Relief for Torpid Livers
and Habitual
The liver is the largest and most im
portant organ in the body, and when the
liver refuses to act, it causes constipa¬
tion, biliousness, headaches, indigestion,
gas, diarrhoea, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery
pains in back and under shoul¬
der blades and under ribs on right side
These symptoms lead to colds, influenza
or other serious troubles unless corrected
immediately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which overtaxes
them and causes the blood to absorb and
carry into the system the impurities that
the liver and kidneys have failed to elim¬
inate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only a third of your trouble, and
that is why you have to take purgatives
every few nights. Calomel or other or¬
dinary laxatives do not go far enough,
if you would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver, you would put
your entire system in order and frequent
purgatives would then be unnecessary.

Honey Yield Higher.
The average yield of surplus honey |
In 1910 was 50 pounds to a colony of
honey bees, as estimated by the bureau
of crop estimates, United States de¬
partment of agriculture. This is con¬
siderably above the average of 45
pounds in 1913, and of 41.0 pounds for
the five years, 1913-17. The relative
proportions in which the honey of the
last two years was marketed are in¬
dicated by 59 for extracted honey, 31
for comb honey, and 10 for bulk honey.
About one-third of the product goes
to “outside” markets.

Took Throne From Sister.
It is not generally known that the
king of Spain succeeded not his fa¬
ther, but his sister, the Infanta Mer¬
cedes, who was, though only six years
old, queen of Spain from the death of
her father, Alfonso XII. to the birth of
the present king. Altogether she
reigned 100 days, probably the short¬
est reign on record. The Salic law,
which bars females from the accession
to a throne, does not operate in Spain,
and until the sex of Alfonso Nil’s
posthumous child was determined, the
eldest of his two daughters automat¬
ically succeeded him.

tlie laboring man have improved, and
lie will never go back to the conditions
of the past. A Cincinnati company In

