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.

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. $10.
