A GIRL I SAW
DO YOU know
WHAT I 3aw today?
A GIRL with the most
BEAUTIFUL HAIR imaginable.
I MADE up my mind
RIGHT THEN to find out
WHERE SHE got it,
SO I asked her.
SHE WAS just as nice
ABOUT IT as could be.
WHAT DO you think she said;
‘USE NEWBRO’S HERPICIDE.”
THEN SHE went on
TO TELL me
HER HAIR used to be
DULL, BRITTLE and lifeless.
FINALLY DANDRUFF began
TO ACCUMULATE.
HER HAIR came out.
HER SCALP itched
AND WAS hot and feverish.
SHL TRIED everything.
NOTHING DID much good,
SHE COULD see
AN IMPROVEMENT with
THE FIRST application
OF HERPICIDE.
THE DANDRUFF disappeared.
FIRE.
In a Diamond depends on the life, the snap, the brilliancy of nature’s
most wonderful pern.
How little attention some pay to this virtue! With many it is size,
size, size! And yet. fire, is the most important of all features in se
lecting a Diamond.
Fire is the result of fine, clear color; perfect cutting; absence of flaws.
It is the distinguishing work of
QUALITY DIAMONDS.
Fine color Diamonds are the hardest to mine and are therefore com
paratively scarce in the market. To dazzle in blazing splendor, they
must be cut according to definite, scientific laws. Flaws of carbon,
"ice." and fissures, all tend to break the blaze of a stone.
We have a reputation for handling Diamonds of unusual brilliancy—
in fact, we sell no other kind. And we mount them with care, too. If
you are about to purchase, come in. see our display. We show nice
snappy stones—

department of the Augusta postoffice.

ports from the various committees.
The main feature of the evening ses
sion was an address on Compulsory
Registration and Reciprocity by Miss
Barbara Frank. R. N. of New Orleans,
La., which was of particular interest
and enlightenment, a subject of inter
est and activity to nurses in general
all over the country. On Thursday,
after the call to Older, came the ad
dress of the president, Miss Alberta
Dozier, R. N., of the Wesley Memorial
Hospital, Atlanta, Ga., covering the
work of the year in a concise and
business-like manne,, stressing the
importance of co-operation between
the nurses and the examining board,
and between the hospital commissions
and the examining board. She also
urged a closer affiliation with the Na
tional Association of Nurses.
There were reminiscences by differ
ent members, followed by the report
of Miss Henrietta Myers, R. N., of
Savannah, as state association dele-

gate to the American National Asso
ciation of Nurses, recently held in
New Orleans. This was a very com
prehensive report, covering the large
field of matter, bringing out the main
points most ably. Miss Ada M. Fin
ley, R. N., of Atlanta .delegate to the
National Red Cross annual meeting,
also held at the same time as the
other national meetings in New Or
leans.
Dr. Howard Williams. M. D., of Ma
con, gave a most complimentary ad
dress on the value of trained nursing
in public health work, dating from
that of Florence Nightingale to the
present time. The Tuberculosis Prob
lem, by Mr. James P. Faulkner, of the
Raoul Foundation, was an interesting
one.
There were other talks and papers
no less interesting, followed by report
of the committee on resolutions, com
posed of Miss E. C. Westcott, R. N„
and Miss Henrietta Myers, R. N„ in
which they thanked the people of Ma
con. the local nurses, the Williams
Sanitarium staff, the hospital staff,
the Idle Hour Country Club, and the
Dempse yand Lanier hotels for their
contributions toward making the con
vention an enjoyable affair. Even the
drug stores issued complimentary
tickets for drinks at the various stores
during the days of the meeting, to all
members and visitors.
In addition to the regular program
of tlie meeting, there were many most
delightful social affairs. The associa
tion members were entertained on
Wednesday evening with a dinner at
the Lanier Hotel, by the Macon Hos
pital Commission, and later a lawn
party at the Williams Sanitarium, by
their staff. On Thursday a most de
lightful luncheon at the Idle Hour
Country Club. Automobiles were fur
nished and the ride to the club and
also about the city was most enjoy
able. The grand finale was, of course,
the banquet at the Hotel Dempsey,
this being particularly delightful with
its numerous charming toasts.

ive manufacture of a better re
frigerator was started in a small
rented shop. Old fashioned hon

always improving—have achiev

small, rented shop and the man
with the yearning for something
better have developed the larg

in the world.
Here the Leonard Cleanable
Refrigerators are built the
crowning achievement of thirty
years efforts. They are so hon
