POLITICIANS | n
ATLANTA NEE Is
FOR COMMITTEE

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb 1S.-Senator
Thomas w. Hardwick of Georgia and
ether notables of the political world,
both at home and in the national cap
itaI, are expected in Atlanta tomorrow
in connection with the meeting of the
state democratic executive committee.
Congressman William Schley How.
ard of the Fifth district will also be
here, having an engagement to address
the Junior Order of United American
Mechanics in Atlanta on the night of
February %.
All in all, it will be the biggest polit-
zeal gathering the state has seen in
years, as the meeting will bring not
only members of the executive COM
mittee but state and federal office
holders and scores of men who take
an interest in political affairs.
One of the notable figures attendant
upon the meeting of the committee will
Clayton M. Robson, of Milledgeville,
the well known disinfectant agent who
devotes almost as much time to poll
tics as to business, although the latter
by no means suffers for lack of atten-
ton.
For several weeks Robson has been
in Washington devoting his attention
to the national situation, but the pros
pect of an old-time political gathering
Is too inviting to ignore, and this
added to the fact that he is membe.,
of the state executive committee, will
bring him back for few days to his
hea dquarters in Suite 623 Of the Kim
ball House, where his friends expect
him to hold forth with the usual hos
pitS lily that characterizes his sojourns
in the city
MIR. Robson, as the recognized leader
of the anti-prohibition forces of the
state, will see that his side of this
question is we'll represented in any
deliberations of the committee wherein
prohibition may be involved.
The general concensus of opinion is
that the anti-prohibition forces cap
tu1ed majority of the places on the
state committee when it was being
made up in Macon in 1914, and there
arc likely to be some highly interest
ing side-lights in connection with the
committees meeting.

AS We GROW Older

our minds are quite as active as IN
former years but our strength does not
respond when we need it most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stiffened joints
beset US, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion to renew the blood
and carry strength to every organ of the
body, whileits glycerine soothes the res
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion is a scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit to those past
fifty particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.
