Moreland, Ellen Hill and Eugene

friends here have observed her rise
to poitical prominence in the home
pf her adoption with more than
usual interest. This interest is also
being evidenced among many other
Georgians, Mrs. O’Day having grad
uated as the chaining Carolyn Grif
fin from Lucy Cobb, at Athens, in
the same class with the first Mrs.
Clark Howell, of Atlanta, being the
first honor graduate.
Mrs. O’Day who is the mother of
three children, a daughter, 19 and
two sons, 17 and 15 respectively,
went to New York first to study art,
and has spent several years in
Paris in study.

ganization work in company with!
Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt. She was
alternate at the San Francisco con
vention and is a member of the
committee of nine for the enter
tainment of visitors at this one. She
has been working enthusiastically
for Al Smith and will labor with
equal energy during the entire
campaign. She presented the
League of Women Voters planks to
Mrs. Roosevelt,s advisory committee
pn women’s platforms.

announcing the vote of the New
York delegation when the balloting
begins and in calling meetings of

• Prof. Charles B. McFerrin, the noted lecturerer, health authority and diet ||
lb snecialist will answer any question sent in after his celebrated lecture which a
Z ’. TnTitiea, “WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH EVERYBODY?” Hardly a J
X person of forty escapes having something the matter with him these days.
• L If your strength is failing, if you tire easily and do not sleep well, if you have £
• to force yourself to walk, if you are discouraged and you lack ambition, you q
a should at once realize the serious meaning of all these things. Such a condi-
tion will not correct itself, you will go from bad to worse. If you do not help
® your system by ceasing to combine your foods so they explode, causing internal
• bases which press on vital organs thus giving you poor circluation. J
The speaker will point out what foods wrongly combined cause constipa-
• tion and the same food otherwise combined give freedom from constipation.
® Prof. McFerrin shows just what foods are helpful in kidney trouble, in lung •
9 trouble and how malaria may be kept out of the system by eating a predomi- a
A nance of certain foods. a.
a He also will point out certain dangerous food combinations, which lead to •
a bronchitis, nervousness, catarrh, rheumatism, hay fever, acid stomach, etc. a,
a Also point out the reason some people are eternally coughing, having coughs a
• and colds all winter long. a
a Certain foods are like certain dogs, they either snarl at each other or wag a
a their tails—sometimes there is a fight. After combining foods with no intelli- a
£ gence, whatever, for forty years, a man begins to realize that there have been a
too many dog fights in his stomach and many times when he is of must use
to himself and the boss, he is asked to “hand over his job.” How tragic, J
W, when all he needed was a little knowledge!
£ Prof- McFerrin’s lectures are as humorous as they are instructive; you will a
surely enjoy the evening. It will be like going to the minstrel —yet you are
learning all the time you are laughing. a,
a Prof. McFerrin was himself once an invalid, but one would not think so J
to see him now. The bloom of health is in his cheek and he i> radiant with w,
® personal magnetism. -5 #
a He attributes his wonderful present condition to a thorough understand- J
a ing of food vitamines and the proper combinations of foods, and to submit- V,
ting to a frequent medical examination, so that he may be aware at any of
any impairment of internal organs and rectify the matter before it is too late. a*
