The “Liver Tone” Man Warns
Folks Against the Sickening,
Salivating Drug.
»
Ugh ! Calomel makes you sick. It’s
horrible! Take a dose of the danger¬
ous drug tonight and tomorrow you
lose a day.
Calomel Is mercury! When it comes
into contact with sour bile, It crashes
into it, breaking it up. Then is when
you feel that awful nausea and cramp¬
ing. If you are sluggish, if liver is
torpid and bowels constipated or you
have headnehe, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach
sour, just try a spoonful of harmless
Dodson's Liver Tone tonight.
Here’s my guarantee—Co to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't-straighten you
right up and make you feel fine and
vigorous, go back to the store and get
your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone is
destroying tiie sale of calomel because
it can not salivate or make you sick.—

THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA-
600,000 COTTON
CROP FOR GEORGIA
STATE’S COTTON CROP DAMAGED
BY BOLL WEEVIL TO GREATER
EXTENT THAN ESTIMATED
STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here And
There From Ail Section Of
The State
Atlanta.—Georgia’s cotton crop has
seen damaged by the boll weevil to
even a greater extent than was believ¬
ed recently according to J. J. Brown,
commissioner of' agriculture, who an¬
nounced recently that he will revise
his estimate of 700,000 bales for Geor¬
gia and 7,000,000 bales for the cotton
belt. Mr. Brown said recently he does
not believe Georgia will produce much
more than 600,000 bales and that the
cotton belt will not produce more than
6,500,000.
The revised estimate was discussed
by Mr. Brown recently after he had
returned from the experiment farm at
Griffin. At the farm he found the boll
weevil conditions much worse than
he had first thought and reports re¬
ceived at the farm were to the effect
that the condition of the crop in all
parts of the state is extremely poor.
"They have fifteen acres of cot¬
ton at the experiment farm,” Mr.
Brown said. "Usually they make
about fifteen bales of cotton in this
field. This year they won’t make
three bales.”
Mr. Brown said the cotton raised
at the experiment farm was produced
without regard to expense and under
the direct supervision of agricultural
experts.
“If the boll weevil damage is this
great at the experiment farm there
is no telling how much it is among
the average farms of Georgia," he
said.
Mr. Brown recently returned fron.
a trip over more than fifty Georgia
counties. He said everywhere he
went he found the boll weevil dam¬
age was greater this year than ever
before.
"South of Macon the cotton yield
will not be more than one-sixth of
the usual yield this year and would
he surprised if it is that much,” ho
said.
Mr. Brown was shown a letter writ¬
ten by a prominent farmer who lives
near Augusta, to The New York World
that he had 500 acres in cotton and
that on this tract of land he would
not get fifteen bales. He estimated
the total yield in the cotton belt at
less than 4,500,000 bales. Mr. Brown
said Mr, McKee’s story was much the
same as he has heard all over Geor¬
gia.
Berry School Turns Away Pupils
Rome.—The registration of pupils
for the Berry school for the approach¬
ing school year began recently and
was intended to continue but three
hundred pupils were enrolled, the full

stitution.

150 Victory Medals Issued Georgians
Atlanta.—One hundred and fifty Vic¬
tory medals were issued to Georgians
in August by the local recruiting sta¬
tion of the marines in the Austell
building, according to Captain Peter
C. Geyer, Jr., officer in charge. "We
still have a large supply of Victory
medals on hand for ex-marines in the
south," stated Captain Geyer, "and I
will be glad to furnish medals to for¬
mer devil dogs,’’ who will mail me
their discharges, upon receipt of
which, l will • immediately send the
medal.” Fred M. Braden, a, former
marine, now residing in Atlanta, re
ceived the largest number of stars and
battle clasps issued to Georgians dat¬
ing August. He was in every battle
in which the marines participated in
France, and returned to his home
without a scratch.

W. & A. RENTAL BIDS
SENT TO GOVERNOR
It Is Practically Certain That Se¬
curities Will Be Sold Without
Trouble
Atlanta. — Governor Thomas W.
Hardwick announced recently that he
has received several bids for the pur¬
chase of deferred warrants based on
the rentals of the state-owned West¬
ern and Atlantic railroad and will be¬
gin consideration of the proposals
soon. The governor advertised for
bids on the securities several weeks
ago. The time for submitting bids ex¬
pires at noon Thursday.
"In seeking these bids it was my
desire to ascertain from Georgia bank¬
ers and financiers what they believed
the denominations should be and
what the terms of the securities
should be relative to the date of ma¬
turity. I also desired to give all bank¬
ing institutions, both in and out of
the state, a chance to bid on the se¬
curities so’ that I would have freedom
of action in disposing of them at the
proper time,’’ the governor declared.
It was learned at the Capitol re¬
cently that it is practically certain
that the securities will be sold with¬
out undue trouble. Among the bidders
are several banking houses which
would be able to take the entire issue
if they so desired.
Provision for the sale of the de¬
ferred warrants was made in a bill
passed by the legislature at its re¬
cent session. The bill passed both
houses by substantial majorities.
Secretary of State S. G. McLendon,
who first suggested the plan for sell¬
ing the deferred warrants to obtain
money to meet pressing state obliga¬
tions, has announced that the securi¬
ties will not be subject to state ad
valorem taxes or federal income taxes.

