Number 22
MASS MEETING HELD THIS EVENING
For the Purpose of Organizing a Live Cham
ber of Commmerce Here.
Meeting on Court House. Grounds
Most Cordially Invited.
All Are
YOU ARE INVITED.
A mass meeting will be held at 8
o'clock this evening on the Court
House lawn that means much to Ce
dartown, and it is one in which every
citizen of Cedartown ought to take a
lively interest.
At the Kiwanis Club from time
to time the matter of organizing a
Chamber of Commerce has been dis
cussed, and a couple of weeks ago it
was decided that the time for action
had come.
Mr. C. I. Scarbrough— “Slats,” as
he is known by his brother Kiwanians
—was made chairman of a commit
tee* to test public sentiment on the
subject. He is a hustler from IIub-
tleville—meaning, of course, that he
is one of Cedartown’s most wide-a
wake citizens,—and he got busy and
put in a few hours seeing folks.
A splendid unanimity of senti
ment was found, and in a very short
time he secured donations of over
$1,800, and membership pledges of
217 of our live citizens at $1.50 a
month for the next twelve months.
Money talks, so “Slats” didn't stop
with taking signatures, but got both
s the contributions and the first
month's dues in cash.
And that is what everyone will a-
I gree is the finest kind of a start.
“Slats” reported his success at the
Kiwanis luncheon Friday, and it was
; enthusiastically received.
It was decided that with 117 paid
members as a nucleus, taken ns a
! test of Cedartown’s willingness to
' undertake the project, it is best to
organize at once, inviting every citi-
| zen of Cedartown to become a mem-
i bci '-
I A muss meeting is accordingly call-
( ed for 8 o'clock this evening on the
Court House lawn, to which every cit-
1 izen of Codnrtown is cordially invit
ed.
At the meeting this evening officers
will be elected and plans perfected
| for future work.
1 In helping Cedartown you take the
best possible means of helping your
self, and you should certainly be
come identified with this important
progressive movement.
Don’t fail to join the Chamber of
Commerce, and be sure to attend the
meeting this evening

AUSPICIOUSLY OPENS NEW

The new home of the Rockmart
Woman’s Club was opened Friday
with a very enjoyablo reception In

work of Mrs. T. E. McBryde in se
curing subscriptions for it; the Club
had accumulated a fund about half
large enough to put up the building,
and arrangements were made for the
balance ;and now President Flournoy,
of the Southern States Portland Ce

You can be over-fed and yet prac
tically starve to death. It is not how
much you eat but what you eat that
counts in the matter of nourishment,
nnd there is no doubt thnt most peo
ple could add many years to their
lives by paying proper attention to
what and how they cat.
One of the most valunblo contribu
tions to the store of public knowledge
on this subject was made recently by
Dr. Seale Harris, of Birmingham, the
distinguished president of the South
ern Medical Association, in an ad
dress before a gathering of health of
ficers in Atlanta. This is of especial
interest here from the fact thnt Dr.
Harris is an old Cedartown boy, who
has attained eminence as a specialist
in diseases of the stomach. The ad
dress is as follows;—
Dr. Harris’ Address.
One of the great discoveries of
this age is what is known ns the lso-
dynamic luw, i. e., that food is con
sumed in the human body much in
the same way that an engine burns
coal; and that the daily amount of
food needed for an individual at rest
or at work can be mensured by heat
units as can be done with the fuel for
a locomotive to make a short or long
run. The simple principles of food
values cun be understood by a 10-
year old boy or girl who can be
taught in an hour how to estimate
the number of calories in each of his
three daily meals,
"It is not enough, however, to
know simply the amounts of fats,
starches and proteins that one should
eat. He or she should also know
something of vitamins thnt recently
have been proved to exist in various
foods. That, too, is simple, and a
practical usable knowledge of vita
mins can be learned in an hour or
two by any person over ten and of
average intelligence.
Vitamin A that exists in milk, and
its products, butter, chccBe, etc., nnd
in the green vegetables and in many
other foods, protects against tuber- ]
culosis, pellagra and diseases of that
class. Vitamin B, found in the out
er portion, the germ Inyer, of wheut,!
corn and rice, that the mills take
from us, and also in many fresh veg- :
etablcs, prevents beri-heri and other
nervous diseases; while C, derived
from the juice of the yellow fruits
nnd vegetables, i. c., oranges, lemons,
grape fruit, tomatoes, etc., prevents
scurvy.
The unfortunate cify dweller can
not have his own cow nnd his own
garden, but the dairyman and the
truck farmers cun supply him and his
family with the milk,butter and fresh
vegetables that should be the most
important part of his daily food. A
quart of milk u day, fresh fruit and
green vegetables every day in the
year, added to bread nnd a little
meat, fowl or fish, and n light dessert
once a day, make up the perfect nu
tritional day.
The properly nourished person of
any age is less liable to catch the con
tagious diseases than the fat and the
lean classes. I have never seen n well
nourished individual develop tuber
culosis, and when all the people know
what and how much to eat, and live
accordingly, the “great white plague’
will disappear from the earth. So will
all other diseases be decreased; but
health, happiness, efficiency and long
evity will be increased and scientific
medicine will have achieved another
great triumph.
With every new scientific discov
ery there are those who try to com
mercialize it; so with vitamins, the
yeast manufacturers and the patent
medicine profiteers huve created a
demand for these so-culled concen
trated vitamins.
The well informed physician can
prescribe foods that have greater vi
tamin content that are cheaper than
yeast or that which is put up in bot
tles. Besides, these germs that are in
yeast, unless killed by cooking, may
be harmful to the stomach and intes
tines.
There is an old French proverb
to the effect that “the doctor who
prescribes for himself has a fool for
a doctor and a fool for a patient.”
The individual who prescribes yeast
or patent medicine vitamins for him
self on the advice of those who make
outrageous profits in selling them, is
a bigger fool than the doctor who
prescribes medicines for himself, be
cause the doctor does know some
thing of the nature of his disease,and
he also has some knowledge of the ef
fects of the medicine which he takes.

