GEORGIANS PRAISING
STRANGE new LIQUID
People Who Suffered For Years And
Who Never Expected to Get Well
Are Fast Recovering and
Whole State Is Interested

So great has been the success OF the
famous new Root Juice medicine IN
Atlanta and elsewhere that people all
over the state have become interested
and reports of remarkable experiences
are beginning to come from all direc'
tionS.
Among the latest and most remark
able cases that have been brought TO
LIGHT is that of Mrs. E. Storm, a we'll
known resident of Marietta, Ga, who
has for over six years suffered from
stomach and kidney trouble and whom
it IS said eight doctors and number OF
different medicines failed to cure. In
speaking OF her strange experience
with the ROOT Juice treatment, Mrs.
Storm said: my appetite was poor,
my food would not digest and l suffered
frightfully. Gas would form IN my
stomach and cause belching. Some.

Another remarkable case is that o
Mr.. Joseph Bradner, of Jackson, Ga.
whose signed statement saws that aftel

and he feels better than for years.

Weddlne SoIemnIty.

There is no talk, no levity, and
much crying at a Chinese marriage
ceremony. and the solemnity of fu'
neral prevails. After the exchange OF
presents the bride is dressed with
much care. A feast is spread upon a
table to which the bride is led by five
of her intimate female friends. They
are seated at the table, but no one
eats. Absolute silence prevails. Sud
denly the brides mother begins cry
ing, the maids follow, and the bride
joins in the dismal chorus. Then all
the bridesmaids leave the table and
the disconsolate mother takes a seat
beside the chair of state where the
bride sits. The bridegroom now en-
tiers with four of his best men. The
men pick up the throne on which the
bride sits. and, preceded by the bride
groom, form in procession and walk
around the room or into an adjoining
parlor, signifying that he Is carrying
her away to his own home.

Jokes about the sloYness of trains,

Atlanta railway man, ALSO tire me a
bit by their ancientness; but l heard
a new and good one not long ago.
1T seems that trains are always
slow and far between on a branch
line in Mississippi. Nobody knows
this better than the people at the
junction. except the people on the line
itself. One day the newsdealer came
to me grinning.
"a fellow from the other end of
the line just said a funny thing he
remarked. He had missed his train
and there wasn't another for two
hours. He came to my stall to buy
some reading matter to while away
the time. He asked for jokebook,
and didn't have any. Then he
poked around for a while and said:

The truth is that the public taste is

There Is a desire for the better things
which is far greater than the ability
OF the producer to give them. In the

much by reason of the demand of the

WATERY BLISTERS en- FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watecy blisters, just
a small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
"We used q number of remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got a cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap and box Of Cuticura ONT
ment. washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn OF the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.

county, alarmed about the test made

and who has already planted part OF

about one grain in twelve to fifteen

On the other hand wheat from a
