MRS. WATKINS MUSICAL
(Contributed.)

he Carnegie Auditorium was
packed to Overlooking Thursday eve
ming to witness the second entertain
mcnt given by Mrs Newton Watkins
and her music pupils. Last year
drew large crowd, but this year ex-
ira seats were provided and these
would not accommodate the crowd.
The evening was perfect, and it
seemed that besides the parents, all
the friends and acquaintance of these
young people had turned out to do
honor to the occasion.
The stage was beautiful in its dec
orations of pink flowers, green foliage
and ferns, and made charming
background for the girls in their
dainty white dresses.
Master1 John Dorminey and Ralph
Adams, in suits of gray with white
button-hole bouquet acted as ushers
and made every one as comfortable
as possible
The exercises opened with a song
by four little girls, after which there
followed an interesting and varied
program. There were a great many
fine piano selections, consisting of
duets and solos. We would like to
give the names of all those who took
part in the evenings exercises and of
each selection they gave, and the nice
things we would like to say about
them, but as we do not know them
it will be impossible for us to do so.
There was one young lady who
gave an unusually fine number which
we appreciated very much and sew
eral others who reflected much credit
ON their teacher as we'll as themselves
The little song and play by the pri-
maries was very pleasing and attract
ed a good deal of attention. The
Swing Song by fourteen girls was
one of the best features of the eve
ming. This song had merry ring to
| it, the music was especially pleasing,
the singers keeping time to the song
and music by the graceful movements
Of bodies, arms and feet. This at
tracted more than unusual attention.
Evelyn Harris in her song, "Come
Out and Play" and Selma Dorminey
in Comm Through the Rye" made
their first appearance on the stage, re-
ceived many compliments and were
much applauded.
Ralph Adams in his Scotch song
was encored repeatedly. Those who
remembered the impression he made
last year were more than anxious to
hear him again. John Dorminey was
applauded by his friends, too, on his
piano piece
Elizabeth Nixon sang sweet
touching piece which went to the
hearts of her listeners.
Mrs. Watkins deserve especial
praise for her management and skill
IN training SO large number of all
sizes and ages. We have known her
quite number OF years and gan assert
that we have seldom met with one
who possessed more patience and
tact or who was more adapted to the
work Of teacher
We hope that our young friends
will compliment us again at some
future time with another entertain
ment Of this kind.

"CUT OUT VEAL" AND
EAT NO FRIED CHICKEN"

Atlanta, Ga, May 11.-"Save the
calves" is the newest food slogan
sounded to the farmers of Georgia
and the South, and of the whole coun-
try, for that matter.
Cut out veal" will doubtless take
its place along with the slogan made
famous at the Macon food conference,
which was greeted with some conster-
nation but adopted nevertheless, and
which was as follows:
EAT no fried chicken save the
hens for layers"

BOOB INTRODUCES BILL TO

FROM SMOKING

Atlanta, Ga, May 12.-Recruiting

hibit tlfe sale of tobacco to soldiers.
"You can't treat men in fighting
army like mollycoodles," they say,
and point out that the French give
their soldiers all the tobacco they
want, and the British also.

PUTTING ONE OVER ON cow
Japanese Solve Problem by Extensive
Use of Artificial Milk Derived
From Soy Bean.

The milk problem is by way Of be-
ing solved in Japan where cows are
scarce, by an extensive use Of arti-
fetal milk derived from the soy bean.
First, the japanese soak the beans,
then boil them until the liquid turns
white, when they add sugar and phoS-
phate of potash. The boiling is re-
sumed until q fluid results Very similar
in consistency and appearance TO ordi-
nary condensed milk. When water is
added soy milk is hardly TO be dis
tinguiShed from fresh cows milk.
In composition also the artificial
milk is almost like genuine milk. Its
proteins, fats and sugars are in very
nearly the same proportion, although,
Of course, they are wholly vegetable in
origin.
Whether the substitute is equal to
real cows milk asa form of nourish-
ment is not quite clear, for much OF
the value of milk as a food comes
from the engines or vitamines it con-
tains. The japanese however, declare
that it serves all the purposes OF
cows milk. and that it has the advan-
tage of being less liable to infection
when properly and carefully manufac-
tured.-lOuth's Companion.

sAEEzlNe ONCE FATAL SIGN
Superstition Was the Origin of
Phrase, "God Bless You!" Still
Heard in Europe.

