that there are 1.100 Ringer “jake”
paralytics in Kansas, 600 of whom

I lectors and chemists are still look- j
ing for the cause and a remedy for
the milady, which, according to the j
prohibition bureau, has deprived j
about 16,000 persons in the natiofi,
including a number in Georgia, of
the use of their legs, arm.* and feet.
There arc said to ba 600 victims in
Oklahoma City.
In Topeka a few days .age the
federal grand jury indicted 19 7 per
sons in connection with the sale of
thi ginger. The jury has reconvened
this week for further investigation.
The laboratory experts are working
on the theory that the alcohol used in
the ginger which produced the “jake
legs” was redistilled indu.-trial alco
hol, and that in the redistilling some,
of the poisons prescribed by the fed- j
oral denaturant formulas were left.
The Wichita health authorities
take the view, however, that the
poison was in the ginger root and
not in the alcohol. Dr. R. E. Hobbs,
ho'id of the city health department, !
after many tests, holds the theory I

Catching fish for being drunk
sounds like a fairy tale, but never
theless it’s so, according to Deputy
Sheriffs C. A. Atwell and Dick Car
ter, of Waynesboro, who raided a
still on Beaver Dam creek in Burke
county and dumped 25 six hundred
gallon vats of mash into the creek.
In a few moments the young son
of Deputy Atwell told him that the
fish were acting queerly and ap
peared to be getting drunk, where
upon the two deputies decided to in
vestigate and found that the finny
tribe were having the time of their
lives.
A> a result of the fishes’ spree 73
bream and one trout were caught by
merely picking them up and taking
them into custody of the law. Just
what flavor the mash lent to the
fish the deputy refuses to say.
The thoughtful people of Baldwin
countv will over whelmingly vole for
Ed Rivers for Governor on Septem-1
ber the 10th. because they know that
with Representative Allen in the j
House and Senator Ennis in the
Senate and Ed Rivers in the Gov- I
ernor’a chair the interests of the j
Institutions located here will be well

PERFUMED MONEY LEADS TO
ARREST OF DUSKY ROMEO
S#
A rare perfume brought the heavy
hand of the law down on the head
of daTk-skinned Romeo Lewis in
Savannah.
• Mrs. J. H. Lynch, Jr., complained
to police that she had been robbed
of $35 in cash. The authorities ur-
rcsted Romeo and found $34.14 in
his possession.
The police judge heard the case
and after positive identification of
the bills because they had adsorbed
the odor of a rare perfume Mis.
Lynch carried in her purse at the
time the money was missed, ruled the
evidence sufficient to hold Romeo
for trial.

ne lease of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, owned by the
State. r.nd conservatively estimated
to he worth twenty-five million
dollars, was approaching expira
tion. The railroad which had it
under lease applied to the Secre
tary of State for a charter to build
a parallel line. Under the then
existing law, the Secretary or State
had no authority to refuse to issue
the charter. Had it been issued,
and had the parallel line been
built, the Western and Atlantic
railroad would have been rendered
practically worthless.
As Governor of Georgia, in that
situation, it was. my duty to exer
cise the utmost authority vested in
me to protect the State’s property.
I promptly informed the President
of the railroad that if the appli
cation were not withdrawn. I would
immediately call the Legislature in
special session to enact whatever
measures might he necessary to
prevent the paralleling of the
Western and Atlantic. The appli
cation was withdrawn; the charter
was not issued; the Western and
Atlantic a short time later was
leased for a period of fifty year*
more; and at the end of the lease
its value will far exceed what it is
today.

When children nro irritable and
peevish, grind their teeth and ileep
restlessly, have digestive pains and dis
turbances, lack of appetite, and have
itching eyes, nose and fingers, doctors
will not always agree that they arc suf
fering from worms. Many mothers, too,
trill not believe that their carefully
brought up children con have worms.
The fart remains that these symptoms
trill yield, ia a great majority of cases,
to a few doses of White’s Cream Ver
mifuge, the sure expel!ant of round
and pin worms. If your child has any
of these symptoms, try this harm
