THE A TLANTA GEORGIA.
HOW A FORMER ATLANTAN
AIDED STRICKEN 'FRISCO;
CITY IS BEING REBUILT
\ Macon, Ga., Oct. IS.—‘The high
price .of labor and building materials,
t together with .the uncertain value of
' land alnce the earthquake’and fire, la
now keeping <500,000,000 from being In
vented In San Franclaco."
This la the atatement made by Dr.
Jacob Voorsanger. one' of the moot
; prominent rabble In the United Statea,
who la In Macon from San Franclaco,
on a vlelt to hla daughter, Mre. E. A.
Waxelbaum.
It waa Dr. Vooraanger, within
, three houra after the earthquake waa
; actively Identlfled with the work of re
lief to the Injured and dying and It
. waa he who waa made chairman of
k the relief committee, when that or-
. ganlzatlnn had the problem of feeding
<00,000 homeleaa and deetltute people
dally. No man who lived through the
awful daya of the 'Friaco cataatrophe
. la better qualified to talk of the con-
. dltlona existing In the Qolden Gate
City today than Dr. Vooraanger.
<900,000,000 to Invest
“While the city,” aaya Dr. Vooraan
ger, “la now doing more bualneaa than
ever before In Ita hlatory and while
" there Is a large omount of building
, being done, the majority of the bust

eat prices, too. He aaya that as soon
aa rebuilding la decided upon generally,
there will r be work for 60,000- more
of the great city of the Pacific
■lope la being transacted In temporary
wooden shacks and Just when the
<500,000,000. which the people of the
i city, have to Invest In building will be
turned loose, cannot be determined un
til the three causes for the holding of
this money have been removed.
“At present the business center of
the city la removed to another section
and as a result land values along Van
Ness avenue, which was a residence
thoroughfare before the Are, have
Jumped from <500 a front foot to
<1,000 and even <2,000. Because of
thla and also because of the high
wages prevailing and the high price
of building materials, persons owning
land In the former business center of
the city hesitate about rebuilding per
manent structures. Of course some
have been rebuilt and others which
were only partially destroyed are be
ing repaired.
“Whether or not the section of the
city where high land values formerly
prevailed will again become the valu
able business center of the city Is a
question. But the fact that the ho
tels. banks and*newspapers are re
building on the old sites Is taken as
an Indication that these values will
again he high,"

Continuing. Dr. Vooraanger says
that even with these conditions exist
ing there Is plenty of work to be had
by mechanics and pork at the hlgh-
Dr.' Vooraanger' told of the scenes
Just, after the earthquake -while the
city was being '■ swept block by block
by the flames. Within three hours af
ter the earthquake had wrought Its
bavoc, a relief force had been thor
oughly organized with 1,000 trained
nurses and 500 doctors, assisted by
an automobile brigade. When this
work of rescuing the Imperilled and
taking care of the'Injured and dead
was finished, the committee of which
Dr. Vooraanger was chairman, waa
confronted with the problem of feed
Ing the <00,000 of homeless and how
well this was accomplished Is now
known over the world.
It will come as pleasant news
Georgia people to know that the street
railway company In San Francisco, of
which Hon. Pat Calhoun, a former At
lanta man. Is president, helped no lit
tle In getting things In a normal condl
lion.
Hauled Passengers Free.
“This company," said Dr. Vooraan
ger, “is deserving of the highest
praise and It was one of the factors
that helped no little In bringing the
city out of chaos. Within forty-eight
hours after the fire was controlled,
workmen of the company dug through
debris piled in the streets and the
general manager, himself took out the
first car over the streets of our
stricken city. And rapl.dly large gangs
of workmen repaired the broken wires
and twisted rails until within a re
markably short time the entire system
was In full operation.
“Then It was that the company
showed n patriotic and charitable
spirit. While thousands of sympathiz
ing Americans all over the United
States were contributing their share
to help the stricken people, the street
railway company did Its share. It did
this by carrying passengers free for a
week until people began to care for
themselves. It can be truthfully said
that this company helped wonderfully
In assisting the people.”
The beautiful synagogue over which
Dr. Voorsanger presided was ruined by
the fire and now plans have been com
pleted by the congregation for the
erection of a magnificent <500,000 syn
agogue.
Dr. Voorsanger will go to New Vork
from Macon, and after remaining there
n few days he will go abroad and will
be gone for several months. In recog
nition of his services to Snn Francisco
In the dark days, he was made, to
gether with General Fred Funston and
ex-Mayor James D. Phelan, an honor
ary member of the National Red Cross
Society.
$1,000,000 FIRE
AT ALTOONA, PA„
: EARLY ON FRIDAY
If — ,
% Altoona, Pa., Oct. 19.—Fire here thli
;* morning did damage estimated at $1,-
” 000,000.
54,600 Meals
Did Him No Good
How One Man Wasted 50 Years of His
Life. Thousand, Like Him.
“What's the use of ratin', anyhow?"
said the scrawny dyspeptic to hla ro
tund. prosperous-looking friend.
“Here I've been eatln’ three times n
day. and sometimes twice a day, for 50
years, and look at me. I'm rnwboned
and skinny, still at the bottom of the
ladder, sour on the world, and a pes
simist. I know It, and I can't help It.
If I had It to do over again, though,
I would take rare of my stomach, for
I don't believe I ever really relished a
meal In my life, not even mother's
Christmas dinners, and I firmly believe
that my way of eating, or whatever It
was, brought along with It darkness
and impossibility of success."
“Tou're right." nodded his compan
ion. “Of course, that Isn't always the
case. But In this age we must not only
'Trust In the Lord and keep our pow
der dry.' but we must swallow sunshine
with our food. Cheerfulness, especial
ly while eating, which Is the moat es
sential act of man. Is as necessary to
him as sunshine la to the flowers.
Nothing normal can be produced in
. darkness.
“But this Is what you haven't been
doing. Mr, Dyspeptic. Vour brain and
your stomach, remember, are twins,
and you have to treat them according
ly. Why not start now and repair the
damage you've done? It Is never too
late, you know."
“You mean at my age? And sup
pose you can't always get the sun
shine?"
"Absolutely, yea Science has made
it possible to get the sunshine, the
health and the strength that yuur
stomach needs, all put up together In
little tablets. They call them Hiuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, the most effective
tablets In the world for this very thing.
One Ingredient In these tablets digests
6,000 grains of food without the help
of the stomach. Two tublets after each
meal can do more work, quicker work
and better work. In digesting n heavy
meal, than the stomach can itself. The
stomach need not work at all. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets does nil the work,
. and gives your Jaded stomach a rest,
the rest It needs. Meanwhile you cure
yourself of brash. Irritation, burning
sensation, heartburn, sour stomach,
acidity, fermentation, blont, and the
worst cases of dyspepsia and Indiges
tion. You get rid of these for all time.
And then, besides, you ran eat all you
want and whenever you want, anil you
will also relish mother's Christmas din
ners If you will take Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets after eating. That's the
sunshine I was talking about. Then
your face will reflect the Internal
change going on, you'll be clearer, you
will have more confidence In yourself,
you'll be happier, and you'll be yourself
again.
“Your heart will change and you'll
feel rosy. You'll enjoy your meals—
and live. Let's walk down to the drug
store and let me Introduce you to one
little package of these Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. You can get them at
any drug store In the world for only
60c a package. It la worth It, Mr.
6 Dyspeptic."

