EASY AND SURE WAY
TO CURE COLDS
Don't Neglect a Cold, EIy'S
Cream Balm viii Stop 1t
in the SneeZing STAGE.

A cold generally attacks the weakest
part, affecting the eyes and ears in
some and producing nasal catarrh and
throat troubles in others A cold is due
to an Inflammation of the membrane
lining the air passages, and may be
promptly cured with a little EIys
Cream Balm, which immediately re-
lieves the Inflammation and all the dis
tressing symptoms such as sneezing
coughing, running at the nose and
eyes, hoarseneSs, sore throat, fever and
headache. one reason why this pure
antiseptic Balm acts so quickly is be-
cause it is applied directly to the ten
der. sore surfaces.
Even in severe, chronic cases of ca
tarrh, Ely's Cream Balm never fails to
quickly and effectually check the pos-
onous discharge which clogs the head
and throat causing the disgusting
hawking, splitting and blowing of the
nose. This remedy not only drives GU.
the disease. but heals and strengthens
the weakened membranes, thus ending
catarrh
Catarrh is a filthy disgusting dis
ease. Don't put up with ii another
day Get a 50-cent bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm from your druggist and
see how quickly you viii be relieved.

Justi1es the Faith
Of His Friends.

Again the DeLeOn case comes to give
it the lie. When news of his disap-
pearanCe was first received the Elks of
Atlanta instituted a world wide search
for their brother. When he came back
they gave him every fraternal greeting.
When friendless and alone in the far
off Sydney hospital it was the fact that
ne was a Mason that gave DeLeon con-
slant friends instead of suspicious
strangers. 1t was the fact that he was
a Mason that enabled him to borrow
funds to hurry back to his waiting wife,
to his loving children.
It's a wonder story. and when some
cynic tells you Of the commercialism of
the age, when he tells you that man no
longer loves man, but only dollars, just
mention the name Of Noise DeLeon. He
can have no better answer.
And the most impressive part of the
story is that all this loyalty of wife,
love of children. faith of friends was
not misplaced AS their faith told
them, DeLeon has returned They are
sure he will make good. They know
he will be. as he has always been, loyal
husband, loving father, faithful friend.

MERGER DECREE
V|ND|CATESLAW,
SAY LAWYERS
Effects of Union Pacific DiSSo.
luton Far Reaching and
ForeShadoWS Decisions.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3.-The direct
effect of the United States supreme
court ordering a dissolution Of the Har-
riman merger of the Southern and
Union Pacific railroads was today de-
elared so sweeping that the advocates
of a change in the sherman antitrust
law probably would curb their activi-
ties and not press at the present time
any campaign for appointments TO the
measure. The decision was Of such
strength that those who have feared
that the law was too weak after the
Tobacco and on trust decisions are
now waverinF.
Lawyers who practice before the SUI
preme court say that the decision will
be far-reaching in its general effect on
the railroad situation. 1t foreshadows
the decree of the court in the anthra-
cite case, in which the government al
leges that the Reading railroad unlaw-
fully acquired control of the Central of
New Jersey. and that the Erie violated
the Sherman act by acquiring control
of a competing coal road running from
New York harbor TO the anthracite
fields. 1t may even extend to some of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford acquisitions.
Among the members of congress the
decision is of great interest, particu-
larly to those who have been trying to
amend further the antitrust laws. They
infer from ii that each case of alleged
Illegal combination will be held to
stand on its own bottom, and the facts
in each subject shall decide whether ii
is in restraint of competition

All His Friends
Remained Loyal.

Then comes the feature that should
make every man have greater conf
dence in his fellows A wife is natur-
ally loyal. The love Of a child is nat
urally the parents But business men
are supposed to be hard, sordid people,
who think only of money, who know no
such word as friendship, who can think
only in dollars, who are willing to
crush a man when his fortunes have
fallen
When DeLeon disappeared though
this spirit was conspicuously absent
His interests were large. His absence
made them involved. but the men whose
dollars were threatened raised no vail
They expressed their confidence in the
missing man. They only took legal steps
to protect him.
When he returned they rushed to the
front to tell him that every opportunity
would be given him to retrieve the for
tune that had been affected by his alb
sence. And they assured him of their
aid in every undertaking.
DeBeon's heart must have leaped
high when he was told that his reputa-
ton had suffered nothing from his alb
sence that his affliction had caused
only sympathy and hope that the darE
days were destined to be few.
There are those who scott at fraternaI
orders. 1t is too frequently said that
the men who take these oaths know
that they are meaningless when they
pledge themselves.

