Newspaper Page TextThe Secret of Youth Do you ever wonder how you can remain young, or why other women older than you, look younger than you do? The secret can be put in a few words: “Preserve your health, and you will preserve your youth.” By “health” we mean not alone physical health, but nerve health, as, sometimes, magnificently strong-looking women are nervous wrecks. But whether you are weak physically or nervously, you need a tonic, and the best tonic for you is Cardui. It builds strength for the physical and nervous systems. It helps put flesh on your bones and vitality into your nerves. CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic “My mother,” writes Mrs. Z. L. Adcock, ofr Smith ville, Term., “is 44 years old and is passing through the change of life. “She was irregular and bloated and suffered terribly. My father stepped over to the store and got her a bottle of Cardui, which she took according to directions and now she is up, able to do her housework and says she feels like a new_ woman.” Try Cardui in ycur own case.

BiSKi iff SOUNDS Soft and Faintest Sounds Are Carried Great Distances —New Discovery Will be Ap preciated by Grand Opera Audiences. Atlanta, Ga—A startling discovery and one that is certain to attract much comment throughout the entire country, has been made through ex periments in acoustics at the Atlanta auditorium-armory, where the Mero politan Opera company is to appear in grand opera during the first week in May. Through the new discovery, it will be possible for the softest, faintest sounds emanating from the stage to be heard in any part of the immense building, and the great singers will be able to make themselves clearly understood without any additional care in enunciation or added volume of voice. When the new stage, necessary to accommodate the great choruses ana scenic effects of the opera, was de signed, it was found necessary to ex tend the partitions at either corner of the stage proper on out to the side walls or the building, iu order to shut off that portion of the edifice that is left unused. After experimenting with several sorts of materials to be used iu these side walls, the great stage carpenter, Peter Clarke of New r York who erect ed the $250,000 stage of the Metropol itan opera house, and the immense Hippodrome stage, hit upon a plan for installing a double wall of tight ly stretched asbestos fabric, specially treated, and stretched to an incredi ble tension. These w'alls are supported by a framework of seasoned, light timbers, until the whole resembles the gigan tic sounding-board of a monster vio lin. The effect will be that the walls will vibrate to any sound produced upon the stage, making it possible to hear the sound of a pin dropped into a plate from the height of a few inches, the listener being stationed anywhere in the great building. This will greatly enhance the beauty of the grand operas. Caruso, the great tenor, who is coining to Atlanta with the other opera stars, has expressed intense interest iu the discovery, and has written to Mr. Clarke, congratulating him upon his ingenuity. Work upon the $50,000 organ is practically completed, and the great instrument will be used in conjunc tion with the grand opera. BOLL WEEVIL CIRCULAR. Farmers Are Warned to Report the Cotton Insect. Atlanta, Ga. —State Entomologist. E. L. Worsham, perhaps the best posted man on cotton diseases and insects in the south, is now engaged in prepar ing a circular whicU is to be distrib uted among the cotton growers of this state on the present status of the Tex as boll weevil and when this dread insect may be expected to appear in southwest Georgia. According to iLntomologist Worsham the boil weevil traveled eastward last year a distance of 125 miles. Tuis is the greatest distance yet recorded for any one year. At tnis rate it is ex pected the boll weevil will reach this state in three years more. The circular letter will tell the planters what to expect and how best to identify the dread insect in order that its presence may be reported, in stantly, and promt steps tanen to re tard its onward march wherever pos sible. So far nothing has been discovered which can effectually stop tne maren eastward, it appears to ue a case of watch and wait. TUBERCULOSIS DAY. Ministers Requested to Make Dread Disease Subject of Sermons. Atlanta, Ga. Tuberculosis day, which will be April 24th all over the United States promises to be of un usual interest in Georgia. Preachers here in. Atlanta and over the state, regardless of creed, will preach ser mon* appropriate to the occasion. A number of prominent Atlanta men are urging the importance ox observing the day. Dr. George Brown, a well known tuberculosis expert, has ad dressed personal letters to the minis ters and leading business men and others throughout the state in the interest of the day. MUCH DIVERSIFIED FARMING. Georgia Farmers are Growing Corn and Oat Crops. Thornasvilie, Ga. —Cotton planting in this section is nearly over, anu the acreage seems very little larger than that of last year, or, in fact, or several years past, the farmers al ways putting about as much land in it as they can spare. With the high prices of the past season it was thought tnat the acre age would be much much increased, but the south Georgia farmer has found that his food crops are very profitable and a very safe investment