Doan's Pills-a stimulant to the
kidneys. It's evidence that no man
or woman in Americas can doubt.
Mrs. T. L. Bunch, 1909 McGar-

kidneys acted irregularly and I felt
tired and languid. had dizzy
spells, too. My back was sore and
lame and when / stopped I could
hardly straighten. Two boxes of

Once Famous Screen Stars Have
Hard Time Making Both
Ends Meet in Lies Battle

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 2S.-Where
are the famous movie stars of yes
terday?
No fame is more fleeting than
that based on the celluloid film.
Only ten of fifteen years ago
there were Pickfords, Fairbanks,
Gishes, Talmadges, and Swansons.
But now their names hint of flown
ghosts.
A few are happily married, some
have sought seclusion at the corners
0 fthe earth, others still struggle
On in the film world forever grasp
ing at that which has slipped from
chem forever-youth and fame. Sew
eral have dropped from riches to
poverty.
The public had no other movie
star before it fifteen years ago ex-
eept Florence Turner.
But now the film glory that once
was hers has faded with the rest of
her forgotten kindred-Marguerite
Clark, Gene Gauntier, Florence
Lawrence, Mary Charleson, Ella
Hall, Marie Walcamp. Mabel Truns
nellie, Mary Fuller, Helen Holmes,
Lottie Brisco and countless others.
Miss Turner is back at the scene
Of her early triumphs, but not as a
star. She goes from studio to stud
10 seeking employment, but only
now and then does she get work
even as an "extra" at $3.50 a day.
She is still not 35. In 1918 she
went to Europe because of poor
health and started her own film
company. Due to the war it was a
failure. All kinds of misfortune
followed, until Marion Davies raised
q fund to relieve her destitute con-
dition.
''For eight years I have fought
for a chance to come back" she
said with tears in her eyes. "But
nobody wants me. I guess Pm
through"
Gene Gauntier, once known
round the world as star of the
old Kalem company now lives in Sc
clusion at Stockholm, Sweden.
She. too. tried to come back, but
found conditions in the industry 80
changed she could not succeed. For
awhile she tried reporting on the
Kansas City Post, but domestic
troubles and the longing for the
old film life caused her to seek
contentment in Europe.
When Mary Pickford was just
starting in the movies, Florence
Lawrence was enjoying worldwide
popularity.

"The Chamber Of Commerce is
rapidly perfecting a complete Or
ganization, with trained secretary

interested in buying farm lands.
Where are they to go; to whom are
they to appeal for information?
There is no centralized agency
here to meet that condition, one
that will increase as the days go
by" said Mr.. Fort.
A connection already has been
made with a South Georgia con.
Germ which is planning to bring
North Carolina tobacco farmers in
the state, LOvelace Eve, presidenc
of the chamber of commerce, told
the men last night: 1--WE have had
one or two conferences with these
people an dthey say board of the
kind we are now organizing is what
is most needed. These people will
go into the Carolinas seeking out
farmers who desire to come to Geor-
gia-and they tell US there ARE
many-load them into buses and
bring them here. The farmers will
be turned over to the manager Of
this board, who will STOW them
what the board has to offer. If a

board and the tieing up with the bus
company is something the chamber
has been working on for several
weeks" said Mr.. Eve.

Where possible or expedient the
manager will secure options. All of
this information will be listed and

may come into the office, look over
