HOW A FORMER ATLANTAN
AIDED SIRICKEN 'FRISCO;
CITY IS BEING REBUILT
Macon, Oa, Oct 19.—“The high
price of labor and building material.,'
together with the uncertain value of
land alnce the earthquake and Are, la
now keeping 1900,000,000 from being In
vested In San Francisco."
This Is tip statement made by Dr.
Jacob Voorsanger, one of the most
prominent rabbis In the United States,
who Is In Macon from San Francisco,
on a visit to hla daughter, Mrs. E. A.
Wnxelbsum. .
It was Dr. Voorsanger, within
three hours after the earthquake was
actively Identlfled with the work of re
lief to the Injured and dying and It
was he who was made chairman of
the relief committee when that or
ganization had the problem of feeding
JOO.OOO homeless and destitute people
dally. No man who lived through the
awful days of the ’Frisco catastrophe
Is better qualified to talk of the con
ditions existing In the Golden Gate
City today than Dr. Voorsanger.
$500,000,000 to Invest.
“While the city.” says Dr. Voorsan
ger, 'is now doing more business than
ever before In Its history and while
there Is a large amount of building
being done, the majority of the busi
ness of the great city of the Pacinc
slope la being transacted In temporary
wooden shacks and Just when the
*500,000,000 which the people of the
c|ty have to Invest In building will be
turned loose, cannot be determined un
til the three causes for the. holding of
this money have been removed.
"At present the business center of
the city Is removed to nnother section
and as a result land values along Van
Xess avenue, which was 1 a residence
thoroughfare before' the lire, have
Jumped from 1500 a front foot
*1,000 and even *2,000. Because of
this and nlso because of the high
wages prevailing and the high price
of building materials, persons owning
land In the former business center of
the city hesitate about rebuilding per
manent structures. Of course some
have been rebuilt and others which
were only partially destroyed are be
ing repaired.
"Whether or not the section of the
city where high land values formerly
prevailed will again become the valu-
est prices,, too. He says that as soon
as'rebuilding Is decided upon generally,
(here will'.be work for 50,000 more
men.
Hr, Voorsanger told of’the scenes
Just after: the earthquake while the
city, was being .swept -block by block
by the flames. Within three hours af
ter the earthquake had wrought Its
havoc, a relief force had been thor
oughly organised with 1,000 trained
nurses and 500 doctors, assisted by
an automobile brigade. When this
work of rescuingr-the • imperilled .and
taking rare of the Injured and dead
Was finished, the committee of which
Voofbanger was chairman, was
confronted with the problem of feed
ing the 300,000 of homeless and how
well this was accomplished Is now
known over the world.
It will come as pleasant news to
Georgia people to know that the street
railway company In San Franrisco, o'
which Hon. Pat Calhoun, a former At
fir “Princess Anne** Out
able business center of the city
question. But the fact that the ho
tels. banks and newspapers are re
building on the old sites Is taken as
an Indication that these values will
again he high."
Work For 50,000 Laborers.
Continuing, Dr. Voorsanger says
that even with these conditions exist
ing there Is plenty of work to be had
by mechanics and work at the hlgh-
tle In getting t
tlon.
Hauled Passengers Free.
"This company,” said Dr. Voorsan
ger, "Is deserving of the highest
praise and It was one of the factors
that helped no little In bringing the
city out of chaos. Within forty-eight
hours after the fire was controlled,
workmen of the company dug through
debris piled In the streets and the
general manager himself took out tbs
first car over the streets of our
stricken city. And rapidly large gangs
of workmen repaired the broken wires
and twisted rails until within
markably short time the entire system
was In full operation.
"Then It was that the company
showed a patriotic and charitable
spirit. While thousands of sympathiz
ing Americans all over the United
States were contributing their share
to help the stricken people, the street
railway company did Its share. It did
this by cnrrylng passengers free for a
week until people began to caro for
themselves. It can be truthfully said
that this company helped wonderfully
In assisting the people.”
The beautiful synagogue over which
Dr. Voorsanger presided was ruined by
tho Are and now plans have been com
pleted by the congregation for the
erection of a magnificent *500,000 syn
agogue.
Dr. Voorsanger will go to New York
from Macon, and after remaining there
a few days he will go abroad and will
be gone for severnl months. In recog
nition of his services to San Francisco
in the dark days, he was made, to
gether with General Fred Funston and
ex-Mayor James D. Phelan, an honor
ary member of the National Red Cross
Society.

