A SYMBOL GF HEALTH.
The Pythogorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance
and purity. As a badge they used the
five pointed star which they regarded
as a symbol of health. A red 5 pointed
star appears on each package of
Chamberlain’s Tablets, and still fulfils
its ancient mission as a symbol of
health. If you are troubled with in
digestion, biliousness or constipation,
get a package of these tablets from
your druggist. You will be surprised
at the quick relief which they afford.
Obtainable everywhere.

ATLANTA GRAND OPERA
WAS -GREAT SUCCESS
Atlanta, Ga., May I.—The 1916 sea
son of grand opera in Atlanta which
came to a close Saturday night, was
surpassed from a financial standpoint
only by the season of 1914. This
means that the total receipts for the
week were between $91,000 and $95.-
000, as the receipts were $95,000 in
1914 and $91,000 in 1913. :
In order to secure a week's engage
ment this year by the Metropolitian
Opera Company, Atlanta had to sub
scribe a guarantee of $70,000 which
was $lO,OOO more than the guarantee
subscribed in 1914, 1913, 1912, 1911 and
1910.
Before leaving Atlanta vesterday, F.
(. Coppicus, general secretary of the
Metropolitian, made the statement that
the company will continue to play a
week's engagement in Atlanta as long
as the city wants it.
Grand opera this year was attended
by a larger number of visitors from‘
Georgia and neighboring states than
ever before. People came all the way
from Dallas and New Orleans on the
west and as far east as Philadelphia.

NEW MOTION PICTURES
; REPLACING THE OLD
Public Bemand for Better Productions
Met by American Enterprise
and Brains.
The rapid growth of the business
of producing motion pictures has
brought forward new hopes of picture
makers to succeed the older companies
and because of the superiority they
}have risen to high plans almost with
in a few months. A notable instance
!is the Metro 'Pictures Corporation
‘whose progress in 12 months has
‘placed it at the very top as a producer
of great photo dramas.
The Metro group includes four great
producing companies, namely, Colum
bia, Rolfe Photo Plays Inc., Popular
Plans and Players and the Quality
Pictures Corporation. The Metro dis
tributes the entire picture products
of these companies, and their star
list includes such notable players as
Francis X. Bushman, Mme. Petrova,
Beverley Bayne, Ethel Barrymore, Mr.
and Mrs. Sidney Drew, Harold Lock
wood, May Allison, Marguerite Snow,
Smiily Stevens, Viola Dana, Mary Miles
Minter, Edmund Breese, Hamilion Re
velle, Mabel Taliaferro and other dis
tinguished artists. President Richard
A. Rowland the leader of the Metro
group anticipated the demand for new
er, bigger, better productions and as
a result Metro wonder plays have
achieved great popularity among the
better class of motion picture patrons.
It is Metero’s policy never to send out
a picture that does not pass four tests.
These reguirements are good, pow
erful and entertaining stories, real ac
tion and direction, fine photography,
and satisfactory acting from the star
to the humblest players.
Metro produces the larger pictures
known as features and in addition re-'l
leases the now famous Metro-Drew
comedies. The Metro studios of which
there are six, are located in New York,
in Los Angeles, and in Jacksonville,
Fla. A weekly publication, The Pic
ture Magazine, is devoted entirely to
stories about Metro and players and
its circulation has grown to a million
a week. ; |
Metro’s success in the art of pic
tures is an example of American En
terprise. Just a year old, its pictures
are shown in all countries of the world
and its progress is a tribute to Ameri
can brains, artistry and energy.

Don’t Go to Sleep
DON'T go to sleep feeling secure
in the fact that your teeth are
absolutely sound, until you have
come here for a careful examination.
There are a great many cases where
even a dentist cannot tell whether
| the teeth need filling until after he
has removed the tartar secretion.
| It is then—and only then, that the
| tiny holes, invisible on account of
| the tartar, are brought to view.
' Feor this reason you should come to us
regularly—at least twice a year for
‘ examination. It will pay you.

EDWARDS RETIRES
FROM CONGRESS
Washington, Arpil 20.—Representa
tive Charles G. Edward‘! of the first
district, in a formai siatement issued
tonight’announces that he will not be
a candidate for re-election to congress.
Instead he will retire after March 4
next to take up the practice of the
law. :
This announcement will probably
create as much surprise in the district
as it did here. The few colleagues to
whom he communicated his intention
were amazed at his decision. No op
ponent has yet announced against Mr.
Edwards. It is five months until the
primary, so he gives all prospective
candidates a fair field. -
| Representative Edwards has served
five terms, or ten years, in congress.
‘He is a member of the important riv
ers and harbors committee, whose
work is of surprisimg importance to
the district he represents, and he had
good prospects of becoming chairman
within a few years. But he believes
it is his duty to his family, much as
he loves congressional life, to retire
and devote himself to the law and
acquire a competence. He was a suc
cessful lawyer before his election to
the house and returns to thespractice
with the enlarged vision and increased
prestige which a congressional career
has_ given him.
Recent political issues have brought
Mr. Edwards very close to the presi
dent and he expresses the hope his
successor will be pledged to the sup
port of President Wilson, if he is re
elected.

The College for Your Daughter
: SIX REASONS WHY.
1. Itis a good college, housed in a beautiful, new, clean,
comfortable, modern building.
2. It is your own college—the only State institution of
higher learning in the southern half of the state—the
State’s/'newest college for young women.
3. It is a college where health and character are regarded
as first essentials, and where this idea is acted on constantly.
4. Tltis a college taught entirely by specially trained teach
ers, where scholarship combines culture and practical use
fulness. ; i
.5. It is a college where money cannot buy social or class
standing; where only character, honest endeavour and duty
done give precedence.
6. It is free. The student pays only for what she uses
personally—clothing, board, books, etc.; the State ’Fays sal
aries, etc.—the main cost of a college education. The Col
lege makes no money from its patrons, but saves them all
