A number Of Bob" Blackburn S
friends have been urging him 70 be-
come d candidate for the State Court

given the matter little thought, 1t is
a fact that his name has been Sc
riously considered for this high po-
sition by numerous persons Of infiu-
ence and standing-men whose back
ing would mean very great deal.
Mr. Blackburn is a member of the
Atlanta bar and has served Fulton

ture. He is recognized az one of the
best lawyers in the House, and by
reason Of his position as vice chair
man Of the Committee on Rules. he

should run for place on the Appeals

Mr. Blackburn has the reputation
of being a very thorough man, and
whether he runs for the Court OF

of his name in that connection ~ by
no means a mere idle compliment.

$4,000 STARTER

HOSPITAL
Congregations Enter Campaign
for Greatest TotaI-AtIanta to
Raise 100000,

The campaign committee of the
Atlanta Association for the Greater
Georgia Baptist Hospital went back
10 it's work Wednesday morning with
renewed vigor, following a meeting
the previous afternoon at whlcn TWO
big subscriptions, one for $4,000 and
one for $1,000, were announced as
promised" The idea is to raise
100000 in Atlanta by February /, al :
ter which the State Association OF
Georgia Baptists is to raise another
500, 900.
At the Tuesday meeting the pastors
of the leading Baptist churches OF
the city were present, as well as
several prominent laymen. The an
nouncement of the big subscriptions
was made by f. j. Coolidge. chair
man, at whose offices the meeting
was held.
A challenge was given by repre-
sentatives of the Ponce DeLeon Ave
nue. Baptist Church to the First and
Second Churches to engage in a
three cornered race as to which
should raise the most money Each
OF the three churches expects to top
the $4,000 mark.
The Georgia Baptist Hospital was
purchased from the old Tabernacle
Infirmary in March, 1918, and since
that time has cared for 500 patients.
The total amount of work done to
date amounts to $4,000, a great deal
Of charity work being included. AZ
ter the raising of the 100000. the
present property is to be sold, at an
estimated price of s125,00o, which is
a fair value.
Then new site will be purchased
and a commodious and thoroughly
modern building erected, equipped
not only for caring for patients. but
also for the training school work OF
a larger number of girls.

each Your Child
Ho1v to Be Healthy
Regular BoUel Movement
From Infancy Insures
Good Health in Later
Years.

We can not all start life with the
advantages of money, but every
child born is entitled to the heritage
of good health. Through unfortu-
nate ignorance or carelessness in the
feeding of a baby it's tiny stomach
may become deranged. The disor-
der spreads to the bowels and before
the mother realizes it the two chief
organs on which the infants COM
fort and health depend are causing
1t great suffering, If the condition
is allowed to continue, grave all
ments often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly
is to give the baby a small dose of
a mild laxative tonic. In the opin-
ion of a great many people, among
them such well-known persons as
the parents of Bertha Lee Wood
ard years old, of Moultrie, Ga,
the proper remedy is DIR. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. J. n. Woodland
says that little Bertha was troubled
with constipation for over year
and that after trying several differ
ent kinds of remedies she found
her relief in Syrup Pepsin. 1t is
a mild, pleasant-tasting laxative,
which every person likes, does not
grippe nor cramp, and contains that
most excellent of all digestants, pep
sin.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is es-
pecially intended for infants, chill
dren, women, old people and all 9TH
ers to whom harsh cathartics, salt
waters, pills, etc, are distressing,

SOME GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

I am resolved that during the year
1914:
1 will try to get my rightful share of
good, fresh air all the time
viii be careful and temperate in
my habits and take some exercise in the
open air every day.
viii not indulge in needless worry
or fret and stew over matters that ]
cannot control or help.
will not abuse nature but do my
best to cooperate with it in keeping
myself well and strong.
win try to the best of my ability to
scatter the germs of health knowledge
rather than the germs of disease.
I viii try to be kind, courteous and
gOod-natured in order that 1 may have
mental peace and good digestion all
the timex
I will beNalert, interested and active
in doing all can to care for my own
health, that Of my family and of the
community in which live.
I viii do my best to give my neigh
boris children the same protection from
disease and danger of every kind that
I would demand that he give to mine.
I viii keep my own premises clean
and tidy and if possible have a cleaner
back yard and a more attractive lawn
than any other man in my row.
I viii practice, promote and encour-
age community cleanliness to the end
that my community shall be a better
place to live in this year than it was
last.
I will join heartily with my neighbors
In doing the things that will promote
and encourage civic progress and thus
help to make Chicago the best and most
desirable city in the world to live in.
I will not prescribe for the ills and
ailments Of my friends, but leave that
to their doctors, who are authorized by
law to treat the sick and who know
more about such matters than I do.
I will seek always to take a clear
and hopeful vision Of life and its re-
spOnsibiities as affecting my duties
As 9 good citizen and to keep myself,
both body and mind in such condition
that I may do the best work for my
own good and that Of the community
wherein live.
Recognizing that to live right is a
creed to which all humanity should |
subscribe, I will use all the intelligence
1 have to practice right living to the
end that I may enjoy a sane, happy and
healthful existence and in this way
help others to conserve their physical
health and vigor.
I will try to train and educate my
children that when they are grown up
they win be, from both the moral and
physical standpoints, better men and
women than their parents are. If I
fail in this realize that I shan not be
doing my rightful share towards help
ing in the onward and upward progress
of the race.
