YOU'RE LOOKING YOUNGER EVERY DAY, MOTHER
Gray, raded hair turned beautifully
dark and lustrous almost over night,
is a reality, if you'll take the trouble
to mix sage tea and sulphur, but
what's the use, you get a large bot
tle of the ready-to-use tonic, called
“Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

lions of bottles of “Wyeth's" are
sold annually, says a well-known

Tenth Street School is off to a big
lead in sales, with $8,299.66, and
Highland Avenue School is next with
$1,350.31. Rivalry between schools has
sprung up, and is extending to the

might and main to win commissions
as officers, and many have already
gained the right to wear the bars of
lleutenantg and captains. One or two
boys are going right after the honor
of becoming generals, which requires
the sale of 1,000 stamps, together with
pledges that 1,000 persons are going

Pitchers” Wind-Up No Use
To Hand Grenade Hurlers
No Room in Trench and No Time in No Man's
Land to Do Fancy Throwing—Gordon Men
Busy “Unlearning.”
By G. K. RUTLEDGE.
CAMP GORODN, Feb. 9.—" Sorry,
Bill, but that English you put on a
baseball in flight, that ability to twist
'em all around a bartter’s, head, the
@bility you aecquired in tAe old va
cant lot back of the mill, at the sac
rifice of lessons and the cogt of much
punishment meted. out by Kii, isn't
going to help you in shootin™ hand
grenades to a soft-looking spot in a
German’s head.”
That's what a French officer told a
crack pitcher frm the “home-town
team” Saturday. WAt -least, it's the
Pennsylvanian’s translation of what
the French officer told him,
Hand-grenade throwing, now being
practiced on a small scale at" the
camp, Is to be undertaken in earnest
when the ordnance department sup
plies the grenades.
Unlearning the art of throwing is
one of the most dificult undertakings
facing the grown-up experts in ye
old® fashioned game of “one-eyed cat”
and “town ball” now at Gordbn. The
narrow confines of the trench, the
thrower’s position in regard to his
comrades, the shape of the grenade
itself, the length of time in which to
make the throw all make the wind
up of the star pitcher and the spec
tacular attitude of a bleacher favor
ite impossible. .
Hand-grenades are used in a num
ber of ways in warfare. They are
most effective when thrown into the
enemy trenches, at comparatively
close range, by members of a raiding
party. Members of such a party
have little time for wind-ups or strik
ing attitudes. These vestpocket edi
tion death dealers are also effectively
used by men in the trenches in re
peiling attacks, and sometimes are
thrown from the trench to that of the
enemy. There's no room for a wind
up when throwing from a trench.
Besides that, one can’'t very well
stick his head up to see where he's
‘throwing and he isn’t trying to throw
a “strike.”” The object is to get the
grenade into the air so that it will
drop on the enemy or Fn his position.
This is best accomplished by over
hand throwing—and that's what Gor
donites have to learn.
It's a sad blow. Hundreds of sol
diers who bragged how they'd curve
“ins,” “outs” and ‘“up-shoots” that
would follow a fleeing German till he
fell, will have to forget the stuff they
used to pull on the Mudville ‘'nine and
learn the overhand method of putting
'em over. ‘
It required an auto truck to haul
the quires of paper, thousands of en
velopec' and gallons of ink for the use
of soidiers at Gordon on Sunday—
“Write-to-Father Day.”
In the thirteen buildings ‘of the
army Y. M. C. A, at the camp signs
reading, “Write to Father,” have tem
porarily replaced or gone up bcside
the old familiar ones like “Remember
to Write That Letter Home,” “Have
You Written Mother Today?”’ which
hang along the wall over the writing
desks running the length of all “Y”
buildings.
Throughout the United States and
its dependencies, on the high seas
and in France, wherever the Ameri
can flag is flying, for there the Red
Triangle can also be found, “Write
to-Father Day’ is being celebrated.
Secretary of War Baker and Secre
tary of the Navy Danlels have recog
nized the day, and national “Father
and-Son Week,” commencing today.
Thomas D. Jones, army Y. M. C. A.
business manager at Camp Gordon,
had a special automobile convey
writing paper, ink and envelopes from
the Atlanta Southeastern Department
warehouses to its camp.
The nationalizing of ‘“Father-and-
Son Week,” February 10 to 17, inclu
sive, the week of Lincoln's Birthday,
is an attempt to re-emphasize the im
perativeness of real comradeship be
tween father and son. For many
vears “Father-and-Son Week” has
heen annually celebrated at rural,
railroad, industrial and city Y. M.
. A, buildings.
Camp Secretary I, W. Evans, In
charge of the army “Y"” work at Camp
Gordon, has been called upon by va
rious churches in Atlanta to furnish
speakers from among his staff who
will tell the story of the relationship
of the Red Triangle with the sons in
khaki and’ blue, at “Father-and-Son”
banquets to be given during the week
by local churches, co-operating with
the Atlanta Y. M. C. A.

