He said that these agents were insisting that eases be nade against all violators of the smoke ordinance, and that they were “holding .. the owners of steam plants with excessive charges. •■I have yet to know of a single one of these agents who would put up a surety bond that his patent would do what he claimed it would do,” said the inspec tor.

Fifty per cent of the affected men came from Georgia and South Carolina. A marked prevalence of hookworm disease is noticed in Samoa, Guate mala and the Philippine Islands. In Guam and Samoa 90 per cent of the in habitants have the hookworm disease, and 50 per cent show marks of tuber culosis. Contagious diseases among United States sailors have decreased during the year, but mental affections have in creased. A closer study of the mental condition of the recruits at stations is recommended.

Cham be r I in=Johnson=Dußose Company Atlanta New York Paris Sweaters for Gifts They Will Receive a Warm Welcome If you would give a Sweater this Christmas, you may give more than just a serviceable garment, for these in this holiday display are unusually attractive. They are novel in a great many respects—the stitchings of the knitting are often new, so with the collars,, and the two-toned effects, the reversible Sweaters, often a dark shade on one side, a light one on the other. We have done much on our part to make Sweaters choice gifts this season. It is for you to select the one you like best. Select it from these. At $2.25, plain garter stitch sweaters with high roll storm collars, in navy. red. gray. tan. black and white. At $2.95 is the same style in a heavier weight, that those who are out of doors much will like better. At $3.50, sweaters of fancy crosstitched lamb's wool yarn with high, storm collar or V neck, patch pockets and close fitting band cuffs. In colors and white. At $4.25, are sweaters of the same style. but of heavy golf yarn, cable stitched. At $5.00, sweaters- with high or low neck, broad braid stitched or plain knit in maroon, brown and tan. At $6.50, the new reversible sweaters in the new 4 ‘popconi’’—two- toned—stitching. Very good looking. Many color combinations. At $6.95, sweater coats, plain and Norfolk style, solid colors and fancy stripes, patch pockets, regular coat collars and V necks, pearl and crystal buttons. 4 /’ > And forY ou Who Will Give Kimonos Let us tell you what we have been told by disinterested women— this is unquestionably the most elaborate display of kimonos in Atlan ta. And it should be. When selecting them our buyer went to a maker who has the happy faculty of doing things better than any of his com petitors. j His bump of originality must be splendidly developed. Until these arrived we had never seen such kimonos, such novel effects, such col orings. We refer to both the kimonos of the darker and more servicea ble shades and to those of the lighter shades where much lace and ribbon are used. And there are so many of them and such a diversity! Materials are I Cheney silks, soft, lustrous satins ami crepe de chines. Those of silk and satin usually show great gorgeous flower patterns, although bor dered effects are not uncommon. Those of crepe de chine—perhaps we should call them boudoir robes—are decidedly Parisian with plaited and tucked yokes, and empire styles with plain and accordion- • plaited skirts. Some even have panniers, and more laces and ribbons than you would suppose could bo put into one robe. But this does not tell you what your eyes will show you—you must 1 see them. J Those of Cheney silk are $4.50 and $5.00. Those of satin and crepe de chine start at $6.00. We Have Done This for You This Christmas More effectively than at any previous Christmas—we have made it much easier for you to get choice little presents. We mean particularly Handkerchiefs, Neck Fixings, Gloves The Christmas Handkerchief stock ran be spoken of only in super latives! And if we say much of them here we will be using only super latives. when we would much prefer you to use your right and privilege to compare them—price for price—with other handkerchiefs around town. The Gloves are only those that we have found to be best at their price. 'l'he Solitaire at SLOO. in black, white and colors, knows no equal, and so with other gloves at $1.50. $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00. If you give gloves your best guarantee is to give Chamberlin- J o h n s o n-I) u- Bo.se Company gloves. The Neck Fixings. 'l’he great variety of novelties strikes you at once. Ihe little bows, the jabots, the collars, the collar and cuff sets, the fluffy ruffs are different —this because the new things arc new, but a very short time in New York before they come to us.
