 As the law stands how in England the husband can divorce his wife for adultery But a wife may prove her husband guilty of adultery a dozen times over and she will not stand a ghost of a chance of getting a di. vorce. unless she can prove him to have been guilty also of cruelty.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
STRENGTHENED BY DAWSON
EXPERIENCES.

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of backache,
headache, dizziness or urinary disor-
ders you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier and use a re-
liable kidney tonic. There's no other
kidney medicine so we'll recommended
as Doan's Kidney Pills. Dawson peo-
pie rely on them. Here's one of the
many statements from Dawson peo-
pie:
says: Il have used Doan's Kidney
Pills for years and my mother and
father used them before me. When l
caught cold it usually settled on my
kidneys and caused lame back, At
times | could hardly get around the
house because of the severe pains
through my kidneys Ny kidneys act
ed too often and / was troubled with
sfortness of breath. | used Doan's
Kidney Pills and they rid me of the
backache and shortness of breath. My
kidneys acted ali right"

1T is the best all round musical pro-
gram that has been i'll Havana in a
long time. Too much cannot be said
in praise of the entertainment" An
extract from the Atlanta Journal has
this to say: mo glee club in the south
has attained such perfection of ensem-
bic work as the Emory songsters. The
| quality OF voices is not to be ques-
toned. The versatility of the club is
| amazing"
/ The club this year contains better
selection of cocalists and instrument
alists than ever before in its history
The Dawson audience will have an
| opportunity never before offered it, OF
hearing Dixie's premier male chorus
sing its selections from Beethoven
| Handel, or Schubert, as we'll as light
er groups including negro spirituals,
Indian melodies and original campus
ditties. In the instrumental line the
club carries complete concert or
chestra, with a violin soloist who is
a sensation of the Atlanta musical
world. The second half or fun part
of the performance is devoted to a
series Of screamingly funny variety
acts. A play, especially revised for
the club, will furnish the laugh Of a
lifetime The scene is laid on a col
| lege campus, and all sorts of song
novelties. terpsichorean stunts and fe-
male inpersonations are introduced.
The people of Dawson will recall
with keen interest and pleasure the

ago, and will look forward to seeing
the faces of such old members as Al
ton O'Steen, pianist, Dr. M. H. Dew
ey, director, and Ed Lovelace, presi-
