Girls Need Martins
Liver Medicine In
stead of Calomel

"My experience in work as train
ed nurse" said a young woman,
teaches me that young girls are es-
pecially subject to constipation sim
ply because they omit or neglect the
all-important duty to Nature that
should be performed without fail
every day." " tyaFs1 q ls'1a@s @ J
y And then, after they get bilious and
headachy, so many of them take that
nasty, poisonous calomel that sickens
their stomachs and makes them have
to stay at home while it acts on them.
They would be~very much better off if
they took a dose or 50 of Martins
Liver Medicine, a guaranteed veget-
able medicine which acts gently on the
bowels, without gripping or causing

II have used calomel and its COM

Of its violent action, the sickness it

American Training Camp in France,
Aug. 6.-The rain, which has done
so much to hold up the offensive in
Flanders, has spread it's dripping man
tie oevr the American training camp
For almost a solid week the only
dry day has been Wednesday, when
Maj. Gen. Pershing paid his first fly
ing visit.
There has been distinct touch of
winter in the weather and the men
have had foretaste OF what is to
come in November, December, Janu
airy and February, when the compare
lively few hours of daylight generally
are shrouded in deep gray mists. /
The rains have been good test
for the housing accommodations for
the American troops, all Of whom
however, have been dry and happy.
1t is wonderful to see the transfer

French villages, baras and farm
houses, where the soldiers are billet

The American area in France is
constantly spreading and barracks are
springing up in many places.
The Americans are already learn
ing the art which the French and
British call cafoufage-the art of dis
guise. The tents and the roofs of some
of the smaller barracks are covered
by branches of trees and TWICE so that
they will not be distinguished readily
by aviators.
The rain has not interfered serious
~ with the training of those soldiers
whose camps are located on high
ground.
Today there was bomb throwing

picked French and American teams.

HOPE A FOR SOLUTION
TO THE SCHOOL PROBLEM
ATLANTlANS ARE ANXIOUS FOR
SETTLEMENT OF DIFFICULTIES
BETWEEN COUNCIL AND THE
BOARD 70 EDUCATION.

Atlanta, July 7.-Patrons Of Allan
ta's public schools and, in fact, all
citizens having at heart the best in
terest of the city's system of educa-
ton are evincing deep concern over
the difficulty which has arisen be-
tween city council and the board of
education. These differences, culmi-
mating in the boards sending to coun-
ell resolution asking that body,
which had turned down repeatedly
recommendations Of the board, to sug
gest itself solution of the problems,
has created situation which, it is
generally acknowledged, is decidedly
harmful.
While neither councilmen nor board
members were disposed to discuss the
matter Saturday. it seems to be the
consensus of opinion that somehow a
way out will be discovered. The mat
ter of prime Importance, it is pointed
cut is that Atlanta's school children
shall not suffer on account of the pres
ent lack of harmony between council
and the board and it is not believed
that the Atlanta spirit, which has com
posed other difficulties, will fail to
find a solution for this one.
The board by its resolution has put
up to council the problem of this solu-
ton and interest now centers in what
council is going to do about the mat
ter.
Some two months ago the board
made changes in it's administrative Of
fees, and at the same time made ar
rangement to fill a new position of
business manager of schools, which
position had been found to be neces-
sary in the experience of the board
members for the past several years
Later, a request of council was
made for transfer of funds already
IN the school departments appropria-
ton to pay the salary the new po
sition 1t was denied Two more de-
iliais came from counciA following
fast on the heels of the first rejec
ton Of the boards request for the
rtanGer of funds Each rejection by |
council brought additional criticisms
OF the board Of education.
Then the board took the recourse at
its meeting last Thursday afternoon
Ct sending an IS. 0. s. to council in
the shape of resolution asking coun-
ell to come to their aid. Council was |
requested to suggest a solution OF |
the problem, since the board has been |
criticised for its proposals.
The faction in council which has
led the fight against the school boards !
rlans announced on the same day !
that the board of education, by ask
ing council to solve its problems, had |
virtually admitted that it was incapa- I
able of handling its own problems, and |
ought to resign"
And this is where the situation now
rests What council is going to do
at its meeting tomorrow is a matter of
speculation.
In the meantime the board Of edu-
cation can do nothing but wait till
council acts. The board has put the
neXt move up to council.

