LAST OF The DINNERS
Was SERVED TO NUMBER
Hoped They Have Melted Neat
Sum 10 Hospital

Yesterday closed the dinners that
1--we been served by the ladies of the
Hospital Association for the past
eight days at the armory A large
number of guests that were served
found it, like its predecessors, a
very satisfactory menu.
The ladies of the association have
given unstintedly of their time toward
making the dinners a success. f.
nancially and otherwise. With their
usual public spirit, they entered into
the work intellectually and deserv-
ed we'll the public support that came
TO them.
l, will not probably be known for
couple of days exactly what profits
were realized from the dinners to-
ward the hospital building fund, but
it is hoped that twill run somewhere
between $3.50 and 5000.
While the work of raising funds for
the new hospital is necessarily a slow
one the women whose hearts are 50
much attached to the institution will
persevere until it has reached proper
tons sufficient to justify the begin
ming of building operations Ameri-
Gus needs the new building, one If
the few things it yet needs to raise il
into a city of the first class, and il
is hardly probable that it will he
long before public sympathy is arous-
ed to such an extent that the SUB
scriptions will reach an amount suffi-
cient to justify the securing of plans
and the actual work of construction
begun.

WATER POWER TRUST
TO RUN TALLULAH
Hard to Wake Up the People
Of Georgia

To The People of Georgia:
| IN Massachusetts three steamship
lines running out of Boston, are try
ing to force merger In the B,s-
ton Transcript of December 6, it is
stated that Mayor Fitzgerald, of Bos-
ton, has gone post haste to Washing
ton, there to poin party of lead
ling citizens of Massachusetts now in
attendance on the rivers and harbors
; congress, and these gentlemen are o.
ing to call upon the president and
lay before him the announcement Of
tie proposed consolidation, which
they declare is one of the most VI
cious things that could happen 20
Boston
Listen to what the mayor says:
81 shall tell President Taft" says
the mayor, that this is one of the
things that cause high prices, ID is
a concrete Illustration as to tue way
the public IS saddled with burdens n
order that few men may be given
the opportunity to become wealthy.
This exchange stock has certainly got
the counterfeiting game beaten a
block. 1t is just like picking mans
pocket, 50 far as the moral effect
is concerned, though the pickpocket
tails within the law and is punished,
while the business men go unpun-
ishad."
This is the way they feel in Massa-
Chnsetts. In Georgia a water power
tr'ist is being organized which makes
the Massachusetts steamship trust
lCok like thirty cents. But we don't
see any mayors of Atlanta or any
other towns, or any committee of ci>-
liens or any high public officials get
ting exercised about it. Only the pa
triotic masses of Georgians who
don't want to see our scenery de-
stToyed and our countrymen's necks
Under the yokes of these few men
Who to get wealthy would plough up
their grandfathers' graves.

President Tallulah Falls Conservation

ed calling down the street; and Pol
lyooiy went up the stairs, smiling Sc
renely.
For the next twenty days Pollyooiy
retained her two posts of laundress,
undisturbed. Five or six times the
Honorable John Rufin and Mr. Gedge-
Tomkins inquired how her aunt was;
and she replied that she was no better.
Mrs. Meeken was more frequent in
her inquiries; and she received the
same answer. But Pollyooly was not
happy; always the fear Of the newt
able discovery hung upon her spirit,
depressing it often for as long as ten
minutes at time She was on the
way to develop cleft between her
eyebrows from her frequent anxious
frowns. Most children would have
taken a fortnights security as per
manent guarantee against discovery.
But Pollyooly had too active an imagi-
nation; and the dreadful fear of find
ing herself and the Lump adrift on
the world was always with her.
In the meantime she was doing
everything in her power to provide
against the evil day of discov-
cry; but her power was not
great. Inc rent OIL t0elI dLtlC was
three shillings a week; the Jumps
milk cost another shilling, since her
aunt had held pint OF milk day
to be a necessity for child of three,
and Pollyooly adhered firmly to the
practice. The stale bread, the bacon
fat which the Honorable John Rufln
spurned, and Mr.. Gedge-Tomkins got
no chance of spurning. and an occa-
sional uneaten egg. made the chief
part Of their food, and there was some
times red-letter day when too many
brandies and sodas on the top Of too
much champagne made even his be-
loved bacon abhorrent to the Honor
able John Rufin; and Pollyooly
brought home six slices Of untouched
bacon and two boiled but uneaten
eggs.
On the afternoon of the twenty-first
day she was taking the Lump to the
gardens on the Embankment, when
halfway down Alsatia she passed Mrs.
Meeken; and the look of cunning tri-
umph which that good lady gave
her stirred in her a strong uualm of
uneasiness. The sun was shining too
brightly for the uneasiness to last:
but II she had known how Mrs. Nee
ken had been spending her time, no
sunshine would have eased her mind.

Life Insurance Companies
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance compa
MES in an interview on the subject
made the astonishing statement that
the reason why SO many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is SO common to the
American people and the large ma.
jority of applicants do not even sus.
pect that they have the disease.
He states that judging from his
own experience and reports from
druggists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is ono
preparation that has probably been
more successful in relieving and cur.
ing these diseases than any remedy
known. The mild and healing influ-
ence OF DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record of cures.
We find that Swamp Root is stric,.
ly an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel In need
OF such remedy to give 1t a trial. II

She left him to finish his breakfast,
and went to the set of chambers on
the other side of the landing to clear
away the breakfast of Mr. Gedge-Tom-
kins. Mr.. Gedge Tomkins felt no
need for converse with his fellow
creatures at breakfast time; and If he
had, it could not have been gratif1ed by
converse with child of twelve: for
he was a strong silent man, seriously
bent on brilliant career at the Bar
and in Politics. Pollyooly never had
word from him beyond his instruc-
tons about his breakfast for the next
morning, though she often heard his
snort as he browsed sternly on his
morning paper 1t Is to be feared that
she did not lavish the affection and

ployers; and then, having finished her
work for the day, she shut their oaks,
with sigh of relief that another day
had passed, and her employers had
not heard of her aunt's death.
