Movement to Amend
Constitution onAgain

ATLANTA, February 15.-Advocates
of a constitutional convention to frame
new constitution for Georgia will
probably renew their efforts in that
direction at the forthcoming session
of the legislature. Resolutions pro-
viding for constitutional conventions
have been introduced in the legisla-
ture every year for several years, but
have never made much Roadway. At
the present time, however. there
seems to be strong sentiment for
progress abroad in the state.
The people realize that the checks
and hindrances of the present consti-
tuition, which was adopted in the re-
construction period, are entirely m-
suited to modern conditions. Under
her constitution, for instance, Geor>
gia cannot expend a dollar for high
ways or any other internal improve
ments. This was put in the constitu-
ton to prevent the carpet baggers
from saddling the state with graft-rid-
den schemes rampant in the recon-
struction period. 1t is no longer
necessary.

DRINK HOT WATER
IF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vious days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is alb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ALI
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which If not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow Of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In
it, which is harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
owels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
efore putting more food into the stom-
1ch
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid COM
plexion, also thC5o who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

CROOKED HORSE DEALS
IN HUN DECENTRALIZATION

MUNICH Correspondents of The
Associated Press. THE returning and
demobiliizng armies here, in great
part, come quietly home, put down
their arms and disband without trou-
BILE. A small percentage of the unduly
element, such as compose the Lieb-
neutrality-suspicious. anarchistic group,
however, has made as much trouble
as possible, and has shown special
fondness for crooked horse deals.
The Peasants Council of Munich
makes public report to show that
hundreds of returning soldiers have
been permitted to keep horse as a
souvenier. The permission naturally
does ont come from the military au-
thorities but from underlings and the
soldiers have then put the animals
thus secured on the market at ridicu-
lous prices.
One regiment that should have had
500 horses returned with but 80, the
rest having been sold, in many cases,
it is feared, for slaughter-an easy
way of concealing all traces The city
authorities recently confiscated 81 ami
mails that had been sold in this under

trian government expressing hope
that the existence and liberty of the
independent state of German Austria
will be recognized by the civilized
world and a place assured it in the
society Of nations. The note defines
German Austria as ''internal Austria
with German Syria, German Tyrol,
German Carinthina and the German
districts of northern Bohemia. The
new republic, it is added, wishes to
enter into relations with all civilized
nations as soon as possible.
If Czecho-Slovakia were to include
the above-named regions, it would be
no lasting advantage to it, the note
said; it would be reconstituting an
cient Austria with an amalgam Of
peoples.
The note demands plebiscite for
towns almost exclusively German,
such as Marburg, Hadkersburg, Ella
genfurt, Villach, Bozen and Brunecki
It asserts that the young republic
must form part either of the Danube
by union with other
newborn states, or be attached to
Germany, and then gives reason
against the former course, declaring
hat an attachment with Germany is
he only possibility.
The German Austrian government
