"Jingoes" Advocating Frenzied Preparedness for War Raked Over Coals in Address at the Auditorium. "Jingoes." preaching their doctrines or frenzied preparedness ior wir, in for a raking over the coals by liam Jennings Bryan, former secretary of state, in his lecture under the auspices of the Atlanta Alkahest Lyceum bureau, last night at the Auditorium Armory. Fully 3,000 people heard Mr. Bryan deliver his new address on "The Kuropean War and Its Lessons." Mr. Bryan pointed out that the new president of the national defense society, which he terms a "Jingo" organisation, has claimed that this country needs to expend $500,000,000 yearly on the American navy and army to prepare for war.

and thus preserve peace. Me said that during ten years the money the "jingoes" wish spent on preparedness would amount to $5, 000,000,000. This amount, the speaker said, would pave one hundred macadam roads running from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast, each road twelve miles apart, and one hundred macadam roads running from the country's northern boundary to the southern, thus making it impossible for any farmer to be more than twelve which to move his products to markets. He pointed out that in this event freight rates would be cut in half by the use of auto trucks. On the other hand, Mr.

Bryan urged a standard of armament in proportion to the nation's achievements and aspirations. He declared that the European war was due to a false philosophy, preached publicly in the past, that He declared that for the belligerent nations the way out of their present difficulties was not through annihilation one of the that the world needed no but that a spirit of friendliness and fellowship must be established through this country as a medium, American influence being used to bring about peace. The need of the world, he said, was new set of arbitration treaties that would make war a remote possibility. In these treaties, as in his thirty Trea ties he has prepared, he said the nations of the world would agree not to declare war on each other until twelve months after the date of the arising of their troubles, and after their troubles had been submitted to an international tribunal. He pointed out that such treaties now exists between the United States, and England, France, Mr.

Bryan left last night for Winston Salem. N. where he will lecture this afternoon.

"Our Wives." which opened at the Atlanta theater last night, is a corking good show with a corking good company and a corking good orchestra. AU this season and running somewhat back into last season Atlanta has been waiting for a good, satisfying show.

It has arrived. It will be here tonight and Saturday night, with a matinee Saturday. The story is simple enough and very laughable. It is full of good situations, clean and witty lines. Telling the story of a show's plot makes irksome and dull reading.

Any one who saw "Our Wives" played here In stock some time ago knows the story of this show except for the part of Patsy, which has been written and the third act. which is necessitated by this part, or rather for which this pail servcs an excellent excuse. The music is all that could be asked Of a musical comedy. The theme an entrancing: iy insidious air, which runs through the entire piece, is typically Victor Herbert, which means something lovers of musical comedy. Tn the orchestra pit there are nineteen Pieces, very ably directed by Harold Levey.

Many scientific theories have been advanced about VKalitas.

In the last two years tests in thousands of cases have proven beyond question its wonderful therapeutic value In the treatment of insidious ills. In fact the assertion is made that nine out of every ten people mai be helped by the usa of Vttalltas. This is based upon thfe scientific claim that three fourths of human ills arc traceable to a lack of mineral elements In the system. Such leads to impoverishment of biood, bone, nerves and tissues generally. Foods today do not give tbe mineral nourishment they did a generation ago.

Our patent flours have only a trace of the mineral parte that whole wheat has; refined sugar is almost robbed of mineral value, polished rice loses nearly its entire mineral nutriment and so with the fining of foods in general. The result is mineral starvation in the system. This, in a measure, explains why Vttalltas is so quick tive. It contains mineral elements that are essentia) to life and health.
