THE LION’S WHELPS.
When she whelped them forth to the
ends of the .earth
And licked their eyes to light.
Did she know that the cubs she was
giving birth •
Would learn the law of the fight?
Was she given to know that the day
would come
When the foe would seek her life,
And she could with a syllable bring
them home
To share her mortal strife.
They have answered, each British
lion’s whelp,
They have gone to their mother's
side.
They were grown and ready and strong
to help ,
When the word came over the tide.
To heaven's four winds she flung her
call
For all they had to give:
“Not one of you lives if England fall,
Nor dies if England live.”
When the foe had struck and her need
was sore,
She called to them to come.
And the air was shattered with roar
on roar
As the lion’s whelps went home.

FRUIT CAKE GIFT
FOR 52 YEARS.
Following a custom that has ob
tained for fifty-two years, the family
of Dr, Charles Crouch, of Petersburg,
Va„ has sent to the family of A. T.
Holt, of Macon, a big Christmas fruit
cake. The cake arrived Wednesday
| afternoon and was cut for the Christ
inas dinner at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles C. Holt.
During the war between the states,
A. T. Holt was stricken ill and was
taken to the home of Dr. Crouch. A
bond of friendship drew them close
together and on the Christmas follow
ing Mr. Holt's sojourn at the Crouch
home, Mrs. Crouch sent him a big fruit
cake as a token of friendship the fam
ily held for him.
For fifty-two consecutive years a
fruit cake has been sent to the Holts.
Several years ago whon Dr. Crourh
died, Mrs. Crouch continued the cus
tom and at her death her daughter
took up the custom, so the cake now'
comes from Mrs. J. W. Crouch.
Mr. Holt died a few years ago and
his son. Charles C. Holt, of Culver
street, who was named for Dr. Crouch,
receives the cake
The same recipe used 52 years ago
is still used in making the cake and
the Holts say it is the finest they have
ever tasted.—Macon Telegraph.
GOOD-BYE SHIRT WAIST.
Good-bye shirt waist. Its fate is
sealed. Women of fashion have de
clared that it must go, we are told,
and in its place is coming a new fang
led one-piece coat-dress consisting of
coat and skirt. It is in reality a single
garment parading under the guise of
two, and is especially designed for use
in California during the fair season.

