The notion that meat Is necessary foi
real strength and tho foundation of
solid flesh Is now no longer oa preva

Excessive meat enters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion Is
changed Into what is practically a kind
of poison that acts upon the blood and
nerves, thue getting all through the
syetem.

RECRUIT NEGROES
FOR ISLAND ARMY
Negroes who are not undesirable cit
izens may now have a cHance to en

Orders to this effect were received
by Lieutenant R. P. Winslow, In
charge of the army recruiting office In
Atlanta, on Thursday, and these orders
will remain in effect prob&blr until
enough men have been secured.
This is the flrs( time In more than
n year that negroes have been enlisted
In the army. And even now this Is not
to Increase the size nf the army nor to
increase the regular number of negro
troops In the army.
The enllstrpant order is merely for

"Original enlistments of colored ap

ARE USELESS HERE

hogany To Go On Mar
ket in New Year.
bargain prices. Possesion January
I. Take ’em at your own price. Own
ers have good reason for disposing of
them.
This ad has not been inserted In the
want columns, but it represents the po
sition of many a saloonkeeper In At
lanta. While much has been written on
what saloon men will do for a living
after the first of the year, and more
still on how fast the buildings they
are now located in are being gobbled
up by other tenants, nothing has been
said about the money invested In In
side furnishings.
Bar fixtures cost money and plenty
of It. A decent-looking bar room must
have plenty of mirrors, .shining chan
deliers, electric light fixtures, polished
wood and carved trimmings. The in
side of a bar room must be attractive
with brilliant lights nnd expensive sur
roundings. A drink would not be near
as attractive if taken from a board
standing on two empty barrels.
Hence the sacrifice sale.
Now, after the first of the year, bar
fixtures will be aa useful to Atlanta
saloonkeepers as a volume of Shakes-
PMN to a Zulu chief.
Colonel Harry Silverman keeps post
ed on such things, and ho probably
knows better than any other man Juit
what the loss will be along this line.
He says there are $250,000 worth of
bar fixtures in Atlanta that will be for
sale when llciuor goes out, but he does
not think there will be a ready mar
ket for them.
"It will be almost Impossible to sell
them," said the colonel, "and many
saloonkeepers are going to leave their
fixtures behind them for tho landlord
to do as he sees fit with.
"It wouldn't pay him to tear them
down and store them. They have been
made to fit certain places, and, aa a
result, most of the fixtures will be use
less to anybody else. Some who have
very expensive fixtures will tear them
out and put them In storage with tho
hope that a sale may be effected later
on. Even that will be expensive.
"A little may be realized on them,
but most of tho money Invested in
them will be a loss,”
If there are $230,000 worth of fix
tures In Atlanta, the amount involved
all over the state will foot up Into a
big fortune. So there are plenty of
bargains for any saloonkeeper who is
about to start in business In a state
where liquor Is allowed.
Many of the saloons were equipped
by the brewing companies which fur
nished the capital for the business, and
the breweries retained possession of
the fixtures. Many of the smaller
snloons are practically owned by lo
cal nnd other breweries. Bfllwnukee
and St. Louis breweries own the fix
tures In several uojown bnrs. and prob
ably will tenr them.put and s el It hem
to some new.customer In a-"wet state.

Appendicitis
How To Avoid It and Escape a
Surgical Operation, Told By
One Who Know*.
A Simpl* Method That I* Alwsye
Efficacious.
It hns only been a few years since It
was discovered that a surgical pP«r*-
tlon would cure appendicitis; In fact, it
hns been but a snort time since the
disease was discovered and named.
Whenever there Is an Inflamed con
dition of tho appendix, caused by im
pacted faeces In the small cavity open
ing into the Intestine, you then h*\e
appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this in.
(lamination of the bowels, and were
puzzled to know the cause.
Even now, with all the knowledge we
have of the disease, no medical men
can tell you why we should have an
appendix, why we find it, where it J*.
or what aro Its functions, if it has any.
The disease for which the operation
Is a cure is usually caused by indjg***
tlon, and In many cases follows a wrge
and Indigestible rrtttl.
Physicians have vntll recently
ommended an operation, but now, as «
Is known that it is caused by Indiges
tion, or dyspepsia, a cure without an
operation Is assured. . H
Where the patient Is treated »ltn
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, the un
healthy conditions prevailing rapmiy
disappear, the stomach nnd Intestine*
are placed back In their norma! condi
tion. every organ of the body operate
as It should, and tho inflammation is
reduced and the operation Is avoldea.
Conscientious physicians, who *r*
looking after the best Interests of tneir
patiehts. will always keep a suppl> «
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets haMj *[[
their office, where In cases of »UgJJJ
attacks of indigestion they can rene>*
the patient at once. .
There 13 no record of a case or ap
pendldtls where the stomach ana
bowels were in a healthy condition ana
properly digested the food from meal
meal.
No better advice can be given to «n>
w*ie who has attacks of Indigestion,
who has been threatened with appen
dicitis, than to tell him to go to tn«
drug store, pay 50 cents, and take nom«
a package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Whenever heartburn, gas in
aeh or bowels, heart disease or •tomacn
troubles, sour eructions, acidity or fer
mentation are present, act at one.
Take a dose of the Tablets and get *•
