You Win if You Lose.

You have heard the old joke,
dear reader, about law suits you
lose if you win" because when
you have paid your lawyer and
count the worry and trouble you
have usually lost even when you
win the case But there is a propo-
sition just the reverse that is up to
every farmer in the county and
some outside of the county. If
you register with the First Nation
al Bank you stand a chance of
winning hundred dollar prize,
and if you fail to win the prize you
have learned something and make
something, the effort is worth
while. You win if you lose.
Register by the fifteenth of this
month they are going to give the
money away to somebody this fall

Asks Pardon OF President

Atlanta, May 9.-Attorney c. P.
Goree, of this city, will leave for
Washington, D. C. this morning to
appear before President Taft to seek
a pardon for Howell Cobb, aged 81
years, who is serving a life term in
the federal prison here for the muir
der of a negro in Muscogee, Indiana.
Cobb has served IS years. 1t was
proven, says Mr.. Goree, at the time
of the trial, that Cobb committed
the murder while under the in
fence of cocaine, and believing that
the negro was trying to murder him.
1t will be set forth that Cobb has
long since been cured of his cocaine
habit, and is an honest man, who
would, if freed or paroled, make an
excellent citizen.

tuberculosis Movement
Increased 700 Per Cent
New Directory Shows 1900
Agencies Engaged In Com
sumption Fight

From statistics published to-day
in the new tuberculosis Directory
of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuber-'
culosis, it is ascertained that over
900 cities and towns of the United
States, besides about 100 in Canada
are engaged in the war against con-
sumption, and that on April there
were nearly 1900 different agencies
at work in the crusade, an increase
of nearly 700 per cent in the last
seven years
The new Directory lists 421 tuber-
culosis sanatoria, hospitals, and day
camps; 511 associations and com
mitteess for the prevention Of tuber-
cuIosis; 342 special dispensarieS; 68
open air schools; SO hospitals for
the insane and penal institutions
making special provision for their
tuberculosis inmates; besides giving
an account of the anti-tuberculOsis
legislation in every state and in
about $50 cities. The Directory.
which is the third of its kind that
has ever been published in this
country, gives the most complete
survey of the anti-tuberculOSlS
movement that can be secured, and
shows the remarkable growth of this
campaign in the last seven years.
The first Directory in 1904 showed
only 1873 organizations and institu-
tons in the entire United States.
The second Directory in 1908 re-
ported $40 different agencies, as
compared with 1440 in the new
book. Taking these figures as a
basis, the anti-tuberculosis move
ment has increased in force since
1904, nearly 700 per cent, and since
1908, over los per cent.
The new Directory is sold by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. 105

Asks SOC Per Day

Atlanta, May 9-Sweeping i'm
provements and reforms in the
state insane asylum at Millidge-
vile will be recommended to the
state legislature by the board of
trustees Of that institution this
summer.
Two things, it is declared, are alb
solutely necessary, if Georgia is to
rank with other enlightened and
progressive common wealths in
handling her unfortunate mentally
defective classes. First it is said
there is the need of a building in
which cases of so-called recent
and acute insanity may be treated
apart from chronic patients. The
other need is the establishment of
an institution where the feeble
minded may be trained and where
epileptics may be cared for
Last year 3,347 patients were
treated at the asylum, showing an
increase of 147 over the proceed
ing year. But during the past
twelve months 1902 patients were
treated.
The total cost of conducting this
work was $45O,388. which included
$4,000 spent in erecting etuberculo-
sis pavillionS. So the cost per day
of each patient is less than SO
cents. The board of trustees will
urge the legislature to allow at
least so cents per day for each
patient. The medical department
of the sanitarium, it is stated is
painfully handicapped by a lack of
funds and equipments.

Gigantic Express Monopoly
Will Be Investigated
Interstate Commerce Commission
To Make Country Wide
Inquiry

Washington, May 6.-The enor-
nous profits of the express compa-
MES are at last to be exposed to
public view. Under the spur OF
protests of merchants associations
and commercial bodies all over the
country, who have long been COM
planning of extortionate charges for
express transportation, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission has
decided to get at the facts. Plans
are nearly completed for an ex-
haustive investigation. Definite
announcement may be expected in
a few days.
Petitions have reached the COM
mission from 1875 cities. Among
the complaints are the Merchants
Association of New York, the Cham
bers of Commerce of Chicago, Phila-
delphia, Boston, Minneapolis, Detroit
Denver and St. Louis and Boards OF
Trade in other important cities. 1t
will be necessary to carry on the
inquiry in different cities at the same
time The Commissioners will allot
territory for themselves and prob
ably will also appoint experts to
conduct hearings in various sections
Official opinion is that if the subject
is thoroughly probed, as is the in
tention, the exposure will be the
most startling ever laid before the
public.

RAILROADS INVOLVED.

