Chattanooga, Tenn, July 6.-(SpeclaL)- A group of United States officers has been detsile. to r1arcl over the historic route from Chattanooga to Atlanta studying and inspecting the scene or Sherman's famous campaign through the state of Georgia The officers accompa- nie by squad of privates and wagon train left Lytle, Ga, Friday morning and expect to reach Atlanta in one week timc. Thirty-four officers are in the party. They are recent graduates from the military staff college at Fort Leav- enworth, Kansas. The party is Tn charge of Major Baughton of the Eleventh cavalry and one member of the party Is Lieutenant Kimball If the Twelfth cav airy which is stationed at Fort Ogle- thorpe. Twenty-fotr privates of the Twelfth and wagon train with provision and forage accompAny the officers.
 They carry gr,at many maps of the country and campaign, with detailed his- , res of Shermai's advance. It IS De- lieve1 that the Jarty will be well re- ceived throughout the journey. It Will be remembered that Father sherman at tempted last yeAr at about this season to repeat his lather's march through Georgia and the effort enflamed the South to an almost unbelievable antag- onism. In thtt case 1t was che Sher- man name togtther with the idea or the government furnishing an armed escort fo the priest that aroused the people. Had Father slerman' however, made peaceable jouiney over the route without the military features he would no doubt have bene hospitably entertained, and e.a-y possible courtesy accorded him.
 Each of tAe score of famous battles will be studied and nowhere in America can such aisuperb opportunity be found for the study of the science or war. Joseph E. Johnstons magnificent retreat is IS intefesting as Sherman's advance aru no doubt the officers will find 1t so. The party left Lytle on Friday at noon an., will srike camp at Buzzard Roost. Saturday. they will pass through Dal- toA and camp twelve miles south, Where they win remain until Monday morning.
 oIenerA William Tecumsen Snermln his mach to the seat at Chattanooga, May 5h, 1864 By following the route of Shefmans advance the officers will pass through more than score or Ia my battlefields and acquire an excel lent ilea of the campaign. Joseph E. Johnston was strongly entrenched at Daltot though his army had survived a bitter winter and was without neces- sary jeouipment General Sherman de- termhed ot move against the Confed- crate forces under Johnston and on into the ir terior of the country. The line of march followed closely the historic Western and Atlantic railway where every station is battlefield. General Johnston contested every inch of the grotnd and the retreat is considered a marvel, for every mile of advance cost the federal army dear while Johnston bro1ght his men off almost without loss.

Beauty is Costly

. 1t costs money TO be beautlful-that
is, If the beauty is of the kind THAT is
secured through cream jars and lotion
bottles.
"Not a few women" said a drug
gist, who has a smart clientele, "spend
at least $4,000 a year on toilet articles.
such as perfumes, powders. face
creams and tonics. This is more read
lily understood when it is known that
there are very delicate and special per-
fumes. for which $50 a bottle is some
times paid 1t is not unusual. either
for a wealthy woman to have her own
perfumes and toilet waters. all speci-
ally made by a secret recipe, and pro-
duced only for her exclusive use"
The druggist further said that wo-
men of this type think nothing OF
ordering hundreds Of dollars worth OF
toilet specialties at one time. Two
pint bottles OF a fine toilet water, two
pounds Of bath powder and two half
pint bottles of extract altogether can
equal the tidy sum Of $780,
Most of these women Of whom
speak, added the druggist, think nc
more Of spending several hundred dol
lars on toilet things at one time than
they do OF buying q. postage stamp
However, I happen to know that they
spend ten times that amount in philan-
thropic ways, which surely does miti-
gate their seeming offenses in otheI
