FORREST ADAIR TO CRY
DOLLS FOR XMAS FUND
FORREST ADAIR.
Mayor Woodward declared
Wednesday that the burning of
the magnificent Winecoff home
in Ansley Park showed clearly
that section of the city must have
a fire engine house and that he
. would drudge an appropriation
for one before the Finance Com
mittee in January.
Not only does that section
need a fire engine house, but it
is without fire alarm boxes, de
spite thefffact that the new fire
alarm system is said to be com
plete,” said Mayor Woodward.
"We need a Are station in that sec
tion and one out in the western sec
tion of the city as soon as they can
possibly be built. Lots already have
« been purchased and one or ’more of
these stations must be built next year.
"Other sections are urging fire en
gine houses, but these must be built
first."
Humphrey to Lead Fight.
Mayor Woodward said he read the
editorial in The Georgian urging an
engine house and equipment at once
and that the appeal struck the right
note.
Councilman W. G. Humphrey, of
the Eighth Ward, and chairman of
the Finance Committee, insisted the
first of the year that an appropriation
be made for a station in that section
of the Eighth Ward. In the switching
of appropriations, however, only
enough money to buy a lot was left
in the budget. Councilman Humphrey
will lead a fight next year for the
new station.
Protests from citizens of that sec
tion. where many of the most beau
tiful residences in the South are lo
cated, that for a house to catch fire
meant that it would be destroyed be
cause of lack of protection, have been
of little avail in getting action from
Council.
Now that a $100,000 home lias gone
up in smoke as a sacrifice, the sta
tion is likely to be built within a
short time.
Citizens Are Aroused.
Th* residents are so aroused over
what they consider discrimination
against them that they are ready to
go before the Council Finance Com
mittee in a body and insist on a new
station.
Also they will demand that fire
alarm boxes be placed over the area
as soon as possible.
Other beautiful homes have been
consumed by fire, just as the Wine
coff home was, before the firemen
ever reached the scene. Men from
the Norih avenue station, the near
est one to that section, said that the
flames had burst through the top of
the Winecoff home before they cams
in sight of it. They had to make a
run of about fifteen \ locks. When
they got ‘here, there was not enough
men and equipment to check the
flames.
Macon Is Likely to Mrs. Bryan Calls Off
Abolish Old Market Cabinet Social Strike
MACON, Dec, 10.—One of Macon's
landmarks, the market house on Pop
lar street, likely will be abolished be
fore the end of next year. City
(’ouncil voted last night to ask t>*e
Legislature for permission to call in
the market house bonds and demolish
the structure.
This action was taken in pursuance
to a petition signed by hundreds of
citizens who claim the market house
idea is antiquated and useless.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—The social
strike of Congressional women against
the Cabinet women because of the re
port that Cabinet lead-rs would not
return Congressional calls ended when
Mrs. W. J. Bryan, for the Cabinet worn*
en. gave out a statement that the calls
would be returned. %
The announcement followed a sug
gestion that Senatorial wives would pre
cede Cabinet women at social functions.
Queen Censors King’s
Women Entertainers
LONDON. Dec 10.—The Duchess of
Devonshire is downcast at the prospect
of the visit of the King and Queen at
Chatsworth.
“The program, which promises to be a
very dull affair, has several times been
revised by Queen Mary. She has cen
sored Mrs. Hope White’® evening of
palmistry and legerdemain and several
other proposed entertainments because
she was afraid the King would be
brought in contact with certain women
to whom she objects.
Loud Bell Annoys
Town's Old Rival
MILLER, S. DAK.. Dec. 10—After ear
nest rivalry for more than 30 years be
tween this town and St. Lawrence, the
latter place has finally "put one over”
on Miller.
In placing a bell in their new school
house, the St. Lawrence people got one
that rings so loudly that it easily can
he heard in Miller. When the air is
right the sound from that bell almost
drowns the tones of the local bell.
UPSET STOMACH, COSTIVE, BILIOUS,
EMETS TO-NIGHT—DIME i BOX
Auction To Be Feature of the
Big All-Star Benefit at the
Atlanta Theater Friday.
That awful sourness, belching of acid
and foql gases; that pain in the pit of
the stomach, the heartburn, nervous
ness, nausea, bloating after eating, feed
ing of fullness, dizziness and sick head
ache, means your stomach is sour -your
liver is torpid—your bowels constipated.
It isn’t youc. stomach’s fault—it isn t
indigestion—it’s biliousness and consti
pation. Try Cascarets; they sweeten
the stomach, remove the sour, ferment
ing food and foul gases; take bile from
the liver and carry off the constipated
waste matter from the bowels. Then
your stomach trouble is ended. A Cas-
caret to-night straightens you out by
morning.
tASCARETS WORK WHILE YOU SLEEP.

