Much Interest Displayed in Reception
To Be Given This Evening, Which Will
Mark Opening of Fine Art Exhibition
Much interest attaches to the re
ception at tho library tonight, tendeiej
by the University club to its friends,
to afford them a private view of the
meritorious collection of paintings
brought to Athens under Its auspices.
The pictures are loaned b> the Amer
ican Federation of Fine Arts, an or
ganization which owes it* being to an
earnest desire on the part of its pro
moters to further the knowledge of
Art among the people of the United
Staten. The University club is a mem
ber of this federation and is thus en
abled to secure for the people of Ath
ens one of these valuable exhibitions.
Backed by the generosity of about
thirty well known pubJic spirited bus
iness men and citizens of Athens, the
dub has been insured against finan
cial loss in bringing the collection
here. It is also ably assisted by Miss
Lucy M. Stanton, a local artist of
more than local renown to whose
trained and careful judgment in hang
ing the pictures so that each shall be
seen in the light best silrted to it.
much of the pleasure of seeing them
will be due.
Owing to the work of the American
Federation of Fine Arts, the people of
this country can no longer be re
proached with the profound ignorance
of pictures and paintings as was th
case in former years. Although bu*
aix or seven years old, the federati
now has twenty-two collections of
paintings by the best American art
ists traveling from state to state and
city to city, bringing good art to the
ken of people remote from the large
art centers. It is interesting to note
that the first one, and the only one
jn its possession at the time of its
organization was asked for by the
city of Fort Worth, Texas, anil that
much encouragement has been given
the efforts of the federation every
where in the South^
Those who saw the collection
brought to Athens last .war, are
aware of the great treat in. store for
them now, while those who failed to
see the other have learned what they
missed and will not allow themselves
to lose so good an opportunity again.
In fact it is the opinion of those who
have seen both collections and are
therefore in a position to compare
them, that in many respects this is
the more interesting of the two. The
pictures, both landscapes and por
traits, afford a more favorable op-
* portunity to contrast the different
methods used by the various painters
of today to interpret and explain the
properties and qualities of light, a
study which has engaged the atten
tion of eveiy serious artist since the
days of the, so-called, plein air, or irfi-
preaeioniat Frenchmen, Monet and
•Manet.
This influence is particularly appar
ent in two of the pictures in this ex
hibition, No. 9, the Red Maple, by
Noyes, and No. 13, Cobb’s Creek, by
Daniel Garber. In both these paint
ings the analysis of light is almoct
prismatic, and the clearness and sim
plicity of the result is felt by the mo6t
unobservant. Another means of ob
taining what the critics call “atmos
phere,” is seen in No. 32, Slimmer, by
Leslie P. Thompson. This picture is
an interesting study, though as a pic
ture, it will probably fail to please
those of us who arc more familiar
with the older and smoother brush-
work of artists like Herman Dudley
Murphy, who is represented by his
Turquoise Sea No. 2b. In Summer,
the whole effect is obtained by a kind
of enlarged stipple work, the spots of
paint of pure tint being laid on thick
ly, side by side, the blending into bar
mony being done by the eye of the
beholder when the picture is seen from
the proper distance.
To some extent, though more skill
fully, this has been done by William
Dean Hamilton in his picture called,
November Morning, (No. 14), the
highest priced painting in this col
lection, being marked for sale at
$1,000. It is a beautiful picture, and,
with its lake ando distant hills seen
through the purple haze of November,
is full of that atmosphere it is the
aim of every artist to create.
A gem of the collection is No. 10,
The Golden Willow, bv Arthur Wes
ley Dow, one of the most distinguished
of our American artists, and now at
the head of the art department of
Teacher’s College, Columbia Univer
sity. Dow is a master of the art of-
composition. He is unexcelled in his
arrangement of the component parts
of a picture. In this piece the quiet,
coo! shadows of the foreground con
trasted with thd dash of light
color where the sunlight falls on the
hilltop with its lone tree, give that
restful sense of proportion which
makes every work of art, wh^her pic
ture or statue or building,^ satis
faction and a joy. Dow’s home at
Ipswich is so charmingly decorated
with pictures in this restful manner
and so thoroughly expresses his indi
viduality, that it is a revelation of
the possibilities of art to those who
arc privileged to visit it.
The work of Jonas Lie, a New York
artist of great reputation, is shown in
No. 24, a snow scene called Lengthen
ing Shadows. In striking contract to
William Dean Hamilton’s November
Morning. Lie has, nevertheless, pro
duced the, same soft, atmospheric ef
fect in his bold and dashing manner,
massing his colors to give the shad
owy effects of the snow at twilight.
A pleasing number in the collection
is The Baby, by Henry Salem Hub-
bell. It Is perhaps one of his earlier
works, as there is an absence of the
strength of feeling shown in the work
he is doing now, but it is painted with
a full appreciation of the delicate
charm of childhood which carries its
message to the heart.
Interesting studies are No. 25. The
Old Barn, by Philip Little, and No. 21,
Vermont Stream, by William J. Kau-
la; both pictures, though differing in
dividually, are done in that restless,
confused ityle which marks the tran
sition from earlier methods such as
those of tho Hudson River School, with
CATARRH OF THE THROAT
< Is Liable to Produce Catarrhal Deafness
CU&IENCE BOWMAN.
A Cato of Catarrhal Ooafnoaa.
Mrs. Wm. Bowman, R. F. IX J« Coon
Rapids, Iowa, whites:
**6$me time ago I wrote you about
my little boy, Clarence, five years of
a**.- He was troubled with his ears.
They were very sensitive to the touch,
and he was quite deaf at times,
soomed to be worse after catching
cold. I had taken him to doctors, but
thfcy did not seem to be able to relievo
him, and I was very much afraid he
would lose his hearing entirely,
was getting more deaf every day.
, *!l wrote to you for advice, and you
prescribed Peruna. I began giving It
to hlsn, and can now say that hs is
, entirely cured. He is now well and
hearty and can hear perfectly.**
Catarrh Causes Many Diseases.
Many diseases are causedA>y taking
jol* A cold la very likely to aettle
In the noae, causing nasal catarrh.
It/nhy aettle In the upper part of the
throat, called the nasal pharyngeal

