A New and Stylish Stetson
that Men Like Immensely
HERE is one of the most beautiful
hats we have ever shown—it’s the
feature hat from the superb line of Fall
Stetsons.
A remarkably graceful and dressy hat,
with just the touch of smartness that all
like to see in these young feeling days.
One thing that surprises us— its becom
ingness to such a large number of men.
The cue for men this season is to wear
better quality in their hats—and we are
proud of our Stetsons, every one of them.
You will want one of the Stetson Comfort
Derbies too, to alternate with your soft hat

We’re not here long, so let’s make
cur stay agreeable. Let us live w’ell,
cat well, digest well, work well, sleep
well, and look well, what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one wil only adopt the
| morning inside bath.
i Folks who are accustomed to feel
I dull and heavy when they arise, spHt
i ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul

jby opening the sluices of the system
' each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
[nant matter.
| Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
| well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
I phosphate in it to wash from the
j stomach, liver and bowels the previous
' day’s indigestible waste, sour bile
, and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
i food into the stomach. The action of
i hot water and limestone phosphate on
( en empty stomach is wonderfully In
vigorating. It cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and
I acidity and gives one a splendid ap
petite for breakfast. While you are
; enjoying your breakfast, the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting a
large volume of water from the blood
and getting ready for a thorough
flushing of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, billions
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow complexions are urged to
get a quarter pound of limestone phos
phate from the drug store. This will
cost very little, but is sufficient to
make anyone a pronounced crank on
the subject of inside-bathing before
breakfast. advt,

“The river Parana,” declares the
prospectus of a real estate agent in
Parana, Brazil, “is the most watery
in the state, one of the most extended
in the ■tforld, it is navigable until to
this state for ships of great profound
ness; it is also sufficiently fishful.”
This same cheerful chap it is who
further asseverates that "the vegeta
ble reign is excessfully represented in
resinous, oily and gummous plants.”
ND SHOHUCE COMPLAINED
OF FROM AMERICAS
(Ccntinued from Page 1.)
Louisville and Nashville has been un
able to get back. It is understood that
negotiations are in progress for a set
tlement of the question between the
Louisville and Nashville and the Sea
board.
Never before in the history of the
South has a shortage of freight cars
been so acute as at present. Both
carriers and shippers have been mak
ing serious efforts to relieve the situa
tion, but apparently so far without ma
terial results.
To the Georgia railroad commission
has come complaints in large number.
Cotton merchants are continually
complaining of being unable to get
cars to move the staple. Shippers of
ether items of freight are likewise
complaining. A mining concern at
Cartersville stated to the commission
that it has $20,000 worth of ore lying
beside the railroad tracks in urgent
need of immediate shipment, but with
out hope of obtaining cars in which
to transport it. I

may have to be taken to relieve the

Carriers have suggested an increas

such as charging a shipper $2 for the

the third day and $5 for the fourth and
every day thereafter that a car is kept

The car shortage situation is not
confined to Georgia, but is general
throughout the Southeast, as well as
in other sections of the country, and
Southern state commissions, other
the Georgia commission, are beiflK
called upon to aid in the solution of
this problem.
