PREPARING FOR
The GREAT RACE
CELEBRATED DRIVERS READY.
OLDFIELD AND GRAHAM HAVE
GONE TO ORMONDE BEACH.

MIR. BrysOn Says the Programme for
the Great Event VIII BE An
nOunced as Soon as He Has n
Full List of Those Who Are Will
ing to start Their Flyers Here.
Many Celebrated Chafeurs Coming
to Savannah This Week-Date
Will Probably Be Feb. 6 for the
Big Championship Event.
Manager T. A. Bryson of the worlds
championship contest for the auto race
of five miles on a circular track is
busy making arrangements for the
meeting for Barney Oldfield of Detroit
and Charles Graham of New York,
which will take place on the Savannah
track about Feb. 6.
In addition to the championship
event Manager Bryson is now arrang-
ing a race that will be open to all To-
cal autoists and no professionals will
be allowed to enter. He has also
planned for races between numbers of
the visiting drivers of note, and the
indications are that the meet here will
be little less interesting than the one
which will be held at Ormonde Beach
commencing on the 2Sth.
Messrs. Oldfield and Graham have
gone to Ormonde Beach with their
Winton racers, and will stay there a
few days before coming to Savannah.
Both of these famous drivers will
spend several days trying the turns
on the Savannah track before the
great contest takes place. Their
machines will have to be adjusted to
the curves and they will make them
selves thoroughly familiar with every
inch of the course.
Under the agreement entered into
with Mr.. Bryson the championship
race must be run in less than five min
utes, the distance being five miles. AS
this is a worlds championship event
| it is open to all who desire to enter,
and it is possible that there will be a
| number of other contestants.
Messrs. Rainey and party will reach
| Savannah the latter part of the week,
and take up their abode at the Ep-
stein residence on East Liberty street.
| The Raineys will bring three machines
with them, and all of their party will
| have handsome and speedy cars.
Great interest is being manifested
all over the country in the race to be
run between Oldfield and Graham. AT
| present Oldfeld holds the out-of-door
record for five miles on a circular dirt
track making the distance in some
thing less than minutes and 80 sec
| onds. Graham claims that he can
beat this considerably, and the strug-
gle will be a hard one, and the red
devils will fairly set the Savannah
track on fire.

London Physician Raises Hornets
Nest by Telling PabIic So.
From the New York Times.
An English physician has raised
hornets nest about his own ears and
greatly excited the Scottish subjects of
his majesty by gravely asserting in
the columns of the London Daily Mail
that instead of being a wholesome and
nutritious food oatmeal porridge is
rapidly attaining the proportions of
national curse" An eminent Scotch
physician comes to the defense of his
English colleague and ventures the as
sertion that the oatmeal diet in Glas-
gov children is directly and solely re-
sponsible for the prevalence of rickets
in that city. If he is right, oatmeal is
not the efficient bone-forming food
which il has been considered. He
further says:
"Rickets is enormously on the in
crease in England. especially among
the poorer classes, who, misled as to
the value of oatmeal as food, give
Il to their children for breakfast, and
so fill them up with stodgy and in
sufficientIy nourishing food, instead of
more easily digested things, such as
bread. meat and milk, less quantity
of which would supply far more au-
triment. People who feed their chill
dren on oatmeal are literally starv-
ing them. Oatmeal is one Of the
greatest blessings the medical profess
sion have ever known. II fills their
surReries and II increases their in
comes. What the effect of it's increased
popularity will be on the national ply
slaue, though. I am afraid to think"

From Harper's Bazer.


During the past summer, which I
spent amongst exclusively French peo-
pie in a hotel at SAINT Germain, es-
timated that 1 lost quite twenty-four
hours out of each week saying good
morning and good evening to the men,
women, little children and dogs about
me. If you encounter the same per-
son twenty-five times in the same day
you must smile rapturously, pause, at
least shake hands If you do not kiss,
tremendously inquire how he or she
is going" and tremendously bid
him or her "au revoir" at parting.
Not only every man and women eX-
poets this. but all the little children
toddle up to you, shake hands, and
exact the same amount of ceremony
Then every well-regulated French
family has a dog who more than like
ly occupies a chair and eats off a
plate beside you at the table, so that
il is considered churlish if you do not
also stop and tell the dog bon jour"
and "au revoir" a dozen times day,
pausing to take the paw which he is
prettily taught to extend TO you"
When the washerwoman brings
home your linen, there are at least
five minutes spent in tremendously
greeting and parting from her. In
the operation of receiving and paying
for linen you exchange 'mercis ana
"pardons" not fever than ten times.
ANY other serving-person or trades
man who comes to do business with
YOU throughout the day you similarly
receive with bon jour, monsieur" and
eau revoir, monsieur" and you thank
him and beg his pardon as often as
YOU can possibly get the words into

IT have no more
nervous headaches
and rest very well at
night"


When a woman suffers from female
weakness and irregularity or other forms
of womanly disease, the effect is GER
tenn. the general effect being, as in Mrs.
Woodin's case, NERVOUS headaches, rest
lessness at night" and a rundown condi-
ton. It Is simply common sense then
which says if you cure the female weak
ness, irregularity, etc, you will cure the
nervousness, sleeplessness and other con-
sequences of womanly disease.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures
the womanly diseases which undermine
the general health. 1t establishes regl-
larity, dries enfeebling drains, heals in
hammation and liberation, and cures
female weakness. 1t cures headache,

ing the womanly diseases which cause
these ailments.
