WHY IS THE DINER
USUALLY THE WAITER?
t "Will some one kindly tell m».” asked
the tall man with the sad. sad face,
“why one ran not get a luncheon in a
nulck lunch emporium without spend
ing 30 minutes over a five-minute
mea 1?"
He had emerged from one of the
cases whose sign promises "Short Or
ders Qnlckly Served." and he had a
complaint in his system which he un
loaded on a friend.
“Tve tried ’em all." he ‘continued.
"I've eaten at the place where you put
the fork hack tn the glass of water
after you’ve speared the cold slaw and
wiped the froth off your lips. I've dined
n here the hat < heck tip would pay for
a poor man's meal. Rut the only good
waiter I ever met was named Alphonse,
and I found him In one of Richard
Harding Davis' novels.
"Take this girl who just waited on
me. for Instance, though she's no bet
ter or worse than the Greek biscuit
shooters just around the corner or the
niggers farther up the street, when it
comes to waiting. I was In a hurry,
and I wanted just a small lunch, an
nounced on the card as ready to serve.
"She let me sit there three minutes
and then brought me the card I men
tioned. Then she wont away. I picked
my order, cold roast beef and coffee. I
waited. In four minutes she came back
and heard my appeal. Then she went
away.
"In two minutes she came hack and
inquired: Rare or well done" I said:
Rare.' Then she went away. In five
minutes she brought me bread and but
ter and a fork. Then she went away.
As she passed to wait, on another vic
tim I heseechcd het for a knife, and in
two minutes she brought it. Five min
utes later she brought the beef. It was
overdone. Then she went away. When
she happened to pass I begged for mus
tard. She went back anti got it. Then
she went away. I asked another waiter
please to tell her that I'd prefer my' cof
fee now, as it always keeps me awake
after dark, and in a couple of minutes
she brought it. Then she went away.
1 taught the proprietor's eye and ex
plained to him that a careful mother
had brought mo up to stir my coffee
with a spoon rather than my fingers. So
ho called the young woman, and she
brought the spoon. Then she went
away. I ate my' lunch in six minutes
anti desired to leave, as it was nearly
supper time at home. Rut I had to
send a messenger boy to find that
waiter and ask iter tn give me my
check. She went out and borrowed a
pencil and wrote the check, with a
mistake of five cents in favor of the
house. No; I didn’t ask for a correc
tion The girl had gom away again "

'SCHOOL SICKNESS
MENACE-SUTON
Records Show 32.2 Per Cent of
White and 71,7 of Negro
Pupils Defective.
I
“Grave danger menaces the health
of all Atlanta unless the council pro
vides an adequate appropriation for the
medical examination and treatment of
pupils in the public schools.”
This statement from Superintendent
Slaton, of the city -ehools, today fol
lowed upon the startling report of Med
ical Supervisor Stephens that 32.2 per
cent of the whit'- students in Atlanta
are defective and that 71.7 of the negro
pupils are afflicted similarly.
Superintendent Slaton declared that
if rm further appropriations are made
for the examination and aid of the ne
groes in the Atlanta public schools. It
will be little less than an outrage.
Council has-neglected to take action In
the matter since the examinations had
to be abandoned last April.
Situation Called Grave.
Some members of the board of edu
cation were outspoken in the state
ment that the percentage of defectives
in Hie schools is so high that it. is a
grave proposition 1f the. board of health
doesn't lake radical cognizance of the
situation. They declare that there are
few cities in the country where medical
school inspection is in vogue where
the percentage of dcYectivrs, especially
among the negroes, is higher than here
The superintendent's annual report
urges immediate action by the- hoard
and appropriations by’ council to aid
the doctors and nurses already engaged
in examinations and treatment in the
city’s effort to remedy this situation.
In effect, the report of the superin-
tondent shows that enlarged glands, de- 1
fectlvo teeth, nasal and tonsil troublel
were Ihe chief ailments of the afflicted
pupils. Peducolis, skin diseases. heart |
and hing trouble also are prevalent and
a distressingly large number of chi!’-
dren suffer from malnutrition. Skin
diseases, glandular trouble and ton
silttis as well as some eye diseases are
all infectious.
48.2 Per Cent Treated.
Five thousand four hundred thirty
seven white children were recommended
for treatment in the past year, while I
48.2 pr cent received treatment. Treat-I
merit of < olored children was discon
tinued during the year owing to lack I
of funds.
The report shows that glasses were
fitted to 120 children during the year;
that 120 more underwent operations
upon their tonsils, and that 12S were
treated for adenoids. ,'
The superintendent says that the
method of reaching the defective chil
dren with remedies constituted one of
the most satisfactory results of his
admlnlsiration. Wherever examination
showed the necessity of treatment the
parents were notified and they either
furnished the medical attention them
selves or nurses and doctors from the
board of education were sent to the lit
tle ones' aid.
Free Treatment For Tuberculosis.
rhe board announced one of the most
Important moves of the year's work
In the adoption of Superintendent Sla
ton's recommendation of the appoint
ment of a teacher to the Battle Hill
sanitarium for tubercular patients
Through this action pupils excluded 1
from the city schools on account of tu
bercular trouble will receive free in
struction a' the sanitarium. Similar
action Is to he taken in aid of the deaf |
and dumb children of the city.
The board instructed Superintendent
Slaton to assume supervision over the
Neighborhood I'ntnn’s negro classes