from time to time reported of sol
aiers cashing bad checks, it is desired
to warn the bankers and merchants of
Atlanta that the precaution should in
variably be taken of obliging men in
uniform presenting checks to identify
themselves or of verifying their state
ments as to accoynts in local banks.
It is* a frequent practice among
‘crooks’'—and cases of such practice
are on record at Camp Gordon and
elsewhere—to put on the uniform of
an officer or of an enlisted man for
the express purpoge of defrauding the
public. If bankers and merchants
continue to cash checks of unidentified
“goldiers,” they .will not only almost
certainly themselves incur loss, but
they will be encouraging every crimi
nal in the community to adopt, for
‘business reasons,’ the nation's uni
form."”
Future “Aces” in the aviation ser
vice may be working their hearts
out in training men the gentle art of
trench digging Lieutenants who've
always wanted a chance to ‘rise a
little” have an unexpected oppor
tunity.
It’'s this way, according to an ex
cerpt from division headquarters’
orders:
“Opportunity is offered by the Sig
nal Corps for lieutenants to apply for
instruction as aviators, with a view
to transferring subsequently to the
signal corps, upon qualifying as such
“Officers transferred are _o be re
placed from the reserve corps or from
training camps.
“Any of the officers detached for
this instruction, who shall have failed
to qualify as aviators, will be assign
ed to duty with the line of the army
as soon as vacancies occur.”
The Cantonment Division, War De
partment, Washington, D. C., desires
statement as to amount of material
required to provide all organizations
having stables with corrals. The
commanding officer of each such or
ganization will submit to these head
quarters by fioon, Tuesday, February
12, an estimate of the kinds and
'quantity of lumber, in addition to that
‘already procured, necessary to pro
vide adequate corrals.
Have you seen a stray nag? If so,
he probably belongs to your Uncle
Sam. A very formal notice issued
from headquarters says: ‘
“Five horses have recently strayed
from the picket line of the 320th Field
Artillery.
“Any information relative to them
will be communicated to the 3201h‘
Field Artillery.”
During January approximately !
1,700,000 pieces of stationery were
used by the soldiers at Gordon. It
was supplied to them without charge
by the army and navy Y. M. C. A,
According to Camp Publicity Sec
retary A. F. Andrews, 904,990 pieces
of mail matter passed through the
“Y” buildings and were delivered to
the Camp Gordon postoffice in Red
Triangle motor trucks.
With 33,500 soldiers at the camp |
last month, the average number of
pieces of mail matter sent by each
soldier through Y. M. C. A. build
ings, is 27. Hundreds of thousands of
letters, postcards and parcel post
packages in addition go direct to the
postoffice, The majority of these also
display in the upper left-hand corner
the Red Triangle emblem and the
words, “With the Colors.”
If an officer is caught hypothecat
ing his pay—but it's too big a sub
ject to discuss. Read what the divi
sfon adjutant has to say about it:
“The attention of all officers of this
command is invited to the fact that
paragraph 1258, army regulations, for- ‘
bids the transfer or hypothecation of
an officer's pay account before it is
actually due. A pay account is not
due until the last day of the period
covered by it. The regulations, how
ever, expressly provide that an ac
count may be made up and signed be
fore the expiration of the period cov
ered by it and delivered to the proper
quartermaster to be paid when due.”
One of the coziest and at the snmel
time one of the most adaptable build
ings in the cantonment is the club
room for officers of the 328th Infan
try. In addition to providing a meet
ing place for the officers it is to be
used as a study, school and lecture
room. |
There's trouble brewing for ab
sentees who should attend schools
for teamsters, packers and horse
shoers now being held daily at the
auxiliary remount depot. High offi
cers have put the ban on “hookey”
playving.
The following is an excerpt from
instructions governing the schools:

