Dear Mr. President Having been for years at
the head of the Confederate Veterans in Georgia,
| voice their sentiment in saying it would be
pleasing to them for Mrs. Longstreet to be
retained IN her present position
1t is generally agreed that she has made the
best postmaster that Gainesville has had in 40
years.
There is good business reason why she
should not be reappointed Of course, the politi-
clans may wish to bolster up their own interest
by having her removed
Mrs, Longstreet is one of the best women in
Georgia and stands high with everybody
Having been a Democrat all my life, l write
you as such
Thanking you for favorable consideration,

Will be an inspiring portrayal of the
Holy Land from Jerusalem to Galilee
and Syria The fact that neither the
people nor the land itself have mater

assures to Mr.. Newman's hearers a
deeper and clearer understanding OF
the Bible narrative than is possible IN
any other way.
The exquisite color views and mo-
ton pictures whic- he took last sum
mer will reproduce in vivid reality
not only the hallowed places in and
about Jerusalem, but also those OF
Nablus, Haiffa, Aka, and Nazareth.
Tiberias, Magdala and Capernaum on
the Sea Of Galilee. and many other
places mentioned in the Bible from
the nativity to the crucifiXion Will be

GRAY HAIR MAKES
ANYONE LOOK OLDER

1t is very foolish for any woman
TO allow her hair TO become gray
or faded, when it is such a simple
matter to have il retain its natural
color.
Ordinary hair dyes are not at
all necessary. All that you need
TO use, is just a little old-fash-
Toned sasatan solution (most all
druggists keep it prepared), put
little on a cloth, sponge or soft
hairbrush. and draw it through
the hair, taking one small strand
at q time.
\ few applications are all that
is needed 20 make all signs OF gray
hair disappear. and the lost color
returns so evenly and naturally,
that no one can possibly tell you
have used anything.

once they have given it trial. The
success Of this method Is due not
alone to its marvellous effectiveness
upon the deepest lines and crowsfeet,
as well as upon the very fine ones
but also to its surprisingly quick &C.
ton an its entire harmlessness. Its
simplicity and it's inexpensiveness are
other commendable features, for one
needs only dissolve an ounce Of pow
dered saxolite in half pint witch
hazel, and battle the face in this so
luton. At once remarkable trans
formation is beheld.
1t is not only the effect on wrinkles
and creases that is so noticeable, but
facial contour is remarkably i'm
proved and the face looks much
younger. One should be sure to ask
the druggist for the powdered saxo-
lite. The lotion. being SO refreshing,
is particularly grateful to tired faces
