“ABOUT TO DIE,
WE SALUTE YOU"
IN MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS
HOX. WILLIAM HAHDKVS TRIBUTE
TO PATRIOTISM.

AA'nrk of Righting History anil
Thwarting Malicious Pnrpo.c* ot
Some —Eloiinent Tribute to Work
of Southern A\ omen—The ( hlldren
of the Confederacy-Memorial nay
\ot a Day for Sport*, hot a Holy
Day to lie Sacredly Observed.
The Memorial Day address before
the Confederate Veterans' Association
and Lafayette McLaws Camp. X-’nited
Confederate Veterans, was delivered
last night in the Guards Hall by Hon.
"William Harden. A large audience
was in attendance and the heartiest
appreciation was shown.
After a brief recital of the war and
•what it had meant, the speaker made
a comparison between Washington and
Robert E. Lee. ( ailing attention to that
great character of the nineteenth cen
tury, who stands head and shoulders
above all Americans of bis time.
The speaker then called attention to
the custom followed by the old Roman
gladiators of saluting Caesar as they
•went to their death with "Hail
Caesar. We who are about to die sa
lute thee.” Upon this the remainder
of the address was built.
“We who are about to die say to
those who come to these Memorial
services ‘Morituri salutamus,' ” said
Mr. Harden. “We who are about to die,
salute thee.’ We greet, then, first the
noble women who have during all
the years since the first Memorial Day
—suggested by n gentle, true, devoted
Southern rights woman—was observed,
have made it the day it is, and with
out whom it could not properly be ob
served.
"The first suggestion that a day be
devoted annually to the delicate and
holy service of remembering the va
lient deeds of the sleeping heroes of
our beloved Southland by strewing
fragrant flowers over their graves
came from a noble Georgia woman.
"Beautiful custom! Sacred day!
Tenderly and religiously observed
without a single lapse since it was
first instituted. Prom none hut a wom
an’s mind, moved by devotion to a
cause dear to her heart, could have
come such a suggestion; and to no
hands but those of lovely worhen could
such a work with propriety be en
trusted.
The Son* of Veteran*.
■'Sons of Confederate Veterans, we
salute you, knowing that in a few
short years from now the ranks of the
veterans will be depleted to such an
extent that no annual parade can be
held by them and that then you will
take their places.
"To your hands we glady commit our
cause, imploring you to see to it that
the truths of history be preserved and
that those truths be taught to the chil
dren of our Southern land as written
by Southern writers and spoken from
the lips of Southern teachers.
"Attention has already been called
to the nSethods employed in some quar
ters to suppress the truth about our
great leaders and to make misstate
ments as to the real cause which lead
to the secession. If you will do your
duty, and we believe you will, you can
do much to hasten the time when
these statements will be corrected, and
malicious purpose thwarted.
“Children of the Confederacy, we sa
lute you. We cannot look long into
your faces. As one by one you reach
the proper age, you will be admitted
to the Sons of the Confederacy and
the Daughters of the Confederacy.
What has been said to them is equally
applicable to you. We charge you to
look well to the work of preserving In
its purity and truth the correct his
tory of that unsuccessful struggle for
the maintenance of state rights."
Not a Day for Sports.
After a salutation to the military
organization and thanking them for
their hearty support, Mr. Harden con
tinued:
“We now address our salutation to
a class which we do not know how
to name. We have no epithet which
we can apply to you. There are those
in our midst who are inclined to make
this annually a day of what may seem
to them harmless sports, but which to
us seem altogether out of place at
such a time when anything approach
ing frivolity should be put aside.
“There Vue holiday and holy days,
and wq who are not only going rapid
ly to our graves, but are holding me
mo! ial services in honor of those al
ready filling brave soldiers graves,
believe that this belongs to the latter
class. We implore you then to observe
It as was Intended when It was set
aside by the Legislature of the state.
Let it be sacredly observed as it was in
tended to be.”
The address closed with a salutation to
the veterans, a peroration patriotic
and eulogistic, praising the deeds of
the fallen heroes and exhorting the
living to always honor them and their
deeds in the observance of Memorial
Day.

