THE STRIKE

And municipalities must get the con-
sent of the Legislature before they can
make and sell light and power to their
people.
When striking workmen block street
car tracks, Mr.. Atkinson does not joke.
He calls for the police.
But when Mr.. Atkinson himself, in
public service, goes on strike, and blocks
the labor of power equivalent to that of
1882 900 men and informs the Board of
Arbitration, the Railroad Commission
that all capital will strike until the pow
er companies get their price.
The Board of Arbitration is helpless.
And it is hopeless to call for the po-
lice
But it is time for the public to note
the zone big union" of private corpora
tions engaged in exploiting the water
powers given by God to Georgia.
Mn Atkinson, with his delicious sense
of humor, is too good sportsman to in
sist that Georgia and her people should
keep their hands tied behind their backs
in struggle with such union.
The rope should be removed from our
wrists.
The State should have the power to
do that which Mr.. Atkinson advises, if
the Power Companies cannot be salts
fled, is the only thing to do

PROTECT
YOUR MOUTH
That's Where Germs Get In.
Once Inside, They Multiply On
The Warm, Moist Mem
Wrinse Mouth Mouth Daily With
Steroline

Did YOU know that by far the
most of the germs that attack your
bodv, get in through the mouth
Any breath through the mouth may
take in hundreds of germs. They
find a resting place inside the mouth.
Sometimes they attack the teeth.
1t is now an established fact that
tooth decay, and the most terrible
form of gum disease, notably Pyor-
rhoea, is condition aggravated by
germs.
Another kind of germ gets carried
into the stomach and causes other
kinds of trouble. Other germs go
through the windpipe and bronchial
tubes to the lungs.
1t is fairly safe to say that just
one single breath of average impure
air will let more germs into your
BODY than a cut with knife or
scratch from a needle.
Yet people who hurry to disinfect
a cut will neglect to disinfect the
mouth-or the oral cavity, as the
physicians and dentists call it.
Mouth disinfection. which means
killing germms that have lodged IN
the mouth and around the teeth is a
simple matter. At any drug store
YOU can buy bottle of Steroline, a
mouth wash that Immediately and
completely destroys every germ II
touches. Steroline is a new product,
but its formula, printed on the label,
shows it to be an antiseptic toilet
preparation of unquestioned value.
Rinse your mouth thoroughly with
Steroline, especially after eating. and
YOU can breathe freely and fear little;
Your teeth will be protected and
YOU will be less subject to throat in
Examinations and current epidemics.
Steroline is sold and recommended
bv ali druggists, at SOC bottle. 1t
IS always presented in strictly ethi-
cal manner. Teach your children to
support the work the dentist does Y and md
avoid contagion and future ills by
daily rinsing and gargling with Steroo-
line. auV