members of grand jury had contribut¬
ed to funds for the prosecution and
defense and other were blood rela¬
tions to parties on either side of the
controversy. The outcome of this in¬
vestigation. is being watched with
keen interest hero, and each step is

is local counsel for the strikers and D.
E. Griffin Is special prosecuting coun¬
sel for the citizens’ defense commit¬
tee.

allegation that April 5 of this year a
Central locomotive set fire to a quan¬
tity of inflammable weeds and rub¬
bish on the railway right of way, the
flames spreading to and destroying

that the railroad negligently permit¬
ted weeds to grow and inflammable
material to accumulate, and that this
negligence was the direct cause of the
fire which caused the damage.

CORPORATION TO
AID FARMERS
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES BEING
FORMED TO INVESTIGATE AP¬
PLICATIONS FOR LOANS
TO ADVANCE BILLION DOLLARS
Director Meyer Tells How Change In
Cotton Demand Has Encouraged
Entire Country
Washington,—Preparations for ad¬
vancing upwards of a bijlion dollars in
agricultural and livestock credits un¬
der recent legislation have virtually
been completed by the war finance
corporation, officials said recently. The
corporation probably will be ready
within a short time to function under
Its enlarged powers designed to afford
needed credit relief to the farmers it
was said.
To expedite the advances executive
committees are being formed in agri¬
cultural and stock raising sections of
the west and south and will attend to
preliminary details of applications,
making the necessary investigations
and determining the adequacy of se¬
curities offered. Ten or fifteen such
committees are being formed now and
others will be added as the amount of
business in the different localities war¬
rants.
The corporation's policy for finan¬
cing advances, officials asserted, has
not yet been definitely decided, but it
is believed that little of the $400,000,
000 balance with the treasury will be
used for agricultural credits. Demands
may lie made on the treasury to make
the first loans officials declared, hut
as soon as the volume of needed cred¬
its can be gauged, it is believed the cor¬
poration will begin issuing Us own
bonds. Current operatons of the cor¬
poration in financing exports are being
carried on almost exclusively out of a
revolving fund automatically establish¬
ed by the repayments being made’on
the approximately $100,000,000 in ad¬
vances now outstanding.
Blames Prohibition For Unemployment
New Orleans, La.—Too drastic pro¬
hibition and the housing situation are
to clame for much of the unemploy¬
ment throughout the country, Congress¬
man James O’Connor, orator of the.
occasion, declared at the recent local
Labor day observance. "The prohibit¬
ion law should he modified,” said Rep¬
resentative O’Connor. "Thousands
were shut out of employment by the
passage of the Volstead Act, and its
modification would do much to im¬
prove labor conditions.” Mr. O’Connor
decried the idea that he had been
“taken for a prohibitionist” because he
had not loudly inveighed on behalf of
the saloon interests.”
Plan Investigation Of Liquor Permits
Washington.—Investigation of all out¬
standing liquor permits is to be begun
shortly and many cancellations may
follow, prohibition enforcement offi¬
cials said recently. Some time will be

mits authorizing the withdrawal and
sale of intoxicating beverages, but it
Is the intention of dry authorities to
comb out all but bona fide users of the
certificates.

caution against loss of life it may be¬
come necessary to abandon McGrath.

CAR DRIVING HARD ON FEET
Use of Accelerator Causes "Short
Circuit” of Pedal Nerves or “Motor
Foot,” It Is Said.
When car owners return from their
summer vacation many of them re¬
turn limping. A new summer epi¬
demic is at large in the ranks of vaca¬
tionists.
The new aliment has been given the
popular name of “motor foot.” In the
language of surgical chiropody it is in¬
dexed and classified under the name
of “metatarsal displacement.”
Continuous motoring is the cause
of the ailment. It is a right foot
trouble caused by the continuous strain
occasioned by long motor trips when
the driver keeps his foot in the strained
position required by the use of car
accelerator.
This position causes a displacement
of the metatarsal bones which In turn
causes them, in motor language, to
“short” the nerves of that part of the
foot. This In turn Is the answer for
the pain that accompanies the dis¬
tinction of possessing “motor foot,”
“Motor foot” not only makes walk¬
ing painful, but practically eliminates
golf, tennis or any of the other popu¬
lar forms of active recreation.
The Folly of Cheating Nature
Many people get the
Idea that they can keep
their nerves on edge and
their digestion upset year
after year, and “get away
with it.” They sleep only
half as much as they
should — and never get
properly and thoroughly
rested.
If you tire out easily,
if you are getting pale and
anemic, if your food
doesn’t digest as it should,
would it not be well to
stop and consider whether
coffee or tea is having its
effect on you?
The caffeine and thein
found in coffee and tea
are drugs, as any doctor
can tell you. Is it any
wonder that the steady use
of these drugs sometimes
causes serious damage?
