W» glad they went to The Georgian’s
concert instead of staying at home and

The concert, netted $236.40 for the
Empty Stocking fund, which will go a
long way toward giving the mothers a
real Christmas—for this addition to the
funds means that every poor mother on
the Christmas editor’s list will receive a
new $£ bill, and perhaps even a little
more. And $2 just a day before Christ
mas will go a long way toward driving
the Glooms from a cottage.

limousines or enjoying the afternoon ar

scattered about in the house, rubbing
elbows against the Sunday suit of an

It was worth hearing and enjoying,
too. It isn’t often that Atlanta hears a
band of such size and excellence. The
musicians of three organizations were
there —Matthlessen’s, Wedemeyer’s, the

A Chinese funeral, which could not

Miss Margherita Carter, a young At
lanta girl who recently was graduated
from the conservatory and is in her first
season of public appearance, was the
i first soloist. An awkward bit of stage
; wait seemed to frighten her a moment.

I confidently. It is rarely that a young

her an enviable future. Dr. Kurt Muel

offered by the Montgomery theater,
I made great hits. The Great Dayton, a
singer who is not only a “freak.” but
an artist, kept the audience laughing
and wondering for fifteen minutes while
he ranged from basso to tenor and fal
setto. His closing number, a medley
using all four voices in rapid changes,
was truly a surprising bit of work.
The Singing Martins received an ova

is as big as his frame, opened with the

afternoon was the short address by
Reuben Arnold, the famous criminal

coax the quarters for the poor children.
5 Colonel Arnold spoke first of the spirit

of the South to observe It as the birth
day of Christ should be observed—not
with an overflow of whisky and a ear
nival of homicide, but with a spirit of
love and good will.

Substitute for Probationers Who Must Drink
COOGLER BANS EGGNOG
Probation Officer Coogler has placed
the ban on the Christmas eggnog for
his army of probationers, but today de
clared that he’ll see to it that none of
them suffer for “a drink.”
in order to make good on this prom
ise, Mr. Coogler has provided a supply
in the Christian Helpers league in De
catur street.
It’s not real corn nor rye, of course,
but Mr. Coogler said it would take the
blue ribbon as a substitute —it pro
duces the exhilarating sensation of al
cohol without its bad aftermath of in
toxication.
The “drink” consists of—one pint of
hot water, followed by a capsule con
. talning three grains of cayenne pep
per.
“I give the hot water first.” said Of
ficer Coogler. “so the pepper will not
stick to the lining of the stomach and
burn it. The capsule floats on the wa
ter until dissolved and the pepper
spreads out through the whole system.
Results are quick and satisfactory. The
’drinker’ at once warms up and feels
bully. It has liquor beat all to pieces,
and I’m satisfied the probationers will
’ enjoy it.”
Mr. Coogler will furnish the hot wa-
1 ter and a capsule on request.
1 “I want all of my probationers who
feel that they really need a drink dur-
■ ing Christmas to call on me,” said the
’ officer with a smile.
< tfficer t'oogier has issued a final
; warning to the probationers to “hold
tight” to their seats on the water wag
on during the next w-ek.
In the manner of a conductor warn

I | Coogler said:

; through Christmas now. Cling close to
the wagon.”
