 A bottle can be bought of any drug -sist at fifty cents or one dollar. People usually buy the fifty cent size first, and then, having convinced themselves of it's merits, they buy the dollar size, which is more economical. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. Elderly persons of both sexes can follow these suggestions with every assurance of good results.

Don't Mind.

Don't mind. if you're feeling bad,
1t won't be long before you're glad.
Don't mind if you're feeling blue
There's something, somewhere, wait
ing !"u
To lift your shadow and your care
And heal thehaunting. dark despair.
Don't mind it if the day goes wrong
Perhaps before the night song
Will rise around you sweet and
clear
Like magic music to your ear,
And all your weary heart will feel
Responsive to its sweet appeal.
Don't mind it if you lose the
chance.
1t won't be long before you'll dance
Into the biggest luck of all;
Fight on. with the back againstlthe
wall,
And somehow to your blade will
leap
The strength to swing it far and
deep.
Don't mind it if you feel cast down
Tomorrow you may wear the
crown;
From out the shadows over you
Today, tomorrow's sun will strew
The eladdening and uplifting beams
That fill the heart with brighter
dreams.

To Help Railroads.

The Railroad Commission of the
State of Georgia. realizing the seri-
GUS financial predicament in which
the Railroads are at present, has
decided to come to the rescue of
the transportation interests to tide
them over their dilemma. The
Chairman of the Commission in a
letter to the General Counsel of the
Southern Railway states that owing
to the material decrease in the rev.
enues of carriers the Georgia Rail-
road Commission will not now nor
until the present financial situation
is relieved impose upon of the roads
subject to its jurisdiction any ex-
penditures for new stations, ware.
houses, terminal facilities, etc, ex-
cept such as are absolutely neces-
sary. If the Railroad Commissi ons
of other States follow the example
of the Georgia Commission it will
aid greatly in saving the roads
from financial ruin which is now
staring them in the face. Matters
look particularly blue for the Vari-
GUS Southwestern lines which have
been greatly hampered by expen-
sive and unreasonable legislation
and rulings of various kinds.

Hides to Be Scarcer.

We all expected that Russian
leather would be scarce with Russia
at war, but not many of US were
prepared for the statement of Mr..
John E. Wilder, president of the
National Association of Tanners,
that almost eighty per cent of the
upper feathers used in this country
is made from French hides and
calfskins'. or that the Germans are
the tanners of the world, and from
them we get the necessary aniline
colors.' Mr.. Wilder states. however,
that the supply of upper leather on
hand will probably last six months.

Secretary of Agriculture Discusses
Meat Shortage.

'dience composed of stock-raisers
from practically every state in
-ho Cn;Nn ~ re National Dairy
SHOW cUnvc,.t.on here recently,
Secretary Houston of the United
States Department of Agriculture
declared the short meat supply to
be one of the most serious prob
lens confronting American agricul-
ture Mr. Houston approved the
plan of cattle raising on large
ranches and declared that no effort
would be spared by the Federal
Government in further increasing
production from this source but
insisted that the proper solution of
this problem depended on an in
creased interest in livestock raising
by farmers and in a more syste-
matte control and eradication of
hog cholera, cattle tick and tuber-
culosis.
Figures were quoted from Gov
eminent reports, showing that the
production of meat in the United
States during the past ID years had
fallen off 3,000,000,0OO pounds and
that the population of the nation
during this time had increased
100000.

RAILROADS DENIED
NEW RATE INCREASE

Washington, d. c., Dec. 3O.--The in
terstate commerce commission today
declined to approve proposal OF the
western railroads to increase the min
imum weight of shipments OF fresh
meats, packing house products ana
other. food commodities In peddler
cars from 10000 to $4,000 pounds.
The establishment OF the higher
weight would have resulted in q ma
terial increase In transportation
charges, which, under the conditions
of such shipments, the commissions
held, would be unfair. The railroads
were ordered to cancel the regulation
increasing weight.
Proposals by railroads to discon-
tinue the practice OF stopping cars iii
transit to complete loading, or for the
partial unloading of live stock trans
ported from and to points in western
classification territory was held today
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion to be reasonable. The order

vacated, effective January 5.

London, Dec. 30.-Foreign Secretary
Grey returned to London from the
country today. His coming was fol.

of the cabinet, at which, before full
muster of his majesty's ministers,
there was discussed the protest of the
United States government concerning
the existing restrictions on American
commerce.
The note of the American govern
ment has only just reached the British
government and 1t is likely to occupy
the attention of the ministry for con-
siderable time. In the meanwhile it Is
understood that Walter H. Page, the
American ambassador, will be invited
to go over the entire question with
Foreign Secretary Grey.
The Washington communication to
the British government holds the first
place, not only in the news and editor

wherever the war and it's attendant
ramifications are discussed 1t is con-
tended everywhere that mutual good
will will bridge, this difficulty and obvi-
