HOME OF UNCLE REnUS
IS TAKEN BY SOLDIERS
War Camp Community Service Enter.
tatnS Doughboys in Charming
Atmosphere.

Atlanta Ca. Dec. l5.--Atlanta War
Camp Community Service has had the
rare privilege of opening one of this
country's literary shrines to our men
in uniform. This is the home of Joel
Chandler Harris. author OF the Uncle
Remus' stories. which with Wash
ington Trving's rip Van Wrinkle"
form practically our entire stock OF
folk lore tales. The big rambling
house is known as the "Wren's Nest
from the following characteristic in
cfdent. One day the children rushed
in and told the kindly writer that a
wren had built her nest in the bat
tered old box in which Harris NAH
was deposited. He hurried out and
intercepted the postman. and forbade
him ever to put mail in it again.
You can leave my mail anywhere"
he said, Il don't want to break up n
home"
In all the windows OF the old house,
al 214 Gordon street. appears the red
tArcle of War Camp Community Serv-
ice. the sign of welcome to all the
soldiers in the world except Germans.
Austrians, Bulgarians and Turks.
Admission is free to them. and they
throng in at all hours. but especially
Saturday afternoons and Sundays.
Pictures of Uncle Remus' friends,
James Whitcomb Riley. Theodore
Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie adorn
the walls. and our men in uniform
have the run of the house--all OK
cept one room.
This is the room in which Harris
lived and wrote most Of his Uncle
Remus' tales. A wooden gate bars
the entrance and the room is kept
just as he left it There ia the bed
he slept and died in. There is his
table. and on It his antiauated type
writer and the black Stetson hat
which he wore perpetually except at
meals Beside them lie Uncle
Remus'" spectacIes. and against the
mantel lean his stout cane and an
cient umbrella. His black string tic
hangs on the gas jet where he put
It. and on the bureau his shaving
brush and razor strop are visible.
Everything is of the utmo simplicity.
He was raised poor and liked
things simple" says the courteous old
gentleman who exhibits these me-
nentoes "Why Lazarus was opulent
compared to him in his early life"
The mem hership of the Uncle
Remus' Association extends far and
wide, and at one time the Boston
members proposed to buy the house
and transfer it bodily to that city.
But Atlanta's citizens rose in their
wrath and the house remains where
1t was. A branch Carnegie Library
where they can obtain books adds to
its attractions for the soldiers. OF
course they all read the Uncle Remus
stories and many of them can quote
the pathetic lines written in his
memory:
THE rabbit will hide as he always
hid.
And the fox will do AS he always did
But who will tell us what they say
Since Uncle Remus has gone away"

There's no reason why. person should take sickening, saiivating cal omel when few cents buys large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel.
 It is pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate.
 Children and grown folks can take Qodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless.
 Calomel is a dangerous drug. It

is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a days work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness, constipation, slug gishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you.

 2. That the use of materials be imitei as far f,5 possible te. farm lanure. acid phosphate, Rock phost- l late, cotton:eed meal, nitrate Of soda i nd the better grades of mixed fer lizers offered in the market
 3. That care be taken on the farm 0 collect and use all farm manure by .onfning animals to barns, sheds and mall lots as far as practicable fer ee1ing and the accumulation of man re; that exposed quantities of manure }e removed promptly to the field and spread.
 4.That maure and fertilizers be used on grain crops first, because a short lge of food would mean national dis aster.
 g. That the worlds needs for food materials justify the use of fertilizers even where profits are small or en- tirely lacking.
 G. That minimum of tons of manure, reinforced by 15O lbs. of acid phosphate or 300 to 800 lbs. of rock phosphate, be used an average soils. z. That in the absence of manure materials be used as fellows:
 a. On low producing lands use POO lbs. acid phosphate and 200 lbs cottonseed meal. . b. On better soil use 200 lbs acid phosphate and 100 lbs cottonseed meal.
 c. On sandy soil use 100 lbs acid phosphate and 200 lbs. cottonseed meals
 (The above will apply to corn, co.ton and wheat) s. That for more special fertiliZa- tion for wheat 150 lbs. acid phosphate be applied before seeding and 50 lbs of nitrate of soda, 60 days before ma, tu; ity.
