lCHRISTY'S DECIDE TO
MAKE UP DIFFERENCES

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Sept. 24-At a
family luncheon today Howard Chandler
Christy, the artist, announced to rela-
tives that a thorough understanding had
been established between him and Mrs
Christy, and that they were reconciled.
He said that Mrs. Christy would go to
New York next week to terminate her
engagement with a newspaper there and
dispose of other matters, after which
she would return to Union Falls
1t is understood that Mr.. and Mrs.
Christy will spend the greater part of
each year in the Ohio home, with occa-
sional visits to New York, and If the
artists business permits, spend part of
each winter in New York. Mrs. Christy
has been here with the daughter, Nata-
lie, for several days. 1t was difference
of opinion about a place Of residence
which figured in the recent separation
of the Christys.

Then is the time for her to pluck VIC

unripe tomatoes clinging to the vines are
a harvest in themselves. Even after the
leaves and young stems are frost-bitten.
the vines may be torn out by the roots

Following the example of the respected

for green tomato soy. which was, to the
best OF my knowledge and belief. orig

for her family at least sixty years agone,
and left the formula to her children. The
product has held an honored place upon
my table and IN my cupboard and store

other good things. 1t improves with age.

turn into a porcelain-lined or nickel

1852 BABIES BORN \
IN ATLANTA This YEAR
Record Birth Month for 1910
Was January--BabieS Boost
the Census

There has been no dearth of babies in
Atlanta this year. The good old stork,
that presides over the ''Tiny-Mite" trans
portation liens, is keeping quite busy
these days.
The number of births during the hrst
eight months of 1910 exceeds those of
the same period in 1909 by 1877. The total
births in January, February, March,
April, May, June, July and August, last
year, was 1885. This year there have
been 1882 births.
The health department, where the
birth, death and other such statistics
are gathered, states that although every
effort is made to get reports on all
births, there are many colored births
of which the department never received
notice.
An interesting table, showing the num-
Der of births by months, both white and
colored, for the years 1909 and 1910, Is

Hats are trimmed or wholly made of
the Persian silks. and scarfs, waists and
