FREE CONCERTS
EVERY SUNDAY

Philadelphia, Dec. 4-Philadel-
phia' S experiment Of giving free
Sunday afternoon concerts IN
halls hung with beautiful paint
ings and holding world-famed
statues has met with success.
More than thousand persons
have crowded the galleries Of the
Philadelphia Academy Of Fine
Arts at each Of the concerts given
thus far. In planning the "musi-
cals' the committee Of the Acad
envy wanted to "fll the need Of
music for the people on Sunday"
and to give music in Sympathetic
surroundings "
Although hundreds Of seats are
provided a complete informality
reigns at the concerts. Those so
moved walk from gallery to gal
lery viewing the paintings while
listening to the music. Some Of
the leading musicians in the coun-
try have been engaged. Ancient
Quaker "blue laws keep Phila-
delphia closed on Sunday, it is,
however, permissible to give en-
tertainments where no admission
fee is charged. The concerts will
be continued as long as the con-
tributed funds last.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people fool
ishly seem to think they are going to
get renewed health and strength from
some stimulating medicine, secret nos
trum or narcotic drug, said DR.. E. Sauer
a Boston Physician who has studied
widely both in this country and in Great
European Medical Institutions when. as
a matter Of fact, real and true strength
can only come from the food you eat
But people often fail to get the strength
out of their food because they haven't
enough iron in their blood to enable it
to change food into living matter. From
their weakened, nervous condition they
know something is wrong but they can't
tell what SO they generally commence
doctoring for stomach, liver or kidney
trouble or symptoms of some other all
ment caused by lack of iron in the
bloSd. This thing may go on for years,
while the patient suffers untold agony.
# you are not strong or we'll, you owe
1T to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work or how
far you can walk without becoming
tired. Next take two five-grain tablets
Of ordinary nuxated iron three times
per day after meals for two weeks Then
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained

people who were afling all the while.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL
DENOJNCE SPECULATORS IN
NECESSARIES.
BY Councilman w. Fl. Johnson

BY Councilman w. f. Johnson:
Resolved by the Mayor and
Geneal Coruncil that the City of At
lanta go on record as opposing the
present high cost Of living which is
brought about by speculation and
not through lack of production, and
we urge all legislative, civic and
such other influence as can be
brought to bear to use their influ-
ence with their representatives,
National, State and City to this end.
Further resolved, that such condi-
ton is in restraint Of trade as all
prices are fixed by associations to
control prices and not fixed by pro-
duction or deQand. We further de-
clare against the holding out, or
boarding up such neCessarles for both
man and beast to deplete the amount
on the market until such rise in
price is satisfactory to the manipu-
lators. We urge his Excellency, the
President Of the United tatSes, and
our representatives both in the SEN
ate and Congress to use their utmost
in abOlishing such practices against
the masses for the classes. Copy of
this resolution be furnished our State
representatives in the next meeting
of that body

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

A quiet man, he walked an untried
path
Beset with danger, darkness, and the
wrath
Of friend as we'll as foe. And there
was much
About him that forbade the closest
touch.
Mute as a sphinx, he hid his inmost
thought;
We only knew him as he lived and
wrought.
But how he lived, and what he
wrought, and why,
The watchful world now knows, who
saw him die.
A weary, worn-out soldier Of cross!
It's bitter weight those only guess
whose loss
Means rest, at last to him. All, lowly
Poor,
For you he built; for you. the open
door.
He asked, nay, begged you for your
company,
That you might learn with him how
to be free.
How to be free indeed; and in Gods
time
To free your brother. This is life
sublime.
Hehad a vision! Write it large and
clear.
He had vision, than all else most
dear
This was his one supreme beatitude.
He saw and worked for that; and
from the crude
Uniformed and helpless mass he saw
again
The winged vision live on earth in
How great the need none better knew
than he.
And so he dwelt in proud humility

fed at the growth and progress of the

brilliant lecturer of national reputa-
ton. She will return to the city in Au-
gust to address mammoth women's
