No Worms in a Healthy Child
<• All children troubled with Worms have an un
healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE’S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im
prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
threw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
in nerfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle.

Report of Chattooga County
Jail Visiting Committee
To the County Commissioners,
Sheriff, and Grany Jury of Chattoo
ga county, Gentlement:—
Complying with the requirements
of law, we, the county jail visiting
committee of the state board of pub
j lie welfare, have inspected the jail of
| this county and respectfully submit
I this report of our inspection. This re-
I port contains recommendations for
improvements in our jail and its man
agement which we feel are reasonable
and necessary in order to make the
jail a safe, proper and humane place
in which to detain persons awaiting
trial to determine their guilt or in
nocence.
The changes and improvements rec
ommended can be made in most cases
without great cost to the county and
we have not recommended more ex
pensive improvements than we be
lieve the county can bear. We are not
commenting at length upon the con
ditions of our jail and its management
because we feel that the recommenda
tions made sufficiently reflect exist
ing conditions and point out what
parts of the jail and its managemen:
require change.
We wish to assure every one, eith
er directly or indirectly interested in
the jail, that our inspection was not
a cursory one. Before making the in
spection we carefully studied the very
best thought and experience in jail
construction, equipment and manage
ment in a specially prepared and care
fully adapted handbook of standards
and then we diligently measured our
■ jail by these standards of human
needs and public safety. The outstand
ing defects and shortcomings were
quite obvious and the committee be
; lieves that if the following recom
j mended improvements are put into

SOUTHEASTERN FAIR IN ATLANTA

Shows Feature $50,000 Free Amusement Program
I
rF-V’F”
•pent In Atlan. Vi Southeastern
B th U e rd ’alrt
MU" will flook next
phone. ■ week.
Atlanta, Ga., September 30. —The
Southeastern Fair will launch its 11th
season in Atlanta this Saturday, run
ning from October 8 to 9, with the
most complete exhibition of the ag
ricultural, live stock, commercial and
educational resources of Georgia it
has ever presented and with a $50,-
000 amusement program that will
eclipse anything ever attempted in
the post, it was announced today, on
the very eve of the opening, by Oscar
Mills, vice president and general man
ager of the fair.
More than $50,000 in cash premiums
and valuable scholarships have filled
the agricultural, cattle, swine, poul
try, dog, woman’s work and other
shows with the best products not only
of Georgia but of all sections of the
United States from lowa to Florida
and from New York to Arizona, the
most distant states represented in
the exhibits.
The $50,000 free amusement pro
gram will begin each morning with
Concerts by Basile’s famous Madison
Square Garden, N. Y., band and other
* ands, horse, airplane, balloon and
automobile racing each afternoon, the
effect they will go a long way toward
correcting many of these defects:
I. is recommended to the county
coi.'i’missioners that:
First—Drains be installed in the
basement, in order that the kitchen
and dining room may be maintained
in a sanitary condition.
At present there are no drains, and
the basement is frequently flooded
with water. This causes the exis
tence of an unhealthy condition ini
the jail, which must affect both the |
jailer’s family and the prisoners, (
From the standpoints of health and
convenience, then it is respectfully
recommended that this matter be
given the serious consideration of
the commissioners as soon as possi
ble.
Second—When the cell work is
next painted, it be given a coat of
light-colored paint, preferably bat
tleship gray.
A light-colored paint would add
considerably to the appearance of the
jail interior and would permit a
greater amount of light to penetrate
into the cells.
Third—Removable slips of white,
unbleached material be provided for
all mattresses.
These slips are a decided economy.
The original cost is low, and they
are necessary from the standpoint of
sanitation, since the slips may be re
moved and washed, while there is
no effective way of cleaning the
soiled mattresses.
It is recommended to the sheriff
that:
Fourth—Blankets be laundered at
least once each month while in use,
and that clean blankets be given pris
oners when newly committed.
The committee desires to commend
the sheriff for the general clean con
dition in which the jail was found at
the time of its visit. The committee
was also impressed by the good qual
ity of the food served the prisoners.,
The following wording of the law,:
Section 9, Bill 186, acts of 1919,'
typifies the purpose of the service,
we are rendering, and also the spirit
in which we made our inspection and
are submitting this report:
The duty of said committee I
shall be to visit and inspect the
jails as often as it may deem
necessary, and to encourage and
aid the local authorities in main
taining such institutions in an
efficient manner.
We, therefore, cordially invite the
county authorities to whom this re
port is addressed to permit us to dis
cuss this report with them, so that
the beneficial purposes of this serv
ice for unfortunate men and women
may become better understood, and
' that we may work together more ef
fectively for the welfare of our coun
ty in this respect.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. P. GARY, Chairman.

At Lovely Church Ceremony
A beautiful wedding of interest to
their many friends was that of Miss
Mary Major and William James Cloud
which took place at the Druid Hill
Presbyterian church, Thursday eve
ning, at 7:30 o’clock.
The church was. beautifully decor
ated with stately palms which form

immediate families of the bride and

NEW USES
FOR COTTON
-J,
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 20.—New
uses for cotton are constantly being
found but this gain for the south’s
staple product is somewhat offset by
the declining use of cotton in certain
fields notably women’s clothing, it
was pointed out by Atlanta cotton
men. There are still, however, many
instances in which textile materials
are imported for uses to which cot
ton could probably be put, it was
shown.
One of the most interesting is that
a cotton burlap be made and put on
the market and made as readily avail
able as jute burlaps. It is estimated
that approximately 850,000,000 lbs.
of jute and jute fabrics are imported
into this country each year, and of
this about 650,000,000 is in jute fab
ric.. This amount is equal to about
1,300,000 bales of cotton and would
keep 2,600,000 cotton spindles active
all the year round, it was pointed out.
It is suggested that a fabric of cot
ton take the place of jute bagging
for cotton bales, a fabric of lighter
and closer weave so that the bale
could be entirely covered and better
protected. It is also suggested that
cotton bags be used instead of jute
bags for such commodities as flour,
grain, feed, seed, sugar, fertilizer,
coffee, starch and many other things.
“There are numerous other sug
gestions but this seems quite feasi
ble.” said an Atlanta cotton man. “Is
there any good reason why we should
import a fabric to pack our cotton in,
when one just as good and perhaps
better could be made from a domes
tic product? Cannot southern cotton
compete in price and quality with im
ported fabrics for this and a variety
of other common uses? If so, why
should we continue to discriminate
against our own products?
