GEORGIA AUTO ASSOCIATION
TO PLACE BILL BEFORE THE
COMING GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The Georgia State Automobile asso
citation now comprises a chain of 10.
cal affiliated clubs organized practical
ly in all sections of the state.
The associations managing director
A. NJ. O'Flint, has prepared bill tc
present to the state executive commit
tee of this body, possibly a similar
! bill will be introduced in the state leg
| islature in June, and it is believed that
/ every automobile driver will foster
the bill, being for his own safety and
direct benefit The law that O'F'lint
wishes enacted in Georgia will permit
thirty miles an hour on all highways
fifteen miles an hour in the outlying
districts of towns and cities, and ten
miles an hour in congested districts
and to be known as the Georgia Uni
versal Traffic law, and in the minds OF
those behind the bill it is an eXcep-
tional law, and will apply to every city
: in Georgia
By observing this law, should it be
enacted, the visiting motorists will not
be annoyed by the motor policemen
maintained in many districts, partic-
ularly on the main highways in the
vicinity of the cities.
| 1t is understood that the bill also
contains the following regulations:
twenty-five dollars for the first offense;
fifty for the second; one hundred dol
lars, or Jail term, for the third Of
tense. the third offense to carry with
| il the revocation of the license to drive
an automobile for that particular year.
We should have law of this de-
scription in Georgia. 1t is thoroughly
constitutional. Under a recent ruling
of the Supreme Court of California the
state law was held to supercede the
city and town ordinances, therefore,
making the speed regulations of motor
vehicles uniform throughout the state.
The Georgia State Automobile AS
sociation is also encouraging the cree
ton in the prominent corners of eacn
city their various city ordinances,
which, under the present law, will
enlighten the visiting motorists, and
serve to establish and maintain a
friendly feeling with all people visit
ing the city or town.
The Association does not think that
airy child under the age of eighteen
years should be given permission to
drive an automobile, and if said law is
not enforced, that said father, guard
ian, or whoever may own the automo-
bile, be liable for same.
The purpose of this organization is
to look out for the benefit of all motor
lists, as we'll as pedestrians on our
streets, and we trust to see the day
that what laws We have shall be rig
iGly enforced, otherwise, let's remove
them from the statute books of our
state.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee Will
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

Washington.-Creati of a central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever,
financial expert Of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
]. p. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa-
tion, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, 'for all their
boasted efficiency. have never had the
co.rage to face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
it."
The Teutonic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
.diate large part Of their debt or face
Inability to buy the enormous quanti-
ties of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war 'by the straightfor-
ward and natural means. by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rnis-
ing loans" As a result, he predicted
that the end Of the war would find the
allies In good shape financially. despite
their enormous permanent debts.

the phenomenal success the prepa-
ration has achieved throughout the
country proves conclusively that my
confidence In Tanlac Is well placed.
'The ingredients or medicinal ele-
ments which make Tanlac come from
many remote sections of the earth
the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia.
West Indies, mountain states near the
Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Peru
are among the points from which prin-
cipal parts Of the preparation are OBJ

Tanlac."
The wonderful success which Tan
lac has achieved seems almost incred-
ible, as over Seven Million bottles have
been sold and distributed since It was
placed ON the market, something over
two years ago, and It is now selling
at the phenomenal rate Of approxi-
mately Five Million bottles per year.
One retail firm, the Jacobs Phar-
macy Company, Of Atlanta, has sold
at retail in their eleven Atlanta stores
the astonishing total Of $4,000 bottles
within the past twelve months, break
ing all records for the sale Of a pro-
prietary medicine in the same length
Of time.
Memphis dealers and jobbers have
sold 20S,1 ,116 bottles since April, 1915.
Texas dealers and jobbers have sold
approximately Half a Million bottles
within the past six months, and 1t Is
now the most widely talked Of medi-
cine in the world today.
There is only one explanation for
this Nation wide popularity and rec
ord breaking demand for Tanlac and
that is very simple. The inherent
purity and wholesomeness Of the med
icine has confirmed it In the minds Of
the people and have made it a house

