Georgia’s Inherent
Vigor
Atlanta Journal.
Georgia’s leadership of the bontb
east in individual income tax re
turns and be relatively high Blend
ing in the country, aa a whole, bear
witness to the inherent vigor of her
economic life.
According ‘o official figures giv
en out by Hon. J. 'l'. Rohk, coll.c
tor of internal revenue, aeven-one
thousand, three hundred and forty
one persons iu this stalei made
federal tax returns iu 1924, th • last
year for which complete report)
are available, on inc >mes earn d
in 1923
This number is above three thous
and better than North Carolina’)-
record, more than twenty thousand
iu excess of Alabama’s and nearly
twenty-two thousand ahead ol
Florida’s.
In total income tax returns Geor
gia, reporting two hundred and
twenty-three million, seven hun
dred and twenty nine th meant
dollars, is a nose bah n 1 North
Carolina, owing to Hie latte a re
cent textile developments, but it
far in advance of Florida and hei
other prosperous neighbors. In the
entire Unior, including the great
industiral and financial centers of
the North, the East and tbb Mid
die West, only twenty three states
pissed ours iu the number < f fed
eral income tax returns, and oul)
twenty-seven io the aggregate of
taxes paid.
Thia standing is the more aignif
ioant when we note that 1923 was
a lean year for Georgia
The boll weevil Lad left a trail
of destruction, equaled only by
Sherman’s march to the sea.
An exodus of field labor bad
crippled thousands of farms, and
had forced the abandonm?nt of
not a few.
Credit was strained, money was
anything but easy, and investors
were hesitant. Yet, in that diffi
cult year, more than seventy-one
thousand Georgians earnea in
comes of sufficient amount to call
for federal tax returns, these reach
ing a total of nearly two humin d
and twenty-four million dollars.
Only a commonwealth that is
fundamentally sound and exceed
ingly lioh iu basic resources, could
have made such a record at such
a time.

Coughs Always
Dangerous—Quick
Way to Stop Them
Chronic coughs and chest colds often
lead to more serious trouble. Not only
is the infection itself dangerous, but
the continual coughing spells day and night
so weaken your entire system that you can no
longer fight off disease.
So stop a cough the quickest you can. To do
this there is nothing better than that old-time
tried and proved remedy—Dr. Bell s Pine-Tar
Honey. Doctoxs say there is nothing like pine- |
tar extract to quickly loosen and remove the
phlegm and congestion which are the direct
eauae of the cough, while the honey both gives
a pleasant taste and helps soothe irritation.
The quick relief to the stubbornest cough often
seems almost magical.
But be sure you get the genuine Dr. Bell s
Pine-Tar Honey, and no substitute. Dr. Bell’s
is the original pine-tar honey and has been
1 known for over a quarter of a century as the
i beat. It is scientifically compounded of just the
1 right proportions of pine-tar, honey and other
quick-acting, healing ingredients which the
best doctors have found to aid in quick relief.
Contains no opiates or other harmful drugs,
so can be given even to young children —fine
for spasmodic croup. If you want the best, a
medicine that often relieves the severest cough
overnight, make sure you get Dr. Bell s. Only
30c at any good druggists.

The extra quality built in by the extra process of Gum-Dipping,
the economy of these wonderful tires and the added mileage
obtained irom them during the past two years, has created such
a large demand that over 75% of Firestone’s mammoth produc
tion is now Balloon Gum-Dipped Cords.
This has greatly increased the total sales volume and the huge
Firestone factories are now working on a 24-hour schedule to
supply the demand.
This large volume, produced under the most economical tire
manufacturing n thods, permits Firestone to sell these extra
process Full-Size Balloons at no extr cost to car owners. And this
in the face of gr rtly advanced cost for rubber brought
about by the operation of the British Rubber Restriction Act.
