Green, who is expected to succeed T. L. Hond as a member of the Park Board, to day strongly advocated more arid bet ter playgrounds for Atlanta children, i “’1 don't know anything Atlanta needs worse than playgrounds ahd more parks',” said Mr. Green. “If we had more places for the children to. play and romp, I am sure the number 1 of people leaving the city in the sum mer time .would be greatly diminished “We want to get the women started in this movement, for they are the ones most vitally interested. 1 think a good plan would be to have the city purchase suitable sites and then in a large measure turn them over to the women in the various wards to be beautified. Let each woman donate a tree, a rose bush or some flower to be placed in the park, which would tend to create a personal interest, and let the city and *he Park Board co-oper ate with them in every possible way. The Park Board could offer a cup or some kind of tropny to be presented to the ward making the greatest im provement in its park. We arc rushing ahead in business, putting up many handsome buildings and leading the South in everything except providing ample amusement for the children of the city.” Two year* in the chaingung and 60 day* in the city stockade is the sen tence faced to-day by Earl Zuber. a youthful soda vender, of Carey Park, who broke a pop bottle over a fan’s head at Ponce DeLeon Thursday, and Friday afternoon pounded Policeman George Cornett in the crowded court room because he didn’t like the sen tence Recorder Broyles had imposed on him. Zuber. with 60 days on the* city workf given him by the Recorder as a result of his two offenses, was ar raigned before Judge A. Calhoun , in City Criminal Court on two charge* of assault and battery and was given $160 fine or a year in each case. ‘‘You seem to be out after a reputa tion a bad man early in life, Zu ber,” said Judge Calhoun, as he im posed sentence. “From the testimony here. T would consider you a menace to society.” The youth, still a little defiant in his attitude. received the court’s words calmly and intimated that he would have to serve his time, as he was without funds to pay the fine. According to the testimony given at the Recorder’s court. Zuber, peeved because Charles Promenenschkle. a fan. did not move quickly enough when the boy tried to climb through the bleachers, struck him on the head with a bottle, cutting him severely.

It is only natural that the sim plest of ailments should be the most general, and so we have a whole nation suffering from con stipation and indigestion, for they are closely allied. But common as constipation is many people do not seem to know’ they have it. They will complain of headache, drowsi ness or biliousness, all unconscious of the cause of the trouble. You should have a full and free movement at least once a day. If you pass a day you are constipated, and - the result will be that you will catch a cold easily or have a more serious ailment. To cure the constipation and forestall still graver trouble take K & dose of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at night before retiring and by morning re lief will come, without disturbance from sleep or any inconvenience. Legions of people-use it regular ly in such emergencies, some of them formerly chronic invalids who have suffered from constipation all their lives. Mr. A. B. Danner. 326 Riley St., Harrisburg, Pa., says: “Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant relief from stom ach and bowel trouble. I now eat anything I want and sleep well.” Many others will tell you that they have tried most things recommend ed for this purpose but have found Syrup Pepsin the only one always reliable. A bottle can be obtained at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar, the latter sire being Atlantans Speak At Laymen’s Meet Makes it Cross, Peevish, Rest less and Feverish—If Tongue Is Coated Give "Syrup of Figs."
