hold the poisonous wastes from the
system, to be absorbed and taken up
to poison your blood and destroy your
health. No wonder you suffer, no
wonder you feel bad and look tired
and worn out all the time. You have
got to get rid of that sewage from
your system. The Digestit Treatment
Is guaranteed. You can try it first—
If it fails, don't pay. Is not that a
fair proposition? The liquid medicine

Juice of vegetables to keep the bowels
open and the liver working. It will

up the bowels to natural action so you
don’t have to keep taking something
to move them. The Digestit tablets
help to digest the food and keep it
from souring. It gets the nourish
ment out of your food and gives it to
the starved, poisoned body. That’s
how it helps so much. You can get

News and Notes on
The Grain Crop
CHICAGO, June 11.—Logan & Bryan’s
Pontiac, Ill., correspondent wires: “Of
ferings of oats dried up on this break;
nothing offered now; farmers figure
they can afford to wait until the crop
is made, as market can’t sell much
lower.”
• • •
George Le Count’s wire from Med
ford, Okla., to Finley Barrel! & Co. un
der date of June 9. read as follows:
"Some low lands drowned out. On high
lands heads filling well. Weather clear
and favorable; quite hot. Think wheat
In this territory will average 15 bushels
ier acre. Wheat In this locality slight-
y affected by black rust. Crop needs
six to ten days more favorable weath
er to mature. I believe If weather re
mains favorable loss from black rust
will not be important.”
• • •
Van Dusen-Harrlngton’s Minneapolis
crop letter says: "The weather last
week was favorable for growing crops.
It was warmer most of the days, and
we had one good rain that covered the
entire territory and several local show
ers later. Frost occurred, but did very
little, if any. damage. There certain
ly was none done to wheat. In the
southern half of Minnesota and South
Dakota the corn planting is practically
finished. Some that was thought to
have rotted in the ground is growing
nicely. In the three States there will
be an increase in the acreage of corn.
All small grains are looking fine. We
believe there is an increase of 10 per
cent in wheat acreage, a decrease of
15 per cent in barley acreage, with that
of oats unchanged, as compared with
last year.’’
* • •
Importing countries have made up a
pool, it is said, and instead of buyers
being scattered over this country,
there will be one big headquarters on
this side of the water.
* * •
Joseph Pritchard says: "Many in the
trade friendly to the bull ajde of wheat
argue that the long drawn out price
losses reflect it is about time to take
on some wheat for a profit. The price
of wheat is not low, and with the new
crop at our very doors and with buy
ers cautious the bull side will continue
unpopular for some time There will be
a fair sized movement of new wheat
in the near future, and the question
now is whether the buying power will
be equal to the movement or not.”

Despite Weakness Abroad, Mar
ket Held Steady—Trading Is
Confined to Professionals.
NEW YORK, June 12.—The cotton
market opened steady this morning,
with prices irregular, being 2 points
lower on near options and 2 to 4
points higher on distant months. This
was better than had been looked for
on the cable from Liverpool, which
came only 2 points higher, whereas
advances of 2 1-2 to 6 points had been
expected. There was no special fea
ture to the trading here.
After the call near positions ad
vanced 4 points, getting in line with
other options. Business' was very
small and confined chiefly to ring pro.
fessionals. Around 11 o’clock the list
sagged 1 to 3 points from the early
high range.
Weather conditions overnight were
favorable, with indications pointing to
unsettled, showery weather over the
belt Sunday, except fair in South
Texas.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices at a net decline of 1 to 3
points from the final quotations of
Friday.

The strong protest of Atlanta mer
chants against the proposed increases
in city business license* before the
Council Tax Committee Friday after
noon 1* expected to Yesult in a vic
tory for them by persuading Council
to refuse to add anything to tho cost
of doing business in Atlanta.
The City Salesmen’s Association,
the Retail Merchants’ Association and
other organizations were represented
formally, and in addition there were
more than 100 business men present.
Henry Maler. vice president, and W.
8. Byck, chairman of the executive
committee, of the Retail Merchants’
Association, presented forceful argu
ments why It was bad business for
the c’ty to force more money from the
concerns who are furnishing a large
part of the city’s payrolls.
The Tax Committee was almost
persuaded. Alderman J. R Seawright
sought to rescind all increases that
have been made. Other* of the com
mittee would not agree to go quite
that far. but they agreed to cut off
many of the raises that have been
made.
When the report reaches Council
the contention of the merchants will
be taken to the floor, and it seems
very likely that practically all pro
posal* for increases in licenses will be
killed.

A. Norden A Co.: "It seems useless to
lay stress on large stocks to be carried
over, possible unpleasant political com
plications, Impending mill strikes in
England, or any other Ventures that

the main issue, that has never been lost
sight of by investors, is that cotton
around or below 10 cents is cheap and
should be bought and held indefinitely."

help of all kinds for business men, professional men, man
ufacturers and the home.
It seldom fails, and it is good to know that those Jn
search of employment, or those who seek to better them
selves when engaged, look to The Georgian for the assist
ance it renders so effectively and continuously.
The Georgian is the “Help Wanted” directory of At
