this country will be male ai. the six-
feenth annual convention of the Na-
rlona.1 Association of Manufarturers,
ro be held at the Waldorf-Astoria,
Xew York city. Ma> 15. 16, 17.
The fact that the casualties re-
siUtlng from Industrial activities have
finally reached a stupendous total
annuallr uith corresjwnding human
suffering, loss of national efficiency
and of property, has made accident
prevention the most importAnt prob
lem now confronting the industrial
world.
Th« forthcoming ronvention of the
.National Assoriation of Manufactur
er* will he used as the means for a
jcreat gathering of manufacturers and
others Interested in accident pre
vention and TTorkmen’s compensation.
Many of the largest industrial corpo
ration* a* well a? the rank and file
of manufacturers are actively ro-oper-
.-iMng with the association, and the-
result undoubtedly will be a dt-

HHil ff^r purposes of practical de-

It is expected thaf this exhibit will

co-operative aid In appliance equip-
men^ Manufacturers attending the
conclave will be asked to register
their requirements to the end that

ex^'eeds three thousand impbrtant
manufacturers, this co-operative sys-
Tpii? ^'ill place at the service of each
nv-niber the most effective preveo-
ri'-n devices of the entire country.
Tl'e exhibit nlH also include such es-

about a reiorm in the present meth

ment.*? will also be made to secure
tbf> active co-operation of employers’
a.ss«j( iation!= and public bodies of
th^ country not only in the preven-
Tinn of ;t' cident.B. but also in standard-
Izinc 'vorkmen’s compensation bills
th* various states.
The presen' attitude of mauufactur-
f-r- in general as evidenced by the
d*'nrpad interest shown in acci
dent prevf'Uiiot) and industrial relief
1g embodied in a statement made
ill a recent issue of .American Indus
tries, offlcial organ of the associa
tion. as foilows:
“The time is i.aat for argument as
to responsibility for conditions. The
urgent need of action is be\ond dis-
put^e. The publis is directly con
cerned in an immediate solution; the
“workman i» vitally interested, and the
manufacturer frankliy acknowledges
that wrongs evlst and must be right-
pd. How best to right the wrongs
with equal justice to all is the prob
lem. It would be manifestly absurd
to abandon present methods for oth-
Ms equally unsatisfactory, it is well
known that Germany, for instance,
has aiudied the many questions in-
Tolved. Is it not logical that we
Rhould seek to benefit by her experi-
enc«6, and should adapt tried and
proven methods to our our needs?
Rvery workman and employer should
irlve the subjects careful considera
tion 80 that laws effective and equi
table to both workman and employer
wUl repiace those which have become
fibsolete and an economical burden to
•ur indtistries.”
John Kirby, .Ir. president of the as
sociation, who ha.s taken an active
leadership in this important cam
paign, describes the movement as fol
lows:
“The purpose of the work is pri
marily educational, but we have now
reached a point where theoretical
discussion must give way to practi
cal demonstration which will result In
thep reventlon of accidents as far as
human energy and intelligence can
bring It about. The whole plan as
oomprehended by the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, is to af
ford all clas8e.s, the public, the work
man and the employer, an opportunity
Intelligently to readjust existing con
ditions to the end that industrial ac-
'.ldenta will be reduced to a minimum
and the injured or incapacitated given
[the maximum relief from every dollar
expended for that purpose. In that
reits the main problem. One of the
(XQOSt surprising and important facts
,brought out by our commissioners
In their reports which form the ba*
of our book “Accident Prevontion
and Relief,” i* that German workmen
•receive practically twice as much
from each dollar expended as the
American workman. In other words
there is a 50 per cent waste in in
dustrial relief as practiced in this
country. Of each dollar expended in
Germany the workman receives 77
per cent. In America this percentage
Is lees than 40 per cent. Not only is
it a direct loss to the workers, but
it is also poor business. It Implies
either poor management or unsatis
factory laws which certainly demands
» chai^ la penditioiui and It 1» that
change the association is endeavoring
to bring about beginning with our
forthcoming convention.”

HAVE YOU KIDNEY TROUBLE?
How to Find Out.
Pill a bottle of common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-fouV
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the Kid
neys: if it stains your linen it is evi
dence of kidney trouble; too frequent
desire to pass it or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the Kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
What to Do.
Go to Bowen’s Drug Store and get
a fiOc box of BLOODINE BLOOD
AND KIDNEY TABLETS and if they
do not help you Bowen’s Drug Store
will give yon your money back.
There is comfort In the knowledge
BO often expressed that BLOODINE
BLOOD AND KIDNEY TABLETS,
the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain In
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
They correct inability to hold water
and scalding pain In passing It, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to tgf of
ten during the day, and to get ill?
many times during the night. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of BLOOD
INE BLOOD AND KIDNEY TAB
LETS Is soon realized. They stand
the highest for their wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. By

HARMONY!
It is a blessed thing, we are taught for brethren to dwell together in unity, and our observa
tion is, that discords are not only unproductive, but they are distinctly destructive, and every pos
sible cause for strife shoul be avoided.
This Company is an advocate of peace and good will In all things where - principle" is - not - itf-
volved, therefore it preaches the doctrine of harmony.
Some good friends will see the point of these remarks—for others we will illustrate. The ob
servant man has frequently seen family feuds which arose over the settlement of-estates by a mem
ber of the family or some friend; favoritism is often shown, etc., etc.
Any possible cause for friction in YOUR family may be avoided by naming this Company Ex
ecutor and Trustee of your estate. We simply follow tiie directions laid down in the will and
have no favorites to play.

Blackshear, Ga., May 6.—Additional
facilities and numerous changes in
management of the State Sanitarium
at Milledgeville, Ga., are recommend
ed by John T. Brantley, superintend
ent of the institution, in his report
made public today.
According to his statement, there
w'ere at the close of the year 3,347 pa
tients, the number having been admitt
ed during the year being the larges
year’s reception since the institution
was established. The cost of running
the sanitarium was given at $405,388.
The cost of each patient was a little
more than 37 cents per day, or $137,.48
for the year.
Among the recommendations are:
Fifty additional nurses; better equip
ment for the medical corps; enlai^e-
ment of the negro quarters; abandon
ment of the practice of committing
to this institution the senile and
harmless imbeciles and paralytics,
whom the superintendent declares are
harmless, and the establishment of a
separate hospital for epileptics.
