B}A veritable health drive is now in
ogress in Atlanta, where Pomeroy’s
Puratone is being urgently called
upon by thousands of men and women
who have tried many other medicines
without success. And none, so far as
ean be learned, have been disap

as well as those who have hopelessly
suffered with kidney, liver and blad

that Puratone has restored them to

any man or woman has suffered, they
may try again to restore their health.
Those who wish to feel sure that
Puratone is a genuine relief have the
word of honest people of Atlanta

truth.

Lesson to Modern
America Shown in
Memory of Lincoln
;By THOMAS R. MARSHALL, -
Vice President of the United States.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—America
stands for something or for nothing.
I am one of those who believe it
stands for something.
It is the one land where the mys
tery of manhood may be fully re
vealed; where, at the last, not race
nor creed nor station, but character,
shall win and purposes shall be the
weights put in the balance of judg
ment. It is the land of hope and
not despair.
If T were asked to tell why thus
I think, I should say that what has
been may be. If I were called upon
to name one man who proved my
statement, I should answer, Abraham
Lincoln.
And with the name all doubt would.
vanish and the babel of discordant
views become dumb, Before you
would arise his tall, majestic figure,
sharply silhouetted against a nine
teenth century sky, and you would
see passing before you the years
wherein he walked from the nation’s
poverty to the nation’s Pantheon.
He proved our country’s right to
be, and our power to be right. Who
walks in his steps in public or in
private life will always be enrolled
in the army of constitutional lib
erty.
His is the one life in our history
we can not too often review nor too
sedulously emulate. We may forget
all others, but while we remember
him in the true sense of remembrance
we shall be safe. Too much can not
be said or sung of him. He can not
too often be recalled to the memory
of this people. The marble and the
bronze are enriched by his homely
face. The pigment takes on a richer
color as it traces his counterfeit pre
tentment. And when the poet sweeps
his strings in music to the greatness
and the goodness of this typical
American, his chords approach the
divine—for it was given Lincoln to
die for a people.
By CHAMP CLARK,
Of Missouri.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Abraham
Lincoln has been so much talked
about and written about that it is
utterly impossible to say anything
new about him.
The lexicons of both praise and
blame have been exhausted in his
case.
He has become in a large sense a
myth or a legend. Even the artists
have /)‘ changed his pictures that
in a few years the people can know
how the man really looked only by
digging up old discarded portraits of
him: the same trick which they have
performed for Napoleon.
Of all things ever said of him, Sec
retary Stanton’s sentence was the
best—“He belongs to the Ages.”
By JULIUS KAHN,
Representative from California.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—What a
+ enderful inspiration the life of Abe
Lincoln must be to the peopie of
America in these days.
A man of humble origin by his
ability, force of character and stead
fastness reached the highest position
within the gife of a free people.
When he became President he ap
pointed his cabinet, as his advis>rs,
in determining the great questions
that confronted the nation, the men
and kept me clearing it of mucus day
and night. My ears would ring and
my breath had a very unpleasant
odor.
“My appetite was poor and I could
not eat such things as-cabbage, beans
and tomatoes. In fact, there were
very few vegetables and little meats
I could eat. I was nervous, weak and
seemed to be losing weight and
strength every day. I tried all kinds
of medicines, but nothing seemed too
help me.
. “Then I heard about Pomeroy’s
Puratone and decided to try it. The
results were wonderful. I improved
from the very beginning. Not only
‘has the catarrah been relieved, but
my stomach trouble is a thing of the
past. My head has cleared up and I
feel great. I haven't a sign of a
trouble now, my strength has been in
creased wonderfully and I have gained
nine pounds. I have a splendid appe
tite and can eat anything I want—
such things as beans, cabbage, stew
meat and the like agree with me per
fectly and everything tastes so good.
This Puratone has certainly made a
well man of me in a very short time,
and I can not praise it too highly.
It’s wonderful.” |
Puratone is especially introduced
in Atlanta under the supervision of
the Puratone representative at the
main store of Jacobs’ Pharmacy. It
can also be obtained at any of the
Jacobs’ stores. One leading druggist
in every town has the exclusive agency
for Puratone. Over thirty thousand

