Head of Movement Appeals to
Atlanta Patriotism — $41,000
Now Needed to End Work.
Captain James W. English, chair
man of the executive committee of
the Oglethorpe University movement,
gave out the following interview to
day, urging the importance to At
lanta and the South of this great en
terprise. and calling on all who In
tend helping it to send In their sub
scriptions this week:
"It must be admitted by all think
ing 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 cititcns 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 1250,000 may be closed this
week.
"The founding of Oglethorpe TTnl-
versity will be of Immense value ma-
Atlanta and this section The man
who subscribes to the movement is
helping to build Atlanta. He is con
tributing to a public cause, but at the
same 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 $500,000 will not be
enough for such a university. For
their benefit ? want to say that wo do
not expect to stop at $500,000. In my
opinion, Oglethorpe’s assets will be
increased to more than a million dol
lars within our own lifetime Other
educational institutions which are
now endowed with many millions had
their beginnings in more humble
ways financially than Oglethorpe will
have
Against competition which de
manded the services of a number of
the active committeemen, the work
ers for Oglethorpe University report
ed at the noonday luncheon to-day a
total of $4,037.50.
This brings the total fund yet to
be raised down to something less than
$41,000.
Approximately 30 of the commit
teemen reported, and despite the w r ork
yet to be done all of them were en
thusiastic and expressed a determi
nation to go at it with a view to
winding it up Saturday night.
L. P. Bottenfleld’s committee again
took the lead, excepting the central
committee, which reported a $1,000
subscription. Mr Bottenfleld’s com
mittee reported $877.f>0, and would
have gone $500 over that, but for
the fact that a signed curd for $500
brought in had already been reported.

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 the strain, get alug-
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from Die blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headache,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidney*.
The moment you fee! a dull ache in
the kidnays or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a -tnsation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad fcaltu from any pharmacy, take a
tablespoonful in a g ass of water before
breakfast and in a lew days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to neu
tralise the acids in urine .«<• it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weaaness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive and can not
injure, 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
ire. thereby avoiding serious kidney '
mplicatioafi.—Advt.
