Bored Because
Everything Is
Successful

ATLANTA, Ga, March 13-Atlanta
has discovered to the world a man
who is bored almost to death by the
fact that everything he undertakes is
d success. He is sick of success to the
point that when he establishes an en-
terprise that would content another
man for lifetime he Immediately
grows tired of it, and like Alexander
the Great drops his conquest to move
on for marder and newer fields to con-
quer.
This philosophic gypsy capitalist is
Lindsey Hopkins who has just re-
tired as head Of the Cadillac interests
i'll Georgia for the sole reason that the
business is running along so success
fully and probably that it interests
him no longer. He has sold it to
Massrs. Holt and Rawlings, of San
dcrsyille, who have come to take
charge of the Atlanta headquarters.
But i'll Lindsey Hopkins case the
word retire" doesn't mean to go back
and sit down, 1t means simply tha:
he will get husiar than eyer hefora
hut in q new direction. This time it is
big motion picture producing interests,
and incidentally, the extension of his
enterprises as an investment banker.
Although young man, Mr.. Hopkins
has already piled up enough completed
achievements to fill the entire life I
half q dozen ordinarily successful
business men.

FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE
ARE TOLD HOW TO REGAIN
STRENGTH AND VIGOR.


Mrs James A Smith, of Oakland,
Cal, says:-"My husband, now eighty
two years of age, is a retired Vet
eran of the Navy, and he has been
strengthened and benefited a great
deal by Vinol, My long experience
with first class physicians and nurses
enables me to discriminate in medi-
cines, and I must say Vinol has
proved its wonderful qualities to
relieve and strengthen the whole
system under very trying circum-
stances When the blood is thin and
needs strengthening and to build up
a depleted system, nothing equals
Vinol"
Nothing equals Vnol to strengthen
old people because the tonic iron, the
medicinal properties of fresh Gods
livers, beef peptone and mild native
wine which it contains are the very
elements needed to rebuild wasting
tissue and create strength.
We ask every feeble, aged person in
Americas Americas to try bottle of
Vinol, with the understanding that we
will return their money if it fails.

TWO HUNDRED IN
FIRST LIST FOR
TRAINING CAMPS

NEW YORK, March 13.-The names
OF some two hundred men, many of
them prominent in various walks of life
who have enrolled for the first South
ern military training camp, at Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga. next month, were
given out today at Governors Island,
the headquarters of the Department of
the East. The encampment at Fort
Oglethorpe will be along the lines of
the one held at Plattsburg, n. Y. last
summer, which proved so successful as
to have apparently become an annuar
fixture. The Southern camp will open
Oil April 3, and from then on till the
Both of June there will be three
camps, each continuing a month. A
junior division will also encamp at
Fort Oglethorpe from July to Aug
ust Sth.
Major-General Leonard Wood, COM
handing the Department of the East
will be present for a week or more at
the opening of the camp, and will give
it his personal attention throughout.
In command will be Lieut. Col Hen
ry T. Allen, of the 18th United States
cavalry, who was recently on duty with
the general staff at Washington. The
lieutenant colonel was formerly mill
tary attache in Berlin and Petrograd;
he was organizer of the philippines
Constabulary, with the rank of briga-
der general, and he was one of the
leaders of the first expedition to locate
Mount Mckinley, in Alaska. He is well
known as a polo player, a race rider
and hunter.
Fort Oglethorpe is just across the
BORDER from Chattanooga, Tenn, and
tie site of the camp for the civilians
Will be on the famous battlefield of
Chiokamauga, not far from Lookout
mountain.
Fort Oglethorpe is now garrisoned
by the 18th United States cavalry, and
since the terrain is peculiarly suited
for the purpose, special emphasis will
be placed on work in field artillery and
cavalry. Men who are familiar with
horses will be permitted to entei di-
.ectly into special course in cavalry
training to continue throughout the
period Of the camp. This fact has APP
pealed strongly to Southerners.

healing, to wounds. Boric acid is
mild and safe in its action. promotes
