TALK ABOUT FEET
Troublesome Skin Affection Put to
Rout by Pcslam.


Rout by Pcslam.
A recent exchange of experiences
between 10 persons developed the
fact that nine of them were suffer-
ing from foot trouble which caused
continual annoyance and serious
concern. According to those who
know, the best thing TO do when
the feet are tired, inflamed, itching,
chafed or broken out is to apply a
little poslam and note how quickly
the difficulty will vanish
POSlam is the new skin remedy
which so rapidly combats the worst
cases of eczema and all skin trou-
bles, stopping all itching with the
first application. 1t makes quick
work of acne, herpes, letter, scaly
scalp, BARRIERS and every other form
of itch. Occasional applications in
small quantities will quickly Danish
pimples, hives. blackheads, blotches,
etc. A special SOC package of pos
lam is prepared for those who use
pOslam for minor skin troubles. and
this, as we'll as the regular 50 jar. is
on sale at Murgittroyd's and Rit-
ter's, as well as all drug stores.
But no one is even asked to pur-
chase poslam without first obtain

GEORGIA RAILROAD OFFICIALS
CONCERNING WITH FlREMEN

Atlanta, Just how far negotiations
between Vice President Kelly of the
railway fremen, and General Mana
ger Scott of the Georgia railroad have
gone regarding a new contract for
wages for the enginemen and fremen
is not yet known. The officials are
holding conferences and it is believed
that a satisfactory adjustment will
be made. The contract made with
the frcmen just year ago has ex-
pired and the officials are now trying
to reach a contract for another year.
The contract made year ago, as will
be recalled, followed the strike of
last spring. The employees are now
said to be asking for greater conces-
sions than those made under the old
contract. Firemen and enginmen are
paid per cent. of what the engin-
GERS on the machines receive. That
per cent. varies in all sections of the
country. On the Southern the fire.
men get 60 per cent. of the pay of the
engineer. The Western and Atlantic
road pays firemen So per cent. as does
the Louisville and Nashville. On the
Georgia road the percentage is much
less, ranging from SO per cent. down.

that it had complied with the post

enabled it to construct it's lines and
do business in all the states of the

state franchise, and that therefore
any franchise conferred by the state
