If a cm rent historian were to take a bird’s eye view of Atlanta with re gard to getting up an encyclopoedic "Who’s "A ho” in America, about the only real material he would find would be at the prison. Also there are about as many mil lionaires out on the hill as guests of Uncle Sam as you can find walking free around the streets. Among the many men who have been in the Atlanta prison whose names are familiar words in America stand out Charles W. Morse, Julian Hawthorne, Lupo, the Wolf, Greene and Gaynor—but why miltiply the lift? NOTICE. The registration books for the current year will close on December lltli, 1915.

STREETS NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—To decrease the number of pedestrians killed by ve hicles in the city streets, of whom there have been 450 thus far this year, Police Commissioner Woods today is- I sued a list of “don’t” directed to both I pedestrians and drivers. Some of his suggestions to chauffeurs are: Don’t imagine that you are a care ful driver, because you shout or toot your horn at a pedestrian crossing in front of you. Don’t forget that the pedestrian also is permitted to use the roadway. Don’t forget that children must play sometimes in the streets. Be ready to stop instantly if one runs in front of you. Don’t fail to slow down at cross ings. Don’t race home after your day’s work. . Don’t fail to examine your brakes oc casionally. Don’t leave an automobile unguarded so that a child can start it. To pedestrians the commissioner rec immended: Don’t vascillate on the approach of a vehicle. Act normally. Don’t forget that the proper place to cross the street is at the crossing. Don’t day-dream while crossing the street; you are liable to wake up in a hospital. WOMAN’S BEST FRIEND.

SYKES DISCUSSES HIS WIFE’S TROUBLE MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL THINKS IT HIS DUTY TO MAKE STATE MENT ABOUT WONDERFUL CHANGE. It is seldom, indeed, that men of prominence, especially ministers of the gospel, willingly express their indebtedness publicly to a proprietary medicine. However, when a medicine obtains that singular purity and effi ciency that is shown by the uniform preparation, Tanlac, statements from our best citizens are to be considered thoroughly commensurate with t be good that is actually being accom plished. Rev. A. H. Sykes, pastor of the Wat kins Park Presbyterian church, Nash ville, Tenn., prominent not only as a minister of the gospel, but popular as a man and citizen who has been true to his friends and every trust ever reposed in him, said recently: “For the past ten months Mrs. Sykes has been in very delicate health, suf fering from bad stomach and kidney troubles, which gradually developed into a general nervous breakdown. At times her condition became alarming, ard I frequently sought medical ad vice, but nothing we could do for her seemed to bring relief. “In fact, she suffered so long and so much that I feel it my duty to let ( everyone know what this medicine has done for her. For several months her condition was such that she had to re main in bed, and as a last resort. I I decided to let her try Tanlac. "I am a conservative man and have always been skeptical regarding the use of proprietary medicines, but this case, has certainly proven an excep tion. I am now firmly convinced that Tanlac is a medicine of great power and extraordinary merit. I do not think I have ever seen anything to give such prompt results. Mrs. Sykes had taken only two-thirds of a bottle of this medicin e when we began to no tice a marked improvement in her con ’ dition. In less than week from the < time she began taking it she was able to sit up and is today able to help with the household duties. Before she > began taking Tanlac she had fearful ■ pains in her side, and suffered con- < stantly from sour stomach and indl i gestion and was intensely nervous, j These distressing symptoms, I am ’ thankful to say, have entirely disap peared, her appetite has returned and ' she seems to relish everything she eats. She sleeps better and is gaining 1 strngth and flesh rapidly. I think it only a question of a short time until ’ her health is fully restored. “Tanlac has certainly proven a re markable remedy in hen case and will do all you claim it. I cheerfully rec ommend it to my friends.” ‘ Tanlac is sold exclusively in Amer icus by Alien's Drug and Seed Store. Tanlac is sold exclusively in Leslie by Leslie Drug Co. ATLfiNTA 53H00LS WILL BE BUT BN DEC. 17 ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 6.—Atlanta’s ' public schools will adjourn for the Christmas holidays this year on De cember 17, and will resume work Jan uary 3. The announcement has been hailed with delight by more than 25,- I” A- - children as it means their vaca tion will be longer than in past years. Perfect Duties* Gentleness and cheerfulness, these come before all mortality; they are the perfect duties. If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. Ido not say give them up, for they may be all you have, but conceal them like a vice, Inst they should spoil the Ilves of better and simpler people. :| - Stevenson.
