sure Injury to
some vital organ.
Hardyfood builds bone and muscle,
tempers the body, feeds the brain and
settles and strengthens the nerves. It
Is good for the laborer and the office
man. It builds up the tissues of the
young and restores strength to the obi.
Hardyfood is a delightfully pure and
satisfying dish that the stomach looks
forward to. You can’t tire of Hardy
food because It can be serve*! in so
many ways. Eaten dry. or with cream
and fruit juices It Is delicious. Served
hot from the oven or cooked as por
ridge, If desired, It is equally appetiz
ing.
Out down your doctor’s bills and live
normally. Try Hardyfood at your
grocer's. It coats only a dime.
Isn’t it worth the price to get started
right?
Hardyfood at your grocers. 10 cents.
Whatlthe
Triangle.A.Has Done
The “Triangle*A” has increased the dealer’s
trade by enabling hinY to ’ give, his patrons the
greatest cigar values on earth/
The “Triangle A” has increased the value of
the smoker’s cigar money by giving him the
highest possible quality in every grade of “Tri
angle A” cigars.
Everybody concerned reaps the benefit of the 1
* * Triangle A” idea—the dealer and you. BOTH.
The dealer secures your confidence—and that’s )
how he keeps your business.
Whenever and "wherever you buy, whatever 1
you pay for your cigars, you are entitled to the
best it is possible to produce for the price.
The “Triangle A” on the box i3 the only'
assurance you have that you are getting this
100% of quality.
Don't Trust to Luck!
See that the cigar box is stamped with the
“Triangle A” merit mark every time—you’ll get
a smoke worth double what you got before the
introduction of “Triangle A" methods. Look
for the mark that insures quality.
The New CREMO
i
is the most satisfactory kind of proof but you are safe
in buying any brand bearing the “A" (Triangle A) on
the box. Every box is extra-wrapped in glassine paper,
sealed at each end with the “Triangle A” in red, to
maintain perf ect smoking condition and cleanliness until
the box is opened.

HOME PRESCRIPTION
Speediest Belief Known to Science
for Coughs, Colds and
Consumption.
Thin home prescription ha* been fa-
miliar to druggists for yenrs. Its won
derful effectiveness on coughs, colds
nnd all affecUons of tho branchial tubes
nnd pulmonary organs spread Its fame
from city to city with rapidly Increas
ing popularity.
Inquiry Intd the origin of this pre
scription developed tho fact that It
emanated from a prominent Philadel
phia physician .who gained fame
amongst his profession for the devel
opment of a truly soluble preparation
from the active principle of the pine
tree, which, although known to con
tain wonderful curative powers on tho
mucous membrane, yet was not gener
ally used by doctors on account .of Its
Insolubility. This new form of plno
is known to doctors and druggists :ls
the Concentrated oil of pine and It
forms the chief Ingredient In the fa
mous "Home Prescription," which ■ a
here given to the public and Is u*
follows;
Concentrated oil of pine, half ounce;
pure whisky (spirits frumentl) eight
ounces, glycerine 2 ounces. Mix and
shake thoroughly and take a table-
spoonful every four hours. Thl* will
frequently cure a cold inside of twenty-
four hours.
These Ingredients can be secured at
any good drug store, and can be easily
mixed at home In a ten-ounce bottle.
The concentrated oil of pine comes put
up for dispensing In half-ounce vials
securely sealed In a screw-top package
which retains all the original oxoue.
It should be home In mind, however,
that there mo patent medicines put up
by so-called chemical companies to
imitate tho wonderful pine oil. These
can lie avoided by making sure to get
the "Concentrated” oil of pine. It Is
also said to be very effective In curing
lumbago nnd uric add rheumatism.
For this purpose K Is taken raw, a few
drops on sugar, night and morning.
