DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY L, W, BOWER, N. d.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, YOU
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and IN the other you get q flower of
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium "a dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries Of Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo.
N. Y, long since found out what is
naturally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
of cases. The result of his studies was q
medicine called DR.. Pierce's Fayorite
Prescription. This medicine is made of
vegetable growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir-
Irregularities, pelvic infammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages of life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made Of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
eohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription they are getting safe woman's
tonic SO good that druggists everywhere
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence OF every woman In America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he 6rsr
made this standard medicine, that wEiskey
and morphine are injurious, and 50 he has
always kept them out of his remedies.
Send 1Oc to DIR. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. for trial pkg. Tablets.

meetings to be held in all counties
when the cotton growers will be urg-
ed to sign pledges to stand together
in the interest of the South and them
selves on all of the issues involving
the selling end of the cotton industry
]. ]. Brown, state commissioner OF
agriculture, presided at the meeting
which convened at II o'clock. eastern
time. and continued until 3 O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon, Governor Dorsey
who was to have presided was delay
ed and did not reach Macon in time
to attend the meeting.
With preamble condensed the reso-
buttons adopted are as follows:
After reviewing the impa1ring effect
of the embargo ON cotton, and the
lack of shipping facilities described
as "a deep laid conspiracy against the
welfare of the cotton farmer, assert
ing that the farmer is entitled to a
margin CT profit and that on account
of the operations Of spectators and
gamblers the price Of the staple has
been driven down below the actual
cost of production, the body of the
first resolution reads:
HOLDING RESOLUTION.
Resolved, that we hereby pledge
ourselves not to sell pound of
cotton at a less price than 35
cents per pound, basis middling.
Resolved further, that we call
upon the farmers of Georgia and
the entire South to stand by this
resolution and to perfect same
that they not only refuse to sell
for less price, but that they re-
duce their acreage at least 33 1-5
per cent. and curtail the purchase
of commercial fertilizers at least
SO IL per cent. for the 1919 cot
ton crop.
Resolved, that the reduction OF
cotton acreage by 33 1-3 per cent.
is just as important at this time
as was the sale of Liberty Bonds
by the government during it's war,
this convention urges the same
thorough and definite organization
of the cotton growers in each
county as was effected for Iiber-
ty Bonds and Red Cross cam
paigns. To that end we recon-
mend tho appointment by the
commissioner of agriculture OF a
chairman in every county to Sc
cure working committee, hold
farmers meetings in every dis
trict, sign up pledges for reduc-
ton as stipulated and create a
sentiment in favor of reduction;
it is important that the cotton
farmers be true to one another
stacking on the government dur
ing the war.
Resolved: That this convention
urge the cotton farmers to follow
the plan of Investigation already
so effectively begun; markets are
now available for practically all
produce and this Investigation
is what has given the South the
ability and the grit to demand
profit on its cotton.
Resolved: That this convention
call upon the governor of Geor-
gia to name February 10 as the
day for statewide county meet
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-02-07

ings to secure pledges and take
other steps necessary to effect
this reduction.
Resolved: That we urge upon
the cotton farmer the importance
of sheltering his cotton while
holding it. Exposing cotton to
the weather will severely damage
it, run down the grade and lower
the price, discouraging all holding
in the future.
ASK REMOVAL OF BLOCKADE.
The second resolution adopted sets
forth in preamble that since the ar
mistice has been signed and that the
military authorities advised President
Wilson several weeks ago that Ger
many is helpless to renew the war
therefore be it
Resolved: That We urge the
President of the United States by
cable to insist upon the immediate
removal of the iron blockade Of
the Central Empires, as that
blockade has fully served its pur-
poses and outlived its useful
ness.
That the President also be uFg-
ed to provide at once shipping
facilities for the removal of cot
ton.
The third resolution after pointing
out in the preamble that New York
and other cotton exchanges are not
legitimate and their existence is a
menace to the prosperity of the
South, and whereas legislation so far
has failed to curtail cotton future
gambling, the text continues:
Resolved:
F'irst-That we call upon our
senators and representatives in
congress TO introduce and pass
more stringent measures regulat-
ing the New York and all other
cotton exchanges.
Second-That in said legislation
it shall be provided that before
any person or firm offer to sell
cotton on the New York exchange
they shall file with the secretary
or bookkeeper of said New York
cotton exchange an affidavit show
ing where said cotton is depos-
tied and the grade of each baie
Third-That said New York cot
ton exchange shall publish from
day to day the number of bales
offered for sale and the number
of sales actually consummated,
and the names of the parties buy
ing and selling. and also show
ing where the actual cotton is
located
Fourth-That the books and
business of the said New York
exchange shall at all times be I'M
der the inspection and control of
the United States government,
through its duly appointed agents,
and that it shall be also provided
in said legislation that if any per-
son or firm shall make a false
affidavit, that the same shall be a
crime to be punished by fine or
Imprisonment, or both.
The final resolution which calls up
on the representatives in congress to
enact a law requiring delivery of ac-
tual grade cotton bargained for on
exchanges, follows:
Resolved: That this conven-
ton condemn the practice of the
New York cotton exchange ten
dering nine grades of cotton on
middling contracts; we demand of
our representative in congress
that the law regulating this ex-
change be so amended as to re-
quire delivery of the actual grade
contracted for on any exchange.
BANKS WILL AID.
A telegram from Joseph A. McCord,
governor of the Federal Reserve bank
of Atlanta, pledging the aid of the
system to farmers through the mem
Der banks in the state was read and
received with applause. The mes
sage follows:
