“I DOH BELIEVE I'D
BE LIVING IF I HDD
NOT M TANLAC"
Mrs. Thomas Was in Bed for
Weeks at a Time and Suf
fered Almost Beyond Endur
ance-Gains 26 Pounds
“I honestly ‘don't believe I would be
living today if it hadn't been for Tan
lac," said Mri Mattie Thomas. 511 Bell
•venue, Chattanooga. Tenn., a few days
•<O.
“I had been in very poor health for a
long time.” continued Mrs. Thomas, ''and
two or three years ago I simply- went all
► to piece.- and ever since that time my
•offering was terrible until 1 got relief
* by taking Tanlac. I suffered with indi
gestion al 1^ the time and would have
nervous chills and get so weak I could
hardly stand up.
“I had no appetite and siiffered-almost
constantly with dizzy headaches. My
food seemed to do me harm instead of
good and I fell off until weighed only
. ninety-nine pounds. I suffered almost be
yond endurance and was confined to my
bed off and on for four and five weeks
- at a time and. with all the medicines 1
tried, I kept going down hill.
“Yes, sir. the day 1 took my first dose
of Thnlac I just weighed ninety-nine
pounds and felt so wretched I was al
most in despair. But there has been a
wonderful change in my condition since
then and I am almost grateful for what
Tanlac has done for me. It was just
what I needed-and I began to feel better
almost as soon‘as I began taking it.
“I didn't get well all at once but I
gradually improved as I took Tanlac
every day. After taking six bottles I
found that I was twelve pounds heav
ier. and although I felt strong and well.
I kept on taking it for I wanted to make
sure my troubles were entirely overcome-
I have now taken twelve bottles of Tan
lac and weigh 125 pounds—have actually
gained twenty-six jlounds—and I have
never felt better in all my life, and I
believe my health is better in every wa Y
. than it has ever been. This is just what
Tanlac has done for me and I think I
have the beet reasons in the world for
praising it.”
Tanlac is sold by one regularly estab
‘ lished agency in every town. —(Advt.)

BIG CROWD SEES
HUMAN FLY SHIN
UP SKYSCRAPER
Harry Gardiner Climbs Fourth
National Bank Building in
Presence of Thousands De
spite Rain-Soaked Bricks
Harry Gardiner, the Human Fly,
climbed the Fourth National Bank
building Tuesday afternoon in the pres
ence of a crowd several thousand strong
that packed Five Points from sidewalk
to sidewalk.
He began climbing at 12:30 o'clock
the Scheduled time, crawling up the
.sheer Marietta street side foot by foot.
3-t five minutes to 1 o'clock he lifted
himself over the edge of the roof.
Then, as much out of sheer bravado
as anything else, he scuttered up the
liagpole on top of the building lixe a
monkey up a ship’s mast and hung at
the peak for a moment weaving his hand
to the crowd below, which roared its
approval.
Fifteen minutes before the hour
scheduled for the Fly’s feat, hundreds
of people dribbled toward the building.
By 12:30 the crowd was thick, a mass
that completely choked Five Points, ex
tended half a block up Marietta street,
nearly a block down Decatur street and
Edgewood avenue and as far up Peach
tree as Auburn avenue.- where the spec
tators had a* full front view of the side
of the building and Gardiner, a white
midget, on its side.
ELECTION NIGHT CROWD.
The crowd was as conglomerate as any
election night mob. There were hun
dreds of women, many children. From
office-bnlldings on every hand and from
the windows of the Fourth National
bank building itself, heads craned out.
As cars and automobiles jangled their
way through the crush, passengers
swarm'ed to one side of tne car and only
the moterman kept his eyes ahead.
It had been raining all night and well
into the morning, so that the steep side
of the building looked wet and sinister.
“He won’t try it. too wet," the whis
per ran through the crowd, but Gardiner
never flinched.
Promptly on the minute he wrapped
his feet around the first layer of bricks
and began to shunt upward like a trig
ger up a sapling after a 'possum in the
topmost branch. .
He climbed by the columns between
the windows, digging his fingers seem
ingly into the solid brick, but in reality
grasping the thin, narrow space that
succeeded each other at regular inter
vals. At every floor he swung himself
into the mouth of the window and
stopped to breathe a moment and wave
his hand to the crowd.
From the first cornice, thirty feet
from the ground, there is an * unvaried
stretch of columns and windows, to an
other, about thirty feet short of the
roof. It was evident that It would be
comparatively simple work for Gardiner
to make that Intervening distance. The
tug would come at the end of the climb,
when he must hunch himself over the
second cornice, skin up another column
; and by apparently impossible craft, wig
gle under and over the roof that pro
| jected far out over the building.
But though the crowd did not doubt the
fly's ability, there was a silent, tense
strain on all as they watched tilm. A
glance at the crowd showed a field of up
lifted faces, turned toward the lowering
sky. as if they waited for the gray to
break and a bolt shoot down from the
' blue.
. But in reality ever}’ P*<r of eyes
was on the Fly, shinning and struggling
and looping himself Into window after
window. •. \
HE SLIPS.'
Once he slipped —feet'shot out from
under him, swinging back and forth
like a pendulum—and a woman choked
a scream. * '
Gardiner turned and grinned at the
field* of faces.
‘Til bet he did it on purpose!” ex
claimed the woman peevishly; then
caught her breath as the Fly worked
himself up another notch.
At the cornices Gardiner propped him
self on his elbows and his hands clench
ed across the stone, until, swinging
back and forth as a vaulter might on
the parallel bars, he could throw his
legs up and over the cornice. This was
spectacular enough when Gardiner did
it on the first cornice, but at the second.
Tiigh above the street, it-was well nigh
sickening.
part of Gardiner’s climb
—judging from the time he spent over
it —nearly five whole minutes!—was the
space between the last cornice and the
I root. He tried column after column, and
when he finally fixed upon one, fumbled
for a long time about it before he finally
chinned the roof, placed one leg over the
edge and scrambled to safety.
From the crowd went up a roar.
Gardiner waved his hands and shouted
a shrill message that was carried away
in the great distance.
Then —as the big throng went their
ways, exclaiming and marveling, the
Human Fly ran up the flag pole, ran
down again, and the show was over.
House Screams When