Puny Children
Parent* Should Know How to Keep
Children Well —Expert Adivce by
Savannah Druggists.
"We do not wish to blame any of
our friends for that which they cannot
help, but sometimes when we see deli
cate and puny children, we cannot
help feeling that parents are neglect
ful,” said a member of Knight's
Pharmacy Cos., during a recent inter
view.
"It we could nolv make all fathers
and mothers in Savannah regard what
we say, especially if their little ones
are delicate, how glad they would be
afterward. They can make their chil
dren strong and well. They can lay
a ‘oundation stone in their little lives
that will give them joy and happiness
in years to come and they will be
come strong and hearty men and
women if they will only believe what
we say about Vinol and follow our
advice.”
Remember Vinol contains ail the
active curative principles taken direct
ly from fresh cods’ livers without
greas" or oil. and its taste is delicious,
and that is what gives it such power
to assist the stomach of the little
ones to properly assimilate the food
which they eat. It is the means by
which rich, red blood is made; strong
bone structure is built; hard. firm,
flesh tissue is created, and healthy,
sound nerves maintained.
Mrs. Jennie Perse, 169 Newman
street. Mansfield, 0., says:
I wish to add a few words of praise
for Vinol. My little boy was very
much run down, so much so that he
had to leave school. He really was a
mere shadow. I decided to give
him Vinol, and he is rapidly gaining
flesh. I wish to recommend Vinol to
every mother who has puny, ailing
children. ”
Xot only for children but for adults
do we recommend Vinol as the great
est strength creator and rebuilder of
herlth. without reservation, and stand
prepared to refund all money to those
who do not find absolute satisfaction
in its use." Knight’s Pharmacy Cos.
B. & BJRECEIVERSHIP
MAY BE SET ASIDE.
Brunswick Doe* Xot Believe It Will
Interfere With A. * B. Merger.
Brunswick, Ga., April 26.—The ap
pointment of a receivership for the
Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad
has been the sole topic in Brunswick
for the last two days. While some
thing of the kind had been anticipated,
it was never thought that it would
come from the source from which it
did. Col. E. C. Machen, the former
president of the Brunswick and Birm
ingham. the man who built the road.
Just what Col. Machen meant by
this step Brunswick people are at a
loss to understand. It is claimed by
Col. Machen that the road Is Indebted
to him only 33,200 and people here do
not understand why he had waited so
long to attempt to collect the money
when he had ample time before the
road was sold.
Col. Machen. who Is at his home a
few miles from the city, refused tt>
be interviewed on the subject. It is
understood, however, that he claims
his action was due to the fact that
the bonds of the road would soon
pass into the hands of other parties
and then his claim would be worth
less.
It was learned to-day, and has been
known by several people for some
time, that a Jetttlon is filed in the Su
perior Court of Glynn county asking
for a receiver for the Brunswick and
Birmingham. This petition was filed
by the Knickerbocker Trust Company
of New York, which held the Bruns
wick and Birmingham bonds. It Is
further learned that this application
was merely filed to protect the bond
holders and would have amounted to
nothing.
It is not generally believed that the
appointment of a receiver will have
any effect whatever on the deal re
cently closed whereby the Atlantic and
Birmingham purchased the Brunswick
and Birmingham. When the stock
holders held a meeting here March 29
to confirm the sale Col. Machen was
not present, and at that time It was
stated that he opposed the consolida
tion, although previously he was in
favor of it.
No officials of the Atlantic and Birm
ingham are in the city and nothing
further can be learned as to the plans
of the road, but it Is believed that
the case will be fought out in Macon
next Monday by Atlantic and Birm
ingham attorneys and that the
Brunswick and Birmingham people will
not have counsel present, as F. E.
Twitty, who was general counsel for
the Brunswick and Birmingham, is a
close friend to Col. Machen. and will
probably assist in his side of the
case.
The entire matter seems to be rath
er a complicated affair, but it is the
general opinion here that Judge Speer
will throw the entire matter out of the
United States court and that the At
lantic and Birmingham will continue
to operate the road as at present.
CITY BREVITIES.
The Savannah Retail Butchers’ Pro
tective Association will hold a meet
ing to-night at which the officers re
cently elected will be installed, and
when a banquet will be served. The
occasion will he marked by addresses

association.

