NO STRIP TO THE
WAIST FOR LADIES
ATLANTA, 0a„ Dec. B—The several
1 undred young ladies who are teach
ers in the public schools of Atlanta
have announced firmly that they are
not going to "strip to the waist" to
he examined by Dr. W. N. Adkins,
medical director of the public schools,
and that the whole strip-to-the-waist
idea, which they say originated with
the young doctor, and not with the
board, is useless and unnecessary.
It appears that the protest of the
teachers is going to be upheld, and
that if any such medical examina
tions are required provision will be
made for each teacher to be examined
by her own family doctor.
The "strip-to-the-waist” idea was
something new in school medical ex
aminations in Atlanta, and spread con
sternation when Dr. Adkins announced
that such was going to be his method.
Dr. Adkins stated that he was merely
carrying out the wishes of the board,
but members of the board say today
that Dr. Adkins exceeded his author
ity, and went further than the board
had intended.
"If Dr. Adkins has ordered any of
the owmen of the board to appear be
fore him, stripped to the waist, he has
exceeded his authority,” said Mr. Ter
rell, of the board.
Our Advice Is:
When you feel out of sorts from consti
pation, let us say that if
do not relieve jou, see a physician,
because no other home remedy will.

THE AMERICU3 DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
ME CRAZE HIS
SPREAD OVER CITY
LONDON, Dec. 8. —The craze for
the revue has extended from London’s
variety theatres to conservative play
houses. Five of the leading West End
music halls took up the revue early in
the craze, leaving only three true to
variety, and now a well known comedy
house, which has brought out more
sjccessful light plays than any other
in London in recent years, has just
announced a revue, making the fourth
legitimate theatre to go over to the
revue as against the seventeen produc
ing plays and musical comedies. The
revue lias swept all before it in the
suburban and provincial theatres.
The English revue is quite different
from its French original. It lacks the
wit, political satire and topical hits
of the French and simply aims to
amuse an audience of the tired busi
ness man type. In its general scheme
it is little more than the conventional
English musical comedy robbed of its
I
remnants of plot and made frothier
than ever. Its trimmings either come
from or are modeled on New York. A
knockabout comedian or two, a dap
per actor with a good voice for senti
mental songs and a chorus of girls,
who appear in new costumes at every
entry, go to make the current revue.
The chorus man has almost entirely
disappeared, owing to the prejudice
against "slackers,” or men of military
age who are not “doing their bit.” In
one of the road companies to appear
here recently the male chorus was
composed of small boys, dressed in
the latest Piccadilly cut. But girls
ordinarily take the place of chorus
men.
Revues apparently fill a niche of
their own in war-time. Officers on a
short visit from the front or just out
of the hospitals or away from the
camps ,and soldiers on similar leaves
seem to crave mental relief of this
sort. They make up by far the most
of the male part of the audiences.
Manners are informal at the revues,
ar.d smoking is allowed, which are
further attractions.
American influences predominate in
English revues. American dances, rag
time songs, slang and even a touch
cf twang in singing are not more not
able than the striving for rapid action,
novelties and surprises in costume and
scene that are typical of the American
concoction.
The word “some” in its American
slang sense figures in many of the ti
tles of these revues, and the past week
s copyright infringement case was
heard in court where the proprietors
of the rights to “Splash Me,” sued the
producer of a similar revue called
"Some Splash.” “Some Glee,” was the
title of a revue appearing in a district
theatre at the time this case was he
ir g heard.
MARRYING ON A RARE
SOMETHING VERY NEW
ATLANTA,, Ga D,ec. B.—The Geor
gian says that Miss Ruth Akin, a
prominent Brunswick society girl, and
Robert E. Hightower, of Thomaston,
v.ere married Sunday “on a dare,” af
ter a quick auto spin from Smyrna to
Thomaston.
The young couple bad been engaged
but no one suspected that they were
to marry before spring. The Geor
gian says that Mr. Highlower called
the young lady on the phone, and
during the conversation said he would
like to steal her.
“I dare you to,” she responded.
“I wouldn’t take a dare from you,”
he answered and a few minutes after
ward has provided the automobile and
the preacher.
Miss Akin is the daughter of Sena
tor and Mrs. L. R. Akin, and Mr. High
tower is in the cotton business.

