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 ’ I .... ..f iba WMOt rill- gif Pfirlfll 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," .Work For 60JXX) Laborers. 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."

Complete Home Makers 103-5-7-9-11 Whitehall Open Evenings Till 7:30 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; Carroll. T. Boone, ninth, MOO; Hall, 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, Carried Monkey-Wrench to Cell. 8per 1*1 to The Georglsn.
