Atlanta, Ga., October 14, —The twenty-ninth reunion of United Confederate Veterans, which has just come to a close iu Atlanta, was a record-breaker in more ways 'than one. Not a single veteran died during the four days and not a single vet eran, in the opinion of competent medical authorities, left atlanta at the end of the reunion so sick or week or tired that he will soon die from the effects of the strenuous time. And this, too, despite the fact t hat reunion week had one of the heaviest and most violent rain storms in Atlanta’s history, a storm that drowned out the Con federate camp and had everybody apprehensive for the health and safety of its ten thousand occu pants. Credit for this splendid showing is due to many causes, to the vet erans themselves for their grit and pluck, to tne reunion committee which planned so wisely for their comfort, to the Boy Scouts who were their constant guides and friends, and to the thousand indi vidual Atlantians who ilid their level best to help the veterans at at all times. Especially did the response of Atlantians to the emer gency N on the day of the rainstorm, when hundreds of people drove their automobiles to Piedmont Park to get veterans, proved to tiie veterans that the hearts of all Atlanta’s people wore theirs. There is one organization, how ever, moro directly concerned wit h preserving the health and lives of the veterans, than any other and that is the American Red Cross. As one old man expressed it, about to depart homeward with a pair of Red Cross pajamas hanging out of one pocket and a pair of Red Cross socks sticking from another: “When my wife kept a-knittin’ an’ a-knittin’ for the soldiers in France, 1 useter tell her she was a workin’ too hard and it wasn’t necessary. But I’m here to say now that if it. wasn’t for the Red Cross and its knitters and its mis ses. I mightn't been here to tell it. They give me socks when my feet was wet ter’n sponges, they give me hot coffee when I was shiverin' cold inside, they give me sand wiches when my stiimmick was cryin’ like a baby and they dosed me with some sort, o’ pills that had my old blackberry bitters beat a city block. And they knocked the inllucnzy clean to Goshen! Me for the Red Cross. We didn’t have ’em in the Confederate war, but we gottem now and 1 say, we couldn’t do without ’em!” What the Red Cross actually did was to operate four medical aid stations at the camp, at the two railroad stations and at the city auditorium, with nurses and doctors on Dr. Frank K. Boland’s staff of volunteers on duty day and night; to distribute warm underclothing and dry socks that practically saved the lives of many veterans during the wet spell; to help secure churches and homes for the veterans when they were rained out; to transport supplies, patients,*stretchers, garbage pails, cooking utensils and other materi als when they were badly needed; to serve hot coffee and sandwiches day and night at the trains; to keep ambulances on the job during the parade and nurses who inspect ed the veterans before the march, getting automobiles for those not fit to walk, watched over them and picked ui> those who dropped out, and when it was over supplied food and drink to the worn-out old men. The entire Red Cross staff, par ticularly the nurses, worked like beavers the entire week, but when it was over, they declared the long hours and the heavy tasks were more than compensated by the courtesy, the kindness and the gratitude of the old soldiers they served.

Their two oldest children are in school and were left at home. They reside at Palm Beach, Flori da, where he is an employee of the Florida East Coast Railway. Timely Advice to Children. The Florida Metropolis. If you have children read this to them. Read it several times. Impress it upon their memory. For it may be the word of warning little children in crowded streets need. Too many of them are being hurt —and killed by street acci dents. It is all well and good to warn drivers of automobile, trucks and delivery wagons. They must be careful. They must help us guard the lives of our children. But let us not forget to teach the lessons of safety to our children. Such a lesson is contained in the following suggestions made by Raymond \Y. Pullman, superin tendent of police, Washington, D. C. He asks children — Do not play in the street where there is heavy vehicle t raffic. Never step off the sidewalk into the street without first looking up and down the street to make sure no vehicle of any kind is near. Do not cross the street diagon ally or in the middle of the block, wait until you come to a crossing at the end of the block and then cross at right angles. Under no condition catch hold of any moving vehicle. Many children are maimed and killed each year as a result of this prac tice. Do not attempt in any way to steal a ride on any vehicle. Do not touch any part of a auto mobile standing in the street. Look out for motorcycles; look both ways, for the motorcycle comes quickly and often without warning. Do not play on street car tracks or near them. Do not put your heads or arms out of the open windows of a street car. Do not try to get on or off a street car while it is moving. Wait until it stops. Do not cross close behind a street car or automobile. Some thing may be coming from the oilier direction. Do not run across in front of a street car. Something may be coming on the other side. Do not play or walk on railroad tracks, or climb on freight or pas senger trains. Do not play with matches. Work to prevent fires. Do not get close to a bonfire started in the open. Do not light a match if you smell gas in a room. Find some older person and tell him. Do not climb on ice wagon after a piece of ice. This is dangerous. The horses may start off suddenly and you may be crushed by falling ice. Novel 1 , at any time or place, touch a swinging wire that is in the air or on tiie ground. Do not go near such a wire, for if it is a live electric wire, with the power on, you may be killed, or badly burned if touched by it. Fall Spraying for San Jose Scale. A large per centage of all the home orchards and commercial or chards of Georgia, as well as other slates, are more or less infected by the San Jose Scale. At one time this scale threatened the fruit in dustry of the entire country, but sprays were soon found by which it could be controlled. The Georgia Experiment Station has tested a large number of the proprietary brands of mixtures re commended for this purpose, as well as a number of home-made formulas. The most common of the propri etary articles are the various com pounds of lime and sulphur, and the miscible oils. Practically all of these put out by responsible companies are effective if applied according to directions sent out by the manufacturers. One of the common home made lime-sulphur mixtures may be made bv the following formula: Flowers of Sulphur 16 pounds .Stone (Unslaked) Lime. 14 pounds Water 50 gallons Tee sulphur is run through a piece of fly screen so as to rid it of lumps. It is then made into a thin soupy paste by adding water slowly and stirring. The lime is next put in and more water added, and the mixture stirred slowly, as the lime slakes. Following this, about ten gallons of water added and the mixture boiled from fifty minutes to one hour. It is then made up to 50 gallons, with warm water, and sprayed onto the trees while warm. The San Jose Scale is so resist ant to sprays, that any spray strong enough to kill it will de stroy the foliage of the trees if ap plied in the summer. We there fore have to spray against the San Jose Scale during the dormant season. Where the trees are badly in vested two sprayings should be given—the first, soon after the JHE BOSTON STORE A.

There are three democrats be fore the public eye as the success or of President Wilson. The first is William G. McAdoo. the president’s son-in-law, and for mer Secretory of the Treasury. There is no question that Mr. McAdoo is a man of strong person ality and ability, and would make an admirable chief executive. The second is Gilbert M. Hitch cock, United States senator from Nebraska, who is one of the fore most figures in the present Ameri ca® congress. He has assumed the leadership of the real demo cratic forces in the senate in favor of the President’s policy as to the peace treaty and the league of nations. The third is A. Mitchell Palmer, the present United States Attor ney-General. Mr. Palmer is a very strong man, and in every sense available presidential timber. He is known as the most conspicious democrat in Pennsylvania. He has had ample training—-as a member of the lower house of con gress, alien property custodian during the war, prior to liis ele vation to the present position of Attorney-General.

The change was made possible by the recom mendation of our immediate con gressman, and lie lias the thanks of the people interested.
