A great many people have tried rhe 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 Postuni prepared suitably at ho
tels and elsewhere, they gave it up and went back to coffee, thinking. “Now 1 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, they found it difficult to return to
Wellvi]l e .
Now comes
Instant Postum

Instant Postum is in powder form—made from regular Postum and contains
Ute 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

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 more than was for the
good of the poultry industry in the
city and in the 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 annual 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.TLESDAY
try show business as a side line for
nine years. He is knowm 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 only 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
■quirefi io 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
s i/c cess.
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 bat a good,
straight poultry show', w’ith 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 wmuld have been possi
ble to sacrifice "quality judging’’ for
•quantity judging” and to have secured
more men. But 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 prize* this year will be particu
larly numerous 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.
WILSON IN LINE
FOR PURE FOOD
Governor Also Attacks Tariff
Again in Series of Speeches
in New York.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10. —11 was a
I busy day for Governor Woodrow Wil
| son. The Democratic presidential nom
inee attended a pure food conference
at the Colon) club, the most exclusive
Womens organization in New York,
where he delivered a speech promising
to make pure food a live campaign is
sue; opened the Democratic tariff ex
hibition at 19 Union square with a
speech on the tariff; delivered another
address on the same subject in the open
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 be
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 Piess club address the gov
ernor assailed the Republican party,
and remarked the impotency of the
new Progressive party.
Spokesman for the People.
The governor said, in part:
"1 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.
I am not one of those who believe that
the right tactics in politics is to depreciate
rhe 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 tn the
great field of our common action.
“My feeling about my own candidacy
for the presidency is that if I can not
be the people’s spokesman I don’t want to
feel, if I am elected to the office of pres
ident. that I am speaking the purposes
and impulses and judgment of the people
of the United States. We are not: we are
not politicians. We do 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
now seeking your support. I know there
are three parties in the United
States, 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 1 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 great deal of differ
ence between the Republican party and
certain groups of gentlemen who have
been allowed to lead and direct the Re
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, I am not saying that the 1
leaders of the party knew that they I
were doing us an evil or that they in- i
tended to do us an evil. For my part, 1 '
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
think that in public affairs stupidity
is more dangerous than knavery; because
harder to fight and dislodge These gen
tlemen, whatever may have been their In
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
may have done it corruptly
The Men He's Interested In.
“The men 1 am interested in ate the
men who never have their voices heard,
who never get a line in the newspapers,
who never get a moment on the plat
form, who never have access to the ears
of governors or of anybody who is re
sponsible for the conduct of government. I
but who go silently and patiently to their
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,
because they are a part of the people I
of the United States, but they ought to
be consulted only in proportion as they
are part of the people of the United
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
their consciences could not stand what
was going on. That third party deserves
your careful consideration when you are
debating the question which party you
are going to support. I would be ashamed
of myself if I 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
party. I have known 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 j
conceived that It was 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 wait
another four years. The process of re
form in this country must take place
within the next four years. If the leader
of the third party is made president, what
will be his situation? Does anybody sup
pose that he will have a third party con
gress behind him? Is it not inevitable
that in such-an event there will he In
congress such a mixture of elements and
. SEPTEMBER 10. 1912.
groups and coteries that the president
can not possibly get any program what
ever put through?
Queer Jumble# in Congress.
"We 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-Repubiicans, 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
rail in the several votes has seldom
showed the same list of names.
“Now. suppose you bad a bouse of rep
resentatives mixed like the present sen
ate? I think we could all go tishing for
the next two years! Ajid 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.
Rut the most certain impediment to
progress 1 have not yet spoken of. The
new partj 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 i>arty 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 yeas
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 patty 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. 1 was bred in a football college; I
Know that what wins i-s teamwork; and
I want to tell you that we have 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.’’
