HOW is YOUR
COLON TODAY

Tell me. how your colon is func-
tioning and | will tell you how you
feel, sleep and eat. If your colon
es enptying itself freely, regularly
and completely every day, you feel
young, energetic and vigorous;
sleep soundly and awake refresh
ed; eat with relish, enjoy your
meals and digest thoroughly. If
your colon is lazy, and lacking in
tone, SO that the poisonous mat
tiers are being retained and re-ab-
sorbed into your system, you feel
nervous, irritable, weak, dyspeptic
and prematurely old.
Colon poisoning (autointoxica-
tion) is the most common cause
of chronic diseases and premature
degeneration of the vital organs.
Millions suffer without realizing
how easily the cause can be remov-
ed. Tell your druggist to send
you bottle of Colotone-the
colon tonic. 1t will quickly restore
tone to the muscular walls Of
your colon. Your toxic condition
will disappear and you4 will feel
young, energetic and vigorous. Colo
tone removes the cause of consti-
patton. Your druggist is instruct
ed to refund. the price, me dollar,
if you are not thoroughly delighted
with Colotone.--(adv.)

DEBT Commission
Announces POLICY
Debtor Nations Not to Be Al
lowed to Givd New Obligas
tons ANY, Preference

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Tae
United States has laid down the def
mite policy that it will permit of no
action by foreign debtor nations
that would make the position of tins
government "less favorable" with
respect to obligations due it.
Establishment of the policy was
disclosed Sunday with publication
by the American debt commission
of communications with the mission
from the kingdom of the Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes, which last
Monday discussed a funding ar
rangement on that country's debt Of
S61, $4,000. The mission left with
out making any Roadway towards a
settlement, but carried with it a
letter setting forth the American
views.
Pending the refunding or salts
faction Of the Indebtedness in. ques-
tion," the debt commissions letter
said, ''the commission assumes that
the United States may feel assured
Of its indebtedness heretofore or
hereafter incurred which will result
in placing the United States in a
less favorable position as creditor
than that which it now occupies. "
The paragraph was regarded as
making it clear that the United
States intends to retain thef priority
of its obligations where such pIiog
ity exists and that it will accept ne
shifting financial arrangements.

PEACHES AGAIN.
NOW, EXPERTS ADVISE
Same Materials Should Be Used
AS In First Spray. Growers
Here Are Told

The government and State lab
oratory at Fort Valley has just is
sued a highly important bulletin,
advising peach growers here TO,
spray their orchards a second time,
beginning Immediately. The bulle-
tin is as follows.
Hiley peaches in Middle Georgia
have now reached the right stage
in their development for the sec
ond application of spray, and peach
growers are advised to start spray
ing that variety Immediately. This
application is applied when about
seventy-five per cent of the dried
calyces or "shucks" have been
ushed from the small peaches, ard
it is one of the most important
sprays for the control Of the cur
culio. If this spray is not APP
piled right on time many curculio
eggs may be deposited in the little
peachs, when they are exposed from
the "shucks,'' and this would re-
suit in a heavy April and May
drop.
The same materials should b.
used for the. second spray as were
used for the first application;
namely, four pounds of powdered
arsenate Of lead with the milk of
lime from shaking twelve pounds of
stone lime to each 200 gallons of
water. If dust is used the O.5.95
is recommended; however, the so
5-15 may be used if the grower de-
sires.
Elbertas, Georgia Bellies, aud
Uneedas will be ready for the sec
ond spray by the latter part Of this
week, and those varieties should've.
ceive the second treatment imme-
diately upon the completion of the
Hiley acreage. Carmen, Early Rose
and the early, varieties should re.
ceive the second pray next week.
Some growers have failed to give
the fruit the first treatment at the
recommended time, and few have
tgone SO far as to omit applying first
the first spray altogether. Grow
ers are cautioned in regard to negii
gence or carlessness in. their spray
ling program. The ~curculio, brown
rot, and seab can be satisfactorily
controlled only at very definite
times in their life history, and al
tering the recommended schedule.
| in any way will certainly not brine
| the maximum protection agains
these pests. Many curculio egg.
| have been found in the fruit during
! the past week, showing that thu
curcuho is again with us in nun
bers. Timely spraying with suffi
Gent spraying equipment to handl
the acreage in a few days is, there
fore strongly urged.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step In Treatment Is Calo. tabs, the Purified and Re. fined Calomel Tablets That Are Nsusealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds, cough sore throat and influenza can be de- pended upon for full effectiveness until the hvsr .s made thoroughly ae. tive. That "a why the first step in the treatment is the nausealssS eaIomeI tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickenIng and weakening effects Of the old styie calomei. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go c long way towards preventing infia- enzA and colds and is one of the most important factors in enabling the pa- tient to successfully withstand an At- tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One or two Calotabs at bed time, with a swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eating. pleas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast Genuine Caiota3s are sold ouly in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents for the large. family package: ten cents for the small veSt-pocket size.-Ad.

WHEN IS CAR
 IN COLLISION?
 JUDGES DIFFER

MONTGOMERY. Ala. Jan. 31, What does an automobile have to hit to be techinaclly and legally in a coilisiony That is question over which the doctors of the Ala bama common and statute law dis agree. Some of the high justices . of Alabama hold that car has been in collision when it takes . nose spin through the air and hold that the mere obedience of body to the Newtonian law of gravi- tation doesn't make collision for which an insurance company would be liable on the policy. The point came up in the case of St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance com pany vs. American Compromising company, appealed from the Wal ker circuit court, and reversed and remanded to this court by the su- preme court Thursday.
 According to the opinion written by Judge virgil Bouldin, the car was standing in front of planti6's office on the crest of . hill, the rear wheels on level ground, the front wheels on slopins ground. It stood in this position , with the brakes on over night. in the morn ing while its custodian, an operator was sweeping 1t put, the automobile started down hill and stopped after 1t had fallen of % foot precipics. Justices Boudin, Thomas and Mill Ter hold that when the car hit the bottom of the precipice, there was . collision sufficient to make the insurance company liable unders . clause in the policy. Chief Justice Anderson, Justices Sayre, Somer- vile and Gardner, however, take . different view as to what consti. tutes a collision.
