THRIFT STAMP SALE
in GEORGIA Is BIG

ATLANTA, Ca, April 13.-Other
states which have apparently made a
better showing for thrift and war saw
irgs stamps than Georgia base their
estimates of sales on pledges to buy
stamps, while Georgia's figures have
consisted entirely of actual sales, ac-
cording to statement given out here
by State Director Hugh Richardson,
who is in charge of thrift stamp sales
in Georgia.
Of course the states which have
counted pledges as a part of sales did
not count any pledges that were not
perfectly safe, but this accounts for
their very large showing, Director
Richardson explains There will be a
pledge card campaign in Georgia in
due time, but it will be held back un-
til after the close of the drive for the
third Liberty loan.
Meanwhile, thrift stamp workers ia
Georgia should feel encouraged by the
fact that their showing does not COM
pare unfavorably with other states, in
view of the above facts, and should de-
vote themselves with energy to or
ganization work in preparation for an
intensive drive that will be launched
Immediately after the loan.

FURLOUCH SOLDIERS
FOR WORK ON FARMS

ATLANTA, Ga, April Especially
--Spurred on by Georgia Congressman,
at the request Of the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture, the War Depart
ment has at last promulgated regula-
tons under the Dent bill for the fur
Laughing of certain soldiers in the ma
tional army who may desire to return
u the farms for the 1918 planting an~
harvesting seasons.
It has taken a long time and per-
sistent effort to secure this action and
it still remains to be seen what are
going to be it's practical workings. The
Georgia Department of Agriculture,
which has worked pers1stAntly TO ac-
complish this end, can only hope that
1t will result in bringing some small
measure of relief to Georgia farmers
in the return at least to them of por-
ton of the men who have gone from
them in order that they may assist in
1918 production.
This farm service is, of course, made
wholly voluntary with the soldier.
If any beneficial results are to be
accomplished under these regulations
they must be acted upon speedily. The
planting season over most of Georgia
is now well under way and thea
nc time to be lost.

OLD AGE A CRIME!

Some people are young at 6o-red
checked, rudy and VIGOROUS. Others
are old at 4O-joints beginning to stiff
fen up a bit, step beginning to lag and
lose its springiness; occasional touches
of pain in the back; feel tired without
cause, and possibly a twinge of rheu-
matice pain.
In most cases these are the danger
signals to warn you that the kidneys
are not promptly doing their work of
throwing off the poisons that are al
ways forming in the body. To neglect
those natural warnings is a crime
against yourself. If you have these
symptoms you can find prompt relief
