MAILFLIRTATIONS DNTHEOECREASE New General Delivery Rule Causes Many Girls to Drop Secret Love Affairs. Flirtations by mail have taken an awful slump in Atlanta since the in troduction of a series of questions which are asked every person who calls at the general delivery for mail. For a number of years the postoffice corridors in Atlanta and in other cities have been thronged with girls who were carrying on clandestine correspondence and who had their letters directed to general delivery in oruer to evade the watchful care of their parents. Post masters all over the country com plained of the matter, and among the first to take up its correction with the postmaster general wap Postmaster H. L. McKee of the Atlanta office, w’ho finally received authority to compile a series »of questions to ask each appli cant for mall. This plan recently was started and the series of questions included the age, occupation, street address, name of parents, in case of minors, and a spe cific reason for using this window. • "That last question, a specific reason for using this window, has proved a 'feazer' to many girls, and especiallj r to the younger and more Innocent ones,” says D. C. Cole, assistant postmaster, who is in charge in the absence of Postmaster McKee. "Many of the girls have succeeded in giving answers so that we are com pelled under the postal laws to deliver their mail, but the clerks tell me that numbers of familiar faces have dropped from sight. This is especially true of the younger ones, and that is the kind we want to reach. We want to stop them before they get too far from out of their parents' influence.” RHEUMATISM IS ~ JUST LIKE AhT OTHER DISEASE RESULTS FROM CONDITIONS THAT CAN BE REMEDIED Whether You Have Suffered For Years or Have But a First Twinge or Two, Applications on the Skin Can Not Get at the Cause of the Pain. Probably Just a bilious attack and a slight deposit of uric acid that was not promptly expelled. Calomel and simi lar mercurial purgatives do not dis solve and expel the uric acid sediment that forms from undigested, ferment ing foods, and when this poisonous acid gets in the blood stream it spreads through the system. It accumulates quickly, thickens the blood, and settles in joints and muscles. And the joints and muscles then stiffen with rheuma tism. An attempt to cure this rheumatism must be directed to removing the uric acid from the blood and tissues, pre venting the deposit of crystalline urates and breaking up those already formed. There have been many so-called uric acid solvents. They dissolve uric acid in the test tube, but when they reach the stomach the hydrochloric acid pres ent changes their chemistry completely and renders them ineffectual. JACOBS’ LIVER SALT dissolves uric acid out of the tissues, holds it in solution and expels it in the urine. JACOBS’ LIVER SALT Is remark ably successful in the treatment of rheumatism. It thoroughly cleanses the system of all fermentation and uric acid sediment and purifies the blood. It will give prompt relief in all cases of rheumatism resulting from uric acid poisoning. If you are suffering with rheumatism, try JACOBS’ LIVER SALT immediate ly. It will relieve you more promptly and surely than anything else. Effer vescent and agreeable in taste. Don’t take an inferior substitute. Some prep arations very closely imitate the name, but their action is very different to the genuine JACOBS’ LIVER SALT. 1-2- Ib. jar, 25c, at druggists (by mail, postage 16c extra).

HINES OPTICAL COMPANY 91 Peachtree St. etween Montgomery and Alcazar 1 Maters Cherokee Life Gets Popular Agents PIONEERS IN RISK FIELD f Afe* J L V* 1. B. L. Burwell, Director of Agencies, Industrial Department. Insurance Merger’s Atlanta Of fices in Charge of E. L. Brad ley and B. L. Burwell. Following the reinsurance of the Rome Life Ineurance Company by the Cherokee Life Insurance Company, which has a surplus of $448,386.50 and insurance in force amounting to $15,- 375,394, the Atlanta office will continue in charge of E. L. Bradley, superin tendent of this district. Mr. Bradley, who has had charge of the companies’ business here for the last five years, is an old Metropolitan man, having been connected with that company for about ten years, leaving it to form a connec tion with the Rome Life in 1907. The business in the Atlanta district is large. This is evidenced by the pay ment since July 15 of 40 death claims. Mr. Bradley says the change in his companies' business has been taken ad vantage of by some to misrepresent the situation with those who are not in formed, for the purpose of getting them to transfer their policies. He further ways those these who transfer get only half benefit policies and should not al low themselves to be misled to their disadvantage in this manner. The Cherokee, following the merger with the Rome Life, is stamping all the policies of the latter company with a guarantee of payment by the, Chero kee Life, and that those who have not yet had their policies so stamped and who do not care to wait until the agent of the company gets around to them, may bring their policies to the office of the company, 810-814 Empire Life building. B. L. Burwell, one of the pioneers of industrial insurance in the South, who opened the Atlanta district for the Life Insurance Company of Virginia eight years ago and was afterward made su pervisor of agents for that company, will be remembered by his many friends in Atlanta and the South as a man who has been one of the greatest factors tn the upbuilding of the indus trial insurance business throughout the Southern states. Mr. Burwell has entire charge of the agency force in the industrial depart ment of the Cherokee Life, which in sures the rapid growth of the depart ment. As a strong evidence of the entire confidence in the companies’ future since Mr. Burwell has taken charge of this department, he has already se cured, in addition to the entire force of the Rome Life, A. E. Fridge, of Spar tanburg, S. C.; A. B. Thompson, of Greer, S. C„ and the following insur ance men well known In Atlanta: W. M. Christian, as supervisor of agencies, and W. A. Abercrombie, C. L.
