WIFE ‘MADE' JACK SLATON RUN FOR GOVERNOR “She Said I HAD to Enter the Race, and I Did.” He Explains. If ■•Jack" Slaton is the next gov ernor of Georgia—and it looks as if he will he—his wife will be responsible. It became known today that it was only at her plea that he consented to enter the race. When Mr. Sialon was asked Just how he came to be a candidate he bowed deeply with an inimitable gesture In the direction of his wife. When the re porter asked Mrs Slaton if It were really true that her husband would not have entered lhe race for the state’s highest office but for her appeals, she smilingly said she guessed she’d have to admit that it was So it came to be known that Mr. Slaton is giving up e $20,000 law prac tice not nearly so much because he wants to be the ommonweaith’s chief executive as because ne couldn't say no io his wife 'Tell you exactly how it came about," said Mr. Slaton in the beautiful study of hi.- country home on Peachtree road. We had talked over office holding many times. Mrs. Slaton, Mrs. Grant, her mot.her and myself. You see they had to have a man > b>- a candidate, and their ambitions were naturally for me, and I expecf that s wny I was per mitted to attend the conferences. Most ly they’d begin to talk of office holding as a sort of adjunct to housekeeping and I’d find myself injected Into the situadon through a maze of friezes and hangings, and linens, some fountains, a sundial and a r<>w of palms. "What Are You Going to Do?" "I told them.” said Mr. Slaton, se riously now, "that I was perfectly sat isfied with the honors that the people of Georgia have already vouchsafed me; that my law practice was a thing I was taking a great deal of pride in. and that I’d like to keep at it, particu larly as It helps out considerably in paying bills. But Mrs. Slaton would turn to Mrs. Grant at the end of my remarks and she would say that of course they wouldn’t need those lilac curtains for the guest rooms or the din ner set they’d been looking at if I wasn't going to be a candidate. And Mrs Grant would look at me with a look that wondered how I’d dare to set up my will against plans for a Louis XVI chiffonier, and finally Mrs. Sla ton said that I'd got to run for gov ernor because she wanted me to —so I’m running “Here’s the point," continued Mr. Slaton. "What are you going to do when you’re prisoner both to a wife and her mother?" Ona of the candidate’s inimitable ges tures, this time Indicating utter help lessness and sublime resignation, add ed quite a.« much to the explanation m his words, "He’ll Make a Good Governor.” Mrs. Staton smiled confidently. “I’m afraid it’s a shame to admit that that is true," she said. "Really, Mr. Slaton is giving up a law practice that he cares for very much and I’m vain enough of his success In the law to tell that it does jnean a financial sac rifice of three or font times the salary of Georgia’s governor But I’m vain enough, too. you see, to feel sure that he’ll make a pretty good executive and of course. If he's governor, why I'll be the governor’? wife, and I’ll have my chance to put Into execution some of my ..ideas concerning the operation of an executive mansion. The candidate bowed vigorously. "The truth of the matter is," said Mrs. Grant," my daughter is more ambitious about homemaking than Ju lius Caesar ever could have been about a throne. Really, we had to urge Mr Slaton many times before he would an nounce himself, and It Is quite true that he said at first he’d not give up his present interests and bls business, during this campaign at least. But my daughter and I have considerable ex perience at persuasion and always we had him either at the town house or out here in Buckhead, where he couidn'' get away. Os course we won him over and of course we feel certain he is going to be chosen governor, as he should be. and we are really having a regular revel planning how we’ll live if our dream of next November comes true." It is interesting. Incidentally, to an nounce that -Mr. Slaton Is preparing for his gubernatorial campaign by a course in Emerson's essays, with particular at tention to that one entitled "Self-Re liance."

