the Chamber of commerce Industrial

degree on all subjects pertaining to
the first heat of the excursion -until
the aald excursion got as far as the
Atlanta Steel Works. From then on
he is as silent us the proverbial

greatest desires Houser has ever
had has been to see somebody mak

portunity before the Industrial ex
cursion took in the steel plant. "So
when the crowd detrained to inspect
the steel works, Houser hied himself
to the nail department, where he
gloated so long and enthusiastically
that he was still gloating when the
train pulled out — without

“Another fad causing shame arid

Is marvelous to us.

USE OF CALOMEL

W. H. Leahy, secretary of the In

Dangerous Drug Giving Way for Safer,
More Reliable Remedy.
Hundreds of people In this vicinity
alone have stopped tiie use of dangei
our calomel when their liver is acting
»iowl\. and take Dodson's Liver Tone
Instead
jp&odsun s Liver 'Tone Is always safe
and has none of the had after effects
which so often follow the use of calo
mel. It Is a pleasant-tasting vegeta
Me liquid that, starts the liver gently
and surely, and relieves constipation and
biliousness and causes no restriction of
habit or diet.
Many preparations have sprung up
that imitate the claims made for Dod
son's Liver Tone, but remember Dod
son's Liver Tone is the tried and tested
remedy that has proven such a good
medicine and is so satisfactory to every
user is tiie reason these imitations are
on the market
Dodson's Liver 'Pone can not hurt
anyone and if it fells to do all that is
claimed for It all druggists who sell it

Billy Quarles, who I* one of the
high-class employees of the Fain &
Stamps Wholesale Grocery Company,
never drinks a drop of anything
stronger than coffee, and the other
night when the firm’ij employees had
a banquet at the Piedmont, his pro-
hlbltionistlc tendencies were paid
marked tribute. They gave him a
baby bottle full of milk, with instruc
tions to go away off by himself and
get "soused.” But William fooled
them all. He’s got a young son out
at his house who Just dotes on milk,
and few of his fellow employees
knew anything about the youngster.
So instead of being real devilish and
getting on a “milk Jag.” he took the
bottle home and let “George do it.”

Crowds gathered about the stage
entrance *o the Atlanta Theater Mon
day to witness one of the wonders of
stagecraft—the preparations for the
production of “Ben Hur,” which
opens Monday night for one week.
Motors, gearing, tackle, huge cylin
drical structures and endless rolls of
can van were visible on all sides, with
a score of workmen hurrying to and
fro under the guidance of a master
mechanic.
The most intricate mechanism Is
that used in the chariot race, when
twelve horses race madly before the
eyes of the audience. The 111usi >n
requires a movable floor on the stage
whereon the animals gallop though
never change their positions, and a
cylindrical device upon which 3,000
square feet of canvas depicting the
amphitheater unfolds at the rear with
lightning rapidity to bear out the rac
decrease of about $11,
