URGES WALKING
 FOR TANGLED WAR NERVES
By NORMAN HOWARD

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Chicago, Sept. 4.--(UP)-walking and other exercise, rather than a sedative, is the best answer to ian- gled war nerves" according to pr. Willard J. Stone, Pasadena, Gal.
 Writing in the September issue of Hygeia, health magazine of the American Medical Association, pr. Stone recommended all the exer- else ones physical condition will permit, especially in the case of persons in sedentary occupations.
 In addition, listen to less radio war news before retiring. pr. Stone advised, and find an outlet for nerv- ous energy, "in some useful war work"
 walking is one form of exercise Dr. Stone especially endorsed.
 Tt is possible" he pointed out, that restriction of gasoline may be @ blessing in disguise, since 1t will make more people secure their exercise by walking"
 It is far better to exercise than to burden your body with sedatives, whose continued use may prove de- cidedly harmful, Dr. Stone empha- sized.
 When a physician is confronted with an overwrought patient who sleeps poorly" pr. Stone wrote, "he may come to the conclusion that there will be fewer harmful results from the sedative prescribed than from sleepleSs night which may make the next day more difficult So he prescribes a barbiturate sed- ative.
 Such course" Dr. Stone con- tinued, would not be open to criti- cism if the drug were used for & short period of time, or with peri ods of Interruption. Its continued use, however, may bring about an exaggeration of the very symptoms, such as fatigue and irritability, for which relief was sought"
 On the whole, 1t is better to se- cure more exercise by walking, golfng, swimming or gardening, and in the restriction of coffee and alcohol" to induce natural slum- Der, rather than to induce sleep by eventually harmful sedatives," he wrote.
 Sleep induced by sedatives," Dr. Stone pointed out, "can hardly be called natural sleep by any stretch of the imagination, despite many statements to the contrary
 Our people will survive the war, devastating as its effects may be, but our fitness to meet the demands of the present and the future effi- ciently will be helpful If we learn to control our nerves by more rational methods than through the use of sedativeS."

 The Talmadge faction frequently refers to the Arnall- Rivers plum derbund." Arnall, however, hewed to the law and the indictments against former Gov. E. D. Rivers never touched him. Since Rivers went out and Talmadge got back in, the Arnall-Riv friendship has cooled, Rivers reportedly being peeved that Arnall did not prove himself more of pal at the time the grand jury was throwing the book his way. Tn this campaign Rivers has been conspicuously quiet, refusing to put the kiss of political death on Arnall.

Why did blow up my yard in Such shape just for garden2 My squash are about two feet long, The shape of them Is all wrong The melons are very big and round, They also seem firm and sound, Their growth has been prolific, But they taste terrific. No matter how much l weed, Or how many families feed I can't use up half the stuff, And I've got about enough Green peppers to feed an army, should be ol farm, see.

Talmadge is an oldtime political warhorse from Telfair county. Elected governor on an economy program, he served in 1893 and 1884, again in 1885 and 1e36, and after four years of Rivers, returned again in 1941. His followers like to see his red suspenders, hear his heated att tacks on apythin ganti-T -Talmadge.
 Standing on his recard, he doesn't remind them of the concentration camp" he established near Atlanta for cotton mill strikers in 1895 and his campaign manager, Senator Charles Redwine, professes to be unfamiliar with this unhappy bus mess of barbed wire and the Na- tional Guard. The cotton mill unionists didn't forget in the next race and Rivers got in.

one opponent, 34 year old Attor- ney General Ellis Arnall, has a many-planked platform which amounts to promise of better gov- ernment.
 If Talmadge is returned to his present office, he will be in for the four-year term which he engineered through the state legislature. He's now rounding out his third two-year term.
 The Talmadge- -Arnall fight for the governorship is the bitterest campaign in many year of Geor- gia politics. Most of the mud f1ll- ing the air down here is being tossed by Talmadge, but the best and stickiest variety is being dished out by the Arnall camp.
 There doesn't seem to be any- thing in Arnall's past for the Tal- madge faction to wash in public, but there's plenty on the record against Talmadge, political ex- trovert whom the late Senator Huey P. Long once considered for partnership in dreamed-of presi- dential campaign.
 Georgia is placarded with the campaign posters of both Talmadge and Arnall. Typical of the cam- paign is the Arnall poster near the Tennessee line. This was smeared by vandals, but some enterpriSing Arnall supporter posted under the smeared picture printed sign, You can smear the picture but you can't smear the man." Tal- madge posters proclaim: He kept his promises. Let's keep him."
 BOTH SIDES WAVE
 PATRIOTISM'S FLAG
 Both candidates are for God and country, but Talmadge got around to including the entire nations well fare a little late. Patriotism and the red herring of the racial issue are being Haunted by Talmadge.
 Early in the campaign the Ar nall faction reminded one and all that in 1883, Herman Talmadge, son of the governor, made a trip to Japan at the expense of the Japanese government. Since Her. man joined the Navy-he's now a lieutenant, junior grade-the mat ter has been largely forgotten.
 One of Talmadge's henchmen called Arnan a draft-dodger in this war. This prompted some Arnallite to write the Atlanta Journal that in the last war Gene was down on Sugar Creek, armed with a frog gig, looking for German U-boats. There has been no further refer ence to Arnall's draft status. He is married and has son, Alvanfl 4. TALMADGE'S PAPER
 IS FOR TALNIADGE
 Talmadge often refers to the press as them lying newspapers" As publisher of The Statesman "E "Editor-The People; Associate Ediotr - Eugene Talmadge" - he doubtless considers it unbiased. It's one of the few papers wholly for Talmadge in this campaign.
 In fact. there probably never was a political campaign with such unified press against the incumbent.
 Talmadge, himself. judging by his utterances, considers the Att lanta Journal and the Atlanta Con-
