'PROH| ENFORCEMENT

INCONSISTENCIES ORG NIZIN G
AGAINST REVENUE OFFICERS.
Enforcement Officer Says 1t Means a
Battle to the Finish Between
Forces.

ATLANTA, Nov. 25-D. j. Ganatt,
recently appointed by the federal
government to supervise prohibition
enforcement to supervise prohibition
enforcement in the southeast, in a
statement to the Prohibition Enforce
ment campaign Committee, declares
that enforcement means a battle to
the finish with a well organized band
of the most desperate of criminals and
yeggmen. The statement says:
"The whiskey interests are well
organized. On account of the enor-
nous profits in the manufacture and
sale of the whiskey it has drawn in
to this traffic the most desperate of
criminals and yeggmen, and it is no
child's play to bring these men to
justice.

stances move in circles and six of my
men now are under arrest for murder
because of having to shoot men who
tried to kill them.

heretofore under the revenue laws,
and it would not be surprising to me
at all if we continue to operate I'M
Ger them instead of the new prshi-
bition law, because the internal rev.
enue laws provide for minimum
penalty and the prohibition laws can
be whitfield down to penalty of even
one cent.
1.-THE force in our territorial division
will consist of number of officers
who will be available for this line Of
work. They will not be restricted to
any special territorial arrangement,
but they can be used where their SER
vices are most needed. When these
officers are not employed on one OF
these cleanups they will be placed at
strategic points ready for instant ac-
ton.
with an appropriation of only ST.
100000 for this work for the fiscal
year 1920 you can readily see that it
is going to be impossible for the Fed
eral government to take over all the
responsibility of enforcing these va
rious laws, and it is going to be nee.

the law, to secure the functions OF

POOR RUSHING TO GET
DIVORCES IN LONDON

LONDON, Nov. 25-A great in
crease in the number of divorce cases
is one of the results in the law courts
of the first year of peace.
II think it will be safe to prophesy."
said one of the leading authorities on
divorces court procedure recently,
chat when the sitting commences the
list of divorce suits will stand at
about 1000 cases."
More than 1000 cases already have
been set down, and the list is far from
complete. Quite a third, and proba-
bly, half, of the total will be "poor
persons" cases, the majority of which
will be undefended.
At last sitting of the court the I'M
defended list comprised 662 cases;
about 400 Of these were left over and
will probably be included in this
terms list.
Mr.. Adrian H. Hassard-Short, Sec
rotary of the London prescribed Off
GERS (poor persons), said that appli-
cations were reaching him at the rate
of twenty day.
"More than $4,000 applicants have
been dealt with" he said, "since the
rules came into force, of whom 80 per
cent have been divorced.

RATS GOING DOWN.
Tampa Will Pay Only Five Cents Per
Head for Them.

TAMPA Nov. 25-Five cents in
stead of ten, as at first announced, is
the price the city will pay to any per-
son delivering a dead rat at the city
incinerating plant. Mayor Mckay,
whose offer of ten cents per rat, for
the city, aroused a lot of enthusiasm
among the boys and some of the
grown-ups of the city a few days
ago, says he was bit over-enthusi-
astic in making the offer-"no but
what l believe it is worth ten cents
a head to the town to be rid of its
rats" says his honor. So the price
is fixed at five cents. City Impoun-
ding Officer Arthur Schlemann, who
has been at the game for several
weeks along the waterfront, has a
loo of traps set and he is fattening
his monthly collections considerably
at the expense of the rodent family.

Those Who Have Seen the Fair Say
It Is Equal to Any.

Palatkans who have already attend
ed the state fair at Jacksonville re-
port that the Putnam County exhibit
is about as good as any seen at the

ed it TO splendid advantages.
One of the chief inadequacies of the
exhibit, it is stated, is the entire alb
sence of creditable citrus frgit ex-
hibit. The location of the Putnam
booth is the best in the agricultural
hall and it is expected that the coun-
ty will receive a great deal of adver-
Using from it.

Daily Health Talks
The Best Way to Treat
Constipation
BY S. c. BABCOCK, NJ. D.

The medical books name many
drugs that will move the bowels.
The drug store shelves are loaded
down with laXatives, purgatives and
pills. The trouble with most OF
them is the after-e effects. Consti-
pated people know that pills work
all right for little while, but they
soon lose their effect, and change
has to be made to something else.
The constant taking of pills results
in a form of bowel inactivity that
is difficult to cure. The system be-
comes so accustomed to laxative
drugs that the organs just won't
work without them, and SO the pill
habit becomes as bad as constipation
itself. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
seems to me to have the right idea.
He says the bowels should first be
gently moved with Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, and in the meantime laXa-
tive foods only should be eaten.
Figs, prunes, olive oil, spinach, bran,
vegetables and fruits are fine for
constipation. Chew every bite thor
oughly, eat little meat, and be as ac-
tive as possible. Now, doesn't that
seem sensible? Pleasant Pellets
will start the bowels working right;
then it is up to you to keep them
right by right eating. Try Pleasant
Pellets for sick headache, coated
tongue, biliousness, dizziness, torpid
liver or to break up a cold. They
are just fine.
DR.. Pierce's Anodyne Pile Oint-
ment soothes, cools and heals piles
in q most gratifying way. Perhaps
there is no other remedy for this
torturing trouble that relieves so
surely and quickly. DIR. Pierce be-
1ieves Anodyne Pile Ointment will
overcome any case that can be over
come by medical treatment. Try it
right now.
DR.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets are
intended for people who suffer from
kidney disorders-whose backs ache,
and whose systems are over-Fun with
uric acid. Nearly everybody has
too much uric acid. Anuric Tab
lets dissolve uric acid quickly, as
they are made double strength.