for liis time and labor, and he no longer risks his all on cotton. The corn crop in Thomas county was an especially fine one last year, and a large acreage in it has been planted this season. GEORGIA KEVS ROTES. With the receipt of $9,800 iu foes from fertilizer inspection which was turned in by the agricultural depart ment the state treasury now has on hand a fund sufficient to make a pay ment of SI,OOO to each of the eleven district agricultural schools. A “trust-buster” on a scale that promises to grow with ivk rence to the meat and butter question ha 3 started active operations, with head quarters at Waycross. A partnership in which Judge J. T. Myers, J. H. Lewis, W. X. Jones and others are interested has been formed for *he purpose of raisius cattle for beef ana evtra fine cows for dairy products. Five hundred acres of land a few miles from the city is under fence as a pasture. One hundred acres will be devoted to the raising of stock feed. Believing that they have made a rich discovery, C. P. Worty and A. J. Larmon of the lower Tenth district in Whitfield county, are having an an alysis made of some kind of ore they have discovered iu abundance on their property. The vein, which is an unusually heavy one, begins on Wor thy’s property and extends into the property of Larmon. They are both of the opinion that they have discov ered a rich lead ore. By an agreement reached in the office of the prison commission Clarke county will turn over to Tattnall coun ty the twenty convicts which Clarke worked last year, and which were the property of Tattnall. The convicts were worked by Clarke county last year under a contract made with Tatt nall, and, when Tattnall demanded the convicts at the expiration of the year. Clarke county claimed* that the contract was still in force and declin ed to surrender them. People coming in to Thomasville from the Duncanville road, report that in many places the woods are afire and that it is spreading. On the Florida end of the road large pines have burned through at the base and in falling have blocked the road. Many large pines have caught and are being burned and all of the young growth being killed by the heat. The fire is spreading over towards the Miccosukie road and south to ward Bradfordville. Unless it Is checked pretty soon, much of the tim ber in that section will be injured as well as the natural beauty destroyed. Governor Joseph M. Brown takes exceptions to the statement cf a writ er that he is not a humorist and to proove that he is tells a joke on him self about his “ugliness.” The calendar of Bibb county supe rior court for the April term will show ninety-three divorce cases to be set for trial. This is probably the largest list ever carried on a single docket for any one term in the courts of Macon. William 11. Mitchell of Thomas county who is serving a sentence of twelve months in the chaingang on the charge of committing assault and battery upon the person of Miss Lu cile Linton in that county several months ago, for the third time has been denied a pardon by the prison commission. Specific tax amounting to more than $28,000 —for the first quarter of 1910—has been received in the office of the comptroller general. Of this amount Bibb county sent in $10,224. Muscogee county sent in S6OO near beer tax. Counties reporting specific tax were: Troup, $1,689; Thomas, $1,890; Ware, $865; Baldwin, $719; Calhoun , $400; Cherokee, $198; Clarke, $2,350; Crisp, 481; DeKalb, $174; Douglas, $189; Emmanuel, $220; Grady, $369; Gwinnette, $612; Macon, $567; Madison, $211; Meriwether, $324; Newton, $886; Pulaski, $733; Randolph, $189; Stephens, $189; Stew art, $378; Tolbert, $229; Tift, $274; Turner, $603; Upson, $1,373; Warren, $175; Wilkea, $756; Jenkins, $364; Bulloch, $283; McDuffie, $243; Butts, SSBO. Without consideration of expense, the Metropolitan Opera Company will carry its entire corps de ballet on its visit to Atlanta, week of May 2d, and this charming form of entertain ment will be presented as incidental to one or more of the operas that will be given in the Georgia capital. The corps includes several famous premier dancers of both sexes. The senate has confirmed the nom ination of F. Carter Tate to be United States district attorney, northern dis trict of Georgia. That near-beer inspector may be appointed within the next two or three days, according to Governor Joseph M. Brown, and then things will begin to happen if dealers are caught doing business without a li cense. Governor Brown said that it was probable that some action would be taken this week unless develop ments proved that it was unnecessary. He said he did not wish to take sum mary action, but that possibly if ex amples were made in some of the counties it would tend to have a sal utary effect on others. There’s a mighty little money for the state in the new tax on sort drink makers and wholesalers, accord ing to Comptroller General W. A. Wright, who points to the tax returns thus far and calls attention to the sum total thereof —$196.05, paid __ by ttiiree concerns. “Judging from this,’’ says the comptroller, “the whole ot it, when it’s collected, won't make the treasury bulge.” This is the new occupation tax that was enacted at the last session 'of the legislature on all manufacturers and wholesalers of soft drinks. The law requires a quar terly payment by every manufacturer and