of the State Board of Education and
resides at Bailey Ga.
Mr.. Moon is almost sure there is
no school book trust, and he is salts
fed of this from the fact that there
was SO many bidders at the last
watermelon cutting for the book
people.
Second, he says that my estimate
of how much the people are paying
for school books are too high.
Third, he says we have already
had too many cheap school books
and cheap teachers and cheap school
houses.
Let's hurriedly examine his state
ments. Remember he is employed
by the State to represent the interest
of the eight hundred thousand school
children in Georgia, and it is his
business to find out all that concerns
the best interest of the children of
Georgia, and he does not believe
there is a school book trust. The
writer has not been paid to investi-
gate this as he has, and read the
following:
Replying to your inquiry, beg to
advise you that few years since
suit was brought by the Attorney
General of this State against the
American Book Co., of New Jersey,
and the American Book Co., of New
York, alleging violations of the Tex
as antitrust statutes. A settlement
Of the litigation was made substan-
TALLY upon the following terms:
The New Jersey Company entered a
plea of guilty to the charge in the
States petition, paid a penalty of
$4,000, and had it's permit to do
business in this State forfeited The
State dismissed it's suit as to the
New York Company, whereupon said
Corporation withdrew it's permit to
DO business in this State, and has
not since transacted any business
here.
Every truly yours,
sc. NJ. CURETON,
Assistant Attorney-General of
Texas"
Will Mr.. Moon tell the people of
Georgia he did not know this?
Will he believe it if l present a
certified copy of the judgment?
1t looks like a comparison of the
bids submitted for school books
would have been the best method of
looking out for a trust [ have a
copy Of the bids, and it is almost
like one publishing house had sub
mitted them.
If the New Jersey Company was
guilty and so pleaded and they were
Jointly charged with the American
Book Company Of New York and a
settlement was made, who except
Mr.. Moon does not believe the Amer
lean Book Co. of New York paid one
half Of the fine? They were jointly
indicted. It required more than one
Company to make a trust and this
was the other Company so charged.
This reminds me of a Mr. Pulsifer of
the d. G. Heath & Co., school book
brokers' swearing positively at our
last meeting that there was no such
thing as a school book trust
AS to my estimate being too high
as to what is illegally taken from
the children Of Georgia, or if not
Illegally taken, it is taken just the
same, cuts no figure in this matter.
If he allows one dollar, he is as
guilty of neglect of duty as if he
had allowed ten thousand. 1t is the
principle and not the amount of
money which he, by his acts allows
the children of Georgia to pay these
book companies more than they
should.
Now as to the cost Of school books.

A famous physician whose success

OF stomach and intestinal diseases nave
earned Tor him an international repuUa-
ton, said in the course OF q recent lee
ture that nearly all intestinal trouDlen,
as well as many diseases or the vital
organs, were directly traceabie 10 De

IN turn was due nine times out or ten
10 excessive acidity. commonly termed
sour stomach or heartburn, which not
only irritated and infiamed the delicate
lining CT the stomach, but also set up
gastritis and stomach ulcers, IL in in
terestng TO note that he condemns the
use or patent medicines as well as or
medicai treatment for the stomach,
stating that ne and his colleagues have
secured remarkable results by the use
OF ordinary bisurated magnesia, which,
by neutralizinC the acidity OF the food
removes the source OF the trouble. He
contends that II is as foolish to treat
the stomach Itself as II would be for
man who stepped on n tack TO rub lini-
ing the tack. Remove the tack and
the foot will heal itself-neutralize the
acid and the stomach troubles will dis
aDpear. Irritating medicines and med
ical treatments are useless. so long as
the contents of the stomach remain
be no need for medicine-the infiamed
lining of the stomach will then heal
itself. Sufferers from acidity, sour
