Remarkable Medicinal Properties
of Noted Doctors Prescription.
For years people have been taking
DR.. Williams No. 101 Tonic for chills
and fever, colds and grippe. Now
they are. finding it is one of the best
things to fight the Spanish influenza.
The quinine in it kills the influenza
germ quickly and thoroughly. 1t
doesn't have chance. And the iron
IN the medicine is one of the best of
tonics and builds up the system, re-
storing lost vitality, increasing the
appetite and renewing the health,
thus making the system able to throw
off disease germs. A third ingredi-
ent of the medicine is magnesia,
which acts on the liver and bowels.
DR.. Williams No. 101 Tonic is, there
fore, an ideal preparation. It never
fails to produce desirable results and
1t is specially suitable for fighting the
flu" No other combination of drugs
could produce such happy results. Try

Jump from Bed

If we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
halfsick, manufacturing souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy. healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce Of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as 1t Is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear

port of Internal Revenue Commits

sons with incomes of $4,000 or less
in 1917 filed returns, including many
heads of families having incomes
ranging between $1,000 and $4,000,
which were reportable but not taxa
Bile, they were assessed only $22,-
$4,000 in the aggregate or less than
$40 each. On the other hand. $685.

WILSON BEGINS TRIP WITH
SENATE GUNS FIRING ON HIM

WASHINGTON. - As he left
Washington President Wilson's trip
to Europe was the subject of spirited
debate in the senate as to whether he
would cease to be president of the
United States the minute he passes
beyond the territorial limits of the
country.
In introducing a resolution to de-
clare the presidents Office vacant
upon Mr.. Wilson'S departure from
the country and to provide for the
succession of Vice President Mar
shall, Senator Sherman severely criti-
cised the president for his decision to
attend the peace conference. He de-
clared the trip is unjustitied, con-
stitutes "a grave menace and might
cause "insidious mischief"
Sovereignty at Washington.
Senator Sherman insisted the pres
ident's departure would suspend the
legislative power of the government
during his absence" because while
congress can pas bills they cannot be
signed or vetoed by the president IN
accordance with law.
Senator Sherman argued that since,
under the law, congress established
Washington as the seat of govern
ment federal sovereignty resids at
that point, and it cannot be transfer
red to any other point except by act
of congress"
Snator Williams warmly defend
ed the presidents course, and sug-
gested the purpose of the presidents
critics" was to make political capital
out of his voyage abroad.
Il don't know of any real lawyer
publicist or real man of real common
sense who believes that Woodrow
Wilson is doing anything wrong OF

he goes to France. Gentlemen may

SENATOR SMITH ACTIVE IN
THE INTEREST OF COTTON
Has Made Successful Fight to Have
Restrictions on Exports Removed.

SAA AAFSA - ANSLAONCds
ATLANTA, Ga.-Now that restric-
tons on the export of cotton have
been entirely removed by the govern
ment in Washington through the eff
forts led by Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, and now that the farmers
of the cotton states are thoroughly
organizing themselves in a holding
movement to secure a fair price for
their staple all indications point to a
steady and substantial rise in the
market for several months to come.
Senator Hoke Smiths successful
fight to have all restrictions on the
export of cotton entirely removed
has put the market in a wholly new
and changed attitude. The spinner
who now needs cotton and seeks to
buy it, whether he be an American
spinner or an European spinner,
must pay a price dictated by the law
of supply and demand. In other
words, the south's cotton crop now
walks into a wide-open world market
and commands its own price.
