NEW SUPPORT
HEALS RUPTURE
Kansas City Doctors Invention
Makes Truss or Operation
Unnecessary

A new support which, experts
agree, has no equal for curative eff
fects in all rupture cases, is the lat
est accomplishment of DR.. Andrews,
S32 Koch Bldg, Kansas City, Mo. The
extraordinary success of this new ap-
pliance proves that it holds and heals
a rupture. 1t weighs only few
ounces, Has no hard gouging pads,
no elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel
bands, and is as comfortable as a
light garment. 1t has enabled hun
dredS of persons to throw away
trusses and declare their rupture
absolutely healed. Many of these
had serious double ruptures, from
which they had suffered for years.
1t is DR.. Andrews ambition to have
every ruptured person enjoy the
quick relief, comfort and healing
power of his device, and he will send
it on free trial to any reader of The
Atlanta Tri-Weekly Journal who
writes him. He wants one person in
each neighborhood to whom he can
refer. If you wish to be rid of rup-
ture for good, without an operation,
take advantage Of the doctors free
offer. Write him today.

The program, which was cons1d-

it will be possible to switch the
power onto either of the two main
transmission lines now running in
to Atlanta, or onto the new 100000
volt line now being built.
The Tal1ulah river, in order to
serve the new plant, will be divert
ed for a distance of five miles from
it's regular channel but this does
not mean that the river will be en-
tirely dry between Lakemont and
the power plant, since it will receive
water from the overflow and will
also be fed by Tiger creek, which
flows into it about mile below
the Lakemont dam.
The water, after having passed
through the tunnel, will flow into
the giant pipes, called penstocks,
$500 feet long and 10 feet in dia-
meter, through which it will be
taken to the water wheels. From
the water wheels it will flow into
Tallulah lake, to be used a second
time at the Tallulah plant and a
third time at the Tugalo plant. All
of the water from the lake at Lake
mont will flow against the water
wheels of the new plant, except
during overflow periods.
The capacity Of the new plant
will be $4,000 horsepower and it
will be located at the head of the
Tallulah lake, just below Sawtooth
falls. It will be visible from the
bridge of the Southern railway,
which crosses the lake. This de-
velopment is part of the new

MiIe-Long Tunnel to Be
Blasted Through Solid
Rock - Mathis TaIIuIah
Plant to Cost 100000

When construction begins on the
new $1,000,0OO Mathis-Tallulah pow
err plant of the Georgia Railway and
Power company at the head of Tai
<lulah lake, many interesting en-
gineering feats will be revealed, &C.
cording to the plans which were
completed Saturday. Announce
ment was made that work will be-
gin on or about June /, and that
an extra force Of about 300 men
will be necessary to complete the
work within Is months, as planned.
A feature of unusual Importance
and interest in the plans is the
boring of a tunnel for a full mile
through solid rock to carry water
to the water wheels of the new
plant The procedure employed in
driving the tunnel provides that
holes be bored into the solid rock
where the tunnel is to begin, q
dynamite blast inserted and dis
charged and the rock cleared away
for the depth of about fifteen feet
in which the blast will displace it.
Flat cars will be pushed into the
breach thus made and the process
continued until completion.
1t is planned to start crews at
work at each end of the projected
tunnel and have them meet in the
center. The inside of the tunnel,
to be IL by IA feet in size, will be
lined with concrete. It will be
blasted straight through solid rock,
horizontally, and on an airline to
the point of egress.
Other unusual features will also
appear, of striking interest among
them the remote control" system,
the only one of its kind in the south,
which will be employed to distribute
the power produced. The central
switching station at Ta1lulah will
not only control the power from
the new MathisTallulah plant, more
than a, mile away, but also will con-
troll power from the Tugalo and
Tallulah plants, also about q mile
apart From the switching station

BIRTH RATE IN
FRANCE SHOWING
ALARMING SLUMP

PARIS, Jan. 26.-The high cost
of living, lack of apartments and
homes for newly married couples,
selfishness, too many women en-
ployed in industry, and too much
pleasure. are the general causes as
signed for the alarming decrease Of
the birth rate in France, now the
lowest in Europe.
This is a condition that has been
accentuated by the war, which took
many men to the front, whence
many never returned. The war al
so created new conditions of living
for women, gave them work, made
them Independent, and disinclined TO
marry readily, and less inclined to
have children.
This situation is set forth at length
by the national alliance for increas-
ing French population.
In comparison with a hundred
years ago, each French marriage
brings less than two children, i'll
stead Of four children, whereas
England's marriages bring nearly
three children instead of nearly
five hundred years ago. In Ger
many in 1841, the average marriage
brought 4.44 children as compared
to % in 1921.
The birth decrease does not result
from high mortality, or relatively
fewer marriages. Frances popula'
ton of 100000 in 1922 is practi.
cally that of 1900. The number of
marriages for that year was $685.
900, or about the average since
then, with the years following the
war showing larger number, which
is now returning the average. For
1921 the number OF marriages was
456,000, and for 1922 it was little
higher.
Until 1914, the number of births
avera ged 100000 yearly. During
several of the war years the num-
Der dropped to fewer than 400, 900.
The first six months of this year
showed 386,726, as compared to 421,-
$50 for the first six months of 1921.
1t is argued that if France is to
hold her place in the world md send
emigrants to her colonies, she must
pass laws, as already proposed in
parliament, to give the voting ma
jority to married men, reduce fami-
ly taxes, and give bonuses for each
child born. Already, families en-
joy lower railway fares.
