He de clared that conditions would be im proved as rapidly as possible, but that a campaign of education must be un dertaken first. He said: "My duties will be largely educa tional. The manufacturers, railroads and other large consumers of soft coal in Atlanta are not emitting smoke ma liciously. They are more than willing to abate the nuisance if shown how. particularly if, as some have already learned', it can be done with no in crease in operating expense. In order •to get results quickly we must have the co-operation of the large coal con sumers. VVe can not compel the rigid enforcement of the new smoke ordi nance in all its terms immediately. Such policy would' work great hard ships upon manufacturers already lo cated here and would have the effect, for a time at least, of keeping away from Atlanta other plants which our various commercial organizations are trying to bring here. "The smoke nuisance can be abated by properly directed efforts, in which >we expecte the assistance of the man ufacturers, but it can not be entirely abolished until all antiquated steam plans have been worn out and replaced by more modern equipment. Each stack presents its own individual prob lem to be solved and this will take time. It is unreasonable t expect that an evil which has been accumulating for 30 years shall be done away witli in a day. We hope for the indulgence and patience of Atlanta while we are working out the solution of this prob lem and promise that conditions will be Improved as rapidly as our best ef forts can get results."

MAY BECOME A NATION OF BEARDED WOMEN If You Value Your Face, Beware of So-Called Hair Removers. They Cause a Soft Fuzz to Come Back a Stiff, Bristly Beard. It is the opinion of eminent authori ties that if women continue to remove superfluous hair with worthless, pois onous depilatories, it will be only a question of time before, we will have a nation of bearded women, because even when a downy growth is removed by these compounds and concoctions, it is sure to grow out again coarser and heavier after each removal and event ually it will become a stiff, bristly beard Then it will be necessary to re sort to the use of the razor, because no preparation will be strong enough Ip remove it without ruining the skin. It can be safely said that eczema will most likely become a national disease if women continue to use so-called depilatories. Nothing has done more to produce serious skin troubles and eczem ■ than the use of these prepara tions. While the harm caused by them is not always noticeable with the first few applications, the real injur;* plainly manifests itself after frequent and con tinued use. For years we have been cautioning women against the use of poisonous pastes, powders, fake "beauty article recipes" and so-called liquid “cures.' but it seems that some are always willing to be humbugged, because as soon as one faker has gotten all he can out of confiding women, another takes his place, and so it will continue as long as women will permit them selves to be victims of such impostors. If you don't mind taking the risk of disfigurement, why pay twenty-five cents to one dollar or more for such worthless preparations, when you can procure from any drug store for five or ten cents a sufficient quantity of the Ingredients to last a year? , It must be borne in mind that after the growth of hair is stimulated by the use of so-called depilatories it will ne cessitate a much longer and more per sistent treatment with DeMiracle than it would have otherwise required. Therefore, isn’t It safer to stop experi menting and use the world-famous De- Miracle which is acknowledged by em inent authorities everywhere as the standard depilatory—the one perfected, non-poisonous, safe and harmless prep aration that dissolves hair, thereby taking the vitality out of it. conse quently retarding and preventing an increased ’growth? The best and most convincing proof that DeMiraele is the only absolutely reliable and trustworthy hair remover PRINER HIT BY TROLLEY CAR DIES OF INJURIES James T. Melson. 45 years old, of Kirk wood, who was injured by a street car near his home Friday, died early today. Mr. Melson was a printer, employed by an Atlanta firm. JJe is survived by his widow and several children. The funeral will be held at Greenberg & Bond’s chapel tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock Buria' will be in Decatur, Ga is that it has stood the test of time. It was the largest selling depilatory ten years ago and more of it has been sold each year since than the combined sales of the nostrums. The mere fact that fake-dangerous preparations are short-lived should alone be sufficient warning to avoid the use of any depil atory but that of proven merit. Don't be deceived or deluded by al luring and impossible claims of im postors. who usually resort to publish ing testimonials procured for a money consideration from one or two physi cians of questionable standing, or from some unknown woman, who is dubbed as a “great ’Society leader.” More than likely the preparations were never used by the writers of the so-called testi monials. Tell any one of them that DeMiracle Chemical Company will for feit Five Thousand Dollars If it can be proven that their so-called superfluous hair "cures” ever eradicated one single growth of superfluous hair. Insist on proof when fakers say such preparations are "indorsed by the med ical profession.” To substantiate our claim that DeMiracle is the only de pilatory that has ever been indorsed by reputable physicians, surgeons, derma tologists, medical journals, prominent magazines and newspapers, we will send copies of the testimonials on re quest. And, nnind you, every one is genuine. If they were not. we could be compelled by law to discontinue pub lishing them. All reliable dealers sell and recom mend DeMiraqJe, knowing ft to be the best and safest depilatory. Some un principled ones will tell you they can not procure it so that they may more easily influence you to purchase their own or possibly some other dangerous, worthless substitute under another la bel for a few cents more profit To protect you from just such Imposition, if your dealer will not supply you. mail us SI.OO and we will send you. all charges paid. In plain, sealed wrapper, a SI.OO bottle of DeMiracle, and we will make you a present of a full-size jar of DeMiracle Cream If you care to. give us the name of the dealer who tries to sell you a “just as good" imi tation or substitute.
