For Gray Hair
II Can Be Darkened Very cleverly
by Using This Simple Formula.

In this age, when ones personal
appearance counts for so much. and
when both the social and business
world puts ban upon everything
that denotes the approach of age, il
becomes matter Of duty to those
whose hair is turning gray to adopt
some rational means of darkening il,
thus hiding the traces of Time. An
excellent. yet very simple solution of
the problem is to procure at the drug

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
SET j. 6. RECORD
Friendly Rivalry Between At
Ianta Bodies Results in New
Attendance Marks.

Atlanta is witnessing sunday school
battle which has begun to attract the
attention of the entire country. This
city shelters each Sabbath day two of
the largest, if not THE largest. Sun
day school classes in the entire coun-
try. This distinction has been brought
about entirely through the efforts of
the members Of the Sunday schools of
the Second Baptist and the First Chris
tian churches
Three weeks ago the Christians came
to the Baptists with the gauge of bat
tie in the form of a def that within
thirteen weeks they could outstrip the
Baptists in the number Of new Sunday
school members secured and at the end
Of that time have the largest Sunday
school congregation of any similar
body in the United States-not barring
! any denominations. The def was at
once challenged by the Baptists. 4
plan of combat was mapped out. A
system of points was arranged. The
Baptists, already the stronger as to
Sunday school attendance were handi-
/ capped 80 points-the sum to be taken
out of the Baptist total when the con-
! test would naturally end thirteen weeks
! hence.
Work on Point System.
The contestants fixed up a schedule
about as follows: New members
counted points; members on time, 2
points members in seat at $50 a. M,
1 point members staying to church, 2
points.
Then the merry war was on. The
first Sunday the Christians showed a
distinct gain over their Baptist rivals.
The second Sunday the Baptists turned
out more even showing. Last Sun
! day the Baptists reported 142 new
members, while the Christians gjoated
over 159 new faces.
The Baptists reported 790 persons
present at the Sunday school session.
The Christians proudly pointed to the
attendance record OF 971.
What next Sunday will bring forth
is probematical. Both sides are comb
ing the highways ana the byways for
members. Children who have never
seen the inside of any Sunday school
room are being bundled up Sunday
morning and taken to the services. Men
and women, boys and girls, matrons
and fathers are all taking part in the
early morning something they
never did before in the course Of their
lives.
Work Producing Good Results.
This battle IS not waged over any
cause save from the most friendly spir-
it," said DR.. White. pastor Of the Sec
ond Baptist church, today. I'VE are
just friendly rivals-that is all. AL
ready the campaign has proved fruit
full We are reaching into homes which
never knew the real meaning and help
of Sunday school before. We are
touching people who will largely bene-
fit by association with the Sunday
school work, and already in our efforts
to get new members we have discov-
eerd that many people are being kept
from the Sunday schools by a lack of
the necessities OF life-I mean clothes.
in some instances. These cases would
never have been brought to light save
for this campaign, and thank God we
started it,"
The campaign still has ten weeks to
run. What those weeks will bring
forth yet remains to be seen.

OLIVE Tablets
OIL the Bowels
A Physicians Substitute for
Dangerous CalOmel

When you feel that your liver and
bowels need help take DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets, Substitute for calomel.
Calomel is effective, but dangerous
causing bad after effects.
Olive Tablets are especially made
to take the place of Calomel. DR..
Edwards for years has been Calomels
foe. He saw it's dangers and its
disadvantages in seventeen years
practice, treating patients for all
kinds of liver and bowel complaints
In his efforts to do without Calomel
he developed his now famous little
e-oil-colored tablets. Olive Tab
let's are mild but effective. Safe and
sure Pleasant to take but unfailing
in results.
Olive Tablets oil the bowels just
enough TO start Natures own action,
and they tone up the liver at the same
time. They are made from rare
| ombination of vegetable compounds
mixed with olive oil
If you want to regain that feeling
| of joyous buoyancy and clear thought
take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. They
| work like a vacation. 10 and %

Every little Olive Tablet has a
movement all it's own"

QUICKSILVER MINING.
An Occupation That Quickly Doons
the Workers.

An Occupation That Quickly Dooms
the Workers.
The chief quicksilver mines in Eu-
rope are in the Spanish town of Alma
den, which is an Arabic word, mean
ing 1.-The mine of quicksilver" These
mines were formerly worked by the
Iberians and after them by the ancient
Romans. Between 1645 and 1S43 the
Spanish government employed galley
slaves in them, an occupation that
soon ended in death. The fumes of
the mercury produce constant saliva
ton, and the system becomes perme-
ated with the metal.
At first the victim is seized with
tremblings, and then the teeth drop
out; pains in the bones follow and then
death. The annual yield of mercury
is 100000 pounds. to produce which
1000 men are engaged in this I'M
healthy employment.
After Almaden SO far as yield OF
quicksilver is concerned comes Idria
an Austrian town, twenty-eight miles
from Triest. These mines also were
once worked by criminals, who, owing
to the terrible qualities Of the mineral
expired after about two years. service
There are now nearly 500 miners en-
gagged in the work at Idria. They are
induced to enter the mines by higf
pay. A pension Is allowed when they
are disabled, and provision is made fol
their widows and children.-Pearson':

Rendino of Great Guns.

