OLD STATION REVIVED Ceremonies Are Witnessed as Prelude to Encampment of G. A. R. at Chattanooga. With the ting that flashed General Sherman’s famous message of “Hold the fort, for I am coming” to Gen eral Corse at Allatoona Pass 50 years agb, Lieutenant George C. Round, of Manassas, Va., formerly of Sherman’s signal corps, together with Pierre P. Hurlburt, of No. 42 Grady place. At lanta, and Major J. A. Commerford, of Marietta, both Union veterans, stood on the site of the old Civil War signal station on the summit of Ken- nesaw Mountain Saturday afternoon and flashed the same message to an imaginary battlefield at the pass. Lieutenant Round is president of the United States Veteran Signal Corps Association, and performed the rites of re-establishing the old signal station used by Sherman and considered one of the most important of the war, as a part of the Grand Army reunion at Chattanooga. Mr. Hurlburt assisted him as flag man, and Major Commerford served as bugler. The station was re-estab lished on the exact spot from which General Sherman sent his famous message\ over ^the head of Hood’s army in the valley, to General Corse at Rome, ordering him to proceed to Allatoona Pass and defend the stores of the Union army stationed at that place. The ceremonies of opening the sta tion and sending the message were witnessed by a delegation of Manet - j ta citizens, headed by Secretary J. L. Stringer, of the Board of Trade. After the sending of the famous message, Lieutenant Round flashed a i message to the North, South, East ■•.nd West. Three of these messages I •ere taken from the wise sayings of’ Moses, from the Book of Leviticus, J ami were as follows: To the North—"Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound throughout your land.” To the South—“Ye shall proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." To the East—"Ye shall hallow the fiftieth year: It shall be a jubilee unto you; ye shall return every man unto his possession.” The message flashed to the West* was the chorus of a song written by Mrs. Mary Speed Mercer, of Elm City, N. C., during the Manassas jubilee in 1911, as follows: “America! All hail to thee! Thanks be to Good, who made us free! North, South, East and West, hand clasped in hand, United we thy children stand!” In flashing the signals, Lieutenant j Round used the same field glasses he used as a signal officer during the war, and read from the Bible he car ried In his knapsack during the four years of strife. Lieutenant Round spent Saturday night with Mr. Hurlburt at the lat- ler’s home at No. 42 Grady place, and leaves to-day for Chattanooga to at tend the G. A. R. reunion. Mrs. J. K.

MY ■' *' ' -' Four Rules Laid Down to Guide Mothers in Selecting Attend ant for Children. Georgia mothers, as a rule, do not exercise sufficient care in selecting nurses for their babies, declares the State Board of Health, in a warning issued Saturday describing some of the dangers to which helpless infants are exposed because of this negli gence. Too often, says the board, the thoughtless mother employs the first negro girl who happens to be avail able, without inquiring at all as to her health, moral character and intel ligence. Such mothers forget that the baby Is left for hours at a time in the sole care of this nurse, and that it may suffer permanent harm if improperly handled, neglected or ex posed to disease. Four rules are laid down by the Georgia Board of Health, by which a girl or woman must be judged be fore she should be employed to take care of a baby. They are as follows: The nurse must be healthy. The nurse must be neat and clean aboux her own person. The nurse must be of good moral character. The nurse must have intelligence. Don’t employ anybody to take care of your baby unless that person comes up to these four requirements, says the State Board. Mayor Announces He Will Refuse to Sign Voucher Until Con tract Is Met. Wife’s War Helps 'Spooning' Crusade Pays $15 Fine for Disturbance at Husband's Bakery, but Ends Flirtations Thers. Despite the fact that she was forced to pay a $15.75 fine in Record er's Court Saturday for raising a dis turbance at her husband’s bakery at No. 251 Peachtree street, Mrs. Jamie Zakas probably has put a stop to any and all things which might be con strued to be spooning in the bakery. Mrs. Zakas charged that she saw women enter the bakery and talk with her husband in a way that did not suit her. Zakas denied the charge, saying the women were ordinary customers. Declaring that the methods of the Destructor Company of New York, which is building the new crematory, was a “stall” and that he would re fuse absolutely to sign a voucher for the payment of the $135,000 still due until the plant had been turned over to the city and an average test of the capacity made. Mayor James G. Woodward Saturday night renewed the old crematory fight. The Mayor’s statement followed fast on the heels of the statement of Councilman Claude L. Ashley, chair man of the Council Sanitary Com mittee, who declared Saturday he was convinced that the city was being robbed by the contract with the De structor Company. The Councilman’s criticism of the plant was inspired by the belief that it will not come up to the contract specifications. Mayor Woodward's criticism of the plant was as sharp as that of Ash ley. “I am convinced that the company is stalling now in order to put off the test as long as possible,” said the Mayor. “But that stall won’t go, for I am going to insist on an average test after the plant has been turned over to the city. In fact, I am not going to sign the voucher for that $135,000 which we still owe them un til the contract has been carried out to the letter. “1 still contend that we have made a bad bargain, for we are paying $276,000 for a 250-ton plant, whereas Milwaukee h;uj a 300-ton plant which cost only $210.000. If I could have received some support in my orig inal fight we could have a fully- equipped crematory plant at a cost of only $108,000.” According to the Mayor, the De structor Company is paying $25 per day forfeiture dating from August 15, when, it Is claimed, the plant should have been completed.

