After he had been arrested yester-
day morning on one charge of house
breaking. Robert Mayo. a young negro.

in a second and more serious offense
by the idle comment OF a small white
boy. Mayo was arrested by Motorcycle
Oficer Samuels on the charge of en-
tering the room of Robert Wiley, col
ored, with whom he lived, in the rear
of 3 South Third Street, with intent
to commit larceny. He was said to
have been found in the room by Wiley's
younger brother. who declared Mayo
was turning things over apparently
with the idea of taking something.

articles for some time. when told that
Mayo was in his room, swore out
warrant for his arrest.

to the patrol box in Third Street. where
Samuels had taken his prisoner. While
waiting for the patrol one of the
youngsters said to the officer: say.

After Mayo had been locked up at
the Second Police Station the name
Of Hargrove buzzed in Samuers ears.
He suddenly recalled that Arthur w.

various supplies. including paints and

corning the observance of Lent:
1t is not well to renounce one
gayety for another, to put aside
dancing, for instance. and find sol
ace in bridge.
If girls would take occasion to
use little less rouge for forty
days, they may be better off at the
end of that time.

one to a realization of why the
sacrifice is made
Rather Season for Taking on.
Lent Is not season for leaving
off, but rather for taking on. The
renunciations are not the great
thing. Rather they are a recogni-
ton of why the remuneration is
made.
To renounce certain pleasures
and vantties during Lent is to pre-
pare the mind for a realization of
the sterner things and the realities
of life.
However, Rev. Mr.. Memminger said
Lent, with its renunciations, is a mat.
ter for the individual conscience ant
is not to be prescribed. Members OF
his flock will be asked to leave off the
gayer delights of dancing, bridge, thea.
tiers and formal functions and to think
less Of the vanities and pleasures O
life. But the course merely is sug.
gested among Episcopalians, and is no
laid down to be followed hard and fast
There is nothing strictly forbidden
during Lent that should not be forbid.

MONEY REFUNDED
WITH A SMILE
Leading Drug Stores Will Give
Money Back Should There Ever
Be a Case Where Dodson's
Liver Tone Fails.

Dodson's Liver Tone is a mild
vegetable Liver Tonic which operates
so successfully in cases of constipa-
ton, torpid liver or biliousness that
it has practically taken the place of
calomel-the drug which is so often
dangerous. All Atlanta druggists
who sell Dodson's Liver Tone, rec
ommend it as reliever of constipa-
ton, sour stomach, biliousness and
sluggish liver. 1t works gently, sure
ly and harmlessly. If bottle should
ever fail to give satisfaction any At
lanta druggist will refund the price
paid without question.
The price of Dodson's Liver Tone
is so cts. per bottle. Be sure you get
Dodson's Liver Tone and not some
medicine put up in imitation that Is
not backed up by a guarantee and
that may contain harmful drugs.
