Katherine Coffman Stanley, wife
of Mr.. o. d. Stanley, was born Dec.
%, 1896, and departed this life Oct.
7, 1918, at her home in Shady Grove
community.
Since last October Mrs. Stanley
had been in i'll health, and had en-
tirely lost her voice. On Oct. l she
was taken seriously ill with pneu-
monia and was permitted to suffer
only a short while. She professed
faith in Christ in August, 1912, and
since then had been a devout Chris
tian worker in the Missionary Bap-
fist Church at Mount Pclia. On
June IA, 1913, she was married to
Mr.. o. D. Stanley, and to them a
son was given. She will be missed
in the community as ray of glad
ness. She had a smile, a kind low
word, and a welcome hand for all
she knew. Even during her illness
she never became dcSpondcnt but was
ever on the bright side of life. Her
sweet alto voice we shall miss, but
we know it is sounding in Heaven,
for all during her last suffering she
herself as being ready and
willing to follow His call. Mr.. Stan
ley did everything in his power to
comfort and prolong her life. He
gave her treatment under DR.. Simp-
son, the throat specialist, and DR..
Fountaine, the well known specialist,
both of Memphis. He was also plan
ming to leave in this month for the
West with her, but the Lord needed
her and sent his angels to claim her.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and
only effective remedy for bad cold,
sore throat, influenza or la grippe is
what he calls "a brisk calomel
purge" which means big dose of
calomel at bed time. But as the old
style calomel has some very unpleas-
ant and dangerous qualities physi-
clans and druggists are now recon-
mending the improved nausealess
calomel, called "Calotabs" which is
purified and refined from the sicken-
ing and dangerous effects and whose
medicinal virtues are vastly i'm
proved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet,
pleasure or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-fve
cents. Your druggist guarantees
Calotabs by refunding the price if
you are not delighted.-adv.

AMERICAN AVIATORS
 IN ITALIAN CAMPS
(By Associated Press)

AMERICAN AVIATION TRAINING CAMP, Southern Italy, Feb. 1.-"You can't kill an American" is the dictum of the Italian officers training the sev- eral hundred young aviators who have been flying here since the end of Sep tember, when, by arrangement with the Italian government, this camp was established
 The Americans have such a repufa- tion for luck that Italian soldiers come here so they may touch one of the aviators. Tt brings us good luck, too they explain
 The Americans fly from morning uu- til night virtually every day. Not a single one has been killed and but three have been injured at all seri- ously. One of the latter, on his third trip alone, got into an air situation which he did not understand, with the result that he stopped his motor, whereupon the machine began to plunge downwards until it's fall was checked by the telegraph wires of the railway station of the nearby city. Thence the machine dropped to the ground and was smashed. The aviator was picked up for dead, but in five days he was ready for another fly
 The prize story of the camp con- cerns Harry Harris of California, who got lost, first in the clouds, and then in central Italy. He was couple of hours going away and whole week coming back to camp. As he after wards explained, he went up for an altitude and when he got above the clouds he was unable to discover whether he was flying upside down or right side up, or whether the earth was above or below him.
 Finally, after grazing a few noun tain tops of the Appennines. he lighted in the center of a village square, beg ging for something to eat. As he couldn't speak Italian, his explanation that he was Americana" didn't satis- fly the local police, who had never heard of American aviators in Italy but had heard a lot about those of Austria who have the unpleasant hab
 it of dropping bombs on coast towns along the Adriatic.
 However, he was fed and started campwards, after couple of days of detention He had flown nearly hundred and fifty miles away from
 camp, and when he got back there. he
 was accused of having been on a visit ! to some sweetheart.

EXAMINATION OF HIGH KULTUR'
Governor General of Belgium on Rec ord as Declaring the Innocent Must Suffer With the Guilty-lrvin
 Cobb's Tale of Horrors.

The horrors deliberately and sys- tematicaIg inficted upon the people of Belgium by the German soldiers, under the orders ot thejr command ing officers, are shown in al their hideousneSs by official documents md he testimony Of eye-witneSses, IS weH as by letters tcritten by Ger man soldiers in the field. The bra zen effort of Emperor William to cast the odium of he fearful deeds on the BeIgians IS also shown. QuO- totions giUea are from documents already made public or jm the pos session of the government at Wash ingtOn.
 This interview was reproduced in the BerlIner Tagebatt of November 20, 1914.
 Mfr. r. c. WslcOtt of the Belgian re- lief commission tells in the Geograph. teal Magazine for May, 1917, of meet ing Gen von Bernhardl:
 "As I walked out, Gen. von Bern hardi came into the room, an expert artilleryman, professor in one of their war colleges. l met him the next morning, and he asked me If had read his book, Germany in the Next War
 "I said I had. He said: Do you know, my friends nearly ran me out of the country for that| They said, You have let the eat out of the bag I said, No, I have not, because nobody will believe It. What did you think of it?'
 "I said. General, l did not believe Il word of it when I read it, but I now feel that you did not tell the whole truth and the old general looked actually pleased"
 Speaking on August %, 1914, at Munster, of the extreme measures which the Germans felt obliged to take against the civil population of Bel gium. Gen von Bsslng said:
 "The innocent must suffer with the guilty. In the repression of infamy, human lives cannot be spared and if isolated houses. flourishing viii lages. and even entire towns are anni- Inflated that K assuredly regrettable but it must not excite ill-timed senti, mentality. All this must not in our eyes weigh as much as the life of a single one of our brave sOldiers-the rigorous accomplishment of duty is the emanation of a high kultur, and in that, the population of the enemy countries can learn a lesson from our nrmv."

Officers Encouraged Atrocities.

Gen. von Kissing. after his appoint mcnt as governor general of Belgium, repeated in substance the above opln- ion to Dutch journalist. The inter- view is published in the Dusseldorfer | AnZelger of December 8. 1914.
 Irwin s. Cobb states his conclusions on the responsibility of the higher Ger man command for the atrocities:
 But l was an eyewitness to crimes which, measured by the standards of humanity and civilization, impressed me as worse than any individual ex- cess, any individual outrage, could ever have been or can ever be; be- cause these crimes indubitably were | Ilnstigated on a wholesale basis by or der of officers of rank, and must have been carried out under their personal supervision, direction, and approval. Taking the physical evidence offer ed before our own eyes, and buttress- ing it with the statements made to us, InCs only by natives, but German sol diers and German officers, we could reach but one conclusion, which was that here, in such and such a place, those in command had said to the troops: Spare this town and these people. And there they had said:
 Waste this town and shoot these peo- ple. And here the troops had discrim- lnately spared and there they had ln- discriminatory wasted. in exact ac- cOrdance with the word of their supe- riors. s."-Irvin Cobb, Speaking of Prus- sians, New York, 1917, pp. 32-34.
 Hoodwinked German People.
 These ideas, then, were Systemat- ically impressed upon the military and official classes. It was necessary, however, to work upon the minds of the German people, so that they might lend themselves to the inhuman poli- cies advocated by the military leaders. To do this was difficult. for. as has heen shown often. many of the civil ian leaders of public opinion. time and again. expressed their horror of the new spirit which was animating the Military authorities. The reIchstag debates give ample evidence of this, and the task of the military leaders would have been still more difficult if the reichStag had any real power. (See War Information Series No. 3, "The Government of Germany" see also Gerard's My Four Years in Ger many" chapter 2)
 The military authorities and those in sympathy with them have done all In their power to stimulate hatred of other peoples in the minds of the Ger mans. A campaign of education be-
