Georgia is experiencing some of the financial trou- bles of this state, and a budget is being urged for the conduct of the gov ernment and for making appropriations. It is sen sible; it is business-llke and is becoming to be rec ognized in the carrying on of a state government Just the same as a private bus mess, to be necessary to know just what you are going to pay for and what is to be done, before you begin to make prepara tions to finance the same. The governor has recom- mended it and a bill to that end has been intro duced in the house, the legislature being now ln session, and it is being discussed as a continuous special order and will be sure to pass.
 The bill provides that the creation of an Eff ciency and Economy Com mission' to be composed of the governor, as chair man, the attorney general, the comptroller- general, the state treasurer, the state auditor (herein ere ated). the president of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives, and one member from each house and the senate, appointed by their re spective presiding off cers.
 "'Ihat on or before the tenth day of each session this committee shall pre- pare and present to the general assembly a state budget, which shall con- tain a detailed and sum- marized statement of as sessment values; debts of state; receipts and ex- penditures for previous years; anticipation of rev enues for ensuing year; :; total expenditures for past fiscal year; proposed expenditures; proposed plan of taxation; showing general condition of state.

A visit to the laboratory where this

medicine for woman's Ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ

The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes I'm

and as q final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