two books that have been written for
To be Especially Good
This Year.
A visit to Mammoth Cave—
The sights of Cincinnati nnd
Chicngo—
A trip across the river to Canada,
where Mi-. Volstead is unknown,—
Ten days of sight-seeing and pleas
ure-seeking—
Thnt is the program that the
chnmpion fire-lighters of Cedartown
have mapped out for themselves.
Following the usual custom, our
City Council has appropriated $2,000
for the annual outing of our volun
teer Fire Department —an outing
thnt they earn many times over ev
ery year.
The boys will leave here at. 6.10 a.
m. July 9th on the Central Railway.
They will spend n few hours in Nash
ville en route, nnd a day will be spent
exploring the wonders of the world-
famous Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
Several hours will be spent in Cin
cinnati and two or three dnys in
Chicago. They will then go to their
final destination at Tort Huron,Mich.,
where those who desire, to do so can
cross over into Canadn.
Three of the firemen—'Chief C. T.
Bobo, Messrs S. R. Mendel and C. I.
Scarbrough— will leave the party in
Chicago, and take an extra trip to
Niagara Falls nnd New York.
The outing will be one of the best
In the history of the Department,nnd
the fire boys invite any of their
friends to accompany them. The
rate will bo $46, plus Pullman fare
A Fine Troupe.
The “Versatile Four,” with Mrs. W
H. Trawiek us accompanist, pave a
most enjoyablo entertainment Wed
nesday evening at the palace, which
was appreciated by a large audience.
Their stage setting is that of four col
lege girls discussing their plana for
the future, und in this way they bring
out a bright program of mirth and
melody. Miss Paula Peacock ns so
loist, Miss Annie Neely with songs
nnd her’inimitable whistling, Miss
Alma King with the saxophone, and
Miss Albert Milsman with readings,
all carried their parts well. The pro
gram is one which they have devised j
themselves, und is the equal of most
of the Lyceum attractions which visit
this section.
The ladioa presented their enter
tainment Tuesday evening to a good
house in Rockmart, and will probab
ly also-arrange a tour of other places.
They would be well worthy of a place
in any Lyceum circuit.
popular rending is all that is necess
ary for ar.y person to know the a-
mounts and the varieties of food that
increase efficiency and promote long
evity.
The home demonstration agents
are also doing much to spread the
gospel of rational eating. The health
authorities should also aid in teach
ing the public that a properly nour
ished body is the best insurance n-
gainst diseases of all kinds.
The average length of human life
has increased in the last 25 years;
but it has been due to the prevention
of diphtheria and other infectious
diseases of childhood, and typhoid
fever, malaria, yellow fever, malaria,
yellow fever and other germ diseaMp.
The application of the known fatts
regarding the purification of the milk
and water supplies of cities and the
general use of the knowledge that
orange or tomato juice is necessary
for the perfect nutrition of infants
has reduced the mortality among chil
dren by about 25 per cent.
The public should al&o know that
during the last quarter of a century
the death rate after 50 has increased
In my opinion the increased con
sumption per capita of meat and su
gar accounts partly for the greater
number of people who are sick and
die of diseases of the arteries, heart
and kidneys. When our health au
thorities and the public learn that a
life saved from the chronic degen
erative diseases is as valuable as one
saved from typhoid fever and that it
also helps to lower the death rate,
then the health and longevity of our
people will be gre.atly improved.
The greatest health problem of to
day is in teaching the public the
known facta regarding diet and nu
trition. When parents learn that a
cow and a garden for every family
are as essential to good health as is a
comfortable house in which to live,
they have gone a long ways towards
the successful roaring of their chil
dren.

CANDY FACTORY
Cedartown has a new industry —
a small one at the start, but one that
is going to earn success.
Mr. and Mrs. J E. West, of Bloom
ing Grove district, have for some
time been making and putting on the
market an excellent home-made can
dy. Their use of only the best ma
terials and careful workmanship,have
built up for them an enviable repu
tation with an increased demand, and
they have accordingly moved to Ce
dartown to be more conveniently lo
cated.
The new plant is located in the
Haile Building on North Muin street,
and will serve both Cedartown and
surrounding territory.
