FOR SALE, CHEAP; FINE BAR FIXTURES ARE USELESS HERE Much Plate Glass and Ma 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. Fourteen Waitresses Arrive.

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.