Campaign to Raise $30,000 in
Atlanta To Be Started
Tuesday, Feb. 19,
~ That the Young Women's Christian
Association has broadened the scope
'of its work to a remarkable degree,
both locally and nationally, during the
!latter part ofrits 50 years of effort, is
a fact not widely known among the
}general publie.
Few outside of those who have been
more or less directly interested in the
association’s work have taken the
trouble to enlighten themselves on the
subject. and consequently among
these there is only a vague idea of
what it has accomplished based on
the earlier history of the organiza
tion.
Its primary object at the time of
organization, as'well as at the pres
ent time, was the physical and spirit
uval welfare of young women and
girls.
While the problems and purposes of
the Y. W. C. A. are practicaly identi
cal with those formed at its organi
zation, like everything else that
changes ™ the course of 50 years,
these pro¢lems are met in more prac-.
tical and modern ways and more on
the ground of humanity.
An enormous number of girls in
this country have already gone inte
new positions and many into new en
vironments, as the result of the war
one estimate placing the number at a
million. Naturally, under such cir
cumstances, the need of adjustments
to meet the new conditions' is imper
ative. For instance,«l,s6oo girls were
employed in a munitions factory in a
small Middle Western city, where
there was no place for them to stay.
The Government reported to the Y.
W. (. A. that these girls were sleep
|ing three in a bed and working in
'three shiftg, so the beds were never
‘empty. Immediate arrangements were
'made for the erection of barracks by
‘the Y. W. C. A,, where the girls had
clean and comfortable quarters,
In Atlanta the Y. W. C. A. rooms
on the fourth floor of the Peachtree
Arcade and the Hostess House at
(Z’np Gordon produce the most con
vincing evidence of the work the lo
cal association is doing. In the club
rooms are to be found everything that
one would naturally look for in a
place of this kind—reading rooms,
restrooms, gymnasium, bathrooms,
cafeteria and a bright, sunny atmos
phere. Among the hundreds of girls
who visit the rooms daily are mem
bers of the association, strangers who
always seek out the Y. W. C. A. first,
because they know it is the right kind
of a place to go, and many who may
have plenty of places to go, but who
enjoy the atmosphere of the Y. W.
C. A. and its wholesome associations.
It is a place where anyone is welcome
at any time.
The Hostess House at Camp Gor
don was donated by the pational
board without asking ‘any contribu
tion from Atlanta. Tt is the only
place at the camp where the wives
mothers and daughters of the soldiers
can meet them, and it has been given
high praise on every hand. It is
practically self-supporting.
The national board has spent mor¢

Begin Hot Water
Drinking If You
Don’t Feel Right
If you, wake up with a bad taste,
bad breath and tongue is coated: if
yeur head is dull or aching; if what
you eat sours and forms gas and acid
in stomach, or you are bilious, consti
pated, nervous, sallow and can’t get
feeling just right, begin inside bath
ing. Drink before breakfast, a glass
of real hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it. This will
flush the poisons and toxins from
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
and cleanse, sweeten and purify the
entire alimentary tract. Do your in
side bathing immediately upon arising
in the morning to wash out of the
system all the previous day’s poison
ous waste, gases and sour bile be
fore putting more food int(\the stom

To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves anhd
muscles became l6aded with body im
purities, get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost
tasteless, except for a sourish twinge
which is not unpleasant.
Men and women who are usually
constipated, bilious, headachy or have
any stomach disorder should begin
this inside bathing before breakfast.

YOU NEED A GOOD “SPRING TONIC”
Wintry weather, colds and éoughs load up the system with im
pure blood and weaken the vitality of the body, causing a variable

time of the year every man and woman needs a powerful “spring
tonic.” The ideal preparation is Vito-Rex. It tones up the appe
tite ¢end digestion, thoroughly cleanses the intestinal tract of all im
purites and successfully restores and revitalizes the whole system
as nething else can. Being purely a vegetable compound it is harm
less, and is acceptable by old and young. Your druggist has Vito-
Rex; it is guaranteed to give vou entire satisfaction or your monéy
cheerfully refunded. &
