Uncle Sam and Railroads Negotiating

PROHIBITIONS looking to the l V funding of the railroad indebted ness of approximately $S00,000,000 to the government and the settlement of the claims of the railroads against the government are under full way be- tween government officials and the railway executives. These negotiations have resulted in progress toward defi- nite conclusions.
 Railway officials estimate that the net amount due the railroads from the government is somewhere between $575 100000 and 5000 100000. They admit that it is difficult to make a definite estimate of the total amount due because of the items in dispute.
 Roughly, however, they place the amount yet due for the period of gov ernment control at $3S3 100000 and for the guaranty period of six months af- ter federal control at $229,000,0o0.
 Director General Davis estimates that the claims of the railroads against the railroad administration will aggregate $1,250, 100000. Forty seven railroads have already settled with the government, and they were allowed approximately 2S per cent of the amounts claimed by them. The total claims of these roads aggregated SPA, 4,040,S67, of which $35, ,4S6,914 was allowed.
 Applying this percentage in the total estimated claims against the railroad administration, railway offi- cials figure it would appear that the

Calomel salivates It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on slug gish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, con- stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents, which is harmless vegetable substi- ute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your

Nxy ASHINGTON. - Widespread ap- w proval of the proposal to give President Harding power to veto sin gle items in appropriation bills through the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution is being manifested in scores of letters received, says Senator Kenyon of Iowa. According to him the public has been quick to sense the value of this delegation of power not only as a measure of economy but al- so in putting a check on the practice of adding legislative riders" to ap- propriation bills.

comparison of this barn with those in use twenty or thirty years ago, and the structures found on too many American farms today will give good idea of the progress in barn construction and equipment. Dirty, dark, cold and drafty structures are expensive because they cut down pro- duction and increase labor cost, while the modern barns increase production and cut labor costs.
 It is economy when building to build well. That is especially true of barns that are to house live stock and their feed. Every farmer who needs a new building of this type should bear these facts in mind.

said Kenyon today q shall introduce the amendment and press for it's con sideration. I have been surprised at the interest 1t has attracted. l have received letters from practically every section commenting it and urging it's submission to the people. The authors of these letters have been men from many different walks of life, including doctors, lawyers, college professors and business men,"
 Senator Kenyon is convinced that his amendment should be so drafted as to give to the President the right to veto riders" where they occur in an appropriation bill as well as being em- powered to cut out single appropria- lions without destroying an entire sup ply bill, the funds in which are aPpro- priated for carrying on the business of a great department of the government.
 He reiterated his belief that the adoption of such constitutional amendment would be of immense value in the drive for economy and says that when the public understands the importance of the matter, sentiment will be sufficiently strong in it's favor to obtain ratification by the necessary two-thirds of the state legislatures.

BLOOD ON THE MOON.

Down in Volusia factions are again
at war. A year ago the judge upon
the bench was brought into the row.
ing, and now the grand jury has been
dragged in with such references
made to it as "but even in this the
grand jury lied in its presentments,
and Judging from the presentment
itself it is evident the grand jury
spent most of its time in white
washing State Attorney DeCottes."
These little references to the coun-
TVS inquistorial body were made by
the Daytona Morning Journal, which
was scored by the grand jury for
charging Attorney DeCottes with
corruption and being in league
with the lawless elements which the
journal had said terrorized the coun-
ty. The presentments said that Ed
itor Sparkman libelled the states at
torney and Mr.. Sparkman came back
with the challenge that if he libelled
Mr.. DeCottes it was the duty of the
grand jury to indict him, and he an
swers his own question of why they
did not indict him in the following
language:
because they knew that the
charges against George A. DeCottes
were true and that if H. C. Spark
man were indicted for libel he would
appear in court, demand an imme-
date trial and there in public prove
his charges that George A. DeCottes
had been corrupted by the midnight
thugs and assassins who compose the
night hood of Volusia county"

WHAT IS NEWS7

Look at the headlines today and
then look up those of seven years
ago.
Nothing is more indicative of the
broadening times than the change
that has come about in the last few
years in the spirit and method of
American newspapers. THe change
is especially noticeable lin the small
ct cities. Their papers used to con-
slider it cordinal principle of their
business to play up the local news
and play down every other kind of
news. 1t was the particular pride
of many a thriving little journal
that it was a "local paper" And
where is the "local paper" now?
You search for it almost in vain.
There may be, here and there in the
country, corner left untouched by
the sweep of events, where the out
err world is ignored, and petty per-
SonalS and routine dolngS are re-
garded as more consequential than
proceedings at Washington or world
shaking events abroad. But such
corners have to be searched for.
The typical small paper of the typ
ical small town has walked up, as its
readers have, and is taking a ma,
tional view and a world view. II
gets the big neks to readers along
with the interesting and necessary
yet petty, local news, and plays it W
stronger. 1t stresses nationa
labor crisis or foreign revolution
more than a social event or a neigh
borhood Scandal or fight in the
main street,

GAINS REPORTED

Resident Of Salt Lake City Adds
Ten Pounds While Wife Gains
20 Pounds In Weight.

Dan J. Jerry, $40 Ounce St., we'll
known Salt Lake City, Utah, bust
ness man, in reporting remarkable
gains in weight both by himself and
his wife, says:
my wife gained twenty-eight
pounds and gained ten pounds in a
few weeks by taking Tanlac. The
change in Mrs. Perry is all the more
remarkable, as she had been going
down hill steadily for four or five
years. She got no nourishment from
her food and ! don't believe she av-
eraged three hours sleep out of the
twenty -four.
while my condition was not as
serious as hers, | had been under the
weather for some time, had no appe-
tite and was bothered a good deal by
indigestion. Tanlac has certainly
proved all and more than is claimed
for it with u.s."
Tanlac is sold in Palatka by Ack-
erman-Stewart Drug Co., and all
leading druggists.

MEDICAL EXAMS FOR DRIVERS

A medical examination for every
driver of an automobile is compulsory
in many communities. 1t should be
so everywhere. REORGANIZATION at
regular intervals, with records to
check up on every case, would pro-
tect the public safety still more.
The coroner in one of the larger
cities was called to investigate the
death of a taxicab driver who had
died suddenly in his room. Death
had occurred from heart trouble as
che man bent over to tie his shoes.
Further investigation proved that the
man had been a sufferer from serious
heart disease for a long time. Had
his death occurred while he was driv-
ing his cab, as could have happened
easily, the results might have been
disastrous to others besides the dri-
yer. That city demands a medical
examination. The man had passed
one some time before his death. A
re-examination would have discover
ed the heart trouble which probably
was too slight to be detected at the
first inspection.
