ILL TO .1 OF
OGLETHORPE
Head of Movement Appeals to
Atlanta Patriotism — $41,000
Now Needed to End Work,
Captain Jamas W. English, chair
man of th* cxeoutlva committaa of
the Oglethorpe University movement,
gave out the following Interview to
day, urging the Importance to At
lanta and the F*nuth of this great en
terprise, and calling on all who in
tend helping It t" send In their sub
scriptions this week:
"It must he admitted hy all think-
in# people," he said, "that the erec
tion of this university will be of great
and far-reaching importance to At
lanta and the South.
"I feel that it is the duty of all our
Atlanta-loving citlrens to rally to the
work at this critical time and sub
scribe whatever they are able. In or
der that the movement to complete
Atlanta's $230,000 may be closed this
week.
•The founding of Oglethorpe Uni
versity will be of immense value mn-
Atlanta and this section The man
who subscribes to the movement is
helping to build Atlanta. He Is con
tributing to a publl ■ cause, but at the
-ame time he Is helping himself. It
is time we were directing more ef
fort toward making Atlanta a great
educational and intellectual center,
as well as a manufacturing and com
mercial one
"Some people have offered the ob
jection that $000,000 will not be
enough for such a university. For
their benefit 1 want to say that we do
not expect to stop at $500,000. In my
opinion, Oglethorpe's assets will he
increased to more than a million dol
lars within our own lifetime Other
iducationsl institutions which are
now endow eii with many millions had
their beginning.- in more humble
ways financially than Oglethorpe will
have
Against competition which de
manded the services of a number of
tile active committeemen, the work
ers for Oglethorpe University report
ed at the noonday luncheon to-day a
total of $-1,037.50.
This brings the total fund yet to
be raised down to something less than
$41,000.
Approximately 30 of the rommlt-
teemen reported, and despite the work
yet to be done all of them were en
thusiastic and expressed a determi
nation to go at it with a yiew to
winding it up Saturday night.
I, . 1' Bottenfleld's committee again
took the lead excepting the central
committee, which reported a $1,000
subscription. Mr Bottenfleld's com
mittee reported 1X77.50, and would
have gone $500 over that, but for
the fact that a signed card for $500
brought in had alreudy been reported.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
Take a Glass of Salts if Your
Back Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You.
No man or woman who eats meat reg
ularly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a well-
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they become
overworked from th* strain, get slug
gish am! fail to lilter the waste and
poisons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headache,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness a ml urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment. Irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation or scalding, stop
eating meat and get abotit four ounces
of Jad Saits from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. Thia famous salts
is made fr«.m the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with litnia. and
has been used for generations to flu-di
and stimulate the kidneys, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Saits ia inexpensive and can not
njure makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which every one
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.—Ad vt.