TO TEACH ENGLISH
IN CUBAN SGRDOES |
Brunswick, Ga Dec. 8. —That the
English language, which during the
American occupation was decreed by
1 military order should be taught ih the'
1 public schools of Havana and wfiien
' recently was abolished in all grades
1 except the eighth will be restored to |
| tl e curriculum soon, is the opinion of
■ E. G. Laird, who has returned from'
a several months’ visit in the West
' Indies.
Mr. Laird declared that the English
language was abolished from the Ha
vana schools at the instance of Senor
Garcia, superintendent of public in- j
struction, who claimed it was an un
necessary adjunct to the schools cur- 1
riculum. He says that President Men- 1
i ocal has ordered an investigation of
, Garcia’s action. Since the teaching
, of the English language Is a consti-,'
. tutional law, It is realized now that :
: only the action of the Cuban congress 1
can abolish it.
Storms of protest, Mr. Laird de- :
dares, have been made by the lead
, ing dailies of the United States at the
action of Garcia. A number of them, :
he says, have hinted the language was
abolished because of Garcia’s dislike |
for Americans. “It is a well known |
fact in Havana,” declares Mr. Laird, ;
“that Garcia has expressed this dis- ■
like for the liberators of his country, j
i but I am confident the language will,'
hr restored during the coming year.” '

ANOTHER THIN, FRAIL, NERVOUS
AND PAIN-RACKED WOMAN RE
STORED TO HEALTH.
“Honestly I am getting so fat I am
really ashamed to tell you how I have
gained,” said Mrs. Nettie McGarr, who
lives at 1806 Eighteenth avenue, North,
Nashville, Tenn., a few days ago.
“Actually it has gotten to be a reg
ular joke, for I have gotten so stout
that my clothes are too small for me,
and every dress I wore lasi winter will
have to be made over again,” she con
tinued, “and the change in my gen
eral appearance is so wonderful tha:
my friends and neighbors are all won
dering what I have been doing with
myself. When they ask me I just tell
them I have been taking Tanlac, and it
is a fact, for I have just finished my
third bottle and have gained 33
pounds.
“When I began taking the medicine
I only weighed 105 pounds, and now i
weigh 140, and never felt better in my
life.
“I always enjoyed very good health
up to about two years ago, when I be
gan having indigestion, which gradu
ally developed into a bad form of
stomach trouble. This trouble be
gan pulling me down and I finally got
so I could not eat anything at all,
scarcely, and had to diet myself con
tinually. I had to avoid sweets of all
kinds and always after eating I would
suffer for hours.
“I was also very nervous and dizzy
and was easily tired. I finally got so
weak 1 could not walk any distance
v. ithout resting. My kidneys must
have been affected also, for 1 had se
vere pains in my sides and back.
“My sister, Mrs. Minnie Hall, came
so see me one day and she looked so
well I asked her what she had been
taking. She told me Tanlac, and I
made up my mind right then and there
to give it a trial.
“Acting on her advice 1 bought a
bottle and have been taking it regu
larly since, if course I expected it to
help me, but if any one had told me
that there was a medicine on earth
that would have helped me like Tanlac
I would not have believed them.
"The medicine seenie.' to be just the
oi.e thing I needed, for filled me with
new life and energy from th very first
dose. In only a few days my appetite
returned and I began to enjoy my
meals und everything seemed to agree
with me and nourish me.
“I am no longer nervous and dizzy
headed, like I was, and can now sleep
like a child. In fact, I feel just lik ■
a person who had been made all over
again. I hope every suffering woman
will hear about it.”
