Bratton, the commander of the gen
eral hospital, from the war depart
ment in Washington, with instructions
that he should pin them on the two
officers and read the citations. The
ceremony took place in the Rer Cross
house at the fort, and among the little

the Flu
Fever or Cold
Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons
Out of the Digestive Tract

Millions are now suffering from the
sfter effects of the deadly "hu,"
fever or a cold. Their appetites are
poor; they are weak, and they are
waiting for their strength to come back.
If these people could only realize
that the return to health and strength
would be greatly helped by giving at
tention to the stQmach-thati is, remov-
ing the acidity and toxic poisons from
the entire digestive tract, making it
act naturally, so that the body will
receive the full strength of the food
eaten-a great deal of suffering would
be saved to humanity.
Everyone knows that the disease it
self, and the strong medicines that
have beer taken, upset the stomach,
leave it hot and feverish, the mouth
dry, the tongue coated, nasty taste,
and no desire to eat. This is a poor
foundation to build new strength on.
Now, tens of thousands of people all
over this country are using EATONIC
for the purpose of cleaning these
poisonous after-efects right out of the
system and they are obtaining wonder
full results-so wonderful that the
amazingly quick benefits are hardly
belevable, just as shown in the re-
markable letter which is published
upon the request of this sturdy old Civil
War veteran. He is n years old. Read
what he says EATONIC did for him:

