HEED OLD ACE
Ounce of Prevention Better Than
Pound of Cure.

1 With influenza again making in
roads into the health of the country,
the old adage, ian ounce of preven-
ton IS better than an pound of cure, !"
never meant more than it does now.
A 3-ounce bottle of DR.. Williams
l0l Tonic will save many pounds
of cure. 101 Tonic contains quinine,
iron and magnesia. This is a proper
combination where cases of colds, la
grippe, fever and malaria, as we'll
as "fu," are to be treated or ward
ed off.
During the influenza epidemic
which covered the country in Octo-
Der, 1918, the sales of 101 Tonic
increased more than 500 per cent.
This proves that 101 Tonic is an eff
fectiye treatment for this disease.
101 Tonic not only treats the dis
ease, but acts as a general tonic.
Get 1O1 Tonic at your drug store
-25e and SOC bottles. Accept no
substitute, for there is no medical
preparation sold which is like DR..

MRS. HARROLD'S ELECTION
PLEASES HER MANY FRIENDS

Mrs. Frank Harrold's election to
the presidency of the Georgia divi-
sion United Daughters of the Con-
federacy was received with enthusi-
asm all over the state but nowhere
with more pride and pleasure than in
her home town of Americas. Her
work in the local chapter is so well
known that it needs no further COM
ment and as a state officer it has
been no less successful. She brings
to the office of president compre-
hensive knowledge of parliamentary
law, splendid executive ability, wide
vision and very magnetic person
atty.
The selection of Mrs. S. H. Mckee
as corresponding secretary was a
very happy one as she is eminently
we'll fitted to discharge the impor-
tant duties of this Office. Altogether
Americas may be congratulated upon
being represented by these two wom-
en- in one of the states largest and
most important organizations.
Mrs. S. C. Collins and Mrs. G.. B.
Johnson, of Ellaville, were recent
visitors in Americas.
Mrs. Howard Linden, of Atlanta,
is the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. w, c.
Sawyer on Hancock avenue.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Duffy, of Ann
Arbor, Mich, are spending several
days in the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Wall, of Or
lando, Fla, were recent visitors in
Americas.

INSPECTION OF
ALL MEATS IN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The sta
bilitv of the live stock and meat in
dustries of this country depends on
DubIie confidence, and until the pub
lie has assurance that all of its meat
- wholesome the work of establish
ing public confidence will be lncom-

of the meat supply is federally in
xneeted and stamped accordingly by
tbe United States department of agrl-
culture. but until something effective
is done toward insuring proper IN
aDegtion of the remaining one-third
which is slaughtered and sold entire

which the national government has
no direct authority, the public as
whole can never feel certain that the

entire meat supply is assured.
These statements were emphasized

Association in session at Atlantic

mortem examinations are made and
IN many cases little assurance was
furnished that condemned meats were
actually withheld from distribution.
Local Inspection Important.
''If your association has not already
taken an active interest in municipal
and state inspection" DR.. Mohler
continued, my remarks would be in
complete, if l did not urge upon you
a close study of the conditions and
problems"
The days of resisting inspection, he
said, are past, as is the idea thatSa
mere pretense of inspection is accept
able to the public The destruction
of condemned meat, he insisted, is no
more wastefQl than condemning the
use of wooden cars in train of steel
cars.
Any inspection worthy of the name,
DR.. Mohler stated, must be thorough
including an examination both before
and after slaughter, and a study of
the organs as well as the meat itself.
Such inspection can be given at low
cost. The bureau of animal industry
maintains its very thorough iuspec-
ton service at cost to the people
of less than six cents for every ami
NAL slaughtered. That amount covers
bo,h ante-mortem and post Hlorten
inspection and the final examination
of the finished product.
Only Interstate Meat Affected.
Federal inspection applies to all
slaughter houses and packing plants
engaged in interstate or export trade.
Where the products of the establish
ment are consumed entirely within
the state the national government has
nc authority to inspect the animals it
daughters or the products sends
out. 1t has been found that federal
inspection covered in 1918, 75:< per
cent. of cattle slaughtered, an in
crease of 1877 per cent over the cor
responding figure in 1914. In the
same period the per capita consump-
ton of beef increased 1873 per cent.
DR.. Mohler thinks that, while the sim
ilarity of the figures may be largely
coincidence, it is logical that federal
inspection of meats has had something
to do with the amount which people
eat. In view of such conditions, he
said, it is obvious from the stand
point of public service that plans
should be made that insure the peo-
pie of the country wholesome meat
and ample supply. He told of wo-
man who recen tyla890 89O$ COS
man who recently appeared before
the city council of San Diego, Calf,
which was debating changes in local
meat regulations. She told the coun-
Gil there were three reasons why she
did not want to see anything but gov
eminent inspected meat in San Diego,
and thereupon introduced her three
children to the council. She explain
ed that Uncle Sam demanded fed
eral inspected meat for his soldiers
and sailors and that her children were
just as valuable to her as Uncle Sans
were to him.

FURTHER REFLECTION ON THE
RAGE PROBLEM
By III. man on the corner

Il ~ 80 ------ - - 49, "A
To The Editor of The Broad AKA.
1t is much easier to tell a man that
he is dying of consumption or Brights-
disease than It is to tell him what viii
cure him. This problem Of having
two peoples of widely differing "a.
cial traits, OCCUPYING the same terri
tory and each standing theoretically
equal before the law, is never quite
to be solved in our day and genera
ton. The European National Groups
not differing so widely in race, as
do the whites and blacks on this con-
tinent, find themselves eternally at
war for the intangible something cal
led equality, not only before the law,
but of opportunity in the great strug-
gle of life. As closely akin as are
the Norwegians and Swedes the pro
blem Of race came up TO- them so
violently, as to make it necessary to
sever the relations Of the ancient
kingdoms and make them two in
stead Of one, as they had been. The
inhabitants Of Norway charged that
the Swedes looked down upon them
in a way, and were indisposed to
grant them that fun and equal OBJ
pOrtunity which every human beag
longs for at heart. The people dwell
ling in the Southern part of Europe
are known all over the earth as the
+freest from race prejudice. and more
cosmopolitan in character than any
other of the sons of men. The Latin
races show no signs of anti back race
feeling, unless educated by the Sax
on, the Celt and the Teuton. It may
be that there is kinship which comes
from the slow mingling of blood in
centuries gone The great poet said
tina. "Caesar hath brought many cap
tives home to Rome whose ransoms
did the general Golfers ILL.," Some of
those capttyes were from Africa, and
in the two thosand years since this
wonderful soldier returned from his
race conquering expeditions abroad,
these black eaptives have disappeared,
and it is probable that they have
melted into the natives that dwell
along the banks of the. Mediterranean.

to be so greatly feared and by some

But facts are stubborn things. The
white races of the earth do not take
kindly to the darker races as rivals,
either in the making of laws the
writing Of songs, or the carving of
stones. They find fault with their
progress, and as soon as opportunity
offers, legislate to keep them out and
limit the sphere of all their activities
and usefulness. In the case of the
Jap, the two great Saxon peoples,
the English, represented by the Ca
nadians and Australians have been
willing to allow them to dig down the
mountains and to fell the forests, but
they have prescribed the spheres in

neer days Of every community, and
as soon as he is thru with his burden,
the bars are put up-and but for
sentiments Of humanity, Punishment
would be the portion Of the Brown

the part Of hundreds of half read

acy rs well as existence Of the white
