By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER. LONDON, Sept 16. What are the facts concerning Geraldine Farrar? For some weeks past wild stories have been cur rent. In Paris and Milan the popular prlrna donna was reported to be so ill that there was little or no hope of saving her. The announcement that she had been under treatment is a Munich sanita rium seemed to give substance to this tale. W hen it became known that she had can celled all engagements for her projected concert tour her friends, of course' sup posed her case was desperate. "I have learned, however, from an im portant employe of the Metropolitan that Miss Farrar had recovered. "I saw Miss Farrar only a few days ago in Munich, said my informant. "She was then living at the Hotel De Russfe and looked bright and well. It is a fact that she was lately in a sanitarium, and at Iter doctors advice, some weeks ago, she cancelled het concert engagements, hut she assured me she was now in per fect health and there appears to be no doubt, that she will be able to appear on the second night of the approaching opera season: not In New York, but possibly in New Haven." In confirmation of his optimistic state ments, my informant pointed out that Miss Farrar's mother had arrived in Paris. Ts it likely," he concluded, "that she would leave her daughter’s side if the reports you mention were justified?” On the other hand, about a week ago an artist who till lately would have been generally accepted as an authority gave quite alarming news about Miss Farrar to one of the most influential persons con nected with grand opera in America. The truth may He between the two extremes. PAY FOR SOLDIERS IS LONG OVERDUE: ARMY FLAT BROKE If regular soldiers had a vote the per son or persons responsible for adjourning congress before the army pay appropria tion was signed and sealed would feel the wrath of Uncle Sam’s defenders from Seattle to Key West. For the soldiers have not received their pay for some time since it was due. and the army is flat broke. "There isn't enough coin In the Sev. enteenth to start a penny crap game,” protested one private from the post today. “We got a crackerjack << an team, too, but what's the use of bast ball when you’ve got nothin' to bet? We got one satisfaction. The next game’s with the team out at the Federal pen and them guys are worse broke than us.” Business firms catering to the especial demands of the soldiery are feeling the lack of government coin. too. But they are consoling themselves with the hope that when the pay does come it will ar rive in a bunch. And the night after the paymaster shows up will be SOME night. WESLEYAN OPENS WEDNESDAY. MACON.

AGRICULTURE BEING REVIVED IN GEORGIA, SAYS DR. A. M. SOULE ATHENS, GA.. Sept. 16.—The Geor gia College of Agriculture will open on September 18. with the assurance of the largest attendance in its history’. in spite of the fact that last year showed an increase of 43 per' cent over the previous one. Dr A. M. Soule, president, has just arrived from Detroit, where he ad dressed the annual meeting of the American Bankers association by invi tation. Dr. Soule says that there is abundance of evidence that the state of Georgia is undergoing a revival in ag riculture. This is attested by the at tendance of the farmers institutes, the large number enrolled in the corn and tomato clubs, the thousands of inqui ries coming to the college for informa tion about better grades of stock, about how to grow other groups than cotton and corn, and about modern methods in various lines, and also by the report of success from those leading the way in agricultural advancement. Plans are being launched for cover ing the state with institutes for uni versity extension work in various lines to reach more farmers than ever be fore.

Its POST MASCOT IS IN GUAROHOUSE “Fiddler” Has Been Perfectly Good Dog. But Surgeon Fears Pet May Have Rabies. It’s lonesome on the reservation at Fort McPherson these days. The reg iment Is all there, and there’s plenty of baseball, but Fiddler and his friends are all in close confinement. Fiddler is the regimental mascot and has been for twelve years. He is a brown dog with a tail that never stops wagging, and he is the best chum of every man and child on the reserva tion. He is really the property of Ser geant Miller, an old Indian fighter, who picked Fiddler up in Cuba years ago. But every man at the post is hie friend. No: it isn't Fiddler's fault that he is locked up like a refractory private. It’s because a certain mongrel pup went mad and chewed the fingers of ten soldiers a few weeks ago and the sur geon thinks perhaps the pup bit all the other dogs before his head was ampu tated. So Fiddler and all the rest of the four-legged pets of the post are held to see what will happen. They don't like it, as the chorus of doleful howls Informs every one within ear shot of the post. There are lots of dogs, company mascots and private pets, at the post, but Fiddler is the favorite. He en listed in Cuba, has been to the Philip pines. the Texas border, back to Cuba and to Washington and home again. In fact, wherever the Seventeenth goes there goes Fiddler. He is getting ad vanced in age, but he isn’t too old to mascot successfully. And when Fid dler answers the last roll call there’ll be a funeral at the post which even a colonel might envy. . action is the action of fruit—of eating coarse food—of taking exercise It is 1 a true and effective liver and bowel cleanser and regulator. Most folks dread physic—-they shrink from the taste and after effects. Syrup of Figs is delicious, and. besides, you don’t realize you have taken anything until morning, when all the clogged up waste of the system is gently but thor oughly moved on and out of the bowels without griping or weakness. Ask your druggist for the full name. ’’Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna." This is the old reliable and only gen uine. Refuse, with contempt, any oth er Fig Syrup recommended as good. They are imitations meant to deceive you. Read the label carefully and look for the name California Fig Syrup Company. (A"dvert isement.) GEN.

Chamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Co. ATLANTA This FulbGrown Juvenile Department Third Floor Is Ready With Whatever Is NEW for Misses And Children The Juvenile Department shows as one with authority the new styles in suits, in dresses and in coats. It shows these things with the authority that comes of expe rience, of knowledge, of good tatse, of specialized effort. Young folk are its only thought. A mother with an only daughter could not be more painstak ing in her selection than we have been with the hundreds and hun dreds of suits and dresses and coats that makeup this fall stock. We mention this not in the spirit of boasting, but that moth ers may get some idea of the real help that the Juvenile Depart ment can be to her this fall. We mean those mothers who wish to dress their daughters with some smartness, some individu al ity--with some thought. And right now the Juvenile Department is spendidly and beautifully ready to meet the demands of such mothers. There is newness and freshness on every side; styles that accentuate youthful lines, colorings that glorify bright eyes and lovely faces, serviceable, dependable materials that presage winter comfort and satisfaction—in suits, in dresses, in coats for school and every day wear and for those occasions when you and daughter both want something a little different. But these are only generalities, the spirit, the atmosphere of the Juvenile Department' We must call your particular at tention to the Display of Junior Suits Never has young Miss Atlanta had such flattering attention paid to her and to her alone. It is as if her suit were the only consideration of one great, big store. And it draws no line, ex cept that of good taste and accepted style, as to what her suit shall be. Here are the plain and very serviceable blue serges, the beau ty of which lies in the fashioning and the tailoring, here are the “roughish” materials often made into jaunty Norfolks, the more dressy Bedford cords and velvets and corduroys. One unusual suit of blue Bedford cord. It has the Robespierre collar and sash. The coat is belted in EFFECT but not in reality. The but tons are crystal, the buttonholes—it buttons to the side—are finished in green, an attractive color combination. The skirt, otherwise plain, has a wide bias fold of self material. A corded velvet suit of distinction is in the new taupe shade. It shows the cutaway coat modified for Misses’ wear. Ihe back is belted, the long revers and the cuffs are trimmed with black satin and finished with white braid, the skirt has a cluster of plaits at the sides. But your visit to the Third Floor will show you two hun dred instead of two worthy of special notice. Chamberlin =Johnson =Dußose Co. W. R. KING CHANGES ROADS. JOHNSON CITY. TENN., Sept. 16. W. R.
