Backslider ** /7/fe
from Wellville
to Dingbat-Town
4 slide:—
from health to ill-health x
. ¥\
A great many people have tried the slide, who didn't know exactly what
they would get in “Dingbat-Town.’’
The coffee drinker is quite certain to get some kind of a “bat." It may be in
stomach, liver, heart, bowels, eyes, kidneys or some other organ, for the bad effects
of the caffeine in coffee, locate in a variety of different organs in different people.
Many persons who knew this some time ago quit coffee and commenced Pos
tum.
Then, because they found trouble in having Postum prepared suitablv at ho
tels and elsewhere, they gave it up and went back to coffee, thinking. “Now I am
well and can stand it.”
So they became backsliders and when they slid into “Dingbat-Town.” symp
toms of the old troubles began to show again, thev found it difficult to return to
Wellville.
Now comes
Instant Postum
as one sure way to get back.
Instant Postum is in powder form—made from regular Postum and contains
the same nourishing ingredients:—you simply stir a level teaspoonful into a cup of
hot water and instantly have a perfect cup of Postum; it has a delicious mel
low flavour and is free from the coffee drug, Caffeine.
It can be made anywhere that hot water can be obtained; in hotels, on the
train, in the office —its high, rich quality is constantly uniform.
Tins holding enough for about 100 cups are sold for 50 cents by grocers.
Smaller tins at 30 cents, make about 50 cups.
Ordinary coffee costs about twice as much.
A two cent stamp to cover postage will carry to you a 5-cup sample tin free.

Georgia Poultry Association Sets Its Dates
EARLIER SHOW THIS YEAR
The poultry show situation in Atlan
ta is complicated—and unfortunate.
Out of an unnecessary and illogical
situation last year there came two
poultry shows —more than Atlanta
needed and morp than was for the
good of the poultry industry in the
city and in tne state.
Half-hearted efforts are being made
now to smooth out this situation. If
they are sincere, they may be success
ful. But come what may. the Georgia
Poultry association will hold its show
October 27 to November 2. in the At
lanta Auditorium-Armory.
Here is what has been done already
toward giving this show :
Officers of the association have been
elected. >
Dates have been set.
The Auditorium has been definitely
contracted for.
Judges have been engaged.
Coops for 3,000 birds are owned by
the association.
Printed notices have been issued and
sent broadcast over the country.
The show has been virtually under
written.
Nothing can head it now. And on Oc
tober 27 to November 2 the Georgia
Poultry association, the original show
organization of Atlanta, will give its
ninth annu.il show.
The G. P. A. Means Business.
The Georgia Poultry association is no
fly-by-night concern. It has been giv
ing shows in Atlanta for nine years. It
has financed shows in Atlanta when
the thing seemed hopeless and when it
was necessary for the promoters to dig
down in their pockets after each show
to pay the losses. But the losses have
been paid The Georgia Poultry asso
ciation does not owe a debt tn the
world. It gave Atlanta its first big
show two years ago. It gave another
corking good one last year. It will give
a still better one this fall. •
The Georgia Poultry association is no
small organization. It numbers stock
holders all over the state. It has as
its officers H. G. Hastings, president;
Ewell Gay, first vice president; Julian
McCamy. second vice president; Dr. R.
B. Callahan, third vice president; E.
E. Mack, fourth vice president; C. A.
Dobbs, fifth vice president; M. F. Mor
ris, treasurer; C. O. Harwell, secretary.
A more representative body of poultry
enthusiasts it would be difficult to find
in the state.
These men know the poultry indus
try and understand the giving of shows.
Secretary Harwell has been in the poul-
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. 1912.
try show business as a side line for
nine years. He is known all over the
South as an expert, and the shows that
have been given under his management
have all been successful.
Secretary Harwell attended the re
cent meeting of the American Poultry
association in Nashville and solicited
entries there from breeders of fine birds
all over America. He met with grati
fying success and expects to have here
during the week of 'October 27-Novem
ber 2 some of the finest show birds in
all America. He has been promised
entries from the South and from other
sections as well, and will be able to
give a show that will be virtually na
tional in scope.
Will Be the "Quality Show.”
No effort ever has been made or ever
will be made by this organization to
attract entries of mediocre birds. It
realizes onlj too well that quality is
what counts in a poultry show. Last
year, in the face of competition, the
Georgia Poultry association went out
after the highest class of birds only.
Every man who entered a bird was re
quired to pay the regular entry fee.
No special inducements were offered.
It was desired to make a show that was
representative, and the effort was a
success.
So was the show a success. It was
hurt by bad weather and by the late
ness of the dates. But it was a cork
ing good exhibition of Southern poultry.
There were no clap-trap side lines, no
phony features, nothing bnt a good,
straight poultry show, with birds of
class on exhibition in every' coop.
On this same basis, that of giving a
real poultry show, the coming exhibi
tion will be run.
The Judges Are Experts.
Three judges, known to poultrymen
of all America, have been secured. They
are F. J. Marshall, W. C. Pierce and F.
H. Shellabarger. They are men of the
highest standing and of the broadest
experience. It would have been possi
ble to sacrifice “quality' judging” for
“quantity judging” and to have secured
more men. Bitt three good judges are
enough to handle any show which was
ever given in the 'South especially
when they are accorded the expert as
sistance that is given to every’ man who
passes on the fowls at a G. P. A. show.
The prizes this year will be particu
larly qumerous and valuable. In addi
tion to the regular cash prizes, there
will be a multitude of special cash
prizes and a big showing of cups and
other valuable trophies.
MLSDN 111 LINE
FOR PORE FOOD;
1
governor Also Attacks Tariff!
Again in Series of Speeches
in New York.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10. It was a
busy day for Gove nor Woodrow Wil
son. The Democratic presidential nom
linee attended a pure food conference
at the Colony club, the most exclusive
women's organization in New York,
j where he delivered a speech promising
I to make pure food a live campaign is
sue; opened the Democratic tariff ex-i
| hibition at 19 Union square with al
i speech on the tariff; delivered another
address on the same subject in theopen
air in Union square, conferred with a
number of national leaders at national
headquarters upon his future speaking
program, and delivered a long tariff ad
dress before the New York Press club
At the tariff exhibit Governor Wilson
advanced the new thought that Ameri
can manufacturers in demanding a high
tariff barrier for their own protection
are really taxing themselves This puts
United States industries at a disadvan
tage in trying to compete in the world's
markets abroad, he said.
"We are pampering our industries,"
said the presidential nominee, "and we
are pampering them at the very time
they should be getting free. American
industry is now in a strait-jacket, and
what we are fighting for in behalf of in
dustry is freedom.”
It is mortifying. Governor Wilson
said, that a tariff exhibit should he
necessary. Such an object lesson, the
speaker declared, is like sending grown
ups to the kindergarten. The governor
continued his attack by saying that the
manufacturers were really’ robbing
themselves. He pointed out that a sew
ing machine may be purchased in Mex
ico for $lB that costs S3O here.
"How much greater," he cried, “would
the market for these machines be if
they were sold for $lB here as well as
In Mexico."
In his Press club address the gov
ernor assailed the Republican parly,
and remarked the impotency of the
new Progressive party.
Spokesman for the People.
The governor said, in part:
I have come here for the purpose of
discussing just as candidly as possible the
political situation, and 1 hope that in
doing so I shall do injustice to no one.
1 am not one of those w'ho believe that
the right tactics in politics is to depreciate
the men you are opposed to and to belittle
and misrepresent the forces with which
you have to content. It ought to be a
frank, straightforward and fair determi
nation of what it is we are to agree upon
and do, and how we are to do it in the
great field of our common action.
“My feeling about my own candidacy
tor the presidency is that if 1 can not
be the people s spokesman I don't want to
feel, if 1 am elected to the office of pres
ident, that I am speaking the purposes
and Impulses and judgment of the people
of the tnited States. We are not: we are
not politicians vy edo not live our lives
at the polls. We are interested in poli
tics only as it is a means of adjusting
the law to serve our life as it should be
served.
“I want to discuss the three parties I
now seeking your support 1 know there 1
are more than three parties in the Cnited
States, and it is not out of any disre
spect to the parties that have com
manded only a small number of votes In
the past that I leave them out of the
reckoning for the present.
Afraid of Man Who Doesn't Know.
“Let us consider, first, the Republican
party. There is a great deal of differ
ence between the Republican party and j
certain groups of gentlemen who have
been allowed to lead and direct the Re- I
publican party. The Republican party, as
represented by these men, Is the very
party which has got us into the difficulties '
we are now trying to get out of
"Mark you, 1 am not saying that the <
leaders of the party knew that they
were doing us an evil or that they in
tended to do us an evil. For my part, I
am very much more afraid of the man
who does a bad thing and does not know
it is bad than of the man who does a |
bad thing and knows it is bad, because 1 i
think that in public affairs stupidity
is more dangerous than knavery: because I
harder to fight and dislodge. These gen- I
tiemen. whatever may have been their in- i
tentions, linked the government of the
United States With the men who control
the big finances of the United States. •
They may have done it innocently, or they I
may have done it corruptly.
