EMPHASIZE PATRONAGE OF
HOME INDUSTRIES

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 30-Southern edi-
tors are more and more emphasizing
the patronage of home institutions
and industries, it was pointed out here
today by Atlanta publishers. Attention
is called particularly to southern life
insurance companies, many of which
have been established in recent years
and with but few exceptions have
been successful.
Every dollar paid out by Southern
people to insurance companies located
70 the North and Fast but swell the
accumulation of c7p,'al that must be
brought back in the form of loans for
level rr1f mt of TIL : With. says Rob-
H. Clagett, managing editor of the
Rome (Ga) NewsTr;bune.
"That is IN no respect disparage-
ment of insurance companies of other
sections. Insurance has become the
balance wheel of American business.
II 10 d lCNCoSlly. moreover, the Dig IN
surance companies have become res
ervoirs of capital that are beneficial to
every section of the country.
But the point that we are striving
to suggest is, that Southern insurance
companies could serve the same pur-
pose while retaining in the South as
capital reservoirs the millions of dol
lars now paid to companies in other
sections, thereby not only enjoying
the benefits of such reservoirs, but
also the accumulation of interest that
causes them to swell.
MANY Southern companies have
been established in recent years and
with but few exceptions they have
been successful The field for such
business is virtually unlimited. Those
who enter it now will reap the reward
that will assuredly follow"

HARRIS BILL MAY
BE GIVEN TRY OUT

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 31-Agricu1turists
here and in other sections of the
South, Judging by reports received
at the State capital, are intensely in
terested in legislation now before
congress, to reduce parcel post rates
on farm products and at the same
time, by allowing the mail carrier
commission, increase the sales.
The legislation was proposed by
U. S. Senator W. J. Harris. OF Geor-
gia, who appeared before the senate
postoffice committee and discussed
the plan in detail. The committee, re-
ports received here state, agreed in
formally to report the Harris bill IA
vorably with the plan to be tried for
one year, The postoffice department
has agreed at conference with Sena-
tor Harris to try out the experiment
Supporters of the Harris bill con-
tend that small amounts of farm pro-
ducts are going to waste because the
producer does not have time to go to
town to market small lots, as it would
not be profitable, and the consumer in
town is missing available products
The Georgia Senator proposes to
handle the business at special rates
on the rural routes. with the mail
carrier getting special commission.
1t will not involve additional appro-
priations as the mail carried is already
provided with facilities.

may not be cancer, but it should be
investigated. Any lump in the mouth,
especially a sore" is dangerous. Do
not procrastinate.
Cancers in the mouth develop from
the same layer of cells as those on
the lips and spread rapidly to the
glands under the jaw and the neck.
Excepting cancers in two sother parts
of the body, those in the mouth are
the hardest to cure; therefore, they
should receive early attention. AL

nelected gall stones, an old ulcer Of
the stomach, pus swallowed from a
foul mouth and many other conditions
may be mentioned as causes OF stom-
ach and gall bladder cancer. Strange
as it may seem, cancer rarely, if
ever, develops from an ulcer in the
small intestine. They frequently de-
velop at certain points in the large
intestine-so much so, that surgeons
know just where to look for them.
1t is impossible to give detailed
description of all cancer symptoms in
an article of this kind; so, whenever
there is doubt, the thing to do is to
consult your physician. Have him
make a thorough investigation and
keep a record of the condition in ord
er that he may compare future symp-
toms with those present at the first
examination. Be sure to follow his
advice.

In America and elsewhere cancer
appears to be increasing rapidly. In
1922, there were 10000 more deaths
in America from cancer than there
were 1900. There are several rea-
sons why this true: one of the chief
being that medical science and the
nursing methods of the present day
have added many years to our life
cycle; consequently, more people than
ever before reach the Cancer age"
We know for certainty what can
Ger, but we do not definitely know
what causes it. We know that it
arises as the result of long continued
irritation and that it is reported from
year to year with almost unvarying
frequency in certain parts of the body.

quently on the lower lip. About 90
per cent of them are in men who
smoke to excess and therefore, they
are sometimes called the "pipe smok-
er's sore" They are also caused by
irritation from an overhanging tooth,
but are rarely seen in people under
fifty years of age.
An early cancer of the lip looks like
a "cold sore" or "fever blister" or
it may be only scaly spot which
does not heal. 1t is dangerous be-
cause it spreads quickly to the glands
