Every man TO his trade" Is on
old adage and Is familiar to nearly
all or us. It Is brief in it's wording
but conveys n great deal in It's mean
Ing. 1t is merely terse way OF
saying that a man who makes a spe-
cialty OF any one thing knows more
about, and Is more proficient In his
particular specially than any one
else could be. II Is for this reason
that we all seek a specialist when
we have any serious physical all
ment. 1t Is for the same reason that
The Rydale Remedy Co. went to one
or the best specialists In the United
States on liver and intestinal trou-
bles, professor in a Columbus, O,
Medical College, and secured from
him prescription from which Ry-
dale's Liver Tablets are made.
This specialist knew more about liv-
er troubles than doctor who treats
all diseases, and that is why Ry-
dale's Liver Tablets relieve and cure
more quickly all liver troubles than
the ordinary liver pills and pow
ders.

The Southern Commercial Con-

of business mems participation in

In this connection they cite a recent
report by the Geological Survey which

utilized for power. So far hardly
enough has been developed to make

with the enormous possibilities. Full
development of storage facilities in
these river basins would increase the

minimum of 400, 900 horsepower, its

would amount TO an annual return

National Conservation Com
mission Will Hold First
Meeting In Washington
In December, and One
Thousand Southern Bust

Attend.
Special TO The Journal.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The National
Conservation Commission has received
word that at least a thousand OF tle
leading business men OF the South
will be present in Washington when
the Commission holds its first full
meeting here early in December. This
information comes In letter from q.
Grosvenor Dawes, Secretary of the
Montgomery, Ala, Commercial Club.
VINO tells OF a meeting of the repre-
sentatives OF numerous business as
sociatlons In the Southern States, held
IN Atlanta These men formed a work
ing arganization, and, after receiving
assurances or support from CONNER
cial bodies all through the South is
sued call for a Southern CONNER
cial Congress-. The time and place
were set so that the members can be
I'm Washington during the first meet
ing OF the Conservation Commission
on December i, the Conference be-
tween the Commission and the Cover
nors OF the States or their representa-
tives which follows, ON December 8,
and the meeting of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress which will be
held here during that time, in the
proceedings of all of which the men
who VIII compose the Southern Com
mercIaf Congress are intensely inter-
ested from business standpoint.
The chief purpose OF the Southerners
in holding their big meeting is, in
the words of ono of the originators,
tine provoking of fuller understand
ing by the people OF the South of
the gifts that nature has placed
under their control" But with
out discounting the vital impor-
lance of promoting the business
interests of their section of the
country, the promoters of this Con-
eress in Washington say they hope
that Il will have an even deeper sig
nificance and bring about closer I'M
ion between the North and South.
"Of course the Congress has practical
and commercial aspects" Says one of
these men, ''but there lies in the
minds of the originators an ethical
purpose looking towards fuller I'M
derstanding and union between those
who have for a generation suffered
from Misunderstanding and a seem
ing separation of interests.
Mr.. Dawes in his letter suggests
that the attainment of fuller under
standing between the South and otler
parts of the country would have its
eject in bettering business conditions
