La (irippp Leaves Its Victims Pros
trate.
Some victims of lagrippe never fully
recover the health of the lungs, and
persistent coughing is weakening. The
pjiek action of Foley’s Honey and
Tar makes it valuable in severe la
grippe coughs. F. G. Prevo, Bedford,
Ind.. writes: "La grippe left me with
'•re cough that Foley’s Honey and
Tar cured, and I am back to my nor-
nn! weight.”

Service Pays
In the Long Run
The merchandising pendulum is swinging
back-
There is less emphasis on the bargain sale
than ever before.
Storekeepers are beginning to feel that it
pays to build business by good service rather
than by hurrahs.
You notice the note already in much of The
Herald’s advertising.
It means progress and evolution, a business
building on solid, substantial foundations.
It means brighter, cherrier and ever better
written, more informative advertising.
That means more interesting advertising.
Watch it. Study the advertising in The
Herald. You will find it well worth while.
THE ATHENS HERALD
The Herald guarantees advertisers double
the circulation in Athens of any other news
paper.

IT MANNER OF MAO
IS THIS PROF, LAMAR?
Proftssor Marcus LaMar, the won
derful occulist who has been in Ath
ens for the past several weeks, is a
most remarkable man. He has a pleas
ing personality, his open and frank
manner inviting confidence immedi
ately. Professor LaMar possesses a
wonderful fund of information, hav
ing traveled extensively in all parts
of the world, and speaks a number of
languages fluently. He is a most in
teresting talker and a reporter of The
Herald spent several hours listening
to his interesting recital of people
and places he has come in contact
with during his wanderings about the
world.
Professor’LaMar claims to have
been born with the talent he possesses
along psychic lines. He is no ordi
nary medium. No matter how skep
tical you may be, Professor LaMar
can tell you things about yourself
that will surprise you, if you will
only consult him honestly. He told
The Herald man things concerning
himself which he is positive no one in
Athens knew but himself. The re
porter is not “strong” for such things,

Atlanta, Ga., February 14.—The
Georgia Chamber ot Commerce is still

plished by the midwinter meeting

Macon January 29, 30. Reports of
the splendid progrifcs made by the
State Chamber in its upbuilding work
for Georgia continually come into
headquarters, and in addition to the
news articles and reports of the mid
winter meeting carried by the daily
and weekly press of Georgia, such na
tionally known publications as the
Manufacturers Record carried tivo or
more columns concerning this great
get-together meeting of Georgians.
President Charles J. linden said to

forward movement: “May I express
my thanks to Governor John M. Sla
ton, Dr. Bradford Knapp, Dr. A. M.

Worsham, Dr. L. G. Hardeman, Mr.
B. L. Bond and others who delivered
addresses at the midwinter meeting
of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce
at Macon January 29 and 30. All
these gentlemen donated their ser
vices and traveling expense! to the
public welfare.
“We wish to thank the generous
press of Georgia, and especially the
Macon dailies, ot behalf of ourselves
and the people of Georgia, for their
inspiring efforts to forward the move
ment for the upbuilding of Georgia, to
which this organization is pledged.
We are indebted to the broad, pa
triotic spirit of the people of Georgia
who were able to accomplish so much
tangible work on so small an income.
Our total expenses up to the present
time barely exceeds $3,000, including
an intense campaign in the twenty-
three counties of southwest Georgia
endangered by the boll weevil in 1914
(in which campaign we have employed
a number of canvassers, billposted ev
ery billboard in the twenty-three
counties, sent out through the mails
forty-six thousand (46,000) docu
ments) including also our celebrated
Georgia Products Day propaganda
and attendant expenses, and all *
expenses.
“No officer or member of the execu-
tive committee of the Georgia Cham
ber of Commerce received a salary
and its books and vouchers are ope*
to the public for inspection/*

Looking for a Handy Man?
Ask for Uncle Sam
Y^/TIEN your Uncle Sam took oft
* * his long-tailed coat at Panama
and got to work he not only managed
the main event but ran all the side
shows, too.
Do you realize that besides digging
the canal, Uncle Sam had to feed and
house 50,000 men, many of them with
their wives and children?
Do you know how he watched out
for their health by day, and their fun
by night?
How he founded hospitals, gave
dances, organized clubs, built churches,
furnished preachers?
How, in order to get the men to their work, he owned and ran
a railroad?
How, in order to accommodate visitors, he became a hotel
proprietor ?
School teacher, health officer, barber, butcher, baseball magnate,
and ice cream manufacturer, all in one—that’s your Uncle Sam.