The Men He’s Interested In.
“The men 1 am Interested in are the I
men who never have their voices heard,
who never get a line in the newspapers, |
who never get a moment on the plat- i
form, who never have access to the ears :
of governors or of anybody who Is re
sponsible for the conduct of government,
but who go silently and patiently to their 1
work every day carrying the burden of |
the world. How are they to be under- \
stood by the masters of finance If only the
masters of finance are consulted'.’ The
masters of finance ought to be consulted, i
because, they are a part of the people I
of the United States, hut they ought to
be consulted only in proportion as they
are part of the people of the I nlted
States.
“There is a large body of Republicans
now in open rebellion. And what inter
ests me about them and draws me to
them is that they are in revolt because i
their consciences could not stand what :
was going on. That third party deserves 1
.your careful consideration when you are '
debating the question which party you
are going to support. I would be ashamed
of myself if 1 did not realize and admit
that some of the sober and finer forces
of this country are now devoted to the
promotion of this new movement and
i party. I have know n the insurgent Re
publicans a long time
"If this new party is preferred on the
fifth of November, will it be in a posi
tion to clear the decks and carry out the
I policy which many noble gentlemen have
conceived that It wa* sincerely bent upon?
Politics now at least is intensely prac
tical and real We can not afford to vote
on the sth of November and then wail
another four years. The process of re
form in this country must lake place
within tlie next four years. If the leader
of the third party is made president, what
will be his situation? Does anybodj sup
pose that he will have a third partt con
gress behind him" Is it not inevitable
that In such an event 'there will be In
congress such a mixture of elements and
groups and coteries that Jhe president
can not possibly get any program what
ever put through?
Queer Jumbles in Congress.
“IV e have had samples of the confusion
already. We already have a very queerly
assorted senate of the United States.
There are some Democrats, some Repub
licans and some ex-Republicans, and it
has been a gambler's chance whether they
would get together on anything or not.
It has been difficult to guess after a bill
passed the. house of representatives ex
actly what was going to happen to it
when it got into the senate, and the roll
call in the several votes has seldom
showed the same list of names
"Now. suppose you had a house of rep
resentatives mixed like the .present sen
ate? I think we could all go fishing for
tlie next two years! And if at the same
time you had a leader insistent upon cer
tain policies, I think the air would be
full of clamorous voices, but the statute
book would be very empty of fulfilled
promises.
"But the most certain impediment to
progress 1 have not yet spoken of. The
new party does not even propose to clear
the decks and set the government free
to act. The central proposal of its actual
program is to legalize monopoly Instead
of defeating, instead of reversing and
remedying the evil things that have been
done under the mistaken leadership of the
regular Republican leaders, it proposes
that the results of their mistakes shall be
legalized and made regular by being taken
under the direct supervision of the gov
ernment of the United States. Whatever
may be the philanthropic purpose of cer
tain parts of its propram, the inevitable
result of that particular proposal will be
to confirm by law the partnership be
tween great trusts and the Federal gov
ernment. I do not say that this Is what
the leaders of the new party expect or
propose, but merely that that is what will
happen, what must happen under such a
plan.
Only Democratic Party Left.
"Then you have only the Democratic
party left; and you will ask me how I
can set up a claim for the Democratic
party Well, in the first place, it is rath
er a fine discipline to have been on the
outside for sixteen years. You have in
trusted the government of the United
States to the Democratic party because
the Democratic party has been opposed
all these years to the things that the Re
publican leaders were doing Is not that
a statement of mere fact? Haven't we
been attacking them and opposing them
all these years, and proposing programs
that once looked radical and now’ look
reasonable? We haven't just begun being
progressive. We have been progressive
for sixteen years, and we saw the year
1912 half a generation before it came.
Are you going to give us no credit for
vision? Do you not think it counts for
something to stay out in the cold on a
conviction for sixteen years?
"The Democratic party is now. perhaps
for the first time in a generation, united,
solid and enthusiastic. And the Demo
cratic party is the only organized force
by which you can set your government
free. I was bred in a football college; I
know that what wins is teamwork; and
I want to tell you that we haye now got
a Democratic team, schooled in years of
adversity, that can hold together against
any team that can be put in the field, and
as compared with which some teams re
cently organized are only scrub teams.”
