German Attitude Can't
Be Painted Too Black,
Says Georgian at Front

Especial Dispatch to The JournalD
WAYCROSS. Ga, May 29.-That the
attitude of the Germans cannot be
painted too black is the statement con-
tanned in a letter received here from
w. T. Kent, former manager of the
local Kress store, now a member of
the first American detachment at the
front in France. Mr.. Kent until a year
ago made his home in Waycross. Early
this month he wrote from Paris, say
ing that he was a member of a de-
tachment of Americans which would go
to the front very soon and describing
the feeling of the French toward the
Americans.
The German attitude cannot be real
lied from the states" he said. Their
attitude cannot be painted too black
They seem to possess instincts foreign
to our people"
Mr.. Kent said the French we're very
grateful to the Americans and looked
TO them for deliverance.
They have the deepest confidence in
Americans" he said. land truly love
them"
In telling of the need of the hour
Mr.. Kent said 1t was really more am
munition than men that the French
needed at the front. He said the
French forces were we'll stationed at
present but unless means were speedily
devised to keep them supplied with
larger quantities of ammunition they
would be forced to give UP some i'm
portant positions.
The American detachment Of which
Mr.. Kent is a member took charge of
a number of auto trucks and are fur
nishing supplies as rapidly as possible
for the men in the trenches The
work is just as dangerous as that of
the men on the firing line because the
Germans seek by every means posi-
BILE to destroy supplies as we'll as men.
Mr.. Kent said he was grateful that
the opportunity to do something for
the cause of humanity had been given
him and he expressed the hope that
Americans would respond to the call
and leave nothing undone to help defeat
Germany.

Doctor Says Nueated Iron Will
Increase Strength of Delicate
PEOPLE IOO3o in Ten DAVIS

In many NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. have suf-
fered untold agony for years doctor1ng

Kidney disease or some other silment
in the blood.-How to tell.
New York, y. Yin a recent dis
course DR.. r. Sauer. a Boston physician
who has studied widely both in this
country and in great European medical
institutions, said: IF you were to make
an actual blood test on all people who
are Ill you would probably be greatly as

Der who lack iron and who are III for
no other reason than the lack of iron.
The moment iron is supplied all their

appear. Without iron the blood at once
loses the power to change food into Nv
ing tissue and therefore nothing you eat

passes through your system like corn
through mill with the rollers so wide
apart that the mill can't grind. AS a re-
suit of this continuous blood and nerve
starvation, people become generally
weakened, nervous and all run down and
frequently develop all sorts of condl-

they have dyspepsia, kidney or liver

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
VALDOSTA. Ga, May 29.-Returns
from three carloads of Irish potatoes
that were shipped from this city last
week show that they Melted the ship
pers $1,000 a car. The potatoes brought
an average of IS a barrel. Those ship
ped from here mostly went to western
cities. Yancey Wisenbaker on two
acres of land received $3.50 for his po-
tato crop, and now has a patch of corn
that promises to yield good returns.
w. A. Goodwin was among those who
shipped one car, and Lawson Howell
had another. John Ray will ship two
cars this week. The Irish potato in
dustry has reached large proportions
here, and the growers iare getting big
returns from them.

Especial Dispatch to The JournaD

SAVANNAH, Ga, May 29-The Do
lice face new difficulties in enforcing
the "bone-dry'' prohibition law in Sa-
vannah in the face of a ruling by Judge
Schwarz, of the recorders court. this
morning. Effie Heath. a woman who
yesterday barricaded herself in her
home and shot at two officers, was dis
missed by the recorder this morning.
He held that the woman had a right
to keep the officers out of her home.
The police went to the store search
ing for liquor and the woman went
into her room. Through a crack in the
doorway she could see the officers and
she shot at them. The woman was ar
rested on tho charge of assault with
intent to kill. The recorder dismissed
the charges against her this morning.
MY version of the law is that the
defendant was clearly within her
rights" said the recorder as he marked
the case off the docket. 1t is expected
the police will now present the woman
to the grand jury.

CONSUMPTION PLOTS
CRUSHED, OFFICIALS HOPE
Riots. Like Those of Civil War
Days Still Regarded as
Possible

WASHINGTON, May 3o.-Govern-
ment heads hoped today. though they
did not fully believe. that they had
crushed anti-conscription plots.
Riots like those of civil war days
were still regarded as possible. though
the firm hand of the government in
rounding up plotters in advance APP
peared partly at least to have chilled
the work of the propagandists.
Federal agents, United States mar
shals, local and state police and civic
and patriotic orders are at work over
the entire nation to turn up the men
who would thwart Americas war plans.
They will continue their tasks
through registration day next Tuesday,
and If necessary, national guardsmen
will be called into service to quell dis
orders
The government investigators trail
led today in many instances to pro-
German quarters.
The thoroughness of the anti--egis-
tration propaganda convinced authori-
ties here that it was largely a pre-con-
ceived proram Of Teutonic agents.
In any event the perpetrators there
of will be punished to the full extent
Of the sedition law, or if the new spy
bill passes, other cases will be punished
under that measure. In this connec-
ton, 1t was recalled today that in the
civil war, President Lincoln sent over
. to the Confederate lines a man named
Vallandigham. candidate for governor
of Ohio, who preached anti-draft.
Whether charges Of treason can be
pressed in the present instance is prob
lematical, though the anti-registration
plots manifestly have the effect of trea.-
son-giving aid and comfort to the
enemy.
The thought of Imprisonment for fail
ure to register is deemed likely to pre-
vent all but few slackers from heed
ing the propagandists proposals.
Talk of political influences at work
to exempt political frinds is still heard
here, though thus far no concrete proof
of such a plan is at hand.