tubes called euatachlan tubes, that

If the catarrh settlaa In the pharyn
geal apace It may fellow the mucous
membrane through the euatachlan
tubes into the middle ear. If it does

later on be sure to cause deafness.
Catarrh of the throat may fellow,
the euatachlan tubes up Into the mid
dle eaf without causing much concern
pa the part of the patient The par
tial loss of hearing Is apt to be over
looked. A person may lose half his
hearing before he knows it.
For instance, suppose a man can
hear his watch four feet from the ear.
It he loses his hearing to the extent
that he can only hear the tick of his
watch two feet from the ear he may
not suspect it at all. His hearing In
good enough for ordinary purposes.
He goes on without the slightest sus
picion that he Is losing his hearing.
He may have ringing in the ear. or
cracking and snapping sounds in the
ear, or a feeling of pressure In the
ear, but he Is not aware that he Is
loAr.g his hearing.
Testing the Hearing.
It is a good thing to test your hear
ing with a watch. First hold the
watch against your ear, then move It
grad ially away from the ear and see
how far away from the watch you
can actually hear It tick. Try It on
the other aide and see If both ears
are alike. If you find that you are
unablo to hear the watch on both sides
alike iiiM at a distance of four feet
from the ear, you may know that
deafness has already begun. You
should begin taking Peruna at once.
Gargle the throat with cold, strong
salt water, as directed In the “Ills of
Life,** sent free by Peruna Co., Co
lumbus, Ohio. Persist In this treat
ment until a cure Is effected.
The Best Way to Gargle.
Sometimes catarrh of the nasal
pharyngeal space will cause an ac
cumulation of secretions in the throat,
that completely fill the space. Unless
these secretions are promptly re
moved by frequent gargling polypi
may be formed. Once formed the
polypi or adenoids, as they are some
times called, will require a long time
with the gargling to remove. Gar-
gllng^RCCordlng to the proper method
will sometimes remove polypi or ade
noids. and no surgical operation la
required.
In erdtr to understand exactly what
Is meant by proper gargling send for
a free copy of the “His of Lifer
During the whel^course of gargling
Peruna must be Taken according to
their careful, photographic reproduc
tion of nature, to the folder bru.«hwork
in which the same ideas arc expressed
today.
It is of course impossible within a
limited space to discuss the merits of
all of the thirty-eight pictures in this
attractive exhibition, or even to men
tion many of them. Notable among
those which must be seen to he under
stood are the canvas by the marine
painter, Waugh, The Ocean in
.Storm; F. A. Bas*ey\s Dreamer,
strange composition a mixture of new
and old with its pallid treatment of
the main figure and its background
done after the manner of the old mas
ters; Schofield’s Berkshire Hills
poem of tender tones in Japanesque
arrangement, and the very excellent
portraits by Alice Kent Stoddard and
Catherine Critcher.
Special mention must be made of
the two pictures loaned by the Chica
go Art Institute from its permanent
collection, the lovely portrait of a
little girl. Apple Blossoms, by Louis
Betts, one of the best portrait paint
ers in America today, and Haw
thorne’s Little Sylvia. Hawthorne’s
work has been purchased for the Me
tropolitan Miifeum in New York, as
! other well-known public and
private collections, and he is consid
ered one of the leading American
artists. This picture of a little girl
n blue, is painted on a cedar block in
stead of on canvas, and has, therefore,
he finness of finish of an ivory min
iature.
Taken as a whole, the little collec
tion is of uniform excellence. Almost
without exception the pictures are
good art, and in proportion to the size
of the exhibition, the number of real
ly good ones is far in excess of those
*hat were shown this year in the Na
tional Academy in New York.
The exhibition will continue weeks.
It will be open every day from 10 a.
m. to 2 p. m. and from 3 to 6 p. m.
Also,' as is now the custom in all art
galleries, it will be open every Sunday
afternoon from 3 to 6. Special even
ing exhibitions will be arranged from
time to time which will be announced
later.
Tickets, 50 cents, are on sale at
Costa’s and the Woman’s Exchange.

THUS 01 AGRICULTURE
AT RELIGIOUS MEETINGS
ADVOCATED RV MINISTERS
There seems to be a wide spread
movement in south Georgia, especial
ly in the district about Amencus,
where the movement was started, to
have men from the Agricultural Col
lege addrsss the people at religious
gatherings, on subjects of interest per
taining to agriculture. This movement
was started by Dr/ Roberts, of the
Methodist church of Americus and
spread rapidly.
The idea is that some man from the
Agricultural College here is to lecture
to the people at religious gatherings,
when they will all be together and in
this way this important subject can be
readily impressed on the minds of the
people. The Agricultural College en
tered into the movement, with that
spirit which it has so often shown on
similar occasions. The college will
accept no pay for its work but the
community will pay the expenses of
the apeaker.
A1I the details in regard to the mat
ter are working out nicely and i;
seems that much good will be derived
from this co-operation, of school and
church. x j
