On the hasty description given by
the woman Vail made an attempt to
find the man. but was unsuccessful.
When the policeman returned to
Fifteenth street Mrs. Shallcross was

ed her to the woman's waiting room.
Just as she was about to sit down she
fell to the floor dead. Mrs. Shallcross

There should be a concerted effort ou the part of the people Of Southeastern Alaska 10 have the Hum boldv made 8 mail boat at once. The vessel is running on 8 good schedule, She makes a few ports coming North, and would be one of the most sasistac- tory mail boats on the route if she were earrvfng mail. The people of this District have 8 right to have mail on every last boat that calls at it's ports. It not as fl they were asking the gov. erpment to su5sidize a line Of steamers for their benefit. To ask for mail oD all the boa,s would be only asking that ths gOvarument provide as good . mall service ss the regular facilities make practicable.

From this disgusting mass the blood must
derive nourishment to carry to every or
gan of the body. Think of it. Is it any
wonder their complexion is bad, their
breath offensive, their bowels inactive and
their health impaired in every wayP Is it
any wonder that they can get no relief
from blood purifiers, purgatives when as
fast as the blood is cleansed it is ainted
again? Try rational treatment. Take
something to help the stomach rid itself of
this stagnant mass and to keep it from ac-
cumulating. Then see if you don't i'm.
prove. One bottle of Cooper's New Dis
covery will prove my words to you. I
have seen hundreds of just such cases and
here's one of them:
"About year ago my little son, who
is nearly four years of age, suffered an ate
tack of scarlet fever. Soon after he con-
tracted what we thought was some fofi:ss
of eczema. Sores and blotches broke out
on him and he became weak and peeYish. !"
"We tried physicians and medicines but
nothing seemed to help him until several
weeks ago we started to give him Coop
er's New Discovery and noticed an im-
provement almost Immediately. After a
few doses we noticed his appetite was
better and gradually his little face assumed
a brighter appearance. His skin is now
cleared up and want to thank you sim
cerely for what the medicine has done for
him." Mrs. Herman Hahn, 1928 Johnson

TWENTY THOUSAND TONS DEFICIT
GeOrglar farmers Use Less of The
Frdngipdnni.

According to the statement of Com
missioner Thomas G. Hudson of the
state department of agriculture, the
number of tons of fertilizer sold in
Georgia up to July shows a shortage
of l6, 447 tons over that of last year.
The total shipment of cotton meal up to
May l was also 17,193 tons less than
last year. The shortage of fertilizer
and cotton seed meal sales amounts to
34,667 tons. When figures for the en-
tire season, ending Sept. 80, are in it is
thought the shortage of fertilizer sales
will approximate 10000 tons. 1t is not
yet known what is the direct cause for
the shortagein tons of the two products.
1t is contended by fertilizer manufac-
turers that the shortage has been caused
by the failure of railroads to provide
sufficient facilities for the delivery OF
orders. On the other hand it is thought
that a decrease of acreage may be
shown in the final report.

DOLLARS ARE FEW IN TREASURY
Gov. Smith May Have TO Secure a
Small Loan.

Atlanta, Ca, July 3.-According to a
statement at the treasury department
the State treasury is in a rather de-
pleted condition, only S35, 900 remain
ing in the general fund. The expenses
of the Legislature will be about $40, 600.
Besides there are the salaries of State
officials and monthly expenses of State
institutions to be paid. The States
income at this time is very meager and
it may be found necessary for the Gov
ernor to exercise his constitutional
authority and borrow money to meet
casual deficiencies until the taxes come
n next fall.
