tumor to distant parts of the body BY
means of the blood stream. The cells
grow into the vessels which pass
through the tumor, are broken off
and then carried to the lungs, the
liver, brain, and, in fact, any part OF
the body. AS soon as tumor is dis
covered, consult your doctor. Let him
take the responsibility!
Sarcoma occurs in the jaws, around
the joints and in the long bones. A
very careful study is necessary to
make diagnosis, but once it is made
extensive and radical means should be
used in the treatment
In closing this series, we wish to
urge those who have any suspicious
symptoms to consult physician. II
he is not sure, have a consultation
Do not put off seeing a doctor! II
may cost You your life.

CROOKS HAD BETTER
PASS BY ATLANTA
Sleuths of Noted Prosecutor and Po-
lice Detectives Watching and Wait
ing for Migratory Criminals

ATLANTA, Feb. l3-Crooks had
better beat shy of Atlanta if they do
not want to "have the law on them"
and have it quick. Reports that some
of these undesirables are flocking to
pastures new, following clean-ups in
sections of the east, have put the min
ions of the law on the alert in Atlanta.
John A. Boykin, solicitor general of
the Atlanta Judicial Circuit who gained
national reputation several years ago
in unearthing and routing the Floyd
Woodward gang, running them down
wherever they happened to flee, is keep
ing his weather eye" peeled following
reports of migrating crooks and once
they step within Atlanta precincts woe
unto them.
The Atlanta solicitor, recognized
terror to evil doors. has a shrewd Of
flee force, men trained in ferreting out
crime and criminals and these, togeth-
er with the regular city sleuths, are
waiting and watching.
So far as known the cleanup which
has been carried on in Philadelphia
has not had the effect of driving the
crooks from the City of Brotherlv Love
to Atlanta. But number of suspects
have been seen here and they are be-
ing watched ''like cat watches a
mouse" The report was received that
in one Georgia city recently a street
vender of pencils and shoe strings
turned out TO be an advanced guard
to representative of an organization OF
burglars who had victimized not only
that city, but several 'other cities in
this and adjoining states.
Detectives of the solicitors office
show that the bank robber and the purl
elmer of jewelry and other commodi-
ties are shrewd and talented in their
line of work and when they under
take a job, it is usually well-planned
and successfully executed.
This accounts for the alertness at
the present time of prosecuting officers
and local police.

FAKE TITLES.
By ROBERT H. HARRIS

By the custom of IDIOTS eternal,
Every lawyers entitled 'Kernap;
If vocation unknown it should happen
Then, the stranger is always
"Cap'n;"
Only if he wears whiskers, I'll wager
He is sure to be known as "The Ma
jor;"
If knowing no law worth fudge,
The Crowd" will sure call him "The
Judge"
Pedagogue, music crank, or hair
dresser,
All, alike, are entitled Professor"
Let ones dollars pile up till they stag
nate,
Such a man will be known as {
"Magnate;"
Bowed in shame, humble Fame, it ha:
shocked her
To have heard many preachers callee
Doctor
So many thus posing, you see,
That bear not the college degree.

67e,565 TONS FERTILIZER
Used By Georgia Farmers During
Last Year Says State Chemist

ATLANTA, Ga.,-Thcre were 679,-
sos tons of fertilizer sold in Georgia
during the season of 1923, according
to the report of the state chemist sub
mitted to the State Commissioner of
Agriculture. Inspection records show
that 1858 samples were analysed by
the fertilizer laboratory making one
sample for every $50 tons of fertilizer
sold in Georgia during the past sea-
son of 1928. Other states with a total
tonnage of one third of that sold in
Georgia make inspections which will
average one sample to every ITO tons
sold. BIZ. Wilson, state chemist sta
ted, adding that this shows that though
we have a total tonnage which is far
i'll excess of that in other states 1--WE
are really making a,closer inspection"
At the close of each regular rou-
tine season the work OF analyization
IS taken up, the purpose of which is
to determine the character and
availability OF the nitrogenus ma
terials which enter into complete fer
tilizers during that season.
OF the total number of samples
worked, 40 per cent met their guar
antee in every particular. SO per cent
of the total number failed to meet
their guarantee, but contained the
plant food guaranteed by the manu-
facturer Sixteen per cent of the to-
tai number of samples worked failed
to meet their guarantee being either
3 per cent below the total guarantee
in commercial value or were more
than 10 per cent off in one or more
ingredients. These samples are sub
ject to penalties prescribed by the
law.
From market quotations obtained on
January LIST, 1923, on all fertilizer per
ton is found to be $2047.

