ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS CARDS.
First One Was Designed Nearly Seventy
Years Ago.

The Christmas card as we know it
has an origin easily traceable, and it is
now not quite seventy years ago since
the first was designed.
The artist who claimed to be its
originator and who was at any rate
the first to see its possibilities was w.
c. I. Dobson. r. A, an Englishman
who when quite young man in 1874
was prompted at Christmas to make a
little sketch symbolic of the seasons
joys and festivities and to send it to
a friend. 1t seemed to give great
pleasure, and the next year Mr.. Dob
son determined to follow up the idea
on larger scale and by having his
card Autographed was enabled to send
copies to twenty-five or thirty friends.
The delight with which they were re.
ceived was so great that Mr.. Dobsor
was quick to perceive that he had
found out a new pleasure for Christ.

Strange New
Liquid.
People Who Suffer For Years And Who
Never Expected To Get Well Are
Fast Recovering And Whole
State Is Interested.

So great has been the success of the
famous new Root Juice medicine in
Atlanta and elsewhere that people all
over the state have become interested
and reports of remarkable experiences
are beginning to come from all direc-
| tions.
Among the latest and most remark
able cases that have been brought to
light is that of Mrs. E. Storm, a we'll
known resident of Marietta, Ca, who
has for over six years suffered from
stomach and kidney trouble and whom
it is said eight doctors and a number
of different medicines failed to cure.
In speaking of her strange experience
with the Root Juice treatment. Mrs.
Storm said: my appetite was poor,
my food would not digest and | suf-
fered frightfully. Gas would form in
nay stomach and cause belching.
Sometimes l would become sick at the
stomach and frequently suffered from
headaches. l had severe backaches
and pains over my kidneys. was
weak. rundown and nervous and at
times could not sleep. When l be-
, gan to hear so much about the new
Root Juice treatment decided to try
it and now, after using only two bot
ties, find myself greatly benefited.
l am beginning to feel fine. For the
first time in four years l am able to
work about the house. l certainly do
not regret any money spent for this
great medicine for the two bottles l
used have done more for me than all
the doctors and medicines l tried in
eight years."
Another remarkable case is that of
Mr.. Joseph Bradner, of Jackson, Ca,
whose signed statement says that
after using two bottles of the juice,
rheumatism left him, the swelling dis
appeared and he feels betterlthan for
| years.
Reports similar to these coming from
all parts of the state seem to prove
beyond all doubt that the new medi-
cine is effecting wonderful results in
cases of impure blood, rheumatism,
weak kidneys, backache, headaches.
nervousness, Indigestion, belching, loss
of appetite, pains after meals and
other symptoms of weak or disordered
stomach, liver, kidneys or bowels,
1t can now be obtained at any good
drug store and in view of the great
benefits hundreds of sufferers are de-
riving every day it would seem ad-
visable for home people who seek a
speedy cure to give it a thorough
| trial-Ady.

FICTION WRITER'S
SMOKE TOBACCO
NoveIists Who Draw Inspira-
ton From the Pipe, the
Cigar and the Cigarette.
From London Tit-Bits.

| Z rom LONDON I1t-bltS.
Sir Conan Doyle is a great lover of the
pure cigarette; so, too, is the famous Sill
Gilbert Parker, whose fine romantic sto-
ries enjoy such widespread popularity
and his study Is invariably made aromatic
with the smell of it while he is at work
Another brilliant writer of fiction whose
genius is closely bound together with the
mild cigarette is Mr.. r. Kitchens. one OF
the best and most popular Of authors.
The late Robert Barr was immensely
fond of the cigarette. and but rarely set
tied himself down to any task without
first making sure that his cigarette case
was at his elbow.
Mr.. E. +. Benson, the famous author OF
"Dodo,' also enjoys a cigarette, and is
fond Of declaring that he finds it a great
help, as well as a most pleasing cOmpan-
ion, when he is hard at work with his
pen.
Very few Of our popular writer's of fic-
ton favor cigar, probably finding the
mouth end of it much too thick to hold
between the lips with any degree of com.
fort when at work. Mr.. Arthur Morrison
however, seeks comfort and inspiration n
a good cigar.
Mr.. G. K. Chesterton can also be brack.
eted with Mr.. Morrison In favor OF the CT
gar.
The pipe is the special favorite among
most of our popular writer's of fiction
Cutcliffe Hyne, the famous author OF
Captain Kettle" and other exciting sto.
ries of peril and adventure, is a great
lover of the pipe. and nearly always has
it in use, especially when he is carrying
his gun on his arm, which is his favorite
outdoor pastime.
Max Pemberton is also fond of his pipe
and but very seldom takes up his pen tC
write without having it between his teeth
Probably the greatest of all humorous
writer's of sea stories is w. W. Jacobs
whose immensely popular yarns always
create an abundance of good, hearty mer-
riment and jovial pleasure. He also is a
firm believer in his dearly loved briar.
r. Andom, the well known author OF
that amusing book, I'VE Three and Trod.
dies" is another humorous writer who
loves pipe. He confesses that he can.
not write unless a peculiar shaped brian
it at hand. and that he always smokes
one particular brand of tobacco.
