Tired and Nervous the Lack
of Sleep? DO You Kno,u
the Reason Why?

Sleep time is the time when
the reconsrucive processes in
your body are busiest - turning
food into blood, and nerve tissue,
and living cells.
That's the reason why lack Of
sleep makes you irritable, ineffi-
Gent and nervous; and why you
lack punch" when you don't get
a proper amount of the right
kind of sleep.
1t has been the experience
of many that the cup of tea or
coffee, taken at meal-time, robs
them of sleep.
In Gould and Pyle's Cyclic
pedia of Medicine and Surgery
you'll find that "caffein IS a rap
idly acting stirnulant to the brain
and spinal cord, quickens the
action of the heart, and raises
blood pressure"
This makes It a very good
medicine # prescribed by a doctor
for cases of collapse, when a pa
tent needs to have his system
abnormally forced into activity.
But caffeine is not good for

GOD GIVE STATE WISDOM TO MEET
THIS CRISIS From Atlanta Constitution

THIS CRISIS From Atlanta Constitution
While members of the Georgia assembly, in both
branches, are foundering about trying to find
methods for raising emergency funds to meet
accrued deficiencies, including the states obliga-
tons to confederate soldiers and their Widows
the information is published that the house ap-
preparations committee has decided to reduce
the fund for common schools this year 81 100000
while $4,000 will be sliced from the pension
sum-"
Surely this cannot be true-lot in this state
of Georgia with balance sheet OF assets and
liabilities that shows assets OF a purely private
nature worth at conservative, liquid valuation
at least ten million of dollars than the COM
bined total of her public and private obligation;
her outstanding bonds and all her current debts
1t is also stated that the appropriations COM
mlttee is preparing a starvation schedule for all
the institutions of Georgia, the university, the
State College of Agriculture, the Georgia School
OF Technology, the vocational, corrective, eleen-
oSynary and other institutional undertakings that
mean much to the material wealth of the
state as we'll as to the educational advancement
OF her young men and women and her unfortun-
ate wards
Surely this cannot be true with the bold, out
standing tact facing every member of the legis-
lature, and every citizen to whom they are amen
able that Georgia is one of the wealthiest states
In the unien, when the valuation of what she
owns OF a. private, tangible nature is paralleled
with what she owes of public and private ma
ture-a state richer by far, in comparison, than
any OF the two score or more sister states of the
union that rank ahead of her in education.
What would any business CORPORATION do # #
owned healthy, liquid assets of $2OOOOOOO with
mortgage encumbrances of les than 100000
and floating obligations, all told of less than
S4OOO,OOO?
1t would borrow the money add to its bonds,
and adjust sinking fund from it's income for
retirement
There is not a board of five directors of anv
great industrial financial institution in Amer
lea that would not solve such a problem as Geor-
gas Legislature is laboring under today in five
hours' and solve it without starving a single
paying branch of its great establishment.

FINANCING COTTON FACTORS

papers are full of stories from the Federal Re-
serve Banks announcing arrangements for fin
anclng cotton factors through those agencies for
shipments of cotton to foreign markets This
relief will in small measure help the cotton sit
uation, as far as getting the cash for the accu-
mulated crop by spectators and factors But
the producer is practically left out in the cold
and subject as to the rnanipulations of the
SPECTATORS.
The remedy, we see it, for the producer lies
particularly in taking out of the market enough
OF the holdover cotton to compel the purchase of
the new crop fair price level. Brazil began
Twenty-Five years ago to market it's coffee crop
for the producers through Government agencies
and with Government finances and saved it cof-
fee planters from bankruptcy. Why cannot this
rich government do as much for its farming
classes? Upon them rests the we'll being of the
entire country and the entire country must get
behind its farmers to secure for them fair and
comfortable living, if we hope to continue to
prosper.
Enrch1ng Our overfed SPECTATORS will not
bring back normal times; it is the masses who
only can increase consumption enough to affect
the general prosperity.

CRISP HEADS THE FIGHT AGAINST POT.

ASH TARIFF-lt Is good to his home
folks and supporters to hear that Congressman
Charles r. Crisp is leading the fight against the
efforts to impose tariff of $50 per ton on potash.
Before the committee which is writing the bill
and on the floor Of the house Mr. Crisp's voice
is being heard in defense of the Southern farmer
whose property is largely dependent on cheap
and high grade fertilizer 1t is fitting that
from the Wregrass, the section that fertilizer
has developed, should lead the fight against the
fertilizer interests and the South is fortunate in
having man like Crisp on the floor of the house
who make his voice heard in his sections
defense.
Congressman Crisp pointed out that the bill
to impose $50 ton protective tariff would amout
to charging the farmers of the South approx
mately $3o0OO000 in we years in order to pro-
tect industry that is worth only $28OOOOOO
The potash tariff would especially affect the
peach industry but would be felt in all classes of
agriculture The United States got along very
well without native potash for many years and
if the American potash production can not COM
pete even basis with foreign production
it had best go out of business 1t is worth more
to America to have the most prosperous farming
class possible than it is to boast the hollow hon
or OF having prosperous potash industry. The
transportation media of the earth are well enough
developed now to make it possible for each ma
ton to produce only what it can produce most
efficiently and to prohtably the products of
other nations when those products can be best
procured from other nations.
1t is not necessary to keep the United States
in condition OF splendid isolation" in order
to have America prosper. 1t is certainly not
necessary or wise to make an established indus
try OF the vastncss and value that agriculture has
attained suffer in even the smallest degree in or
der to foster an infant industry of so little COM
parative value as the potash industry. If we have
another war that cuts off the supply, we can
revive our own potash works during the emer-
gency.

SEND AMERICAN TROOPS TO UPPER

SILESIA?-The astounding audacity of some
OF the leaders OF our late allies is evidenced in
the Suggestion" that the United States send
troops into Upper Silesia for the vague and gen
eral purpose of "insuring respect for the deci-
sons of the allies under the treaty of Versailles"
The United States is not a party to the treaty
OF Versailles and prospects are now that she is
not likely to be. The trouble in upper SiIesia is
that the allies unwilling to let the inhabitants
seif-determine' their political destiny and are
forcing these people to accept different govern
ment than they want
And the allies informally suggest that Amer
lcan boys be sent to far away Silesia to continue
the beautiful and unsel6sh program of pulling
allied chestnuts out of the fire. The United States
has done its duty toward civilization bv win
ning the late world war at an immense sacrifice
OF men and money. Hands across the sea"
have been filled to Overlooking with American
generosity They have enough to last them for
several generations Great Britain has refused
to send additional troops to protect French in
terests in upper Silcsa and it is extremely doubt
tul whether the informal suggestion that Amer
ican aid would be acceptable will ever be any
thing but an informal suggestion" But is goes
to show the Unsuitable desires and needs of Eu-
ropean nations for free assistance
