Farmers Complain
0f Pure Food Law
That provisiens of the Georgia pure
food and drug law work a hardship
to farmers, because of its regulation
of the sale of poisons, is the basis of
a complaint made to the State De
partment of Agriculture, which has
passed the matter up to Attorney
General Walker fer a ruling on the
law,
The complaint was brought about
by & wholesale merchant near Sa
svranah who had purchased formal
fdehyde to sell to his customers, Dr.
T. A. Cheatham, State Drug Inspeect
or, discovered this action and notified
Lthv; merchant that the formaldehyde
“erdld not be sold except by a licensed |
drug store.
This is said to affect many farmers,
because many times their purchase of
bug poisons and other eliminants of
insect life would involve them in con
siderable inconvenience if they had
to visit a drug store to get theSnsec
ticide. |

Peace Wilson's First
.
Aim, Senate Is Told
(By International News Service,)
WASHINGTON, March B.—“ The
President's supreme wish, far from
desiring to involve the United States
in war, is to avoid that calamity,”
Senator Stone, chairman of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee, told
the Senate this afternoon in a pre
pared statement.
Senator Stone's statement, in part,
said:
“Last night I had another very
frank talk with the President. I say a
frank talk, for that is the way we talk
with each other, as we should. I am
sure I will not offend if I say that, so
far from the President desiring to in
volve this country in this disastrous
European war, his supreme wish is to
avoid this calamity, I may not be in
accord with some of his views—l have
already stated that on the Senate
floor—but it should be impossible for
any Senator to believe that the Pres
ident has so changed the attitude he
has so long maintained as an advo
cate of peace as to wish now to make
this country a party to this conflict.
“In view of this situation, I have de
termined that I could better serve the
cause I have at heart—that is, the
maintenance of peace in this country
—by withholding any expression of
my opinions so long as the questions’
at issue are the legitimate subject of
diplomatic negotiations. In the mean
time, I shall give the President what
ever support I can.”

Bernstorff Presents Memorandum

Amplifying Orders to Sink

starve Germany into submission by
these illegal means.
Germany Complied.
“Germany, after neutral citizens
had lost their lives against her wish
and intention, nevertheless complied
with the wishes of the American
Government regarding the use of her
submarines. The right of neutrals
regarding legal trading were, in fact,
nowhere limited by Germany.
“Then England made it impossible
for submarines to conform with the
old rules of international law by arm
ing nearly all merchantmen and by
ordering the use of guns on merchant
vessels for attack. Photographic re
productions of those instructions
have been transmitted to neutral
goveramments with the memorandum
of the German Government of Febru
ary 8, 1916.
“These orders are obviously in con
tradiction with the note delivered by
the British Ambassador in Washing
ton to the American Government on
August 25, 1914. On account of the
proposals, made by the United States
on January 23, 1916, regarding dis
armament, the Imperial Government
hoped that these facts would enable
the neutral governments to obtain the
disarmament of the merchant ships
of her opponents. The latter, how
ever, continued with great energy to
arm their merchantmen with guns.
“The principle of the United States
Government not to keep their citizens
off belligerent merchant ships has
been used by Great Britain and her
allies to arm merchant ships for of
fensive purposes. Under these cir
cumstances merchantmen can easily
destroy submarines, and if their at
tack failg stil consider themselves in
safety by the presence of American
citizens on board.
False Flags Ordered.
| “The order to use arms on British
merchantmen was supplemented by
instructions to the masters of such
ships to hoist false flags and to ram
U-boats. Reports on payments of
premiums and bestowal of decora
tions to successful masters of mer
chantmen show the existence of these
orders.
“England’'s allies have adopted the
position.
“Now, Germany is facing the foi
lowing faets:
“(a) A blockade contrary to inter
national law (compare American note
to Eneland of November §, 1915) has
for one year been keeping mneutral
Itrade from German ports and is mak
ing German exports impossible,
“(b) For eighteen months through
the extending of contraband provi
sions in violation of international law
(compare American note toe England
of November 5, 1915) the overseas
trade of neighboring neutral coun
tries, so far as Germany is concerned,
has been hampered.
“(e) The interception of mails in
violation of international law (ecom
pare American memorandum to Eng
land of January 10, 1916) is meant to
stop any intercourse of Germany with
foreign countries.
. “(d) By systematically and increas-
Ingly oppressing neutral countries,
’fnllnwing the principle of ‘might be
fore right’ England has prevented
‘neutral trade on land with Germany
lso as to complete the blockade of the
central powers intended to starve
| thelr civil poepulation.
“(e) Germany’s men by our ene
mies on the high seas are deprived of
their liberty, no matter whether they
are combatants or noncombatants.
Armed for Offensive.
) “UfY Our enemies have armed their
merchant vessels for offensive pur
poges, theoretically making it impos
sible to use our U-boats according to
the principles set forth in London
declaration (compare American mem
orandum of February 8, 1918).
| “The English White Book of Janu
ary 5, 1916, on the restriction of Ger
lman trale, boasts that by the British
‘measures Germany's export trade has
' been stopped almost entirely, while
ilu;‘r] imports are subject to England's
w
| “The Imperial Government feels
confident that the people of the Dnit
ed States, remembering the friendly
relations that for the last hundred
years have existed between the two
nations, will, in spite of the difficul
ties put into the way by our enemies,
‘appreciate the German viewpaint as
laid down above.”

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.
Rheumatism is easler to avold than
to cure, states a well-known author
ity, We are advised to dress warmly,
keep the feet dry, avold exposure, eat
heu meat, but drink plenty of good
water,
1 Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid, Which is
absorbed Into the blood. It is t‘o
function of the kidneys to fllter this
Acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are clos
ed, thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work; they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate the
uric acid which ke@a accumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles, causing #tiffness, soreness
and pain, called rheumatism,
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts: put a table
spoonful in a glass of water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week. This is sald to eliminate urie
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless
and Is made from the acld of grapes
and lemon julce, combined with lithia,
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which helps overcome uric aelid and is
‘bflwfifhl to vour kidnevs as well .

The management of a life insurance company must understand that
its funds are a sacred trust. ' The Armstrong investigation, inaugurated
by the New York Legislature in 1905, developed that officers and direc
tors of some companies did not appreciate the demands for integrity car
ried by their official positions.
The Southern States Life recognized the importance of this obligation
and established the principle of absolute observance of it by emphatie
statement in its by-laws, which provide that:
“No member of the Finance Committee shall either directly
or indirectly borrow any of the company’s funds; nor shall any
member directly or indirectly receive or take any commissions
for loans made, or upon securities purchased by the company.”
8. H. WOLFE, reporting to the Alabama Department of
Insurance, in 1908, said regarding this provision: ** It becomes my
pleasant duty to call attention officially to Ruile 5, of the Finance
Committee, which is an excellent one, and should be duplicated
in the laws of every insurance company.”’
JOHN F. ROCHE, Actuary, of New York, in a report to the
same department in 1912, emphasized this situation as follows:
“The Finance Committee pays close attention to the investment
of the Company’s funds and it should be heartily commended for
the resolution which they have adopted.”
