DANGEROUS CALOMEL
GG.NG OUT OF USE
A Safer. More Reliable Remedy H a s
Taken Its Place in the Drug
Store and in the Home.
A few years ago. men, women and
children took calomel for a sluggish
liver and for constipation. They took
risks when they did so, for calomel is
a dangerous drug. Your famllj’ doctor
will be the first to tell you this if he
’discovers you dosing yourself with cal.
omel. '
But the drug trade has found a safer,
more pleasant remedy than calomel in
Dodson’s Liver Tone.
Atlanta druggists tell us that their
drug stores son Dodson's Liver Tone
in practically every ease of bilious
ness and liver trouble where calomel
used to be taken.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
liver tonic that is absolutely harmless
for children and grown people. It sells
for 50 cts. a bottle and is guaranteed to
be entirely satisfactory by all Atlanta
druggists, who will refund your money
with a smile if ft does not give quick,
gentle relief without any of calomel’s
unpleasant after-effects.

MISS MR NOT
ILL, SMS FRIEND
Has Been in Sanitarium, But
Has Recovered and Will
Sing in Opera Soon.
By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER.
LONDON, Sept. 16.—What are the facts
concerning Geraldine Farrar? For some
weeks past wild stories been cur
rent. In Paris and Milan the popular
prima donna was reported to be so ill
that there was little or no hope of saving
her. The announcement that she had
been under treatment is a Munich sanita
rium seemed to give substance to this tale.
M hen it became known that she had can
celled all engagements for her projected
concert tour her friends, of course, sup
posed her case was desperate.
‘ I have learned, however, from an im
portant employe of the Metropolitan that
Miss Farrar had recovered.
“I saw Miss Farrar only a few days ago
in Munich,” said my informant. “She
was then living at the Hotel De Russie
and looked bright and well. Tt is a fact
that she was lately in a sanitarium, and
at her doctor’s advice, some weeks ago.
she t cancelled her concert engagements,
but she assured me she was now in per
fect health and there appears to be no
doubt that she will be able to appear on
the second night of the approaching opera
season; not in New York, but possibly in
New Haven.”
Tn confirmation of his optimistic state
ments, my informant pointed out that
Miss Farrar’s mother had arrived in
Paris.
”Is it likely.” he concluded, “that she
would leave her daughter’s side if the
reports you mention were justified?”
On the other hand, about a week ago
an artist who till lately would have been
generally accepted as an authority gave
quite alarming news about Miss Farrar
to one of the most influential persons con
nected with grand opera in America. The
truth may lie between the two extremes.
PAY FOR SOLDIERS
IS LONG OVERDUE;
ARMY FLAT BROKE
If regular soldiers had a vote the per
son or persons responsible for adjourning
congress before the army pay appropria
tion was signed and sealed would feel the
wrath of Uncle Sam’s defenders from
Seattle to Key West. For the soldiers
have not received their pay for some time
since it was due, and the army is flat
broke
“There isn’t enough coin in the Sev.
enteenth to start a penny crap game,”
protested one private from the post today.
“We got a crackerjack baseball team,
too, but what's the use of baseball when
you've got nothin' to bet? We got one
satisfaction. The next game’s with the
team out at the Federal pen and them
guys are worse broke than us.”
Business firms catering to the especial
demands of the soldiery are feeling the
lack of government coin, too. But they
are ’ consoling themselves with the hope
that when the pay does come it will ar
rive in a bunch. And the night after the
paymaster shows up will be SOME
night.

AGRICULTURE. BEING
REVIVED IN GEORGIA,
SAYS DR. A. M. SOULE
ATHENS, GA.. Sept. 16—The Geor
gia College of Agriculture will open on
September 18. with the assurance of the
largest attendance in its history, in
spite of the fact that last year showed
an increase of 43 per cent over the
previous one.
Dr. A. M. Soule, president, has just
arrived from Detroit, where he ad
dressed the annual meeting of the
American Bankers association by invi
tation. Dr. Soule says that there is
abundance of evidence that the state of
Georgia is undergoing a revival in ag
riculture. This is attested by the at
tendance of the farmers institutes, the
large number enrolled in the corn and
tomato clubs, the thousands of inqui
ries coming to the college for informa
tion about better grades of stock, about
how to grow other groups than cotton
and corn, and about modern methods in
various lines, and also by the report of
success from those leading the way in
agricultural advancement.
Plans are being launched for cover
ing the state with institutes for uni
versity extension work in various lines
to reach more farmers than ever be
fore.

