ATLANTA GETS CLEAN
BILL OF HEALTH

Atlanta, Ga, July 25.-Government
investigators have given Atlanta a
clean bill of health concerning morals
in their report to the commission APP
pointed by Secretary Baker to make
a survey of conditions in cities where
cantonments have been located for
training recruits OF the selective draft
army.
According to reports reaching here
Of the nature ard contents of their
report. the investigators declare that
very little whiskey is sold in Atlanta,
that the city has no segregated district
and that the disreputable hotels of the
cheaper class have been reported to
the police authorities and will be put
out of business.
Uncle Sam is going to compel the
cleanup Of every community where
soldiers are trained in the great can
tonmcnts. and is going to keep them
clean. Atlanta has the advantage
of being exceptionally clean to start
with. and whatever additional work is
necessary will be done by the local
authorities with federal aid.

SUMMONING OF MEN
FOR WAR UNDER WAY

Washington, D. c.. Juyl 26,-Prep-
aration for actual mobilization Of the
national army went ahead here today
while the local selection boards in
many parts of the country began sum-
moning for examination the men who
will compose the force.
There are numerous details to be
worked out before those summoned
can actually be sent to their training
environments. 1t is believed, however
that considerable number will have
been finally selected before Aug
The entire force Will be ready, with
the exception probably of a few dis
puted cases, by the time the sixteen
environments are ready, early in the
fall.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemiShcs; to Whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon Juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating. and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through fine cloth
the juice OF two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
OF orchard white, then shake well
and you have a whole quarter pint of
skin and complexion lotion at about
the cost one usually pays for a small
jar OF ordinary cold cream. Be sure
to strain the lemon juice so no pulp
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
lace, neck, arms and hands it should
help to bleach. clear, smoother and
beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer the lemons. adv.

MAY OPERATE FREIGHT
TRAINS ON SUNDAY

Atlanta, Ga, July 25.-Allowing the
railroad commission OF Georgia in
their discretion to suspend the opera
ton OF the law against the running of
freight trains on the Sabbath seems
to be the best solution of the question
yet proposed in the legislature, and
the bill to this effect which was pass
ed by the senate yesterday will prob
ably be accepted by the house as a
compromise.
War conditions make it necessary to
operate freight trains without let or
hinderance in the transportation of
supplies for the government and sup
plies for industries filing government
contracts, and for this reason it has
been proposed to repeal for the pc
Rod of the war the law against the
Sunday operation OF freight trains.
Some OF the ministers OF the state
have strongly opposed the suggestion
on the ground that there should be
no letting down OF moral standards
under the plea of military necessity.
Placing the matter in the hands OF
the railroad commission with author
ity to grant suspension OF, the law
when necessary only. and then only
for such such periods as may be nee
essary. seems to offer the acceptable
all-round solution

OUR FIGHTING MEN.

Work on the plan OF Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo for life and
indemnity insurance to the soldiers
and sailors OF the United States is
progressing. The advisory committee
of 10 prominent insurance men and
other committees and the Secretary
are working out the details and a bill
will ultimately be drafted and pre-
Sented to Congress for action. The
report OF the various committees and
the Secretary's action furnish a tanpi-
bic working basis for the legislation
The insuring of Our soldiers and
sailors will be only a new application
OF well-known principle Employees
insurance, especially for those ,engap-
ed in hazardous employment, has long
been recognized as a just and wise
and profitable policy in private bust
ness, and has been successfully oper-
ated for years. In fact through the
United States Employees ,Compensa-
ton Commission civilian employees of
the Government are now insured
against accidents occurring in the
course OF their employment.
The wisdom and justice of a great
government applying the principle to
its citizens who for their country's
sake engage in the extra hazardous
employment of war are apparent to
all. Our soldiers and sailors in de-
tense Of their country are daily haz-
arding their lives and asfety and they
certainly deserve the same protection,
and their dependents deserve the same
protection, that great business corpora
tons give their employees and the
United States gives certain of its en-
ployees.
Secretary McAdoo before the con-
ference of insurance men outlined his
policy as follows: 1T seems to me that
we ought not, as we send our men into
this war, say to them that they must
be dependent upon future legislation
for the granting of compensations
which have heretofore, under Our pol
icy, taken the form of pensions. Our
brave men should not be left in un-
certainty or doubt as to what is going
to be done for them in case of either
death or total or partial disability. A
man who goes out to fight for the
United States is entitled to know in
advance what just government is GO
ing to do for him"
One OF the great uses Of the pro-
ceeds Of the Liberty Loan Bonds is to
protect our fighting men, to supply
them with everything that will make
them powerful. effective and as saft
as may be. That those who meet
with disability in the course of their
duty should be given compensation
and that the dependents Of those who
die for their country should be given
compensation is exactly in line with
and really part of this use of the
proceeds of the Liberty Loan Bond.

