TIE soLnIER,s DREAM.


Our bugles sang truce, for the night
had lowered
And the sentinel stars set their watch
in the sky;
And thousands had sunk on the ground
overpowered,
The weary to sleep, and the wounded
to die.
When reposing that night on my pallet
of straw
BY the wolfscaring faggots that
guarded the slain,
At the dead of the night a sweet Vision
I saw;
And thrice ere the morning dreamt
it again.
Methought from a battlefield's dreadful
array
Far, far I had roamed on a desolate
track;
Twas autumn, and sunshine arose on
the way
To the home of my fathers that well
coined me back.
l flew to the pleasant field, traversed so
oft .-
In Hfe's morning march, when my
bosom was young;
I heard my own mountain goats bleating
alOft
And knew the sweet strains that the
corn reapers sung.
Then pledged we together, and fondly
| Swore
From my home and my weeping
friends never to part;
My little ones kissed me a thousand
times DER,
And my wife sobbed aloud In her
fulness of heart.
Stay, stay with US, rest, rest, thou art
weary and worm
And fain was their war-broken soldier
to stay;
But sorrow returned with the dawning
of morn,
And the voice in my dreaming ear
melted away.

A STRANGE CASE
Right Here in Georgia.

Atlanta, CAV found DIR. Pierce's
advice most satisfactory in quite
a peculiar train of circumstances. Soon
after arising in the morning peculiar
feeling would begin at my stomach,
which seemed to swell, everything
would become dark and l would faint
dead away. When l became conscious,
vomiting would set in and very large
beads of perspiration would cover my
entire body and would wet my clothes
through and through, also had trouble
peculiar to women. insufficient sleep
also retarded my gain. My blood, no
doubt, was poisoned by my being
badly constipated. The constipation
was relieved, however, by the Pleasant
Pellets and, wonderful to say, Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery en-
tireiy cured my case of unusual health.
The trouble never returned. MRS. D.
B. GOLDEN, 2I3 Coolidge Place,
Atlanta, Georgia.
An imitation of natures method of
replacing waste of tissue, enriching i'm
poverished blood and increasing nerve
force is when you take an alternative ex-
tract of herbs and roots made with pure
glycerine, without the use of alcohol,
like Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This vegetable medicine
coaxes the digestive functions and helps
in the assimilation of food, or rather
takes from the food just the nutriment
the blood requires.
Pure blood is essential to good
health. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery not only cleanses the blood
of impurities, but it increases the
activity of the blood-naking glands,
and enriches the body with an
abundant supply of pure, rich blood.
It thus cures scrofula, eczema, erysip-
elias, boi1s, pimp1es and other eruptions
that mar and scar the skin.
Write DIR. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, for free booklet on blood.

VOTES FoR WOMEN.

The roll was completed when the st.
Louis convention pronounced for womaSs
suffrage in the United States. and the
convention vote was decisive-SSS IL in
favor and 1s1 IL against. This decree
is now signed and sealed and is demo-
cratic law for the next four years. Ev-
cry political party in the United States
has now declared for equal suffrage,
and unless the representatives in state
and national legislatures now advocate
the same they will necessarily become
persona non grata and incendiary to
the declared will of all our political
parties.
The fact that the states already en-
franchised control nearly one hundred
electoral votes was the prime reason
why the Democrats made the final
plunge. President Wilson. understands
the situation, and it was declared on
the convention floor that he particular
ly desired ii should be made one of the
planks in the Democratic platform 1t
was so declared in st. Louis, and the
resistance was childish and puny COM
pared to the overwhelming majority in
it's favor There were a number of
woman delegates TO the St. Louis con-
vention, accredited delegates from en-
franchised states. Their presence and
the dignity of their plea had vast in
f1uence on the majority. and l am now
wondering what will be said in Geor-
gia by those persons who have been UNI
kind, unjust and ungallant to the Geor-
gia women who have requested the leg
islature to allow the subject to be voted
upon in, the Empire State of the South
Do not forget that the vote in these
great political conventions has been cast
by husbands, fathers and sons. They
have said in thunder tones, We will
give to our women, at least, as much
authority as was given to colored men
fifty years ago.

HOW THE GERMANS GOT LIaTII


HOW THE GERMANS GOT L1aUID
FIRE.
The German liquid fire device, which
has been used with such terrible eff
feet in the European war. was really
discovered or invented by an Australian
laboratory expert. He first carried his
invention to the British war office and
offered to sell to the government. They
declined the offer. The war office de-
clined because the invention was in con-
travention to the Hague convention. The
government declined because ii was the
work of a crank He then approached
the French or Italian governments, and
they refused to buy.
When he reached Germany he had a
warm reception. He told several of his
friends that the German government
snapped it up with a shout The chem
ical compound that he made would taEe
fire when exposed to the air. The
Germans had already invented quirt
that would throw such things five
miles. When the Germans saw the
compound that the Australian had fixed
up they had the very thing they need
ell in intensive warfare.
The Australian is reported as saying
long years before the present war:
MAN this time would destroy soldiers
as if they. were rats. No bayonet
charge could stand up against it,"
The destruction that this liquid fire
made on British. French and Canadian
troops beggars description. 1t moved
them down with tornado sweep. 1t did
destroy soldiers like rats. The Brit
fish government was more hum,tne, or
more uneducated as to what liquid fire
could do. Let us give them credit for
more humanity at least.
Imagine a fire squirt, filled with hogs
heads of liquid fire that could reach
five miles and destroy anything in a
second. belonging to the animal and
vegetable kingdom, and we have some
idea of what those allied soldiers We're
up against on battle lines a hundred
miles long,

The answer lies in that delicious bever-
age Coca-Cola. Soon after its introduce
ton at the fountains people began to ask
more and more for this distinctive drink.
Along with its demand came the de-
mand for more places that would serve it.
Soda fountains sprang up everywhere,
improving in beauty, neatness and at
tractive service. 1t is a fact that the part
the soda fountain and all its allied indus
tries have come to play in the economic
life of the nation today is due largely to
the stimulus given to it by Coca-Cola.
In the same way has the call for bottled
beverages grown. In 1899 Coca-Cola in
bottles was first put on the market and
the same quick recognition and apprecia-
ton was accorded to it in this form as
