There is a Real Difference

Cream Of tartar, derived corn grapes,
IS used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.

CLEANUP WEEK.

The week beginning Wednesday,
the 9TH of April, and ending the 18th
has been designated as Cleanup
Week, and everybody is going to
clean up their premises and make
Dawson shine like a new kettle. Are
you going to do your part? The Pal
ace is. The Palace is in hearty CO.
operation with the movement, and We
want to assist in making this week
the best cleaning proposition that
was ever pulled off in Dawson. We
want to see the town sure enough
cleaned up, and We are going to give
a prize to the boys and girls that will
assist in doing this work. So get
busy children and win this prize.
Here it is, just as simple and just
as easy as can be: To each child
under II years old during Cleanup
Week who brings ten old tin cans to
the Palace we will give one ticket
We want a pile of cans as big as a
house in front of the Palace, SO be-
gin saving them right now and bring
in ten every afternoon all this week
and see the show free. Remember
that you can go to the Palace every
day this week and it will cost you
absolutely nothing but ten old tin
cans. This offer is only good at mat
inses. Tell your mothers and faith
ers about it, and get them to help
you find the old cans-there are
plenty of them at home; Just look
everywhere for them.
Remember that the Cleanup
Week begins today so get your old
cans ready and come out.

THE PALACE PROGRAM.

Look at the Palace program and
look at the best theatre program in
any city in America ana you will see
the same thing. The Palace is class
ed as a first-class theatre, and its pro-
grams prove this statement to be
true. You will find few towns in the
country the size of Dawson that have
the program the Palace offers you,
and it is up to you to show your ap-
probation by liberal patronage.
Where can you find greater stars
than weekly appear at the Palace?
Just look and see. Consult the news
papers, consult the magazines and
consult any other authority you may
wish. The reason the Palace can af-
ford to give you what it does is sim
ply this: The management of the
Palace operates two other theatres.
and by united contracts it is able to
get the very cream of the market that
an Independent exhibitor in a small
town could never secure.

DR.. EDWARDS NOW
RECOMMENDS IT
PROMINENT GEORGIA PHYSICIAN
GIVES MASTER MEDICINE IN
QUALIFIED ENDORSEMENT.

DR.. j. T. Edwards of Fayetteville,
Ga, one of the best known members
OF the medical profession in the state
of Georgia, makes a statement that
will undoubtedly produce a profound
impression throughout the South.
In my thirty years of active prac-
tice as a licensed physician in the
state of Georgia." says DR.. Edwards,
Il have never seen anything to equal
Tanlac as a medicine TO produce re-
suits. | hear people on all sides tell
ing of the benefits they have derived
from its use.
"Tanlac is certainly the talk Of my
town. | have no hesitancy in recon-
mending the medicine; and as a mat
ter Of fact, l am prescribing it for
my patients almost every day.
only a few days ago well known
woman of Fayetteville came to me
and told me about the remarkable
relief her daughter had gained from
the use of this medicine. She said
her daughter had been confined to
her bed for three years with what
had been pronounced pellagra, and
that after using Tanlac for short
time she was able to be about, and
was on the road to recovery.
But this is only one instance. PeO-
pie in all walks of life in and around
our little city are giving similar in
dorsements to the medicine. Seldom
a day passes that some one does not
come to me and say something about
the good results they are getting from
the use of Tanlac.
Several unusual gains in weight
have been reported by some OF our
most prominent people, and | have
treated some stubborn cases of indi-
gestion, catarrhal conditions and or
ganic disorders and secured splendid
results with Tanlac.'
Commenting upon this statement
Mr. G. f. Willis, southern distributor
of Tanlac, said:
Coming from the high source it
does. and especially from a member
of the medical profession, this
straightforward utterance of DR.. Ed
wards is more than a recommends
ton. 1t is a triumph! Tanlac, Ma
lures great vegetable tonic. correct
i've and system-builder, is truly one
of the greatest discoveries of the dec
ade and the best evidence Of this is
the confidence and high esteem in
which it is held. not only by the great
masses of the people, but by leaders
and public men everywhere. No 9th
er medicine has ever established the
reputation Tanlac has, nor has any
other medicine received the high en-
dorsement of medical men and laity.
Tanlac is sold in Dawson by Daw-
son Drug Co., in Parrot by the City
Drug Store, in Graves by d. M. Dis
nuke, in Bronwood by Wall Drug
Co., and in Sasser by Davis Drug Co.

PAVILION AT TYBEE ISLAND
Former Dawson Man VIII Conduct
Amusement Institution.

The pavilion at Tybee Island has
been leased by Frank Harrell, who is

square feet of door space, while twice
that much space will be devoted to
a promenade, which will give visit

TERRELL REPUBLICANS
ALLIED WITH INSURGENTS
Want Chairman Walter ii. Johnson
Dethroned as High Muck-a-Muck.

The Terrell county republican con-
vention, which recently appointed
delegates to the State and Third con-
gressional district conventions, adopt
ed resolutions renewing allegiance to
the republican party OF Lincoln,
Grant and Mckinley and faith in a
protective tariff, and declared for a
compulsory education law, the better
preservation of public health and the
better enforcement of all laws, and
condemned lynching as 'disgracing
the name of our fair state and bring
ing a blush of shame to every law
abiding citizen and lover of our state
and it's welfare
The republican party as it has been
organized in Georgia for years was
condemned for its inactivity except
once in four years, when 2 president
is to be elected, and support is pledg-
ed to that organization which be-
comes active for the principles of the
party and not mere pie distribution.
This means that the Terrell republic
cans have bolted the regular organi-
cation in Georgia, which has been
headed by Walter H. Johnson for
years, and allied themselves with an
insurgent faction headed by Henry
L. Jackson and Henry Johnson, the
latter a negro lawyer of Atlanta.