GONE TO THE CoLORS

The kid has gone to the colors
And we don't know what to say.
The kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him child, baby
With never care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting
Where fred, by fife and drum,
He bowed his head to "Old Glory"
And said it whispered Come"
The kid, not being Stacker"
Stood forth with patriotic joy
To add his name to the roster:
Oh God! We're proud of our boy.
The kid has gone to the navy,
1t seems just little while
Since he drilled Our school-boy army
In truly martial style.
But now he's man, a sailor
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal
With never thought of fear.
His dad, when he told him shuddered,
His mother, God bless her. cried;
Yet blessed with a mother nature,
She wept with a mothers pride.
And old grandad Strengthened his
shoulders.
For now his memory ran
TO days when he too youngster
Was changed from a boy to a man.

course the lessons are about subjects
in the bible and supplemented by IL
lustrations and examples drawn from
life. Since our Christian creed is
that the bible is the word OF God
and that God is the beginning and the
end Of all'things, who could reject the
Sunday School?
Truly while the young are occupied
with the lessons and attendance they
are away from the evils of the alleys
and streets, and they too know they
are in divine presence: The words Of
the preachers are generally too deep
theoretically and too far from child
life to be, OF much interest to the very
Young, SO that is the place where the
Sunday School reaches those not
touched by the preachers. There is
no good reason why Sabbath Schools
should not be and the only people
generally who oppose the operation of
lHcNH arc tHooc VINO never ndu the
advantage and pleasure OF them while
young. Some OF the strongest traits
Of character in our greatest people
we're rot bred into them but taught
into them by Christian association.
To shut a child oft from Sabbath
School is TO deprive him OF funda-
mental right. A nation of Sabbath
School children now means nation
of Christians hence, and Christian ma
tons have always prospered most.

CONDUCTORS MUST HAVE
TWO YEARS EXPERIENCE

Atlanta. Ga, July 25,-The railroad
committee of the house of representa-
tives on yesterday afternoon adverse
ly reported the bill to prohibit the
employment of railroad conductors
who have not had two years previous
experience.
The measure was opposed on the
ground that the country's greatest
weakness, or at least one Of its most
serious weaknesses, is the lack Of ade-
quate transportation facilities. so that
a law to place limit on the supply Of
any branch of men in railroad service
would be very likely to have disas-
trous results in time of war.

DRIFTING DOWN THE STREAM

We are slowly, surely, drifting. lives
obscure or lives sublime,
With the currents ever shifting, daily
down the stream of time.
Some are laughing, others weeping,
many tossed, few serene;
Some sink on their maiden voyage,
e'er lies cares or joys they've
seen.
Whether on the tiny brooklet or on
the mighty Amazon.
We're all headed for LIES ocean, as
the time and tides go speeding on.
Our life's course we cannot alter, nor
postpone its end a day,
Why hurry, worry, halt or falter?
Time and tides will have their way.
In this vast mysterious universe, with
its planets by the score,
Each revolving in its own course,
we're just atoms-nothing more.
Why should we vain-glorious mortals
in our egoism supreme.
Feel that we are of such moment or
can change lifc's ebbing stream?
Why, nor who we are, we know not
whittier going, whence we came;
The stream of time with us upon il
keeps on flowing just the same
So let us cease to whine and worry
be ready for the Reaper's call,
Be joyful and make others happy
we're only transients, after all.

THIRD PAYMENT DUE

The third payment of twenty per-
centum on Liberty Bonds purchased
by instalments is due on July 30th.
The payment must be made on or be-
ore that date according to the Off
cial statement of terms and conditions
Of the sale OF Liberty Loan Bonds
made by Secretary McAdoo at the
same time subscriptions were invited.
Whether the bonds were purchased
from the Treasury or the Federal Re.
serve Banks or through other banks
or agencies it is important that these
and succeeding installments be paid
promptly.
The action of many employers of
labor in arranging to pay their en-
ployees on July 30th instead OF Aug
uSt lst i'll order to enable them to
promptly make their payments on
Liberty Loan Bonds is an excellent
and patriotic example which no doubt
will be followed by large number OF
employers.