Ever go to a doll auction? x
It’s great fun—especially If a good
auctioneer is on the block, and more
particularly If the dolls have been
dressed by leading society women,
and wear tags telling who their
modistes were.
And best of all, if the doll auction
is for the Empty Stocking Fund, like
that to be held next Friday at the
Star Matinee In the Atlanta The
ater.
Forrest Adair is 1 do the auction
ing, and you business men who im
agine you have heard him in great
form (and you probably have) while
spurring the bidding on a big bit of
real estate—well, you’d better be at
the Atlanta Theater promptly at 2:30
o’clock Friday afternoon.
Splendid Show, Too.
Besides, your wife probably will
have dressed one doll or several dolls,
and your friends’ wives will have
dressed some of the dolls, and near
ly all of you will have to buy a doll
or two, anyway, and it all works
around into a tine thing for you, Mr.
Business Man, to be there and buy
a doll or two, and hear a lively auc
tion, and see a corking good show.
Good show? Well, somewhat!
Here's the bill :r ”-rt:
Australian Boy Scouts, the most
remarkable kids in the way of wood
craft and camping and drilling the
world has ever s,een.
Thomas Wallace, tenor, and Bayne
Young, baritone, soloists with the
famous Ellery Band, accompanied by
Ellery himself.
Yvette to Appear.
Yvette, violin virtuoso, headliner at
the Forsyth Theater.
Auriema, the sensation of the
movies.
House and Francis, crack tumbling
team from the Atlanta Athletic Club.
And a lot of others.
And last, and finally, the big act
from "Fine Feathers,” with Robert
Edeson, Wilton Lackaye. Max Fig-
man, Lolita Robertson, Rose Cogh-
lan and Lydia Dickson in the star
roles—a cast that In vaudeville would
cost many thousands a week.
Now, if you think that's SOME
MATINEE, take a look at the prices
—and remember you may reserve
seats by telephone, calling Ivy 595.
Here are the prices:
It’s a Real Bargain.
Every seat downstairs, $1.
Balcony seats, 50 cents.
Gallery seats, 25 cents.
Which likewise a^e SOME PRICES
for a show exhibiting these creme
de la creme characteristics.
So there we are. with a great
chance to have a bully time, and buy
that Christmas doll dressed as no
store-doll ever was dressed, and see
a pippin of a. show—AND SWELL
THE EMPTY STOCKING FUND.
This might possibly be called kill
ing four birds with the same hunk of
Irish confftti. Which is just abiut
doubling the prescription of the Moss
Covered Adage.

of the more elderly delegates w’ere
forced to retire to the interior of the
Capitol to keep warm.

Saloon League, introduced Senator
Sheppard of Texas, who said:
"On behalf of Representative Hob
son and myself I accept the honor of
introducing into both houses of Con
gress a bill for nation-wide prohibi
tion as a sacred trust. I am and al
ways have been a foe of the liquor
traffic.”
Representative Hobson did/ not
speak on account of a cold.
Declaring that the liquor traffic in
“prohibition States” is continuing
with almost the same intensity as be
fore the legislation against it, former
Governor Patterson of Tennessee d »-
manded national action against the
liquor evil
Takes Up Fight.
Mrs. Armor, the last speaker, de
clared that the W. C, T. U. "intends
to keep up the fight against saloons
until every one in Ihe country is
wiped out of ♦■xistence."
The 2,000 shivering men and wom
en then made a rush for the nearest

erief, the ’"lovers," fell to the stage
Moor as the shots rung out, the former
with a bullet in a leg and the latter
with one in a foot.
Miss Margaret Tucker, leading
woman, was saved from being shot
by her wealth of hair. A bullet burn
ed her scalp.
