WINBURN TELLS WHY
HE. WOULD CUT TRAINS

SAVANNAH, March Declaring
that the Central of Georgia railway
must practice every possible economy
so that it may live within its income,
President w A. Winburn, in state
ment today sets forth some of the
reasons why the road is asking per.
mission to discontinue certain UNI
profitable passenger trains. He says
that the primary duty of railway is
to supply safe and dependable trans
portation, responsibility that can
best be met by dispensing with non
essentials so that the essentials for
providing such service may be as
sured.
Although the income of many pas
senger trains is less now than it was
in 1916, expenses have greatly in
creased. Coal costs $3.46 FER ton
as against $1.27 five years ago, Taxes
have greatly increased and labor
costs are much higher.
According to the statement, before
seeking the curtailment of train SER
vice the railway has exhausted every
other means of effecting economies.
The number of employees has been re-
Iduced; amounts paid out for loss and
damage to freight and for personal
Injuries have been greatly lessened /;
efficient operation has permitted a
saving of $350,999 in the annual coal
bill and yet the road last year failed
by nearly a million dollars to earn
its operating expenses, fixed charges
land taxes; leaving no provision for
interest on the capital invested.
President Winburn expresses the
belief that fair-minded people will
not expect a publie-service corpora

MANY CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry.
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat

STAY off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also means OF
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
news to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoonful
in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood OF these impur-
tiles. a
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have pleasant,
effervescent Whitewater drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well. -
