known as the "Atlanta Inter racial
Committee,” the more consplluoua
members of which are Dr. C. n. WII-
mer. Dr. M. Ashby Jones, John J.
Egan and Marion M. Jackson, In fact,
it was this committee, acting through
Merlon Jackson, which had printed
and caused to be circulated the pam
phlet tn question, and friends of Gov

Hon that he waa over-persuaded by
members of the committee, to permit
the use of material from bla flies In
tho executive office*, which are known
to bo heavily tilled with complaints
from sll parts ot the state of treat
ment of negroes, for the preparation
of the pamphlet which went out un
der his name, or at least as “A State
ment from Gov. Hugh M. Dorsey.” It
Is known, too, that the copy tor the
pamphlet was prepared by Marion
Jackgon.

Noroton heights. Conn.—“I nth a
carpenter, and get', all run down and
contracted a chronic cough, so I could
hardly keep about my work. II seem
ed as though I had tried all klnda of
medicines Without help, but obe day
I saw Vinol advertised and decided
to try It. Before I had taken half a
bottle I felt better and after taking
six bottles I found I had regained my
normal weight and never felt better
in my life."—R. J. Moore, Noroton
Heights, Conn.
The reason Vinol Is so successful In
such esses Is because Jt contains the
curative element of cod liver oil tn a
highly concentrated form together
with Iron and Beef Peptonea which
for centuries have been without a peer
for such conditions. Price $1.00 a
bottle, guaranteed. H. R. Palmer 4
