Page Four WILL ENROLL WOMEN OF CONFEDERACY IN BOOK OF^MEMORY Atlanta. Ga., June 26.-In recog nition of the fact that the women of the sixties rendered almost as much service to the confederacy as did the men who fought, the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association announces that the women who ren dered service to the south during the ixties may be wiemorialized by the ehilldren who enroll in the children’s founders roll of the great confederate memorial at Stone Mountain. The names of the women so honored by their descendants will be inscribed in the BOOK OF MEMORY in the same manner as those oi rthe veterans of the confederacy. As practically every woman of the south rendered ifie class of service Jater known as “Home Service Work,” this means that a large number of the women of the sixties will be eligible for memorialization through the children’s enrollment. In many cases women rendered con spicuous service during the war be tween the states and secured for them selves an enviable place in the his tory of the period. Others participat ed in the nursing of the wounded, in making clothing for those at the front, in all the different phases of activity that went on behind the lines while the men fought and the women waited, worked and prayed. An nouncement that the heroines of tihose times are to have a place in the world’s greatest memorial will please ithose who have desired and re quested the privilege of memorializ ing the women dear to them. A fcumber *f women's names have been sent in already. News of the children’s founders (roll has penetrated to many distant places. Three children living in Swe den were enrolled last week. They are the descendants of a confederate colonel whose daughter's marriage took her to Sweden. Enrollments have been received also from Alaska, Japan, Honolulu, the Hawaiin Islands, Southwest Africa, Mexico, Canada, the Canal Zone, the Philippines and other distant lands were southerners have gone to make their homes. The association hopes that every child in every southern family will be enrolled eventually, as this will mean that every confederate hero md 1 eroine will be memorialized. The cl ild’s name and that of their an’tstor may be enrclled wi‘h each contribution of $1 to the memorial Every c.'ild who err 11s will receive n small l ronze mo lal showing that he 4 s or.o of the founders of tit* great memorial Names and con libations should be sent to The Chi!dr< .’t FounJ'-'a Roll. 604 Hurt Building, Atlanta, Georgia.

THE WALLOONS: OUR NEGLECT ED IMMIGRANT FOREFATHERS To the question of “What is a Wtt loon?” that arises from the issuance by the Un.uo States of a special Hu gucnot-Wal’uon-New NVh > . -hinds ter centenary i ostage ‘tamp and coin and the holding of New York’s Nc.v Netb erlan-s celebration one answer might be “half a Belgian,” acc-rdmg to a bulletin frno the Washington, D , bead'iuart-rs of the Nat enal Geo graphic soncty. “The name ‘Walloon,’ sa->\s the bu'letin, ‘\s little known on this side of the Atlantic, even less so than '‘leming,' tv cause both have been merecd i:i he national uime, ‘Bel fi.n" It is a fad, however, that in stead of t; e Belgians bavin.; racial unity they should consist of two peo ples approximately equall divided spsking jant aages differin ' almost as wdely as Swedish and Spni.-b Rut th.*ugh ravially and Jinguisticall.v the Belgians make up a sort of a *-*»se divided against itself, politically and religiously they constitute as staunch a national entity as does French-Ger man-Italian - speaking Switzerland; and they have stood together thiough' the centuries under various rulers. Walloons Plus Flemings Equal Bel gians. “The Walloons may De said to form the French-speaking half of Belgium, for through a very few in out-of-the way districts know only the French like old Walloon language, modern French has replaced that speech for the vast majority of the Walloons. The other half of the Belgian partner ship is made up by the Flemings whose speech, Flemish, differs very little from Dutch. The Catholic peo ple of Flander, however, have been divided from their kinsmen, the Protestant Dutch, by a religious gulf for hundreds of years and prefer to cleave to their fellow religionists, the Walloons. “An almost straight line can be traced on the surface of Belgium sep arating the Walloons from the Flem ings. It runs from Aix-la-Chapelle, just inside the German border, west ward to strike the French boundary a short distance southeast of Ypres. There is little to indicate this line to the eye of the traveler who crosses it, out his car will soon tell him that he has passed from one language zonp to