wholesaler, of one-fourth of 1 per cent of the gross amount of sales in this state. CEOmMfflW.fi IBS Local Taxation for School Purposes. Since October 1, two counties in the suite, Newton and Burke, have es tablished a county-wide system of cal taxation for common scnool pur poses. The number of counties now operating a local tax is twenty-one. In all of these counties, tiie system appears to work well and the schools are constantly, but gradually, becom ing better as a result of this local self-help. School Improvement Clubs. The Federation of \\ omen s Clubs cf Georgia is trying to extend its work iu a very practical way. Under the leadership of Mrs. llugn M. Wil lett, president of the State Federation of clubs, it is undertaken to reach every country district m the state, it is proposed to establish, as tar as is possible, about each country school a club, the purpose of which is to im prove school grounds and buildings, and to aid teachers, in all possible ways, to develop to the utmost the school possibilities of each commun ity. If successful, this step will mean much for the efficiency of country schools, 1 as it will tend to interest, in a helpful and co-operative way, the people and, particularly the motn ers, of each school community iu the education of their children. The following editorial is from the Atlanta Journal, March 30. In accordance with plans matured by the park commission at its meet ing yesterday afternoon, there will bo seven well-equipped playgrounds opened for the children of Atlanta this summer. That is evidence that the city is wholesomely awakening to its respon sibilities iu this important particular. Yet when it is reflected that in the public schools alone there are twenty thousand children, one realizes that seven playgrounds form only an em bryonic beginning in a great and needed work. We have cause to be glad over what is already accomplish ed. Wo arc at least moving ip the right direction. But wo also have cause to be eager and earnest in the establishment of more playgrounds. We must realize that we have barely begun to toddle in this vast duty. If Atlanta is to keep pace on the social as well as commercial side with her peers among cities she must bestir herself in those activities which make the life of the whole peo ple more livable, more heatlhful and enjoyable. And of all such activities, none is now appealing more deeply to the country at large than that ot es tablishing children's playgrounds. At tho meeting of the park commission yesterday Mayor Maddox pointed out that three years ago there were only seventy-seven playgrounds in the United States; that in 1908 this num ber increased to two hundred and seventeen; in 1909 to four hundred and twelve, and in JOIO to one thou sand and twenty-four. New York and Chicago, he showed, are spending millions of dollars annually on behalf of public recreation places. These are significant figures. They indicate the march of present-day eivia thought, and admonish Atlanta that the hour has come when she must fall in line or be left. Medical Inspection of School Children Grows. Atlanta has set a worthy example to the whole state in the matter of taking care of the health of her school children. The more people know of this important work, as ia Indicated in the Atlanta situation, the more they sustain it. Atlanta Journal: At a meeting of the committee of the Atlanta Cham ber of commerce on medical examina tion of school children, held Wed nesday afternoon, resolutions were adopted recommending to the city council the employment of an addi tional medical examiner for Atlanta schools, and recommending to the county commissioners the employ ment of an examiner for the schools of Fulton county. Dr. Stuart Roberts, who has been medical examiner in the city schools for the past year, made a report to the committee, which was of absorb ing interest, which showed the ad vances made in the health of Atlanta children since the inauguration of the examination plan. He showed that in seven thousand children ex amined, in only two instances has there been parental objection to treat ment. The report showed that of two hundred and seven children of defec tive health examined in May, 1909, only fifty-five failed to respond to treatment and regain perfect health. Dr. Roberts shoy/ed that there are some twenty thousand caildren in the city schools now, and that it would be a physical impossibility for him to examine them all thoroughly. It was on the strength of this statement that the resolution mentioned was adopt ed. The meeting was presided over by Chairman V. H. Kreigshaber, with a full attendance present^ Proposed Change in School Board. The question of changing the per sonnel cf the state board of education will be one of the important matters which will come before the general assembly at the coming session. The board at present is composed of the governor, the attorney general, the state school commissioner, the secretary of state and the comptroll er general, but there is a bill pending in the house, and now on the calen dar, providing that the board shall be composed of the governor, the at torney general, the state school com missioner and six. competent teachers of the state who shall either be ap pointed by the governor alone, or by the governor, the attorney general and the state (school commissioner.— Constitution.
