SEW ZEALANDER CREATES EXCITEMENT IN ATLANTA Scientist and Explorer, Who Dealt Deathblow to Zeppe lin Raids on Poor and De fenseless Women and Chil dren of London, Stirs Peo ple of Atlanta WIFE DECORATED BY THE KING OF ENGLAND His Greatest Discovery, How ever, to Caere Ev->n Bigger Sensation and Will Affect M'!l’ons of Men and Women Everywhere Atlanta has never witnessed fltich a spectacle ah may be seen every Tny at Five Point*. where John Pomeroy, the remarkable New Zea lander. is meeting the public and explaining: his unique theories. it would he hard to estimate Just how many people call to see Mr Pomeroy during a single flay. The store where he makes his headquar ters seems to have become the mecca lor hundred* of people anxious to see him and to hear him tell his be wildering but convincing theories. Mr Pomeroy has gained a world wide reputation for his scientific Gtuius, and especially by giving the Allies the means to stop the dis t rdly German air raids# oh the poor, defenseless women and children of London and the entire surrounding country. The genius of the war's greatest romance, the man who received $125,- “000 from the -Jritlsh government as a partial recognition of the obliga tion of the nation to him, the "Sav iour of London.” the man whose wife was decorated by King George of Kngland personally for "self-sacrifice and meritorious service" in making up the last 5,000 Pomeroy bullets herself when others feared to go near them on account of their high *• plosive power, the man who could be toasted and feted by royalty and the nobility wherever he goes, if he ho desired, came to Georgia unher alded. “Yes, it is true,” said his secre tary when seen at the Piedmont Ho tel in Atlanta several days ago. "'that Mr. Pomeroy is the man who created the explosive bullet that put an end to the Zeppelin raids on Eng land. "Words can but weakly picture the terrors inflicted by those air monsters of incarnate destruction, the Zeppelins. "Imagine, if you can, a quiet, home-loving community in England. "It is nightfall—mothers tucking away their precious, helpless little tots for the night. Shades drawn, lights burning cheerfully, and the older children gathered round the table for the evening's study hour. "Suddenly comes a tearing, madden ing crash, rending the quiet peace, followed by the horrible mingle of screams of terror and the agonizing cries of the mangled victims. "A devasting, death-reaping bomb has been dropped into this peaceful community of inoffensive, helpless women and children, from a huge Zeppelin manned by a crew of fiends whose greatest joy lies in deeds of unspeakable inhumanity. "Until Mr. Pomeroy stopped the Zeppelins from ravaging England, the people of London were terror stricken and afraid to venture out from their places of hiding, knowing that at any moment a German bomb might fall right into their midst anti annihilate them. Imagine such a condition in one of our own cities, and then see the gratitude of the people when the menace of instant death is taken away. That is how the people of London and entire Eng land worshipped this man when they saw the ZeppeUns brought down in flames, one one, as fast as they came from their haunts across the sea. Everywhere could be heard the now familiar slogan: ‘Good old Pomeroy, we love you,' as each Ger man air raider fell, never to harass the defenseless women and children of civilization again. "Mr. Pomeroy does not consider tfete his greatest achievement, how evw/‘ continued his secretary. "The ihulltt was just an incident in con nection with his life work, which has been the conservation of human life and alleviating the suffering. For years he has traveled all over the Antipodes investigating and testing the wonderful curative properties of the plants that grow on the South Sea Islands Some of these plants were known to the native chiefs; Mrs. eßtty Vivian has returned from a month’s stay in Chattanooga. “The Hearts of the World” Grand Opera House, Jan. 30th.

At the time of ttiis discovery, the scient ist was almost a physical wreck, hut soon after, by the aid of ills own treatment, he was able to regain his former robust health, which he has enjoyed ever since." To use Mr. Pomeroy's own words— ‘disease is just like the Zeppelin. it is just as heartless and cruel, and even more destructive than the mur derous airships of the ruthless Hun. If is also, as I have demonstrated Just as vulnerable in most cases to the right kind of treatment. I have perfected a medicine that conquers stomach trouble, and the ills that result therefrom, just as sureiy as my bullet freed England from the terrors of the assassins of the air. To my mind, the bullet Is a small arid lnsigninjlcant contribution to humanity compared with my medi cine, which is, as surely as I live, destined to free multiplied thousands from one of the most dead!> and cruel enemies of the human race.” "Only recently," said his secretary, "at the suggestion of a group of bus iness men and capitalists, he con sented to permit the use of his prod uct as a commercial proposition, but then only when he was convinced that in no other way could he hope to reach and benefit hundreds of thou sands of people who really needed his medicine. It was shown to him that ho could only reach a limited number through his own personal work, whereas if his medicine were placed within reach of those who need it, every one would have the opportunity to benefit from his great discovery. However, Mr. Pomeroy insisted that with every bottle there would also be given a guarantee that the purchaser is to be returned his money If satisfactory results are not obtained.” It is reported that quite a few of the leading druggists in this section have already taken steps to get Mr. Pomeroy's famous medicine, which is called Puratone, so the people here will have the opportunity to benefit by it the same as the people of the big cities where Mr. Pomeroy is visiting. “Kverywhere Mr. Pomeroy drives home the basic truth," remarked his secretary, "that the stomach is the organ that governs the general health of all mankind, and it is his theory that if the stomach Is toned up and strengthened, and its func tions properly directed, it follows as surely as the night follows day, that the other organs of the system will respond and that robust health and strength will be restored to the weak and sickly. “He is surrounded by a mass of data right now," continued his sec retary. and you can depend upon it that the results of his work will oe startling disclosures that will make men thlnkT is spending the winter with her niece, Mrs. E.

