ATLANTA MOVIES ARE
OPEN ON SUNDAY NOW
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 8. —Despite the
pending fight in the courts to stop the
practice, several leading Atlanta mo
tion picture houses were open again
yesterday .giving benefit performances
for Belgian relief, King’s Daughters,
and other charitable and even semi
religious and charitable purposes.
While the Sunday motion picture
benefit idea has been carried out gen
erally in Atlanta for several months, |
and so extensively that on some Sun
days practically all the downtown
theatres are open, the opponents of
the idea took no definite action until
last week when leaders of the opposi
tion announced that if the picture
managers didn’t stop the practice they
would invoke the law.
It remains to be seen today whether
the movie men will be prosecuted, and
which side will win. Indictments have
already been taken out against two or
three of the leading representative
picture house managers.
RUMORS SAY THAT
WHISKEY IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA, Feb. 8. —For the first
time in the history of Atlanta rumors
are becoming currgfitthat a number of
near beer saloons have begun to sell
whiskey across the bar. Two police
raids have already been made, and in
verification of the suspicion quantities
of whiskey were found in the two sa
loons.
This is something new, however, in
Atlanta. The near beer saloons have
been selling real beer all the time,
with the tacit knowledge and consent
of the authorities, but it has been un
derstood between the barkeepers and
the police that the beer saloons would
be kept absolutely clear of alcoholic
beverages of a stronger nature. The
fact that some of them have recently
started to sell whiskey has been a gen
eral surprise and is going to be squel
ched mighty quick.

O«E£H DISEISE IS
DEATH ED FAMILY
DALTON, Ga., Feb. 8. When the
Beckley family moved out of the high
.hills a month aga, there were nine of
them. Now there are five and three
of those are dying. So far the 3-months
cld baby is Immune.
Two physicians are working upon
the case—without affivail. For want of
a name they have called the Beckley
acliction puenmonia. They were at
tacked just a few days ago and within
six days’ time four of the family de
parted this life—four wooden caskets
brought to the cottage door.
The Beckleys came about Christmas
time out of Allaculsa valley and settled
at Eton, near Dalton, that the children
might attend school. Mary, the oldest
daughter, already remarkable for her
brightness—a veritable diamond in
the rough—especially was ambitious
for schooling. She was one of the first
to go.
The mother. Bettie; another daugh
ter, Ruth, and the boy, Charlie, alsj
are dead. The survivors are Fred, the
father; Essie, Omie, Birch and the baby
—three of these are critically ill.
Up in the valley the Beckleys lived
In.an "open” house—a log hut with
crocks between the logs. The theory is
advanced in Eton that from long ex
posure to the open air the family be
came constituted like the Indian and
that the confinement of a clos<e house
was fatal to them. The case is mys
terious as well as pathetic.

Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: “I suffered tor
live years with womanly Doubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
1 tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo
man’s tonic, and 1 decided to try it. 1
had not taken but about six bottles until
i was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines 1 had
fried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and 1 told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.”
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial, we feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
won’t regret it. All druggists.

MBNLf FOB SCIENCE
IN AUSTRALIA IM
MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. B.
Prime Minister Hughes announced at
a luncheon given him recently by the
faculty of Melbourne University that
the Federal Government was prepar
ted to spend up to $2,500,000 if neces
sary on the establishment of an insti
tution for scientific research in rela
tion to indjistry. Mr. Hughes said that
it had been shown what potential
wealth there was in Australia, but the
Australian people were practically in
thought with a national laboratory
their swadding clothes —economically
they were in their school days. He
Australians could utilize science in
opening a new avenue of industrial ef
fort. They could increase the produc
tivity of the country from 15 to 20 per
cent
“The Commonwealth Government,”
he went on, “will endeavor to coord
inate the universities in the various 1
states in this direction. We are not
committed to details. As far as possi
ble we will avail ourselves of tlw abil
ity and services of the scientific men
in our own industries, but if necessary
to strengthen the staff it can be rein
forced from outside. I will make in
quiries during my visit abroad, but in
any case the Government without de
lay will take the necessary steps to
give the institution a start.”
Mr. Hughes suggested that the Mel
bourne professors invite representa
tives of the universities in the other
states to meet in Melbourne at an early
date to consider the whole question.
"The Government,’’ he declared, “will
give $2,500,000 if necessary. I say that
deliberately. It is the best investment
Australia could make.”
Figures About
Workmen For
Germany Now
BERLIN, Feb. B.—According to the
records of the sick insurance office of
Berlin it appears that the withdrawals
of workmen from employment in
shops and factories for war duty last
year were far less numerous than had
been generally believed. Especially
v.as the reduction slight in the young
est an dteh oldest classes of men sub
ject to military duty. Thus workmen
between 17 and 20 years old represent
ed on January 1, 1915, 15.2 per cent of
all the names on the lists, but by Oc
toberl they had been reducel only to
14.6 per cent. The reduction for the
class between 41 and 45 years was from
8.8 to 7.5 per cent. Even for all class
es subject to military duty the average
reduction for the nine months was only
about 3 per cent. It is a remarkable
fact that, even now the class of young
men between 21 and 25 is larger than
any other one in the shops and fac
'tories of Berlin, constituting 15.5 per
cent of all the names listed.
HEW PDSTJGf SUMP
IS IBOUT SOME OUT
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. B.—Postmaster
Belling Jones and employees of the
postal service have been notified that
the department is about to issue
stamped envelopes bearing an emboss
ed postage stamp of new design, de
scribed as follows:
The new stamp is printed in red ink
and is in the form of a circle one and
one-sixteenth inches in diameter. In
the center is embossed the head of
Washington in profile, looking to the
left. The sides and upper portion oi>
the border carry the words “United
States Postage” in white capital let
ters, and within the border beneath the
head is the word “cents” with the nu
meral “2” on each side inclosed in a
small white circle.
For awhile the department cannot
fill all requisitions with the new en
velopes. The old embossing dies will
be displaced with dies of new design
gradually and until a of the stamping
machines are equipped with the new
dies, return card envelopes bearing
either the old or new stamp will be
furnished in response to the requisi
tions of postmasters. Unprinted en
velopes bearing the old stamp will be
issued until the stock on hand Is ex
hausted.
Cotton Goods
Cause Factories
Close Down
BERLIN, Feb. 8. —Owing to govern
mental restrictions in the manufacture
of cotton goods ,a large number of fac
tories in Austria-Hungary have closed
down. Only those establishments con- I
tinue running which are making ma-!
terials for the army, and owing to the 1
shortage of raw cotton even their out- ’
put is limited. Hitherto the manufac-1
tures have been assisting tbe unem- !
f
ployed but the general situation has
now become so serious that the gov- 1
ernments in Vienna and Budapest have
been forced to come to the rescue of
the workers. Both have agreed to
grant subventions, under the supervis
ion of a joint commission c< mposed of
representatives of the manufacturers
Vin dworkers, and officials from the
ministries of the Interior, Finance and
Commerce.
Cottolene makes foods taste better—it blends quickly
with the flour, it enhances the flavor. When you make
biscuits or pie crust, give the good flour you use the
advantage of being shortened with Cottolene. When
you fry potatoes, chicken, or anything else, fry them
in Cottolene so that the real flavor will be enjoyed.
Use Cottolene for all your shortening, frying and cake-making.
Your grocer will supply you regularly. Pails of various sizes.
