NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for a
$3,0O0,0OO bond issue for educational
work in Georgia, and principally to
provide funds sufficient for the prompt
payment of her public school teach
ers, are contained in the annual re-
port of Prof. M. l.. Britain, state SUI
perintendent of public school, which
will be submitted to the next legisla-
ture. AS a proof of the absolute me-
cessity of this action on the part OF
the state government, Professor Brit
tain calls attention to the fact that
the schools and teachers lose $50,
900 in discount and interest charges
which are taken from the educaEional
fund annually. Formerly it was more,
he continues, but the passage OF the
act in 1915 allowing the governor to
borrow funds in the name OF the
state, lessened the interest charges.
This means that appropriations Tor
this purpose are reduced by just this
amount each year. The reason for
this is, of course the fact that when
the system was established the schools
were put in operation at the begin
ming of the year, while the taxes for
their support were not collected until
late in the fall.

There are millions of people who
suffer almost daily from the horrors
Of an acid-stomach-indig sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heartburn
sickening food-repeating painful
bloat and that miserable, pulled up,
lumpy feeling after eating. Many of
these people have tried treatment after
treatment; medicine after medicine
others have gone to doctors and stom-
ach specialists and some to hospitals,
but In spite of all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or a
permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid
stomach. If allowed to run on, they
are very likely to cause a lot of seri-
Gus trouble. Dyspepsia, rheumatism,
govt, lumbago, sciatiea, splitting head
ache, dizzy spells, nervousness, sleep
lessness, mental depression, melan-
cholia, feeling of listlessness and
l-goneness-these are just few Of
the disorders which can be traced to
acid-stomach. AS matter of fact,
acid-stomach is often the direct cause
of those almost incurable conditions
known as catarrh Of the stomach, in
testinal ulcer, and cancer of the stCm-
ach. The lives of those who suffer
from these serious troubles are moth
ing short of daily agony. Surely,
then, you must see how important it
Is to go at once to the seat Of the
trouble - acid-stomach. You know