Strangers Dig Up Three Boxes and Negro Finds Pistol of Revolutionary Days. BRUNS WICK,, Sept. 13.—A myi- tery comes to this city bordering on i one of the treasure stories of Cap tain Kidd, and as a result Dr. W. B. 1 Burroughs is in possession of an old flint and steel pistol of the type used in the Revolutionary War. A few days ago John Edwards, a j negro, was at Ht. Marys, and while there a party of strangers engagjJ him to take them to Talbots Island, which is near Fernandina. When tha party reached the Island, they landed and instructed Edwards to wait oa the shore until they returned. The strangers cam© back in two hours ami had in their possession three boxes. After h« had taken his paasengera hack to s*t. Marys, Edwards returned to the Island. He searched about the place and found three square holes, out of which the boxes had been lift ed. In one of the sinks he found tho pistol. Yesterday the negro came to Bruns wick and showed the relic to I>r. Bur roughs, who, being a collector of war time guns, purchased it.

ESTABLISHED 1865 Americans' Absence Stuns Hotel Keepers August Is Disastrous to Both Boni faces and Tradesmen In South ern Germany. Special Cable to The American. BERLIN, Sept. 13.—The hotel keep ers and tradesmen in certain quar ters of South Germany are dismayed by the marked decrease in American tourist traffic; August was almost disastrous to them. The Munich hotel proprietors were hit hardest and are complaining loudly. This loss of American pa tronage is due largely, it is said, to the agitation by certain Americans in Munich against the systematic ex ploitation to which travelers are sub jected in that city. Experienced tour ists, tired of paying double prices for everything, are shunning Munich and going to Berlin and other North Gei- man cities. Mrs. J. K. Ottiey, director of Geor gia for the Shiloh Monument Fund, United Daughters of the Confeder acy, is In Tennessee with the presi dent general of the Shiloh Monument Association to select a suitable site for the monument the association is about to erect to commemorate the heroism of the Confederate soldiers who fought in the memorable en counter which lasted two days at Pittsburg Landing. For several years the Confederate Daughters have been directing Home of their time and money toward the proposed monument, and each State has had its Shiloh director, who has spoken before the various chapters of the Daughters of the Confederacy and worked for the fund. The Atlanta Chapter pledged $50 last year to the fund, which peldge wan met in the spring. Thirty-nine other U. D. C. chapters have con tributed to the monument fund from Georgia. Shiloh Day was observed with Mrs J. K. Ottiey as chairman on April 6, at which time a beautiful literary and musical program was rendered in the Woman’s Club. At that time •papers were read from the president of the Mississippi Division, from Mrs. Battle, a prominent Daughter of the Confederacy of Texas, and a group of poems read by Mrs. Elizabeth Fry Page, the poet laureate of the Ten nessee Division. The monument will be erected in the Shiloh National Military Park, near Pittsburg Landing, on the Ten nessee River, and will be one of the handsomest monuments among the many the Daughters of the Confed eracy have erected to the Confed erate soldiers. Mrs. Ottiey is the guest of the president general of the Shiloh Mon ument Association in Tennessee and will spend several days in that State before returning to Atlanta. ‘We're Tired of Mud,' Wife's Pitiful Note Cry Fifth Warders Makes Convict Flee Protest Against Delay in Paving of Despondent After Reading Letter, Chestnut Street to Council Federal 'Trusty' Runs Away, Committee. \ but Is Caught, Sues Husband Who Gave Her $1.25 Year Mrs. Vivian Miller Hogan Declares, She Was Allowed to Go Hun- i gry Several Times.

GRAY HAIR TURNS ITS NATURAL COLOR AFTER APPLYING SAGE TEA Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens Beautifully and Takes Off Dandruff. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the nat ural color and luster to the nair when faded, streaked or gray; also cures dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make It at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays skilled chemists do this better than ourselves. By ask ing at any drug store for the readv-to-use product—called "Wy eth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem edy”—you will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Some druggists make their own, but it’s usually too sticky, So insist upon getting "Wyeth's.’’ which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair, and is the best remedy* for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and to stop falling hatr. Folks like “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur” because no one can pos sibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly, says a well-known down town druggist. You dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This requires but a few moments, by morning the gray hair disappears and after an other application or two is re- I stored to its natural color and looks I even more beautiful and glossy than ever.