RAPIDLY IN EARLY NOW
BOIL WEEVlLS MULTIPLY


Blakely, Ga, Aug. boil weevils
are multiplying rapidly since the rainy
weather set in and the farmers can
hardly expect to get any more bolls
to maturity, unless there should be
an early change in the weather.
The corn peanut and velvet bean
crops are splendid practically all
over the county, though some sec
items in the northern part of the
county went 10 weeks without rain in
April, May and June.
If prices keep their present level
the Early county farmers will have
fat bank accounts by Christmas.

ask for exemption.
If subsequent quotas do not yield
more recruits than the first call it

SHOWING CHARACTER IN HOME
Builder Should Express His Own Ma.
ture And Not Follow Reiening
Style in Architecture.

The essential in the art of home
building is the ability to suit your
own taste-to express your own ma
ture. Your taste may not at all coin
eide with that of your neighbor, but
that is not important. There are as
many individual expressions of the art
that is within one as there are leaves
on q tree, and there is no good reason
why the expression Of the individual
should not continue in the home itself.
For peoples characters do show in
their homes-in the architecture of the
dwelling, the decorations within, the
selection of the furniture, even in the
pictures and the way they are hung.
To persons who are not especially OBJ
servant this fact is as plain as the fact
that n can always detect the pres
ence of feminine fingers in the ar
rangement Of the bric-a-brac, the flow
ers or vase on the stand or the books
and magazines on the library table.
The thing is SO palpably human that
1t is almost impossible not to recog-
niZe it.
It may never have occurred to you
how bound down most of us are by
conventions that someon else estab-
lished without our knowledge or sane
ton and which may or may not repre-
sent Ii ideals. And still we follow
them blindly. But it is a sorry fact
that most people don't build their
houses or their homes to fit their ma
lures. Rather do they try to make
their natures fit into the home which
they pay numerous other persons to
build for them.
They allow themselves to be made
slaves Of convention, style or fad, and
their home Is no more like them-no
more the expression of their lives or
natures-than an automobile is like a
lat-bottom boat. They go to the near.
est architect, who tells them what the
reigning style happens to be at the mo-
ment, as If he were planning to fit
them all with the latest Paris fashions

Opera House yesterday, matinee and
night. 1t is a long, long time since
anything quite so alluring in musical
comedies has been seen in Shreve-
port. \
All the favorable press comments
Of the metropolitan and the smaller
newspapers do not over-praise the
production. There vas a real and
intensely interesting plot, plenty Of
bewitching and graceful music and of
course an ample allowance of all the
latest dance steps. The costumes worn
by the pretty girls were evidently all
quite new and modern, so that in ev-
cry particular Flora Bella" stands
out as a pronounced and pleasing sue
cess. 1t was certainly a high-class
production. Naturally the honors go
to Florence Weber, who is starred
as Princess Monja Demidof and she
is wonderfully well supported by John
R. Philips as Prince Nicholas Demi-
doff. John L. Kearney as Count Serge
carried the comedy role with excep-
tional talent. Daniel Young as Kos
enoff is a splendid character actor,
while Hughie Roman gave a capital
performance as Ludivac. The two
special dance artists are Rob Buch-
anan and Mildred Shelly who were
the star performers at 1.-THE Sign Of
the Golden Calf" One of the best
vocalists among the s~oloists is Rhoda
Nicholas, who has a rich, well-trained
soprano voice and is a decided &C.
QUESTION to the cast. An augmented
orchestra added greatly to the effec-
tiveness of the performance.
Possibly the most pleasing and sur
prising feature Of the production is
the finale, which is decidedly out Of
the ordinary. The full chorus APP
peared ut the opening Of the third act
in a spooky number, "Creep, Creep,
the Worlds Asleep" with appropriate
lighting effects. Then they disap-
peared leaving the prince and prin-
cess to complete the plot in a manner
that was totally unexpected and was
as fine q bit Of acting as has been
seen here in many q long day
