capitals now exceeds $1,000,000 a day,

cate exports may top the present
high total.
Federal Reserve Board officials to
da,v. estimated that gold exports for
1920 may reach $400,000,000,
Tabulations on shipments of the
precious metal abroad show that
South America gets the larger share.
Practically one-third of the goid
shipped since January 1 has gone to
consignees in Argentine. Almnsr:
equally large shipments went to|
China and Japan.

Gas Producers Hit by
7
Shortage of ‘Gas Oil
Nation-wide shortage of “gas oil,”
a petroleum product used with coal
and water in manufacturing illumi
nating and heating gas, is causing a
serious condition with gas producers,
according to an announcement made
Friday by the Atlanta Gas Light
Company. The co-operation of the
government and State utility commis
sions in alleviating conditions has
been asked.
Increased demand for gasoline and
fuel oil for ships is responsible for
the shortage, it is said. Gas compa
nies are economizing in the use of
oil so far as possible.
“Tiz” for Tired
o . "
Use “Tiz"” for Puffed-Up,
Burning, Aching, Cal
loused Feet and Corns.
Why go limping around with ach
ing, puffed-up feet—feet so tired,
chafed and swoiien you can hardly
get your shoes on or off? Why don't
you get a box of “Tiz” from the
drug store now and gladden your tor
tured feet?
“Piz”’ makes your feet glow with
comfort; takes down swellings and
draws the soreness and misery right
out of feet that chafe, smart and
burn. “Tiz” instantly stops pain in
corns, callouses and bunions. “Tiz”
is glorious for tired, aching, sore
feet. No more shoe tightness—no
more foot torture.——Adv.
