Leading Drug Store VIII Give Money
Back Should There Ever Be a Case
Where DOdsOn's Liver.T0ne Fails.

Dodson's Liver-Tone is a mild
vegetable liver tonic which operates
so successfully in case of constipation,
torpid liver or biliousness that it has
practically taken the place of calo-
mel-the drug which is so often dam
gerous. The Howell-Prather Phar-
macy sells Dodsons Liver-Tone and
recommends it as reliever of con-
stipaion, sour stomach, biliousness
and sluggish liver. 1t works gently,
surely. and harmlessly. If a bottle
should ever fail to give satisfaction
the Howell-Prather Pharmacy will re-
fund the price paid without question.
The price of Dodson's Liver-Tone
is so cts per bottle Be sure you
get Dodson's Liver-Tone and not some
medicine put up in imitation that is
not backed up by guarantee, and
that may contain harmful drugs.

Whether or not we shall be able t.
adopt any system of the several found
to work admirably in Europe over q
long series of years, the need for soma
system to accomplish the same pur-
pose is urgent. Hundreds Of millions
of dollars are needed to make farm
improvements and prepare for that
better farming which is absolutely
necessary to save the agriculture of
the country from falling hopelessl.,
below the country's needs.
Dairy barns are needed, silos ara

fencing is needed, machinery is need
ed, water systems are needed, soil
building is needed, drainage is need
ed, and multitude of other things
are needed, to equip the farms OF
Georgia for modern agriculture. This
money should be available to the
farmers at interest rates at least as
low as commercial rates of equal Sc
curity, and on long time, to enable the
farmer to take both interest and prir-
cipal out of the soil. Show the Am

accomplish this and they will not lie

1t may be true, as Col. w. |. Diff
fenderfer, says that the independent
American farmer would not join co
operative banking association, such ds
the commission Of which he is mem
bern studying in Europe, but that does
not alter the fact that the farmer in
this country needs cheaper money ana
longtime loans and will in some wry
try to get them. Being banker, 1t is
natural that Col. Diffenderfer should
consider our present banking facilit-
les sufficient for farmers, but that they
are not sufficient is proved by tn
great agitation now going on aboct
making them so.
In addition to the loans secured by
European farmers at to per cent or
longtime installment payments, re
says that commercial banks in Europe
loan to farmers at 7 per cent which
he says is an average OF American
rates. The doctrine of averages is A
elusive one, and serves to confuse
nearly all questions to which it is ap-
piled.
If American loans average Z DER
cent, and immense sums are loaned
at about 5 per cent, it follows that A
large body of small borrowers must
be paying much more than 7 per cent
to bring the average down to that
figure. And it is fact that they are.
Some farmers are getting money Oh
short loans as low as 7 per cent, but
many others are paying $40, II and

WHY WE MUST ACT
No One in Mexico Strong Enough to
Dominate the Situation

(F'rom the San Francisco Argonautl
Either openly or by diplomatic in
direction, the United States must take
hand in the pacification of Mexico
The reason is that there is no party
and there appears no man in Mexico
strong enough to dominate the con
fused situation. If orderly conditions
are to come, they must come through
some external source, and that the
source should be other than the Unit
ed States is unthinkable. In the end
we shall have to go about the matte"
in cold blood. The hope that there
will rise in Mexico some authority up
on a basis sufficiently legitimate to
justify its support ION moral grounds
is what famous statesman used to
call damned barren ideality."
There can be no legitimate rise 81
anybody in Mexico, because the con-
stitution prescribes a procedure i'm
practicable and impossible. Whoever
shall come to the mastery of Mexico
must travel the road blazed by Diaz.
He must rise by force of arms or by
terror of arms. In other words. he
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-08-12

must be a self-appointed and self-el,
eFated dictator. When there shall an
pear a man even of approximate
strength, whether he be Huerta, Fel,x
Diaz, or somebody else, with some
powers, right intentions toward the
country, and with a right disposition
toward US, then we shall have to sup
plement his powers with our own. By
this means and BIZ no other, may Mex~
leo be pacified, Europe satisfied, and
our own interests sustained.

THE MANIA FOR UNDRESSING
(London Times.)

Uondon Times)
What is patent to the least obser-
want nowadays is that women wear
almost nothing under their gowns, ev-
en- in the daytime. Petticoats went
some time back and were replaced b '
tights-or not replaced at all. The
stockings are of such diaphanous silk
as to embarrass the beholder who sees
even in the street, so much of them,
and they are not covered by any BIZ;
court shoes.
So much for the foundation. Over
this is worn a filmy sheath of half
transparent material, cut almost as
low by day as by night, and with such
slashings and fittings in the skirt as
may fully display the leg half way to
the knee and which show every move
ment of the limbs-almost of the mus
cles.

TWENTY INTENSIVE GIRLS

1t requires no complete figuring to
reach the conclusion that if tae
United States raises a ten billion do.
lar crop annually there must be Il
good deal OF money for those engag
ed in agriculture. Persons who are
not so occupied pay so much for er-
erything produced on the soil that the
same impression is general. When a l
observer personally looks into farm
ing he finds it is manifestly profitable
ing some cases, but not in all by amp
means.
But one fact is clear. No farmer is
getting out of an acre all that there
| is in it. The boys corn club harrow
in the truth of this statement, and the
old farmer can only mop his CORFU

dered, including this stanza:

And a prize given by the state.
Work now to win, girls,
For soon it will be too late.
The club tomato yell concluded tho
proceedings. Last year the most jul
venile member took prize at tbs
