DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

II YOU are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull dizzy headache; or, If your
meals sour and turn into gas and
,cids. you have a real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink glass OF hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
YOUR stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject TO sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound OF lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning In
side-bath. 1t is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
siastic and keep it up daily. 1t is
splendid health measure for it is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impure
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
it, Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and q teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.

THE COTTON CROP OF 1920

I per acre or nearly 100 per cent more
than was produced on Georgia farms.
The Texas acreage last year was IL
$4,000 and the production ALSO, l9/
bales, or an average yield OF lint per
acre of 100 pounds 1t required little
over 81 acres OF land in Georgia last
wear to produce a 500-l5. bale of cot
ton. slightly more than ~ acres in
Texas and slightly over IA acres in
South Carolina. The old Tar Heel
state OF North Carolina still retains
the leadership in maximum yield OF
lint cotton per acre. The acreage last
year in North Carolina was l,55o,0OO
acres and the production 936,5S2, max
ing an average yield of lint per acre
Of 293 pounds.
Comparative Acreage Data.
The total cotton acreage planted
throughout the cotton growing area
of the United States in 1920 amounted
to 35,504,0O0 acres. The total produc-
ton as recorded from the gin returns,
amounted to 13,365,754 bales equiva
lent to 500 pounds each and an aver
age yield of 1873 pounds per acre
throughout the whole belt. The largest
acreage ever planted was in 1913, with
total area of 37,089,000 acres and a
production OF 13,982,811 bales. The
largest crop ever grown was in 1914,
amounting to 15,905,840 bales harvest
ed over an area that year OF 36,832, 600
acres. This was slightly in excess of
the second largest crop produced IN
1911, amounting to 15,533,O52 bales on
total acreage of 36,045 900 acres. The
first great cotton crop ever produced
in the south was in 1904 when the
Weld went to 13,451, 1897 bales on
planted area of 30,G53,739 acres. An
examination OF the average prices re-
ceived by the growers for cotton har-
vested in these years of big crops, in
dictates heavy penalty in the form OF
low prices. The average prices were
around six to seven cents per pound
which was considerably less than the
cost of production. The farmers can
CLEAN useful lesson from these facts
for guidance in the future, because
history always repeats itself in the al
fairs of men, Study the laws OF sup
ply and demand before planting and
then regulate the acreage to meet the
needs OF the world for cotton. The
man who CANDLES too much with cot
ton will be certain to find the sheriff
headed his way sooner or later
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1921-05-17

In this connection II IS interesting
to note that last year the states west
OF the Mississippi river produced l.
240,234 bales, while the old cotton
states east of the river harvested only
l5.957,541 bales, which gave to the
southwest 81 per cent OF the cotton
production in the United States. In
1918 the total crop amounted to H.
900, 480 bales and the states west OF
the Mississippi river produced 4,9Z0,-
.793 bales or about Al per cent OF the
total, while the old states harvested
6,985,687 bales or SO per cent of the
crop.
Within the past two years the west
ern states have increased their COM
parative production IS per cent and
now have the leadership which is like
w to be held in the future. 1t is inter
esting to note that for the first time
in the history of cotton production
South Carolina forges to second place,
which has been heretofore held by
Georgia. In 1920 Georgia produced
only l,446,577 bales, while South Car
DINA harvested and ginned 1859, 40
bales besides leaving many thousands
of bales in the field unpicked. In 1920
Georgia farmers planted 100000
acres while South Carolina farmers
planted only 100000 acres. The yield
of lint cotton in Georgia per acre in
1920 was only l42 pounds while in
South Carolina for the same year the
average yield amounted to I'll pounds

DRINK HOT TEAL

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring
It is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive

