The Beautiful Cuk Ceast
The Riviera q America

Probably in no part Of the south
is there to be found more salubrious
and restful country than along the
shore of the Gulf Of Mexico from
New Orleans east to Mobile and
Pensacola, where nature has been
lavish in the distribution of her
bounties. There is the sparkling
water of the Gulf and the bay-indent-
ed shore forming natural water ways
for all manner of water sports, sail
ing, motoring, canoeing, fishing and
the like. This charming resort land
is easily accessible, and may be
quickly reached by the modern steel
trains over the Louisville & Nash
vile r. R.: passengers may leave
Cincinnati, Louisville or Evansville
in the evening, and arrive at the
Gulf Coast resorts the following al
ternoon.
The mild, equable climate with
which this district is favored is a
delight to the tourist. The climate Is
delightful at all seasons Of the year;
during the winter months it is
moderate and bracing, putting snap
end energy into the system.
The Gulf Coast is fast becoming
one of the popular watering places
of the country, and counts among Its
recent guests the distinguished Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t IS Incl
with many resort cities and towns,
each extending hospitable welcome
to the visitor. Every resort Is shaded
by age-old ancestral oaks, hung with
trailing vines and Spanish moss; and
they all look out over the Gulf waters,
at the dancing waves, the scudding
sails, and the beach and the surf.
The placid waters and the sloping
shores give to boating and aquatic
sports enjoyments unalfoyed, and
abundant haunts of fish and game af-
ford an endless paradise to devotees
Of rod and gun; the many golf courses
and tennis courts provide ample OPP
portunities for the enthusiasts OF
these fascinating games.
Most excellent opportunities are
there for the lover of motoring, in
the abundance of fine shell roads
which skirt the shore of the Gulf un-
der the massive live oaks and extend
back into the pine forests, along the
shores of the many bays and bayous,
the magnificent scenery along these
roads appealing strongly to ones
sense of the beauties of nature. If
enc can't find happiness and content
ment down there in the golden sun
shine and among the countless di-
versions and attractions of that play
ground he is indeed hard to please.
Numerous hotels and boarding
houses at the various Gulf Coast re-
sorts provide admirably for the COM
fort of guests, and the variety adj
mits Of terms to fit any purse, de-
pending upon the individual require
ments Of the visitor, who can be
housed among the Injuries Of the
more fashionable hotels, or In the less
pretentious ones, according to his
own desires. In buying tickets to
New Orleans and the Gulf Coast Re-
sorts passengers should see that they
read beyond Evansville, Louisville or
Cincinnati via the Louisville & Nash
vile r. R., the only line running along
the Gulf Coast and reaching all these
resorts. The train service over this
line is unsurpassed. The sumptuous
through steel trains are equipped with
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-02-05

drawing-room sleepers and reclining
chair cars. All meals en- route are
provided in dining cars; the service
is la carte (you pay only for what
you order) and the prices are
moderate. This line is famous for
the excellence of it's dining car ser
vice; it has no superior, and few, If
any, equals.
Passengers from Cincinnati, Louis
vile, Frankfort or Evansville and
vicinity contemplating a trip T.
Florida may easily, and at slight ad-
ditional cost, arrange their route to
permit of a visit to the Gulf coast.
Tickets to Florida routed via LOWS
vile & Nashville R. R., through
River Junction, allow privilege of
stop-over at Flomaton, Ala, from
which point round trip side Trip
tickets may be purchased to these
resorts.
A beautiful illustrated folder de-
scribing this enchanting vacation
land, may be obtained at the principal
ticket offices of the Louisville &
Nashville R. R., or by addressing r

THE SECERT SERVICE ARREST
PROMINENT GERMAN AGENT

With the arrest of George Boden,
for the last two years in charge of
the foreign exchange department of
a large San Francisco bank, Federal
officers believe they have put an
end to Germany's alleged executive
financial system in the United States
and Japan, which has been main
tanned in spite of the war. Docu-
ments were seized which the au-
thorities contend show that Boden
had been Pacific Coast representa-
tive of the German Imperial Bank OF
Berlin.

GETTING RID OF COLDS.

The easiest and quickest way to
get rid of a cold is to take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. This
preparation has BEEN in use for
many years and its value fully
proven. No matter what remedy
you use; however, care must be
taken not to contract a second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or
older should go to bed and stay in
bed until fully recovered. 1t IS
better to stay in bed three days at
the start than three weeks later on.

DREADFUL COUGH CURED.

A severe cold is often followed
by a rough cough for which Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has proven
especially valuable. Mrs. F. w.
Olsen, Marysville, Mo-, writes:
About two years ago my little boy
Jean caught severe cold and
coughed dreadfully for days. tried
number of cough medicines but
nothing did him any good until I
gave him Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t relieved his cough right
away and before he had finished
taking one bottle he was cured. I
think it is just fine for children"

The game was close guarding ex-
hibition throughout, as the score lndi-
Gates, and, although there was consider
able clever passing on the part of both
teams, there were very few opportunities
to shoot from the field. The Phlladelphians
showed a very speedy combination, and,
aside from the close guarding, outplaycd
the Wilmington passers at the other de-
partments of the game.
Last nights victory marked Cen
eral Offices second over the local boys,

impression on the Philadelphia quintet,
composed of several American Lague
stars.
Wilderman at forward put up a great
floor game for the Quaker City tossers
and also led in the scoring with three
field goals and seven fouls. Coghlan,
Miller and Hopkins also showed a clever
passing and floor game.
For Wilmington, Shields performed
IN his usual classy style and equallcd,
If not surpassed, the efforts OF any other

Taken to Homes Along

The plan TO weigh and measure children
through auto welfare stations tired out
over the causeway yesterday was sue

was exceedingly arduous for the workers.
This weighing and measuring Is the pre-
Eminsrv step in the childrens year pro-

save 100 900 children from dying during
infancy
Every child along the causeway was
weighed and measured by the rowing
expedition Yesterday, and also p children
of Italian parcntagc in Ball alley, on
Fourth street between West and Tatnalt.
The condition along the causeway was
what might be expected. One mother who
had lived in Wilmington all her life could
not read or write, but she SAID her hns-
band was able to read "A bIt.
All of the mothers were glad of the
chance to have their children examined.
