NEW THIEF TRIBE
NO WIN ATLANTA
Takes Rose Bushes and Other Like
Things.

Atlanta, May "a new variety of
thief has been marauding in Atlanta
this spring. He is armed with IA
pickaXe and spade, but he doesn't rob
graves. He steals flowers, rose
bushes, vines, anything saleable that
he can dig up by the roots.
The northern part of the city,
Peachtree, Ponce de Leon avenue and
North boulevard, have suffered most.
The thief or gang of thieves, as is
considered more likely, have thor
ough knowledge of the things in
which they traffic and dig up only
the plants which find ready sale.
The police are watching all sales
and shipments of growing plants very
| closely in the hope that they will thus
/ be able to trace the thieves.
1t has become a common thing now
for a householder to stroll out on
| his front porch in the morning to find
nothing but a gaping hole in the
ground where his loveliest rose bush
stood the night before.

|1CTTM WAS FLEECED AS
SHIP STRUCK ICEBERG
.,,rsable Story Told of Occurrence on the Wrecked
Titanic Recently

When the ship struck the iceberg there
was only a very slight impact. We
joked at the thought of the Titanic's
going down, and after a second re-
sumed our poker game.
On deck there seemed to be little
confusion. In very short time we
won $1,000. Then for the first time
we heard that there was some excite
ment outside. Almost Immediately VI
heard shout about lifeboats and we
rushed up on deck. We did not see

THE FIRST GRAY HAIR
SIGN OF AGE
Easy aWy To Preserve Natural Color
of The Hair.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natural color. The care
of the hair, to prevent it from losing
it's color and lustre, is just as inn
portant as to care for teeth to keep
them from dis-coloring. Why spend
money for cosmetics and creams to
improve, the complexion, and yet ne
elect your hair, when gray hair is
even more conspicuous and Sugges-
tive of age than wrinkles or a poor
complexion? OF the two, it is easier
to preserve the natural color and beau
ty of the hair than it is to have good
complexion.
All that is necessary is the occas-
ional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, preparation of COM
mon garden Sage and Sulphur, COM
bined with other valuable remedies for
dry, harsh, faded hair, dandrutf, itch
ink scalp and falling hair. After a
few applications of this simple, harm
less remedy, your hair will gradually
be restored to its natural color, in q
short time the dandruff will be remov-
ed, and your hair will no longer come
out but will start to grow as Nature
intended it should.
Don't neglest your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make or
mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for fifty
cents a bottle, and your druggist will
give your money back if you are not
, satisfied after using. Purchase q
bottle today. You will never regret il
when you realize the difference it will
make in your appearance Special

vice with a sermon by the pastor on
the subject: Following the Safe Trail
to the End" The theme is suggested
by the Epistle lesson for the day, |
Peter 2:21-25. Some plain, practical,
everyday thoughts and lessons will be
presented in this sermon. 1t is said
that in the forests Of British Columbia
some lumbermen found the skeleton
of a man at the foot of a tree. The
man had starved to death; but while
he yet had strength enough to write he
had torn leaf from his diary and had
written on it in bold letters and fas-
tened it to the tree over his head:

Praise for the Rest Room.
B. B. ]
Secretary

Editor The Herald and News: Only
those who have visited the rest room
know what that name implies. One
can not say too much in praise Of the
noble woman whose whole heart is in
her work there, in beautifying the
rooms and caring for the wants OF her
weary companions.
made my first visit there few
days ago. Weary with a days shop
ping and longing for place to sit
down, while making purchases at
Mimnaughs, l glanced that way and
saw Mrs. Evans bidding some ladies
God speed. The thought came: That
is the place for me.
Ladies, if you have not visited the
rest room, be sure to call soon. l was
met very cordially by that gracious
manager, who conducted me to the
most comfortable large rocker piled
high with cushions, and there | sat per-
fectly charmed with the recital OF ner
difficulties in securing such comforts
for the weary and how, with great
perseverance she had overcome all
obstacles by her determined e1Iorls.
She. with the aid of a few kind and
considerate men and women OF the
town and county, has accomplished a
noble work.
The manager shows by her skill and
taste that she is the person to con-
dnct such an establishment for the
weary public. Every comofrt and
convenience is to be found there for
the aged and young; even the little
tots are not forgotten; kindergarten
apparatus to catch the eye OF the lit
tie one.
lust such a place has been needed
in our town for a long time-a refuge
for country women, especially moth
ers with young children, So many OF
us can not leave our babies at home.
Now we can take nurse and leave
both in the managers care and feel
that alls well-we can be called II
needed; whereas if we leave them at
home. we are in a great rush to get
through, in fact leaving so much un-
done, to ride perhaps miles to get
back to our babies in the country.
I soon felt rested to begin anew my
duties. We say with heart full OF
gratitude, God bless those who have
been instrumental in placing such a
place at our disposal M.
