A 25-YEAR CASE
OF ECZEMA CURED
Mr. Butler Edgar of Danville, Pa.,
writes: "1 have had an aggravated
case of Eczema for over 25 years. My
hands were unsightly for a great part
of that long period. I have used seven
50c. bottles of Hancocks Sulphur
Compound and one jar of Hancock's
Sulphur Ointment. I feel as though
1 had a brand new pair of hands. My
case has been such an aggravated
one. Hancock’s Sulphur Compound
has cured me and I am certain it will
cure anyone if they persist in using It
according to directions.” Hancock's

STOP THAT BACKACHE
There’s nothing more discouraging
than a constant backache. You are lame
when you awake. Pains pierce you when
you bend or lift. It's hard to rest and
next day it’s the same old story.
Pain in the back is nature’s warning
of kidney ills. Neglect may pave the
way to dropsy, gravel, or other serious
kidney sickness.
Don't delay—begin using Doan’s Kid
oey Pills —the remedy that has been
curing backache and kidney trouble for
over fifty years.

State Auto Owners Muddled.
Secretary of State Philip Cook is
sued a statement Saturday in which he
declared that notwithstanding the dis
tribution clause of the automobile re
gistration law, passed by the last gen
eral assembly may be null and void
because it is impossible of enforce
ment, this fact does not cancel the
clause which levies a registration fee
of $5 on each automobile and auto
of $5 on each automobile and motor
cycle.
Receiver For American Bank
Attorney General Warren Grice has
been directed by Governor John M.
Slaton to go to Americus and take
steps looking to placing the American
Trust and Savings bank in the hands
of a receiver. The bank was recently

submitted to the State Treasurer
Speer. Therefore, Governor Slaton
directed the attorney general to take
action.
When it became known that the dis
tribution clause of the law was nulli
fied many automobile owners conclud
ed that the entire law was void and
wrote the secretary of state asking
a refund of the money paid for regis
tration fees under the new law.

the property was in litigation and
there are circumstances which lead
him to the belief that the negro was
employed to burn it down.

Partridge, who was in the depot,
heard a revolver shot in his residence,
where Miss Whitaker was alone, and

whom suspicion is strongly fastened '
and who was immediately jailed.

ATLANTA THE MECCA
‘ SHRINERS OF NORTH AMERICA
GATHER FOR IMPERIAL
COUNCIL.
. THOUSANDS IN THE CITY
Seattle and San Francisco Battle for
the Nineteen Hundred and
Fifteen Meeting.
Atlanta. —The 1915 meeting of the
Imperial Shrine of North America be
ing held in Atlanta, is one of the great
est events ever seen in this city. It
is estimated there are between 75,000
and 100,000 visitors in the city, in
cluding nobles from Canada, the Phil
ippines and other foreign and Ameri
can possessions.
It is a gala occasion and one long to
be remembered by both the citizens
and the guests. Never before has At
lanta been so gorgeously decorated,
the streets and the buildings so bril
liantly lighted as they are ^luring
Shrine week. Although the Shriners
will hesitate long enough to hold sev
eral meetings of the Imperial Shrine,
the greater part of the time is being
spent in revelry.
One of the most interesting features
of the occasion was the gigantic pa
rade, which was seven miles long and
composed of 65,000 performers. This
stupendous spectacle began moving at
8:30 o'clock in the morning, and it was
nearly noon when the parade disband
ed, although the route was a short one.
Rivaling in beauty an dsplendor, but
not quite so large was the parade in
the evening of the same day.
In order to give the Shriners the
benefit of every minute of time they
were in the city to enjoy themselves,
the lights are kept lighted until the
morning light outshines them, and
long after the midnight hour had
struck each night the streets are fill
ed with happy throngs of people. One
of the busiest of the downtown streets
has been converted into an immense
open air dance hall where the tango
ers tango to their heart's content.
A unique sight enjoyed by the thou
sands in Atlanta Shrine week is the
tribe of Blackfeet Indians from Giacier
National Park, who have pitched their
tepees in the rear of one of the leading
hotels and live in true frontier style.
They were brought to the meeting by
the Algeria Temple, Helena, Mont.,
and with them came their medicine
men, chiefs, squaws, papooses, musi
cians and dancers.
The visiting temples opened head
quarters in their respective hotels, and
each tried to outshine the other in
the lavishness of their entertain
ment. All Atlanta kept open house
during the week including the ciubs
and other private organizations and
every day was visiting day with every
body.
Many of the visiting temples, espe
cially from the Western states, made
a short tour of the South before finally
reaching Atlanta, the Mecca, some of
them attending the Confederate Vet
erans’ reunion in Jacksonville. The
city was so crowded that large num
bers of the visiting nobles camped In
their Pullmans.
When the parting time comes at the
conclusion of the meeting it will be I
with deep regret that Atlanta and her
people bid farewell to her guests. On
all sides during the week are heard re
marks commending the nobles of the
Yaraab Temple of Atlanta for the ex
cellent manner in which they have pre- I
pared for their guests.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.
Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are cer
tain to follow continued use of Im
proper food.
Those who are still young and ro
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, so will the use of
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of cause and effect in
their dally food. A N. Y. young wom
an writes her experience thus:
"Sometime ago I had a lot of trou
ble from indigestion, caused by too
rich food. I got so I was unable to
digest scarcely anything, and medi
cines seemed useless.
“A friend advised me to try Grape-
Nuts food, praising it highly and as
a last resort, I tried it. I am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re
lieved me of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans so that I can now eat anything I
desire. But I stick to Grape-Nuts ”