another. The line marks what was once the edge of a dense forest cover ing the rough land of southern Bel gium. Language Line Crosses Belgium. “To this line the old Walloons—the Belgae of Julius Caesar were pressed by the southward faring Teu tons who took possession of and cul tivated the plains and swamps of northern Belgium. These immigrant Teutons, from whom the Flemish peo ple siiang, did not penetrate ihc for est country, and there the Walloons remained entrenched. Save for iso lated groves the forests havo d<sap peared today, giving place to mines, factories, farms and gardens; but the Flemish-Walloon racial line is almost as sharply marked as it was fourteen htindrd2 Years ago. “The Walloons, in their native land today, are practically all Catholics; but there were religious differences among them in the seventeenth cen tury, and it was fugitive Protestant Walloons who played a prominent part in peopling America. While the Spanish were endeavoring to root out heresy in the Netherlands hundicds of thousands of both Walloon and Flemings fled to the newly set up Protestant Dutch republic, just as some of the Pilgrim Fathers fled there from Ene'and. It was Walloons f;om among tbes* fugitives whr, like the Pilgrims a il 1 bench Huguenots, emigrated to Anericu.

The revolution of 1830 which separated the Belgians from their temporary connection with Hol land was led largely by the Walloons.

It is very appropriate that the birthday of Guiseppe Garibaldi, the Italian emancipator, should fall on Independence day. He was born July 4, 1807. When he was a young man he* came to the United States and af filiated with Tompkins lodge No. 741, Stapleton, New York. Upon his re turn to his native country he became grand master of Masons of Italy and in 1863 was elected grand command er of the supreme council, 33 degrees, of the Scottish rite in that country. Admhsal Farragut, a famous Amer ican Mason, was born on July 5, 1801. His exploits during the civil war gave him a large place in American his tory. John Marshall, the first chief jus tice of the United States, died July 6, 1835. He, too, was a famous Mason, and served as grand master of the contest will he open until June 30, after which the judges will announce the results. According to records of the Na tional Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters 111,276 people have been killed in automobile acci dents since 1907, more than twice the number of Americans killed in the World War. This figure docs not include those killed in grade crossing accidents. While reliable records of automobile accidents re sulting in injuries short of death are lacking, the bureau estimates that close to 2,781,900 persons have been injured in the same period- As the number of deaths has in creased each vear, frofti 598 in 1907 to 15,700 in 1923, Mr> Holland be lieves the time has come when some concerted action should be taken to turn the tide, and so has arranged Aoniss* vvwu/itjg» a ] sufffi’cstions. grand lodge of Virginia in 1793. John Paul Jones, founder of the American navy, and famous sea fighter, was born July 6, 1747. Ad miral John Paul Jones was the first officer commissioned in the American navy, first to command a war vessel, first to run up the American flag over a war vessel, the Alfred, 1775, first and only naval officer named in the act of continental congress creating the new flag—the Stars and Stripes— first to propose and receive a salute to the Stars and Stripes from a for eign nation, France, first to make a British man-of-war strike its colors and surrender to the Stars and Stripes, the Drake, and the first naval officer to receive a vote of thanks from congress. John Paul Jones was a member of St. Bernard's lodge No. 122, Kirkcudbright, Scotland, in which he was raised a Mason November 27, 1770. During the month of July the Ma sonic lodges of the country will be called upon to memorialize many of their great dead. On July 4, 1831, President James Monroe, who was a member of Wil liamsburg Masonic lodge No. 6, Wil liamsburg, Va„ died. Edmund Burke, whose eloquent de fense of the American colonies has made him one of the most beloved, in American hearts, of English states men, passed away on July 9, 1797. He was a member of Jerusalem lodge No. 44, Clerkenwell, London. Robert Burns, the sweet singer of Scotland and first poet laureate of Freemasonry, died on July 21, 1796. He was raised in St. David’s lodge, Tarbolton, July 4, 1781. Roger Sherman, whose name stands conspicuously among the signers of the declaration of independence, and who was made a Mason just prior to the breaking out of the revolution, died on July 23, 