Did Him No Good
How One Man Wasted 50 Years of His
Life. Thousands Like Him.
"What’s the ase of satin’, nnyhow?”
said the scrawny dyspeptic to his ro
tund. prosperous-looking friend.
"Here I’ve been eatln’ three times a
day, and sometimes twice a day, far 50
years, and look nt me. I’m rawboned
and skinny, still at the bottom of the
ladder, sour on the world, and a pes
simist. I know It, and I can’t help It.
If I had It to do over again, though,
I would take care of my, stomach, for
I don’t believe I ever really relished a
meal In. my life, not even mother's
Christmas dinners, and I firmly believe
that my way of eating, or whatever It
was, brought along with It darkness
and Impossibility of success.”
"You're right." nodded his compan
ion. "Of course, that Isn't always the
esse, llut In this age we must not only
Trust In the Lord and keep our pow
der dry.’ but we must swallow, sunshine
with our food. Cheerfulness, especial
ly while eating, which Is the most es
sential act of man. Is as necessary to
hhn as sunshine is to the tlowers.
Nothing normal can be produced in
darkness.
"But this Is what you haven't been
doing, Mr. Dyspeptic. Your brain and
your stomach, remember, are twins,
and vou have to treat them according
ly. Why not start now and repair, ths
damage you’ve done? It Is never too
late, you know."
"You mean nt my age? And sup
pose you can’t always get the sun
shine?"
"Absolutely, yea. Science has made
It possible to get the sunshine, the
health and the strength that your
stomach needs, all put up together In
little tablets. They call them Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, the most effective
tablets In the world for this very thing.
One Ingredient In these tablets digests
3,000 grains of food without the hel
of the stomach. Two tablets after esc
meal ran do more work, quicker work
and better work. In digesting a heavy
meal, than the stomach can Itself. The
stomach need not work at all. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets does all the work,
and gives your Jaded stomach a rest,
the rest It needs. Meanwhile you cure
yourself of brash. Irritation, burning
sensation, heartburn, sour stomach,
acidity, fermentation, bloat, and the
worst cases of dyspepsia and Indiges
tion. You get rid of these for all time.
And then, besides, you can eat all you
want and whenever you want, and you
will also relish mother’s Christmas din
ners If you will take Stuart’s Dyspep
sia Tablets after eating. That’s the
sunshine I was talking about. Then
your face will reflect the Internal
change going on, you'll be clearer, you
will have more confidence >ln yourself,
you'll be happier, and you’ll be yourself
again.
"Your heart will change and you’ll
feel rosy. You'll enjoy your meals—
and live. Let's walk down to the drug
store and let me Introduce you to one
little package of these Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets. You can get them at
any drug store In the world for only
5*c a package. It Is worth a, Mr.
Dyspeptic."

W. B. Mitchell, president of the
Georgia commleslon to the Jamestown
culture T, G. Hudson, also a member
of this commission, are considering the

Weighing 100 pounds. In the exhibit
were also shown nearly 2,000 Jars of
preserves, more than 500 bottles of
home-made wine, and numerous other
domestic articles.
The most remarkable thing In con
nection with the exhibit Is the fact
that, with Just a few exceptions, every
thing was raised by Mr. Miller on a
one-horse farm.
The exhibit of Bartow county, while
being, quite as artistically arranged
was not as comprehensive and was,
therefore, awarded only second prise.
