Farmers Complain
Al
Of Pure Food Law
That provisions 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 for a ruling on the
law,
. The complaint was brought about
’by a wholesale merchant near Sa
vannah who had purchased formal
dehyde to sell to his customers. Dr.
T. A. Cheatham, State Drug Inspect-
Jor, discovered this action and notified
the merchant that the formaldehyde
could 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 the insec
ticide.

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

said:

this country a party to thi§ conflict.

termined that I could better serve the

Bernstorff Presents Memorandum
Amplifying Orders to Sink
'
Armed Ships.

Continued From Page 1. '
starve Germany into submission by
these illegal means, 1‘
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 mnearly 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
governments 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
‘disarmamem 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 fails still 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 existencg of these
‘orders.
.~ “England’s allies have adopted the
position.
~ “Now, Germany is facing the foi
lowing facts:
~ “(a) A blockade contrary to inter
inatinna! law (compare American note
to England of November 5, 1915) has
lfnr one year been keeping neutral
trade 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 to England
'of November 5, 1915) the overseas
‘trade of neighboring neutral coyn
tries, so far as Germany is concerned,
has been hampered.
“(c) The interception of mails in
violation of international law (com
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,
following the principle of ‘might be
fore right,’ England has prevented
neutral trade on land with Germany
£0 as to complete the blockade of the
central powers intended to starve
their civil population.
“(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.
“(f) Our enemies have armed their
merchant vessels for offensive pur
poses, theoretically making it impos
sible to uge our U-boats according to
the bprinciples set forth in London
declaration (compare American mem
orandum of February 8, 1916).
“The English White Book of Janu
ary 5, 1916, on the restriction of Ger
man trale, boasts that by the British
measures Germanyv's export trade has
been stopped almost entirely, while
her imports are subject to England’'s
will
“The Imperial Government feels
confident that the people of the Unit
ed States, remembering the friendly
relations that for the last hundred
yvears have existed between the two
nations, will, in spite of the difficul
ties put into the way by our enemies,
appreciate the German viewpoint as
laid down above.”

Veteran of Civil War Was After
wards Leader in Atlanta
. Financial World. :
The ‘funeral of Christopher Colum
bus McGehee, 76, retired business
leader, who died Tuesday night at the
home, No. 676 Peachtree street, will
be held there Wednesday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock, and the body will be
sent to Columbus for interment in the
family lot. {
Mr. McGehee was widely known in
Georgia and the Scuth. He had been
confined to his home with rheumatisin
for about five years.
Mr. McGehee was born October 25,
1839, in Russell <vunty, Alabama, the
son of Isaac McGehee and Martha
Harrison Kennon McGehee. His fa
ther was a leading planter. He en
tered the Confederate army at the
opening of the war as a member of
the City Light Guard. of Columbus.
This company was ordered to Norfoik,
Va., on April 19, 1861, and with the
Macon Volunteers, the Floyd Rifles
and the Spalding Grays it composad
the Second Georgia Battallol). For a
year Mr. McGehee toug\r;t in this com
mand in Virginia and North Carolina,
and remained with the <company
throughout, serving as local paymas
ter of the Confederate States Navsl
Iron Works at Columbus near the
close of the war, when he contracted
typhoid fever.
The employees of thigs concern
formed the Naval Iron Works Bat
talion, and Mr. McGehee was made
captain. This command opposed Gen
eral Sherman in his march to the sca
and defended Columbus against raid
ing parties under General Wilson.
In April, 1865, when General Wilson
and his raiders captured Columbuys, a
conspicuous service was rendered by
Captain McGehee, in charge of one of
the companies of the Naval Irou
Works. He was ordered to destroy
the lower bridge at Columbus. This
was done under terrific fire from the
Federal troops, and so courageously
and successfully accomplished that it
resulted in his subsequently belng
brevetted major.
When the war closed, Mr. McGehee
organized the cotton firm of Flournoy
& McGehee, and later the cotton firin
of McGehee & Hatcher. He was a
director of several business concerns,
and for one term was chairman of the
Finance Committee of the Columbus
City Council.
On January 16, 1866, Mr. McGehee
married Miss Josephine Garrett,
' daughter of Daniel A. Garrett. He re
tired in 1882 and removed to Atlanta
for his wife's health. Soon afl
er he came here he organized the
Traders Bank, with James sR. Wylie
and W. J. Van Dyke, and was its
first president. This bank was the
foundation of the present Fourth Na
tional Bank. Mr. McGehee for manv
vears was president of the Atlanta
Banking and Savings Company, anA
wag a director in a number of other
institutions.
Surviving him are a son, C. C. Mec-
Gehee, Jr.; a daughter, Mrs. Christo
pher Louis Stoney, widow of Christo
pher I. Stoney, and several grand
children, including Misses Josephine

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
| Salts.
R
Rheumatism is easier to avold than
to cure, states a well-known author
ity. We are advised to dress warmly,
keep the feet dry, avoid exposure, eat
lees meat, but drink plenty of good
water.
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 the
function of the kidneys to filter 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 ellminate the
urie acid which keeps accumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles, causing stiffness, soreness
and pain, called rheumatism,
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Balts: put a table
spoonful in a glass of water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week, This is sald to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
~ Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
'and ig made from the aclid of grapes
iand lemon julce, combined with lithia,
and is used with excellent results by
!thnusnnds of folks who are gubject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithiawater drink
which helps overcome urle acld and is
beneficial to your kidneys as well. —

its funds are a sacred trust. The Armstrong investigation, inaugurated
by the New York Legislature in 1905, developed that officers and diree
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 dither directly
or indirectly borrow any of the company’s funds; nor shall any
member directly or indirectly receive or take any commissions
tor 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 Rule 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.”
