SILVER TEA DELIGHTFUL
AND SUCCESSFUL
SOCIAL AFFAIR.
The silver tea given Tuesday even
ing by the Woodlawn Baptist Phil
atheas at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph Youngblood, was a great
success not only from a financial
standpoint but a social one as well.
The entire house was thrown open to
the guests and was most attractive
with house plants and cut flowers. A
very entertaining musical program
was rendered and delicious refresh
ments served. Each guest, every
Philathea, made a contribution of one
dine, and each Baru/i and all the men
in attendance doubled it.
As a result a very gratifying sum
was raised for the purpose for which
it will be used—for the Woodlawn
Baptist Church fund.

to You
It is not alone our great
stocks that will appeal to
all home furnishers but
the policy that governs
the business—a policy
which requires everyone
connected with the store
to help buyers to econo
mize and to select goods
well within their means.
We want no woman or
man to be tempted into
paying more than they
expected to pay. It is our
intention to help them
select furniture or fur
nishings for about what
they feel they can afford.
And whatever that is
they can rest assured it is
the best of its kind that
money can buy.

A DELIGHTFUL
SOCIAL EVENING.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Parker gove
their friends, or rather twenty-five
neighbors and friends, a delightful
treat last evening when they were
asked to their pretty Itome on Glenn
Avenue, the Hill, to meet Mrs. Par
ker’s niece, Mrs. Laurie Greene Jack
son, of Atlanta, who had very grac
iously consented to give a piano recit
al in which she demonstrated her
wonderful musical talent. Mrs. Jack
son is already very charmingly known
here from her former visits w'ith Mrs.
Parker, but she was met last evening
in an entirely new role and instantly
won the ready appreciation of all
music lovers present. Mrs. Jackson
has been a pupil of Barelli and very
recently has been studying under Otto
I’fafferkorn. Her touch, technique
and interpretations are most artistic
and her performance last evening was
such as to warrant her friends pre
dicting great things for her in the
near future.
A DUSKY SULTAN
IN DISTRESS.
Perhaps the most unfortunate per
son in Paris at present is the Sultan
of Zanzibar. According: to report, he
has been reduced to his last twenty
francs (four dollars), and yet he faces
the problem of feeding and amusing
the fifteen dusky wives who accom
panied him on his travels, all no doubt
having excellent appetites and a de
veloped taste for foreign finery.
So great was the black Sultan's
need for cash, it is related, that on
hearing of a shipment of gold from
VVashingtorr to Paris, he got in line
with the stranded Americans and
applied to Ambassador Herrick for
aid. He was politely referred to the
British embassy, from the path to
which the tales of a shipload of
American gold seemed to have caus
ed his feet to stray.
Apparently the preoccupation of the
British treasury in troublous times
prevented the Sultan of Zanzibar
from receiving his regular remittance
o]\ time. We may rest assured that
the oversight was not intentional.
Zanzibar, an island off the coast of
German East Africa, is particularly
valuable to the British just now, and
in order to keep its natives at peace,
the government at London can well
afford to pay a stipend liberal enough
to keep the Sultan and all his dusky
wives in a good humor.—Macon Tele

THE EMPEROR
SALUTES THEM
Kaiser Wilhelm Reviews the
Imperial Grenadiers Com
manded By His Son Oscar.
Visits Hospital
London, 3:40 a. m.— Emperor Wil
liam, after reviewing the Imperial
Grenadiers commanded by his son,
Prince Oscar, in the battle of Verdun,
spoke this to the troops, according to
a Copenhagen dispatch to The Daily
News:
“I salute you. I have often seen
your gallant regiment at maneuvers
and it is a great pleasure to meet yoj
again on conquered ground.
"The heroic deeds at Verdun will be
engraved on the history of the war
forever In golden letters. Your regi
ment has upheld the glorious tradi
tions of your forefathers in 1870 and
1871. The armies of the crown prince
and Duke Albrecht of Wuerttemberg
have advanced, while our eastern army
has thrown three Russian army corps
over the frontier and two more Rus
sian army corps have been captured in
the field.
"For all these victories we have one
God to thank and He Is our ancient
God who is over us."
Emperor William then embraced his
son and drove off In a motor car.
Recently Emperor William visited an
establishment of a Protestant religi
ous order which is now a hospital
He walked through the rows of
wounded, shook hands with the men
unable to rise and sent a rose to every
wounded soldier he did not have an
opportunity to speaking to. He also
distributed iron crosses right and left.
The clergyman In charge of the
wounded seems to have addressed the
emperor with too heavy a heart.
“We all make sacrifices in these
times,” said the emperor, reminding
the clergyman that he had six sons
fighting.

is what a doctor must he assured of in recommend
ing a food or drink. He must know that it is
honest, efficient, pure and wholesome.
In cases of nervousness, heart flutter,headache,
biliousness, indigestion, etc., where the patient is a
coffee drinker, most doctors order: "Quit coffee
and use Postum.”
Doctors recommend Postum because they know
that it is a pure food drink—absolutely free from
the drug, caffeine, which makes coffee injurious to
most users.
It is significant that thousands of physicians
not only recommend, hut themselves use
POSTUM
—its worth having been fully demonstrated, not only in the home, but in Sanita
riums, Hospitals and Colleges.
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum— must he well boiled—lsc and 25c packages.
Instant Postum —soluble—no boiling—made in the cup with hot water, in
stantly. 30c and 50c tins.
Both kinds are delicious—cost per cup about the same—sold by Grocers ev

alum baking powder highly injurious to health. ”
Food economy now, more than ever,
demands the purchase and use of those food

In that city meat prices In 1912 had

Meal prices dropped suddenly from 29

cents per pound cheaper than that of