Preliminary work already done
discloses not only an Express Trust
which subjects shippers to monopoly
charges, but also an intermingling
of express and railroad ownership
which amounts to a merger of in
terests. Whatever the official iG1Ger-
dict as to railroad rates, the bene-
fciaries of this monopoly are
believed to have developed this
means of averaging profits so that
their net returns would be but little
affected.
In working out this combination,
according to the information in hand,
the express companies have had the
services of master minds in railroad
and industrial manipulation. The
names of Hartmann the Vanderbilts,
the Goulds, j. P. Morgan, the Stand
ard Oil magnates, George F. Baker
and the First National Bank follow
ing and men affiliated with the big
trust movements figure in the ex-
press deals.
Railroad companies are among
the largest holders of express
stocks and express companies are
so strongly represented in railroad
properties the two interests are in
the closest possible alliance. How
ever high the railroads raise their
rates to the express companies the
profits of the enterprises. nominally
separate, 90 to the same pockets.
In the petitions that have reach
ed the commission charges uniform
ly accuse the express companies of
maintaining an ironclad monopoly
with unjust and unreasonable rates.
The commission is asked to make
them just and reasonable. Some
of the petitions 90 further and de-
mand that the railroad that are
allied to the express companies
meaning all of them engaged in
transporting express business
shall also be investigated as to this
relation. 1t is charged that these
railroad companies are responsible
for exorbitant express rates and
that they so operate with the ex-
press companies as to exact from
the public unduly high and ever
increasing tolls.

throat ills; catarrh; hay fever;
wry-neck; neuralgia of the head,
neck and arms; partial paralysis
in arms or hands; all of these and
many other ailments may be
caused very directly by misad-
justments of the neck vertebrae.
Chronic headache is due to them
almost invariably. In any of these
troubles there may be accessory
or cooperating causes; but the
point is that these secondary
causes would be in themselves in
sufficient to create the trouble.
The vertebrael misadjustments,
interfering with blood circulation
and nerve distribution, bring about
the original predisposition to any
given one of these ailments-so
that any slight irritative circum-
stance, such as exposure to cold
or continued use of one set OF
muscles, can bring the disease in
to full being, When the predis-
posing cause is removed, by prop
er Osteopathic adjustment, there
is little chance for the disease to
continue; and as matter of fact
it usually disappears.

AS TO MEDICAL RECOGNITION.
@. Do medical men recognize
in any way the truth of Osteopa-
thic teachings?
A. At least not in the schools.
I may say, however, that the best
medical men are prescribing fewer
and fewer drugs year by year-as
you are all doubtless aware; and
it is notable, moreover, that writer's
in the medical journals are now
beginning to call attention to the
importance of those very physical
abnormalities which every Osteo-
path is taught to recognize and
correct. These abnormalties are
naturally not called Osteopathic
lesions\by the medical writer's in
question; but that is what they
are nevertheless, and at least their
influence in creating disease is
very fully recognized.
@. Can you refer to any of these
articles ia which medical mon
discuss what are really Osteo-
pathic LESSONS?
A. Yes. / have read several
such articles recently. For in
stance, in the journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association, issue oi
June 5, 1909, DR.. F. M. Sherman,
of Massachusetts, wrote about
"Cervical Dislocations." He wrote
OF them as of something entirely
new, told OF five cases in which ne
had found slight "subluxations'
of vertebrae in the neck, and
raised the very interesting ques.
! ton Of whether "these disease
causing factors are not very COM
monty overlooked by medica
practitioners" Such is without
doubt the case. Physicians o.
schools other than the Osteopathit
do not look for these misadjust.
ments, seldom chance to find them
do not at all appreciate their i'm
Iportance If they do happen to lo-
cate them, and have developed nc
method of making the necessary
re.adjustments. Osteopaths, on
! the other hand, are curing many
people constantly simply by rec
ognizing these misadjustments and
making proper correction Of them
for "lesions" Of the cervica
(neck) yertebrae are the originat-
ing causes of many and various
complaints.

Mr.. La Follette's Charges.

What does the Washington gov
ernment think the American peo-
pie area lot of children? Through
Mai. Gen. Carter it has declared
the massing of 10000 troops
EARNED with ball cartridges) to be
''to obtain information as to eff
ficiency and fitness and to give in
struction in all branches in field
work"
Mr.. Taft ought to tell how he
came to get SO poor an opinion OF
the average Americans intelli-
geace. The repetition of this sub
terfuge certainly is not flattering
to any person of sound mind over
16 years of age. Nor does it dis
pei the growing impression that
the president was Influenced to
send the army post haste to the
border for "maneuvers."
Senator La Toilette, a we'll in
formed and responsible man, has
openly charged it in these ques-
tions in his journal:
Is it because Henry w. Taft,
brother of the president, is the
director in S. Pierson & Son, an
English corporation, the largest
single financial interest in Mexico?
Is it because j, P. Morgan y Co.,
or Kuhn Loeb & Co., or Speyer q
Co., who are the fiscal agents of
the bonds issued by the Diaz gov
ernment, are heavy holders OF se-
curities and concessions obtained
from the dictator, Diaz?
Is it because Attorney General
Wickersham was until lately di-
rector in the American Hawaiian
company, the corporation holding
contracts for the transportation OF
raw sugar from Hawaii via the
Tehuantepec railway, one of the
properties of the S. Pierson COM
pany?
Is it to be found in former law
associations between Henry w.
Taft and Attorney General Wick
ersham, which did business under
the name of Cadwallader & Co., a
firm now represented heavily in
Mexican interests?
Irrespective of any opinions
they may hold on the merits OF
either side in the Mexican uprising
the people of this country who are
footing the bills for the "maneu'
vers" have q right to know thu
facts with regard to these charges
They pay no attention to mere in
nuendoes, but here are accusation
from responsible source tha
ought to be cleared up Los Ange
