AMERICUS BLACKSMITHING COMP’Y
‘■PEOPLE HO WORK MOST PLAY” DECLARES EDISON :
WIZARD SAYS WE IRDST THINK FIRST FOR POOR
j (Mary Boyle O Reilley in New Orleans
States.)
. . ... *
I hav e just come from a visit wita ;
Thomas A. Edison —a visit to the great- .
est worker in all America. I asked j
him what he thought of the labor pro-.
Idem.
The most famous man alive did not
answer my question. He looked at j
me a moment and then laid his hand
on my shoulder.
“Tell me,” he said, ‘ how did you ]
as 'Mamie Rilev’ spend the three cents
an hour you earned last fall while in
vestigating the New York canneries?”
“When 'Mamie Riley’ made ttairty
i six cents a day,” I answered, “foo 1
’ cost fifteen cents, bed fifteen cents, a
! penny went for the daily paper and
'the last nickel was spent at the mov
ies.”
j “Good,” commented this wondrous
i inventor, one narvous hand curved in
to a sounding board behind the “better
ear.”
j “That nickel was not wasted. Pleas
ure is as necessary as food. Never
more so than now. Today the average
man does not depend on health—ne
works on his nerves.
“Our labor problem now is not a
problem of increasing the efficiency of,
jor even exclusively considering with
I satisfaction the work of the world.
: Instead it is a problem of increasing
! the efficiency and the quality of play in
the world.”
An alert secretary, laden with pa
■ pers, stood at attention. But Mr. Edi
; sen, absorbed in the matter in hand,
I neither saw nor heard.
“Now, recreation is re-creation,
j “I have come to think a good deal
| about that. From the day a man or
J woman gets his or her first job, life
is often one long worry. Take the
! question of lodging—high rents and
; overcrowding in a ramshackle tene
-1 ments —the living conditions that un
dermine health and lower earning ca
pacity. Those are all parts of one
i problem—a problem that must be
I solved. Some day it will be.
| "How?”
| “By cheaper construction. But I
I! cannot discuss that now.

TECH BEGINS CUSSES
NEXT MONDAY MORNING
New Attendance Record Will
Be Set

Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 18. —(Special.)—
At 9 o'clock Wednesday morning the
bocks of the Georgia School of Tech
nology were thrown open for formal
'registration and -- Monday, Septem
-22. classes marked the beginning of
the collegiate year 1913-14 will be
gin.
The second week of entrance an 1
condition examinations is on. They
will come to a close on Saturday.
While this is really the first day for
matriculation, numbers of students
have registered in advance and from
present indications, the attendance re
| cord of last year will be broken. As
compared with the same day last year
there are seventy-five more students
on the books to date, and applicant-'
continue to pour in.
The faculty has been increased for
this term and its strength Is said to
be the greatest from an educational
standpoint in the history of the col
lege. Dr. K. G. Matheson, the presi
dent is enthusiastic over the brigh;
prospects and predicts a record break
ing year. In speaking of the open
ing Wednesday, he said:
' From the present indications Tec i
; will enjoy this year the most success
| ful term in its history. The faculty
i that has i eon secured is most complete
in every detail of study and a nurabe.’
cf the students register d to late repre
sent the finest type of American man
hood I confidently expect to see all
: attendance records broken.”

A GRATEFUL WOMAN
I want t tell you how much good
your Sw ar- p-Rcot did me. About four
years ago. I suffered from what the
doctors called fistula and for two years
of that time I endured what no tongue
can tell. I also had inflammation of
I
the bladder ana tried doctors’ medi
cines without receiving any help.
Someone told me about Dr. Kilmer’*
Swamp Root.
After giving it a thorough trial, I re
ceived relief, so kept on using it and
today I am a strong and well woman,
li I ever feel badly or out of sorts, J
take Swamp-Root and it alwava
straightens me Qut. I honestly be
i eve this medicine would cure a'.i
'roubles you recommend it for and it
:s a pleasure for me to send my testi
mony and photograph to you. I
think Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is one
of the greatest medicines on earth.
