4 THE ATLANTA Uf.UKUlAJN AM) JNlfiWS. SLIT SKIRT FID DIAGNOSED B! ILL BOY, 10, BEGS DOLLAR, SAVES PET MONGREL New Tabernacle Pastor Finds Good in Modern Woman De spite Daring Dress Craze. Despite her slit skirts and her transparent frowns, despite her efforts to do those thinps which are new and riarinp at times, the woman of to day is Just as Rood as her predeces sor, who? wore her skirts a littlo wider and a little thicker, declared Dr. Lincoln McConnell, the new pas tor of the Baptist Tabernacle, n speaking of “The Trend of the Times" Sunday ni«ht. Step by step l>r. McConnell an alysed this “trend of the times” as It is exemplified In the habits and behavior of modern woman. First came the mild, almost unapparent ef forts of the feminine sex to getaway from the old habits, the olu* faith, then the stronger and more deter mined efforts, and finally, as we sec 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 Dr. 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 tin the piu.no and proceeded to spit to bacco in all directions. When the negro had stood the gaze of his old master ns long as he could, he sud denly got up with the remark: “ Tse got liberty now; I'll spit where I 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 ply a part of ‘the trend of the times.’ ” “The trend of the times.” Dr. Mc Connell declared, could be detected everywhere. In everything—In reli gion. In art. in polities. It is nothing more than a bn king down of the old IliWB, the old fath, *n morals. “Trend Should Arouse Fear.” As such It is to be regarded with fear. People should ®ton, look and listen in their mad rush for pleas ure. for that something which, when it is obtained, does not give satis faction, and, above all, have regard 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. Len G. Broughton, of London, former pastor of the Taber nacle. will preach In the morning, and Dr McConnell "ill continue his series of sermons growing out of “The Trend of the Times” in the evening. The new pastor preach d Sunday morning on "Church Har mony.” STIRS PDLICE; Aloysius Skinner proudly ransoming his dog.

Youngster’s Devotion to Cur Pupp Triumphs Over Law, Most Cruel in His Eyes. Aloysius Skinner was happy Mon day, but Saturday he could not con ceive 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 the 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 wits 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 w’ent 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 I 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 grief 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 and 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 ing together, and Aloysius kissed Tobe and promised the dog catcher to keep Tobe close in the yard here after. SUICIDES LAID TO HEAT. EVANSVILLE, IND., §ept. 8.—The | intense heat was blamed to-day for : three suicides and seven attempts j during the last week. A Weak Heart “An interesting 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, w’hile for those between forty- five 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 w'omen 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 w’ere registered as the causes of about one- third of the total deaths. “Apparently, then, for those who reach middle life in f«irly good physical condition the heart is the chief aource of danger. Fortunately, everybody knows that excessive us© of intoxicants and tobacco and coffee weaken the heart. “At this season, when New Year's vows are falling like leaves of autumn, we abstain from urging any body to atop drinking or smoking or overindulgence •n coffee. Go ahead—if you think your heart will atand it!** — Saturday Evening Poat, Jan. 18, 1913. When the Heart Begins to “Act Up” It’s a good move to quit COFFEE And use POSTUM A pure food-drink made of wheat. The change is easy, for Postum tastes much like mild, high-grade Java, but is guaranteed abso lutely pure and free from the coffee drug, caffeine, or any other health-destroying ingredient. This American beverage now comes in two forms. Regular Postum must, be well boiled. Instant Postum requires No Boiling It is prepared by stirring a spoonful of the sol uble powder in a cup of hot water and adding sugar and cream. Grocers everywhere sell both kinds.

'Home Treatment for Women.'' sent in plain ara p per — (ad v.) —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 large reproduction of the original painting. 5 Free this Week in Atlanta '"I '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.’’ These Happy Youngsters 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. How to Get the Picture This week—any day before Sunday—this charming creation of Miss Chamberlin's, (size 8'{ x 5% in.) with a wide, clear margin, will be presented to every person who purchases a tube of Colgate’s Ribbon Dental Cream and asks the dealer for a copv. It will frame well—or you may just tack it up as it is and be sure that its brightness will be welcome. Wherever it goes it will carry the cheery message of “Good Teeth—Good Health.” Your picture is free at your dealer’s, or, if his supply is exhausted we will mail one to you for 12 cents. Common Sense Demands Clean Teeth 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 the 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 wjth good teeth. 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 thattomakethemost 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. Offer to Mothers We hope that you will not only get this attrac tive (and useful) picture from your dealer this week, but that you will w-rite to us for a little booklet called the ‘'Jungle Pow-Wow” for the little folks to read (or you to read to them). It’s a merry little book, with delightful pic tures, and is sent without cost to you. Offer to Teachers You will like this picture for the school room, because it helps along with a good suggestion the work a multitude of teachers, all over the land, have been doing for the ‘‘Good Teeth— Good Health” cause. We should like to send you our “Oral Hygiene” and to tell you about our Educational Offer if you will send us your name and address.