SWORN TO "MAKE GOOD” How would you like to be under oath to “make good" in New York within three years? Well, that’s the propo sition up to Julian Harris, who has just left for the metropolis to be advertising manager for Uncle Remus's Magazine. And he’s tickled half to death over the idea. Here's how it came about: Eighteen years ago four young and exceedingly ambitious Atlantans organized them selves Into the Quadrant club. They were Walter Howard and Joseph John son. of The Journal, and Robert Ad amson and Julian Harris, of The Con stitution. Originally, the club was formed for no reason in particular. The members met each Sunday at a hotel and partook of dinner together. Then it occurred to them that they might make themselves useful as well as or namental; so they decided to give a dinner in honor of some one socially prominent—one of the top-notchers of i the Atlanta "400.” The affair was a huge and glittering success, and. of course, the club had to be entertained for having played host so engagingly. Soon it got to be a fad to entertain the Quadrant club, and its members grew fat and self-important Io an alarming degree. Oath of the Quadrant Boy*. When dining ceased to be original, the Quadrant boys bestirred themselves in other ways, but managed to remain in the limelight all the < time. Then they all took a "paralyzed" oath. It was this. Each man pledged himself to go to New York and “make good" before he was 40. Walter Howard and ‘Moe” Johnson were the first to leave. Howard lost no time in climbing to the forefront. He was Mr. Hearst's right hand man In the successful fight of The New York Journal against the ice trust and he distinguished himself In manv MARTIN LITTLETON’S WIFE HOPES TO SAVE HOME OF JEFFERSON CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA..

Health in POSTUM There’s no injurious caffeine (the drug in tea and coffee) or other harmful ingredient in this famous Table Beverage. Thousands of housewives are learning that not onh economy of purse but better health follows the change to Postum. Among l the many common ailments caused by thoughtless habits of living are headache, listlessness, indigestion, irritability, sleeplessness, and other disa greeable symptoms of disturbed nerves, digestion and circulation, often due to tea and coffee drinking. If interested in health and the good things that naturally go with it. why not try a package of Pos tum from your grocer. For seventeed years Postum has proven a good friend to former tea and coffee drinkers who felt something was wrong, hut didn’t know the cause.

He was honored by being sent to London to represent his paper in the English cap ital. His health became impaired, how ever, and he died some years ago in Asheville, N. C. "Joe” Johnson permitted no grass to accumulate beneath his feet. He plunged headlong into Metropolitan journalism, did fine work and finally got mixed up in New York politics. To day he is fire commissioner of the Greater City with a yearly salary of $15,000. "Bob” Adamson worked his way rapidly upward on the New York pa pers and soon became known as one of the llvest wires In the city. He was city hall reporter for The World when Mayor Gaynor appointed him secreta ry. All this time Julian Harris remained in Atlanta, "making good” in many ways. Johnson Put It Up to Him. A few days ago Fire Commissioner Johnson happened to be in Atlanta and called on Mr. Harris. In the course of the conversation, which, naturally, had to dq with “old times,” he remarked, somewhat casually: "How soon will you be 40, Julian?” "Oh, in about three years,” replied Harris. “Well,” said ‘'Joe,” “you'd better be hiking to the Big Town to keep the old oath,” and he harked back to the days of the Quadrant club. "You’re on," said Harris. “I’ve just been appointed advertising manager of the magazine, andj’m off to New York in a few days. I'll see you as soon as I hit the town.” If the “oath” worried Mr. Harris in the least, he didn’t show it; in fact, he seemed rather anxious to get onto the firing line as soon DIVORCED WIFE OF CAPT.

PEOPLE Iffl TO PICK MUSIC FARE City Organist to Play What Majority Wants, Even if It’s “Ragtime.” The Atlanta Music Festival associa tion wants to find just what the popu lar taste in music is in this city and it has adopted the simple experiment of letting the public select the airs that will be played under direction of City Organist Dr. Percy 3. Starnes at the free organ recital in the Auditorium- Armory next Sunday. Some people in ths association be lieve Atlantans as a whole like a menu consisting principally of II Trovatore or Rlgoletto, such as have been served at the free concerts in the recent past. Others think the public taste runs more nearly t, “Everybody’s Doin' It,” or at least a combination of the “rag,” without too much of the latter. So Professor Starnes has said that he will give the people next Sunday exactly what they ask for, and he asks all citizens who are going to attend that concert to send him by mail the selections they’d most care to hear. The city organist said he would play what was asked for. regardless of its position in the musical hall of fame. If a representative number of citizens make selections for the concert it is probable that the general class of music they prefer will be rendered hereafter at the free concerts.

A woman who has used Pestuni since It catne upon the market knows from experience the wisdom of using Postum in place of test or coffee if one values health and a clear brain. She says: “At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum. I got a package and had it carefully prepared, finding It delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervous ness and dyspepsia. “My husband had been drinking cof fee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to shift to Postum. It was easy to get him to make the change, for Posftmt is so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stom ach. • "To make a long story short, our entice family continued to use Postum with satisfying results as shown in our fine condition of health." Better health follows the use of Postum in place of tea and coffee, sometimes In a very marked manner. "There's a Reason." Look in packages for the famous little book.
