This is the season of sassafras tea!
Granny is sure it's a wonderful
thing; twenty-five gallons she pours
into me, saying it cures all humors
Of spring. "Sassafras tea is snare
and fake" so all the eminent scien-
lists say; "ne'er will it Danish pain
or an ache, it is as vain as a broth
made of hay" Granny knows bet
ter; she's old and she's wise, she has
seen mortals both come and depart;
all of the love of the worlds in her
eyes, all of it's kindness is stored in
her heart. Granny has seen the
long march of the years, years which
have scattered the snow on her
head; granny has known much of
laughter and tears, granny has
closed the dim eyes of the dead.
What do I care what the scientists
say? Granny is ancient and won
drodsly wise; granny is brewing q
potion today-tea before which
every malady flies. Here's to old
granny, her dope and her pills! Sos
shall swallow, with evident glee,
whether it cures me or whether it
kills, twenty-five gallons of sassa-
fras tea!-Walt Mason. ,.s

GREEKS MAY CONTROL THE
DARDANELLES IN FUTURE
Atlanta Greeks Claim Their
Country viii Hold All Aegean
- SeaCoaSt

If the Balkan states are allowed to
take all of Turkey which they con-
quer, each little state taking that pOr-
ton of the Ottoman empire conquered
by itself. Greece will get the largest
and most valuable piece, according to
Atlanta Greeks, who have followed the
situation closely.
Greece will claim all of the Aegean
sea coast, including the control of the
Dardanelles. This claim would take
in the two CULTS, Salonica and Con-
tessa, the ports of Salonica, Kavala,
Thasos and Enos. and also the port of
Gallipoli on the Dardanelles.
The claims of the Greeks are based
upon the part which the Grecian navy
played in the war. After sinking a
Turkish battleship and then Smelling
the fort Of Salonica, the fleet .speeded
up the Turkish coast to the Dardanel-
les and there shut off communication
with Asiatic Turkey.
Had Turkey been able to transport
her Asiatic armies. over to Europe the
Balkan states could not have COPIED
with the gigantic force. BY standing
in. the Dardanelles the Grecian fleet
has stopped communication between
European and Asiatic Turkey.
