of the federated clubs, gave a most
exceptional talk on the growth of
the clubs’ membership inroughout
the state of Georgia and the phenom
enal record of membership witnin the
past year or two. sane spoke enthus
iastically ol me goon winch will come
of the worn of these earnest women
who are giving ot their time anu tal-1
ent to so worthy a cause. She em
braced all orancnes ot club work m
her address, and gave some sugges
tions troni the storehouse or her in
formation and observation gathered
from her extensive travels through
out the state, bhe is just from a
convention at Waycross, and spoke
ot the marvelous reports of work ac
complished by the ciub women of
Georgia.
■ . One thought brought out very
forcefully in her address was the
salutary ettect oi the screen upon the
morals of the workers in ractones
and mill towns, one case m partic
ular she told of was in a factory
town in Georgia where the demoral
ized conditions were especially de
plorable. oome club wtwnen w'ere
sent into this factory town to inves
tigate conditions and see what could
be done to better conditions, and the
moving picture was suggested as
the most potent factor for (uplift
among the workers.
. Result Soon Realized.
This idea was presented to the
owner of the m.lls, who immediately
concurred in it, and he, together
with a delegation of club women,
went to Atlanta for the purpose of
selecting suitable pictures to be
shown in the town. The result, in
short, was realized. For no sooner
had the pictures become a prime fac
tor in the amusement of the work
ers than a decided improvement was
noted. Now there are several mov
ing picture theaters in the town, and
religious, as well as educational and
entertaining pictures are thrown dai
ly on the screen, thereby giving the
employes elevating subjects to think
of. Mrs. Hayes concluded her ad
dress with the remark that she hop
ed to see the early dawning of the
May when every school and Sunday
school in the state of Georgia would
have its own apparatus for showing
pictures, and that this would become
an accredited part of the school
course in every educational institu
tion, and in the religious teachings
of the churches.
Mrs. Alonzo Richardson, state
chairman of civics, gave a most in
structive talk upon civics. Along this
line she mentioned that civics meant
not only a cleaning up of general
conditions, but that it helped to make
a good citizenship; that people who
studied and practiced civics were ex
emplary citizens in whatever en
vironment they were placed. She
presented her thoughts with a charm
of manner and a sweetness of tone
that was most attractive to her
hearers. It was just the “same as
listening to a conversation,” it was
said of her address. She is thor-
BRINGS JOI TO
SORE, Tffl FEET
Alborum, Used as Foot Bath Re
duces Inflammation, Relieves
Soreness, Dispels Odors and
Restores Feet to Healthy Con
, dition.
Painful, perspiring, swollen feet,
with corns, bunions and ingrowing
nails, are all caused by germs which
grow in the pores of the skin, caus
ing decay of the cuticle, rawness, ec
zema, inflammation and odor.
These germs are instantly destroy
ed by .Alborum, a cieasing, soothing,
deodorizing and healing antiseptic,
and astringent. It draws out the in
flammation and soreness, dispels the
odor and quickly restores health to
both skin and nails.
Ingrowing nails do not grow down
into the flesh as supposed, but the
flesh, being swollen, is pressed up over
the nail. Alborum takes out the
swelling and inflammation, destroys
the germs and the trouble disappears.
An Alborum foot bath is made by
simply dissolving a little Alborum in
warm whter. Get a package from
any druggist for 35c. Alborum has
many other daily uses as an antisep
tic in the home.-—(adv.)

oughly conversant with her subject
and has had a wide experience in her
field.
Tells of Tallulah School.
Among the last of the addresses
on the program last evening was the
talk made by Miss Nannie E'avis on
the “Tallu'ah Falls Industrial School
Work.” For the past five years Miss
Davis has been connected with tins
institution, giving of her time and
talent and energy to the betterment
of the people who are connected with
it. In this beautiful stretch of
country, she said, the people do not
know of the hardships and handicaps
which come from residence in a bar
ren country, almost utterly devoid
of- tillable soil. This school is sit
uated in the mountain districts of
north Georgia, and although a won
derful country from every stand
point, the advantages have not been
given in an educational line as the
other parts of the state have enjoy
ed. She told of the pathos of the
lives of these mountain people—peo
ple who have truly the making of a
magnificent citizenship if proper edu
cation is given—how few pleasures
they enjoy and of the difficulties in
the' way of securing an education.
She also told of the bright and
happy side of it, how the children >
walk for miles to attend the classes. 1
and how eager they are to absorb ;
every crumb of information given '
out by the faculty employed. She. ,
spoke of a recent appropriation giv- '
en by the governor of the state to
this institution, although propor
tionately small, yet what an advant
age it means to the school, in enabl
ing the purchase of looms and ma
chinery for weaving rugs. It is the
purpose of the school board to make
the children self-supporting through
their school course, and to obviate
that feeling of charity which they so
righteously rebel against. With the
placing of this machinery the pupils '
will be taught to make rugs for the
markets, which, when sold, will go
back into the school funds for other I
and better improvements. She held
her audience spell-bound throughout |
the course of her address, and her
earnestness appealed to the large
audience.

MRS SIMMONS TELLS
OF D. A. R. MEETING.
Mrs. Howel] Simmons has just re
turned from the convention of the
Daughters of the American Revolu- j
tion at Moultrie, and talks very in-,
terestingly of the programs given at
the gathering. She spoke in particu- .
lar of the peculiar honor which the |
Third congressional district has re
ceived in that three of the presidents,
of the prominent clubs are residents ;
of this district. Mrs. J. E. Hayes, of
Montezuma, is state president of the
Georgia Federation of Clubs; Mrs.
Frank Harrold, of Americus, heads j
the state as president of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, and
Mrs. Max Land, of Cordele, has just
received the distinction of being elect
ed state regent of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. Mrs. Sim
mons stated that the club women be
sieged her with interrogations con
cerning the recently purchased play
ground in Americus, and she explain
i ed the purpose for which this lovely
I property had been bought. She gave
I a concise description of the plans in
' hand by the club women of Ameri
i cus in connection with the playground
j movement, and felt complimented
that so many of the club women pres
ent resolved to organize a playground
in their home tow’ns, patterned after
the one in Americus.
The cordial reception of the D. A.
R. officers and delegates accorded by
the people of Moultrie was most re
freshing, Mrs. Simmons said, and the
i number of love’- social affairs given
for the visitors was noteworthy. She
I returned with a full report of the
I convention, and this will be read at
i the next meeting of the Council of
. Safety Chapter in May.
