grease better than ordinary
cleansers. It is a powerful
disinfectant and a safe de
odorant.
CN is equally effective on
woodwork, marble,

WASHINGTON, May 31.—Officers
of the navy who hare their health
will not be allowed to resign here
after. The department is determined
to break up the practice of men re
ceiving military and nautical train
ing, afforded free by the Naval Acad
emy at Annapolis, and tHen “jump
ing the Job” for higher pay ht the
first attractive opportunity.
The department issued some
months ago a pronouncement against
th^e permission to midshipmen and
.parsed cadets to resign from the
service without physical deficiency
compelling retirement. Secretary
Daniels was asked: “At what grade
In the service will the line against
resignations be drawn hereafter?”
“At no point,” was the prompt re
sponse. “There can be no excuse ac
ceptable to the Navy Depurtment for
the resignation of an officer who has
bis health and the necessary amount
of physical vigor. It will not be tol
erated.
“It is not fair to the Government
that a man should go for four years
to Annapolis and receive compensa
tion while he is engaged in his studies-
be graduated after having been the
Government's charge for that long
and then disregard the obligation of
service he owes to his Government.
This applies to all ranks. There will
bet few exceptions.”

Beautiful Wren’s Nest, Home of
Joel Chandler Harris, Thronged
With Great Crowds.
Gayety ran rife Friday when three
Maypoles were properly plaited with
brilliantly colored ribbons at the May
festival at the Snap Bean Farm. All
afternoon beautiful Wren’s Nest was
thronged with great crowds of chil
dren. The memory of Joef Chandler
Harris and the character of his own
creation, Uncle Remus, were cele
brated in a befitting way. The play
of children for whom the great writer
bad such love was in itself a com
memoration.
Pretty little Kathrine Vickers was
crowned queen, the crown being
placed upon her brow by dainty little
Frances Stokes, who reigned queen
last year.
From her throne Queen Kathrine
ordered the Maypole dance to begin.
Three poles were plaited in streaming
colors, the youngsters dancing fan
tastically.
A great crowd of children attended
the festival. Money obtained will be
added to the fund being raised to
purchase the Snap Bean Farm, imme
diately in the rear of Wren’s Nest,
the home of Joel (’handler Harris.
Five thousand dollars is needed to
make $25,000 Atlanta women have
raised to purchase the place.

EXPERT ADVISES
British Medical Expert Says
Colonel’s Choice and Modera
tion in Liquor Are Excellent.
LONDON, May 31.—Colonel Roose
velt’s habits in the matter of alco
holic beverages are commented on
by a medical writer in The Daily Mail,
who thinks the former President has
set an example which many of his
countrymen could follow to their ad
vantage. He holds that teetotalism
Is the Ideal habit, but apart there
from it would be hard to improve on
the Colonel’s choice and moderation.
“His very occasional glass of sher
ry,” the physician says, “can be left
out of account entirely as far as
any action of the alcohol contained
in it on the system is concerned.
Has Praise for Sherry.
“As a matter of fact, the tonic and
appetizing effects of a small glass
of sherry would, with most adults of
normal digestion, greatly outweigh
its* disadvantages as an alcoholic bev
erage. The same may be said of the
glass or two of Madeira sometimes
taken at dinner.
“In Colonel Roosevelt’s white wine
and water the amount of alcohol is
again practically negligible. No un
prejudiced medical man could cavil
at a maximum ot two glasses of
champagne.
Slam for Mixed Drinks.
“At banquets the ex-President has
shown wisdom by his avoidance of
mixed drinks. The cocktail and the
mint julep are striking examples of
this form of alcohol stimulant to
which no stomach can be subjected
without more or less damage.
“If every one who occasionally likes
wmething stronger than water with
his meals used the same good sense
in choosing his drinks and the same
moderation as Colonel Roosevelt the
liquor problem would disappear auto
matically.”
