A veritable health drive is now in
progress in Atlanta, where Pomeroy’s
Puratone is being urgently called
ypon by thousands of men and women
who have tried many other medicines
without success. And none, so far as
can be learned, have been disap
pointed. Dyspeptics and rheumatics,
as well as those who have hopelessly
suffered with kidney, liver and blad
der troubles, are loudly proclaiming
¢hat Puratone has restored them to
healtn. It does not matter how long
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
whom they know, to prove it is the
truth.

London Editor Asserts United States Is Trying
to Incorporate Neighboring Dominion in the
Union—Country’s War Record Assailed.
(By Universal Service Staff Correspondent—Special Cable Dispatch.)
LONDON, Feb. 9.—Horatio Bottomley, in his widely read weekly, “John
Bull,” renews his violent attack on the United States. After a venomous
tirade against us, he makes Ih’ implied charge that back of the American
naval program lies a pla nto incorporate Canada in the Union. The text of
the article follows :
By HORATIO BOTTOMLEY.
(Member of Pa/rliament and In fluential British Publicist.)
British journals héve discovered 4
that the United States, having glut
ted herself to repletion with gold from
the allies, is still profiteering raven
ously at their expense while refusing
to co-operate with the nations of the
Old World in clearing up the mess.
And Uncle Sam is beginning to sit
up and take notice. Uncle Sam does
not howl until he is hurt. When he
begins to hiss ang, spit like an angry
car he has felt somet}}(ing. Nothing
runctures his. cuticle like plain, hon
est truth.
Uncle Sam filled his pockets before
he filied his cartridge belt. He final
ly came into the war, not to save his
honor, but to save his skin. Now
that the war is over, he means to ar
range a cheap peace following a
cheap victory. °
A SLAP AT PERSHING.
As a matter of history, one Bill
Adams won the Battle of Waterloo.
In the same way. if we are to believe
his own tale, Pershing won the war
against Germany
In America the term “vetcran” is
applied to any suldier who had been
in France more than a fortnight.
Pershing insults the real veterans
of this country 'y his implications
which are as false as they are offen
sive.
As late as 1916 that pale blooded
pedant, Wilson, was able to declare
that both sides were fighting for the
same thing. \What a miSerable trav
esty! .
There is no mystery about the
American attitude toward the eco~
nomic situation. She made war be
cause she thought she was in danger,
and ghe will not trouble to make a
decent peace because she knows that
now she‘is not .in danger. ‘
The Yankees engaged in high
sounding talk about making the world |
safe for democracy. What they meant |
was making the world safe for Amer-‘
ica. |
A VIEW OF AMERICA. pE ;
As soon as its selfish considerations
had ceased to operate the United
States washed its hands of the Euro
pean situation and resumed its favor
ite pursuit of raking in the shekels,
using its monopoly of gold and raw
materials to forestall and cripple the
competiition of the nations that won
the war.
High ideals were all very well for
cutting short a war that was begin
ning to get expensive, but there is no
use talking about brotherly love and
and kept me clearing it of mucus day
:;? night. My ears would ring and
| 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 tew vegetables and little meats
1 could eat. 1 was nervous, weak and
seemed to be losing weight and
strength every day. [ tried all kinds
of medicines, but nothing seemed to
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
bottles sold in Georgia alone in five
weeks.—Adv.
-the League of Nations to the hard
bitten Yankee broker ticking off his
prices on the continental tape. Sec
retary Daniels is unable to deny that
at a critical stage of the war he foul
ly insulted Britain. It seems a pe
culiarity of the full blown Yank that
he can not be civil in any company
that respects the example of George
Washington.
The suggestiem that in any sense
America won the war is an insuit to
the brave lads ‘who perished while
America sacrificed its honor on a
cross of gold.
HIS DENUNCIATION.
Seeing any hustling braggart, from
the commander of the American
forces down to the meanest news
sheet, endeavoring to oust our boys
from_the pinnacle of glory, we must
denounce him as the author of foul
aspirations upon the honor of heroes.
The Monroe Doctrine is typically an
American product; America will not
allow a European power to interfcre
on the American continent and will
not intervene in Hurope unless it
suits her purpose.
Do you want America to take up
ner duties, s‘gn peace and unravel
the economic tangle? Quite simple:
Show her 20 per cent.
I can not help thinking of the big
naval program of America. I should
like to see the supreme council ask: |
“Against whom are you arming?” |
1 keep thinking of Canada, whose
allegiance is being awfully under
mined by the insidious and subtle‘
American propaganda. I see, at a
not distant date, overtures by Amer
ica to Canada, inviting her confeder
ation with the American States. The
response will be nothing other than
refusal. 3
But what then? I don’t like that
naval program.
Watch America.

lße Careful What You - I
- .
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 Mulsified
cocoanut oil ghampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and heats 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 hair 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
easily. 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 n.ndl

Former Governor
Sees Hot Race for
: Faa
Underwood's Seat
Paying a visit to Atlanta is tne
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 prellminary preparations
are in progress,” s=aid 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
ley of Birmingham. All indications
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
“liguor 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 was afecompanied by
his wife, former head of the Alabama
[State Federation of Woman’s Clubs.
They are at the Piedmont Hotel.

who late last night held up and rob
ber Cyril C. Cohen and his two sis

worth $20,000.
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. e ;
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 vaiuation 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
Fifth agricultural State in the Unior, and
Atlanta, the heart of Georgia, will continue
to enjoy a real and permanent prosperity,
The Atlanta National is proud of its past
