8 THE ATLANTA CEORHTAN AND NEWS 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 -ijv Xvpung ixau p|aq wm q.qqM ernoon.

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.

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.

HOGS DIE OF HYDROPHOBIA. JACKSON. Sept. 8. A dog affected | with hydrophobia has caused the loss i of several head of valuable hogs. The j dog bit several of the hogs three weeks i ago. They begau to die yesterday. 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 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. COLGATE & CO., 199 Fulton Street, New York