The leading drug firms of Denver.
Colorado Springs and Pueblo are en-

Th0uSandS OF the most prominent
people In st. Louis, Cincinnati, Dallas,
Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Louis
vile, Nashville and even the larger
cities Of the North and East, where
his celebrated medicine has been ac-
complishing such remarkable results,
are even more enthusiastic over Tan
lac than Mr.. Cooper himself.
It is Mr.. Cooper's theory that nine
tenths OF the diseases and ill-health
Of the average person is due to ca
tarrhal Inflammation Of the mucous
membrane which produces faulty d.
gestion and improper assimilation Of
the food.
: In a recent interview, Mr.. Cooper
was asked II Tanlac would relieve
Kidney trouble, Liver complaint and
q dozen other ailments and in this
connection, said:
'tAs I have repeatedly said. my med
icine acts directly on the mucous
membrane, stomach and blood, expel-
ling from them the impurities and
toxic pofsons, and rendering to them
a strong. healthy condition.
II am convinced that the stomach
regulates the condition Of the blood.
and is the fountainhead Of health or
disease, as the case may be. My
medicine Is intended primarily for the
regulation Of the stomach and catar-
rhal Inflammation. but 1t Is no uncom-
mon thing for persons who have used
It to come to me and explain that 1t
has relieved them of rheumatism and
many other ailments not generally
recognized as having their origin in
stomach trouble.
Most Of the so-called stomach.
iiyAr and kidney troubles" continued
Mr.. Cooper, ''are due almost entirely
to a catarrhal Inflammation Of these
organs and 1t is believed that TanlaC
Is the first actually direct specific
! therefor.
"Catarrh of the stomach, liver and
kidneys is the most frequent cause Of
dyspepsia and kidney disorders and q
catarrhal condition Of the nose and
throat often leads to deafness. Ere
quently the lungs become diseased by
the extension Of the catarrhal infiam-
nation by way of the bronchial tubes
to the lung substance. The mental
and physical state of the chronic ca
tarrh sufferers is indeed very unfortu-
nate.
'Tanlac has overcome this condition
in its most obstinate stages, and the
preparation, therefore, must be. as
have always contended, the one great

BANKS ASKED TO COOPERATE
Secretary Authorizes Financial lnsti-

for the Bond Offerings.

Secretary McAdoo tele-
graphed the entire list of 27.513 nation
al and state banks and trust companies
in the United States, authorizing them
to receive subscriptions for the $1,000
O00. 900 bond offering, enlisting their
cooperation, and requesting them to
telegraph a rough estimate of the
amount Of bonds each would take for
itself and its patrons.
"You can render an invaluable serv-
ice to your country" Mr.. McAdoo told
the banks, "by receiving subscriptions
and cooperating with the federal re-
serve bank in your district"
Loan Subscriptions Pour In.
To all clearing house associations in
the country Mr.. McAdoo sent a tele-
gram in which he said:
1.-The amount Of the initial loan has
been determined by the needs Of the
government and not arbitrarily. The
enthusiastic and patriotic cooperation
Of the banks and bankers Of the coun-
try will guarantee the success of the
undertaking"
The result Of the first announcement
of the loan has been deluge of sub
scriptions, aggregating many millions.
Most of these came in by wire to the
treasury. Virtually every large city
and every state in the Union was rep
resented.
Lend $1oo, ,ooo, 900 to Italy.
Negotiations continued today with
representatives Of the nations to
which the United States is extending
credit. Count di Cellere, the Italian
ambassador, received the full amount
of the first $100,OOO,OOO loan made by
this government to Italy.
Subscriptions to the second offering
Of treasury certificates were received
during the day by the federal reserve
banks. Indications are that the secre-
tary will call for the proceeds within
a week, possibly few days.
The $1OO,OO0OOO loan to France will

Remarkable Mirage Seen at palren.

A mirage was witnessed at Dairen,

Dalny, on the Llaotung peninsula. The
vision appeared upon the side Of the
bay and was discovered by the purser
of the Shanghai liner Sakaki Maru,
while coming into port. Looking
northward, he saw vast structures
upon the side of the bay, where he
knew no such buildings existed. A
crowd assembled, and the vision was
promptly declared to be a mirage
one of the most remarkable ever seen
In the far East. 1t originally appeared
to be three buildings. six stories high.
This disappeared and then a whole
city rose out OF the waters OF the bay

FAMOUS TREES OF NEW YORK
PopIars In Two City Parks That Are
Known to Be About Seventy
Five Years Old.

Three Of the finest trees on Man
haitian Island are the magnificent
old poplars in Gramercy and Stuy-
vesant parks. Gramercy has one,
near the center of the square, while
the other two are in the western
half of Stuyvesant park, near Second
avenue. They are about seventy-five
years old, and are decidedly the old
est trees in the lower part of Man
haitian Island.
Their nearest rival stood, until a
Few years ago, in East River park,
overlooking He'll Gate, not far from
the ancient John Jacob Astor sum-
mer home. Beneath its shade Wash
ington Irving is said to have rested
while a guest of the Astors. 1t was
blown down in a severe storm sew
eral years ago.
Stuyvesant park has several fine
poplars; but the two on the west side
of Second avenue, which bisects the
park, are the best survivors of the
days when that popular east side rec
reation place was laid out. They
date from about 1886, when the
park, from Fifteenth to Seventeenth
street, was given to the city by Peter
Gerard Stuyvesant, a great-great-
grandson of the Dutch governor, Pc
trus Stuyvesant.
