MONIMt. DECEMBER 14, 190®:
BOYS’ CLUB F
GBOWSTO $2,630
Meeting at Grand Gives
New Impetus To Work
For Boys.
At a big mui meeting at the
Grand Sunday afternoon, held In the
Interest of the 'boyn' Club, $1,(10 was
raleed by subscription for the running
txpensss of the club for the ensuing
year and a campaign for funds to build
a jr.O.OflO club house for the beys woe
outlined. Speeches were made by Gov
ernor Hoke Smith, Habbt David Mara,
Father Gunn, W. S. William, George
C. Dorr and J. K. Orr.
Superintendent Dorr told of the work
of tho club for the past year and of
what the club hoped to accomplish
. within the neat year. He said the pres
ent quarters In Trlnlty-ave. were too
small. A more commodious building
centrally located was badly needed, it
building containing a swimming pool,
gymnasium and miniature theater. At
the latter clean entertainments would
supplant those of questionable charac
ter. which made bids for the patronage
of the boys. A manual training depart-
Mr. Dorr thought such a building
. should cost not lees than $50,000, and
expressed himself as b
that this sum could be
' the next year.
Governor Smith was also of the opin
ion that 100 dtlxens could be found
without much difficulty who would give
$S00 each.
Boys March to Moating.
The large audience, which quite Ailed
the lower floor and balcony, were deep
ly Interested In the great work that Is
being done for Atlanta's youngest dtl-
sens, and enthusiastically applauded
the speakers. The boys, 400 strong,
formed at their club quarters, marched
to the theater and occupied seats on
the stage. They carried standards on
which were such mottoes as these:
"The Future of Atlanta Depends on
Us," "Good Citizenship Our Aim,"
"Soap and Water for Us."
The club was organised a year ago
September with a membership of 1$. It
now has an enrollment of more than
100.
Governor Smith presided and Intro'
duced the speakers. In opening the
meeting he said: "It Is our duty to
S ve every boy and girl In Atlanta and
torgla a chance to fit themselves for
the highest perfection attainable men
tally, morally and physically. I would
not atop the efforts that are being made
by missionary societies to help the peo
ples of other lands, but we must not
forget the boys of our own land. '
think the ladles especially should be
come Interested In this work, thp wom
en's clubs of the city and state. If the
women only knew of what opportuni
ties for doing good existed in this work
for the boys, every boy In Atlanta
would have this chance to make a man
of himself.”
Father Gunn Speaks.
Father Gunn said: "This Is a time
of many organisations. We have a so
ciety for the protectlom of animals, a
society for the protection of forests,
but the Boys' Club Is a society for the
protection of America's greatest asset,
the boys."
Dr. David Marx said that Juvenile
delinquency has decreased In Atlanta
on account of the Boys.' Club. “Th*
street gang has always existed, always
will exist, and the problem Is whether
It will have wise leadership or not. This
Is what the club Is trying to accom
plish,” he said.
Mr. Orr and Mr. Wltham had charge
of the collection and Interspersed that
work with many wise and witty say 1
Ings. Mr. Wltham said: "There Is a
boy who works In an Iron yard. That
boy. plus k chance, may give Atlanta
another Carnegie. Another boy work
in an electrical plant. That boy, ptu
a chance, may be another ESdlson. An
other boy la a newsboy. That boy, plui
a chance, may be another Franklin. At
three of the boys, minus a chance, may
be burglars or sots."

Rheumatism Caused
By Dyspepsia
Bo Claim Many Eminent Doctors
Upon Recent Scientific
Investigation.
A Urge school of physicians which Is
constantly Increasing, claims that iha
eating of too much animal foods creates
an over-supply of protelds. which are
oxygen and sulphur, and that when
exygen and sulphur, and that when
such protelds are Imperfectly dlgesUd
and go Into the blood they create vast
quantities of nitrogen which the oxy
gen from the lungs can not neutralise
and hence results, uric add and rheu
matism and acores of other diseases.
These protelds do not permit the as-
slmlMtlon processes to take place prop,
erly and poisoning results all through
the blood.
. However, If such protelds are per
fectly digested they form a most valu
able part of our food and are abso
lutely necessary to life.
Tbe fault then rests with the stomaeb
and tbs digestive apparatus.
Hence It Is claimed by these tatter
day authorities that rhsumatlsm arises
Ir. tbs stomach or through the stomach
and not In the kidneys, as some medical
authorities teach.
Btuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets cure dys
pepsia, reduce protelds to their natural
condition best taken up by the system,
give strength to tbe blood, rest ths
stomach and Invigorate and renew the
gastric fluids, pancreatic juice and the
digestive organs In general.
Forty thousand physicians use these
little digesters, and every druggist eells
them. Me per box. or send us your

FOR OLD PEOPLE
After reaching the age of forty th#
human system gradually declines In
virility and strength and becomes less
able each year to combat sickness. It
Is then that the adtamulMed poisons
In ths blood make themselves manifest
by rheumatic pains In the joints, mus
cles and back.
These warning twinge* should be
promptly relieved and serious Illness
avoided by using the following pre
scription which shows wonderful re
sults even after the first few doses and
It will eventually restore full physical
vigor.
"One ounce compound syrup of Ssr-
_-parilln; one ounce Torts compound;
half pint of high-grade whisky. This
to be mixed and used In tabteepoonful
doses before each meal and at bedtime.
The bottle to be well shaken each
time." Any druggist can supply the
Ingredients.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.
Indigestion and tbe attendant dis
comforts or ntlnd and body are certain
to follow continued use of Improper
food.
Those who are still young and ro
bust are likely to overlook th* feet that,
as dropping water will wear a atone
away at last, so will the use of heavy,
greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of
etlte nnd Indigestion.
. ortunately many are though
enough to' study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their dally food. A N. T. young woman
writes her experience thus:
"Sometime ago I had a lot of trouble
from Indigestion, caused by flk> rich
food. 1 got so I was unable to digest
scarcely anything, and medicines
seemed useless.
“A friend advised me to try Grape-
Nuts fond, praising It highly, end as a
