WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 16.-Tha
oates for the next Reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans have been
fixed Off May 28th to June End, 1917
inclusive, according to advices from Fl,
F. Cary, General Passenger Agent OF
the Southern Railway Company, WASH
ington, D. c., who is chairman of the
finance committee and member of the
general reunion committee. The meet
ing will be held in Washington.
Reports from all parts of the South
indicate that the attendance of the 1917
Reunion will be greater than that of
any other meeting ever held in WASH
ington, and it is expected that the nat
ural interest attached alone in visit
to the National Capital will swell the
large crowds who annually are attract
ed to the reunions of the veterans to
record breaking figure.
Preliminary plans for the reunion,
which are now being mapped out by
the committees, provide for an elab
crate entertainment of the veterans
with excursions to Gettysburg and 9th

PISTOL TOTERS TO HAVE
NO MERCY IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 16.-Pistol tot
ing will be a very dangerous pastime
in Atlanta for several weeks, in con-
sequence of the killing of Policeman
w. E. Armistead and the wounding Of
his fellow officer by negro whom they
arrested at midnight for idling on the
street.
Judges of the various courts in At
lanta have expressed the greatest in
dignation over the crime and have CIV
en- warning that pistol toters brought
before them will get no mercy.
THE man who puts a loaded pistol
in his pocket has made. up his mind to
kill a human being" declared Judge
andy Calhoun of the city court. He
may kill in self defense, but the
chances are that he will kill on the
slightest provocation, often without
provovation whatsoever"

PLENTY OF TOYS BUT
NOT So PRETTY NON

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 16,-Plenty of
toys to make the children happy at
Christmas time-provided the children
are not particular as to the artistic
quality of the gifts they find in their
stockings.
That is the verdict of Atlanta toy
dealers after examining their supplies
for the holidays, and the answer is that
everything is made this year by Amer
lean manufacturers.
An American can make a doll, for
example, but it hasn't the beautiful
delicate features and the eyes that "go
to sleep" like the dolls from Dresden
An American can make doll house,
but he will probably overlook the lit
tie trees in the yard and other touches
that spell the difference between man
ufacture and art. He can construct d
mechanical toy, but at best it's a
rather clumsy makeshift.
In the realm of vehicles, however,
the American toy-maker is not only
equal to his erstwhile European COM
petitor, but is far ahead. The Ameri
can velocipede, tricycle., leg power"
automobile, roller coaster and other
machines in which the youngsters
travel are the best in the world.

AME R|CANS SHOULD
Be GREATER BY Wan

CHICAGO. Nov. 16-"Conditions
growing out of the European war will
demand, more than ever, that the peo-
pie of the United States develop and
live in the spirit of the international
mind" said c. l.. Deering. former pres.
ident of the Chicago Chamber of Com
merce, in an address on World Trade
Conditions of the Future" before the
American Mining congress here to-
day.
I'VE have been repeatedly reminded"
said Mr.. Deering, that the Spanish
American war of 1898 made this coun-
try an international power. Entrance
into the world as a worlds power
quickened that international under
standing known as the Monroe Doc
trine, and admonished both ourselves
and the world that hereafter in states
manship and in naval and military
resources we must measure up to our
responsibilities, even as in industrial
and commercial development we must
measure up to our opportunities.
THE markets of the world are not
to be taken by conquest. They must
be won and held by the same business
principles on which our domestic tribe
is founded, superior goods, superior
service, uniform fair-dealing .unfailing,
reliability and that faculty of being
'eternally on the job that is the truest
characteristic of American business.
1T is the foreign market that we
should strive to hold in the future.
Then there comes home to us at once
the imperative necessity of merchant
marine-American ships to carry
American merchandise. Another thing
We must consider is the establishment
of a permanent non-partisan tariff
commission.
THE immediate and tangible opopr-
tunity is now to fit ourselves for the
development the future may afford by
educating ourselves and our people on
the principles of conservation. econ
omy. patriotism and national prepared
ness"

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, Respondent
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapacl-
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside bath
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands OF
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
OF food and drink taken into the sys-
TEN nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else 1t ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each DAY,
before the fire will burn bright ana
hot, so he must each morning clear the
inside organs of the previous days
accumulation of indigestible waste
and body toxins. Men and women
whether sick or well, are advised to
drink each morning, before breakfast
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t,
as a harmless means of washing out
of the stomach, liver, kidneys ana
bowels the indigestible material, waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
effect upon the system. advt.