tired. Next take two five-grain tablets
of ordinary nuxated iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained. I
have seen dozens Of nervous rundown
people who were ailing all the time dou-
BILE. and even triple their strength and
endurance and entirely get rid Of their
symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other
troubles in from ten to fourteen days
time simply by taking iron in the proper
form. and this, after they had in some
cases been doetoring for months without
obtaining any benefit. You can talk as
YOU please about all the wonders
wrought by new remedies, but when you
come down to hard facts there is Moth
ing like good old iron to put color in
your cheeks and good sound, healthy
flesh on your bones. 1t is also a great
nerve and stomach strengthened and the
best blood builder in the world. The on
" trouble was that the old forms of in
organic iron like tincture of iron, iron
acetate, etc. often ruined peoples teeth,
simulated and for these reasons they

newer forms of organic iron all this
has been overcome. NuXated Iron for
example, is pleasant TO take, does not
injure the teeth and is almost immedi-
ately beneficial.
NOTE.-The manufo cturers OF Nuxated Iron
have such unbounded confidence in its potency
that they authorize the announcement that they
will forfeit $1,000 to any Charitable Institution
If they cannot take any man or woman under
sixty who lacks iron and increase their strength

vided the have no serious organic trouble. Also
they will refund your money IN any case in
which NuIated Iron does not at least double
your strength IN ten days time. It IS dispensed

Safeguard Democracy
By Buying Bonds, Is
Edison's Summing Up

NEW YORK. May SO.-Thomas A Ed
ison today spared a few minutes from
his laboratory tasks to tell Americans
what he believes their duties are in the
war. The citizen who buys a Liberty
Bond, he said, pays the first premium
on an insurance policy against the death
of democracy
"One thing is sure" the inventor de-
clared, 1.-The minimum service any of us
can render America and the democracy
of the whole world is to buy Liberty
Bonds. The loan should not only be
fully subscribed, 1t should be over-sub-
scribed. No government in the history
of the world ever asked money for a
nobler purpose. To buy a bond is to
pay the first premium Of an insurance
policy against the death of democracy,
against brutal Prussian militarism,
against future wars with their resultant
deaths and sorrows and horrors"

COTTON SEED MEN PLAN
TO AID ALL CA. FARMERS
Rules Committee of CruSherS'
Association Discuss Stu
alton at Meeting

Preparatory TO the convention Of the
Cottonseed Crushers' association OF
Georgia, the annual meeting of the
rules committee OF that organization
met Wednesday morning in the Hotel
Ansley to consider certain amendments
and changes I'm their bylaws.
W. II. Hutchinson, of Macon, chair
man of the committee stated Wednes-
day: "One amendment we will consider
is that of offering our facilities TO farm
ers for crushing peanuts. A much
larger acreage of peanuts has been
planted this year. particularly in the
boil weevil sections, and peanut pro-
ducts will be an important item for the
farmer this year.
We will also adopt a ruling allow
ing us to pay a premium for first-class
cottonseed. Heretofore many thousand
bushels of cottonseed have been dam
aged or entirely lost, due to improper
handling, carelessness and walton waste.
In the present crisis cottonseed and it's
products have become so valuable, both
as a food for humans and live stock,
that the agriculturist who damages or
wastes his cottonseed through careless
ness is committing a crime.
I'VE expect the farmers and ginners
Of Georgia to come to an Immediate re-
AiA@0tAoh VI Nho Importance OF the COT
tonseed situation. Doubtless they will
give their hearty and sympathetic sup
port, thus protecting the country and
themselves at the same moment"
The convention Of the associa ton is
announced for June to at Atlantic

are expected to be present
other members Of the committee who
assembled at the Ansley Wednesday

Sen. Benz. R. Tillman
Undergoes Operation;
Condition Not Serious

Senator Benjamin r, Tillman. of
South Carolina, underwent a minor oper-
alton on his arm at the Robertson
Blackman infirmary, 172 Capitol avenue.
Wednesday morning, and late reports
were to the effect that his opera ton
is in no sense critical
The senator came to Atlanta about
two weeks ago for the purpose of hav-
ing his arm treated. A severe eruption
had resulted from a small pimple and
the diagnoses and treatment of several
eastern physicians had apparently done
no good.
1t was necessary TO use an anesthesia
on the senator but he experienced no i'll
effects. Mrs. Tillman. who accompanied
him to Atlanta, said she expected to see
him fully recovered IN a short while
and able TO resume his duties at Wash
