YEAR JUST CLOSED ONE

ATLANTA. Ga. Jan. 3.-FTom a
standpoint of general prosperity, his
tory will probably never record more
remarkable year than the one just
closed, so far as the South is concern
ed. in the opinion of Atlanta business
n,en and bankers.
They declare it is not overstating
the fact to say that the South is IN
better condition than ever before, and
their opinion is that the South will be
in stronger position to tide over the
business depression following the close
OF the European war than any other
section of the country.
The South, as one Atlanta banker
points out, will get high price for
everything she sells and pay low
trices for everything she buys, which
from an economic standpoint would
certainly be a most ideal situation.
The monthly report of the Federal
Reserve bank of Atlanta for the month
OF January is authority for the state
ment that bank deposits continue to
grew, that the demand for loans is
picking up right along, that collections
are unusually good for this season OF
the year and that real estate is begin

prosperity.

BiIliOaSnesS.

The word billlousness" has had
vary ing fortune in the language of
medicine. At one time it was used
to define indisposition of peculiar
character, and at another phi yslcians
rejected it because they believed
that it implied wrong cause for the
condition in question. Although
the pendulum is swinging back in
favor of judicious use OF the word,
the latest medical dictionary eau
tiously defines it as "a minor
ailment, thought to depend upon
slight disturbance of the hepatlc
functions"
Whether properly named or not,
however, the condition certainly
exists, and it is quite probable that
the liver, whether or not it is prim-
arily at fault, is often concerned in
the digestive upset. The functions
of the liver are manifold: it secretes
bile, stores up sugar, and destroys
many polsons, either derived from
without the body or formed in it,
especially some of the waste product
of digestion, which it converts into
urea. If any of these functions
become deranged, the system stuff
ers. If something interferes with the
secretion of bile or with its passage
into the intestine, the symptoms of
jaundice appear. If the liver is I'M
able to store up sugar, diabetes
results. If it cannot destroy the
poisons that are taken into the body
that are accidentally formed in it,
an iudisposition or actual illness
follows.
When we speak of a "sluggish
liver" we mean that the organ is I'M
able to dispose of all the poisonous
waste products that occur in the
system. the result is that acute form
of administration which we call a
bilious attack. The symptoms are
headache, dizziness, spots or zigzag
figures before the eyes, lrritability
and depression, indigestion, unasea
and perhaps vomiting, and often a
pasty complexion and a yellow tinge
to the whites of the eyes.
Associated with those symptoms,
or preceding them, there is consti-
patton or irregularity of the bowels.
And that is no doubt the cause OF
the whole trouble: The intestlhes
are slow in disposing of the waste
products of nutrition, and so a
larger amount of poisonous material
is carried to the liver than that organ
can easily dispose Of. Some q it
therefore enters the blood stream
and causes an attack Of biliousness.
That checks the appetite; fewer
waste products form, and thus the
body rids itself of the excess already
present. When an equilibrium is
sestored tee vbilious attack" is
cured.

GARDEN workers may we'll bear in
mind that in all the history of this
land of plenty the present crisis. is
unique. For two years and more an
increasing part of the worlds popu-
lation has been going hungry, but
the bad crops of last summer and the
injury to the wintry wheat during
the months recently past have Just
now brought home to Americans the
hard fact that food is scarce. Not all
Americans realize it yet. If they did,
every vacant lot would be under
cultivation this spring.
