Cure Tor Deafness

Stand in a natural position with
breast well to the front, open the
mouth slightly, suck in all the
air the lungs will hold, close the
mouth firmly, pinch the end Of the
nose tightly with thumb and fing-
ers, force the air through the air
passages of the head until the air is
felt coming through the ears. Do
this at least ten or twelve times a
day. 1t will be soon found that
the hearing is getting better, and
in less than month it will be good
unless the ear drum is dead.

ALL SOUTH GEORGIA IS NOW
ENTHUSED OVER DRAINAGE

The recent convention of the Southern
Drainage Congress at Brunswick has
aroused deal of enthusiasm for the
big project on which the organization
has conferred its activity for the pres
ent, and all over southeast Georgia there
is feeling that something will be done
towards retaining the immense amount
of waste lands that now consist prin-
cipally of swamps and marshes.
The attendance at the Brunswick con-
ventfon was unusually large, and great
interest was shown in the question OF
drainage by all present. 1t was recog-
nized that this movement is essential to
the cultivation of the soil in the level
lands of south Georgia and is closely al
lied to the development work now go
ing on in the state.
1t was most gratifying to note the
spirit of progress manifested by those
present. The back to the soil" move
ment is taking a great hold in Georgia
Many of the speakers laid stress upon
the drainage and otherwise proper Gull
tivation of the lands of south Georgia
with a view to present to the home seek
err and investor the most fertile soil
throughout our country in such a way
as to thoroughly convince him of the
wonderful possibilities of the section.
The proposed drainage bill which the
congress by resolution decided to pre-
sent to the next Legislature is somewhat
along the lines of the bill prepared by
the senator. L. r. Akin. of Glynn- Some
changes nave been made and the bill
was presented by Judge ]. L. Sweat,

no poor man can pay the expenses OF a
primary election In Georgia, it goes with
out saying that thu face is confined to men
who have money or the candidates be-
long to men who use their money 10
elect them, and who expect to use them
in the halls of legislation. Mr.. Barrett
of the Farmers union has sounded the
note of warning to congressman who are
dereIict on this line. 1t is fact not
susceptible of proof perhaps, but never
theless, a fact, that politics even IN
Georgia was dominated for quarter OF q
century by prominent men who held
leases on the revenues of the state
through their watchful care that no man
should go to the Georgia legislature I'M
less they were satisfied as to the candi-
dates willingness to prevent any inter-
ruption of their profits.
Congress is full of such obedient men
who do the bidding of their masters.
Some of these men have been uprooted
by popular disgust and the expiration OF
congress today marks the outgo OF po-
lfticaI tricksters who have held position
for a quarter of century. The new ones
may be equally as Objectionable but
the very idea of a change Is gratifying.

The 4th of March every two years,
marks the time limit of each congress,
and new one begins at u o'clock noon.
The pay stops when the clock strikes II
and the new men or the reelected ones
begin to draw their salaries at that
time The senate is a continuous body
it adjourns sine die when the house of
representatives dies by limitation, but
a senator's term is for six years instead
of two, and when a senator's term ex-
pires or he is defeated at home, 1T
nearly kills him, the shock is so great
and the loss so heavy to be borne.
Each congressman and senator gets a
salary of $500 and hire for one clerk
namely, $1,000 and the most of them put
that in their pockets and allow some
So 1t makes a big gap in the family
finances when the pay stops. as it does

The expiration of the present congress
has retired a great many Republicans
of both house and senate There was a
general landslide last year and general

These northern and western costituents
who rebelled against the politicians are
not Democrats. I presume they will al
ways be what they are now-Republicans
In sentiment or behef-but they intended
to rebuke the domination of their former
politicians when they were so vitality
interested in better or more reasonable
legislation and failed to get it. II the
Democrats hold on to the promises made
in the last years campaign, they will
be again approved. but If the Demo-
Gratis begin to kowtow to the interests"
as the great syndicate corruptionists are
termed in polite parlanee, then these dis
satisfied voters will find what they are
seeking elsewhere.

people of this country well-grounded
belief that their congressman are not

or in their conduct I'M Washington city.
They pose at home as the obliging SER