demand today for 12 bathtubs where
there was a demand for one ten years

THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA.
LEGISLATURE WILL
MCE! THIS MONTH
state legislature to begin
SESSION IN ATLANTA
ON JUNE 23.
STATE HEWi lF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here and
There From All Sections
Of The State
Atlanta—Completion of the pro¬
gram looking to a system of state
highways will be the most Important
subject, engaging the attention of the
Georgia legislature when it convenes
for its annual session on the fourth
Wednesday in June.
This present legislature made a
name for itself by the remarkable vol¬
ume of constructive legislation which
it enacted at the 1919 session. That
it will live up to that reputation by
completing the highway program at
the 1920 session is the general belief
among legislative leaders and others
familiar with the thought of the state.
The highway program consists of
two parts. The first part was past'd
at tlie 1919 session. The second part
was introduced at the 1919 session
and made fair progress on the calen¬
dar. It therefore comes over as un¬
finished business to the 1920 session.
Part 1 of the highway program con¬
sisted of the act revising the scale of
motor vehicle licenses and appropriat¬
ing the rece pts of the same to the
highway b ard to be expended in the
construction of a state highway sys¬
tem; together with the act
the highway board and defining its
powers. These two acts became ef¬
fective on the first of January. A
question has been raised on technical
grounds concerning the constitution¬
ality of the motor vehicle act. This
question is in the courts for settle¬
ment. It is heped to get a settlement
by or soon after the convening of the
legislature, so that the legislature can
cure the defect of the law if the su¬
preme court holds it unconstitutional.
Part 2 of the highway progrm con¬
sists of a bill to amend the constitu¬
tion so as to provide for an issuance
of state highway bonds to construct
the system of highways contemplated
by the act creating the highway board.
This is the part of the program that
will come before the legislature as
unfinished business at the 1920 ses¬
sion.
Motor vehicle licenses have produc¬
ed* in 1920 an aggregate revenue, over
and above the clerical and postage ex¬
pense of handling the license tags, of
$1,667,000. Several thousand licenses
will be sold during the remainder of
the year, so that the total for 1920
w ll probably be in round numbers $1,-
700,000.
This annual revenue from motor ve¬
hicles is bound to increase from year
to year with the increase of motor
vehicles. It would be possible to con¬
struct a highway system in annual in¬
stallments, but construction would
thus be strung out over a long period
of years, so that many of the present
generation would not live to see the
system finished and enjoy its benefits
Delegation Ready For Trip To S. F.
Atlanta.—Ttie Georgia delegati n to
the Democratic national convention is
ready for its long trip to San Francis¬
co and the members of the steering
commit! ee of the delegation are ready
to beg n their fight to prevent recogni¬
tion of tlie “rump” Palmer delegation,
according t, • a statement issued by
Col. H. H. Perry of Gainesville, chair¬
man of the steering committee. The
delegation will take to San Francisco
a certificate from Judge J. J. Flynt, 1
chairman of the state committee, to
the effect that the convention held in
Atlanta May 18 was a regular conven¬
tion held under party rules; also a !
certificate from Judge J. J. Flynt say-j
ing ^liat n delegates or alternates tot
the national convention were elected i
ai the primaries as claimed by the
Palmer men. The delegation in addi¬
tion will carry a certificate signed by
Sam L. Olive, chairman of the conven¬
tion, and E. B. Moore, secretary, to
the effecl that the “regular” delega¬
tion v/as duly elected in convention
assembled over a ticket placed before
the convention by the Palmer minor
!y. The Palmer delegation, which
v 11 seek recognition at the National
convention, will leave Atlanta Mon¬
day, June 21. The delegates will ar
ive in San Francisco on the same
day as the “regular” delegation.
Forger Sentenced
Brunswick. — W. L. Wright, the
young white man who forged a check
on a local merchant a short time ago,
and who was captured after a lively
chase, entered a plea of guilty in the
city court and was sentenced to serve
e’ght months on the changang or pay
a fine of $100. As yet the young man
has been unable /to pay the fine. It
is understood that he is wanted in
other cities on a similar charge.
Millen Hospital
Millen.—The opening of the Millen
hospital will occur July 4. The hos¬
pital was begun the early part of the
year and is new about complete. The
institution is capitalized at $30,000 and
s modern in every particular. A big;
celebration will be held here in honor;
of the event and also commemorative 1
of the fourth of July. A barbe cue
will be served by the directors of the
Millen Hosp tal company and a baoe
ball game will be staged also for 'he
entertainment of the visitors. i
Machine lo combat Weevil*
Valdosta.—D. D. Smith, a Valdof.taj
traveling salesman, has invented ah
ingenious contrivance with which to
fight the boll weevil and cotton grow¬
ers who have seen it in operation, be¬
lieve the apparatus is the best weapon
yet found. Mr. Smith’s invention con¬
sists of heavy hollow iron rollers,
heated by gasoline flames, which are
drawn like a plow between the row^
of cotton, burning the weevil to death.
A frame attached to the device, anfi
drawn by one mule, extends in front
of the rollers over the cotton rows,
and carries a talcn from which prison
is sifted over the cotton, poisoning thq
weevils. This frame also has wooden
fingers which shake the cotton salks,
knocking off the weevils to fall to the
ground and be stewed in their own
grease by the hot rollers. The., rollers
have an asbestos covering to prevent
injury to cotton pant. Jets of flame
issue from the holes in the rollers,
and play constantly on the ground,
killing all insects and grubs. Mr;
Smith estimates that the cost of thq
apparatus will not greatly exceed the
cost of a good plow. The inventor
has already received three patents on
his apparatus and will probably pro¬
ceed to manufacture and market the
invention.
Georgia Meat Importation Figures
Atlanta.—That Georgia continues to
import vast quantities of meat, not¬
withstanding the growth of the hog
and cattle industry in the state, is
shown by statistics compiled by Dr.
Peter F. Bahnsen, state veterinarian.
His figures cover the years 1916, 1917,
1918 and 1919. They show that the
state produced more foodstuffs in 1918
than in any other year on record, and
raised and marketed more cattle and
hogs than in any other year, but at
the same time imported a greater
quantity of meat from other states.
This is explained by Dr. Bahnsen on
the theory that war conditions were
responsible for both high records. Ip
1918 the government made a drive for
increased food production to help win
(he war. In 1918 there were trained
in Georgia many thousands of soldiers
and a large part of their diet consist¬
ed of meat. In 1916 the state of Geor¬
gia Imported a total of 60,690,767
pounds of meat of all kinds, Including
dressed cattle, hogs and sheep, pork
and pork products of all kinds, lard,
caned meats and other packing house
products. In 1917 the state Imported a
total of 57,507,089 pounds; in 1918 a
total of 99,570,339 pounds; in 1919 a
total of 88,537,713 pounds.
Campaign on Against Short Weights
Macon.—The storm of protest which
has arisen in Macon over the alleged
practice of ice wagons of giving short
weight and refusing to sell ice to cus¬
tomers who complained, has aroused
the police to action and wholesale ar¬
rests will follow If the practice con¬
tinues, it Is declared. Already Chief
Martin Thompson has assigned a num¬
ber of plain clothes men to take up
the trail of the ice men and where evi¬
dence of short weight is secured ar¬
rests will be made. It is understood
chaingang sentences, instead of fines,
will be imposed on the guilty parties.
The first arrest made in the campaign
was that, of Will Adams. A detective
who trailed his wagon saw him make
a sale of what was supposed to be
one hundred pounds of ice. The de*
tective weighed the ice after it had
been placed in the refrigerator and
found that it tipped the scales at onty
eighty-five pounds. As it was (he firstj
arrest, Adams was permitted to es.
cape a chaingang sentence by the pay.
ment of a fine of $25. The retail price
of ice in Mac n has recently been in¬
creased from fifty cents per one hun¬
dred pounds to sixty cents.
Experiment Station Does Good Work
Tifton.—Although work for the first
year at the Coastal Plain Experiment
station is necessarily largely work of
preparation, it being necessary to clear
the land, erect needed buildings,
strong fences, etc., despite the scarcity
of labor and the high price of building
malerial, the preliminary work has
made good progress, and quite a lot
of experimental work has been d ne.
The station has experimented th s
year in eleven varieties of wheat.
Both grain crops were good, the oats
especially. Experiments are under
way with seventeen varieties of corn
and eighteen varieties of cotton; also
experiments are being made in boil
weevil poisoning with calcium arse¬
nate. With the new year, having ne¬
cessary buildings and sufficient clear¬
ed land, Director Starr expects to con¬
duct experiments on an extens ve
scale in all crops common to this sec¬
tion. Also in many new crops that
may be adapted to this soil and cli¬
mate.

Ka lway company, which was bought

Mrs. Boney To Serve Term
Savannah.—Mrs. J. D. Boney, con¬
victed in the city court several weeks
ago of shoplifting, has withdrawn her
application for a new trial and has
decided to accept her sentence of one
year at the state farm at Milledge
ville. She will be taken soon to begin
her . sentence. J. D. Boney, husband
of the convicted woman, who was him
self convicted of violating the prohibi
tion law and sentenced to a year on