Their eloquence lays bare the great
soul of our martyred President.
By SENATOR MILES POINDEXTER
(Of Washington.)
WASHINGTON, Feb, 11.—The
Americanism for which Lincoln
stood, and which we wish to pre
serve, not only includes the idea that
this should be a harmonious and in
dissoluble union of indestructible
States, but that this Union shall
likewise be an independent and sov
ereign nation, free from the con
trol of any foreign power or combi
nation of foreign powers.
Americanism also includes the pa
triotic devotion to our country in
preference to any other and willing
ness on the part of our citizens to
make sacrifices, if necessary in its
services, and to promote interests of
its people.
The fundamental principle of
Americanism is the security of the
individual in his person and prop
erty rights against violence, whether
of private creed, or of the ambition
of a foreign power. It is based upon
the principle of self government
which in turn, depneds upon a rule
by law and the willingness of every
citizen to submit to the lawul de
crees of government and the deci
sions of the courts, all of which under
our free constitution, are established,
maintained and directed by the peo
ple themselves. We are now offered
a substitute for these time honored
principles whose wisdom has been
demonstrated by experience and by
tite happenings which our people have
attained as a pation. We are told
that in some mysterious way, by the
establishment of a new order of
things «rd the abandonment of an
ancient policy of American states
men, the affairs of man kind will be
determined by universal agreement.
It is proposed to establish a council
and an assembly in which shall be
vested the powers of peace and war,
the supervision of our foreign trade,
the final judgment in verey foreign
&;spute in which we may become in
viived and the control of our army
&zrd navy, however vital it may be
to our existence as a nation. The
¢® perience of our fathers has ta.ught‘
us that the only safeguard of liberty
is to retain that power in the bandsi
of the people. The proposal to sur
render it to a combination of foreign
states is a betrayal f the American
people. ‘
By SENATOR THOMAS P. GORE,
Of Oklahoma. X
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—The
career of Abraham Lincoln is one
of the finest fruits in American de
mocracy. From the depths of in
digence he rose to the summit of
political position. By common con
sent alike of friend and former foe,
he was the fittest man in America
for that high and representative
station. This proves the importance
of keeping wide open the door of
opportunity—like gate ajar. It also
points the difference between equal
ity of opportunity and equality of
talents. Men are endowed by na
ture with unequal talents. They
should be endowed by their goverrm
ment with equal opportunities Men
of the most unequal talents shoula@
be afforded equal opportunities to
render the highest possible service
to their country and to their kind.
A contrary course is to squander
‘society’s richest inheritance. A con
trary course would have denied this
country the genius and the services
‘of Abraham Lincoln. :

WASHINGTON, Feb, 11.—As Lln-‘
coln died, Secretary of State Stanton
utered the historic phraise, “He be
longs to the ages,” and this is true.
But with all of his great virtues, none ‘
shine out more distinctly than his
Americanism. Born of poverty, he
reached the presidencey, liberated a‘
race and reunited a divided country.
He was one of the rare chzrn.cwre!
who could “walk with kings nor lose
the common touch.”
In this day when the anarchists
and Communists, the reds and the
1. W. W.'s are threatening the over
throw of the government, were Lin
coln with us today he would say,
“I will hit hard.” Lincoln was a real
American. Let us profit by his ex

By SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER,
Of Kansas.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—We hear
these days a great deal of America
first. Some apparently held to the
belief that we can best serve Amer
jca first by relieving Europe of the
penalty of war with which she af
flicted the world.
Can anybody fancy Abraham Lin

last generation, proposing that Amer

order to provide an easy way for
Europe to escape the consequences
of her misdeeds?

Be Careful What You
.
Wash Your Hair With
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali which |is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makeg the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Muisified
eocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can.get thig at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the halr with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
casily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt a.ndl‘
dandruff.—Adv.

Underwood’s Seat
Paying a visit to Atlanta is the
next thing to visiting New York, in
the opinion of Charles Henderson,
former governor of Alabama, who is
in Atlanta on a pleasure trip and who
talked of political and business &af
fairs in Alabama.
“We are expecting a hot race for
the United States Senate in Alabama
and all the preliminary preparations
are in progress,” said the former
governor. ‘“United States Senator
Oscar Underwood is opposed for the
Democratic nomination by L. B. Mus
grove or Jasper and Samuel D. Weak

point to a hot fight”
~ Mr. Henderson finished a four year
‘term as governor of Alabama Janu
ary, 1919, being succeeded by Thomas
E. Kilby of Anniston. It was during
‘his administration that the famous
“liquor raids” were made at Girard,
just across the river from Columbus,
where more than $1,000,000 worth of
whisky was confiscated.
“I can’'t compliment Atlanta too
much,” said the former executive. “I
always enjoy my visits to this city
and I must hand it to you.”
Mr. Henderson wag accompanied by
his wife, former head of the Alabama
fState Federation of Woman's Clubs.
They are at the Piedmont Hotel.

Atlanta National advertisements have fre
quently called. attention to the stupendous
value of Georgia's agricultural products,
which last year amounted to $613,240,000,
exclusive of live stock.
In order to help you realize just how remark
able the growth has been, and to show you
how utterly impossible it is for the partial or
total failure of any one crop to seriously
cripple Georgia, we want to give a few fig
ures showing the value of some crops not
even considered “money crops’’ a very few
years ago. ”
Peanuts in 1916 yielded a crop worth
$1,500,000. The 1919 crop was worth
more than $15,000,000.
There were not enough velvet beans in 1916
for the government to make a report on, but
in 1919 the government reports gave Geor
gia's velvet bean crop a valuation of
$3,100,000. :
Half the people in Atlanta don't realize that
tobacco can be grown, commercially, in
Georgia. But the actual cash value of the
1919 crop was $3,532,000 even with ad
verse weather conditions,

No one looked upon Oats as a cash crop
even three or four years ago. They were all
right as a by-product when some other crop
was to be planted, or to provide a little feed
for the animals on the farm. But Georgia
farmers sold some $12,000,000 worth of
oats last year. Many other crops increased
in about the same proportion. The Live
Stock valuation, for instance, showed an IN
CREASE in 1919 of more than $50,000,000
over the 1918 valuation.
Georgia fruits in 1919 brought Georgia
farmers in cash more than $20,000,000.
The tremendous increase in acreage of all
crops, other than Cotton, the improved
methods of farming furnish the answer to
the question, “Why the 801 l Weevil Didn't
Hurt Georgia,” and show why Georgia, the