candy heart." Raggedy Ann said as she jumped up and to one side.
 "IIa. You would say that so l would not take it.' the old woman cried. .,.
 II say 1 shall have your candy heart! and she jumped at Raggedy Ann.
 Just at this moment old Heezy the Witch came running into the pie plant place, tramping upon pies and klcklng them right and left.
 "What's this hear?" she cried as she waved a stick. Indeed :! You shall not have the candy heart! l shall have it myself v . II,
 eve shall see about that" the old woman cried as she ran after Raggedy Ann.
 Then Heezy the Witch caught the old woman's hair and pulled real hard.
 "Ouch!' the old woman erred as she nulled Heezys hair as hard as Heezy pulled hers. And so the two mean crea, lures pulled each others hair and scratched each other and howled ever so loud until finally they both stepped upon a banana pie and their feet slipped out from under them and down they went Teezv the Witch put her hand rlghi into raspberry pie and the other old woman put her hand right into straw, herry nie and when they saw the red stains unon their hands, they both

them and they seem to lose all intelli- gence and tact when with the couple on whom they have designs, thinking all the while of course. that they are being Michiayelian in their campaign.
 Generally speaking (there are, l sn2- pose, exceptions), if the young couple do fall in with their idea, it is i'll spite of their aid and not because of it though, needless to say, the would-be matchmakers inwardly take all the cred it. I wonder if later on they also ln- wardly take the blame, if things do not work out as in the fairy tales and the couple do not Tive happily ever after v I imagine this never enters their heads
 In any case, these would-be match makers do exist; we cannot always avoid them, and they can prove most embarrassing. The best way to handle the situation depends on a number of things. First. how well you know the man: second. what kind of man he is; third. how well you know the match making person or persons. l have gen erally found that there are two ways to live through embarrassing situations and make them less so. The best IS, to face it quite frankly; it immediately be- comes less embarrassing. If this, for some reason, is not possible, completely disregard it.

 "The mean old creature!' Raggedy Ann said. Ut served her right if you did bite her, Charlie Chipmunk! No one should ever catch anything by its tail!'
 "No, sirw Charlie agreed Nothing but turtles. Anyway, you had better hurry and run, because before l stopped to think I told the old Witch that Rag gedy Ann had candy heart and that it was magic And that if she did not watch out Raggedy Ann might work magic on her. I thought if 1 told her this she might not chase you any more. But do you know" Charlie continued, "the Witch said she was all the more anxious to catch you now and have the magic candy heart!"
 "It is too bad you told her that, Charlie Chipmunk!" !" Raggedy Ann said. But do not feel sorry, though, for we shall get away from the mean old crea- ture, am sure!'
 "Aha!" a loud voice cried just then, "You may be able to get away from old Heezy the Witch, but you shall not es- cape from me! I heard what you said about your magic candy heart and l in- tend to have it for myself!' And there, walking towards them, came another old Witch looking woman, as ugly as old Heezy.

If you do not know him very well, but know that he has a sense of humor and enough knowl- edge of human nature to realize that you are not an accomplice i'll their schemes, it is still easy to face the sit uation and laugh it off. If you feel that he would not understand such frankness, that he is genuinely embar- rassed by their behavior, the only thing to do is to disregard 1t entirely and take very good care not to see them again when he is also to be there. Well meaning though it may be, openly or obviously trying to throw two people at each other is rank impertinence and, Ii you know the person who is attempting it at all well, you are perfectly justified in telling her as pleasantly as possible that you so consider it, and in firmly asking her to stop.
 When I speak of people with match making propensities, l do not mean a hostess who seats together at dinner two people whom she knows to be attracted to each other. This is only tactful and helpful to the success of her dinner However, it is not necessary for me tc go into the well-known, obvious and embarrassing methods used by most matchmakers. They have often serious ly interfered with what might have been very good friendship; have even com pletely broken it. I am convinced, how ever. that whether this happens or not is in the hands of the couple and that if they will as 1 said, frankly face the situation and laugh at it, they will lind the feeling of embarrassment has dlsap- peared.

 You know perfectly well he cares for you," declared Avril. Most likely he was flirting with her just for the sake of annoying you. Why don't you make it up with him?"
 Do you think I'd apologize to him? No-besides I don't care for him. l can get along all right without him., and with this final word Joyce started to work.
 As the hours passed Avril's thoughts centered on the quandary she was in. Now that Joyce had returned ostensibly to work seriously she felt she must make other arrangements for it would be impossible to finish her drawings there. What could she do? Her thoughts flew to Ivan. He would wei come her. He had begged her more than once to bring her work to his studio. But even as she thought of it she real ized that such q course was quite out of the question. Ivan was deeply in love with her There was no ignoring it. She had not meant to encourage him, but there were the drawings to consider. She was playing with fire. Yet what could she do?
 Suddenly Joyce arose. "Oh. dear" she exclaimed i've an appointment at the dentists at o'clock. I must be off"
 As the door closed behind her Avril gave a sigh of relief and suddenly an other solution of her problem presented itself to her. She would call up Don and ask if she might bring her draw ings to the office and finish them there. There was certain excitement in the thought that she would be near him. Then she remembered Judy. Would he refuse to grant her this favor? She had turned down his invitation to go riding. But he needed the drawings. This was business. He must have them. She would take the chance.