JANUARY 22, 1920 IMMORTAL PICTURE COMES TO GRAND "Hearts of the World" at Popular Playhouse Friday of Next Week For One Day Only. Manager Harris G. Cope announces in the advertising columns of this I week’s issue of The Tribune-News the fact that he has secured for Friday of next week David W. Griffith’s great masterpiece, "Hearts of the World,” and only two showings are possible be ’ cause of the massiveness, both in the | scenic effects as well as the wonderful story it teils. In order that no one might be confused, Mr. Cope Is calling attention to the fact that this picture is not "Hearts of Humanity,” which was shown in Cartersville some months ago to packed houses. Although “Hearts of the World" has been shown in many sections of the country, Atlanta included, for prices ranging up to $1.50, the admission charges for the showing in Carters ville have been announced as 25c and 55c for the matinee, beginning at 2 o’clock, and 55c and 85c for the night performance, which starts at 7:30 o’clock. Mr. Cope has also secured the co-op eration of number of Cartersville merchants in making the date on which the picture is to show a sort of bargain day. They have a page advertisement in this issue, and in this connection Mr. Cope announced a very unique contest in which eight tickets to "Hearts of Humanity" are to be given away. Brief Resume of the Play. "Hearts of the World" was eighteen months in the making. The production is not in any sense a war play, but a love story of the great war, with the conflict serving as the grim background. The battle scenes were taken on the battlefields of France by permission and with the assistance f the British and French governments. Mr. Griffith and many of his princi pal players, including Lillian and Dor othy Gish and Mrs. Gish, mother of the two girls; Robert Harron and Geo. A. Seigmann, were under actual bom bardment three times, on one occasion for a period covering four hours. Mr. Griffith had to wear a steel hel met to protect him from shrapnel and a gas mask tosffotect his lungs during the taking of many of the stirring scenes. Many of the most striking scenes in the film owe their effects to the remarkable courage of Mr. Griffith and his intrepid cameratnan, "Billy” Bitzer, who was with him under fire hundreds of times. Neither Mr. Grif fith nor any of his company received injuries other than a slight wound in Mr. Griffith’s arm from flying shrap nel. David Lloyd George, prime minister of England, received Mr Griffith in pri vate audience in the British cabinet rooms in Downing street, London. Upon Mr. Griffith’s departure, Lloyd George said: "God speed you in your great work and grant that you may accom plish your desires.” In the prologue of t}ie story of "Hearts of the World” Lloyd George is seen shaking hands with Mr. Griffith prior to the latter’s departure for the French lines. More than 120 000 feet of films were taken, although only 12.000 feet aie used in the production. David Wark Griffith was the first American ever to set foot in the front line trenches. This was, of course, be fore the United States entered the war. There is no papier mache scenery, nor any artificial scenery of any kind used in the production; no studio "props,” no supernumeraries, no "fakes” or artificialities whatsoever throughout the entire film. Mr. Griffith describes “Hearts of the World” as a “story of the great war,” with the actual conflict itself serving only as the grim background for the unfolding tale of life in a small French village. The story of “Hearts of the World” was written by M. Maston de Tolignac, and translated from the French by Cap tain Victor Marier. The story is in two parts. “The Hearts of the World” Grand Opera House, Jan. 30th.

With Mr. Stiles’ sual frankness and candor, he states what he stands for and openly advocates a change both in selecting county commissioners as well as the manner in which the board should transact the business of the county. Mr. Stiles’ candidacy will bring prominently to the front a very live and vital question for consideration by the tax-payers. SAM JONES MEMORIAL CHURCH. S. A. Harris, Pastor.
