BOARD OF TRADE
MEETS TONIGHT
Matters of General Interest Will

The regular monthly meeting of the

SI JIME It REFRESHME\T.
It must be a dainty morsel to tempt
us in the hot summer afternoons and
evenings, and yet an appropriate lit
tle spread is just the tiling to refresh
one on an oppressive day.
It is impossible to buy fresh bis
cuit or wafers in bulk. To he good
they must be newly baked and per
fectly protected.
The National Biscuit Company
comes to the resuce with biscuit and
wafers of all kinds in moisture and
dust-proof packages that so preserve
their oven freshness, that their real
age dates only from the time the
package is opened.
Perhaps the most popular for the
summer season are Social Tea Bis
cuit. For porch or lawn, picnic or
Party, luncheon, supper, tea or des
sert .they are equally good and al
ways appropriate.
Social Tea Biscuit should be served
from the original package if you
wish to enjoy them to the fullest ex
tent, because when the box is opened
and the crisp little biscuit eaten at
once, it is just like taking them from
the oven. All their "goodness and
flavor is there for you to enjoy. The
package itself is so artistically de
signed that its attractive appearance
alone would prompt you to serve
Social Tea Biscuit in this way. The
first trial will suggest to you at once
the various uses and occasions for
which they would be just the thing.

MUST TELL OF THEIR
MARRIED LIFE
Postmasters Reply to Questions
Concerning Married Life.
WASHINGTON, I). C.. August 12.
Merritt O. Chance, chief clerk of the
Postoffice Department, several months
ago sent out to all the postmasters
in the country a list of questions ask
ing for certain Information to be
used in the preparation of the gov
evrnment “Blue Book,” which is pub
lished every two years. One of the
questions in the list was:
“What are you marital relations!”
The object of this particular ques
tion to find out whether the post
masters are married, single, widowed,
or divorced. But some of the rural
postmasters do not understand the
object of the question. Mr.. Chance
today received several answers, in
which the i>ersons addressed endeav
ored to give a clear and lucid ex
planation of the status of their mar
ried life. One postmaster said his
domestic affairs were “fine and dan
dy.” Another not so fortunate, re
plied, "Fairly middling." A third
postmaster filled in the blank space
after the question about marital af
fairs with the word, “Hell.”

AMERICLS IS LIKEWISE TIED
I
Messages to the Larger Cities Are Not
handled
i Local Offices Remain Open, Bui Larger Offices Being Closed By Strikers
There Was Nothing Doing.
Americas felt the effect yesterday
of the strike of telegraphers in the
almost complete suspension of busi
ness at both the Western Union and
the Postal Co's offices. The doors
remained open all day, but there was
nothing doing "on tick” on the in
side,
There was, practically, complete
paralysis here in lines telegraphic,
and this condition will continue while
the strike lasts.
All over the country the strike
seems to have spread.
Yesterday morning Americas got
the tip that Savannah and Augusta
operators had joined those of Atlan
ta and other larger cities of the state
already ‘out on strike, and business
telegraphic is tied up not only in
Georgia but elsewhere.
From New York to 'Frisco the op
erators have struck out.
Shorter working hours and increas
ed wages, in their demand, and at
which the companies balk.
While the operators in the Arneri
cus offices had not actually struck
yesterday they could not handle
messages to distant points on ac
count of the strikes there. The only
offices with which they could do busi
ness were the small towns in this
vicinity.
No messages, so far as known, went
or came from the East, or even from
the larger cities in Georgia.
How long the strike will last no
one can tell, of course, but as both
the strikers and the two companies
seem determined the fight will be a
bitter one, lasting a long while.
The strikers state that their con-
ARMY OF GUARDS
FOR HER FORTUNE
Proposes to Do as She Pleases
and Will Defy Interference.
NEW YORK, August 12.—Surroun
ed by an army of guards and lawyers,
whose constant attendance makes it
almost impossible to serve papers on
her, Mrs. Julia Watt Morris Curtiss,
one of the three prospective heirs
to the $50,000,000 estate of Mary G.
Pinkney, is defying any attempt to
have her declared incompetent and
to take away from her the control of
her immense fortune. Mrs. Curtiss,
who has been* married twice, has a
son, Louis Morris, by her first hus
band, living in Fairfield, Conn., and
Mrs. Curtiss' lawyer intimated today
that they believed Mr. Morris has
begun proceedings against her" in
Connecticut on the ground that she
has recklessly squandered huge sums
of money during the past year.
The assertion that she had spent
$350,000 in the past year, a thousand
dollars a day—was denied by Mrs.
Curtiss.
Mrs. Curtiss, who is a niece of
Miss Pinkney, divides her time be
tween her handsome residence at No.
142 West Eighty-sixth street, and a
luxurious suite of rooms In the Sa
voy hotel. She never leaves her
home unless accompanied by one or
more lawyers or retainers to guard
her against reproach.
NATURE fPARES
The Stricken Hone From Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature
It is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover, in the height of its
blooming glory, that a' canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women, hut thanks to the in
vestigations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction is now known to he
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro’s Herpicide
absolutely destroys" this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as na
ture intended. Sold by leading drug
gists. Send 10c. in stamps for sample

tention is for an eight hour working
day and 15 per cent, increase of
wages.
The following statement of the sit
uation has been issued by the gen
eral manager of the Western Union
Telegraph Company.
"On July 23 an operator at Ix>s
Angeles was charged with maliciously
delaying traffic. As a careful inves
tigation, which occupied several days,
showed he was guilty of deliberately
obstructing traffic on an important
circuit, he was discharged.
“A petition signed by other em
ployes of the office requesting his
reinstatement was thereupon pre
sented to the local superintendent.
“When the signers were advised that
the company would not tolerate the
malicious delaying of important mes
sages and that the discharged opera
tor would not be' re-employed, the
majority of the operating force quit
work without notice.
“Operators were sent to take their
places from nearby points, and at 11
o’clock last night the operators in
the Chicago office, acting in conform
ity with the resolutions understood to
have been adopted by the local un
ion organization, refused to work
with non-union men in Los Angeles.
“When this was insisted on, they
quit in a body.
“The Chicago operators have pre
sented no grievances and the present
movement is an attempt to enforce
the closed shop rule, which, if suc
cessful, would take the control of
the company’s business out of its
hands. B. F. Dillon,
“District Superintendent.''
PROHIS IN FEAR AT
EFFECT OF BILL
Amazed at Wright’s Measure
and Discuss Effect.
ATLANTA, August 12.—The mem
bers and officers of the Fulton Coun
ty Anti-Saloon League are consider
ably stirred up over the action of the
House of Representatives in incor
; porating in the general tax act a
provsion taxing clubs where intox
i ieants are kept in lockers S3OO a
year.
In an interview Vice President Mc-
Cord of this league declared that
such a license would amount to
authorization to bling tigers to con
duct tlieir illicit business in spite
of the state prohibition law.
Social clubs, he said, would spring
up all over the state merely as sub
terfuges, for the purpose of dispos
ing of intoxicants and the very end
and aim of the state prohibition law
would be defeated.
Mr. McCord and other members of
the league did not comment, however,
on the fact that this amendment to
the offered by Mr. Wright of
Floyd, one of the state prohibition
leaders In the House.
