A newspaper with a subscription list the size of The Georetan s D ends a great deal °f Urn© and money each year collecting and renewing Its subscriptions. Experience has shown that the use of special prizes and the employment of experts to do this work Is a wise Investment from 1 bust! ness standpoint. \Ve simply contract with an expert who knows the man agement of these things as the engineer knows his engine. We have taken a special office In the Austell building, room 831, In which to conduct the work; a large force of ass slants will conduct the contest and person ally Visit Almost every home In Georgia. The Georgian and News Is main ly a Georgia papei^—It goes some to other states, but not nearly so much ns other POpen ' d .° ” ot . try t0 « et circulation much outside of Geor gia. \\e are making ft a home paper. This opportunity Is superior to most similar ones given here before, because the wealth of prizes which have seldom been equaled are to be divided to Atlanta and Georgia alone As we have told our readers, the advertiser, who pays three times as much toward the expense of newspapers as the reader oavs needs lar.ro emulations to bring him customers. So newspapers can afford to give these Inducements from time to time for the benefits they bring their ad vertisers. The Georgian Is going to 30.000 homes now, and we expect to add front fi ve to ten thousand more before this contest ends In Febru ary- These so-called prizes are genuine and will be exhibited In promi nent places soon. The Georgian does not simply give them away—for we get much In return—but the one who wins the prize need make no ?hls a gi'veS /or h« benefhf t0 * The Oeorglan and «»« the votes There are ,94 Prizes to be given away—among which are $1,000 in Gold; one $2,000 Automobile, one $650 Runabout, twenty trips to Cuba, twenty Dixie Business College Scholarships—stenographic or commercial—five Musical Scholarships at Klindworfch Conservatory of Music, covering 36 weeks; five complete Scholarships in Cox College, College Park; fifteen Solitaire Diamonds, to be seen at Schaull & May’s, and fifteen Gold Watches, to be seen at Crankshaw’s; ten Kingsbury Upright Pianos, $350 each, from Cable Piano Co., and one Grand Piano. ON Iffi CHARITY Grand Filled to Overflowing When She Began Address. Great men and great women have been heard In Atlanta and large au diences have been present to greet them, but no larger audience ever filled the Grand Opera house than that which listened to Miss Jane Addams, the noted Chicago sociologist and philan thropist, Sunday afternoon. Standing room was at a premium long before the tittle arrived for Miss Addams to speak. Every seat was oc cupied, the boxes were filled to over flowing—even those on the top tier— and many people were standing In the rear of the house. So greit was the crowd that It was necessary to close the doors and refuse admission to any more. It was Atlanta’s compllmept to this great woman on her first public ap pearance here, and It - Is doubtful if any other woman In America Would have attracted such an audience. Cer tainly It would have required the pres ence of a most noted man to do the same thing. This audience, too, was a peculiar one. It was a representative audience. It was not composgd of any one class. It was compoied of Atlantans, rich and poor, prominent and obscure, young and old. These people had heard of Miss Addams and her wonderful work In bettering the conditions among the poor and down-trodden, and they were nre In- Atlanta, blit take In Chicago end New York, there were dlsgmrerul tenement bouses which produced lu themselves, which perpetuated through the house one case ufter another of tnoercnlosls. which brought certain diseases which grow where there Is not sufficient light and air. and so the city Itself took hold of that situation; It passed teuement-buuse regulations; It got together ami hired a large number of Inspectors who that those regulations were en forced. there were Inrge numb deep problem, which would only be solved when the people understand and operate together to better conditions which were the cause of this prob lem. So many of the people who heard Miss Addams speak learned things about which they had little, if any, knowledge, and the talk they heard made them feel they had a responsibil ity and a share In the problem which the Associated Charities Is striving to solve In Atlanta. The result was an awakening and a determination upon the part of many to Join In the work of the Associated Charities. Robert F. Maddox Presides, Robert F. Maddox, treasurer of the Associated Charities and a man inter ested in Its work, presided In the ab sence of J. K. Orr, who was unexpect edly called out of the city. In a short but graceful speech he Introduced Miss Addams, and In so doing paid her a high tribute. He called attention to the fact that, while he had Introduced many men. this was the first woman he had hod the pleasuro of Introducing. Miss Addams Is gifted with a quiet eloquence that reaches her hearers and remains with them. She discussed the great problems with which she had come in contact In a conversational way and In an earnest manner. For forty minutes she spok». and during all that time she had the closest attention of her audience. She had no notes, but she never lacked for a word. It was easy for her to speak about those things which have been her life-work. The subject of Miss Addams’ talk was “Newer Ideals In Phllanthrophy,” SSnhuJi'whmh «M V fa r rv.V h UlTa U a?u y con 0 alvea.iy apparent in the re,luotlon „f erlm, FronUB*AWe^»h^ed*L < l$ mls^'alli pe, " > "’ ,D ft fit/ ...... _ . people who knew the tenement house condi tions, who went to visit there for one rea son or another.

