"WALk SOFTLY AND SPEAK

In Berlin there is a place where d; all hours of the day you can see in a grim spectacle the stark underside of the war.
 It was already dark one afternoon when I came to a building of red brick which had been the old war academy. As l climbed the broad stone stairs inside, two women in black were coming down, and one was supporting the other, who was sob- bing violently. On the floor above found lofty chamber, with lead-col- ored columns at either end and pie lures of Prussian heroes upon the walls and ceiling. Although this hall was crowded, all was strangely hush ed and still. Upon a placard on one wall was written in heavy letters, Walk softly and speak low"
 Down the center of the hall ran a long semi-circular counter, behind which sat many elderly clerks, most of them in black frock suits. And facing this counter in rows of chairs several hundred men and women tense and silent, motionless as though at some gripping tragedy, sat wach ing a great red curtain at one end of the chamber. This curtain was restless, never still. Every few mo ments it leaped apart as messen ger came quickly in. Then a name would be called out. and some mar or woman would jump up and go te the counter, would stand there rigid listening. Here Germany learns o her dead.
 Forty-five hundred hospitals report ed to this place each week, all pour ing in the details which in scores O busy rooms men and girls by hun dreds, writing and typewriting, copy ing, comparing, checking, classifyin, with Prussian precision, were build ing up into neat little typewriter tales, which on postcards every da! were sent out by the thousands t, German towns and villages, to b. read by wives and mothers.
 From every town and village, too came daily stream of inquiries, al of which were answered at once. I is part of this uncanny, miraculous German system. It saves German wives and mothers long, terrible weeks of waiting for news, and s' helps to keep up the nations strength it's courage and endurance.-Schnecta dy Union-Star.

is a very religious man and firmly
believes the earnest prayers of his
mother availed to bring him home
alive from the war. He is now over
20 years old but does not look over
90. Indeed many men look as old
as he does at so. He is a very in
teresting man and has taken on new
life since he was relieved of that
heavy bullet which was a grieyous
burden. His faithful wife is still
beside him and continues "to sooth
to comfort and to bless as only a
good woman can.
He has one daughter who is mar
ried but lives next door to him and
the evening of his life comes serene
ly on and will be met with the pa.
tience and fortitude of a Christian
soldier. Although he has been al
ways modest and unassuming his
lie has been a model one in every
way and he has not an enemy in
the world. He has forgiven even
the Yankees that shot him.

Unique Experience of Mr.. Reed.

Stories of Mr.. Reeds adven-
lures during the war are too
familiar and too sad to be told
again. He was imprisoned
and suffered from hunger and
disease and was wounded IN
his leg, his arm and his shoul-
der in the battle of Knoxville.
He carried a minnie ball in
his shoulder for 81 years and
only few months ago it was
extracted. Although is
wound did not heal and he
suffered greatly he bravely
fought life's battle as a far
mer for many years. The sto-
ry of his first crop after the
war is one of success under
great difficulties. He lived %
with his widowed sister on the !
Chattahoochee River ear
Johnson's ferry and his only
possession was young horse
his father had raised for him
while he was in the army. He
planted 18 acres in corn and
his crop was 16 one-horse
wagon loads. A half acre Of
this crop was in a cane brake.
He cut holes in the ground
with spade because he could
not plOw it on account of the
cane roots. The only cultiva-
tion he could give it was TO
keep the cane cut from around [
corn which grew luxuriantIy in I
rich damp soil.
All that year Mr.. Reed did 7
have as much as one nickle tn me
ey and his fare was simple a
scant. He fed his faithful hol

Cashier at Bloomstein's in Nashville Hears Wonderful
 Stories About Vitalitas

Mir Joe G. Mcdonald, well-known as cashier of Boomsten's Pharmacy, in Nashville, comes in contact with largs terview he said:
 T hear people who have tried Nitalitas s from over the state. coming in the store daily, praise Vitalitas; they have suf- fered from many ailments. I have never heard anything that has been praised as has Nitalitas and l can add my words to the thousands of others. It seems to touch the organs that are ailing. I have used it for stomach trouble indi- gestion and a combination of other ail- ments and it has greatly benefited me I do not suffer with my stomach have a good appetite and can eat anything
 MT Mcdonald is in a position to know and judge what Yitalitas is doing for large numbers of people. It is. without doubt natures greatest corrective and tonic, giving relief and bringing cures ofttimes in cases that were regarded as hopeless There is no mineral water, so far as known that equals it in corrective results. It is free of any injurious in- gredient and those in delicate health who cannot withstand narcotics and opates should lose no time in Investigating Vi- talitas. It should be in every home. Take 1t in either hot or cold water.
 See the demonstration now in progress at Averyts Drug Store. 109-111 20th st. and have a sample drink of Ntalitas, or you can write there for information. Also for sale by Pegram-Patton Drug Co, Eessemer. Ala,
