Painless Surgery Has
Made Rapid Aduance

The surgery Of century ago was q
painful and almost brutal procedure
the Scientific American says. With
the coming of antisepsis and later Of
asepsis, following the work Of Lister
and Pasteflr. the mortality which re-
suited from surgery was greatly re-
duced through the elimination Of bac-
terial infection following operation.
With the development, of anesthesla,
beginning with the work Of Morton
and Long on ether. and following with
chloroform, nitrous XidOXygen gas,
stOvain and intraspinal anesthesia, the
use Of narcotics preliminary to opera
ton to reduce the patients sensibility
and, more recently, the development
of another gas anesthetic, ethyiene,
physicians have been able to work
more slowly, more carefully and more
accurately, extending surgical proce-
dures to organs heretofore unap-
proachable by the surgeons knife,
thereby saving many lives In condi-
lions previously called inoperable.
Moreover, continued study Of nerve
routes and nerve paths, with the de-
velOpment of anesthetlc substances
which may be applied directly to.
nerves, permits effectively blocking the
sense Of pain which may proceed along
the nerves TO the brain. So-calied l0cal
anesthesia with such drugs as prOcain
and butyn enables surgeons to operate
on patients who are fully conscious
and therefore are better able to Sesist
the shock which may accompany OK
tensiye operative measures.

Farmers Just
In Utility
Dealings
r e a lie Their Own
Prosperity Depends
On Fair Treatment
For Every Business.

A tribute constantly paid to tn
farmers by lawyers is that they ar
more conscientious in their jury ser
vice than any other class of citizens
taken as class. Farmers, they say
will listen to testimony more care
fully, will weigh the evidence, tn
| arguments of counsel and the charg'
/ of the judge with greater regard fol
truth and will deliberate upon thu
verdict with a fuller determination
to award justice.
The public utility companies OF
Georgia find cause for satisfaction
in this condition. In every operation
the companies are subject to public
supervision and control-the people
of Georgia are constantly serving as
jury on their affairs--and the pros
perity, the very life, of the utilities
depends upon the fairness of the pub
lies verdicts.
In Georgia the farmer is the DOM
inant element of the people. His
enlightened self-interest, no less than
his sense of Justice, dictates fairness
to the utility companies in matters
of rates. taxes and operating condi-
tions because he knows that his well
fare is inextricably linked with the
welfare of the companies. He knows
that the companies cannot prosper
unless he prospers, that their efforts
create a community of wealth in
which he shares, that when they Gre
ate business activity he shares in the
fruits of that business activity.
Should he never see an electrlc
transmission line or a gas plant,
bower house or gas-fred bake oven,
the farmer still knows that in Great
ing the great assembled mass OF eco
nomic wealth from which he draws
the sales price of his crops, the value
of his land, the hire of his LABOR
tho worth of his live-stock-the pub
lie utility companies are one u '"e
greatest factors, if indeed they are
not the most important factor.
You cannot create wealth without
beneftting the entire community;
every part of the community shares
in the direct and indirect product OF
YOUR efforts. And you cannot lnJure
any one member of this great eco
nomic team of farmers, merchants
workers and corporations without
wreaking injury upon all of them.
The farmer-moved alike by de-
sire to dispense justice and to ad-
vance his own interests today to a
greater degree than ever before IN
sisting upon a fair deal for the pub
lie utility companies.

HOME. DAD AND THE BOY
The Grovchy Dad
BY FRANK H. CHELEY

7 ETS give him the advantage
- of the doubt-IikeIy he suffers
from Indigestion.
For years he has made 1t habit
of his life TO look for trouble and
he has been wonderfully successful.
He looks upon every carefree.
exuberant noisy. dirty, fun-ioving
boy as necessary nuisance that
must be tolerated against the day
he natures and can shift for HIM
self.
He is always looking for the ul-
terror motive In, every boy. situa-
ton, and cannot believe there Is
anything worthwhile in the boy.
He ia as friendly with his boy as
are two strange bulldogs.
He doesn't realize there is no
more sense in breaking the will of
a boy than there is In sandbagging
the engineer of train.
Fifty thousand American boys re-
volted against grouchy Dads in
this United States last year and
ran away from home.
Yet broken window Is more
easily mended than ruined boy r
and any boy will tell the truth
when he is not scared into lying.

partment on charges of soliciting and
accepting bride of $17.500 and of
conspiring to solicit and accept the
bride.
The bride was paid by Clifford w.
Smith, millionaire banker of Rock
land, Maine, in the Offices maintained
by the Smith family in the Guaranty
Trust building.
The Smith estate is handled at the
address giten by two corporations,
the George Warren Smith corpora
ton, and George Warren Smith. Inc.
which handles the millions invested
by the family.
These offices recently were. visited
by BergholZ and Sattler. field agents
Of the Internal Revenue department,
who, after going over the books. ac-
cording to Mr.. Buckner's office, re-
ported to Clifford w. Smiths secre-
tary, that large sum of money was
due about the taxes paid for 1928
and 1924.
Representations were made. ac-
cording to the secretary, that the
matter could be adjusted if Smith
would come down from Maine, prom
ises were made. according TO the sec
rotary, that he could be shown how
to evade large lawyers fees, ac-
countants fees and much needless
litigation.
The Smiths having made income
tax returns based on the advice of
experienced lawyers and knowing
that the returns We're honest, re-
ported the offer. of the revenue
agents to the Guaranty Trust Co.,
and Joseph Nye, executive assistant
to the president of the Trust Co., re-
lated the circumstances to Hugh Nc
Quillan, head of the special intelli-
gence unit.
Clifford W. Smith, came to New
York from Maine and under instruc-
tions from McQuillan entered into
negotiations with Bergholz and Sat
tier. Today Sattler was paid $12,-
500 and $4,000 was given to Bergholz
upon their promise overheard by
Agents Hurphy and Keyes, to reduce
an excess tax of $4,000 TO $1,000.
Immediately after the money was
paid, the men were arrested and
taken to the Federal building, ar
raigned by assistant U. S. Attorney
Reavis before Commissioner Cotter.

in the province of Quebec" He added
that this plan, as result of the
government taking over the sale ex.
clusively of all alcoholic beverages
and forbidding the consumption Of
those beverages upon the premises
where sold, does away with the sa-
loon and the private liquor traffic"
Senator Wadsworth's statement
took the form Of letter to an I'M
named constituent and was made
public after the anolcement that
Franklin w. Christman. former state
senator, had formally accepted the
request of the organized dry forces Of
New York that he be an Independent
and Republican candidate against
Senator Wadsworth.
Declaring it was great pity" the
18th amendment was ratified, Senator
Wadsworth asserted that not only
doe it violate the principles of sound
constitutional law-making, but that
it leads to bitter dissension and wide
spread disregard for the constitution.
He added that it tied the hands of
Congress and the people themselves
to a very great extent, depriving them
of an opportunity to solve this prob
lem by statutory enactments, justi-
fed by experience and public opin-

Senator Wadsworth also declared
for a modification of the Volstead
act to permit the manufacture and
sale of beverages mountaineering in

this would solve the problem per-
