Resigns to Support New
Third Party.
WASHINGTON, July 17. —Having
decided to join the new third party
movement and help Colonel Roosevelt

rations.

cabinet" during the previous adminis
tration.

frankly advised President Taft of his
intention to join the new party.

tends to support the new party because,
he declares, that movement includes the
principles he believes in and which he
has "earnestly endeavored to further so
far as I could during my term of Fed
eral service."
I feel that the new party represents
these principles more directly, and with
more promise and power of perform
ance. than either the Republican or
Democratic party," says Mr. Smith.
President Taft today named Luther
< 'onant. present deputy commissioner
of corporations, to be commissioner of
corporations to succeed Herbert Knox
Smith.
The president also named Sherman

URGES CURFEW
■ Lffl IN ATLANTA
Newsboys Club Also Is Planned
by Chief County Probation
Officer Tindall.
W. W. Tindall, chief county proba
tion officer, seeks strict laws regard
ing the public conduct of children. He
began today a plan to obtain a curfew
law and to effect a newsboys’ organi
zation.
"I am going to try' to have both the
laws put into effect," said Mr. Tindall.
"We need a curfew rule in Atlanta
probably more than any other thing
concerned with children. The news
boys association might be made to co
operate with officers in enforcement of
the law and would certainly benefit the
young boys now roaming the streets at
night."
Mr, Tindall’s plan is to have the
newsboys organized into a club, and to
get an order from city officials that no
boy not a member of the club be al
lowed to sell newspapers on the streets.
The curfew law is planned along lines
followed in other cities.
“By the two laws we would be able to
prevent a great deal of minor lawless
ness by newsboys and could also keep
children from running on the streets at
night unless they have written per
mission from their parents,” said Mr.
Tindall.

SUMMER COLDS
COME FROM A
TORPID LIVER
Active Liver Keeps the Head
Clear and the Smile Cheerful
When the Liver Gets Lazy the
Blood Thickens and the System
Becomes Easily Susceptible to
Cold and Disease.
The summer cold is directly trace
able to an inactive liver. You get
overheated and cool off too suddenly,
the pores of the skin become closed, the
blood recedes from the surface of the.
body and a congestion is produced. The
same condition follows when you sit in
a draft, or get wet. The liver finds Its
efforts overcome by pressure of the
blood, and food remains in the stoma,ch
or bowels. The head gets hot. the, feet
cold and the bowels constipated. Right
then and there is the danger point. The
bowels must be kept open. The system
must be relieved of congestion.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT Is the great
est known relief. It is better than calo
mel. It will rejuvenate the liver, send
the blood racing through the veins,
dispel the congestion and make you feel
as if life Is worth living.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT acts quickly
and mildly, and never gripes or nau
seates. Don’t take an Inferior substi
tute. Some stores may offer other prep
arations upon which they make larger
profits, often similar name, but very
different, in action. JACOBS’ LIVER
SALT is 25c for a 1-2-lb. jar at drug
gists, or sent by mall (postage 16c ad
ditional). Jacobs' Pharmacy, Atlanta.