Among the problems with which ar
my and navy engineers have to deal
nowadays is that of the dropping of
the muzzles of excessively long guns
under the stress of their own weight
Experiments have shown that wire
wound guns of twelve inch caliber and
fifty feet length droop at the muzzle
about four and a half minutes of arc,
while built up solid guns of the same
size droop about two and half min
utes. Differences of temperature in
the body of the gun also cause bend
ings. which may either increase the
droop at the muzZle or counteract it
according as it is the upper or under
part of the gun that has the higher
temperature. In consequence of these
distortions projectiles on leaving gun
have wabbly motion, continuing uI
to 500 yards, and probably more.

PREHISTORIC ANIMALS.
Rocks In Which They Are Preserved
Denote Their Ace

Fossil remains of prehistoric animals
would not have been preserved and
handed down to us through all the ages
had these remains been exposed to the
air.
Fortunately for the scientists OF to
day, when these animals persisted the
rock which holds their remains was
merely soft mud or drifting sand. 1t
encompassed the carcass of the animal,
held it tight from air and water and
during the intervening ages passed
through the various processes until it
became solid rock.
Some of these remains, even those
of the oldest animals, have been dis
covered quite close to the surface. This
is because the crust of the earth is
like paper wrapping. folding and
crumbling under the pressure Of the
gases and fire of the interior. with the
result that here and there the crust has
been turned upside down, so that the
lower strata of rock are on top.
And it is the particular stratum of
rock that reveals the approximate age
of the animal. Biologists. on examina
ton, can tell the age of the rock. which
gives them the date at which the ami

uary s, 1858. His education was re-
ceived principally at the normal

supplemented by year of study in
the medical department of the Uni

educational work would be more to
his liking than the practice of medi-

accept position as principal Of a
business college in Freeport, Ill. After
spending about ten years with bust
ness institutes in various illinois cit

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
An Incident That Marked His Spirit

An Incident That Marked His Spirit
and independence.
In his "Glimpses of the Confederate
Army" in the American Review of Re
views Randolph n. McKim writes:
1T seems to me as l look back that
one of the things which stood out
strongly in the Confederate army was
the independence and the initiative of
the individual soldier. 1t would have
been a better army in the field if it had
been welded together by a stricter dis
cipline, but this defect was largely
atoned for by the strong individuality
of the units in the column. 1t was not
easy TO demoralize body composed Of
men who thought and acted in a spirit
of independence in battle.
LAS an illustration of the spirit of
the private soldier 1 recall an incident
TO this effect. Major General Gordon
had organized a strong column to make
a night attack on Grants lines at Pc
tershurg When he was ready to move

and said:

How Scarlet Fever Spread
In AWOwn, Sage County
A True Story

boris six months old baby was lying
in its crib kicking up its rosy feet ana
chewing its chubby fists No woman
could restrain herself under such cir
cumstances and she kissed his feet,
his SALIVA Netted hands and his sweet
little button-hole mouth. Fifteen days
later. a little white coffin covered with
flowers was carried out of that house
and the minister said the Lord has
given and the Lord has taken away.
When the mother returned. the 9th
er children had arrived from school
for dinner. One was lying on the bed
beside the sick child, the other two
We're sitting on the edge OF the bed
and the sick one was coughing and
spraying infection into the air which
the other children certainly inhaled.
The children were scolded and sent
out of the sick room, and the mother
contented herself with the observa-
ton that Mary didn't seem TO be very
sick, the case was mild. and therefore
the exposure of ner other children
might not amount TO anything.
They all continued going 10 school
until every one came down with scar
let fever and the eldest died.
OF course an epidemic appeared in
the school. and there were three
deaths to its score The schools were
closed and a considerable expense in
Cured.
1t is indeed expensive and unfortun-
ate for a community to have one or
more doctors who violate the law by
refusing or neglecting TO report the
infectious and contagious diseases
they attend. Such doctors are not con
SENATORS of the public health and are
really enemies to mankind.
AS for those people. who like the
mother in this instance will purposely
employ law violating doctors and use
other means to prevent quarantine
what shall be said of them?
This true story can be duplicated in
almost every town and city of the
state. And what pity ii is?
