period of the Civil war, the Republican
members of the United States Sen

president his faults and what to do
with his tottering administration. Sen
ator John Sherman was decidedly Of
the opinion that the president had mel

and said he would go and tell him so
If he thought it would do any good.
The man in the White House, in the
practically unanimous opinion Of the
members Of the United States Senate,

whelmed by responsibilities which far
nvcrtaxed his abilities, but who might

HOW NEURALGIA
PAINS VANISHED

This is what short course OF treat
ment did for Connecticut woman
who had suffered for months from
neuralgia complicated with lndiges-
ton.
Like so many others she did not
realize that the neuralgia was due, IN
n large measure. to the failure of the
blood to carry food enough TO the
nerves. The nerves get their nour-
ishment from the blood but if the
blood is thin, as is the case III people
who have been afflicted with lntlu-
enza, rheumatism, anemia and hard
colds, the nerves are undcrnourished
and the entire nervous system is up
set.

You Can Learn a Lot
From ADVERTISING

The main thing an advertiser wants to do is to tell
YOU plainly just how andwhy his goods are worthy
Of vour consideration. You can learn great deal
from that alone because many things you see adj
vertised are the things you buy and use in your
regular daily life. By reading the advertise
ments, you can learn the names and read descrip-
tons of the things that are best and most satsfac
tory.

 Residence of Slain Man
By Associatea Press

Macon, Ga, December 4.-Proceedings began at Fort Valley today seeking to investigate the entire estate of the late Alfred Shepard, father of Fred D. shep-
 ard, investigation of whose death has led to four arrests.
 P. H. Skelley, tax receiver of Houston
 county, served 20-day notice on the
 heirs of Alfred Shepard, requiring them to make return of personal property for tax at once. No return has been made, the statement alleges. It is thought this means, it is said by State Tax Agent J. F. Roberts, acting on authority fron, Governor Dorsey and under the state tax law, that the state hopes to recover Sl76,OOO in taxes
 In his loans in 15 states it is alleged that Alfred Sfephard gave eight differ ent states as his residence. Georgia tax officials claim that his real residence was in Houston county, and that he dld not have a home in California, as he
 declared in Los Angeles in 1918. The notices were served on Louis l.. Brown, administrator of the estate of All fred Shepard Lewis; l.. Brown, adminis, trator of the will of Fred D. Shepard; Mrs. Alice Crandall, daughter of Alfred Shepard and sister of Fred D. Shepard;
 Mrs. Alice Crandall, as guardian of Da-

secretary is opposed to the functioning of the corporation.
 Prominent southern senators, including McKellar of Tennessee, Heflin of Ala bama, Dial of South Carolina and Smith of Georgia, are convinced that the moral effect of the restoration of the war finance corporation would have sufficient weight to relieve the farmers of present and future distress. It is their belief that those who exploit the farmers will hesitate in face of the announcement by the government that it stands ready to assist the farmers. Other plans are in contemplation, these including the exten- sion of credit to Germany, and reduc- ton in the interest charges of banks of the federal reserve system.
 Senator Dial of South Carolina de- clared today that he would discuss the situation in the Senate next week, and that he would very freely criticise Gle attitude of the Secretary of the Treas ury He stated that he would read a let ter sent by him prior to the election to President Wilson in which he expressed the opinion that Secretary Houston was winning more votes for the republican ticket than Senator Harding and the en- tire republican eligarchy.

FARRELL SUICIDES
Prominent Atlanta Wholesale Jeweler
 Is Found Dead
Rv Associated prcss

Atlanta, December 4-Alfred R. Har- rell, president of the Atlanta Wholesale Jewelry company, and prominent in At lanta's social life, committed suicide by shooting himself, according to the coroner's jury, which late today com pleted it's investigation.
 MT. Harrell was found dead in the stock room of his office here shortly after arriving at the office this morn ing. Testimony at the inquest was that he had been in i'll health and despond- ent for some time. Mrs. Edith St. John Harrell, divorcee whom he had re- gently married, told the jury that something happened" about fortnight ago to cause his depression, but she had been unable to find out what it was.
 Mrs. R. D. Hudson, divorced wife of MT. Harrel1, was one of the first to rush to his office when his death became known, and also attended the inquest. Her brother, Ed Lee Wight, and MT. HarreIl were business partners, the es- arrangement between husband and wife apparently not affecting the relations between the two men.
