Atlanta, Ga, Dec.—While the
soldiers and sailors in the various
Camps of the country are waiting to
be demobilized, they .will be given an
•opportunity to take advantage of en
larged educational programs which
will be operated in all camps by the
Y. M. C. A.
In the Southeastern department,
which includes the states of Georgia,
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisi
ana, Tennessee, North Carolina and
South Carolina, Prof. A. M. Souby, de
partment educational director, has ad
vised a plan better prepare the sol
diers for civilian life when they are

Under Mr. Souliy’s new program of

classes in various subjects will be in

“Deep Stuff” Is What
Doughboys Read Over There
Paris. —(By Mail.) —Not "best sellers” but serious works is the liter
ary refreshment demanded by the American soldiers in France, now
that the war is over, and our boys are waiting to get back home. The
soldier is a serious-miuded person, with decided intellectual views, all
reports to the contrary. He wants to make his way in the w'orld.
The American Y. M. C. A. in France came to this conclusion when a
group of 300 doughboys, when asked what they would like as light read
ing matter, spoke up with one voice, and demanded books on applied Math
ematics. They were bo much in earnest about it that the Y. M. C. A.
decided to start its first class in practical arts in France. B. H. Morri
son, formerly an instructor in the States Teachers’ College of Greeley,
Colorado, w r as sent for to take charge of the class.
The first real impediment to intellectual research among the buck pri
vates presented itself when it was discovered that there wasn’t so far as
any cdtald find out, an American book on applied mathematics in all
France. There w r ere the French ones, of course, but none should be ex
pected to study French and Mathematics simultaneously. It really isn’t
well to mix drinks from the fort of learning in that way. Mr. Morri
son, how’ever, was undaunted by the absence of textbooks and volun
teered to teach without them until the ones which were wired for im
mediately could arrive from the good old U. S. A.

One of the mo'st important things

Special historical topics will be se

It is also planned by the Y. M. C.

even after they leave the service. This
will be done by correspondence, and
will be undertaken 4n the cases of
illiterates and naturalized Americans
unfamiliar with the English language.
The city Y. M. C. A. secretaries will
aid in this work.
Since the signing of the armistice
the duties of the camp soldiers are
not so stvenuous, and they naturally
have more time at their disposal. This
time will be used to advantage by at
tending the new Y. M. C. A. classes.

in Hospital, But Improved Greatly After
Taking /iron iron Tonic.
In a recent statement, J. H. Martin
of Mount Vernon, Ga., says:
“I was in the hospital with stomach
trouble and had quite a siege. It
seemed I would never get my strength
back after I came out, I had been so
ill. I ached all over. I was nervous,
restless and yqt did not feel like get
ting around. My skin was yellow. My
appetite poor. I was in pretty bad
shape and began to look around for a
tonic. I felt like part of the trouble
was lack of iron in my blood. I was
so easily worried, so easily upset. I
heard of Ziron and knew it would help
me. I began to take it and the im
provement was great. It strength
ened me, renewed ifty nerves and
toned up my system.”
When you feel that you need
strength, remember that Ziron is a
perfected preparation of iron salts,
combined with other strength-giving
ingredients. Try Ziron.
