By GENE COHN,
NEW YORK,—To live In the na
tion's most exclusive club, one must:
Be past 60 years of age.
Be cultured
Have known wealth and luxury
but, through 111 fortune, have been
redaced to poverty.
Must have had, In addition to
wealth, refined surroundings.
Must be absolutely without money,
with no place to turn.
Must be married, preferably to the
partner of wealth and adversity, as
all the quarters for single folk are
gone.
The club charges no dues. Admis
sion Is free, alnd members do not pay
for their board and lodging.
THIRTY SELECTED.
Thousands have sought admission.
Only 60 have been tsken In. Most of
the applicants who failed did not
meet the requirements of culture, as
all members must fit Into the en
vironment.
And the environment Is a million
dollar palace, more gorgeous than the
most exclusive clubs and hotels, at
sumptuous as any millionaire's estate.
It Is possibly the moat astounding
heritage ever left—the gift of tho late
Andrew Freedman to the "Indigent
r'eh."
Freedman was a multi-millionaire
In his declining years he was ut
times beset by a fear that suddenly
he might lose his fortune. And then
where would he go? Accustomed to
• very luxury and service, where
would he turn?
‘HE POOR BANRUPT RICH.
There must be many persona like
that, he thought. They, of all poor
folk, were the most unfortunate. In
his opinion.
There were homes for the poor of
all sorts and conditions, but how
could persons of culture, refinement,
aristocratic tastes and habits adjust
themselves to ordinary retreats?
Only the most exclusive and ele
gant surroundings coald make this
class of person feel »t ease. They
had a deeper pride; they suffered
more In wgut. Freedman believed.
EVERY LUXURY.
And when he died he left J 4,000,000
Grocerymen!
Grab the other shirt
and tooth brush and
come on—

Atlanta Food Show

HIS LOVE IS NOT FICKLE
When he meases up the neighbors’ chickens or cat, tracks mod across the living room rug,
bites a teasing stranger or hogs the supper steak, the reputation of our trusted, faithful friend—
the dog—suffers almost a total eclipse, irreparable damage, yet we won’t do without him.
He may be a "deep-organed Dane”, sassy Boston Bull, an aristocratic “pom” or “peck,” or
perhaps just a “thoroughbred mongrel" with an engaging disposition, nevertheless he’s the best
friend of man, an inseparable pal of the boy in whose life he plays the stellar role.
Recently one of the Fidelity and Guaranty Companies announced reduced insurance rates
of 5 or 10 per cent on premises where dogs are kept.
The mischeviousness of a dog may be annoying, but entertaining to say the least, and the
love and faithfulness more than make up. Don’t be without n dog.
No trouble to find a good one through the Want Columns of our paper.

nAT in and day out, week in and week out the tired, over-worked
housewife and mother toils on, sweeping, dusting, cook
ing, cleaning and mending. Is it any wonder that after a time a
weakness, such as Mrs. Chapman had, develops and the wife and mother
pays a toll in physical weakness and pain for her efforts of love, the *
natural result of overwork 1
Women who find themselves afflicted with weakness, pain, head
aches, backache, nervousness, irritability and melancholia will bo
interested in Mrs. Chapman’s letter, and should realize that Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, is especially
adapted to overcome such conditions.
Mrs. Chapman’s Letter Reads as Follows:
NEW ALBANY, IND. — "I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for
a weakness which many women have from over work, and from which I suffered
for quite a while. I wasn’t fit to do my work and my sister advised mo to take
this medicine. After the first few days the pains were not so severe as they
had been and after taking a few bottles I am not bothered any more. I am
doing my housework every day and highly recommend the Vegetable Compound
to any woman suffering from female trouble. Only yesterday a friend called
me on the 'phone and knowing what it did for me wanted to know what to ask
for at the drug-store, as she meant to give it a trial.” —MRS. C. E. CHAPMAN,
1520 Elm Street, New Albany. Indiana.
Another Case of Nervous Breakdown
MEMPHIS. TENN. —‘‘Two years ago I was completely run-down and my
nerves were a wreck. I could not sweep a room without resting, I could not do
any of my work except a little at a time and the doctor’s medicine did not help
me. One day some one threw a little book on to my porch and in It I read several
testimonials of women who had been like myself. I went right out ar.d got me a
. bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and before I had taken tho
whole us that bottle I knew it was helping me. I took six bottles and then in
about three months I took two more. Now I am in perfect health. I do all
ray own work and could do more. I can truly say that T know Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound gave me my health.”—MßS. 0. J. HINCKLEY,