BULLOCH'S FAIR EXHIBI1
MAY BE KEPT BY STATE
Splendid Showing by
Many Counties at
Big Fair.
It Is stated that the magnificent ex
hibit of Bulloch county, which took
first prise at the state fair Thursday,
will be' purchased by the state for ad
vertising purpose*.
W. B. Mitchell, president of the
Georgia commission to the Jamestown
exposition, and Commissioner of Agrt-'
culture T. G. Hudson, also a member
of this commission, are considering the
purchase of the exhibit.
There I* no doubt among those who
can appreciate the value of such work
that J. R. lillller. editor of The States
boro News, who was responsible for
the Bulloch county exhibit, has pro
duced the best that has ever been seen
In this state.
Over sevelf thousand articles were
shown. There were <0 varieties of
wheat. 66 varieties of oats, 100 varie
ties of Irish potatoes. 100 bales of hay,
each of a different variety, 106' of gnr-
den peas, 60 of com, ? of sugercane, .It
varieties of onions, 20 of millet, 91 of
squash,-etc.
In addition, there were beets weigh
ing 20 pounds each sad pumpkins
• ■ t ■ . fjy
weighing 100 pounds. In the exhibit
were also shown nearly 2,000 Jars of
preserves, more than 500 bottles of
home-made wine, and numerous other
domestic articles.
The most remarkable thing In con
nection with the exhibit Is the fact
that, with Just a few exceptions, every
thing was raised by Mr. Miller on a
one-horse farm.
The exhibit of Bartow county, while
being quite aa artistically arranged
was not as comprehensive and was,
therefore, awarded only second prise.
Turn about is fair play, says Bulloch,
for last year Bartow got first and Bui-,
loch second.
Following Is the list of county win
ners. as published In The Georgian of
Thursday, together with the parties re
sponsible for these exhibits:
Bulloch. J. R. Miller, first, <1.800;
Bartow, A. rt. White, second. <1.J00;
t’obh. J. Gldd, Morris, third..' <000;
Worth, Mr*. Monk, fourth, <804; Dc-
Kalh, W. O. MeNaltey. fifth, <600;
Habersham. W. a.-Erwin, sixth, MOO;
Gordon, C. E. Vance, seventh, «00;
Camden, Thomaa Godley, eighth, MOO;

A. 8. Hardy, tenth. MOO; Bibb, B. D.
Lumsden, eleventh, <200; Rabun, W. 8
Erwin, twelfth, <200.
Deserving of special praise is the
exhibit of Hall county, and more es
pecially the exhibitors, Editor A. 8
Hardy and hla assistant. J. A. Mundy
both of Gainesville. Mr. Hardy waa
asked to make a showing for Hall Just
two weeks before the opening of the
fair.
Despite thla short notice and the ad
ditional drawback that It rained almost
the entire two keeks. Hall county has
a splendid exhibit,