New Little Woman Who Pre-
ferS TiIIing Soil to House.
work Displays Crop.

Near the end of one Of the long ia
bles in the state capitol corridor today
there is little pyramid of white corn,
with the card marked Ralph Wadley,
F'ayette county," and everybody from
home hopes 1t may win prize. But if
il does little Ralph will never pin the
ribbon to his breast. Ralph died two
vested.
The little fellow had typhoid fever"
said G., L. Harris, demonstration from
Fayette county. But he had picked
his corn. and his last thought was of
the show.
:" BE sure and take my corn to the
boys show, Mr.. Harris he told me. and
it was almost the last thing he said.
I'm mighty proud of my corn.
Spirit of New Womanhood.
And l was careful to bring it. I'd
rather have lost the crop off a forty
acre farm than those little ears from
Ralph's one acre plot"
Further down the line is another
pyramid of corn, bearing the name OF
Nettie Rogers, of Ben Hill 1t repre-
sents the spirit of new womanhood-the
desire to compete with man on his own
ground.
Nettie Rogers is a child of we'll to do
parents, and she doesn't have to work
hard. But two years ago she joined the
Boys Cron club, preferring the open to
canning tomatoes in hot kitchen. This
year she borrowed an acre of land from
her parents. ploughed it deep, fortified
it, planted it. cultivated it all summer,
and gathered her crop.
Raises So Bushels to Acre.
She did every bit of the work her
self, from ploughing to harvesting. and
she made SO bushels of good corn on
her acre, which is much more than the
average amount raised by grown up
farmer. And besides that she raised
and sold enough vegetables in Fitzger-
aid to give her a liberal bit Of pocket
money.
Those two little sidelights show the
spirit of the boys and girls OF Georgia.
That spirit is eXemplified in the whole
show, from the stacks of corn to the
remarkable exhibits of canned goods at
the main entrance. 1t proves that the
government was right when it decided
10 let the old fashioned farmer go his
own way if he would and conferred it's
efforts on the boys and girls-the farm
ers of the future.
Even more interesting TO the city Wis
itor than the thousand tables of corn
is the exhibit of canned goods. Fayette
county has this field all to itself today,
but exhibits from all over the state
are expected by tomorrow The tables
are filled with the work Of the Girls
Canning clubs, and several of the girls
are here to tell others how their work
was done
70 Kinds of Canned Goods.

hardly more than sixteen-modestly

Of canned vegetables, preserves and
jelies on big table near the main

put up S6 dozen cans and lars this
summer. and cleared a profit OF about

Miss Leila Dixon. also of Fayette-
vile, has an exhibit TO be proud of. too
She shows AZ different kinds of pre-
serves and canned vegetables. on her

berry jam and grape jelly and musca
dimes and mulberry juice, and almost as
many varieties OF pickles as the famous

5000 Separate Exhibits.
The corn show is hardly under way
yet though cases and barrels and boxes
and bags are keeping the express COM
panies busy and working the creaking
old capitol elevator as it was never
worked before. President Hastings ana
a big force of workers are opening
boxes and arranging the exhibits. and a
dozen or two demonstrators and exhibit
tors are helping to get things in shape
There are nearly 10000 boys enrolled
in the Corn clubs OF Georgia, and there
must be at least 5000 separate exhibits
on the tables, which fill the capitops
main floor Every little pyramid Of
corn bears the name of the boy who
raised it, his yield on one acre and the
net profit he made by his work.
There was hardly a boy in the club
who did not raise a crop far above the
average yield of the ordinary farmer
The record last year was 22S bushels
on an acre, but the experts say it will
not be that high this year. The boy
who raised 175 bushels has an excel
lent chance to win.
U. S, Demonstrators Aid Boys.
The Corn club work is under the di-
rect supervision of the government,
which began it in Georgia five years
ago. Demonstrators have been placed
in seventy counties since then, and
boys encouraged to set aside one-acre
plots on their fathers farms and COM
pete for prizes
The demonstrators aid the boys by
information and advice, pay frequent
visits to the farms, and encourage the
youngsters to learn advanced methods
The demonstrators believe the next
generation of Georgia farmers will
know what real farming is. C. l.. Har-
ris, of Fayette county, the first dem
oEstrator appointed, is still busy at
work, and was one of the first arrivals
at the capitol
