Atlanta, Sept. 5.-Young men in
The states comprising the department
Of the southeast who are ambitious
TO enter the aviation arm of the SER
vice should make their ARRANGEMENTS
TO be in Atlanta on the night of Fri
day, Sept. IA, when an examination
OF applicants will be conducted in
Taft Hall by Major l. II. Jones, of
the aviation section.
1t is a mistake to suppose that
Uncle Sam has received so many APP
pliCants for the air service that he
can use no more. The great airship
building program now under way
calls for 10000 to $4,000 aviators, and
the government wants all the good
men it can get. Major Jones is max
ms a tour of the different military
departments of the government, and
i'll the southeastern department his
only stop will be in Atlanta.

A GREAT MEDICINE

That most successful of all medic.
ines for Womahs ailments, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
owes its origin to a botanic recipe
which came into the possession of
Lydia e. Pinkham about fifty years
ago.
This recipe had proved so effective
in the practice of skilled physician
that Mrs. Plnkham procured the
herbs and stepped and prepared them
Ill true old time fashioned on her
Kitchen stove for her friends and
neighbors who suffered from wom-
ans ailments. The fame of the yir-
tues of this wonderful medicine
spread, until today it is recognized
as the standard remedy for woman's
