 And it is a good one, too. Whfles1t Is not, as some would have us believe, a panacea for all ills, here are a few that it can remedy:
 1. It will reduce your waist.

 3. It will strengthen the muscles in your legs and even in your feet.
 4. It will make you supple.
 5. It will give you muscular con- trol to a great extent. 6. It will aid your digestion. Sounds far-fetched, but true just the same.)

HIxON BILL WILL GO OVER
Prohibition Measure to Apply Webb
Law in Georgia Will Not Come
Up in House This Session.

ATLANTA. - The HiXon-Searey
bill, intended to put the provisions OF
the national Webb law into force in
Georgia, which recently passed the
senate, will not be acted on by the
house at this session of the legisla-
ture. It was decided by the house
committee on temperance to refer the
bill to a subcommitte with instruc-
lions to report at the next session
The reference was made because Rep
resentative Ennis of Baldwin and
others were not satisfied as to the
legality of the bill and as test OF
the Webb law will be made in the
supreme court of the United States
next winter it was thought advisable
to await the decision of the court.
This is the bill upon which the pro-
hibition forces in both the house and
senate had concentrated their efforts
and as it is now to go over until next
wear it is practically certain there Will
be no prohibition legislation at all
at this session.
This bill provided that no spiritu-
GUS liquors should be shipped into
Georgia for illegal purposes and
where the shipment was in excess OF
three gallons the burden was put up
on the carrier to show its legality.

FEAR LOSS OF S4OO,OOO,OOO
THE NEW ORLEANS COTTON En-
CHANGE ISSUES STATEMENT.
Says CIarke's Tariff Bill Rider
Would Cost the Cotton Growers
Fifty Cents a Bale.

NEW ORLEANS.-Declaring that
if the Clarke rider" to the proposed
tariff bill becomes a law the effect of
changed conditions because of the abb
sence of hedging may cost on the
coming crop anywhere from $780,
100000 to $500, 100000 or possibly
$400,000,000," the New Orleans cot
ton exchange today issued an official
statement protesting against the
Clarke rider" which provides tax
of one-tenth of l per cent per pound
on cotton futures, or an average of so
cents per bale. This statement is
signed by w. P. Stewart, vice and
acting president, and H. G. Hester,
secretary.
I'm order to correct any misunder-
standing" says the statement, this
exchange asserts positively that the
cotton future contract business and
the system of hedging through flu
ture contracts, which have saved
many hundred millions Of dollars in
the marketing of the South's cotton
crop, will be completely destroyed if
the Clarke rider to the tariff bill be-
comes a law"
The statement adds that competi-
ton will be lessened because under
the rider buyers will be forced to re-
quire heavy margin between buying
and selling prices and the necessity
for increased capital and credit will
drive out nearly all the small buy
ers and consequent competition"
1t is also pointed out that this
tax of so cents per bale will be paid
by the producer because the buyer
will see to it that the tax comes out
of the price he pays to the farmer,
thus making him bear the burden.
1t is also pointed out that nineA
tenths of the crop is moved through
the means of hedging agreements,
and that every sale of spot cotton on
any terms will be affected by the
tax.
