GEORGIA FURNISHES
U. S. NAVY WITH MANY
. HOOKWORM VICTIMS
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL—Twenty
eight per cent of the men enlisted in
the United States navy during the last
year from Southern states had the
hookworm disease, according to the an
nual report of Surgeon General Stokes,
of the navy, Issued today. Fifty per
cent of the affected meh 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. Because of the fatali
ties in the navy caused by drowning,
the surgeon general recommends a
compulsory course in swimming.
FALLS 30 FEET FRQM POLE.
CHATTANOOGA. TENN.. Dec. IL—
Ernest Wallinger, a lineman in the em
ploy of the City Power and Light Com
pany, of Harriman, Tenn., fell 30 feet
from a pole in that city and will un
doubtedly die. He sustained a frac
tured shoulder and skull. The cause of
his fall is unknown.

Cedar Chests for Gifts
Would you not like to receive one on Christinas morning?
So/doubtless would some one on your list.
They combine possibly every element that goes to make
a gift of good taste. They are elegant, highly serviceable, and
they need not be expensive.
For instance:
Here is a plain Shirtwaist Box at SB.OO.
A long copper-mounted Skirt Box at $13.50.
A Storage Chest, copper-mounted, medium size, at
$15.00.
A large, roomy Storage Chest, plain, at $17.00.
A plain Chest that seemingly would hold all one
could store away, at $25.00.
Another of the same size, with panel sides, is $27.00.
A copper-mounted Chest, with heavy platform base,
is $27.00.
Another very large Chest, finished in copper, is
$32.00.
And all of these are the finest grade of cedar highly pol
ished, beautifully finished.
With these is a Japanese matting skirt box fitted with a
tray; it is priced at $7.50.

CHATTAHOOCHEE AND

PLAN CANAL PAGEANT
COLUMBUS, GA.. Dec. 11.—Plans are
being made for a big celebration of the
opening of the St. Andrews Bay canal in
1915, the celebration to begin in this city
and be concluded in Panama City, on the
gulf.
It is proposed to obtain every boat and
barge on the Chattahoochee and Flint
rivers and have them assemble at Colum
bus and, after fitting exercises here, pro
ceed down the river, stopping at various
points where suitable programs will be
carried out. It is expected that the canal
can be easily completed in eighteen
months and the plans for the celebration
w’ill be pushed as the work on the canal
advances.
Congressman Henry D. Clayton, of the
Third Alabama district, and \V. C. Adam
son, of the Fourth Georgia district, are
indorsing the celebration, and with the
sentiment for it that prevails in this city
and at other points along the Chatta
hoochee river and the canal, its success
seems assured.

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, tay, 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. Tn
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 “popcorn”—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. ,
And for You 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.
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 t
Cheney silks, soft, lustrous satins and 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 I
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 be put into one robe. :
But this does not tell you what your eyes will show you—you must ’
see them. . I
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 can 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. The Solitaire at SI.OO, 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-D u-
Bose Company gloves.
The Neck Fixings. The great variety of novelties strikes you at
once. The little bows, the jabots, the collars, the collar and cuff sets,
the fluffy ruffs are different—this because the new things are new, but a
very short time in New York before they come to us.