The weekly style bulletin of the Fash
ion Art League sent to its members
yesterday through its president, Mine.
Alla Ripley, describes the new' style as
follows:
“Women of fashion are showing
their preference for the ‘Robe Tail
leur’ or one piece coat-dress and it
it seems destined to great popularity
as the season advances. The smartest
style is in white although dark shades
may be worn. The dress coat will
prove especially popular for Califor
nia. and Florida w'ear and it is likely
that the garment will be in great de
mand for those attending the Califor
nia fair because of its adaptability to
traveling conditions. With the coming
of this garment conies the extinction
of the shirt waist. It has outlived its
days of popularity.
"The vogue of the coat-dress marks
the recognition by exclusive dressers
of a garment that has been wmrn to
some extent in one form or another
for several years. Fine serge, gabar
dine, silk cashmere, satin cloth, faille,
taffeta and poplin are all suitable
materials and will meet every individ
ual requirement. The colors include
black, navy blue, bottle green, seal
brown, sand, putty and grey. For Cal
ifornia and southern wear and among
the smartest dressers white will pre
dominate.
“The style of this garment may in
’ elude any adaptation of a flaring skirt
and a long fitting sleeve with a short
jacket-effect bodice to be w'orn with
an adjustable guimpe with or without
a high collar. The high stock collar
will be in decided evidence again this
spring but that is only another fashion
caprice that demands a low neck for
fall and winter and a high neck for
spring and summer.”
MR. RAWORTH’S CHRISTMAS
CELEBRATION.
Many little hearts w'ere made glad
this morning w’hen the children at the
Sibley Day Nursery W'ere ushered Into
the assembly room where the big
Christmas tree stood ablaze with lights
and laden with gifts for everyone.
Santa Claus came bustling in and af
ter the children had sung a son, each
little girl rereived a doll and every
little boy a drum, or gun, or a base
ball and bat. or other toy, together
with a big bag of fruit, candy and
nuts. Happiness reigned supreme.
Every little face, from the tiny baby
in his cradle to the big boys and giris
was bright and shining with Christmas
joy.
This tree, the toys, eto H were a per
sonal gift from Mr. T. S. Raworth, the
genial president of the Sibley Mill,
whose largeness of heart finds an out
let in this direction each Christmas
time. To Mr. Raworth also are the
hundreds of employes of the Sibley
Mill indebted for a gift of fruit and
sweets. This donation is usually mads
by the mill hut on account of the ex
isting conditions this year the direc
tors did not think it advisable to make
this outlay, so Mr. Raworth generously
came forward with the offer to person
ally provide each employe of the mill
with the usual bag of fruit, candy and
nuts with his best wishes for their
happiness and well being.
WAR MAKES
WOMEN DIVINE.
Will Irwin, special war correspond
ent of The American Magazine, con
tributes to the January number of that
publication an article entitled "Ha's
< >ff to France” in which he devotes
a large part to showing what the wo
men are doing for their country—how
the; have taken hold and are doing
pretty nearly everything that their
able bodied husbands and sons used
to do. Following is a little extract from
the article:
"In the intervals between their other
cares, the women knit—knit eternall;
and to better purpose than those Pa
risian women who knitted about the
guillotine when heads were falling.
Winter is coming on. It will be cold
campaigning along the great line. The
boys will need warm stockings and
mufflers. The great spinning dlstric's
of the north being in German hands,
the supply of yarn Is falling short.
Madame is raveling her knitted arti
cles of household adornment for yarn.
"It was one of these knitting women
who summed up for me all the wom
anhood of France in this period of
tragic stress. I had stopped at an inn
on the road between Havre and Cau
debec. The waitress laid down her
knitting as she rose to serve me. When
she had attended to my wants, she
took it up again. She was of the blond,
Norman type, a comely girl enough.
She was dressed in black, and the out
lines of her eyes were blurred. In
her pose over the knitting. In every
move of her, appeared a divinity of
grief—a Madonna quality.
"I watched her a long time surrep
titiously before she called up a mem
ory. Two years before I had put Into
this inn with a gay automobile party.
This very maid had served us—and
slanged us. She wis the French ver
sion of the lively, impudent American
waitress who keeps her wits sharp by
bandying repartee with traveling men.
the type which our playwrights love.
Now. she was doing a man's work ns
the hotel porter as well as her woman's
work. I suppose that war such as
this, with Its wholesale machine-made
murder, renders most men brutes, at
least for the time. But it renders wo
men divine."

Complexions
Were Said to Be Due to the Excellent
Care Taken of the Blood. Stuart’s
Calcium Wafers Banish All
Skin Troubles.
During the reign of Louis XVI. when
Marie Antoinette was surrounded by
such a galaxy of beauties and such
famously handsome men, the French

Anyone can use Stuart’s Caloium
Wafers and restore complexion in an
easy manner.
The secret of these complexions in
that age no doubt was entirely due to
the care taken to keep the blood al
ways pure. In this rapid-fire age of
hustle and bustle most people pay no
attention to this important feature of
life and so they are given to pimples,
liver spots, blackheads, eczema, etc.
Stuart’s Calcium Wafers are com
posed of Calcium Sulphide in connec
tion with other properties and this in
gredient is the greatest blood purifier
known to science.
Stuart's Calcium Wafers will clear
the most obstinate complexion, be
cause the - go right into the blood and
remove the cause of the trouble. Tho
blood is cleansed of all impurities and
foreign substances and these are
quickly eliminated from the system.
You'll notice a wonderful change in a
few (lays—you w ill hardly , know your
self in a week.
And Stuart’s Calcium Wafers are
absolutely harmless to anyone. Their
ingredients are just what a physician
prescribes in most cases of skin erup
tions and poor blood. These wafers
are put up in a concentrated form,
which makes them act quickly and
thoroughly.
You can get Stuart’s Calcium Wa
fers at any drug store at 50 cents n

then look at yourself in the mirror
in a few days, and find all those awful
pimples, blackheads, acne, boils, liver
spots, rash, eczema and that muddy
complexion rapidly disappearing and
