"Development of the cattle raising industry in the South, however, must await the extermination of the cat tle tick. Fortunately this is being rapidly accomplished by the joint ef forts of the Government and the States. The time has come w'hen we must conserve our meat supply and take steps to increase it, and at the present remunerative prices for food animals it is probable that this will be gradually accomplished. "The shortage in the supply of meat producing animals in the Un ited States is steadily becoming more pronounced, and it is evident that the country is facing an era of snort production of meat. In the last six years there has been a decline of over thirty per cent, in the number of beef cattle in the country, while the population and the consequent de mand for meat has increased.

Her Doctor Recommended NEWBRO’S HERPIC1DE While there are no thrills in the narration of Mrs. P. T. Nichols, 623 Broad Street, Beloit, Wis., her story is nevertheless one of amazing inter est. ‘Stricken with neuralgia and erysipelas, I lost all my hair. My doc tor recommended Newbro’s Herpicide. I used six or eight bottles and now have a line head of slightly curly brown hair. Not a gray hair in my head. This is the more remarkable as I am middle-aged." While the results which follow the use of Newbro’s Herpicide arc always more or less astonishing, they are al ways natural Herpicide destroys the dandruff, stimulates the tlow of blood to the hair follicles a,r.d keeps the scalp perfectly healthy. It makes possi ble a natural and luxuriant growth of i hair, except in cases of chronic bald ness. While remedies said to be "every bit as good" as Newbro's Herpicide are frequently offered, one should insist upon having "the original germ de stroyer," Herpicide. This is genuine. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly. Newbro’s Herpicide in 50c and $1 sizes is sold by all dealers, who guar antee it to do all that is claimed. If I you are not satisfied your money will be refunded. Applications may be obtained at good barber shops. Send 10c in post age for sample to The Herpicide Co., Dept. R., Detroit. Mich.

Smith. the veteran presi dent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, is in Atlanta taking a lead ing part in the Alabama 2^-cent pas senger rate light in the Federal Court here. While Mr. Smith is known to be bitterly opposed to State interference with the operation of railroads, he refused to make comment upon his own case. Also, he showed his usual very de cided antipathy for newspaper re porters and photographers. A picture was snapped of him in the lobby of the Piedmont Hotel. It is the first one published in many years. “It generally costs tmoney to get in the newspapers just what I want to say," said Mr. Smith, declining to be interviewed. “Once in a while I -end a statement to a paper, which, as a rule, is the an swer to statements made by a pub lic official. But mine generally come hack with a nice little letter -ayins they will be glad to publish it at regular advertising rates. I can’t sec the fairness in it. but suppose it is because the other fellow happens to be a public official.” Mr. Smith merely smiled about the probable outcome of the injunction suit; he thought the country was in good condition: he smiled over what he thought of State Legislatures and Railroad Commissions generally; he smiled over the question of-his opin ion of Atlanta. No more interesting figure in rail road circles can be found than Mil- ton H. Smith. As head of the Louis ville and Nashville Railroad he has developed it into one of the strongest I systems in the United States.

Wife and I Are Friends of Instant f POSTUM "There’s a Reason’ “I used to drink coffee—was nervous and irri table. Wife said so. “So when the new food-drink, Instant Postum, came along she said to herself: 'Here’s where I break Jack of the coffee habit.’ “Instant Postum is good stuff. I sleep better, smile more, and miss my indigestion.” Atlevel teaspoonful of Instant Postum in an ordinary cup of hot water dissolves in stantly and makes it right for most persons. A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put in a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream. Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate and have it served that way in the future. Postum comes in two forms. Regular Postum (must he boiled). Instant Postum ‘doesn’t, require boiling, but is prepared instantly by stirring a level teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. * CHAMBERLIN-JOHNSON-DuBOSE CO.