WITH DELICIOUS “SYRUP OF FIBS”
Removes the sour bile, gases and clogged-up waste
without gripe or nausea. No headache, indiges
tion, constipation, biliousness or coated tongue.
Foul breath, coated tongue, dull,
throbbing headache, stomach sour and
full of gases, indigestion, biliousness
and a sallow complexion, mean that
your thirty feet of bowels are clogged
with waste matter; that these drain
age organs of the body are obstructed;
liver stagnant and stomach full of
poisonous gases, sour bile and undi
gested fermenting food not properly
carried off.
Most of our ills are caused by const!,
pated bowels. We all need a laxative
sometimes; nobody can doubt that. The
only question is: Which one is the
best? and that isn’t a question any
more. Syrup of Figs, being composed
entirely of luscious figs, senna and aro
matics, must act in a harmless, gentle
and natural way. Syrup of Figs can
constantly used without injury. Its

“Fiddler” Has Been Perfectly
Good Dog. But Surgeon Fears
Fet May Have Rabies.
It's lonesome on the reservation at
Fort McPherson these days. The reg
iment Is all there, and there's plenty of
baseball, but Fiddler and his friends
are all in close confinement.
Fiddler is the regimental mascot and
has been for twelve years. He is a
brown dog with a tail that never stops
wagging, and he is the best chum of
every man and child on the reserva- |
tion. He is really the property of Ser- |
geant Miller, an old Indian fighter, who
picked Fiddler up in Cuba years ago.
But every man at the post is his
friend.
No: it isn't Fiddler's fault that he is
locked up like a refractory private. It's
because a certain mongrel pup went
mad and chewed the fingers of ten
soldiers a few weeks ago and the sur
geon thinks perhaps the pup bit all the
other dogs before his head was ampu
tated. So Fiddler and all the rest of
the four-legged pets of the post are
held to see what will happen. They
don't like it, as the chorus of doleful
howls informs every one within ear
shot of the post.
There are lots of dogs, company
mascots and private pets, at the post,
but Fiddler is the favorite. He en
listed in Cuba, has been to the Philip
pines, the Texas border, back to Cuba
and to Washington and home again. In
fact, wherever the Seventeenth goes
there goes Fiddler. He is getting ad
vanced in age, but he isn’t too old to
mascot successfully. And when Fid
dler answers the last roll call there'll
be a funeral at the post which even a
colonel might envy.
action is the action of fruit—of eating
coarse food—of taking exercise. It is
a true and effective ijypr and bowel

Most folks dread physic!—they shrink
.from the taste and after effects. Syrup
of Figs is delicious, and. besides, you
don’t realize you have taken anything
until morning, when all the clogged up
waste of the system is gently but thor
otighly moved on and out of the bowels
without griping or weakness.
Ask your druggist for the full name.
“Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.”
This is the old reliable and only gen
uine. Refuse, with contempt, any oth
er Fig Syrup recommended as good.
They are imitations meant to deceive
you. Read the label carefully and look
for the name California Fig Syrup

This FulPGrown Juvenile Department
Third Floor
Is Ready With Whatever Is NEW for Misses
And Children
The Juvenile Department shows as one with authority the
new styles in suits, in dresses and in coats.
It shows these things with the authority that comes of expe
rience, of knowledge, of good tatse, of specialized effort.
Young folk are its only thought.
A mother with an only daughter could not be more painstak
ing in her selection than we have been with the hundreds and hun
dreds of suits and dresses and coats that makeup this fall stock.
We mention this not in the spirit of boasting, but that moth
ers may get some idea of the real help that the Juvenile Depart
ment can be to her this fall. We mean those mothers who wish
to dress their daughters with some smartness, some individu
ality--with some thought.
And right now the Juvenile Department is spendidly and
beautifully ready to meet the demands of such mothers. There
is newness and freshness on every side; styles that accentuate
youthful lines, colorings that glorify bright eyes and lovely faces,
serviceable, dependable materials that presage winter comfort
and satisfaction—-in suits, in dresses, in coats for school and
every day wear and for those occasions when you and daughter
both want something a little different.
But these are only generalities, the spirit, the atmosphere
of the Juvenile Department- We must call your particular at
tention to the
Display of Junior Suits
Never has young Miss Atlanta had such flattering attention
paid to her and to her alone. It is as if her suit were the only
consideration of one great, big store. And it draws no line, ex
cept that of good taste and accepted style, as to what her suit
shall be.
Here are the plain and very serviceable blue serges, the beau
ty of which lies in the fashioning and the tailoring, here are the
“roughish” materials often made into jaunty Norfolks, the more
dressy Bedford cords and velvets and corduroys. One unusual
suit of blue Bedford cord. It has the Robespierre collar and
sash. The coat is belted in EFFECT but not in reality. The but
tons are crystal, the buttonholes—it buttons to the side—are
finished in green, an attractive color combination. The skirt,
otherwise plain, has a wide bias fold of self material.
A corded velvet suit of distinction is in the new taupe
shade. It shows the cutaway coat modified for Misses’ wear.
Ihe back is belted, the long revers and the cuffs are trimmed
with black satin and finished with white braid, the skirt has a
cluster of plaits at the sides.
But your visit to the Third Floor will show you two hun
dred instead of two worthy of special notice.
