However, site says site was treated

In a state of terror, according to her
own story, and not knowing what to
expect
The experiences of the Baroness are
not so bad, however, as those of Mra
Ann Webster and Mrs. Norah Davis,
two Americans, who were caught
within the German borders with their
three children when war was declared.
The party had railroad tickets and
plenty of cash. Both the tickets and
money were taken from them by sol
diers, who used the most Insulting
language.
Jt was Impossible to secure any sort
of conveyance without money, and
they were forced to walk twenty-five
miles to the French border. They met
with every sort of discourtesy on their
way. Mr. Townsend says. German
peasants refused them food and shel

need of both.
A HOSPITAL TO THE MEMORY
OF MRS. WILSON.
As the warm hearted people of
Rome. Ga.., were busy with prepara
tions to welcome Mrs Wilson to the
home of her girlhood, the sad news of
her untimely death reached them. She
had planned to visit Rome in October
and her friends, both those of years
ago, andnewly made ones, were beau
tifying the city with plants,
whose blossoms would stnile a wel
come to the first lady of the land. As
these good people were deprived of the
pleasure and privilege of paying hom
age to Mrs. Wilson, they have planned
to honor her memory in a manner
which those who knew her best think
would have pleased her most. The
editor of the Rome, Ga.. Tribune, says
concerning this movement:
Now that our Home Coming week
Is to tie such a different week to what
we had planned the opportunity is
now offered to us, the people of Mrs.
Wilson s home town, to honor in a
beautiful and useful way the memory
of Rome’s daughter, and the first lady
of the land.
"Tt happens that we sre on the
verge of beginning a new public hos
pital. The whole city is enthused and
interested. Let all of us that made a
subscription to the Horne Coming
Week pay It in to the Chamber of
Commerce to lie used in building the
new hospital. Let every other man,
woman and child in Rome add to this
and then in memory of our president’s
wife let us name it Ellen Louise Axson
Hospital.
"Perhaps Mrs. Wilson would prefer
such a movement to her memory than
one in cold and massive marble”
Azores on the way over. Coming back
Ihe seii was very rough and most every
one aboard whs terribly sea-sick. They
were only eight days returning, how
ever.
It was Mis. Jackson's intention to take
her two accomplished pupils to the Con
servatoire of Music at Geneva, where
they were to study for the summer. It
was not learned until they reached Gene
va, however, that the Conservatory was
closed for the summer.
Studied Vocal.
Miss Marie Meyer sought training,
nevertheless, and ho for three weeks she
took private lessons under M. Kettln, the
leading Instructor at the Conservatory.
Hhe would have .studied longer but iie
had to leave for his annual summer vaca
tion.
At Geneva Mrs. Jackson and Miss
Rowland left the Misses Meyer and went
up the lake to the home of Josef Hoff
mann, the famous pianist, who, has a
winter home In Aiken.
On account of the Conservatory being
dosed the Misses Meyer shortened thlcft*
visit, as they had intended staying until
the first of September. Luckily they
didn’t! Instead of going to Germany to
visit relatives, as they were alone they
decided to spend a few days at Home,
Venice, Florence, then to Pari* and Bou
logne and on home.
Audience With Late Pope.
While in Home they were given an au
dience with the lute Pope Plus X. who
was then In declining health, although
according to Miss Marie Meyer, his ex
treme feebleness could not i»e observed
by his facial expression. The Augusta
party carried a letter to His Holiness
from Father McMahon, of this city.
In Venice, say the Misses Meyer, they
were Impressed with the picturesqueness
of the plsce by night. The moon was
full and there whs a never-to-be-forgot
ten ride in a gondola through the streets
of water one night, when the moon
shown In all It* fullness.
The Misses Meyer returned before Mrs.
Jackson and Miss Howland, but the lat
ter are expected to arrive here In a day
a speedy adjustment of business con
ditions. One of the most Interesting
of these Indications is that the reports
of hank clearings In Atlanta for the
period since the commencement of
hostilities shows a steady continuation
of Increases over last year, at a trifle
more than the previous growrth. For
the past two weeks the increase has
been at a rate of about ten per cent
above the same period for lust year.
The number of failures reported
for the same period Is only about 65
per cent of what It was a year ago.
Inquiries are coming in about the nor
mal manner. Of course, It would be
follsh to say that conditions are as
good ns they would have been with
out the war. Hut a large part of the
stagnation noted In many lines of
huslneas Is traceable rather to the
scare which was caused under the
sudden shock of the first news of the
conflict, than by any actual effect on
business which Is fell here
Huatnees men of Georgia should
feel a large amount of confidence In
the situation. With the highways of
traffic open across the Atlantic
(which the recent assurances of safa
tyy sent out by the Hrlttah Admiralty
renders certain within a few days)
and with the Increased demand for the
output of the American textile mills,
cotton is sure to bring a good price by
! Ihe lime the bulk of the crop Is mov
ing Not as large as It would havs
brought under normal conditions, but
a price which will aasure a good liv
ing for Georgia under any condltluna
The man who Is most liable to suf
fer Is Ihe cotton grower who allows
hsmself to he governed by an unreas
oning panic. This Is the man who
offers himself ns the victim for the
unscrupulous financier who will take
advantage of his scare to buy hla cot
ton at a ridiculously low ftgura.

LESS MEAT
Advics of Family Physician.
Formerly people thought meat nec
esasary for strength and musculag
vigor. N
The man who worked hard was
supposed to require meat two or three
limes a day. Science has found out
differently.
It Is now a common thing for the
family physician to order less meat,
as In the following letter from a N. V.
man:
"I had suffered for years with dys
pepsia and nervousness My physi
cian advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. 1 tried sev
eral things to take the place of my
usual breakfast of chops, fried pota
toes, etc., but got no relief until I tried
Grape-Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
I am now A well man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
medicine I had taken before.
“My wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are a very happy family, largely due
to Grape-Nuts
"We have been so much benefited
by Urape-Nuta that It would be un
grateful not to acknowledge It."