of the m cro schools on Tuesday, Wed

'four new routes
TO PACIFIC COAST
FOR ST. PAUL ROAD
Four new routes of transcontinentaJ
passenger travel is the record of ex
pansion to be set by the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Pau! railway. Follow
ing the maiden trip of the “Olympian,"
which pulled out of Chicago May 28,
1911, three new routes have been add
ed to the great railroad system.
The western terminal of these new
routes will be Los Angeles the south,
Portland. Oreg,, on the north and San
Francisco midway between. A solid
ment for Denver and 'tThe Pacific Lim
ited." a through train for San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles and famous resorts
of California yylll care for the addi
tional service.
The new service will be daily. Twen
ty entire trains, including baggage cars,
mail cars, coaches, chair cars, diners,
tourist sleepers, stndrd sleepers and
observation cars, are required. An ag
gregate of close to 160 cars is required
for the complete service.
The low rates which modern trans
portation lias placed at the disposal of
the tourist, i-olonlst and homeseeker aid
in bringing the West in close communi
cation with the East.
Many’ improvements are planned to
lead westward from Chicago. The ul
timate double tracking of the entire
distance ig contemplated. This will
make the operation of heavy trains
less expensive; curves will be elimi
nated, reducing distance and facilitat
ing the running of fast trains. These
Improvements will necessarily have to
be spread out over a number of years
to lessen financial burden, but will be
undertaken so as to accommodate the
heavy travel to the San Francisco ex
position.
The new routes run through the fin
est of Western scenery and open beau
tiful highways to the coast for the
tourist.

IS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
AND LIVES TO IT
GENEVA. OHIO, June 29.—Cyrus
Bartholomew’, a farmer, was struck by’
lightning and Ilves to tell the tale. He
was plowing berries with a one-horse
cultivator when the storm came up and
kept on at his w-ork, thinking the rain
soon would be over. Suddenly there
came a flash of lightning and Barthol
omew and the horse went down in a
heap. How long he remained uncon
scious he does not know, hut when he
yvas able to call for assistance men
from a nearby’ farm helped him to the
house. His feet were found to be burn
ed badly and it was some time, before
he could use his legs. He also suffered
a wound on the head from coming in
contact with one of the horse’s shoes.
The horse was killed.
ACADEMY GOLD MEDAL
AWARDED TO GORGAS
NEW YORK, June 29.—The gold
medal which the American Academy of
Medicine gives each year to the Amer
ican physician who has performed the
most noteworthy service in his field has
been awarded for 1912 to Colonel Wil
liam C. Gorgas, chief of the army med
ical corps in the canal zone. Under
his direction, the tropical diseases
which killed thousands of workmen in
the time of DeLesseps have been mini
mized and the zone has been made en

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can nnl reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when
It is entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred' Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.