SneeZing from very remote times
has been regarded with superstition.
Dur fOrefathers went to bed again if
they .sneezed while putting on their
shoes. A sneeZe to the right was
deemed lucky; to the left, of evil por-
tent. To sneeze near a burial place
was very unlucky, says the London
Telegraph.
Tradition has it that sneezing was
ut first fatal sign-every human be-
.ng sneeZed but once and then died
5ut Jacob petitioned the Creator to
'emove the sneezing ban and succeed
ed. Thence arose the once universal
custom of saluting a sneeZer with
God bless you"' or "AIay you live
long" The custom still obtains in
some parts of Europe.
:, In England not only was q sneeZer
blessed, but friends raised their hats
to him as well. In an old book, "1he
Code of Conduct" it is directed that
IF his lordship sneezes We are not to
Dawl out God bless your but bow to
him handsomely" All over the world
the SneeZe was recognized. Whole
nations were under orders to make eX-
Carnations when their king sneezed.
SneeZing was believed to be a sure
cure for hiccups and was also looked
Upon as a sign of sanity. If ancient
and universal belief goes for anything
It is good to SneeZe.

PETUNIA

Because of the ease and facility
with which all of the single-fowered
varieties of the petunia can be grown
from seed this plant commands atten-
tion as worthy candidate for the
summer flower garden. The young
plants grow rapidly and come into
bloom early, and in addition to this
they furnish continuous wealth Of
blossoms until destroyed by frost.
The large-tlowered strains are very
beautiful and of great variety. While
the single sorts are common and mex
pensive, the double giant t-fowered va
rieties are rendered expensive because
they must be reproduced from seed
which sets only after careful hand pol

Bleeding Useful at Times.

For ages one Of the customs of
Chinese physicians has been to thrust
fine needles into the body to let out
pains and various maladies and it ap-
pears that bleeding in this way is
often really useful. After long OBJ
servation in China DR.. james Camille
reports himself so much impressed
with the results that he has adopted
the procedure himself for certain
cases. Needing seems to lessen the
tension in the intlamed part and to re-
lieve neuralgia and rheumatic pains,
swelling and stiffness from spraiES and
fractures, and especially the indefinite
hip pains usually called sciatica.

First of Printed Books,

Although neither CaXtOn nor other OF
early printers included any part of the
holy scriptures among their produc-
ti0ns, it is a noteworthy fact that the
Bible was the first printed book in the
world, being, moreover, the master
piece of the illuStriOuS inventor OF the
art of printing, Johann Genstleisch ven
Sulzebach, surnamed Zum Gutenberg
having associated himself with Johann
Faust of MentZ. produced with his as
siStance in 1450-55 (the book is I'M
dated) the famous folio Latin Bible
commonly known us the MaZarin Bible
the first copy having been discovered
in the library of Cardinal MaZarin.
The expense Of this production was so
great that Gutenberg was unable to re-
pay his partner the money that he had
advanced, and was obliged to resign
to him the whole of his printing estab-
lishment and plant, with which Faust,
in partnership with Peter Schoeffer,
printed the equally famous MentZ Psal-
ter in 1851 BY the testimony of auc-
ton prices these are the two most val
liable books in the world.

Seeding plants should be transplanted
I rich garden loan and placed about
4 foot apart each way. The seed Of
the double varieties is less vigorous
than that of the single sorts and there
fore requires more attention to pre-
vent extremes of temperature and Of
moisture to insure good termination.
If the seeds are sown in boxes in the
living room, a pane of glass may with
advantage be kept over the top to
maintain close atmosphere, and thus
prevent the loss of moisture until the
young plants are well out of the
ground, In planting, the seeds should
be scattered over the surface of the
soil and brought in contact with it by
1irming. They should not, like most
other seeds, be covered.
Petunias are attractive in beds and
masses. serve well for broad borders
or bands, and thrive we'll in window
boxes. They are not exacting as re-
CARDS soil conditions, thriving well in
almost any arabic soil, and they en-
dure drought well and bloom profusely.
