Nasty Drug Salivates, Makes
You Sick and You Lose a
Day’s Work.
Every druggls? in town—your drug
gist and everybody’s druggist—has
noticed a great falling off in the sale
of calomel. They all give the same
reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone is tak
ing its place.
"Calomel is dangerous, and people
know it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better re
sults,”- said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist who
cells it. A large bottle costs 50 cents,
and if it fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness and
constipation you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant-
tasting, purely vegetable Remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache. acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio
lent calomel. Take a dose of calomel
to-day and to-morrow you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated. Don’t lose
a day’s work! Take Dodson’s Liver
Tone instead, and feel fine, full of
vigor and ambition.—Advertisement.

NEW YORK, April The J. B.
Greenhut Company, dry goods house,
was placed in the hands of receivers
to-day, when Walter C. Noyes and
William A. Marble were appointed by
Federal Judge Hand. The bill of
complaint was brought by the Mon
mouth Securities Company. The com
pany consented to the receivership.
The bonds of the receivers were fixed
at $100,000 each.
In complaint the Monmouth Se
curities Company states that it is a
creditor to the amount of over $200,-
000. Rose & Paskus, attorneys 'or
the Greenhut Company, filed the con
sent of the oompany to the receiver
ship.
The complaint sets forth that the
assets of the company are $7,466,419
and liabilities $3,513,060, exclusive of
underlying mortgages. There are two
mortgages on the company’s build
ings. one for $1,750,000 and the other
for $1,200,000.
Samuel S. Meyers, attorney for
about 100 creditors, said their claims
aggregated between $500,000 and
$1,000,000. He stated that the la
bilities of the company would be $12 - I
000,000, with assets of $6,000,000, ex- .
elusive of real estate.
Benjamin J. Paskus, of Rose «fe Pas- I
kus, representing the Greenhut com- i
pany. said that unquesiionably the
business of the company would reor
ganize and continue. He said the to
tal liabilities were about $3,500,000, |
and that the company had outstand
ing $6,000,000 in bonds. He pointed •
out that the company’s liabilities were!
covered by quick assets of $4,000,000, j
including merchandise and other ac
counts outstanding.
A bank formerly operated by the
company had been virtually liqui
dated, probably about $5,000,000 hav
ing been paid out last year. The bonds
outstanding are held by the public in
this country and abroad and by banks.
It is estimated that banks are in
terested to the amount of $300,000.
It is estimated that the company
did a business last year of $13,000,000
The J. B. Greenhut Company was
Incorporated under the laws of the
State of New York November 6. 1910
[ The company was a consolidation of
Greenhut & Co. and the Siegel-Coop-
er Company. The name of the con
solidated company originally was the
Greenhut-Siegel-Cooper Company,
but the name was changed to the
present title in May. 1914. The com
pany had an outstanding issue of
$6,000,000 capital stock and $6,000,000

Corra Harris, Writer,
Is to Lecture Here
Corra Harris, known and loved by
her fellow Georgians as a writer of
the keenest insight into the customs
and foibles of her own people and of
mankind in general. Is to make her
bow this summer as a lecturer. And,
as it should be, she will appear for
the first time in Atlanta, among her
friends.
Mrs. Helen C. Plane, honorary
president of the United Daughters of
| the Confederacy, asked Mrs. Harris,
in behalf of Atlanta Chapter, U. D. C.,
to talk in Atlanta. It is likely that
! the talk will concern impressions of
• the European war, which Mrs. Harris
viewed as one of the few women war
correspondents. At present Mrs. Har.
j ris is at her secluded home, "The
Pines.” near Pine Log, working on
stories whicn will keep her busy for
two months. It is after that time that
the projected lecture will be given.
Saturday’s the day!
If you haven’t done your spring
clean-up work yet, better prepare to
do it then, for you’ll have lots of
company. Saturday is the day all At
lanta—spurred on by the Governor, the
city officials and the various women’s
clubs of the city—will tidy up the
back yards and alleys and put the
city in spick and span shape for opera
week.
Of course, the idea of a city beauti
ful for opera week is tfie proclaimed
purpose of the clean-up campaign,
but another and just as good aim is
to have a sanitary city with the ar
rival of the hot weather, when dis
ease germs thrive in the refuse often
allowed to accumulate in the back
yards.
The city Sanitary Department is
aiding nobly in the clean-up work. All
you have to do to get their help is
to call up and ask that a wagon be
sent around to get the trash you have
raked up. John Jentzen, chief of the
Sanitary Department, said Friday
that he w r as getting many such calls,
but that he welcomed them and ev
ery one would be attended to properly
if the householders will just give him
time. So if you call and don’t get ac
tion right off the bat. don’t become
peeved or discouraged. The wagon
will get around to you just as soon
as possible. You can count on it com
ing, sure.
So let’s all get together Saturday
and give the old town such a scouring
as she never has had. It will mean a
more beautiful city and what is just
as important—even more so—a san
itary city and clean, healthful yards
for the children to play in during the
torrid weather.
‘Pepper to Put
New‘Pep in
Ad Men
"The object of Pepper." announced
Pepper, upon making its bow Friday,
"is to inject a little spice into the ac
tivities of the Atlanta Ad Men’s Club."
Which sterns to be mixing things up
a bit, but isn’t. Pepper is just what
it says it is, a publication to speed up
and properly exploit the achieve
ments, ideals and ultimate goal of the
Ad Men. Its first number came Fri
day, with the announcement that Jo
seph H. Atchison, chairman of the
club’s protection committee, is editor.
Among the contents of the initial
number is the interesting announce
ment that Elbert Hubbard, the Sage
of East Aurora, is coming soon to ad
dress the club. There is a history of
the life and works of the Atlanta Ad j
Men’s Club, a discussion of the club's J
new educational committee and per
sonal quips and jests that are calcu
lated to result in laughs or fights.
Here is a sample, told about Julian
Boehm, vice president of the club:
"J.—I want 10 cents worth of vase
line.”
"Drug Clerk—Do you want it scent
ed?
"J.—No, sir; I’ll take It with me.”
of the eleven State agricultural
schools was sent out Friday by order
of Governor Slaton, who signed the
treasury warrants authorizing the
payment.
Rev. R. E. Woodson
Quits Church Here
Announcement Friday that the Rev.
R. E. Woodson, pastor of the Fortified
Hills Baptist Church, had tendered his
resignation came as a surprise to his
many Atlanta friends.
Dr. Woodson has extensive busi
ness interests in Florida and as these
demand his personal attention he will
go there. Dr. Woodson’s successor has
not been chosen yet.