Grand Secretary Tyson of the Grand

night. He will address a number of

state before the Grand Lodge meets

Brains Count in War.
From Leslie's Weekly.
Does intelligence in a soldier .count?
Are brains worth anything in an
army? Certainly between the reading
habits of the Russian and the Jap
anese soldiers there is a startling con
trast. The little country—a veritable
Lllliput against a Brobdlngnag—has
more schools and more postofflees in
her 163,000 square miles of territory
than there are in “all the Russlas”
of Europe and Asia. Japan has 81 per
cent, of her children under instruc
tion. Over 1.500 men who have taken
the full course in the high schools are
found In the rank and file of the Mi
kado's army, and over 300 graduates
of the Imperial University are en
rolled among the officers. Every sol
dier and sailor can read and write.
With the history and geography of
Korea and China, each soldier under
the banner of the Rising Sun has a
good general knowledge, which began
In childhood. With Manchuria he has
a critical acquaintance. No better
maps of these regions now in debate
have ever been made than those by
the War Department In Tokio. Ten*
of thousands of these easily folded
maps are now In Japanese knapsacks.

CHINESE FOOD PRODUCT*.
Beans a Leading Article of Diet in
China.
From What to Eat.
Dr. Tamei Kin, a Chinese woman
doctor, now studying in America,
gives some interesting facts about
Chinese food products. One surpris
ing thing Dr. Yamei Kin tells is that
Chinese “soy” is made from a sort of
red bean ground up and fermented.
While fermenting it smells much like
sauerkraut, only worse. The ferment
ed product is shipped in large cases
to England, where it is mixed with
vinegar and other products and is sold
as Worcestershire sauce. The Chinese
laborer lives on beans as much as does
the Boston typewriter girl. The bean
in China is more ilke our small round
cow pea. This is ground fine, mixed
with water and a little salt. Then
the water is pressed out and the bean
cake is sold to the poor. This bean
cake may be cooked and mixed with
other things, fish, chicken, etc. It is
highly nutritious, and explains why
the Chinese laborer can endure so
much on so little food. Vegetables are
eaten in quantities, and so are chick
ens and ducks. Incubator ducks being
known in China one or two hundred
years before America discovered the
Incubator. Fish is popular, but very
little meat is eaten. An animal is
never killed to be eatefi until it is too
old to work; hence the Chinese do not
like beef, considering it too tough.
Pork Is. popular, and every family
keeps on# or two pigs.
The Chinese are good cooks and love
to give elaborate dinners. This is the
chief means of entertainment in China.
However, the dinner consists of sixty
courses, and it takes several hours.
The guests are seated at small tables,
and ten courses are served. Then the
tables are cleared and the guests en
joy games, matching poetry being a
very old pastime in China. A guest
receives half a couplet and supplies
the other half. Impromptu verse mak
ing is another favorite Chinese enter
tainment.
Rats and cats are not eaten save by
the very poor in times of famine. The
birds' nests eaten are those of the sea
swallow, who eats quantities of sea
weed until Its craw is full. Then it
selects a high cliff and builds its nest
by throwing the seaweed, which Is
now In a mucilaginous state, from Its
mouth round and round until a small,
clear ball Is made. This ball Is lined
with feathers. The fisherman secures
the nests by means of long poles. They
are cleaned and scraped until they are
like clear gelatine. They are a great
delicacy and only eaten by rich.
They taste much like the Iceland moss
which we eat.
The Woman
with a Habit
Says to her grocer, “give me some soda crackers.”
The woman of thought and thrift says, “ give me a package of
Uneeda Biscuit.’’
The woman of habit gets a paper bag of broken, crumbling
crackers of peculiar flavor, unknown age and doubtful cleanliness.
The woman of thought gets a beautiful airtight package of
Royal purple and white containing the most delicious soda crackers
it is possible for baking science to produce.
They are as crisp and fresh’ and full of flavor as though she
bought them at the mouth of the oven. They have not been
soiled by dust, spoiled by dampness nor handled by unknown
hands. For all this care and cleanliness and goodness the woman
of thought pays but a nickel —s cents.

fashioned habit or the woman who is awake to the interest of her
