pageant was a sort of burlesque on
the domestic troubles of Adam and
Eve; Adam was blamed for large
share of humanity's woes, to the
great delight of the audience. But
the only criticism heard from those
who witnessed the show was that
few of the dramtis personnae
were a trife overweight to properly
convey the Illusions of their roles.
But the costumes, it was declared,
were historically correct, as befitted
the time indicated.
Some of those taking part ex-
pressed great indignation today at
the provincial criticism" being
heard.
Would you have Adam and Eve
clad in woolens and furs?' demand
ed one of the women. ITS really
too ridiculous to discuss"
But it is being discussed over the
North Shore nevertheless, and quite

Revised License Fee

1t develops that a construction diff
ferent from that of the casual reader
of his instructions has been put upon
the automobile license act by Secre-
tary of State McLendon, modifying
the charges for this years license tags
as computed from his published list
and printed in the Times Recorder
Tuesday. The law provides that
minimum tax of SLIPS shall bi
charged for all cars of % horse power
or less, and that so cents per horse
power shall be charged for all over
% horse power. 1t was assumed that
the tax could be correctly computed
by any person knowing the horse
power simply by adding to the mini
mum charge of SLIPS the amount
by multiplying the excess horse power
by so. However, the secretary of
state is constituting the law to mean
that all cars in excess of % horse
power shall pay on the basis of so
cents per horse power for the total
horse power. Computed on this ba-

Either One, If Given Too Much Food
and Little Exercise, Will Soon Be
Sick, He Declares.

John Pomeroy, the celebrated New
Zealand scientist, whose new health
theories and medicine, Puratone, have
caused such a sensation in Georgia
during the past few days, said re-
Gently:
Man is nothing but an animal
of the highest order to be sure-but
he was never intended by nature to
be smut up all day long and have all
the food he could eat without eXercis-
ing his body sufficiently to consume
it. No animal can stand this. Take a
dog, for instance, let him run wild
in the country and he will wolf down
his meals and never be sick. Shut
him up in the city and make a parlor
pet out of him and what happens? He
gets sickly and shifts disgustedly at
the food you offer him. He is subject
to many diseases and is lazy and dop-
ed with food. Most people of today
are in the same condition-iterally
doped with food. They are half
sick and don't know what is the mat
ter with them. Take my word for it,
it is their over-wOrked digestive ap-
paratus that causes the trouble.
Understand me, however, my med
icine is not a 'cure-all.' There are
some forms of illness which it will not
overcome, and when | meet a person
SO afflicted / tell him so frankly. l
will not accept money from any one
whom | know cannot possibly be bene-
fitted by my preparation"
Among the many Pomeroy con-
verts already made during his short
stay in Georgia, is Alfred M. Allen,
who lives at No. 16 Eleventh street,
in Columbus, Ga. Mr.. Allen told Mr..
Pomeroy that Actually l was in such
dreadful health, | could not do any
work for five years. But thanks to
your Puratone, | am now getting
ready to go back to work again.
Eyes, SIR" continued Mr.. Allen, as
he enthusiastically related his story.
"Your Puratone has made me feel
like man made all over again. For
six years l suffered with about the
