Dr. Dincoln McConnell, the new pa*- |

speaking of “The Trend of

forts of the feminine sex to getaway
from the old habits, the old faith,
then the stronger and more deter
mined efforts, and finally, as we see
to-day. the throwing off of nearly all
restraint—the striving for a liberty,
which Dr. McConnell declared is not
liberty.
Like Reconstructed Negro.
“The woman of to-day,” said D r i
McConnell, “reminds me of the story |
of the negro in reconstruction days,
who. In the presence of his former
master, deliberately took his seat in
the best parlor chair, put his feet on
the piano and proceeded to spit to
bacco in all directions When the
negro had stood the gaze of his old
master as long as he could, he sud
denly got up with the remark:
• Tse got liberty now, I'll spit
when- 1 want to.’
“Despite her vain striving for this
liberty, which is not liberty; how
ever. modern woman is just as good
as she ever was—her efforts are aim
plv a part of 'the trend of the.
times.’ ”
The trend of the times,” Dr. Mc
Connell declared, could be detected
everywhere, In • vt-rv thing - in reli

more than e hr king down of the oh'
laws, the old fath. en morals.
“Trend Should Arouse Fear.”
As such it is to be regarded with
fear People should ston, look and

it Is obtained, does not give satis

for law.
In connection with his address,
which was heard by an audience
which filled the great auditorium of
the Tabernacle. Dr McConnell an
nounced the installation service
which will be held next Sunday aft
ernoon. Dr. Den G. Broughton, of
London. former pastor of the Taber
nacle. will preach in the morning,
and Dr. McConnell will continue his
series of sermons growing out of
“The Trend of the Times” in the
evening. The n®w pastor preached

Aloysius Skinner was happy Mon
day, but Saturday lie could not con
reive of human misery greater than
his. as he cried at the dog pound like
he had not cried since it rained on
the day of t,he picnic. Tobe was with
in the pound, and was crying, too, as
only frightened little dogs can cry.
Tobe, now. had a perfectly good
reason for crying. The men were
going to take him out and kill him
unless his master came to save him
with the $1 pound fee. And the mas
ter, who you must have guessed was
Aloysius, had no more than fifteen
cents.
The beginning of it all was several
days ago when the official dog
catcher, zealous with his new au
thority, saw Tobe standing in an al
ley. What Tobe was doing in the
alley has not been explained. It must
have been that he went after a cat,
after the manner of all little dogs.
Anyhow, the catcher found him and
slipped a wire noose over his head.
Aloysius searched for several days,
and asked everybody about a dog
with short brown hair. You know
well that a dog with short brown
hair is a mongrel cur and not worth
anybody’s tears, but you are grown
up and hardened. Aloysius, you see,
is only 10 years old.
Someone suggested the city pound
Thither Aloysius went, to run into
an even more poignant gr’ef when the
obdurate executioner demanded a dol
lar or Tobe's life.
Hence Aloysius was crying. The
dog law seemed a very cruel law
Even the executioner, if he had not
been a conscientious man. would
have heeded the pleading of Aloysius.
One man did heed it He was a
fat, cheery— faced man. and he gave
Aloysius a quarter.
The tears stopped. Aloysius be
came frankly anti shamelessly a beg
gar, and it was a very happy little
boy. for all the grime on his face,
who finally gave the pound keeper a
dollar he had gotten out of the boun
ty of passers-by.
Both master and dog stopped cry
j ing together, and Aloysius kissed
Tobe and promised the dog catcher to
I keep Tobe close in the yard here-
l after.

A W eak
Heart
"An interest! r.g British report suggests that
science has prolonged the lives of very young city
folks, but not of the middle-aged. A series of tables
compiled from reports of the Register-General and
covering seventy years shows that for males between
five and ten years of age the death rate has declined
sixty-four per cent, while for those between forty -
ftve and. fifty-five years of age it has declined only
three per cent—and for the next decade there is an
actual increase of mortality. For both men and
women between the ages of forty-five and sixty-five
there is no decrease in the death rate. Doctor New-
sholme finds that for both men and women in this
period of middle life diseases of the heart and blood
vessels were registered as the causes of about one-
third of the total deaths.
“Apparently, then, for those who reach middle life
in fairly good physical condition the heart is the chief
source of danger. Fortunately, everybody knows that
excessive use of intoxicants and tobacco and coffee
weaken the heart.
"At this season, when New Year'* vows are falling
like leaves of autumn, we abstain from urging any
body to stop drinking or smoking or overindulgence
in coffee. Go ahead—if you think your heart will
stand itl”

this Jolly Picture in Colors
has delighted so many people in so
many homes and schools that we
think you may wish to own a larges
reproduction of the original painting. ;
Free this Week in Atlanta
T HERE must be something about Miss
Emily Chamberlin’s painting that appeals
to mothers and teachers, as well as to the chil
dren themselves, for again and again it has
been clipped from our colored advertise
ments and hung in nurseries, bath rooms and
school rooms all over the country.
Such popularity is very sure proof of the
real help that this picture has been to mothers
and teachers in their work for “Good Teeth
—Good Health.”
Common Sense Demand*
Clean Teeth
These Happy Youngsters
The twice-a-day brushing of the teeth is no
longer looked upon as a fad or an affectation; it
has been accepted as a pleasant and refreshing
necessity like washing the hands and face, and
as of far greater importance to general health.
And with children particularly is this im
portant as has been proved again and again
by physicians and educators in city after city.
For instance tfie New York Times in a recent
editorial said: “ Ninety-seven per cent of the
public school children have diseased or defect
ive mouths,” and Dr. Luther Gulick points
out that school children with bad teeth are six
months behind those with good teeth.
who are getting such solid enjoyment out of
their “tooth brush drill” have many a time
solved the problem of how to keep children
from forgettingthe twice-a-day care of the teeth.
This pleasant little reminder, hung where
your children will see it in the morning and
at bedtime, may serve as the one extra incen
tive towards this habit, that counts so much
in after life.
It is the knowledge of the good that this picture has
done that has prompted us to print a limited number of
copies in the original colors, on fine paper, so that more
people may enjoy it.
School Bells are Ringing
Once more the school bells are summoning the
children to the tasks of school. Once more the
teachers will be taking up the good work so
splendidly begun in past seasons, of teaching
children thattomakethe most of themselveseither
in work or play, they must have clean teeth.
Isn’t it worth while for you to join this move
ment either in your home or, if you are a school
teacher, in your class room?
Isn't the general health of the children worth
every effort on your part to form with them the
twice a day habit of dental care. With a visit to
the dentist twice a year this will keep the teeth
in the sound condition that is necessary to good
digestion and good health.
Remember that now is the time to save
your children all the pain and trouble that is
so likely to come from early neglect of the teeth.
