The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1918-03-13

Monday night the Odd Fellows
Hall was the scene of one of the best
attended sessions Of the newly organ
lied Chamber of Commerce, many
new faces being in the audience that
greeted President Griner when he
called the meeting to order.
President Griner outlined the work
waaich the organization proposes to
do during the year, and made it plain
that nothing will be left undone to
make 1913 a remarkable year in the
annals of the city and county.
Vice-President J. c. Brewer was
given the honor of introducing the
speaker for the evening, the Hon.
Edward Y. Clark, of Atlanta, and did
SO in his we'll known, smooth style.
Mr. Clark, whose reputation as a
community builder and publicity ex-
pert, has long been recognized in
Georgia and whose remarkable sue
cess in community development work
has been household word in active
community. organizations, delivered
an address that will bear fruit within
the year,. from which the city and
county will reap large profit, or the
writer is poor prophet.
Concentration of purpose" said
Mr.. Clark, SIS one of the first prin-
ciples, whose honest application will
bring direct results to the commu-
nifty which will give itself to the
conscientious application of its many
sided uses. Cooperation of all local
interests for the common good will
produce individual as we'll as commu-
nifty success, and when the citizens
of Fitzgerald coordinate for a short
period personal ambition to the gem
,eral welfare, a city may be built here
second to none in South Georgia.
"Fitzgerald's geographical location
warrants the establishment of a great
trading center; its established COM
mercial institutions are of kind and
prominence that beget the confidence
of the public, and the greatest op-
portunity lies within the reach of the
city, if its people will but for a sea-
son give those opportunities a fair
chance to assert themselves"
Mr.. Clark spoke for nearly an hour
and received the closest attention,
frequently interrupted by outbursts of
applause.
The local musical clubs furnished
delightful entertainment during the
evening. The ukelele club, composed
of Misses Spiller, Wise, Howell and
Jones, and Homer Waters with COM
bination musical stunts, and the High
School ukelele club, composed of
Thelma and Eulalie Dorminey. Kath-
rine McCarty, Louise and Derrick
Jones, Athleen Dickcy, Grace Benton
and Marguerite Jones. Both clubs
rendered some delightful numbers
and earned the applause which was
generously accorded at the close of
each number.

Leavenworth. Ind.-Mrs. Hattie
Curtis, of this place, writes: Before
the birth of my first child I was nerv-
GUS and weakly, had been from the
time Of my marriage. I was 80 frail,
l looked like q shadow, my skin vas
sallow, I didn't weigh but one hun
dred and nine pounds. All were uneasy
about me and thought I would get
down in bed.
! had heard what q wonderful help
Cardui was to weak women and de-
clded to try it. I took Cardui four
months regular. I felt like a differ
ent woman. When my baby came I
had q right hard time, but my
strength seemed there to stay, for I
was strong and healthy and have
been yer since.
I now weigh 1877 lbs, and people
who knew me when I was so weakly
often speak Of 1t. And often people
do not recognize me, I look so WELL"

Dear Sister Mamie: Your
SALTS # BACKACAY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink los Of water and stop eating
meat for Z while II your Bladder
troubles you.

When YOU wake up with baciache and
dull misery in the kidney region il gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says q well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re.
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache;
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
Is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
IL cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are Obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night. -.
Either consult q good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
. tablespoonful in a glass OF water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to n~eutralizc acids in the urine 30 1t

No kidney ailment is unimpor

larity. Nature may be warning
you of approaching dropsy. gra'

disease is seldom fatal if treated
in time, but neglect may pave the
way. Don't neglect a lame or
aching back another day. Don't
ignore dizzy spells. headaches,
WEAKNESS or depression. If you
feel you need kidney help begin
using the reliable, time tried
remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills
For 80 years, Doan's have been
found effective. Endorsed by
grateful people.
Mrs. Eli Wilson, 22l f. Fourth
ST., Mountain Grove, MO-, says
II had a bad attack of kidney