The Ignorance of American people with _je conditions and problems of the poor, compared with what the people of Euro pean countries know of this, wa» pointed out by Miss Addams. She attributed this to the democracy and prosperity of this country and gave an Illustration of how little some Chicago people knew of efforts that were being made some years ago to better conditions. Children’s Playgrounds. Playground* for children and their necca- slty ns a mean* for removing the cause of poverty and crime and the making of better men and women out of children were dis cussed thoroughly by Miss Addams. She told of the establishment of extensive play grounds and gymnasiums aud baths In Chi cago for the children of the streets and tenements, and said the effect on them waa lIHIHIHIIIMIMlINHIItlMMMIIMMIItllHIMIIHHIlHHIlHHNIIIINIHII POLITICAL POTS ARE BOILING '••MHINIMItHHHHNIHMINMI IIHIUHIMIMHMHHMI :□ TAFT'S BOOM IS GROWING FAST Opinion in Washington Is That He Will Be Choice. poverty and suffering and crime can be lessened by removin* the muse, by bet tering conditions and by education. Miss Addams told how f these prob lems were not peculiar to Chicago and New York alone, but that any large city waa confronted with the same problems. Problems of Cities. The growth of cities and the growth of Industrial population make these problems. Miss Addams pointed out, and In a few words she explained how organized charity worked to grapple with these problems. “So It faces us all then, all of us who have chosen to live in cities—it faces us squarely and fairly, what are Interested to know more about It and we going to do to make life more rea- hearlng her tell what >he had learned. , American people are charitable. They will help others as quick as any other nationality, and Atlantans share this trait as largely as do the Americans of other cities. But they hadn’t made as deep a study of the question as have the people of some other cities, where there are women like Miss Addams to spread the gospel. So they wanted to know more. _ And they did learn more. They learn ed that charity means lots of things they never thought of before. They learned that it mean more and was a greater problem than the dropping of a coin In the outstretched hat of a street pan-handler. Miss Addams showed them. In her quiet, conversational way, that the work In her city of Chicago and the work being done by the As sociated Charities in Atlanta was J. C.

It is trying to guide the va rious relief societies and the various charity societies and the various berte- flolal societies that they may not du plicate each other's work, and, more important than that, that they may not leave neglected large zectlona of the city becauae that auction or those zec tlona do not seem to belong primarily to any one of them. "Such a central body has another function not only to avoid overlapping, not only to avoid large areas of neglect, but becauae they are a central body to see matters a* a whole, to anticipate some of the difficulties which otherwise I would overtake the city, and to Iqok | and deal with some of Ihese general' things which must perforce belong to the city as a whole. A great many years ago the first book was written on American charities; It was written by a Southern man, and he compared a charitable case to a case of typhoid fever and the wav that It was admin istered to, to one of three ways, accord ing to the temperament of the phyel- clan.

The board of Hhc pointed out, too. how these play ground* and « chance for boy* to endeavor io ! excel each other In games and sports imide better men of them and more useful citizens. Compulsory education and the educating of children along industrial lines was taken up, sud Miss Addams showed how children were saved from the awest shop and made to become skilled op—“ ~ earning power. In tn — of these children were shown that It was to their advantage to allow the children to remain In school when they could have been put to work and earning pittances In sweat shops.

It hurt me so to move about In'bed that I would lie there for a long time before I gained enough courage to turn over. The secretions from the kidneys were very unnatural, being full of sediment and hard to con trol. I also lost a great deal of sleep on account of the lack of control over them. I used remedy after remedy, but nothing had the slightest effect on me, and work became a burden and I went about more dead than alive. I was at tracted to Doan's Kidney Pills by an advertlaement In the paper and went to Brannen A Anthony's drug store, 102 Whitehall street (also SO Marietta street), and got a box. The use of this remedy brought about a wonder ful change. The pain has gone and the urine has been natural and free.
