THE RULE or THE
GREEKS IS BEST
ISSUED by the Georgia State Board of
Health


Healthy
Nothing 100 much" was the motto
of the ancient Greeks. They must
have lived up to it, too, for no race
has ever surpassed them in physical
development, and, everything consider
ed, perhaps, no race has ever surpassed
them in mental attachments AS ath-
letes, as warriors, as scientists, as men
of art and letters, they were right
there with the goods every time.
Nothing too much" is a motto that
should be adopted by all Georgians. If
it were, the length of life of our citi-
zens would be very greatly extended
and wild joy of living" would be ex-
perienced by all.
The tendency to go to extremes of
various kinds is well marked among
us. Some wear too many clothes, some
too few; some eat too much, others
starve themselves either deliberately.
in an fort to reduce, or through eating
the wrong kinds of foods.
Too much excitement is not good,
but on the other hand the simple life
should not be carried to extremes.
Too much sleep and too much wake
fitness are both bad, as are also too
much work and too much play.
In fact nothing too much" is an all
around good rule to live by, and the
State Board of Health heartily COM
mends it to the people of Georgia and
advises them to follow it if they would
be healthy, wealthy and wise"

| Chautauqua of the South believes tina
music is the moving power to thii
primal means. Hence the first steI
has been the organization of Chora
society, the next to get symphony or
chestra and group of singers of the
| first rank to make up musical pro
gram that will blend the truest, high
est art with power to move the hearts
of the people to united striving.
In the formation of the musical pro
gram the Chautauqua has had the CO.
operation of Alfred Hallam, the must
cal director of Chautauqua Institution
Lake Chautauqua, N. Y; James R. Gil
lette and other friends, in organizing
for the first session an experimenting
festival for the South. 1t has been the
one aim to get artists both great and
popular, who can stir the heart to the
utmost.
The Russian Symphony orchestra
which has been secured for twelve ap-
pearances, is composed of fifty music
ians, all Russians, with the famous
Modest Altschuler as their conductor
Through their native Slavic and eau
casian symphonies, they express the
primal power of their great empire
cooperation. 1t Is probable that no or
chestra IN all the world stirs audiences
so powerfully as the Russian Sympho-
ny. 1t has dash and soul and the fact
that it is coming to the Chautauqua in
tact is an event in the South's musical
history.
The Ghautauqua Choral society has
been organized by James R. Gillette,
and is composed of three hundred
voices. The Choral society will render
the following cantatas and orotorios;
THE Legend of Nacoochee." based on
a North Georgia Indian legend, which
was written by Mrs. Arthur Codington
during one of her sojourns at Mt
Airy, Ca, and put to music by James
R. Gillette. This, together with a
group of folk songs by Myrtle Moses
will be given on March Goth; THE
Rose Maiden" by Sir Frederick Cowen
with the Russian Symphony Orchestra
and "The Elijah" by Felix Mendels'
sohn, with the Russian Symphony or,
chestra on March 91st.

ARMED NEUTRALITY" ASKED
OF CONGRESS BY Wilson
CONTINUED from Page -

arc hardly expected to acquiesce in
such a huge appropriation without re-
sistance. In some quarters this re-
sistance is expected to take the form
of a filibuster, which might be con-
tinued until congress adjourns next
week, though in other circles it is
thought opponents of the administra-
ton will not go this extent in its OPP
position.
In his address the president briefly
outlined detailed plans for protecting
American merchants ships desiring to
enter the war zone. The decision to
provide such protection, the president
said, was brought about partly by the
fact that the Germans submarine cam
paign is keeping American ships tied
MP in Americans harbors, and that such
a condition is unbearable.
The president asserted in his ad-
dress that while he desires peace there
is something greater even than peace,
namely, the protection of American
rights. He merely asked congress to
confer upon him specific authority to
protect these rights, not to declare war,
nor to commit an act of war. The au-
thority, he said, was to prepare the
United States to resist warlike acts OF
ether nations. and to enable ships fly
ing the American flag to pursue their
course as neutrals.
Early this morning a messenger
from the White House informed senate
and house leaders, President Wilson
desired to address congress, and the
Joint session was Immediately arranged

ing appearance punctually at that hour.

WONDERFUL FILM
WILL COME HERE

Stirring episodes of the great Ger
man offensive against Russia, intimate
views of Kaiser Wilhelm and the royaI
family and scenes depicting the eco
nomic and military life of Germany
will be thrown on the moving picture
screen under the auspices of the Amer
icus Times-Recorder at the Opera
House, Monday, March 5th. The films
which are declared to be the most re-
markable photographs that have come
out of Germany, were taken there I'M
der special arrangement with the Ger
man government by w. H. Durborough
press photographer, who traversed over
5000 miles in securing them and pass
ed time and again through fire-swept
regions in an endeavor to get actual
scenes from the front for his American
audiences.
The Durborough pictures are said
by experienced men who have seen
them to show the German army in &C
ton as no other series of pictures
have done. Mr. Durborough traversed
regions devastated in the terrible fight
ing between the Germans and Russians
until they reached the very front OF
the battle line. Step by step the pic
lures takes the audience from Rotter-
dam to Berlin, unfolding the civic
life of the German nation depicting
personages like the Kaiser, the kaiser
ing, the crown prince and crown prin'
cess and men of the German general
staff; passing into the war country anC
showing the German army advancing
against the Russians; accompanying
General Won Hindenburg's army int
Warsaw and General Won Beseler's ar.
my into the triumphant assault on the
last Russian stronghold in Poland

by far the most telling of my pic
lures are those that show intimately
the edvance of the German army into
Russia" said Mr.. Durborough. "HerC
are the wrecked homes of the Musurian
Lake country, the devastated fields, the
refugees returning to them, the on
slaufiht on Novo Georgievsk, perhaps
the most terrible of that entire ad-
vance. The action of the great guns

 As related by those who saw the ac ci1ent, and as was ascertained by the police and neighbors who were sum- moned by the father of the boy while the traces Uf the collision were yet vis- ihle it was shown that the boy was riding a bicycle on the right side O.
 rot Gtor the cuTh. Mrs. Little was driving in the opposite direction en the san.r sGc If tbe street and when the bicycle and the automobile were near each other and the boy was unable on account of the curb to turn further to the right he sought to avoid the oncoming machine by turning to the left. It was al that instant haf Mrs. Little. also with the idea of avoid ing the collision, turned to the right with the result that the boy was struck He was dIagged fifteen feet
 His injuries consisted cf a cut in the nose, which required a stitch. and se- V re shock rom which he had nos re- covered yesterday.