In ‘Leak’ Probe Debate
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 17.—Con
gressman William . Schley Howard
brought the house to its feet in an up
roar of laughter and applause today. The
house had under consideration the reso

;to protest against the employment of
Samuel Untermeyer. Representative

» 12 Hughes?"
•'Well,” said Mr. Howard, pausing and
’ 'linking for a moment, “my mother al

[Such an uproar of laughter from the
galleries and the house greeted this re

for several minutes. The Republicans
did not again suggest Mr. Hughes as

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL* ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1917.
JUDGE ANDREW J, COBB
TOES OATH OF OFFICE
Many Friends See Jurist Sworn
as Judge of the West
ern Circuit
Judge Andrew J. Cobb, of Athens, a
former justice of the state supreme
court and one of the distinguished law
yers of the state, took the oath of ofiice
as judge of the western circuit of the
superior court-in the ofiice of Governor
Harris Wednesday morning.
The ceremony was made impressive by
the presence of a number of Judge
Cobb’s fellow townsmen and state house
officials, the former having come frpm
Athens to see Judge Cobb take the oath
and to congratulate Governor Harris
upon his appointment.
Judge Charles H. Brand, who was re
cently elected to congress in the eighth
district to succeed the late Congressman
S. J.'Tribble, tendered his resignation as
ju<fge of the western circuit, and the
governnor accepted it, to become effect
ive next Sunday night, January 21, at*
12 o’clock.
Judge Cobb then stood in front of the
governor’s desk with his right hand up
lifted while the governor read the sol
emn oath of a judge, in which he swears
upon his sacred honor to administer im
partial justice among the rich and poor
alike.
After Judge Cobb had signed the oath
Governor Harris congratulated him on his
acceptance of the office and congratulat
ed the state upon securing his distin
guished services. Judge Cobb's com
mission was then presented to him by
John B. Gamble, of Athens, a promi
nent lawyer and former solicitor general
of the western' circuit. In presenting
the commission Mr. Gamble said:
“Yonr excellency, in permitting Tne
to convey and present this commission
to Georgia's purest son, truest noble
man, most gifted scholar and jurist,
you have conferred upon me an honor
which I deeply and keenly appreciate.
‘‘ln selecting Judge Andrew J. Cobb
to preside over the courts of the west
ern circuit you have elevated the ju
diciary and crowned your administra
tion with glory and honor.
“To the man of men, the lawyer with
out a fault, the judge clear in thought
and just in decision, my esteemed friend
Judge Andrew J. Cobb, I present you
this commission as judge of the su
perior court of the western circuit
knowing that you once again have re
sponded to duty’s call and that Georgia
for the second time will be honored by
your self-sacrificing service.”
Mr. Gamble then shook hands with
Judge Cobb and was followed by Judge
Brand, who declared that Governor Har
ris had made an appointment which met
with the hearty approval of every man
and woman and child in the western
circuit. Among the other citizens of
Athens who were, present were Howell
C. Erwin, the nephew and law partner
of Judge Cobb, and Judge George C.
Thomas.
Judge Samuel H. Sibley, of Union
Point, was also present, and L. M.
Brand, of Lawrenceville, the brother of
Judge Brand.
Justices Atkinson, Hill and Gilbert
of the mate supreme court, were in the
governor’s office, as were also Logan
Bleckley, clerk of the supreme court,
and Captain Goodloe H. Yancey, of the
state prison commission.

