The Many MysteriesTof
Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, M D.

You can take an onion seed and o pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower OF
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium "a dangerous, habit-formlng
drug, or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries OF Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands:
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, long since found out what is
naturally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
Of cases. The result of his studies was a
medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made of
vegetable growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical r.
regularities, pelvic inhammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages of life. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made Of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription they are getting safe woman's
tonic so good that druggists everywhere
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out Of his remedies.

SHOULD CHANGE LAW

Supreme Court decisions render 1T
impossible under existing laws for
County Commissioners to legally pay
interest on money for even current
expenses, and this fact puts nearly
every county in Georgia on credit
basis" which is expensive to the coun-
ty and a hardship to all who have
any business dealings with it.
People in Georgia give their tax
returns for the year in the spring
tax levies are fixed in the late sum-
mer, and taxes are collected in the
fall and winter. This necessarily
leaves several months in which the
county has no money, as the commits
sioners are not supposed to accumu
late funds to carry over.
Here in Polk, our commissioners
have been in the habit of borrowing
money to meet expenses, feeling that
it was cheaper and better for the
county to do this than to pay credit
prices and have holders of warrants
discount their script. This was un-
doubtedly good business, but it was
not in strict accordance with the let
ter of the law. Some one in Floyd
county got peeved at the commission
ers there, and the matter was car
ried to the Supreme Court, where the
inevitable decision was rendered that
under existing laws the county could
not borrow money.
The decision has worked a great
hardship on commissioners and people
alike. The sudden change gave rise
here in Polk to the report that the
county was bankrupt.
The general state law should be
changed so that the proper county
authorities could borrow money from
month to month up to the amount of
the tax levy. 1t is not right, for in
stance, that rich county like Polk
Should be forced to pay credit prices
and no one can be expected to fur
nish supplies at cash prices and then
have to discount their scrip or carry
! it for months. Neither is it fair that
employees of the county, working for
fixed salaries, should be compelled to
carry their scrip indefinitely or lose
the discount.-Cedartown Standard.

HANSON MOTOR COMPANY
HAS PROSPEROUS YEAR

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 26-(SpeciaD
One of the most remarkable stories of
industrial success under difficulties
was disclosed last week at the meet
ing of stockholders of the Hanson
Motor Company of Atlanta At
this meeting it was voted to double
the capitalization of the company,
making the capital stock S1,000,000,
the greater part of the new issue
being Immediately taken up by the
old stockholders.
Organized only one year ago, the
Hanson Company has, despite the war
rapidly forged to the front among
automobile manufacturers and at the
stockholders meeting declared a
handsome dividend as a result of the
years work.
1t was also stated by the company
that they are daily receiving requests
for territorial agency contracts from
all parts of the country; that they
now have on hand orders for over
800 cars for the earliest possible
uSllNSIS anu CIldL Vic plihC Will ollO1 u
ly be turning out completed cars at
the rate of ten daily.
At last weeks meeting it was also
voted to increase the capacity of the
of the plant and work will COM
mence Immediately on the erection
of additional buildings which will add
one acre of floor space to the already
handsome plant which now faces the
railroad on Murphy avenue, Atlanta.
The company has been handicapped
during its first year of business by
reason of war conditions. 1t will be
remembered that at one time it was
thought likely that all manufacture
of pleasure automobiles would be
stopped for the duration of the war,
and the makers of cars were actually
limited to a serious extent in their
output.
Despite these conditions, however,
the Hanson Six has won an impor-
tant place for itself in the motor
world, and it is now a safe predic-
ton that the achievements of this
company will mean the eventual
foundation of huge automobile in
dustry for the South.

FLIGHT GIVES NEW
DISTANCE RECORD

London. June 16.-The Hioht Of the
Nickers- Vimy biplane across the At
lantic was one of the three recent not
able achievements by airmen.
To Captain Alcock and Lieutenant
Brown goes the high honor of having
made the first nonstop air passage OF
the Atlantic, the achievement going to
the credit of Great Britain.
The Atlantic had already been span
ned in an air journey, however, the feat
having been performed by American
avail officers In the seaplane NC-4, with
stop at the Azores en- route from
Newfoundland to Lisbon, Portugal, the
journey beginning on May 10 and end
ing on May q.
Less successful but no less daring
than the achievement of the Vickers
Vimy pilot and navigator was the re-
cent fight by two other British air
men, Harry G. Hawker and Lieutenant
Commander Mackenzie Grieve. On May
10 they covered more than half the
distance across the Atlantic before being
compelled to alight in midocean.
A comparison of the records shows
that the NC-4 carried five men 2150
nautical miles in % hours 81 minutes,
while the Vickers Vimy plane flew with
two men 1850 nautical miles in 10 hours
- minutes. The achievement of. the
British fiers sets a new record for dis
tance covered in a single fight, the
longest single jump of the NC-4 having
been approximately 1900 miles from
Newfoundland to Horta in the Azores.

a reception and banquet for Captain
John Alcock on his arrival in London.
When he will reach this city is not
known as yet. 1t is expected that he
may participate in the Victory aerial
derby around London next Saturday
and, If possible, may drive the machine
in which he crossed the Atlantic.
London Learns News
London has only one Sunday after
noon newspaper, and the people first
learned of the success of the fight of
Alcock and Brown from it while walk
ing in the parks or coming out of the
churches. They received the intelli-
gence with the customary British de-
corum. There was no cheering or
gathering of crowds.
Naturally. there was great satisfac-
ton over the fact that British officers
had accomplished what the air ministry
and airmen generally believe will live
in history as one of the greatest and
most courageous feats of individuals of
the air force.
King Wires Congratulation
King George learned of the success
of the fight of Alcock and Brown as
he was leaving church at Westminster
yesterday. The king Immediately tele-
graphed his congratulations to the
airmen. Many high officials also sent
them messages and greetings.
Ma jor General Sykes, chief of the
air staff, on behalf of King George,
wired Alcock and Brown as follows
1T is with pleasure that I have
to convey to you the following messaga
l have received from the king:
% The king is delighted to receive the
welcome announcement that Captain
Alcock and Lieutenant Brown have
landed safely in Ireland after a trans
atlantic flight.
His Majesty wishes you to COM
municate at once with these officers and
to convey to them the kings warmest
congratulations on the success of their
splendid achievement.

Sykes was signed by Baron Stamford

George"

is credited by the Central News as say
ing with regard to Captain Alcock's
achievement:
''It was a magnificent and very fine
feat. ! am very glad Captain Alcock
was able to make the fight in real
fashion without warships and all that
sort OF thing. 1t is very gratifying
from that point, indeed"
Manchester Waits Favorite Son
Manchester, Alcock's home town, de-
sires to have the honor of first well
coming the aviator. but the Air Min
istry officials said it was likely
he would come to London before going
to Manchester. 1t was added that at
any rate two generous receptions
awaited Alcock and Brown.
Few workmen were on duty at the
Vickers plant, where AlQpck's plane
was constructed, but those there
cheered the news. The manager of the
plant said the company always had
had great confidence in Alcock, who
was with the company before the war;.
"We always thought a lot of him
here at the works." said the manager.
He was very popular and the enthu-
siastic way he worked in preparing his
machine inspired us all.
''We do not know Brown so we'll,
but Alcock does know him, and lie had
every confidence in him."
The manager said there was nothing