INCOME TAX
INFORMATION
~~~0~~~~~~~~7~~~O~~-~-~-o ~-o-~-~-~~~O~~o~>o-~~~
BY A. o. BLALOCK.
Collector of Internal Revenue For
Georgia.
ARTICLE II.


Surtax rates, which apply to incomes
in excess of $4,000; are changed by
the new revenue bill.
Under the current act, the rate is 1
per cent. on the net income in excess
of $4,000. and not over $4,000, and in
creases by steps of l per cent. for
each $4,000 of net income up to and
including 48 pier cent. on net incomes
in excess of $98,000, and not over
100000. From this point the rates
run as follows: So per cent. on net
income over 100000, and not over
$150,000; Sc per cent. on net income
over $150,0O0, and not over 5000, 900; !;
60 per cent. on net income over $780,
900, and not over 100000; 63 per cent.
on net incomes over 100000 and not
over 100000; "a per cent. on net in
comes over 100000 and not over ST.
100000, and 60 per cent on net in
comes over $1,OO0,00O.
Under the acts in force in 1917, the
surtax rates ranged from l per cent.
on the amount of net income over
$4,000, and not over $500, to 63 per
cent on the net income above $1,000,-
600.
The following illustration will show
the average taxpayer how to compute
his income tax:
A single man had net income for
1918 of $4,000. First, he deducts his
personal exemption of $1,000, leaving
a balance of $4,000 On the first s4,-
Geo he pays at the normal rate of 6
per cent, $240. On the remaining ST.
600 he pays the normal rate of IL per
cent, $120. In addition, he pays sur
tax of $40, 1 per cent on the amour;
of his income between $4,000 and Sc,
900. His total tax is 1870.
A married man with two dependents
had a net income for 1918 of $500
From this he deducts his personal ex-
emption OF $4,000, plus 5000 for each
dependent. On the first $4,000 OF
the remaining balance of SIS,
100, he will pay, at the normal rate OF
6 per cent, $240 On the remaining
81, 100 he will pay, at the normal rate
of 12 per cent, 1882. On the amount
of his income between $4,000 and
$4,000, he pays a surtax of 1 per cent.
or $40. On the amount of his income
between $4,000 and $500, he says a
surtax of per cent, or $50. The to-

doctors but got no relief. As a last

P. g.: If you can make any Use
OF this letter for suffering humanity,
you are at liberty to do so. C.S,M.
This is only one case out of thousands.
You should make the EATONIC test
in your own case at once. You have
everything to gain-not penny can
you lose, for we take all the risk. Your
own common sense, your own feelings,
tell you that good appetite, good di-
gestion, good stomach, with the fever
poisons and effects of strong medicines
out of your system, will put you on the
road to strong, robust health again.
You want to enjoy life again after
you have battled with the 'hu" fever
or colds, or any other illness that has
taken your strength. You want to get
back your old-time vigor, be full of pep
and enthusiastically able to work with
ease, instead of listlessly, half-heart-
edly dragging out a mere existence.
Sobe sure to take box OF EATONIC
home with you today. We cannot urge
this too strongly. If EATONIC fails
to give you positive beneficial results,
it will not cost you a penny. There is no
risk-the benefit is surely all for you.

ROADS SESSION
DECISION WAITS
ON WASHINGTON

ATLANTA, Feb. 27.-Following a
telegram from Washington announcing
that an important meeting affecting
the distribution of federal funds in
Georgia will be held there Saturday,
Governor Hugh Dorsey stated late
Wednesday that he would reserve his
decision calling on extra session of
the legislature for good roads until
next week.
The Washington wire was sent by
W. T. Winn, president of the Automo-
bile Association of the State of Geor-
gia, who went directly to Washington
Tuesday from the state capitol, where
he spoke in the interest of an extra
session, as follows:
Urge you to reserve decision in re-
gard to special session until next week
Important meeting here Saturday on
the subject of federal policy of the dis
tribution of road funds. Direct bear
ing on Georgia work"
On Wednesday, Governor Dorsey
continued to hear arguments both for
and against an extra session for the
enactment of highway legislation.
The majority of the extra session
advocates left Wednesday for their
respective homes, feeling that every
angle Of the question had been COM
pletely covered at the all-day meeting
Of Wednesday.

SURPLUS ARMY
PROPERTY HELD
OFF MARKETS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. .)-All army surplus prop
erty will not be thrown on the open
market. A plan has been worked out
whereby it will be offered for sale to
the state institutions. It is hoped thus
to prevent the flooding of the market
with finished material and at the same
time offer the state institutions an op-
portunity for providing employment
for inmates. AS soon as the states
notify the Waste Reclamation Service
of the Department of Commerce of
their needs the request will be turned
over to the War Department for action.
Captain H. l.. Baldensperger has been
assigned by the War Department to
assist in the work of the Waste Re-
clamation Service
This program has been worked out
by Hugh Frayne, chairman of the La
Dor Division, War Industries Board,
who says:
I'm cooperation with John J. Man
ming of the American Federation of
Labor and Captain Baldensperger, who
has been executive of a prison re-
form association. l have sponsored a
movement for nationwide system of
reclamation by means of the labor of
the inmates of the public institutions
AS preliminary to this program we
worked for a system of rec amation in
the army whereby this work was to be
done by prisoners of war, general
prisoners and men unfit for line duty.
THE success of the salvage actiyi-
ties of the army strengthens my be-
lief that a similar system should be
adopted by the states. We have rec
commended that the army material be
repaired by the inmates fo rthe use
of the institutions and in order to sue
cesfsully dispose of this material and
to insure it's widest distribution pos
sible, we have requested the governors
of the states to appoint a board to
handle the matter in each state and to
make an inventory of the needs of
their institutions. AS soon as the
state notifies the Waste Reclamation
Service of their needs, Captain Baden
sperger will take up the matter to as
certain if the same is available 1t
will not the function of the Waste Re
clamation Service to make the actual
sale but to stimulate the demand and
to make suggestions as to the method
of salvaging the material"

THE GRAND OLD COM
- =. =, PANY'S ANNIVERSARY

On February first, seventy,six years
ago, The Mutual Life insurance Com
pany of New York came into being ;
at least, the first policy was issued by
the Company on the first of February,
1843. It was in the previous year,
1912, that number of gentlemen re.
siding in New York City got together
and organized a life insurance COM
pany on the mutual plan. Since that
time the Mutual Life has paid to poll
cyholders and their bene1ciaries the
enormous sum of 1,473, 900, 10000, be-
Ing an average of $19,381, 100000 per
year, $64,000.00 per business day, 49,
10000 for every working hour of ev-
cry business day, 1898 for every
minute, and 1922 for every second.
While official figures have not been
received for 1918 the insurance in
force at this time doubtless exceeds
$1,000, 000, 900, and the assets of the
Company must be nearly $3.50, 000, 900.
81 Throughout the seventy-six years
the Company has led in great many
ways. For instance: Its mortality
experience was used largely in the
construction of the American Expert
ence Table of Mortality, which is now
used as basis for practically all of
the life insurance companies doing
business in this country. In addition
to this, the Company has been first to
adopt nearly all Of the more impor-
tant features used today in life insur-
ance operation.
One of the Company's new and at
tractive policies is advertised else
where in this issue.-Adv.