HOPE FDD DRASTIC
DRY LEGISLATION
RESTS WITH HARRIS?
I
Governor-elect Hugh M, Dor
sey’s Platform -Declaration
Causes Much Speculation
Tuesday
The fact that prohibition leaders were
endeavoring to get Governor Harris to
call an extra session of the legislature
for the purpose of amending the prohi
bition laws of Georgia so as to take ad
vantage of the recent decision of the
United States supreme court upholding
the Webb-Kenyon law brought up an in
teresting .discussion ip political circles
Tuesday. •
Some politicians take the position
that the movement to get Governor
Harris to call an extra session of the
old legislature tp enact “dry bone” leg
islation had been inaugurated because
of the well known platform declaration
of. Governor-elect Hugh M. Dorsey that
he would not approve, as governoK, any
change in the present prohibition laws
except where such change had first been
indorsed by the people.
MIL DORSEYS PLATFORM.
A reference to Mr. Dorsey’s platform,
as enunciated by him in the newspapers
on June 18, 1916, shows the following
plank on prohibition;
“I favor, and if elected governor
shall enforce in letter and spirit, to
the full limit of the powers vested
in that office, the laws prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxi
cants in this state. I shall oppose
constantly any change or modifica
tion of the present laws unless such
change or modification first has b.een
declared to be the expressed will of
the white voters of Georgia.”
Political dopesters construe this de
claration to mean that there will be no
“dry” legislation enacted at the ap
proaching session of the new legisla
ture. Further the opinion is expressed
that should the 1917 legislature go so
far as to pass an amendment prohibit
ing shipments of liquor*into the state
of Georgia Governor-elect Dorsey would
probably veto it Arguing along this
line, it was speculated.th.at the only hope,
therefore, for making Georgia’s prohibi
tion law more drastic in the near future
lay in the possibility of Governor Harris
calling an extra session of the old leg
islature before his term as governor ex
pires.
The suggestion that Governor
Harris call an extra session has
been submitted to him by sev
eral prohibition advocates. At first
he was not inclined to give the matter
serious thought, in view of the fact
that the regular session of the legis
lature will convene in June, but Sen
ator Ogden Persons, president of the
state senate, called on the governor at
the mansion Monday night and pre
sented arguments which impressed him
very much.,
The governor said Tuesday that Sen
ator Persons had presented to him “a
very strong array of arguments.” Con
tinuing, he saicj; ,“I was very much
impressed by the senator’s arguments,
and I will admit that I am interested.
The particularly forceful thing to me
is that it would be proper to give the
1915-16 legislature, which enacted the
present laws, an opportunity to com
plete their work by enacting laws in
pursuance of the United States supreme
court’s decision upholding the Webb-
Kenyon act.”
Under this decision, a state legisla
ture has the authority, without inter
fering with interstate commerce, Jo
prohibit the importation of any whis
key, wine or beer whatsoever into the
borders of a dry state.
The power of a state to go this far
was very much in doubt before the
United States supreme court made its
decision, and because of this doubt the
Georgia legislature did not attempt ab
solute prohibition of the shipment of
intoxicants into the state, but limited
shipments to two quarts of whisky, or
four quarts of wine, or forty-eight
pints of beer to one individual during
a ’period of thirty days.
In submitting the suggestion of an
extra session to the governor, Senator
Persons made the following arguments:
That the 1915-16 legislature would
have prohibited shipments of intoxi
cants into the state if its authority had
been clear; that it should now be given
an opportunity, in the light of the su
preme court's decision, to complete its
work; that the temper of the next leg
islature is still uncertain; that the cost
of an extra session of ten days would
not be more than $20,000, while the ex
penditures of the state for imported in
toxicants already run to $7,000,000 a
year.
Bibb Delegation Opposed
To Extra Prohi Session
MACON, Ga., Jan. 16.—A1l three of
Bibbs’ representatives are opposed to an
extra session of the legislature at this
time to pass any new prohibition bilk
Ben J. Fowler says an extra session
would be a needless expense. H. L.
Barfield says he is in favor of making
the law more drastic, but thinks the
regular session in June will do that.
Joe Hill Hall declares the idea of an
extra session to be an absurd one, as
the general assembly in June can make
any change should any be necessary. •
Medical Student Held
For Robbery of Train
Says He Is Grady Webb
(Bv Associated Press.)
KANSAS CITY. Jan. 17. —Officers of
the postoffice department today arrested
a student of a local medical school in
connection iwth the theft of SIOO,OOO
in unsigned currency from a Baltimore
and Ohio train near Dodridge, W. Va.,
October 8, 1914. The announcement was
made that a part of the currency was
recovered. It was being shipped from
the treasury department to western
banks.
Officers said the man arrested, al
though known here under the name
of White, had declared himself to be
H. Grady Webb,, for whom they had
been searching following the arrests in
various cities of three other men in
connection with the crime. The man’s
age was given as thirty-three years, al
though, as a student at the medical col
lege, he “looked to be only twenty
five.”
The amount of the currency recovered
was placed at less than SI,OOO, the offi
cers saying that it was found in his
possession. Another medical student
had given them information concern?
ing the man, they declared.
Information here in regard to the
robbery was that four men forced the
train crew to run the engine and mail
car several miles from the remainder
at Jhe train. Then the registered
A Great Responsibility.
’T'HE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children
* is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies
for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any
injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been
for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher.
What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake ? What are their
responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter
their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow.
Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prescription for
Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared: could they read the innumerable testimonials from
grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments
of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute for, the tried and true
Fletcher’s Castoria.

more than crops and animal products
combined in any year prior to 1912.

406.000,000; hay, $1,162,000,000; wheat,
$1,296,000,000. Other erbps that ex
