70 De A NORMAL
CROP OF PEACHES

Reports from all over the peach belt
Indicate that there will be a normal
crop of peaches this year. Growers
and experts are of the opinion that
the crop will be about the same as
last year Some varieties suffered
more than others, the Bellies, perhaps,
being affected more than any other
kind. That the crop will not be ser
iously curtaied will be good news to
the lovers of Georgia's most delicious
fruit.

WANTsEMBlRGO ON
GASOLINE EXPORTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81,
Representative William Schley How
ard is framing a measure for introduc-
ton in the house to place an embargo
OH gasoline shipments from this cOun-
try to foreign ports with view to
curbing what he believes to be an IN
justifiable advance in prices Of Pc
troleum products. Mr.. Howard stated
that he would have the cooperation OF
Senator Hoke Smith in this move
ment.
Forbidden by the constitution from
laying any tax or duty on the export
CT gasoline, he will ask congress TO
seek to curb the refinery by forbid
ding absolutely any of their products
leaving American shores, until prices
reach a level, which the president in
his judgment, believes justifiable.
Among the explanations given for
the rising trend of prices, is that pro-
duction has decreased in the last nine
months, while the use of oil in this
country as fuel and the refined product
in gasoline engines, have increased
as well as expectation abroad.
These are said to be sound economic
reasons for the advance and justify the
present prices under the natural law
Of supply and demand.
Mr.. Howard says he is prepared to
show that there has been no decrease
in production and that the falling off
in yield of the Cushing oil pool has
been more than overcome by new drill
ings.
Neither has there been such an in.
creased expectation as would cause a
shortage in this country, which would
justify an advance in rates, he says.
Yet prices are to be advanced another
three cents a gallon tomorrow.
In conference with Secretary Of
Commerce Redfield today, Mr.. Howard
learned that the department had been
unable to make contract for the gov
ernment's requirements of gasoline fo-
the year beginning July l at less than
40 cents a gallon.
The attention of Mr., Howard has
been directed to this matter by ap-
peals by letter from Georgia friends,
as well as editorials in the Atlanta
Constitution and others papers publish
ed in that state.
Commissioner Harris, who is direct
ing the investigation ordered by the
federal trade commission into the
causes of present prices, estimates that
the result of his inquiry can be given
to the country Within the next month,
or by April Goth.

ZACHRY SAYS WIFE
NOW WHISTLES AND
SINGS ALL THE TINE
"SHE'E AS BRIGHT AND HAPPY AS
A 16-YER-0LD- GIRL" SAYS
DAIRY FARMER

my wife goes about the house now
singin and whistling all the time, and
no wonder she is so happy, for on just
three bottles of Tanlac she has gained
eighteen QS) pounds and she is like
a different woman altogether" said J.
b. Zachry, the we'll known dairyman
Of Swords, Ca, in conversation with
the Tanlac representative at Jacobs
Pharmacy, Atlanta, last Saturday.
I'm here to get a bottle to take
myself" he continued, for it's helped
her so much am sure it will be fine
spring tonic for me to take.
my wife suffered with indigestion
and stomach trouble for a long tims
and was in general rundown condi-
ton. She reached the point where she
couldn't hardly sleep at all and her ap-
petite went down to almost nothing.
She couldn't take interest i'll anything,
was very weak and nervous and seem.
ed respondent all the time. She lost
a sood deal in weight and her strength
was all getting away from her.
This is the very shape she was in
when she began taking Tanlac. She
has now taken three bottles of the
medicine and the indigestion has been
relieved entirely. She hasn't pain
about her and feels fine in every way.
She has been gaining weight AMI
strength ever since she took her first
few doses, and weighs eighteen 18)
pounds more today than she did the day
she began taking Tanlac. She has the
biggest kind of an appetite and eats
meats, hot biscuits and anything else
she wants and everything agrees with
her perfectly. She is no longer ner
vous nor dizzy and sleeps like a baby.
She goes about her homework as hap
py as a sixteen-year-old girl and
smiles all the time -.
y have one hundred cows to look af-
ter and my wife is helping me more
with my work than she ever has in
her life. Tanlac just seems to have
filled her with new life, strength and
energy, and you don't know how hap
py We are over her recovery. It's
Just marvellous the way it has acted
with her, and if anybody wants to
know what we think of Tanlac, they
can just see or write me-"
Speaking of Tanlac and the work it
is doing, Mr.. G. F. Willis, Southern
distributor of Tanlac, said:
There is no season of the year when
Tahiac can be taken to better advan-
, tage than right now. In the spring
lime al mankind, after weathering the
storms of winter, is in need of an up
building tonic. There is nothing more
nv gorating to rundown system than
! Tanlac. 1t will prove invaluable to
Iersons who are suffering from indi-
gestion, la grippe, catarrhal or bron-
chial troubles. At this particular sea
son my suggestion is that persons so
affected should take the full course Of
six bottles of the medicine"
/ Tanlac is sold exclusively in Ameri-
cas- by Aliens Drug & Seed Store; in
Leslie by Leslie Drug Co.; in Plains,
Ca, by Plains Pharmacy; in Sumter,

IS CALLED PETRoMORTIs.
New Motoring Disease Described by
an Illinois Physician.

Sudden attacks of dizziness and head
aches, suffered on rainy days in streets
crowded with motor cars, are a mild
form of petromortis, the new motoring
disease. according to DR.. George L. APP
felbach, a member of the staff of State
Factory Inspector Nelson of Illinois.
DR.. Apfelbach has just prepared a
study of the poisonous effects of the
exhaust gas from gasoline cars. which
will appear in the forthcoming report
of the factory inspector. His ex-
periments have led to the conclusion
that petromortis is principally due to
carbon monoxide gas.
The exhaust gas is rapidly dinused
on the street or in the ouen," DR..
Apfelbach says in his report. "Never1
theless, we occasionally hear cases of
mild nausea and headache having oc-
Cured in the crowded downtown dis
tricts in the large cities on rainy days.
The condition, however, becomes quite
serious if the motor is allowed to run
in a closed garage.
Investigation was made by inter.
viewing chauffeurs of five taxicab
companies in Chicago and by obtaining
information first hand from physician
who spends one hour every day in the
main garage of such a concern. The
medical man stated that he frequently
hears that mechanics and chauffeurs
complain of vertigo. headache and
nausea especially in the winter months
and on rainy days"

RALPH H. UPSON HONORED.
Will Observe Military Aeronautics
for Ohio National Guard.

Ralph H. Epson, aeronautic expert OF
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany. Akron. Ohio. and ballonist of in
ternational reputation. has been desig-
mated as special observer of military
aeronautics in the European conflict,
officially to represent the Ohio National
Guard.
AS the head of Goodyear's aeronautic
department he has acquired much
scientific knowledge of practical aero
nautics. His ballooning in Europe,
where he won the James Gordon Ben
nett international cup race in 1918
with the balloon Goodyear" brought
him into close touch with the prom
inent aeronautic engineers there and
gave him familiarity with the field in
which his observations will be made.
Although young man he is regarded
as an authority on aeronautics, and
several months ago was selected as a
member of the special committee to
cooperate with the Edison naval ad-
visory board in it's consideration of the
application of aircraft to warfare. Dur
ing the past year he has broken in
a number of government men, placed
under his instruction, introducing them
to the art of ballooning. In these
flights the famous balloon GOODYEAR.
which won the world championship
two years ago, was used.
