Scholar Says Devil
Designed New Styles
CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—Current fash
ions in women’s gowns are incentives
to immorality, according to Profes
sor Allan Hoben. of the University of
Chicago School of Divinity, at the
Sunday school Institute in session at
the university. The latest styles, he
said, were the devil’s designs.
‘For any woman to be well dressed
to-day,” he said, “is for her to be
measurably harmful. Women have
distracted attention from their face®
to their forms. This is distinctly un
fortunate."

K. of C. Debate on
$1,000,000 Offices
BOSTON, Aug. 7. A proposition to
move the national headquarters from
New Haven, Conn., to Washington
and erect a $1,000,000 building at the
Capital was the principal subject for
consideration at the closing business
session to-day of th e thirty-first an
nual convention of th** Knights of
Columbus, it was predicted the
proposition would be defeated as the
various councils have rejected the
measure in a semi-referendum vote. •
Changes in the Insurance law's also
were considered. One plan was to
reduce the assessment paid by the
older members, and the other was to
issue a paid-up policy to all members
who are 70 years old.
Militants Active as
Mrs. Pankhurst Sinks
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ABERGAVENNY, ENG.. Aug. 7 —
Militant suffragettes burned a cricket
pavilion and a hayrick near here to
day.
Before the pavilion had been fired
a big banner was stretched on poles
near by. on which was the inscrip
tion: "Just to Remind You That
Mrs. Pankhurst Is Dying."
L
"In London you hear of but tw r o
people—King George and Dr. Len G.
Broughton—and possibly you hear a
little more of the latter than you do
of the former,” said W. S. Witham.
Atlanta banker and church worker, in
an address at the Wesley Memorial
Church Wednesday night.
The subject of his address was the
"Impression of Zurich,” and, he told of
a trip through Europe in connection
with the International Sunday School
Convention. He declared that
Broughton was following out the same
line <>f work which he carried on In
Atlanta; that he spoke fearlessly of
things politic, and was the most
talked of man in the English Capi
tal.
Mr. Witham was discussing the
praising of a man’s virtues while he
lived, and remarked that the trend of
the times now is to praise tlie living
more than the dead.
"Why, more people visit the tomb
of Pasteur than they do Napoleon's
It is the man who lives for his coun
try who is getting the praise of the
world to-day, not the man who dies
for it.”
Fleet ‘Takes’ Brest
France's ‘Gibraltar'
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS, Aug. 7.—The French Gov
ernment was thrown into consterna
tion to-day by the unprecedented feat
of a submarine flotilla in penetrat
ing the supposed impregnable harbor
at Brest.
The fleet crawled through the water
under the very guns of the great
forts guarding the approach to the
harbor and despite the use of every
scientific device known to modern
warfare, got through undetected.
Christian Scientists Take Cam
paign Into the House After
Defeat in Senate.
Christian Scientists have begun a
campaign against those provisions of
the Medical Practice hill regulating
their methods for healing in Georgia
The Senate has passed the bill and
it is expected to come before the
House soon. An amendment to the
bill framed by Christian Scientists
failed in the Senate by three votes.
The amendment is worded similar
to the one President Taft added to
the Medical Practice bill for the Ca
nal Zone at the request of Christian
Scientists there.
Edward H. Carman, of Atlanta,
president of the Christian Science
State Publication Committee, has sent
o Christian Scientists all over Geor
gia a letter which says In part:
"Get influential members of your
hurch to go to three or four of their
good friends—influential men—get
them to w'rite or wire their Repre
sentative in the low’er House of the
Legislature asking them to support
’.he following amendment which will
be offered to the Medical Practice
bill when it comes up:
This act shall not apply to any
person who ministers to or treats
the sick or suffering by mental or
spiritual means, whether gratui
tously or for compensation, and
without the use of any drug or
material remedy.
Mr. Carman Thursday refused to
comment on the subject, saying, he
preferred not to even have It known
that Christian Scientists felt any
i anxiety over the passage of the bill.
It is understood, how r ever, that if
i the bill is passed without the amend
ment Christian Scientists wijl at once
declare it unconstitutional and will
cite as their authority the Constitu
tion of the United States.

Senator Owen Offers Plan to In
crease Gold Reserve and to
Unify Currency.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—A bill
providing for increasing the gold re
serve Ln the redemption division of
the Treasury, retiring the 2 per cent
bonds and unifying the currency is
sues of the United States, was in
troduced in the Senate to-day by
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, chair
man of the Banking and Currency
Committee.
The measure provides that the Sec
retary of the Treasury is authorized
and directed, as gold certificates come
into the Treasury or subtreasuries
of the United States, to have them
canceled and the gold represented by
such certificates transferred to the
redemption division. In place of these
canceled gold certificates, the Sec
retary is to issue treasury notes of
the United States, redeemable in gold
at the Treasury.
The Secretary is authorized, in his
discretion, when requested to do so
by national banks having outstand
ing national bank notes secured by 2
per cent bonds, to purchase these
bonds at par and accrued interest,
and to assume the redemption at par
of the bank notes secured by these
bonds, charging the amount of the
notes against the proceeds of the 2
per cent bonds and paying the bal
ance in cash to the national banks.
These 2 per cent bonds shall then
be canceled, and a like amount of
twenty-year 3 per cent bonds shall
be placed in the redemption division
and the annual interest on them cred
ited to the funds of the redemption
division.
When the national bank notes the
redemption of which has been as
sumed shall come into the Treasury
they shall be canceled and retired
and in place of these notes the Sec
retary of the Treasury shall issue
treasury notes in like amount.
The bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency.

"1 have never found a food to com
pare with Grape-Nuts for the benefit

year's experience makes me more en
thusiastic regarding its use.
"I make it a rule to always recom
mend Grape-Nuts, and Postum in
place of coffee, when giving my pa
tients instructions as to diet, for I
know both*Grape-Nuts and Postum
can be digested by anyone.
"As for myself, when engaged in
much mental work my diet twice a
day consists of Grape-Nuts and rich
cream. 1 find it just the thing to
build up and keep the brain in good
working order.
"In addition. Grape-Nuts always
