.CHAUTAUQUA
Being WELL
ADVERTISED
MANY METHODS Being USED
To Give Widest Publicity to
This Event

That wide publicity is being given To
the Chautauqua to be held here next
week is a well known fact, as one can
not look around at passing automo-
biles or at the street corners without
seeing pennants waving on automo-
biles or on ropes stretched across the
intersections of the principal streets.
The ladies of the Hospital asso-
citation who are busily engaged in
making the Chautauqua a success are
using every means possible to adver-
tise and popularize the Chautauqua
week, which begins May 20 and extends
through May 26, giving a week of pop
ular attractions. A personal canvass
is now being made of outlying towns
in order to bring every one possible to
Americas to enjoy the Chautauqua
week here.
Greater success than had been eX-
pected has greeted the attempt to
have a parade here the opening day.
The Board of Trade has this feature
of the work in charge, with assurances
that it will be made a complete sue
cess. 1t is hoped that the parade will
help popularize the entire weeks at
fractions hare.

MRS. HOWARD WAGNER
Writes Personal Letter to Her Drug
gfst About Bad Cough.

Mrs. Howard Wagner, of Milton, Pa.
writes her druggist as fallows: For
two months | suffered from a bad cold
from which l could get no relief, then
! began to cough and would cough UNI
til midnight every night. | consulted
a doctor and took two kinds of medi-
cine, but without benefit. One day
seeing Vinol, your cod liver and iron
medicine advertised in my paper, |
sent for bottle. After taking it the
second day l did not cough so much
and felt stronger; and at the end of a
week | could go to bed and sleep with
out coughing once. l have now taken
in all, six bottles, and I never felt
better in my life. l have a fine appetite
and have gained twelve pounds. AS
Vinol has helped me so much want
others to know about it,"
The curative and Strengthening
properties of Vinol built up Mrs. Wag-
ners health and her cough disappear
ed as natural result.
We guarantee that Vinol will do all
we claim and will pay back your mon
ey if Vinol does not satisfy you. Muir

SCATTERED DIAMONDS FROM
HIS OWN HANDKERCHIEF

Atlanta, May 13.-When w. X. Now
er, who was canoeing at East Lake
yesterday afternoon, casually blew his
nose, he scattered $1,000 worth of
diamonds and other precious jewels
into the water which was muddy ana
20 feet deep. He had wrapped them Ill
his pocket handkerchief to keep safe
for a couple of lady friends who were
in bathing, and had forgotten all
about it. A sudden sneeze made him
grab for the handkerchief. with the
result that the flashing jewels were
flirted in the water like pebbles.
The two ladies to whom the gems
belonged were Mrs. L. S. Crane and
Mrs. w. E. Arnaud Along with their
husbands they were in bathing in an
other part of the lake, when Mower
yelled for help. Several other canoes
spend to his assistance and he ex-
planned the situation. Eugene Kelly
and three or four other of the most
expert divers among the club athletes
Immediately got heavy row boats and
went out to the spot. They fortunate-
ly found the bottom of the lake solid
at that point. After diving for an
hour or more, they managed to rescue
nearly all of the jewels. A big diani>
ond horse shoe and two diamond sun
bursts were among the things re-
covered. Several diamond rings were
fastened together with a piece of
string, and they also were found.

q Most Important Function and One to be
Carefully Guarded.

The purpose of the kidneys being to
filter the blood the question of treat
ing supposed kidney weakness should
be considered carefully Instead of
drugs and alleged kidney stimulants
the better plan is to purify thes blood
with an antidotal effect such as you
get from S. S. S.
1t should be remembered that the
kidneys are made up of a fine net work
of blood vessels. and it is to stimulate
the functional activity of kidney It's
sue through this capillary net work
that S. S. S. shows one of it's most re-
markable effects.
The medicinal value of the COM
ponents of S. S. S. is relatively just
as vital to healthy kidney action as
the nutriment obtained from grain,
meat fats, sugars, or any other part
of our daily food is to the natural
reconstructive requirements of the It's
SUES. And there is one component of
S. S. S. which serves the active pur-
pose of stimulating the cellular tissues
of the kidneys to a healthy and judi
cious selection of it's own essential
nutriment. Thus, in cases of rheu-
matism. cystitis, chronic sore throat,
huskiness of voice, bronchitis. asthma,
and the myriad of other reflex indi-
cations of weak kidney action, first
purify your blood with S. S. S. so 1t
will enable the tissues to rebuild their
cellular strength and regain their
normal health.
S. S. S. is prepared by The Swift
Specific Co., 1877 Swift Bldg, Atlanta,
Ga, and if you have any deep-seated
or obstinate blood trouble, write to
their Medical Dept. for free advice.
1t will be worth your while to do so.
You will find s. S. S. on sale at all
drug stores.

Opposition Has Pretty Well

Atlanta, Ga, May 13-Authortativo
information comes from Washington
to the effect that the opposition to
Joseph S. Davis, of Albany, for mar
shall of the southern district of Geor-
gia, will amount to nothing, and that
Mr.. Davis is certain to be appointed
and confirmed.
This information comes from a gen
tleman just back from Washington and
who is sufficiently in the confidence d
the administration at the national can
ital to get his data correctly and fro N
the inside.
He says there is no shadow of doubt
that Mr.. Davis will shortly be APP,
pointed to the post for which he has
been slated by Senator Bacon, and
that he will be confirmed without op-
position showing in the senate.
This will be good news to his friends
throughout the state, who know him to
be good man and in every way wor-
thy and capable of public service, such
as that for which he has been desig-
mated. 1t is expected that his name
will be sent to the senate shortly and
confirmed at once.

I Robert Luce, former lieutenant gov,

state senator of Michigan, and James
Troutman, state senator of Kansas,
composed the statement, expressing
the sentiment of the conference.
Much interest centered about the
significance of including in the state.
ment the phrase about "reuniting the
party" Senator Cummins explained
that 1T meant just what it said,' but
that no lengthy talk had been INDUCED
il, about inviting members of the
progressive party to return to the re-
publican ranks.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, was oppos-
ed to calling a republican national con-
vention. He also asserted that it
would be useless to attempt to recog-
nize from the top down as any meet
ing held at this time would be con-
trolled by the same men who dominat-
ed the convention of last June.
He was the center of discussion
when he advanced plan for the direct
election of delegates to national con-
ventions, standing practically alone on
this issue.
Hostility to the present national
committee has been openly expressed
by several of the progressives. Sena>
tor Kenyon's statement that most o.
us would have no objection if most
of the national committee resigned"
is backed up by Senator Sherman, of
Illinois, who said:
"The feeling is that the national
committee should be less infexibIe and
more amenable to public opinion. One
of the aims of the conference is to
curtail the powers of the existing ma
tional committee. Interviews have dis
closed that the concensus of opinion
favors following the rule adopted b,
the progressive and democratic nation.

of the national committee shall as

solution Of the old committee at the
close of the national convention. BY
such an arrangement, the new comml,-
teemen would handle the credentials of
the 1916 convention"
The attendance of Senator Gronna,
of North Dakota, is said to have the
disapproval of Senator LaoFllette who
is not in sympathy with the gathering.
The two have been strong political al
lies, and it is reported that the deter
mination of Senator Gronna to attend
