is to enjoy an inside bath each morning
to flush IRON the system the previous

the blood. Just as coal, when it burns,
leaves behind certain amount of in
con,bustible material in the form of
ashes. so the food and drink taken each
day leave in the alimentary organs a
certain amount of mdigestible material,
which if not eliminated, forms toxins and
poisons which are then sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which are
intended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.

GEORGIA COTTON
CROP CONDITION
DIVIDED ACCOUNT OF CONDITION
OUR STATE

ATLANTA, Ca, June 4.-The state
is divided into three distinct sectinns
as far as cotton is. concerned. In the
north the crop is exceptionally good,
but two or tire weeks late. In the
south and west it is small, hard, lousy,
and grassy. In the center and east
things are about as usual
The condition figure, particularly
this season, involves many considera-
lions which have to do with the future
of the crop. These divide themselves
in two groups, and opposed, make a
very complex problem.
On the negative side, the weather
mas been very unfavorable most of
the season Showers have promoted
a wonderful growth of grass which
bids fair to get the upper hand on ac-
count Of the woeful shortage of hoe
hands, The nights have been cold and
the cotton held back in its develop
ment. This is of especial weight in
pestridden territory, where it is abso-
iutely essential to get an early start.
To make matters worse in this region,
the boil weevil emerged early. was
present in large numbers as early as
May l, and has multiplied so rapidly
that many of the poorer fields have
been plowed up and put in other crops.
This is the first time that this practice
has been of enough Importance to
really deserve mention. Reliable adj
vice Of weevil activiis in countries
not badly INJURIES hitherto, points to
great destruction as the season adj
vance. Plant lice and cut worms have
been at work in unprecedented num-
bers. Altogether the outlook would
be rather black were it not for equally
strong reasons for good crop.
First among these is the widespread
and very general use of improved ear
iy seed, such as King, Toole. Cleve
land, etc, which has taken place ow-
ing to destruction of seed crop by
early freeze last fall. With this type
of cotton an increased yield would be
certain under ordinary circumstances
Next, the splendid financial sales
when staple is made insures an op-
timistic mood and maximum effort of
himself and family to make the crop
in spite of all handicaps. This partial
ly offsets shortage in labor.
Lastly, the use of fertilizer on cot
ton has been greater this year than
for several seasons and the plant food
has been of better quality. Studies
showing the connection between the
lavish use of "Guano" and high yields
lead us to expect marked increase
in production from this cause.
Summarizing, the prospect is for a
very good northern crop, an exceeding
ly low southern yield and tremendous
and partially unexpected weevil dam,

j. 5. Takes Charge
OF JERSEY Canals
Delaware and Raritan In
cluded in Announcement
of Acquisition
TOMLINSON
Is IN CHARGE

Formal announcement that the Gov
ernment has taken over the New Jersey
canals and the Delaware and Rarltan
Canal, was made yesterday in Wash
ington.
q. A. Tomlinson, general manager OF
the New York canal section Of the rail-
road administration, has been placed In
control Of the Government-controlle
waterways.
Closer cooperation between these
inland waterways was found necessary,
and the management was ordered COM
bined under one head.
The Delaware and Raritan Canal
which is the connecting waterllnk be-
tween the Delaware river and New York
harbor, is under tease TO the Pennsyl-
vanla railroad. and therefore is oonsid-
cred a part Of the Pennsylvanlas vast
transportation system.
II extends from Bordentown, N. j., TO
New Brunswick, a distance OF forty
miles. It is understood that the Gov
ernment will begin operation Of a line
Of lows and barges. the same as Is now
being operated on the Erie Canal, which
was recently taken over by the railroad
administration.
This is expected TO bring about a
greater utilization of the inland water
way between New York and Philadel-
phia harbors and relieve much Of the
rail congestion between those points.
The Delaware and Raritsn has depth
or eight feet. The details OF the Gov
ernment's plan TO put additional barges
on the canal, the rates TO be charged
and other things incidental TO its opera
tion on a large scale have not been an
nounced.
Ultimately. It is believed. the Govern
ment VIII adopt the plan advocated by
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways AssO-
citation for an inland channel extending
from a point in Maine to the lower end
OF the east coast of Florida. The in
tracoastal route would link up the har-
bors Of Boston, New York, Philadelphia.
Wilmington, Baltimore and Norfolk and
eliminate the "outside" route for much
Of the intracoastal trade.
The Delaware and Raritan Canal was
not included in the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways project. The abandonment
Of the Delaware and Raritan, which
pursues a tortuous and roundabout
couise ONtr lic OtdLe Ol NbW Jersey IS
advocated by the waterways association
and the building Of a new ship canal at
an estimated cost of from s20,OO0.OOO to
Sk0OO0,0O0.
IL would cost a considerable sum to
put the present canal in a modern con-
ditlon and traffic over 1t would be ham
pered because Of the fact that it does
not touch the most important towns be-
tween New York Harbor and the Della
ware river.
The New Jersey authorities are in full
accord with the association proposal
for a ship canal and have appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase Of the right OF
way. II IS proposed ultimately to have
the ship canal dug to a depth Of twenty
i've feet to enable the biggest merchant
vessels to make a continuous inside
