as well as a throng of visitors are
Atlanta's guests this week to see

banner event in point of attendance

The proposition which has been
taken under adyisement by the Fed
eral Trade Commission, is said by
government officials to mark new
era in American life. The Commits
sion was created to provide an eX
pert body for scientific and economic
adjustment rather than the prose
cution in order that the public
might not be compelled to wait and
suffer for relief during the slower
processes of the criminal law.

cognition of the new idea by Ameri
can business men. Official Washing
ton is amazed at the completeness of
the Commissions accomplishment
and already there is a belief that the
action of the paper manufacturers
will be followed by other groups
that have been charged with Mo-
nopoly and extortion.
If the Commission accepts this of

facts gathered in the last eight
months to make its decision before

been taken for the establishment of

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
WINS SUCCESS IN FIGHT WITH
NEWSPAPER MANUFACTURERS

The principal news-print paper
manufacturers of the American con-
tinent today made the remarkable
proposition that the Federal Trade
Commission shall arbitrate and de-
termine a fair and reasonable max
imum price for paper from March
j, 1917, to September /, 1917.
The offer, with its promise of
lower prices and more equitable dis
tribution, not only means tne saw
ing of millions TO the great publis-
hers of The country, but averts the
absolute ruin that now threatens
hundreds of smaller publishers.
The proposition is the outcome Of
news-print investigation tnat the
Federal Trade Commission has been
conducting for the last months.
As result of pubic hearings and
The work Of economists, accountants
and field experts, the Commission
arrived at the conclusion that the
paper shortage was largely artific-
ial, that the priceswere extortionate,
and that free competition had ceas-
ed to exist.
1t was the evidence procured by
the Commission, and turned over to
the Attorney General, that led to
the recent preparations for criminal
prosecution by the Department of
Justice.
For the last two months. tne
Commission has been seeking speedy
relief from an intolerable situation
by means of conferences between
publishers and manufacturers, but
a deadlock was the only result. De-
terming upon decisive measures the
Federal Trade Commission employed
Francis j. Heney, of California, to
assist the Commission in securing
instant action and relief 1t is
through conferences between Mr..
Heney, on the one hand, and the
manufacturers and their attorneys
on the other, that the proposition
has been made to put the whole
matter up to the Federal Trade
Commission.
This was the proposition suggest
ed by the Publishers January q at
Chicago conference and refused at
that time by the manufacturers.
Once convinced of the Commission S
determination, as we'll as impressed
by its presentation of the evils and
perils of the situation, the manufac-
turers made the submission in a
spirit of fairness and cooperation.
The principal features of the of
fer are:
WHEREAS, Among manufacT11-
ers and publishers, there are differ
ences of opinion regarding the in
crease since January, 1916, in the
cost of production of news-print
paper in the United States, and re-
garding the increased prices to
which manufacturers are entitled

WIFE Of ENGINEER
GAINS Is POUNDS
G. G. GEIGER SAYS HIS WIFE
SUFFERED WITH RHEUMA-
TISM FOR YEARS--TANLAC
ENTIRELY 0vERC0MES TR0U-
BILE.

''Tanlac has not only relieved my
wife of a very severe attack of rheu-
matism, but she has actually gained
twenty-five (25) pounds since she
began taking the medicine" said
Mr.. G. G. Geiger, residing at 1873
East Linden street, Atlanta, Ca, for
a number of years employed as en-
gineer by the Georgia railroad.
Il don't believe l ever saw any
one suffer with rheumatism as much
as she did" continued Mr.. Geiger in
his statement to the Tanlac repre-
sentative. Sometimes her feet
would swell so she couldn't get her
shoes on. The pains in her arms
were so great at times she would
remark that they felt like they were
about to drop Off She had severe
headaches, and was dizzy and nerv-
GUS all the time and unable to sleep
well at night. Her appetite failed
her and she lost great deal / n
weight and strength. She some
times got so bad off she would have
to go to bed and stay for weeks at
a time. When she wasn't in bed
she felt so tired and played-out she
was never able to look after her
Homework.
She tried all kinds of medicine,
but nothing seemed to do her much
good, and when | began to hear, so
much talk about Tanlac, l just made
up my mind to lay all the other
medicines aside and put her on Tan
lac.
''She mas now finished her fourth
bottle and she is like a different
woman. The rheumatism has been
entirely relieved; she doesn't have
the headache any more, is no longer
nervous like she used to be, and
she sleeps like a baby. She has a
splendid appetite and has been gain
ing strength and weight right a.
long, and, as / have already told
you, she has gained twenty-five
pounds. She is full of life and en-
ergy now, and is looking after the
housework like she hadn't ever been
sick.
II tell you it's just wonderful the
way this medicine has helped her.
for she was almost a nervous wreck
when she started taking it. I'll
never be able to tell you how thank
ful l am for what it has done for
her, and I'm recommending it to
all my friends. Many of them have
already begun taking it on my rec
concentration"