1793. General Sam Houston, president of the republic of Texas in 1836 and lat er governor of the state of Texas, passed away on July 26, 1863. He affiliated with Holland lodge No. 1, louston, and was president of the first Masonic convention in Texas to form the grand lodge. Andrew Johnson, president of the United States, who died July 30, 1875, was made a Mason in Greenville lodge N’o. 119, Greenville, Tennessee. While president of the United States he was made a 32 degree Mason in the Scott sh rite by communication, on June 20, 1867, at the white house. July also holds many historic events of interest to Masons. On July 3, 1898, Admiral Cervera’s fleet was de stroyed at Santiago by the American fleet under the command of Admiral Sampson and Admiral Schley. Ad miral Schley was a 33 degree Mason. The cornerstone of the Washington monument in Washington was laid with Masonic ceremonies on July 4, 1848. The statue of Lafayette, the gift to France of the American school chil dren, was unveiled in Paris on July 4, 1900. Lafayette has a brilliant Ma sonic record. The first lodge of Masons was opened in Boston on July 30, 1733. Now ai(l Forty Years Ago. It is easy to imagine that things were heteter in the old days, but when one goes back in newspaper files forty or fifty years ago, one generally finds that living conditions were nothing like as satisfactory as they now are, it was pointed out todav by officials of the Georgia department of agricul ture. Foity j.-.irs ago in Georgia eggs were worth fO cents a do, en and there were few for sale at that price. Eggs are worth around 40 cents now, not only in Atlanta, but in most Georgia cities. Put forty years ago cotton was se.l'ng \.r 10 cents a pound. The price now ; s around 30 cents. That makes forty years ago less attractive to the l.i.su is? view. ‘‘The “pood old days” were not al ways as gejd as one weald like to make them unpear. With cotton at l J cents a pc und there could have been > ! f le agricultural p’osperity in Sick Headache "I have used Black-Draught when needed for the past 26 years,” says Mrs. Emma Grimes, of Forbes, Mo. “I began taking it for a bad case of constipation. I would get constipated and feel just mis erable —sluggish, tired, a bad taste in my mouth, . . . and soon my head would begin hurting and I would have a severe sick headache. I don’t know just who started me to taking Thedford’s BLACK-DRAUGHT but it did the work. It just seemed to cleanse the liver. Very soon I felt like new. When I found Black-Draught ■o easy to take and easy* acting, I began to nse it In time and would not have sick headaches.” Constipation causes the system to re-absorb poisons that may cause great pain and much danger to your health. Take Thedf ord's Black-Draught. It wUI stimu late the liver and help to drive out the poisons. Sold by all dealers. Costa only one cent a doaa. the <cirmui.:iy, for th*i higher price of ei/gs v <ald not compensate for the far" ?.*’a loss on cotton. With cotton at 16 cents ; pound the farmer prob ably barely made ends meet. And forty years ago in Georgia and the south people had but few of the things that go to make life pleasant today. There were no electric cars then, no telephone, no automobiles, no electric lights, no picture theaters, no paved streets and probably no side walks. Then the city’s water supply probably was derived from wells and cisterns, with perhaps the old spring helping out. There were no sewers, and bath rooms probably were few.

DARKEN * YOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took cr. hat dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful ef fect. But brewing at home is tnussy aod out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old preparation, im proved by the addition of other ingre dients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. Well-known druggists say it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Have Kidneys Examined By Your Doctor Take Salts to Wash Kidneys if Back Pains You or Bladder Bothers Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi ness. your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan nels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy here; take a tablespoonful in a ?lass of water before breakfast for a ew days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is, made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with litnia, and has been used for, years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive: can not in jure and makes a delightful efferves cent lithia-water drink. By all means have your physician examine your kid.- neys at least twice a year. NMUT, JUNE St, 1t24.
