Start Tomorrow
and Keep 1t Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of drinking a
glass of bot water before
breakfast.

We're no here long, so let's make
our stay agreeable. Let US live well
eat well, digest well, work well, sleep
well, and look we'll; what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action OF
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
MIGRATING. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the water and phos-
1hate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough fushine
of all the inside organs.
! The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells
stomach trouble; others who have
sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get q
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
a pronounced crank on the subject OF
insideb bathing before breakfast. advt

STATEMENT CONCERNING
CONCERNING COLLECTION
OF INHERITANCE TAXES

ATLANTA, Ca, May 12.-Anent the
comment going the rounds concerning
the payment of fees to attorneys in
certain counties for their service in
collecting inheritance taxes due the
state, Attorney-General Clifford Walker
has issued the following statement:
THE people of Georgia may be as
sured that their interests in the col
lection of inheritance taxes are being
safeguarded by the state officials. The
estate of James NJ. Smith was origin
ally assessed at a valuation of 81 400
900. Governor Harris employed counsel
and succeeded in raising this assess
ment to $2,000,000, resulting in an in
crease to the state treasury of $4,000.
Investigations following this case de-
yeloped the fact that under Georgia's
pass around the hat system of collect
ing taxes, only small amount of in
heritance taxes were being paid and
the last legislature made provision for
the enforcement of their collection.
preliminary examinations have dis
closed large estates In practically every
county so far checked which are justly
subject to taxation. Some of these es-
tates have not even been administered;
others administered have never been
assessed for the inheritance. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars OF taxable
values of wealthy estates are being I'M
covered.
Local attorneys have been employed
in each county charged with checking
estate administered and un-administer-
ed for the four years since the inherit
ance tax was passed. Necessarily such
work can be done only through local
counsel familiar with the individual es-
tates. OF course no fees will be paid
except where services are actually
rendered. Fair compensation, entirely
contingent upon collection of the
taxes. will be paid. And as stated, pre-
liminary reports indicate that net
saving to the state of thousands OF
dollars will result from these efforts.

recording of child's birth may notify
the public health authorities and thus
make it possible to offer the necessary
help to mother and child in cases in
which the family may not be able to
afford adequate medical and nursing
care. Blindness among children in
many cases is due to causes easily
preventable by proper attention at
birth.-Atlanta constitution.

The following interesting poper was
read by Mrs. C. C. McCrory at the last
meeting fthe Ellaville Woman's Club:
Altho Ellaville is smaller than most

We need artistic homes. First, Off the
pleasure and enjoyment OF our boys

more content at home with clean
streets to walk on, pretty flower gard

that boys and girls leave their homes

Art teaches ways of improving the
material on hand and rounding it out
into a beautiful, lovely picture.
We need to give more attention to
the art of character building. We can
dc this by placing the right touches
and tints upon our own lives to make
the pictures of our own characters
more beautiful.
To do this we need to obtain vessels
of love, patience, truth, forgiveness
and all the noble virtues, these should
be placed upon the canvas with the
utmost care. We need to be very care
full not to get envy, jealousy, selfish
ness or any wrong colors on our brush

The passage of the national chlIa Ia

question of birth registration THOSE

The test consists in investigating the

community in a given year, and asecr-
tain by reference to the local records
what portion of these have been reg
istered. This may serve as helpfuI

The methods suggested for making the

ANY organization or individual IN
the investigation is invited to write to

Some OF the reasons why parents
should be interested in having the
birth of their babies recorded are CIV
en- as follows:
In order that figures may be avail
able upon which to base the accurate
study of the problems connected with
infant mortality,
In order that the individual may
have a record to refer to in all ques-
