MRS. J.S.BURDFN
MAKES PUBLIC
STATEMENT
Anxious to Tell Others What
W-T0.NA Will Do For a 81
Year Old Man.
FEELS BETTER THAN HE HAS
FOR TWENTY YEARS.

From point of service, Mr.. j. S.
Burden, is next to the Oldest engi-
neer on the Southern Railway out of
Atlanta. Listen to what he says
about VI-TO-NA.
"If could draw pay for all the
time that / have lost by reason of
bad health, | would never have to
work anymore.
"For many years l suffered some
thing awful from rheumatism. 1t
just looked as if nothing would do
me much good. Ny blood got all
out Of order, and then. of course,
followed kindey trouble.
Il had no appetite. and what l
did eat never agreed with me. My
old friend, Charlie Blackburn, was
about in the same fix Charlie is an
engineer and we run opposite each
other. There have been times when
we both thought that we would have
to step down and let some of the
younger men take our runs. II sure
takes a good steady nerve and keen
eyesight, to put the New York Lin
tied through on time. We both felt
that in our rundown, nervous con-
dition, we could not much longer
fill the bill.
"Wel, one day, began to notice
that Charlie was looking better,
could tell from the way he made
the whistle talk" on the 1881, that
he was getting better. ! asked him
about it. And he told me that VI
IONA was giving him back his
strength and health.
81 at once. started on VI-TO-NA
and now l never lose day from my
work. Rheumatism is gone. no
more kidney trouble, and can eat
like horse and it stays with me.
II would rather be without money
IN the house than to be without
this wonderful mineral water. VI

rs SHAME TO CALL
SUCH MEN SLACKERS'

WASHINGTON, April SO.-Repre-
sentative Britten, Republican, of ILL
nois, defended the use at Washington
of reserve officers in various staff
corps of the army and navy. Mr..
Britten said it was a shame to call
such slackers.
Some members seem to forget
he went on, chat the reserve officers
are doing the most important work
OF the war-the maintaining of line
of communication 5000 miles across
the Atlantic They are doing the same
work here that is being done for Eng
land in London and for France in Paris
and by the staff officers behind the
trenches who are maintaining the lines
CT C mmunication over there.
eff the men who are doing staff
drty in Washington are to be called
slackers, bomb-proof officers, slickers
and so on, whether young or old, the
administrative machinery of the War
Department will fail. No one will
want to be part Of the ordinance or
quartermaster corps because of the
stigma so enormously applied"

SMITH ENDORSED
ON OVERMAN BILL

ATLANTA, Ca, April 29.-Should
the powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Federal Reserve
Board and the Federal Trade Com
mission be abridged on the ground Of
wartime necessity Atlanta business
men and bankers, realizing the direct
relation of these regulatory bodies to
the stability of business and financial
conditions, are strongly of the opinion
that their powers should not be abridg-
ed. Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia
is getting outspoken support of his
position on the Overman bill, which
in it's present form would practically
take away from these bodies all otheic
authority. Atlanta business men are
certainly not unpatriotic, nor do they
oppose any needful measure to expeN
rite the conduct of the war, but they
entertain serious apprehensions con-
corning the proposal to take away the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Federal Reserve
Board Shippers, especially feel that
the first named body is their only bull
wark against unreasonable and ex
cessive freight rates.
ITO transfer the duties of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to the
director of railroads, able though he
is" declared Senator Smith in his
recent speech on the Overman bill.
would be to subject the industries of
the country to the will, as to rates and
Determinations of the various local
superintendents of railroads scatter
ed over the country. This would place
the stability of every industry in a
condition of doubt which might seri-
oulsy curtail national production. To
place the duties ofsthe Federal Reserve
Board in the hands of the comptroller
Of currency would shake our bank
ing system throughout the entire coun-
try, whereas under the present con-
ditions it rests confidently upon the
wisdom of the board as at present
constituted"

HOWARD FRIENDS
NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
ATLANTA CONGRESSMAN is BE.
LEVIED TO HAVE MADE sERI.
Gus MISTAKE In ANNOUNCING
FOR u. s. SENATE.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 2S-Althcugh
bis friends are not saying much about
it in the hearing of other candidates,
it is known that some of the warmest
supporters Of Congressman William
Schley Howard, representative OF the
Fifth district, who recently announcer
himself a candidate for the Senate to
succeed the junior senator, are bring
ing strong pressure to persuade him to
withdraw from this race and seek re-
election to his present position.
The fact that several new candidates
have come into the race since Con-
gresham Howard made his announce
ment has increased their feeling that
he made mistake. If they felt that
he had a reasonable assurance of elec-
ton to the Senate they would favor
him to the last ditch if he stays IN
IT. DuL Ill Tic dUSSuCC VI 0uSA OS5uA
ance they believe that he ought tC
play safe" by going back to Con-
gress, which it is generally admitted
that he can do practically without
opposition. His district is probably
the largest in the Southern states in
/ ONT of population He is member
of the appropriations committee OF
the House, and enjoys the friendship
of the heads of all departments in
Washington.
Another serious factor in the situa-
ton as they see it is this: Reliable
report here has it that Congressman
Toward gave President Wilson to I'M
derstand that he would support Will
lam J. Harris for the Senate, and the
president is said to have expressed
surprise and disappointment when he
changed his mind This, it is feared
might seriously affect Mr. Towards
relations with the administration even
in the event of his election.
