DO YOU REALIZE
YOU MAY BE One
Nine Out of Ten Said to be
Slowly Poisoning Own
System.

Few realize what an enormous num-
Der of people among those who live in
such localities as this suffer from auto
intoxication," said the Tanlac Man.
This condition is nothing more or less
than the self-poisoning of vital organs
and is the foundation of most ailments
and diseases.
When the organs become nervous
and debiiitated they are unable to throw
off the accumulations of waste matters
because they are weak. The putrefac-
tive germs set in and the sufferer finally
succumbs to poisons generated within
his own system. Jaundice, hard cold,
constipation, indigestion, biIousness, head
aches, backache, diarrhoea, nervousness,
dizziness and arrangements of the stom-
ach and bowels are common symptoms
OF this trouble"
Tanlac, which is 50 wide in its field
of usefulness, so certain are the results,
so quick and 80 thorough are its bene-
fetal effects that the preparation seems
more like miracle than like medicine,

WASHINGTON.-Silk is coming

is explained by the fact that there

the demand is strong and the better
class of hose is a most formidable
competitor for cotton hose, cotton

But it doesn't make much difference
nowadays how much raw commodl-
ties come down, as as most of the
price of everything is profit.

PEACH CROP ONLY
ABOUT $500 CARS
GROWERS REDUCE BY HALF
ESTIMATES OF 800 CARS
MADE EARLY IN SEASON

According to present Indications
the 1920 peach crop will be 1927 cars
short of the estimate made by the
Georgia Fruit Exchange at the Begin
ming of the season, and 2,677 cars less
than 1875 car shipment, peach men
say. At the beginning of the season
100 cars were considered a conserva-
tive estimate, but with, the movement
already 1891 cars less than last year
it is believed that 4,673 cars is the
maximum number that will be shipped
from Georgia this year. The total
number Of cars shipped in 1917 was
1850.
The Georgia Bellies will! be 100 cars
short of the 1900 estimate, and the
EIbertas will be 1880 cars less the
1900 estimate, peach men state. Geor-
gia Bellies are bringing $3.50 to 81 a
crate, and Elbertas are quoted at $2.5O
to $3.50.
The largest shipment for the year
was Saturday, when 220 cars were
moved
Can't Sell Bellies.
Peach growers are unable to tlnd
much of a local market for their
Georgia Bellies, which are being ship
ped this week. Visiting growers say
the commission merchants with few
exceptions have left for their north
ern homes and the growers are hav-
ing to consign most of their fruit.
The cause of the departure of so
many of the buyers is the bad carry
ing qualities of the peaches shipped
so far.
The only peach man making money
this wear will be the man who sold by
the basket or sold his crop by the
crate f. O. b. the loading track. The
canning factories are having big
year. They are being offered the
remainder of the crops of a great
many of the growers at small price
and are usirg as much of the crop as
possible to handle.
If the showers continue for two or
three days very little of the Elberta
crop. which is far below normal. will
be picked and the fruit will be left on
the trees to rot.
