Sill SKIRT FAD CLE
New Tabernacle Pastor Finds
Good in Modern Woman De
spite Daring Dress Craze.
I>esp1te h**r «lit skirts and her
transparent gowns, despite her efforts
to do those thing® whlrh are new and
dartng at times, the woman of to
day is Just as good as her predeces
sor, who wore her skirts a little
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 night.
Step by step Dr. McConnell an
alyzed 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 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 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 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
where 1 want to.’
‘Despite her vain striving for this
liberty, which is not liberty, how
ever. modem woman is Just as gooii
a* she ever was—her efforts are sim
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 politics. It is nothing
more than a broking down of the old
i^vts, the old fath. t en morals.
"Trend Should Arouse Fear.”
As such it is to be regarded with
fear. People should eton, 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.
Tn 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

Pillowslip and Birthmarks on
Girl's Dismembered Body
May Reveal Identity.
NEW YORK, Sept. 8.— Detectives
both here and in New Jersey to-day
redoubled their efforts to clear up the
mystery surrounding the murder of
the girl whose headles.t body was
taken from the Hudson River, near
the New Jersey shore.
The finding of parts of the torso
Friday night, and the remainder yes
terday, together with a monographed
pillowslip. led detectives to-day to
think that they may soon be able to
find the person believed to have killed
the girl after an Illegal ope atlon, cut
her head, arms and limbs from her
body and then cut the body In half
and threw’ it Into the river weighted
w’ith stones.
Four Facts Established.
Detectives so far have established
the following facts:
The murder was committed on
the New’ York side of the river.
This has been proven by the grade
of stone used to weight the body
—mica sione—which is found
only In New York and not in New
Jersey.
The girl was murder*4 in a pri
vate house or apartment. An
embroidered plllowshlp bearing
,he Initial "A” was found wrapped
around one section of the torso.
The date of the crime was not
earlier than August 31, which has
been proven by newspaper wrap
pings around the body bearing
that date.
The victim was not more than
25 years old. She had an exquts-
it figure, was a blonde, was used
to wearing ultra low-cut gowns,
was in excellent health and had
four curious moles, or tattoo
marks, on her right shoulder.
Create* Great Sen»»tion.
The legs, head and arms of the girl |
sre missing Officials are watching
the river shores in the hope that
these may be washed up by the waves
and aid in clearing up the mystery,
which has caused a greater sensa
tion here than did the Guldepsuppe
murder mystery a number of years
ago
An inquest will he performed to
day to ascertain exactly how the girl
came to her death. A number of stab
wounds were found on the torso, hut
physicians do not* think that these
Indicate that the girl was stabbed to
death.
It was thought at first that the per
son who dismembered the body had
an expert knowledge of surgery, but
later this was discredited by surgeons.

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, while 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
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 u*e of intoxicant* and tobacco and coffee
weaken the heart.

It’s a good move to quit COFFEE
And use

A pure food-drink made of wheat.
The change is easy, for Postuni 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 Postnm must be well boiled.
Instant Postum requires
No Boiling
It is prepared by stirring a spoonful of the sol
uble po'wder in a cup of hot water and adding sugar
and cream.
Grocers everywhere sell both kinds.
“There’s a Reason’’ for POSTUM
—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. ’
Free this Week in Atlanta
in nurseries, bath rooms and
' 1 V 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 hun
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 dav 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 with 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
childrenthattomakethemost 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 <vorth
every effort on your part to form with them the
twice a day habit of dental care. W’ith 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 write to us for a little
booklet called the “Jungle Pow-W r ow” 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.