T
Manufacturers To Be Heard in
Government Suit Against Corn
Products Refining Company.
Important testimony in the Gov
ernment’s anti-trust suit against the
Corn Products Refining Company,
mammoth corporajlon formerly con
trolling the glucose industry of the
United States, will be taken Monday
morning at 9 o’clock in room No. 338
of the Federal Building, by Rowland
W. Phillips, of Washington, special
examiner appointed by the Depart
ment of Justice. The witnesses will
be D. R. Wilder, head of the D. R.
Wilder (Syrup) Manufacturing Com
pany; W. J. Peabody, secretary;
Brooks Morgan, vice president of the
Frank E. Block Company, manufac
turers of candies; J. I). Blakeley and
I Homer S. Prater, of Atlanta, and P. J.
Williams, of Columbus.
The Government will seek to show
that the corporation adopted trust
methods in keeping down competition
in Georgia, one of the methods being
to inaugurate a profit-sharing or re
bate system. The Wilder Company,
desiring to quit the connection, de
ducted its rebate. $2,200, from a bill,
according to their contention. The
glucose company refused to accept
the settlement and went to court. It
won in the lower courts and finally in
the United States Supreme Court.
A point made by the Wilder Com
pany was that the refining company
( was violating the anti-trust law and
'could not collect, but the court took a
different view.
The action by the Federal Govern
ment follows that suit closely and it is
understood Mr. Wilders testimony
will be given considerable attention.
That concern started patronizing the
American Maize Products Company, a
competitor of the Corn Products Re
fining Company, as did others. The
corn concern is reported to be con
trolled by men who control the Stan
dard Oil Company, and the maize
concern by men who control the Royal
Baking Powder Company.
Attorney Marion Smith represented
Mr. Wilder in the litigation and At
torney James W. Austin represents
the alleged trust.
DarkV/edding
Just Comes
to Light
Mr. and Mrs. Elijah G. Whitaker,
of Oakland City, left Atlanta early
Friday for a wedding trip. Out in
Oakland City there was hardly any
body who knew there wus a Mrs.
Whitaker or that there had been a
wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Whitaker, you
will admit, are clever.
Thursday Mrs. Whitaker wag mere
ly Miss Kate Lou Hmith. very much
In love. She and her affianced, who
is a druggist in Oakland City, felt
that the fuss and feathers of a wed
ding according to Hoyle would be too
much of a bother, and that their
friends might prove too gay and jest
ful, and that it was their own affair,
anyhow.
So they decided to pilot the good
ship Romance into uncharted waters,
and signed up Dr. A. C. Ward, of the
Oakland City Baptist Church, to help
them. The young druggist and Miss
Smith went for a stroll Thursday
night about 10 o’clock. In the shad
ows of the church door waited Dr.
Ward. In Mr. Whitaker's pockets
were the ring and the license. They
slipped into the dark church togeth«
er, the three of them.
Other people were passing, and the
couple wanted to keep it a real secret.
No lights were lighted, and with only
the glimmer of a fitful street light
through the window to guide thorn,
the ceremony wag said.
And until they read this there are
a great many people in Oakland City
who won't know anything about It.
Itchy Salt Rheum
Sometimes Called Eczema—Removed by
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Salt rheum is one or the worst and
unfortunately one of the most common
of all diseases. How it reddens the
skin, itches, oozes, dries and scales, and
then does this all over again! Some
times It covers the whole body with in
flamed. burning patches and causes in
tense suffering, which is commonly
WOrM at night.
Local applications may do some good,
but they can not permanently relieve.
The disease will continue to annoy, pain
and perhaps agonize, until the blood
has been purified and the general hefclth
improved.
Ask your druggist for Hood’s Sar
saparilla, the good, old, reliable family
remedy. It has given perfect satisfac
tion in thousands of cases. Insist, on
having Hood's Sarsaparilla, <or no sub
stitute acts like it. Get it to-day.—Ad
vertisement.
