General Council and its officers in

being held in trust by the Indian
Bureau and belonging TO the Chip

Don't allow yourself to become
weak and rundown from womanly
troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure

nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out
feeling, are all signs of womanly trou.

Multiplying BILL

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 8.-Maybe after
this session of the legislature num-
Der OF moderately we'll to do Geor-
glans will be able to do little travel
ing without danger of bankruptcy, for
the Senate's judiciary committee has
recommended for passage the anti
tipping bill of Messrs. Burwell and
Pickett recently passed by the house.
There was quite a lengthy discus
sion in the committee as to the advis-
ability of recommending the bill, some
of the committee contending that
such legislation was of a frivolous
nature. Others contended, however,
that the tipping evil is an absolutely
solemn and serious question, and that
legislation to prevent tipping would
be beneficial to the travelling public
and in line with legislation enacted
in other states.
When the bill comes upon the floor
of the Senate there will probably be
another warm discussion of the merits
of the bill

Atlanta, Ga, August S.-That good

RECRUITS NOW FLOCK
TO GET IN FIGHT

Atlanta, Ga, August 8-The recruit
ing officers are kept busy these days
for two reasons. More and more
men want to get into the fighting
over there" to help wallop the Huns,
and the proposed extension of the
age limits is stimulating enlistment,
as no registered man can be accepted
as volunteer in any branch of the
regular or national army.
When the proposed extension of the
age limit goes into effect, the men af-
fected will have no opportunity to Sc
lect the branches of the service in
which they prefer to be, and many are
taking advantage now of the open
lists.
All branches are now open to re-
cruits, and the July enlistments show
the increased interest in the ques-
ton.

WEATHER AND CROP
CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, Ga, Aug 7-Abundant pre-
cipitation occurred in all sections of
Georgia during the past week In
many scattered counties there was too
much rain for the best DEVELOPMENT
OF crops, and the relatively cool wea-
Their and almost complete absence of
sunshine until near the close of the
week was detrimental AS a general
rule, however, crops were greatly
benefited by the abundant moisture.
All minor crops such as sweet pota-
toes. cane, peanuts, rice, pastures, and
hay crops were much refreshed and
are growing vigorously. Early vari-
cites of peanuts are mature and some
sorghum is ready to gather. Digging
sweet potatoes continues on a mod
crate scale. Pecan trees have been
shedding nuts considerably. Plantt
ing field peas, fall white potatoes,
turnips and autumn gardens is pro-
gressinp. Corn has improved, and a
good crops of both early and late corn
is assured; pulling fodder was delay
ed by the rain. While cotton has
generally somewhat improved, there
are many scattered counties in all
sections where it has deteriorated in
consequence of heavy local rains. The
shedding of squares and young bolls
and activities of the boil weevils in
the South have increased. Cotton is
opening northward to the central dis
trict, and little has been picked.
Farm work is normally advanced.