SLACKERS GOT
AMERICAN GOLD
FUGITIVE DRAFT DODGERS
MOTHER HELPED AGENT
TAKE 1T FROM TREASURY.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Mrs
Emma c. Bergdoll, mother of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, wealthy draft
dodger, and friend actually obtained
S105,00O in gold from the treasury IN
the fall of 1919, the house committee
investigating Bergdoll's escape learn
ed today. This fact was established
through w. L. Alexander, a clerk in
the treasury department, but from
there the trail was not uncovered by
the committee to the buried pot in
the mountains OF Maryland.
lanes Romig, formerly police
magistrate OF Philadelphia, and now
awaiting sentence on conviction OF
conspiracy to aid Bergdoll in evading
the draft, was the agent, Alexander
said, through whom $4,000, the first
batch of gold. was obtained and cart
ed away. On his second trip to Wash
ington Romig was accompanied by
Mrs. Bergdoll, the slacker's mother,
also awaiting sentence for conspiracy,
and together they drove to Philadel-
phia with 100000 in gold tucked safely
beneath their feet.
Got Only $4,000 at First.
When he made his first visit to the
treasury Romig found clerks unwill-
ing to turn over even SZO,OOO on their
own responsibility, and, Alexander
said. Romig fumed and fretted about
the corridors until his application was
laid before r c. Leffingwell, then as
sistant secretary, and approved. This
amount was given in exchange Tor
gold certificates, but once it had been
placed within an automobile IN the
shadow OF the treasury building, Ro-
mig went back for more. There was
some delay, according to the witness,
clerks refusing to make a second ex-
change on the one order, but in the
end Romig got it.
Three weeks after his first visit Ro-
mig returned with Mrs. Bergdoll. 1t
was brought out that at the very
moment the woman was at the treas
urv big posters were displayed every
where offering a reward for the cap
ture OF Bergdoll the deserter.
Approved 100000 Withdrawal.
Romig, satisfied with the results OF
his first trip, pushed bundle OF bills
almost as big as a boy, through the
wicket window; and after some delay,
Alexander said, and with the approval
of the treasurer, struggled down the
corridors with more gold than a steve
dore could lift-$60,000, mostly Gag les.
What became OF the treasure after
the Romig- Bergdoll party left Wash
ington was not brought out at the
session today.

Washington, ID. C.. Jan. II. !
The first year of national prohibition
cost the Government approximately
$3.50. OO0. 900 in the loss of revenue and
the price paid for the enforcement of
the Volstead law, according to un-
official figures available to-day at the
Treasury Department.
This does not consider loss TO differ
ent States in saloon licenses and spe-
cial taxes. Certain officials are of the
opinion that the Eighteenth Amend
ment shut off more than 81 00,oo0,o00
in contribution to Government opera
ton, both State and national.
So far as the Government is concerned
the internal revenue received for the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1919, on dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes
taxes amounting TO s276.5s5, ,4S7. The
institution of the Eighteenth Amend
rnent put an end TO this source of reve-
nue.. Had the amendment not been in
effect during the year just ended there
is no reason to doubt an equal amount
would have been received.
The total cost OF prohibition enforce
ment on the part OF the Government
amounted to about s5.40O.000 for the
year. although as at present organized
the service Is costing $1,000. 900 year.
Because the organization was not so
complete at the outset there was a saw
ing for the year.
II is estimated that penalties assessed
by the prohibition service amounted 70
$1,000, 900 for the year-penalties for
violation OF the law as distinguished
from fines imposed in cases handled by
the Department of Justice. or which there
Is no definite record These fines are
entered az miscellaneous items. but Il
II assumed they totalled s1.000.000. The
credit then against the years cost Of
operation. without considering the work
% the Department OF Justice representa-
tives, amounts roughly to s2.200,000.
Deducting this from the cost OF the
prohibition service. t5.400,000. the net
cost to the Government was $4,000. 900
This with the s276.5sb.437 not collected
as revenue makes the approximate
$3.50. 900 900.
The amount OF Internal revenue COL
lected for the fiscal year ended June 80.
1919. was under the tax OF s6.40 a
gallon. This tax went into effect on
February "a. 1919. and therefore did
not apply for a complete year.
From 1894 to october 3. 1917. the tax
amounted to s1.10 a gallon. when il was
raised TO $500 a gallon.
Legislative. executive and judicial
appropriation bills as passed by the
House carry s7.f00.0oO for enforcement
OF prohibition during the next fiscal
year which will require a cut of 500. 900
in the enforcement expense. The pro-
hibltion enforcement agencies believe
that eventually the cost OF enforcement
will pay it's own way through assessment
OF fines and penalties

THOSE American men who
participated in the war as sol
diers, sailors and marines are
coming to the front again in
1921, according to Treasury De-
partment calculations, to save
the income tax receipts from
taking an awful slump.
During the war the men in the
service were entitled TO an ex-
emption on their Government
pay up to $500, and it affected
almost all of the 100000 or
more who were in uniform.
Back in civilian clothes last year
they will have to pay on the
money they received. 1t means
that many more persons will pay
income tax.
The income and excess profits
tax receipts for 1920 amounted
to $3,957, 100000. Because of
the dehation, despite the addi-
tional payments, the tax for 1921
is estimated at $3,200,000,000.
